Hi people.
Does anyone happen to know whether there is a sample script/application out

I don't know a proper name for this type of application, therefor I haven't

You may want to try this class that can compose and send a MIME message
just like you need attaching any files you need among other things.

No PEAR-DB does not guarantee true database portability. Among other
things, think about for instance date and time fields that are formatted
differently between databases. PEAR-DB does not assure that you only
deal with a single format, so you would always have to handle eventual
differences in format representation in your application which is what
you want to avoid.
If you are looking for true database portability, you may want to look
at Metabase which is a much more mature database abstraction package
that not only deals with data type representation format differences to
make your database applications really portable, but it also manages
your database schemas so you don't have to write database specific SQL
scripts to create tables and other database objects.
All you need to do is to specify a schema in a database independent
format based on XML and Metabase creates any tables, fields, indexes,
sequences for you.
Metabase is Open Source and you may find it here:

No DB abstraction layer, including MetaBase offers true database
abstraction. No layer will make stored procedures portable. No layer
will make your fancy Oracle DECODE() query portable. No layer will
magically make your MS-SQL triggers work anywhere else.
For any moderately complex database work, you are going to have to write
database-specific code and if you are doing that you might as well cut out
the middle-man and use the faster direct DB calls.
My standard approach is to do functionality abstraction. Stuff like,
get_user_record(), update_scores(), etc. Implement these functions for
each database you wish to support and stick them in separate include
files. Then include the appropriate set based on a config setting so the
user can switch the app between the supported databases.

If you intentionally use database specific resources that can't be
mapped to any other database, obviously your applications will never be
portable no matter what.

This is not true. You do not have to write database specific code for
complex database work.
Have you ever heard of Siebel? Yes, the CRM (and other things) suite,
probably the best in the market. FYI, it does not use any things like
stored procedures or triggers. All the business logic is handled off the
database server.

Nobody stops you from doing that with any underlying database
abstraction . The problem if that if you are going to write your data
layer functions in a middle to large size application and optimize them
for each database, your will take an absurd amount of time that it is
not realistic to wait for and your projects obviously will fail missing
any acceptable deadlines.
In the real world, data type abstraction like Metabase and JDBC do, or
auto-incremented sequence abstraction like Metabase does and JDBC
doesn't are highly desirable features by many developers in database
abstraction layers that really speed up their work with acceptable
performance compromises.
Either Metabase or JDBC let you use database specific SQL but then it is
up to you handle portability in your application. As a matter of fact,
people that want to take the absolute best of database applications, do
not use SQL at all, they use flat file databases, like many search
engines do. So, whoever resorts to SQL is already assuming some
performance compromises.

The problem is NOT the list, but the services like marc that archive the
lists activities... this means your email address sits there in plain view
on MANY web pages for bots to find.
Best advice is to post strictly to the newsgroup with a dud email address,
or use a specific email address for your activities on the PHP list, and
filter out anything to that address which doesn't have [PHP] in the subject
line, which is what I plan to do soon.
Using 'nospam' in your address' prolly doesn't help as much as it used to,
because it's common practice these days, hence spiders probably attempt to
parse it out.
Your spam may be originating from somewhere entirely different from the PHP
list... if your address is on ANY web page accessed via GET (URL, not POST),
it's within reach of the spiders...
Fun huh?

Justin,

Unfortunately, that doesn't work. I had a hotmail address, but not acceptable. Someone
did not put it on the "accepted' list. Someone back there needs to accept that address
to allow that poster to post when using news://news.php.net/php.general. Been through
that. That's what I want to do now. Who is he? I would like to work something out with
him.

This probably breaks the rules of the forum in that it's not really a PHP question but
I thought it might cause some amusement.
I heard a discussion on the radio last night which mentioned the new 'sport' of
extreme ironing! Sure enough they've got a web site at www.extremeironing.com
It's not a bad looking web site and, needless to say, is done with PHP :-)

Hello,
As far as I've seen from your requirements, you are searching for a platform

Krysalis does exactly this, allows you to define a sitemap to associate XSL

approach.

Hi All,
I'm really just looking for some advice!
I am looking to build a website which users will be able to logon and have a
template based website generated for them, the output will have to be HTML
so that these sites can be indexed by search engines, it will also have to
change Apache conf files and DNS records.
Perhaps someone knows of a similar open source project or could point me in
the right direction.
My idea is to create the site using PHP, making use of a number of different
templates which will be PHP pages that have the same includes i.e
Navigation, Header, Footer, Content etc. Once the pages have been generated
(view source) all you have is the HTML, this is what I would like to
achieve, but I'm unsure how to pass the pages to give me only HTML from the
databases.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

I was using a redirect using $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] from the previous page (a
login for a site) and it didn't include this from the url: ?aid=12.
shouldn't it? It caused a SQL error. (which I have included a catch for so
the error will be friendly)
instead of the variable to be: /co2_busters_mk2/full_article.php I want it
to be: /co2_busters_mk2/full_article.php?aid=12. (like it would appear in
the address bar).
is it sposed to be like that or is it a bug? Also what is the best way to
include all get data in the url?

It is supposed to be like that...the PHP_SELF points to this file, and the
filename has no arguments, thus the PHP_SELF variable don't have them
either.
You will have to use the $_GET array for the "aid=12" part.

yeh, I figured that. But is there some easy way to print *all* of the get
data parsed? (In this case, the variable names, number of vars etc varies
alot. And this has rissen from a bug in a 250kb+ source plus project.
I am wondering if there is a smart way. or do I have to examine the $_GET
array for all vars and pass them on manually?

Ah, I didn't understand your question (my mistake). Answer to your question
(I hope): there is a smart way: $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']

Morning!
I'm having quite a dumb problem with PHP... It's probably more a result
of brain freeze than anything else, but if anyone could help it'd be
very much appreciated.
Basically, I need to include() the contents of a variable. Saving the
contents to a temporary file and then using include() would be
inconvenient.
What I mean is that I need PHP to display the contents of a variable,
parsing it as if it's in HTML mode - ie the variable could contain:
<p>Some text here.</p>
<?php print("<p>Some more text.</p>"); ?>
<p>The last bit of text.</p>
... and the output would be:
<p>Some text here.</p>
<p>Some more text.</p>
<p>The last bit of text.</p>
What the best way of doing this?
Cheers in anticipation!

Try using eval (http://www.php.net/eval),
You could also write the contents to a file generated in a tempfile.
Generate the filename with tempnam (http://www.php.net/tempnam), open it,
fill it with the contents of the variable, close it, include it and delete
it (with unlink, http://www.php.net/unlink).

Hi,
I want to make some people download files the server tar's on demand.
But i don't know really how to send the files back to the browser.
I used the following command for taring the file:
<?
$command = 'tar -c '.$arrResult['name'].'.tgz ../images/'.$arrResult['image'];
system($command);
?>
This command starts taring, I think, but fills the browser window with the pure code
of the tar file I belive. How can I make it behave different. When I search for the
tar on the webserver I can't find it anywhere.
Please Help

You have to send the appropriate headers to the browser, or PHP will send
the default (text/plain) header. For a tar file the correct header is
application/x-tar, send it with
Header( 'Content-Type: application/x-tar' );

Now I tried to use your script:
$_REQUEST['image'] is =
'../images/2002/09/jpg/ls006022_pettersson_johan.jpg';
<?
Header('Content-Type: application/x-gzip');
$command = 'tar -cf - ../images/' . $_REQUEST['image'] . ' | gzip -cf';
system( $command );
?>
It opens the download dialog again and lets me download the archive, but
it's named
download.gz (How can I change it to ls006022_pettersson_johan.gz?)
And if I open it with winrar it says, the content is named 'download' Size
is about
1600000 bytes, seems to be correct. when I try to extract the files there
pops up
an error message which says: Unexpected end of archive.
Have you got a sollution on that?

Add another header (another one???) ;-))
Header( 'Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename=ls006022_pettersson_johan.gz' );

Yes...my mistake, use passthru( $command ) instead of system( $command )

Seems to work not that bad, but I got another Question.
Why isn't there anything in the archive?
This is my code yet:
<?
Header('Content-Type: application/x-tar');
Header("Content-disposition: attachment;
filename=".$_REQUEST['name'].".tar");
$command = 'tar -cf - ../images/' . $_REQUEST['image'];
passthru($command);
?>
I did put away the gzip routine couse I find it a little nerving if i always
have to open
two files ;)
The source pictures size is 406 KB, the download is about 340 KB in size,
isn't it wrong a bit?
Greetings
Sascha
PS.: Isn't it wrong, when I write greetings in english? Sounds so german,
what could i write else? Thank you very much.

It works in here (just tested it), I don't know why it's empty (don't stop

Nothing wrong with this...
By the way, make sure there is no newline in the second Header:
Header("Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename=".$_REQUEST['name'].".tar");
I don't know if the mailingprogram breaks this line, but it's one line (just
in case).

That's wrong...tar doesn't compress...a tar archive does have a small
footprint (about 1k-2k with one file), so the tar file should ALWAYS be
bigger than the source file(s)...
Hmmmm...thinking about this...I'm sure you would like compression instead of
archiving. Use gzip only instead of tar:
- Set the header back to application/x-gzip
- Change the command to gzip -c <filename>
I'm very curious if you get any (correct) output then...

Try "Greets" or "Thanks in advance" ;-))
Greetings sounds (to me) more like what you say at the start of a
conversation.

Ok, somebody told me, the archive contains the Image, only winrar seems not
to show the image, grrr.
I tried the gzip method and it did not work that fine for me.

Hi all,
I need to write an application that accepts a list of URLs and checks them
on a daily basis (via cron) to see if the pages have changed in the past day.
I need some help with this. Does anyone know the most optimal way to find
out when a particular Web page has been modified? I am thinking about using
the Last-Modified: HTTP header - however, all servers do not return this
header - any ideas on what the fallback should be?
TIA,
Vikram

Well then...try to fetch the page's size and compare with last time, if
changes then regrab the page.

You could cache/save the actual contents of the file, then when you read
it next time, compare it to what you saved and see if it changed. You
may want to filter out everything but what's between <body> and </body>,
so you're not thinking it changed just b/c of something in the
headers...

Same with sites that have negligible daily changes (like today's date
dynamically inserted), or random changes (a random quote, tip, stock quote,
product, image, etc etc would all screw that up).

Ken,
You question is not too clear, but I will try to help. You want the form
element to reflect the value of $cost?
<td><input value=<?php print($cost); ?> name="txtSubTotalAmount" size="40"
readonly></td>
I apologize if this is not what you are asking.

Well now we have gone too far! :^] In the original post the variable was
$cost. But let's not forget addslashes() or stripslashes(), unless, of
course, magicquotes is on, and then if register_globals is off then;
<input name="cliemail" type="text" size="48" value="<?echo
htmlspecialchars($_POST['clil']); ?>"
readonly>
or
<input name="cliemail" type="text" size="48" value="<?echo
htmlspecialchars($_GET['clil']); ?>"
readonly>

Have installed PHP v4 on IIS 5 server, all the connectivity works fine as
for the sending but the main text variables will not come through. I think
there must be a setting I have missed somewhere? I have checked the
permissions and are set ok for the IGA can anyone help?
Thanks in advance

Yes in Flash 5, basic variables for the input text fields and the correct
script in the .php file, I just don't know what it could be at the moment.

I'd start by making sure you can get a standard HTML for to POST to a PHP
script, rather than making issues complex with Flash.
If that works, then you know it's not an issue with the installation, in
theory.

You could always use the GD image library to create an image and use
javascript to send back the coordinates of the mouse click. From the mouse
click, the javascript variables would be sent back to the server to
interpret and check for correctness.
This way they can't look at the code to find where "waldo" is at. Not sure
how easy this would be but HTH.

Hey Julien!
Thanx for the code! Your posting from yesterday helped me out. Actually I
was on the right path all along but hadn't activated the GD-extension in my
php.ini and so I just got errors and grew _pretty_ annoyed by it. Then after
I got your message from yesterday giving med the same errors I realized that
there were somethin' cookin'. After activating the GD-extension and
restarted Apache your snippet worked fine and eventually mine too.
Thanx again for your effort, it would have been better though if we all had
sent this to the newsgroup. More people would have had a chance to see it
there...
Have fun

Kjell

I know your real problem has been solved, but this might save you from wasting time
inspecting the wrong line of code one day:
> There isn't even a line 3 in the script:
Errr...
1 <?php
2 var_dump($argv);
3 var_dump($GLOBALS);
4 ?>
The error you got is because the $GLOBALS array is itself global, so contains a
reference to itself, which could cause infinite looping if PHP didn't detect it and
throw that error!
Incidentally, both var_dump() and print_r() output useful information about what's in
a variable, but in both cases the output is formatted using regular newlines and
spaces, with no HTML layout, so for large arrays such as $GLOBALS it's best to do
something like:
echo "<pre>";
print_r($GLOBALS);
echo "</pre>";
The output from this is actually formatted rather nicely, and is quite easy to read
(and can be very informative!).
Cheers!

Hi all,
I am new here and I would be really happy if someone could have a look =
on the following question:
I have a question concerning a connection with a LDAP server via SSL.
What I=B4ve found is:
To use ldap_connect to connect via SSL to your LDAP server, you must use
the following:
ldap_connect( "ldaps://server.domain.com/", 636 );
"server.domain.com" must be the exact name of the server your issued
your certificate to (with OpenLDAP, using openssl).
My question here is if it is possible to use this ldap connection with
any LDAP server ( not only an OpenLDAP one ), I have been searching for =
information but I have not found anything.
Thanks a lot in advance for your help.
Juan

Y'know? I started fiddling with the drill-down I had
made and found that the thing only worked on the
latest Mozilla. Seems the developers made the same
mistake I did in what <input type="image" ...> is
supposed to do. Looks great on one browser :-)
I wound up with another alternative: a folder view
with "wayback's" to ascend in the tree. The code that
works better on all browsers can be seen on
http://www.jwfarrell.com/listtree.php. I'll make the
code and support files available to anyone who wants a
copy. Apologies for the pretty (but ineffectual)
version 1.
