Hello !
I'm in a mess. Please help me.
Every time I tried to write with fwrite or fputs in a file, I get an error
on windows nt sp6 , ie6 from "Doc. Watson" saying that Apache.exe makes an
application access error .
Filesystem functions: is_readable, is_writable,fopen,fclose are ok . I can
create, find,open the file.
versions: PHP 4.2.3, APACHE 1.3
httpd.conf :
Alias /test/ "C:/Apache/htdocs/test/"
<Directory "C:/Apache/htdocs/test">
Options Indexes MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
----------
example1:
// start buffering the output
ob_start();
$filename = "c:\\apache\\htdocs\\test\files\\mifile.txt";
// output format - either "www" or "file"
$output = "file";
// print some output
print "Welcome to the Matrix, Neo";
// now decide what to do with the buffered output
if ($output == "www")
{
// either print the contents of the buffer...
ob_end_flush();
}
else
{
// ... or write it to a file
$data = ob_get_contents();
chmod ($filename, 0777);
$fp = fopen ($filename, "wb+");
//ERROR IS HERE
fwrite($fp, $data);
fclose($fp);
ob_end_clean();
}
example 2:
//I tried each of the following 5 $filename assignments.
//$filename = "c:\\apache\\htdocs\\mcm\\mifile.txt";
//$filename = "/mifile.txt";
//$filename = "mifile.txt";
//$filename = "c:\\tmp\\mifile.txt";
$filename = "c:\\apache\\htdocs\\test\files\\mifile.txt";
$somecontent = "Add this to the file\n";
$fp = fopen($filename,"wb");
//NOTHING IS DISPLAYED
echo "<br>this is fgets " .fgets ( $fp );
// Write $somecontent to our opened file.
//ERROR IS HERE
if (!fwrite($fp, $somecontent)) {
print "Cannot write to file ($filename)";
exit;
}
fclose($fp);

Whenever you get a segfault, try the latest
stable release and during compile be sure to
use --enable-debug
:
http://snaps.php.net/
If the segfault exists here, write a bug report
and include the backtrace:
http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php
http://bugs.php.net/
This will be of great help to the php-dev team. Also
I believe many changes to the Java extension went
into 4.3.0 so maybe it'll work for you.

Philip

Philip,
Thanks. I did submit a bug report and also compiled with debug. That's
where the backtrace captured in my email came from. If you'd like to veiw
the bug report, it can be found at: http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=21881
I'll try 4.3.0 and see what happens. I was holding back because I use the
Zend Debug Server, and it doesn't support 4.3.0 just yet. But, it will
soo, so might as well.
Thanks!
John

Well, I don't think this has anything to do with predefined variables being
global or not because I only have use for them within the specific methods.
The methods will capture their values and assign them to a variable inside
the function, which will return that variable at the end. The processing of
$PHP_SELF and $DOCUMENT_ROOT only happens in one place. I might be wrong,
not sure. But right now all I know is that I am confused and the link you
sent me didn't help explain what I need to know because it states no mention
of predefined variables. Can you perhaps give me an example of what you are
trying to tell me?
I read about variable scope and it says nothing about predefined variables.
So how will using the $_SERVER associate array help me with this? Remember
that globals is on, so I don't need to use $_SERVER, $_POST, $_GET, etc. to
get my values. But, in the meantime I'll go ahead and try using the
associate autoglobal arrays anyway, like $_SERVER, just to test it and to
see if it works for me. And if it does, it'll bug me until I find out why it
works. Thanks your input Philip. If anyone else has any thoughts or
explainations for me to understad this then that would be great.

Predefined or not, it's still a variable. If you want a variable inside
of your function to have the value of a variable outside of your
function, then you have to make it global. $PHP_SELF inside of your
function has no value because it's relative to the function, not the
script. Just like $a inside of a function wouldn't have a value unless
you assigned one to it. Using "global $PHP_SELF" at the beginning of
your function (or method, same thing) will now make the variable
$PHP_SELF have the same value as it does outside of your function.

$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] will always work, regardless of variable scope or
register_globals setting. The $_SERVER array is a superglobal, so it'll
have the same value inside your method or outside of it, without you
having to do anything special.
Hope that helps.

John,
YES! That's what I was looking for. Thanks for the explaination. It helps a
great deal. I had $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] work for me. But I'm still
struggling with $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'], because it's not returning anything.
So here's the second part to my question stated earlier. Let's say, for
example, I had a class included in someFile.php. The included class looks
like the class below:
<?php
class someClass {
function someFunction () {
$root = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];
return $root;
}
function someFunction2 () {
$path = $this->someFunction() . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
return $path;
}
}
?>
Shouldn't the value of $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] contain the path of someFile.php
and not the path of the class file which was included in someFile.php? Or
what should this value be? I want the $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] value to be
/path/someFile.php, or the value of whatever page included this class file
and called the methods of the class. How would I do that? Because right now
it returns a blank string.

Nevermind John, it worked! I had $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] spelled as
$SERVER['PHP_SELF']. I appreciate your help! :P

configurable for sending personalized mail, and majordomo requires
sendmail, (i would prefer to use qmail), i know about patches to be done
so it works with qmail, but i dont consider them really clean.
What would you guys suggest ?? should i jump into majordomo - sendmail,
or do you know something else that might be a better solution.
That number of messages is small and with today's servers you can queue
that volume of personalized is less than a minute. Your problems will
start as you enter in the tens of thousands of recipients, not because
qmail won't handle it but because that many message in the queue will
prevent the incoming messages to arrive in time.
Anyway, for that volume of messages you may want to try this class that
comes with an example of how to send personalized messages to many
users. For larger volumes of recipients you can still use the same class
but it will take much more time, so to not choke the mail queue, you
would better send the messages during a few minutes and then rest for
about 3 times the same period before you resume sending for a few
minutes more.
For greater efficiency, if possible do not personalize the message body
so you can hint the class to cache it so it does not waste time
regenerating the message body for each recipient.

There are two separate processes here - the outgoing connections to the
remote SMTP servers and the incoming connections to your own SMTP servers.
Tuning qmail involves setting the number of outgoing queues so as not to
overload your communications line.
I _personally_ have sent more than 300,000 messages with no "resting"
mechanism - doing that means you haven't tuned your qmail system for the
load.

The problem does not have to do with SMTP but with qmail local queue
handling. If you send messages to many users and the bounce address is
set to some address handled by the same server, you will be starting to
get bounces to the same machine and thus the same qmail server. The way
to solve this is to put the bounce address point to some address that is
handled by a different server or even to nowhere. Using a spare server
for the actual delivery reduces that problem too.

It has everything to do with qmail local queue handling.
I have had no problems when both the VERP address and sending machine are
the same, providing I tune the qmail queues to a reasonable number. VERP is
very useful to handle bounces, no separate machines are required, you just
have to think about your bandwidth.
The way to solve this is use your intelligence. A stop/start sceme as you
originally proposed is a kludge at best to an easily managable problem.

I don't think you are getting the point of stop/start. If you flood the
delivery queue with 300,000, no more incoming and outgoing mail will be
handled until all the delivery to all recipients that you queued are
handled. That may take hours depending on how hard is to deliver to all
recipients.
If you have a dedicated server for the bulk delivery, that may not be a
problem for, but if you have other types of messages coming and going of
the same server, everything will be stalled.
BTW, if you are personalizing the messages, there is no need to user
VERP because you are already sending the messages separately and so you
may as well personalize the return path address.

Anyway, the problem of personalizing messages is that makes your
mailings take much longer to generate and queue because you need to
create separate message for each recipient.
I'm weighing down personalization and enveloping for this project, and
probably going for the personalization of each email. This rules out BCC and
enveloping with SMTP.
I always advise people to not bother personalizing messages for silly
purposes like starting messages like this:
Dear <SPAM-VICTIM-NAME-HERE>,
The problem is that this is now a pattern of spam that people are so
much used to it that they no longer can be fooled into believing that
the messages was really written by a human being to them and not some
spam script.
It was told that spam detection programs like SpamAssassin give extra
spam points to messages that have phrases like that.
OTOH, there are more reasonable motives to personalize messages like the
silly decision of Hotmail to have default spam filter rule to reject
messages that do not have a visible To: or Cc: header with the recipient
address of the Hotmail account.
The decision is silly because it makes it consider most real opt-in
mailing lists like this one, php-general, as spam, which is obviously a
big mistake.
Anyway, since most Hotmail users with that filtering rule on are not
aware, it makes sense to personalize just the To: header with each
recipient address. You do not have to personalize the body though. So, I
have just added an option to cache the message body between deliveries
of the same message to different recipies using this MIME message
composing and sending class. See the personalized bulk mail example for
more details:
http://www.phpclassses.org/mimemessage
and run it every hour.
With qmail you do not have to run the queue like sendmail. You just
inject the messages and it will deliver them when possible.
If it delivers when possible, won't the server flake if it get's 100,000
emails inject into Qmail? If I was to use your class and loop through
100,000 emails into Qmail, will Qmail attempt all at once?
No, qmail only attempts to send upto a limited number of messages
simultaneously which defaults to 20, but if you have good link you can
raise it upto 120. Raising it further will not work unless you apply a
patch to qmail.
Anyway, the down side of injecting that many messages in qmail queue,
either separately or a single message with Bcc:, is that it will choke
the incoming message reception because the SMTP server delivers the
messages to the local queue too.
There are 2 solutions for this: if you have a spare server machine, use
it as relay and configure qmail control value smtproutes pointing to the
spare server that will do the actual delivery. If you do not have a
spare server, you need to just inject a few messages at a time and rest
for a period of time that is enough to let the messages already inthe
queue be flushed. Even with a spare server, it is a good idea to rest
after delivering a few hundred messages.
In that case, you may consider QMQP relay which is a protocol that lets
you rely entire mail queues from a server to another. This is
recommended when you have many busy mailing lists served from one
machine and you can use more servers do the actual delivery. I think
only qmail and ezmlm support QMQP.
Thanks, I'll check QMQP as well.
If you really want personalization, QMQP is not really useful because it
is meant to shift queues of single messages to many recipients.
Personalization turns it into many messages to distinct recipients.
The greatest problem that made me learn some hard lessons is that it is
very problematic if you start with subscribers list that are not clean
up of no longer valid users. Once you start delivering messages to those
addresses, you get a flood of bounces that pratically stop your server
queue.
The MTV newsletter was weekly, but that affected the newsletters of
other sites that were stopped during the MTV newsletter bounces. Since
ezmlm does not unsubscribe bouncing addresses right away, the solution
was to remove bouncing subscribers using an external validation
procedure. I used this other class for the cleanup. After that it was a
breeze. We had peaks of 10,000 messages sent per minute.
http://www.phpclasses.org/emailvalidation
We had a 72K list with about 6K bad emails that Mailman didn't unsubscribe
until we used MojoMail which unsubscribes them from the database instantly
as well as perform validations. Now, blasts are handled alot quicker.
That is not a good idea either because you are delisting people that are
temporarily bouncing as if their addresses are permanently invalid which
is not the case.
So far, you have given me a good case to use Qmail and using your PHP class
as a foundation for this application. . . I'll have to check the other
software recommendations you made and see how'd I incorporate this into the
application.
BTW, isn't there any overhead associating with opening/closing a connection
to inject each email into Qmail? Or it's very minimal overhead to even worry
about? If 100,000 was looped and injected into Qmail, is Qmail fast enough
that 100,000 emails are not just sitting on the server filling up disk
space?
Queueing is fast because you are just calling a local program. Unless
you are using a spare server for relay, the greatest problem are those
addresses that while they are not invalid nor reject messages, they are
hard to deliver like those on servers with slow links or those that
intentionally put delays that take many tens of seconds to accept the
message to make it harder for spammers.

I have a quirky problem that should be a breeze for someone who is smarter
than I.
I have a script where I am registering a HTML form post variable as a
session variable and then echo it. In the real script I use it in a MySQL
query, but for the sake of this post, here is the "script":
$user1 = $HTTP_POST_VARS["user1"];
session_register("user1");
echo $HTTP_SESSION_VARS["user1"];
This doesn't work, however, if I hit the refresh button the var miraculously
appears!
What am I doing wrong?
--- End Message ---
--- Begin Message ---
This variable is registered in the Session, and the variable isn't active
until the page refreshes. It's hard to explain. I thought I would try.
There are some things you can do. If you need the variable right away, you
can do this:
if (isset($HTTP_SESSION_VARS["user1"])) {
$user1 = $HTTP_SESSION_VARS["user1"];
}
else {
$user1 = $HTTP_POST_VARS["user1"];
}
echo $user1;
Hope that helps. This is natural for sessions, but I have been in the
situation where I needed the session variable right away, instead of the
script's next activation.

Hi, I am creating a bilingual website (Dutch and English) and I wonder how
I would best detect the human language of a visitor. I am attempting
several things, but I am sure there must be a generally accepted
alternative. Can anyone point me to more info?
I am tinkering around with HTTP_REFERER and HTTP_USER_AGENT and a bit in
JavaScript which only works with Netscape browsers. But detection usually
fails. I was wondering, my server provides a REMOTE_ADDR value, but not a
REMOTE_HOST. From the last I could look voor a ".nl" extention. Is there a
way to (inline) translate a IP address to something readable? It's a remote
server on which I can't control the settings.
Why is this so difficult? It should be a basic feature of any
international software... or am I missing something?
Thanks, Marco

Hi Marco.
Try the HTTP_USER_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE variable. It simply detects the
language of the visitors browser. It wouldnt work for my cause i use an
english version of Mozilla (i am dutch too), although 90% of the dutch
visitors probably uses MSIE in dutch eh;-)

[Uploading Now .. please standby] that would refresh to a result page once

One thing you might consider is using flush() to output
what you have so far to the browser rather than sending
them to another page when you're done. An example of
something to output might be:
<p>This might take a while...</p>
<?
flush()
do_hard_stuff();
?>
<p>Finished!</p>
If you are using output buffering, you'll have to flush
that, too. If your Web server is doing any kind of
buffering, it might not work at all.

Hello Lee :)
Well, there is one way that I know of that some people might overlook. What
you can do is use CSS positioning and set the "Uploading Now" message
(Whether it's text, an image, a flash file, etc.) BEHIND the result page by
setting the z-index value of the "Uploading Now" message to a lower number
than the z-index of the result page.
So what happens in this case is that the user will see the "Uploading Now"
message until the other page or image loads, which will automatically load
on top of the message, therefore hiding it once it's loaded. This works
great with images especially. You may need to use some positioning
creativity to do the same with the html pages, as you have to find a way to
be able to hide the transition message (by another image, a colored table,
or just about anything else.
The good thing about this method is that you never need to create an extra
file just to display the message. You can use it in the same file. Or if you
have to use it on many pages, just include it from an include file or a
function or something. Lots of room for creativity here.
Anyway, that's how I would do it. I'm sure there are many other great ways.
But there's my input. Hope it helps you a little.

The problem I'm having is that the uploading of the file takes time, and the
screen simply sits there while this is being done .. I don't know if there
is a way around that. Flush would be fine if it could be done before the
upload started; problem is, hitting submit starts the upload process which
waits until it's done before receiving instructions included in the upload
processing script.

Beogradjanin,
In addition to Philip's links, don't forget that PHP works great with the
MySQL database. If you plan to use MySQL, then go to the following for great
tutorials:
http://www.mysql.com
Remember, PHP can be as creative as you want to be. If you need any help
with anything else, please feel free to come here and ask again.
P.S. -- Philip, thanks for helping out the newbies.
PHP will continue to grow better and bolder thanks to you and others.

Hi,
i installed php-4.3.0 on apache 2.0.34. but whenever i try to display a php
script i got a
PHP Fatal error: Nesting level too deep - recursive dependency? in Unknown
on line 0
Even the simplest document leads to this error:
index.php
<?php header("LOCATION: ../login.php"); ?>
i know these scripts worked fine with php-4.3.2
today i updated to apache 2.0.44, but i found no changes for this problem.
Does anybody know, what the problem is?
Thx,

I've installed PHP and Apache countless times but it seems I have
forgotten something somehow because I can't for the life of me get
apache to install PHP as a static module. Argh ...!
I'm trying to get PHP 4.3.0, Apache 1.3.27, openssl-0.9.7,
mod_ssl-2.8.12-1.3.27 all working together but to no avail. The best I
can get is a mod_ssl aware apache server, but no PHP.
These are the steps I am following. Can anyone spot my error?
# cd openssl-0.9.7
# ./config -no-thread
# cd ..
# cd mod_ssl-2.8.12-1.3.27/
# ./configure --with-apache=../apache_1.3.27/
# cd ../apache_1.3.27/
# ./configure
# cd ../php-4.3.0/
# ./configure --with-pgsql=/usr/local/psql/ --without-mysql
--with-apache=../apache_1.3.27/ --enable-mbstring
--enable-mbstr-enc-trans --enable-mbregex
# make && make install
# cd ../apache_1.3.27/
# SSL_BASE=../openssl-0.9.7 ./configure --with-pgsql=/usr/local/pgsql/
--without-mysql --prefix=/www
--activate-module=src/modules/php4/libphp4.a --enable=module=ssl
# make
# make install
I add the following line to httpd.conf and start apache:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
But when I try and load a .php page I get a "Save File" dialog ...
What step did I miss or where did I do something wrong?
Thanks!

Hello there.
Basically I'm trying to make a file manager with PHP.
Here's what I need to do
Ok I have artists and coders working for my site
No FTP
I want them to be able to upload/download files from me as and when they
please without having to email me the files
The files that will be uploaded and downloaded are with these
extentions
.htm
.html
.php
.phps
.jpg
.gif
.swf
I can scrape together the upload bit, but the download bit just runs the
file rather than brings up the download feature of the web browser. How can I
make it download it?
TIA!

Search the archives > "download files".

You on MySQL?
If so do this
UPDATE tblName SET firstcol = '$var41stcol', $secondcol = '$var42ndcol'
and so on

Steve!
Could you be more specific and send some code you are using (even if it doesn't
work). It may give some insight as to your specific need.
That said, as far as I can tell, what you are trying to accomplish is this:
$sql = "UPDATE tablename SET 1column = '$newvariable' WHERE 1column =
'$oldvariable'";
This will effectively update any number of rows that match the criteria.
Maybe you are trying to update rows where 1column values don't match? If so,
you may need to run multiple queries.
It's late and I'm guessing. Good Luck!

It can be done with ASP and JSP. ROFLMFAO! No it shouldn't be reported to
their bugs database! It's not a bug! It just isn't a feature of PHP! You
could suggest it to them though...

I am attempting to create an extension to php.. The only problem is, whenever
I run buildconf after creating a skeletion with
./ext_skel --extname=my_module
I receive the following output from buildconf
./buildconf
using default Zend directory
buildconf: checking installation...
buildconf: autoconf version 2.13 (ok)
buildconf: automake version 1.4-p5 (ok)
buildconf: libtool version 1.4.2 (ok)
rebuilding configure

Then, when I run ./configure I receive a syntax error part way through.. My
autoconf was 2.53 and got upgraded to 2.57 in case that was the problem...
help!
Josh.
