Well PHP isn't compiled it's interpreted.  Still I don't see much diff 
and no overhead between the following:


#ifdef(debug)
//debugging code
#endif

---and---

if (defined('DEBUG')) {
//debugging code

I don't think checking a define is cpu intensive or even measurable. 
You could "assume" that it's defined as true or false and:


if (DEBUG === true)) {
//debugging code
}

Still, I don't think that even checking $debug is measurable.


That depends on where the conditional exists. In C you can place it
anywhere, including wihtin a tight loop. In PHP you end up having to
either take an overhead penalty or duplicate code to force the
conditional outside of a tight loop.

Contrast the following:

Now depending on what "Do something common between DEBUG and !DEBUG

I think according to PHP manual. Session_start() must be the first line in

Re: [PHP] Sessions - Failed to initialize storage...

[Bojan Tesanovic]

Hm , this issue has been reported
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=25876 and http://bugs.php.net/bug.php? 
id=32330


and it occurs sporadically for some users
though most of them said that setting

so 2 steps
1. make sure that on prod server .htaccess is actually read , as you

2. /tmp is writable

Apache isn't getting nearly exercised enough to need a second child,

I believe:

curl_setopt(CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$result = curl_exec($ch);

...will send the output from cURL to the variable rather than the web

Although, since you have no control over the actual search page to edit the
code and have it pull in the $_GET[''] values you will probably have to
disect the search page to get its form elements so you can feed them to it
and force a submit.

I just looked at your site, and after I input my search criteria and click
submit I have to again enter in the search criteria and submit to actually
get some results.

http://beta.menashalibrary.org/sites/beta.menashalibrary.org/themes/salamander/searchframe.html


Is POST the only way to get the search results, or will it work  
with a GET?


If GET will work then you need to set the search form to post to a  
script on your site which then outputs a frameset with a URL on  
your server that shows the header, and the URL for the shared  
search server with all the POSTed variables as GET parameters as  
the second frame. Job done.


GET should work too. Do you know of any examples anywhere online for  
this? My brain shuts off at the thought of how I'd do that.


Off the top of my head and very untested...

 $v)
  {
$vars[] = urlencode($k).'='.urlencode($v);
  }
  $searchurl = 'http://search.server.com/search.php?'.implode('&',  
$vars);

?>

  
  


Modify to your own frameset/url requirements but that's the basic idea.

Easiest solution - Open the search page in a new window. Then they can just
close it to get back to the previous window...

I now understand what you're trying to say in regards to the frames.

The top frame resides completely on your server so you can place a "Go back
to homepage" link to direct people back to YOUR libraries homepage. And the
bottom frame contains the search results page that you have no control over
and cannot alter to simply place a "Home" link on it. And that should remain
since the global search results page is accessed by multiple libraries.

Like I said above, the easiest thing to do is just open it in a seperate
window so they can close it at any time and still be at the same place on
your libraries website.

If not then you're going to need to play silly wotsits with a hidden

In that case, I would not use frames at all.  I believe in the top frame all
you wanted to store was the search text, right?

Just have your search link do something like this:










SEARCH




And then on
http://beta.menashalibrary.org/sites/beta.menashalibrary.org/themes/salamander/searchframe.html
just
assign your posted search value and make a hidden form field.

RE: [PHP] Re: Passing variable to a page in a frameset

[Warren Vail]

Probably something I don't understand about your implementation, but the
form parameter will allow a target parameter, and if the frameset contains a
frame that is named (even one different from the one that contains the
search form), the results should be placed in the "target" frame.  Without a
target, if the form is outside the frameset, it will replace the entire
frameset, exactly what you describe.

Have you tried:

it's a start.

RE: [PHP] How to submit form via PHP

[Warren Vail]

Key to this one may be understanding what is being asked.  I think pe.ve.ce
performed a file read (file_get_contents) on the form from another website
and wants to be able to simulate a browser submit from his code.

If this is correct, I would recommend you take a look at CURL.  There are
probably several approaches that work, but as I understand that CURL is an
implementation of the C libraries used by early browsers.  If that is not
correct, someone here will set us straight.  Many ISP's won't support CURL,
because it is often used for questionable activities and considered a
security exposure, but I believe CURL is what you want.

[PHP] Buffering problem

[Anders Norrbring]

I'm trying to make php output things sequentially as they're
printed/echoed.. No luck. It's buffered to the end of the script, and then
it comes on to screen.
This is while running Apache2, in a cli session it works fine.

The script does *not* have any buffering commands at all.
The web server does not have mod_gzip installed.

I'm running out of ideas to where to look for this, so can you please give
me some pointers?

Anders.

mainFrame should not be the name of your frameset.  Say I have a frameset
with three sections. Top, Left, and Right...you will actually have 4 pages.

Frameset.php //The top level of the frameset that doesn't do much more than
assign the Frame names and pages associated with them
TopSection.php //Anything on this page will be displayed in your top frame
LeftSection.php // Anything on this page will be displayed in your left
frame
RightSection.php //Anything on this page will be displayed in your right
frame

In order to see the names assigned to your different frames you need to open
Frameset.php and look for them.

It will look something like this:


  
  
  


You should never need to reference Framset.php directly.

Say I wanted to pass a value from TopSection.php to a text field in
LeftSection.php I would do this:

TopSection.php

 //The default value will be
blank but will change if someone enters in text.


//Now the persons submits the form and you want the search name to populate
to your other frame.
SEARCH

//The Javascript function this calls will pass the
document.search_form.search_name.value to the new form
function submitForm(name) {
 top.leftFrame.document.my_search.search_name.value = name;
 document.search_form.submit();
}
//top goes to the highest level of your frameset, leftFrame is the frame
name specified for LeftSection.php on your Frameset.php page,
document.my_search is the name of your form in
//LeftSection.php, search_name is the name of your text field within the
form in LeftSection.php

//Your TopSection.php form has now passed the search_name value to the
LeftSection.php page

LeftSection.php




That should be enough to get you going.  If you have any further questions
lets take this "Off List" since it does not relate to PHP.

It looks like you haven't adapted the example I gave you to conform

top.mainFrame.document.my_search.text1.value = var1;

The frame you are populating may not be named mainFrame
The form in your destination frame may not be named my_search
The input in you destination frame may not be text1

You have to modify these areas to suit your application and add or  
remove more as needed.


So, I had this all wrong before. Basically, I need two forms, right?  
One on my originating page, and one on the page within the frameset I  
want to pass the values to. Correct?


My form, which I named my_search has one input field, which I named  
query. In the javascript, I put in this:



function submitForm(var1,var2) {
 top.mainFrame.document.my_search.query.value = var1;
 top.mainFrame.document.my_search.submit();
 document.search_form.submit();
}


In the framset named mainFrame, I have a page which matches the form  
on the originating page.


Am I on the right track? When I click on the search link, nothing  
happens.

It looks like you haven't adapted the example I gave you to conform to your
page/form structure.

top.mainFrame.document.my_search.text1.value = var1;

The frame you are populating may not be named mainFrame
The form in your destination frame may not be named my_search
The input in you destination frame may not be text1

You have to modify these areas to suit your application and add or remove
more as needed.

There's nothing wrong with a Frame every once in a while!  Granted  
they

aren't used much anymore, but sometimes they can be useful!


I know, I know. I'm not a fan of frames either, and have never even  
thought of using them until now. The problem is, our library catalog  
is on a different server and provides results for a consortium of 30  
libraries. So, what we've been doing is including a search box for the  
catalog on web pages. Which works fine, but it's easy for people to  
get caught up in the catalog with no good way to get back to the site  
you came from. So, I created a frame page that has a small button in  
the top frame that takes you back to where you came from. So, the site  
itself isn't using frames, only when you search the catalog. Of  
course, that's if I can get it working...

frameset page in that code somewhere. Where does it go? And, which
part do I replace with the frame name on that frameset page?

Thank you for taking the time to help me with this, I really  
appreciate it!



Let's look at the code:

//var1 and var2 are the search criteria the user entered in your  
search form(You may have more or less)

function submitForm(var1,var2) {

//top.leftFrame is how you set the focus to the frame you want.   
leftFrame could be different on your system...whatever you named the  
frame.


//top.leftFrame.document.my_search.text1.value=var1 assumes the form  
name in the frame you want data in is named
//my_search and it givs the text object text1 the value of var1 from  
your search form

top.leftFrame.document.my_search.text1.value = var1;

//top.leftFrame.document.my_search.text2.value=var2 assumes the form  
name in the frame you want data in is named
//my_search and it givs the text object text1 the value of var2 from  
your search form

 top.leftFrame.document.my_search.text2.value = var2;

//top.leftFrame.document.my_search.submit() will submit the form in  
your target frame then you can use the $_POST values throughout the  
frame

 top.leftFrame.document.my_search.submit();

//document.search_form.submit() will submit your search page. I use  
this so I can reuse the $_POST values to display the search criteria  
after submit.

 document.search_form.submit();
}




In the  of my page, I have this:


function submitForm(var1,var2) {
 top.mainFrame.document.my_search.text1.value = var1;
 top.mainFrame.document.my_search.text2.value = var2;
 top.mainFrame.document.my_search.submit();
 document.search_form.submit();
}


Then, for the form code I have this:

http://webcat.winnefox.org/web2/tramp2.exe/do_keyword_search/guest 
" id="qpl">







	Find library books, music, movies and more...class="searchbartextfield" id="query" name="query" type="text">  	href 
= 
"javascript:submitForm 
(document 
.search_form.var1.value,document.search_form.var2.value)">SEARCHa> Advanced  
Search



If I type in a word in the search box http://beta.menashalibrary.org/about 
 and hit enter, it searches the catalog just fine, but then just  
replaces the current page with the search results. If I click on the  
SEARCH link with the javascript, it does nothing.


I want the results to go to this url: 
http://beta.menashalibrary.org/sites/beta.menashalibrary.org/themes/salamander/searchframe.html
in the frame name of mainFrame. I'm thinking that address needs to go  
in the javascript somewhere so it knows where to go, but where? Does  
the rest of the code look ok?


Thanks again for taking the time to help me with this.

again replacing the text just replaced as there are similar matches
afterwards. example (easier)

$string = "The new Intel Core 2 Duo T8300";

$patterns = array("/Intel Core 2 Duo/","/Intel Core 2/");

$replacements = array("/Intel Core 2 Duo Processor Technology/","/Intel Core
2 Processor Technology/");

I would expect to get the following:

The new Intel Core 2 Duo Processor Technology T8300

but i get 

The new Intel Core 2 Processor Technology Duo Processor Technology T8300

I can see why its doing it, reading the string in and making the replacement
but then reading the string in for the next pattern, but i don't want it to
do this. How do i stop preg_replace from reading in the same part of the
string that has been replaced already?

(it's a bad day! :( )

I believe frames and framesets are being phased out of XHTML altogether.
It's all about DIVs nowadays. I think there's an XHTML specification for
something like frames, but it's just as ugly.

I suppose if nobody else has better ideas you can fake it with setting
some sort of unique value and combining that with __FILE__ for your
instance run.



Not very glamorous though. ;)

I fail to see how this has anything to do with PHP.

Regardless, I think you could just import it as a text field if you're
wanting to save the entire sheet. I'm not sure that I understand the
scope of your question.

Do you want the elements separated into table columns, or do you just
want to store the XLS for later retrieval as a whole?

Don't think there is such a thing, but you could generate one by  
combining the pid, timestamp and the script filename, maybe into an  
md5 hash value or similar. Thinking about it, "ip.pid" would be  
enough, i.e. 127.0.0.1.12345.

Yep. He had been using the return value of array_splice(), which is just
the spliced elements--not the resulting array post-splice.

I'm logging things with error_log, and would like to be able to sort out one

So I'm looking for some kind of "script id" or "thread id" or "PHP script run

I agree, it is really messy to work with and prone to lots of complications.

This application will be used within our network, but will also be used by a
sister agency that is not in our network. Which is why we do not want the
document server complete path floating inbetween us and them where it could
be intercepted by an outside user.

Reading the documents through as a URL would be so nice and probably the
easiest method to accomplish this, but the "God's Above" want it to remain
strictly a file server.

I guess I will start looking into FTP'ing them between servers as that may
be the simplest solution at this point.

[PHP] Conditional compilation

[Herman Gomez]

Hi,

Here is something I used to do in C/C++ to include/exclude automaticaly 
all debugging code at compiling time:


#define debug TRUE
#ifdef(debug)
//debugging code
#endif

That way I can include/exclude easily all debugging code in the final 
compiled code. In PHP I have not been able to find anything like that.
The only solution I've found is having this kind of code in every debug 
code block:


if ($debug) {
//debugging code
}

But this means that the debugging code is in the final compiled 
(interpreted) code, wasting cpu cycles even if there won't be any 
debugging in production.


Does somebody know if there is something like conditional compilation in 
PHP that I can use?

You can have a php file called something like getFile.php where you pass
parameters like getFile.php?file=123 and it returns the file (with proper
headers).

But that way you'd have to map all file paths to a database. Then you could
access them thru codes, but remember to check user permissions before
handling him the file as you'd have a serious problem.

Aside of that, at the moment I can't figure another way of serving files for
a user hiding them the path for it.

I'd be happy to see what others have in mind. :)

Stut,

Are you referring to this?

"If you're using IIS then it's the IUSR_machine user which doesn't

The IUSR_SERVERNAME account is what it should be connecting as  
whether I'm using PHP/Javascript/HTML, unless specifically set in a  
connection string such as the database connections.  But, the

You need to understand that there are 2 sides to a web-based  
application, the client and the server. When you link the browser to a  
file (as in your HTML and JS code below) it's the *client* that's  
accessing the file. Neither IIS nor PHP get involved in that. This  
works because the browser is running as you and has sufficient  
permissions to access that network location.


When you try to do the same with PHP it is running as the  
IUSR_SERVERNAME user which, by default and for good reason, cannot  
access network shares in that way. The link I gave you should give you  
enough information to enable the required access for that user, but  
you might want to think carefully before doing so since it's disabled  
by default for security reasons.

You JavaScript works because it's opening a Window and pointing it's URL to
a directory your BROWSER has access, that's client-side.
If I run your JS (or your HTML) code, it will not work as I don't have
access to that \\server share.

PHP (and your HTTP server) are on server-side, and they're not having access
to your file.

PHP cannot access the file because the user it's running as has no

If that other server is publicly accessible your best bet is to serve

file on the other server. If not then you're left with enabling  
network access for the PHP user. A quick Google got me this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/207671 
 but there are other references out there.

Stut,

If I copy the link from the error message and paste it into a
browser running from my PHP server, the file comes up just fine.

Should I try mkdir() or mkpath() to set the server and folder
location and then try it from there?


The user PHP runs as needs to be able to access it, not you. I'm
guessing you're on Windows...

If you're using IIS then it's the IUSR_machine user which doesn't
have
access to the network by default. You can enable it but I can't
recall
how off the top of my head and you may want to reconsider because

it

leaves the server a lot more open should IIS/PHP/else be

compromised.


If you're using Apache on Windows then you'll need to check the
service configuration to see what user it's running as.


It can be done somewhat securely by mapping a network drive and  
then

granting permissions to it specifically, rather than the network
itself.
(I believe...)


It's been a while since I've used Windows but IIRC you need to  
enable
network access for that user at the lowest layer (i.e. system  
policy)

and then normal access rules apply, but I could be wrong. Either way
I'd avoid doing it if at all possible.


I think after XP SP2 it got a bit more granular. However, I'm no  
MCSE,
so don't take my word for it. :) I do agree with you, anyway, that  
the

user a webserver is posing as should not have access to network
resources like this.

I digress.

Because as I mentioned before PHP runs as a different user to your

Okay, I'm perplexed!

If I put the exact same value into a javascript function and open a window
the document comes up perfectly fine.

But, when trying to readfile() copy() or fopen() in PHP I get the "failed to

Any idea why the exact same link would open fine using a HTML link or a

Re: [PHP] Displaying files

[Dan Shirah]

If the network resource is the only location where these files exist, what
do you suggest I do?

Use PHP to first copy() the file from the server to a temp directory on my
web server and then open the document from the temp dir?

Let's look at the code:

//var1 and var2 are the search criteria the user entered in your search
form(You may have more or less)
function submitForm(var1,var2) {

//top.leftFrame is how you set the focus to the frame you want.  leftFrame
could be different on your system...whatever you named the frame.

//top.leftFrame.document.my_search.text1.value=var1 assumes the form name in
the frame you want data in is named
//my_search and it givs the text object text1 the value of var1 from your
search form
top.leftFrame.document.my_search.text1.value = var1;

//top.leftFrame.document.my_search.text2.value=var2 assumes the form name in
the frame you want data in is named
//my_search and it givs the text object text1 the value of var2 from your
search form
 top.leftFrame.document.my_search.text2.value = var2;

//top.leftFrame.document.my_search.submit() will submit the form in your
target frame then you can use the $_POST values throughout the frame
 top.leftFrame.document.my_search.submit();

//document.search_form.submit() will submit your search page. I use this so
I can reuse the $_POST values to display the search criteria after submit.
 document.search_form.submit();
}

Alain,

I haven't done it with PostgreSQL... But assuming it's not far from  
MySQL just save the excel file as a csv, or a tab separated file and  
import that. If you find away to import a strict xls file let me know,  
I have a project that could really benefit from that :)

Your question is not php related ;-)

Maybe, export the sheet as comma separated csv file and import it to postgresql.

Happy coding

Hi

I use vim + some plugins and a custom configuration. It works fine
in cli and as vim-gtk under debian/ubuntu.

The Plugins are NERDTree, PDV and debugger. This and a little own
vimrc makes we wonder how powerfull vim is.

The vim installation is a standard apt-get install way installation.

You can open mutliple files with NERDTree if you use the the tab-key. 
It is easy to handle more than 3 files recently, but a bigger 
resolution on your desktop is needed ;-)

So i can coding some lines or files, press CTRL-L for syntax
checking and have a wonderfull customizable syntax highlightning.

The autocomplete function works also very well. I have downloaded
the php5 funclist from rasmus and extend it if needed. Variables and
contants defined in the file that i edit are also autocompleted.

Happy coding
Mario
