[PHP] PHP Subroutine Call Blowing UP with Strings

[George R Smith]

All,

I am new to PHP (about 3 weeks) and am testing 
the return of strings from a external database
subroutine. This database is not relational, not
MySQL, MSSQL or others.

Thanks to all in advance for any help.

Some info which might be helpful:

The qmphp.so is the extension that is doing the call.
Written by someone else installed by me.

The subroutine returns 14 characters or less but
blows up when I increase the string to 15 characters.

Here is the successful return of two arguments
and with 14 characters in the second argument.

Re: [PHP] Re: Script failing on extension_dir

[George R Smith]

Matijin and Shawn,

I added to /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini the line
extension_dir = "/usr/lib/php5/20090626+lfs"

but when I run qm_ext_build I still get
You need to create the php extensions directory:
/usr/lib/php5/20090626+lfs no

could the error be in the qm_ext_build script. Here is the
section of code producing the error.

echo ---
echo  get the directory where PHP extension are stored
echo ---
EXTDIR=`php -i 2> /dev/null | grep -i "extension_dir" | cut -d" " -f3`
if [ ! -d "$EXTDIR" ]; then
echo -n -e "\n"
echo 
echo You need to create the php extensions directory:
echo $EXTDIR
echo 
echo -n -e "\n"
exit
fi

When I run manually I get:
root@dell350:/usr/qmsys/qmphp# php -i 2> /dev/null | grep -i "extension_dir" 
|

cut -d" " -f3
/usr/lib/php5/20090626+lfs
no
root@dell350:/usr/qmsys/qmphp#

I am doing this so I can connect the database I use and have only been 
studying PHP

for 5 days.

I have attached a file with the results of php -I and the build script.

Thanks again
George

There is something wrong with the cut where it is getting a 'no' from
the next line.  No time to test fixing that now but the simple fix on
your machine is this:

EXTDIR="/usr/lib/php5/20090626+lfs"



While I agree that it will fix the problem, it does sound suspicious.
You can check what php -i returns, to check if there is any problem
with your PHP configuration.

[PHP] Script failing on extension_dir

[George R Smith]

All,
I am tying to install php that will talk to the database I us (QM, a pick type 
database). As I 
am new to pdp don’t have much experience in figuring out what the qm_ext_build 
script is
failing.
Thanks for you help in advance.
george

I am trying to run following:
root@dell350:/usr/qmsys/qmphp# ./qm_ext_build
It is failing here with the message after the script.

echo ---
echo get the directory where PHP extension are stored
echo ---
EXTDIR=`php -i 2> /dev/null | grep -i "extension_dir" | cut -d" " -f3`
if [ ! -d "$EXTDIR" ]; then
echo -n -e "\n"
echo 
echo You need to create the php extensions directory:
echo $EXTDIR
echo 
echo -n -e "\n"
exit
fi

Error message follows, what does the no mean ?

You need to create the php extensions directory:
/usr/lib/php5/20090626+lfs no


There is a directory which contains (I think) the compiled extensions.
I am unsure where to go from here. Do I create a 
extension_dir and if so where do I put it and do I have
to copy the file currently in 20090626+lfs to it. Also
would have to, I believe, add the extension_dir to
the php.ini file.
Help would be appreciated.

yes to see the errors we ran it at cli. The browser page with sockets code

Yeah, this gives no results. Hence, I think sockets are not enabled yet as
sockets.so is missing.

When I add this line (dl('sockets.so');) to the top of my script I get the
following error:


PHP Warning:  dl(): Unable to load dynamic library './sockets.so' - ld.so.1:
php: fatal: ./sockets.so: open failed: No such file or directory in

When I add this line (var_dump(extension_loaded('sockets'));) to the top of
my script:

Can I get any help on how to add or install sockets.so to the php

Re: [PHP] PHP sockets enabled but socket_create() gives an error call to undefined function

[Suyash R]

We added the extension=sockets.so to php.ini but it didn't work. However,
the problem was there was no sockets.so extension anywhere to be found.

i searched if I could install or add sockets.so extension. Couldn't find
anything.

Still looking for it.

Thank you for all the help.

Re: [PHP] PHP sockets enabled but socket_create() gives an error call to undefined function

[Suyash R]

Sorry for the bad formatting and grammar in the previous mail.

No, we didn't try it our dept.'s admin wants to know where is sockets.so
file on disk and why should we try this when the phpinfo() displays sockets
being enabled?

Can you please help me find sockets.so file. I can't find it. It's a shared
object. Right? Are they stored on disk as individual files or all together
compiled into a binary. Thanks for the link I will request him again to try
it out.

Thank you.

Re: [PHP] PHP sockets enabled but socket_create() gives an error call to undefined function

[Suyash R]

My admin disagrees and I have questions too.

The phpinfo() fuction displays that sockets have been enabled. If
extension=sockets.so is an alternate way to enable sockets, then why should
this be done twice?

Re: [PHP] PHP sockets enabled but socket_create() gives an error call to undefined function

[Suyash R]

No, sockets.so in not included in any of the machines php.ini file. However,
I found that Linux machine's php.ini doesn't include sockets.so and sockets
work fine on it but don't work on the Solaris machine.

Is it required to be included only in Solaris?

[PHP] simple WSDL client

[Robert R]

Hi,

I am writing a simple WSDL client in php as follow:

http://staff.um.edu.mt/cabe2/supervising/undergraduate/owlseditFYP/TemperatureService.wsdl
";
$client = new SoapClient("
http://staff.um.edu.mt/cabe2/supervising/undergraduate/owlseditFYP/TemperatureService.wsdl
");
echo("\nReturning value of getTemp() call: ". $client->getTemp("12345"));
?>

when running the script I am getting the following error:

Fatal error: Uncaught SoapFault exception: [HTTP] Could not connect to host
in /var/www/phpsoap/client5.php:4
Stack trace:
#0 [internal function]: SoapClient->__doRequest('http://services...', '', 1, 0)

#2 /var/www/phpsoap/client5.php(4): SoapClient->getTemp('12345')
#3 {main}
  thrown in /var/www/phpsoap/client5.php on line 4

Am I missing anything?

Thanks,

can't undestand the "\n#[^\n]*\n" expression.


$sql = ereg_replace("\n#[^\n]*\n", "", $sql);

Any help for tranlation or alternative ?

[PHP] PHP as Server Side for a Web Database Application.

[R. S. Patil]

Hi,

We are in phase of evaluating PHP as Serverside technology for our first web
application.
We have finalized Flex for user interface and Birt as reporting engine. Now
the data services
are to be evaluated. Flex forums recommended us using PHP for this.

We would like to implement SOA for database access/Inserts/Updates/Queries
for report engine BIRT.
For SOA implementation we are considering XML-RPC and WSO2-WSF since we dont
have any past
experience on web development we are not position to make any decisions
about PHP serverside
technologies can somebody guide use which one we should select (May be
different than these two).
We will be using flex forms to insert and update data through web services
(mainly CRUD operations)
and PHP "Query" data services will be acting as Data Source to Birt for
reporting. Please suggest us
technolgy which is secure and prooven. The problem of integrating Birt in to
PHP has been solved
and successfully tested also.

Thanks and Best Regards

Let me be more specific. it goes like this:

front end:

   submit ajax,
   on server response check if the input didn't validate, or if the
task finished, offer fedback

on the server:
   ignore user intrerupt with ignore_user_abort();  and adjust max
execution time
   validate the input
   send back errors if the the input doesn't validate (at this point
the user won't have to wait for a long time)
   start the task that takes really long
   send a message that the task was done

The user will either be on the page  and get the message (if you want
to show one) or navigated away by this time, but your processing is
still done.

Since you are using Ajax requests, which by their nature are
asynchronous , your user won't have to wait. You can write some JS
code to let him know that the request was sent, and just let the ajax
call run in the background. On the server side make sure to ignore
user abort, just in case the user navigates away.

[PHP] Execute flash files with PHP

[R B]

Hello.

I have two scripts in php that reads a .swf or .flv movie file, like this:

SCRIPT # 1



SCRIPT # 2



The script # 1 with the .swf file works fine: the video is executed with
streaming.
The script # 2 with the .flv file  is executed but without streaming.

If i execute the movie.flv directly (without the php script), then it´s
executed with streaming.

Do you know how can i do to execute the .flv file with php and with
straming?
I tried with fopen, readfile, but don´t works.

Thank you

Well, I don't know how you tested, but if fopen_wrappers are enabled in
php.ini, then this:

echo
file_get_contents('https://www.moneybookers.com/app/email_check.pl?email=t...@toto.com&cust_id=123546&password=123');

displays this:

Illegal operation


Seems to work for me.

Re: [PHP] Re: mysql_query - CREATE DATABASE

[R B]

I´m looking that i have another problem:

I´m making a software to install in any server.

The software needs a database, so i want to create a script install.php
to create the database when this script is executed.

At this point of the instalation, i don´t know none of the users that are
defined in mysql.

If i use this command:

mysql_query("CREATE DATABASE my_db",$con)

first i need to connect to mysql with the command

mysql_connect

But at this point, i don´t know none of the users that are defined in mysql.

So, what i do in this case?

Thanks

Re: [PHP] Re: mysql_query - CREATE DATABASE

[R B]

I´m creating a software that use a database, and i want to include a
install.php file to install the database
of the software.

I can create the database in the install.php file with

mysql_query("CREATE DATABASE my_db",$con)
But when is created, i don´t know the complete name of the database, because
a prefix is added.

[PHP] mysql_query - CREATE DATABASE

[R B]

Hello,

When i create a mysql database with the next command:

mysql_query("CREATE DATABASE my_db",$con)

In the server is created the database, but usually the name is created with
a prefix.

In this case: someuser_my_db

How can i detect with PHP the complete name of the new database created?

Thanks

[PHP] Include PHP library file in the .htaccess

.htaccess instead of the PHP script?

[PHP] Non-traditional software accessing my website

[R B]

Hello,

Is there a way to be sure that a website is going to be accessed only by
traditional browsers and not from another
software that send to the server the same headers of any of the traditional
browsers?
For example, supose that i only want to give access to my site users from
firefox, ie, chrome and safari, because
i know that the users can´t download the copyright information of the
website to the temporary files with anyone
of this browsers.

How can i be sure that someone that develop a mini-browser or a software
can´t access my site sending the same
header information of traditional browsers?

In this case, the validation of HTTP_USER_AGENT isn´t a solution.

Thanks.

Re: [PHP] PHP and Apache configuration

[R B]

I like this apache solution, but if i put

SetEnvIf Referer "^http://www.yourdomain.com"; local_referal

Then i can access the file putting this path in the URL:

 http://www.yourdomain.com/xyz/scriptfile.php
And i don´t want the script to be access by the url. That is the main
problem.

Thanks

[PHP] PHP and Apache configuration

[R B]

Hello,

I need that every time someone access one image file in my server, then
redirect to a php file.

I make this well with:

Redirect 301 imagefile.jpg scriptfile.php

But i need that the file scriptfile.php can only be accessed by this
redirect command.

If someone try to access directly from the url
http://www.mydomain.com/xyz/scriptfile.php, i want to send an error access.

I tried with:


Order allow,deny
Deny from all

But with this configuration, the redirect command cant access the
scriptfile.php

Do you have the solution for this?

thanks.

so how can i do the same ?
i mean to have 1 single PHP page and to localize, but to have the URI

i know how to localize the complete website i already done it, but what 
you told ?

The reason it's in the URI and not URI agnostic is indeed so that search

Alain,

I would make everything on a single page.

A text input for the Question Title
A dropdown list for the different types
A textarea for the answer section

Then below the form just put two buttons:

"Finished" which will save the last question and take them to your homepage
"Submit Another" which will save the current question and then blank our the
answer textarea

You can use AJAX to make it seemless as far as the submission of data goes,
or you could do  as your submit action.

Subject: [PHP] Complex escape string

I have this line of code:

$q = "This is the string that will go into the query:
{${mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['searchstring'])}}";

What happens then is the user supplies 'foo' as the search string, and I get
a debug notice "Undefined variable: foo". Why is it treating the value as an
identifier and how do I make it do what I actually want it to do? This is on
PHP5, latest release.




---

It looks to me like what is happening is this piece:
${mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['searchstring'])}

Gets collapsed to $foo when mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['searchstring'])
== 'foo'. ${'a'} will expand to $a. I think that your problem is that you
need to drop that '$' before the brace around the function call.

You might want to check the HTTP_REFERER value; test the program from a 
browser and the swf, and see what happens. Alternatively you could use a 
GET parameter like


   http://example.com/yourscript.php?calledby=swf

Be aware that anything sent back from the client can be spoofed - and 
HTTP_REFERER can be altered or disabled -  so it probably wouldn't be 
hard for someone to make it appear to your script that it is being 
called by your SWF.


If you're really concerned about restricting the communication between 
the Flash movie and your server, there might be some way to build a 
challenge-response mechanism into the flash; I don't know much about it.


If, on the other hand, you just don't want to confuse someone who might 
accidentally run the XML-generating script from the browser, checking a 
GET parameter as above is probably the safest. If it's not set properly, 
redirect the user, eg:


   if (!isset($_GET['calledby']) || $_GET['calledby'] != 'swf') {
  header('Location: http://example.com/thecorrectpage.html');
  exit();
   }

You use it if you know how to otherwise you don't.

I don't understand why we should not implement something because it could be 
bad used by some persons as far it useful for others.

I want the object to be destroyed when a specific method of this object is 
called because when it has been called, the object has no reason to exist 
anymore.

It's like a SQL resource, when you have freed it, you don't need it anymore.

I would like to implement it in order to delete automaticly from memory 
useless objects.
It can be really useful for example to make schedulers in PHP in order to 
avoid "max memory usage exceeded" errors.

Why ? It would be nice to stop thinking PHP developpers are idiots who don't

I don't mean unset($this) is the best wy to allow an object to destroy 
itself. I just say we miss something to auto destroy objects.
We could also think about a magic method like __destroy().

[PHP] multiple curl and web service

[H u g o H i r a m]

Hi,

I am having this problem, I am retrieving some data from a MySQL DB, and 
using it to post a cURL, what I am calling is a web service, and I have 
3 options to do it: SOAP, GET and POST, I am not very familiar with 
SOAP, so I am using POST, in response I get a XML on each call to the 
web service.


If I call only one curl and web service each time, then everything works 
just perfect, but if I try to make multiple calls then I get weird 
results, I get some responses OK (an XML), but others are empty responses.


The first three responses are always empty, I don't get any errors, 
instead only those empty responses (no XML).


Ok, I'm posting the code right here:


$sql_aero = "SELECT
code
FROM
airports
ORDER BY
id ASC
limit 0, 10";

$result_aero = mysql_query($sql_aero);
$num_results_aero = mysql_num_rows($result_aero);
if (!empty($num_results_aero)) {
$i = 0;
$mh = curl_multi_init();
while($row_aero = mysql_fetch_array($result_aero)) {
$aero = $row_aero["code"];
$ws = 
"www.webservicex.com/airport.asmx/getAirportInformationByAirportCode";

$post = "airportCode=$aero";
print "$i = $aero, $post";
$conn[$i] = curl_init($ws);
curl_setopt($conn[$i], CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($conn[$i], CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post);
curl_multi_add_handle ($mh, $conn[$i]);
$i++;
}
}

do {
$mrc = curl_multi_exec($mh, $active);
} while ($mrc == CURLM_CALL_MULTI_PERFORM);

for ($j=0; $j<$i; $j++) {
if (($err = curl_error($conn[$j])) == '') {
$res[$j] = curl_multi_getcontent($conn[$j]);
print "$j$newstr[$j]";
}
else {
print "Curl error on handle $j: $err\n";
}
curl_multi_remove_handle($mh, $conn[$j]);
curl_close($conn[$j]);
}
curl_multi_close($mh);


As you won't have the DB, if want to try the code, use this array with 
the proper change to the code:


$airports = ['LAX', 'ATL', 'JFK', 'SAN', 'CDG', 'MAD', 'BCN', 'GDL', 
'TIJ', 'SYD'];


I am working on Localhost: Windows, Apache 2.2.3, PHP 5.1.6 and MySQL 5.0.24

here's the original code: 
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.curl-multi-exec.php

[PHP] about SQL authentication on PHP

[Lic. Eduardo R. Hernández Osorio]

Hello:
I'm trying to connect to a SQL Server database with PHP using windows auth. 
To do that I modified the PHP.ini file changing the line above:

; Use NT authentication when connecting to the server
mssql.secure_connection = Off
...
putting mssql.secure_connection = On 
...
instead but when I tried to connect to SQL Server the function
mssql_connect('myserver', '', '') doesn't work.

What am I doing bad?
need I to do something else?

Help me please, waiting for your help,

Hey all, got a slight problem, where for some reasons my variables dont seem
to be getting stored in the child class:

e.g

class Parent
{
  $private type;

  public function __construct()
  {
  }

   public function GetType()
   {
  return $this->type;
  }
}

class Child implements Parent
{
$public function __construct()


  $this->type= 'Child';
  }
}

$Child= new Child();
echo $Child->getType;

Can u see any reason why the type would return null?

Thanks,

Jeff

"SQL Server" usually means "Microsoft SQL Server". There is plenty of 
documentation on the PHP website regarding getting the MSSQL extension

[PHP] Alternatives to PHPLib for authentication, session management, etc

[Mark R. Cervarich]

Hi.

Been using PHP since the 2.0 days, and been using PHPLib since 2000 as 
the main method of user authentication (logging in/out during same 
session), and simultaneously use it to give the users who are 
logged in different permissions.


Since PHPLib has long ago stopped (at least in my opinion) active 
development, I am wondering what other systems people use to deal with 
authentication and permission levels.


I'd love to hear about complete libraries/methods that I could use as 
a replacement for PHPLib with the minimum of fuss.




As an example, in the pages I do NOT want to protect, I merely need to 
create a variable: $AUTHENTICATION = "off";

and my global includes check for that:

if ($AUTHENTICATION != "off") {
   page_open(
  array("sess" => "Example_Session",
"auth" => "Example_Auth",
"perm" => "Example_Perm"));
}

Which causes PHPLib authentication to be ignored for that page.  Every 
other page authenticates via the page_open() function.  PHPLib does it 
all behind the sceneswhich makes it very easy.



So, basically I'm looking for a system that works better than what 
I've got w/ PHPLib, that will be fairly easy to maintain  -- as well 
as drop-in as a replacement in the 100s of websites that I've 
developed that use that authentication scheme.


Thanks in advance,
mark

Re: [PHP] Filtering _REQUEST.. Why is this bad?

[J R]

i agree, no argument there.

Data coming from user should always be considered malicious. I'm just
pointing out one reason why not use _REQUEST. but there are intance _REQUEST
variable can be useful (just be very careful). Regarding _GET and _POST
using same name, there are instance this can be useful, not at the same time
in one page but rather interchangely. example in page submit you get data
from $_GET['sameName'] and on the next page submit you get it from
$_POST['sameName'] this is for dynamic purpose. There are situation, that
for example data on _GET needed to be passed but you need to pass your page
using POST.(like i said be careful and not over use because of lazyness)

(i hope i'm being clear)

Or they could replace all the POST data using POST...

A Bad Guy would have to be incredibly naive, unskilled, and downright
dumb to be caught by your script differentiating between
GET/POST/COOKIE as the source of the data.

Spoofing a POST is a matter of saving the HTML locally and filling in
whatever you want for extra INPUT and the values you like.

If you intentionally have 2 (or more) inputs to your script of the
same name, one each from GET/POST/COOKIE, I'd have to say that's a
pretty confusing design from the get-go.

Re: [PHP] Filtering _REQUEST.. Why is this bad?

here's my opinion on the matter.

it is not adviced to do filtering on _REQUEST getting data in general from
it actually. It is much better to specify where your data is coming from (
e.g. _POST or _GET). This is because variable _REQUST contains all the data
from the cookies, get and post. and if ever you have the same variable name
on two or more of those variable you might get the wrong one.

and as we all know there is a security risk with cookies. users can easily
replace you data for example in post using cookies.

the images disappear.

The images are codes as relative links:

Compare that to PayPal's Standard Rate of (2.9% + $0.30).

Either free, or at (2% + $0.20), google checkout would appear to be 
cheaper than paypal.

[PHP] Re: taking a one off payment

[Mark R. Cervarich]

http://checkout.google.com -- Google's answer to PayPal.
Best part is, they are taking NO FEES from now through 12/31/2007.
So you can use them to receive credit card payments for just over a 
year for FREE.


I've used it, and once account was setup, I was paid within 2-3 days.

Best part is, you can, from inside the webpage, click "Send Invoice" 
and it will ask you for an email addy, and a description of what you 
are billing 'em for.  You don't have to create a full shopping cart 
system!!!

Gold and Diamonds may also be worth considering. :-)

Sorry.

Now for some real suggestions:

If you really really do mean a one-off payment, Paypal may be the
simplest answer...

If you mean many one-off payments, any of the shopping carts should work.

You could also consider a MONEY ORDER or REGISTERED CHECK.

H.

Now it sounds like you want a recurring charge.

I dunno about oscommerce, but you should be able to set up a recurring
charge with the back-end just by flipping a button somewhere -- The
bank then hands you a "token" sort of deal which lets you cancel the
subscription payments, but not do much more with it, so you needn't
store the CC# to maintain state.

Apache has not been set up correctly to run this file as PHP. Have a
look at the installation section of the PHP manual - odds are you'll
find the answer there: http://php.net/install

Re: [PHP] Affiliate system

[J R]

use session. or you can store it in a database but that will take speed. :)

using session is much better rather than using cookies for lots of reason
(just google) specially if you are concered with security.

just my 2cents.

hth,
john

p.s.

if the client cookies is disabled set to true the session.use_trans_id.

Sessions and temporary cookies solve the same issue (even if sessions
are using trans sid). If a user has cookies disabled then you can rely
on the trans sid feature which already performs the propagation of the
session via URLs as you have suggested. Failing that, you don't really
have any alternatives :)

fopen (https:///aaa.gif, );

How can i resolve this problem and use this image?

now for your forms. i'm not sure is the above will work (to lazy to verify

where data from your forms are stored when the page is submited. and if you
want to keep your data when your user move from one page to the other, store
it in a session "$_SESSION". remeber to always start session
"session_start()" on every page.

my advice, avoid using globals. It leads to lots of error that are hard to
