Re: [PHP] Website with a Instant Messenger
Hello all, I want to put a instant messenger in a website. People connect to this website to stay in touch with each other. There is a photo album for everyone, a Forum, groups... The IM must work like ICQ, MSN and other, but via web. Users of the site can add other users to the list, and when people log in their status go ONLINE. Then we can open another window and chat, or send a message... Nothing more than that. Where can I start? I have no idea on how to do this... Any help?

Re: [PHP] poor image quality in php
hi! I have a problem with the imagejpeg() function - or related. I must specify that I'm a newbie with image handling with php and that a piece of advice would really help me right now. The deal is that I want to create a (smaller) resized copy of a certain image using this code: $veche = imagecreatefromjpeg($img_large); $noua = imagecreate($wm, $hm); imageinterlace($noua, 1); imageinterlace($veche, 1); imagecopyresized($noua, $veche, 0, 0, 0, 0, $wm, $hm, $size_large[0], $size_large[1]); imagejpeg($noua, $smallPath, 100); ImageDestroy($veche); ImageDestroy($noua); the resizing part goes well; I don't really know what the imageinterlace function does, but I used it in desperation. Why: the output image's quality is visibly inferior to the source's. And I want the image to look good. The source is a jpeg (dinamic). As you probably have noticed, I set the quality parameter to 100, but uselessly. What i'd like to know is whether php can output some quality jpegs, and if so, then how? Thanks a lot! PS: imagecopyresampled does not work either - produces the same result! When you create the new image try using imagecreatetruecolor() http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.imagecreatetruecolor.php JIm Grill -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Images in PHP and MySQL
1) there is no need to fiddle with directory permissions to write images. 2) if the content is sensitive you have the added security of the database password (and the fact that the database is ususally not directly accessible). 3) a mysqldump gives a backup of all images along with other persistent data Other disadvantages follow: 1) excessive load on the server for loading each image 2) the load mentioned above causes a slow down in the script 3) images usually need to be written to file before using GD for manipulation, inclusion in PDFs, etc. That's a very good list. I just wanted to pipe in on this one thing: 3) images usually need to be written to file before using GD for manipulation, inclusion in PDFs, etc. There is actually a function for this: imagecreatefromstring() I'll don't want to touch the rest of this topic though. :-) Jim Grill -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] bitwize '' operator trouble
I ran across this problem with php 5.0.2 in Linux. This problem did not exist before
and this code was used in php 5.0.0, 5.0.1, 5.0.2-dev, and several other cvs snaps
along the way -all on Linux.
?php
// example
// network IP and mask
$range = '192.168.0.0/24';
list($ip,$mask) = explode('/', $range);
// Calculate the number of hosts.
$numHosts = pow(2, (32 - $mask));
print num hosts: $numHostsbr\n;
// Netmask = fullmask - number of hosts.
$netmask = pow(2, 32) - $numHosts;
print netmask: $netmaskbr\n;
print human readable netmask: . long2ip($netmask) . br\n;
// address to number
$ipLong = ip2long($ip);
print ip2long ip: $ipLongbr\n;
// here is where the problem is:
print (\$ipLong \$netmask): .($ipLong $netmask).br\n;
// PHP 5.0.2-dev (cli) (built: Sep 21 2004 14:39:26)
// prints out -1062731776
//PHP 5.0.2 (cli) (built: Sep 24 2004 13:58:57)
// prints out 1084751872
// ...and so the following always fails:
// If the ip is not equal to (itself netmask) it cannot be on the network boundary
if ($ipLong != ($ipLong $netmask))
echo Ip NOT on network boundary!;
else
echo Ip IS on network boundary!;
?
I'm sure there are other ways to test if an ip is on a the network boundary of a given
CIDR and I'll appreciate any examples of that. However, I am more interested in why
and'ing these two numbers returns a different value now. I'm unable to find any clues
in the docs.

Re: [PHP] db transactions across multiple pages...
It's my understanding that persistent connections via the old ext/mysql was a flawed misfeature to begin with. This was one of several misfeatrures corrected by the new mysqli extension. There is some information on the subject here: http://www.zend.com/php5/articles/php5-mysqli.php It would be my guess that pconnect will be a thing of the past.

Hi Karl,
The problem is in your formatting.
$specs_query = mysql_query(select title, information from spec where
product=.$id order by id asc);
Try this instead
$specs_query = mysql_query('SELECT title, information FROM spec WHERE
product=' . $id . ' ORDER BY id ASC');
Note the use of single quotes (it's faster)
You could have just done this with double quotes:
$specs_query = mysql_query(SELECT title, information FROM spec WHERE
product=$id ORDER BY id ASC);
It might also be a good idea to put single quotes around $id if it comes
from user input:
$specs_query = mysql_query('SELECT title, information FROM spec WHERE
product=\'' . $id . '\' ORDER BY id ASC');
- OR -
$specs_query = mysql_query(SELECT title, information FROM spec WHERE
product='$id' ORDER BY id ASC);
Have fun!

Re: [PHP] ini_set('include_path') and require_once()
The error message hints that something is wrong with your include path.
(include_path='.:..')
Also, when you say `ini_set(include_path, ../../php)` you are
overwriting the entire include path rather than appending your path to it.
Try this:
?php
echo get_include_path();
set_include_path(get_include_path() . ':/full/path/to/your/includes');
echo get_include_path();
?
I would use the full system path rather than a relative path. Using echo
get_include_path() should give you an idea what's going on.

As others have mentioned, you cannot output *anything* at all before modifying headers. If your script outputs even a space, headers are sent. Headers can only ever be sent one time per request. The solution: make a separate request for the image. To get around this problem put your image fetching code into a separate script and call it with an image tag. Ideally, you would have saved the image sizes in a separate column so you might select only the id (or name of the image) and the size in your main script and then call the second image fetching script like so: img src=image.php?img_id=$id width=$width height=$height border=0 / The $id, $width, and $height would have come from your db. Save the actual fetching of the image itself for image.php. Good luck and have fun!

Re: [PHP] Function Problem
I'm having a problem with a php application;
I have two files: one is ccadduser wich adds users to a controlcenter
that I am currently designing for a website.
In that ccaduserfile I call for a function checkpermission(); this
function is defined in another file called ccfunctions
When a user does not have access to the script it should abort the
script, this is done using a header(location: ccnopermission.php);
statement
But now it seems that while executing the function checkpermission()
the code in ccadduser just keeps running and the database query that
inserts the new user is executed before the user can be redirected to
ccnopermission.
Is there a way to make php wait until checkpermission is completely
executed?
I know it is not a simple question, but I really need a solution to
ensure the safety of my system.
grtz thanks
DragonEye
After calling the header redirect call exit();
example:
header('Location: somewhere.php');
exit();

Re: [PHP] Need direction on PHP-CLI MUD Server

I hope I'm understanding what you're asking. If you need to interact with
the user via stdin you can use this function to capture user input:
function read()
{
$fp=fopen(/dev/stdin, r);
$input=fgets($fp, 255);
fclose($fp);
return $input;
}
Your code flow could look something like:
?php
do {
print what's your name?\n;
$name = read();
} while (empty($name));
print Hello $name!\n;
sleep(1);
do {
print What is your jedi name?\n;
$jediName = read();
} while (empty($jediName));
print Hello $name AKA $jediName\n\n;
function read()
{
$fp=fopen(/dev/stdin, r);
$input=fgets($fp, 255);
fclose($fp);
return trim($input);
}
?
I hope that gets you started in the right direction. Sounds like a fun

Re: [PHP] Need direction on PHP-CLI MUD Server

Donald Myers
Have you tried it? Every process will have access to its own STDIN and
STDOUT.
since your MUD server runs constantly you will have a stateful environment,
so keeping track of who's who should be possible.
This is purely guess work :-) but I think it should work. Perhaps there's
some way to fork?? I dunno. STDIN is there. I guess it's just a matter
figuring out how to access it.
Good luck! Let me know how it goes. If you want to send me some source code
off-list I'd be happy to give it a whirl. It might be better to solve
off-list and post the solution on-list since the code is probably huge.

Re: [PHP] Web Fetch Process

Subject: [PHP] Web Fetch Process
Hi
How can I parse HTML page which I fetched by PHP so some part of text would
be replaced by other text.
For example, if I have bold text on HTML page (bSome text/b) how can I
manage that all bold text on that page is replaced by some other text.
Also, I managed to delete all HTML code from page (with this code
$data[0] = preg_replace(/([])+([^])+([.])*([])+/i,, $data[0]);
but also would like to delete all chars except numbers from page, can this
be done?
Regards.
Zoran
Your first question:
To replace certain elements take a look at preg_replace()
http://us4.php.net/manual/en/function.preg-replace.php
Example:
$foo = 'stuff bsilly stuff/b more stuff';
echo preg_replace('/\b\(.*)\\/b\/', h1$1 lookie now/h1, $foo);
Your second question:
You could just use strip_tags()
http://us4.php.net/manual/en/function.strip-tags.php
Your last question:
To delete everything but numbers you could $content =
preg_replace('/[^\d]/','', $content);
Hope that helps

Re: [PHP] Correct headers for I.E. to open PDF?
I have searched the net, and found tons of developers with different
solutions to this problem, none of which I have found to work.
What should the headers be for a client to download a PDF document and
have it open using adobe i.e. pluggin??
Here is code I am using, it works on some versions of I.E., but not all:
$pdfdoc = $__BASE_PDF_BUILD_DIRECTORY.$_GET['FID'];
$filesize = filesize($pdfdoc);
header(Pragma: );
header(Expires: 0);
header(Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0,pre-check=0);
header(Content-type: application/pdf);
header(Content-Length: .$filesize);
header(Content-Disposition: inline; filename=FILE.pdf);
header(Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary);
header(Accept-Ranges: bytes);
readfile($pdfdoc);
exit();
Why isn't it working?
Thanks,
-Paul
If you attempting this over a secure connection (which I assume is why
you're having so much trouble) I.E. can be pretty gay. If it is over a
secure connection, it has to do with I.E. not being able to write to cache
or something. I forgot -- I ran into this a while back. If it's not over a
secure connection, I.E. is still gay. :-)
Try this:
header('Content-Type: application/pdf');
header('Content-Length: '.$filesize);
header('Content-Disposition: inline; filename=FILE.pdf');
header(Cache-Control: private);
header(Pragma: public);
readfile($pdfdoc);
exit();
When all else fails - force a download:
if(isset($HTTP_SERVER_VARS['HTTP_USER_AGENT'])
strpos($HTTP_SERVER_VARS['HTTP_USER_AGENT'],'MSIE'))
header('Content-Type: application/force-download');
else
header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream');
header('Content-Length: '.$filesize);
header('Content-Disposition: inline; filename=FILE.pdf');
header(Cache-Control: private);
header(Pragma: public);

Re: [PHP] Dinamic generate PDF : which way ? (classes, docbook)
Hi, I am evaluating the http://www.ros.co.nz/pdf/, www.fpdf.org and php classes that generate pdf and as another option use docbook to convert. I am not sure which way is better. From my point of view: a) Both classes seem to be fine but in order to generate (static) tables and other elements I will need a lot of programming calls/variables. So I'd have a manual and perhaps tedious/error procedure to convert the document into the programable-version of it. b) I do not have experience with DocBook (even tough I can code html and latex) but I could use an editor to generate the document with the tables, place images etc. Identify the template variables and call docbook to generate the pdf. I'd still have to manually convert the file but would not need a lot of calls to generate a table or even use a php programmer. I am assuming the the tags needed are more easly understanded than $pdf-addCell($data,width..) Any ideias ? There is a fairly new project called pdml ( http://pdml.sourceforge.net/index.php ) that extends fpdf that converts html (sort of) into pdf. I have used it some. It's new and a little buggy, but it is usable. You could easily use Smarty, XiTemplate, or some other template engine to manage the markup templates to use with pdml. There are also several scripts and classes on the fpdf.org site that cover all sorts of common tasks ( http://fpdf.org/en/script/index.php ). IMHO DocBook may be a little over-kill and possibly overly burdensome for this task since it requires your markup be written in DocBook XML format. I suppose it could be worth while if you plan to create your documents in several different formats on the fly.

Re: [PHP] Re: array_merge changed behaviour in Php5??
Can you at least explain me why it has been changed, before I go and change 150 lines of code, please? Yours Sincerely Sebastian Sebastian, Version 5 is what you would call a Major Version change. This is like comparing MySQL 4.x to MySQL 3.x. An insert statement that would result in duplicate keys used to issue a warning and would be skipped in a batch - now it issues a fatal error halting the batch. Using a new feature like on duplicate key update or REPLACE INTO ... is the better way to go if you want to explicitly ignore duplicates. This comparison is only meant as an example to explain why changes are made. With PHP 5 there are many fixes and small changes like this. To many, allowing non array values in array_merge() might seem like a mis-feature. To you it is obviously a problem. Many people would argue that you should have declared your array before hand to avoid this problem. This is why major versions are released early while the older major version is still supported like Apache 1.3.x VS. Apache 2.0.x and PHP 4.3.x VS. PHP 5.0.x. Some modifications to existing code are expected; hence the migration documentation. I can certainly understand your frustration as can many others, however, this is an anticipated (and documented) issue. Now, if I could just figure out how to plug this new fire wire storage device into my 386 I'd be a happy camper. :-) Best to you, Jim Grill -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Intermittent Seg Fault with PHP4.3.8 + FTP
I'm using PHP to write some backup scripts. One of the scripts uses PHP to connect via FTP to a server, download some scripts and tar them up. I'm getting intermittent segmentation faults with this script, and I'm not sure what to report to troubleshoot this. Can someone tell me what would be useful information to help determine the case of this seg fault? Thanks. I would be happy to offer some help with this issue, but need more information first. 1) Environment a) OS b) PHP Version c) CLI or web-based d) Are you running php as an apache module? 2) Logs/errors a) example from log file (just the error line(s)) b) what is segfaulting? (Apache, PHP, Kernel, other) c) Any error messages? 3) Any other pertinent information Jim Grill -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Intermittent Seg Fault with PHP4.3.8 + FTP
I'm runnning PHP 4.3.8 in CLI on Redhat 9 in this particular case. PHP compiled with --enable-ftp (among other things). PHP is installed as an Apache2 module, but (obviously since this is CLI), Apache isn't involved here. All other scripts work fine (CLI and web-based). Server is a dual MP 1600+. I've got the same setup running on a non-SMP server and it also seg faults at about the same place. I assume this is PHP seg faulting as I'm running CLI here. No error messages or anything (not hiding them or anything like that). Nothing in the sys logs. The script runs for a while (I've got it echoing what file it is d/l'ing), but then displays Segmentation Fault after it downloads several files. It does not die after a specific file, e.g. it dies randomly. Also, if I reduce the number of files to be d/l'ed, it won't seg fault. Usually it faults after d/ling about 210 files (it varies), but I've seen it go as high as 290. Its actually made it all the way through the script once today, but seg faults most of them time. OK. Sounds like a genuine segfault to me. The CLI version will simply print Segmentation fault to the screen or Segmentation fault (core dumped) when configured with debugging enabled. You will need to recompile and install PHP with the --enable-debug option. If you compiled from source you can usually go to your source tree and run ./config.nice --enable-debug make make install You need to have gdb installed (most likely, you already do). Since you are running a CLI script this will be super easy. This is the best way to go about it IMHO with your particular problem: At the prompt type: $ gdb php This will fire up the debugger and give you a prompt like so: (gdb). Type the following at the gdb prompt: (gdb) run /path/to/crashing/script.php This will run the application and will produce some kind of message indicating that there was a segfault like so Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. In the example below it was clearly mysqli_read_property() that caused the problem. Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. [Switching to Thread 16384 (LWP 17763)] 0x080d9e48 in mysqli_read_property (object=0x83b8184, member=0x83b5fb0, type=0) at /usr/local/src/php/php-5.0.1/ext/mysqli/mysqli.c:204 204 if (!obj-ptr || Once you receive a message like that, type the following at the gdb prompt: (gdb) bt This will produce a backtrace with one instruction per line with the last instruction at the top of the list. Alternately, if you run your code in CLI mode, and it segfaults, a file called core will be created in the directory you are working in. You can perform the same task using the core file like by running the following command: (replace /usr/local/bin/php with the path to your php executable) $ gdb /usr/local/bin/php /path/to/core Then type bt at the (gdb) prompt. The problem with running gdb and bt is that you have to have an intimate understanding of the PHP source code to get anything more than just a hint about the problem. If you can reproduce the segfault and capture a backtrace consistently you might have found a PHP bug. *Most* segfaults are caused by bugs since PHP is interpreted. What to do: If any of the output from gdb give you a hint what the problem could be (ftp functions or something) research each of the functions you are using on the PHP site reading the user added comments. Look for any mention of a possible segfault. Search the PHP bugs on http://bugs.php.net for your PHP version using the name of the function and/or the name of the commands in the backtrace. Chances are someone has already found the bug and there may be a workaround or the problem has been fixed in CVS or in a newer version (in your case PHP 4.3.9RC2). If you can't find anything relating to your problem on PHP.net, bugs.php.net, or google then you should follow the proceedure for reporting bugs on http://bugs.php.net/ . It's a thankless job, but it helps everyone out in the long run if done properly. It will be much appreciated if you follow the above steps and include sample code and gdb information when submitting a bug. Leave it to the real pros to read the backtrace output! :-) Good luck, Jim Grill -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Problem compiling PHP5

Re: [PHP] Re: Problem compiling PHP5
(I wish this was a forum, so I could edit/update posts) Trying the symbolic link trick in /usr/X11R6/LIB (from .so.4 - .so) doesnt cut it. PHP needs some of the header files (.h), which are not present anywhere but that /usr/local/lib/xpm-linux directory (which someone correctly surmised I had downloaded and extracted into that location). I will keep playing around with what i have in the local/lib directory for now. thanks paul Paul, I think the problem is that xpm was not installed properly. The directory structure that Curt pointed out earlier suggests that libxpm was not built - only untarred in to that location. libxpm has a rather strange build and install process as documented here: http://koala.ilog.fr/lehors/xpm-README.html Alternatively, you may be able to find a dev package for X11 that will include a libxpm library made for your system. The problem is that libxpm will not run out of the box. There is a build process that must be followed to build the library for your system architecture.

Re: [PHP] class packages
As far as I can tell there is not an easy way yet to create packages in
PHP5.
It seems the following is the best option:
include('classes/help/Search.inc');
// Inside Search.inc and in the same package
include('OtherClass.inc');
include('AnotherClass.inc');
Is there a better way?
Thanks!
Not really... That is about it.
PHP does not offer a way to group classes, scripts, and functions into
logical packages or applications like some other languages do (asp comes
to mind (and no, I'm not an asp advocate)). However, while it's common to
save each class in its own file, it isn't at all uncommon to have multiple
classes in a single file - especially if they are typically used together
like parent and extended classes or interfaces and implementations. This
method will also save disk io by only having to include one file.

Re: [PHP] What's faster? MySQL Queries or PHP Loops?
Here's the question... I can either A) in the header or my page, generate a recordset of all of the records in the related table and then loop through the recordset creating an array of the fields I need and then later pull from it in the repeat region... or B) take the six lines of code Dreamweaver generates to create a recordset and move them into the repeat region itself. In other words, I can create a recordset of all of the records in the related table, loop through it generating a PHP array and pull from this array later OR I can query the database every time through the loop while creating the repeat region. Robb Kerr Digital IGUANA Helping Digital Artists Achieve their Dreams http://www.digitaliguana.com http://www.cancerreallysucks.org Robb, How about choice C? :-) Query once if you can. Running multiple queries in a loop is always going to be slower. Now, I'm not totally sure I understand the problem. It sounds like you have one table to query and then you query a second table??? If that's true then what about a join to get everything you need from both tables at once? The idea here is that you get one result from MySQL and then loop through your result and display your content. Hope I'm not too far off.

Re: [PHP] What's faster? MySQL Queries or PHP Loops? OT
That brings up another question which I know actually belongs over on the MySQL board, but since the question arose here I thought I'd post here. I understood that MyISAM tables could not be relational. Do you mean that I can create JOINs between MyISAM tables?

While MyISAM tables do not natively support foreign key constraints, this has nothing to do with joined queries that is to select data from multiple tables or even multiple databases in one query.

Thus, I have to turn off buffering in the input stream but I can't find any way to do it. Been looking everywhere on php.net but can't find any hints. I have never been able to find a way to disable STDIN buffering in PHP. You may find ncurses_getch() of use however. http://www.php.net/ncurses_getch -- Greg Donald I'm not sure how great this solution is but here it is anyway: exec(stty -icanon min 0 time 0); The -icanon turns of canonical reading of stdin. The min has to do with the minimum characters needed for a read to be complete while time sets the read timeout (0 means no timeout and no minimum characters). You can also turn off echo if you don't need the user to see what they type: exec(stty -icanon -echo min 0 time 0); If you do this and run your script it will affect your terminal. If you happen to turn echo off just hit Ctrl c (to clear any invisible commands) and type (blindly) stty echo to turn it back on.

Re: [PHP] csv inssue
I was curious if anyone could help me. I need to write an insert to take data from a csv file to put into a MySQL db. I am not sure know to parse out 5 items of the string at a time i.e. (1,2,3,4,5,1,2,3,4,5,1...etc) so that the five putted items get inserted everytime. Like: insert into products (item,price,rate,name,desc) values (1,2,3,4,5) Then on to the next one and so forth. I am already parsing the file, but not sure if it needs to go into an array or set to vars then done in a loop. Please help! This is not really a PHP answer; However I feel your problem is not best solved with PHP. If your csv file is a standard csv file you don't need PHP to parse it. MySQL is capable of importing csv files on its own. Take a look at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/LOAD_DATA.html Example: $query = 'LOAD DATA INFILE /path/to/your/file.csv INTO TABLE mytable'; Even if your file is not of a standard csv format you can specify what your fields and lines are terminated by, enclosed by, escaped by, starting by, etc, etc. When uploading a CSV file exported from MS excel: $query = 'LOAD DATA INFILE /path/to/your/file.csv INTO TABLE mytable FIELDS TERMINATED BY , OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY LINES TERMINATED BY \\r\\n'; Very versatile.

Damn... You remind me that I need to rotate my tires this weekend. :-)
You did something wrong. :-) There should only ever be one single query
that should look like:
$query = 'INSERT INTO mytable (one,two,three,four,five) VALUES
(blah,blah,blah,blah,blah),
(blah,blah,blah,blah,blah),
(blah,blah,blah,blah,blah),
(blah,blah,blah,blah,blah),
(blah,blah,blah,blah,blah)';
Also, I did forget the quotes on the values. This will fix that: $query .=
'('.implode(',',$vals).'),';
There is a line that gets rid of the the trailing comma:
/*kill the last comma*/
$query = substr($query, 0, -1);
Take another look and then post some code if you still have trouble.
