RE: Re: [PHP] Full-Duplex communication
Hi Miguel, I can go in for a php based listener, yes, but this system is already in a production environment and there will be major changes required to get it done. If I get a chance to redevelop this, that is probably what I'll go in for. Tx, Vinod. -Original Message- From: Miguel Cruz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, May 24, 2002 10:18 PM To: Vinod Panicker Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Re: [PHP] Full-Duplex communication So still there is nothing in your requirements that doesn't suggest you'll do fine with a PHP-based listener. Of course you have the memory overhead of the PHP interpreter's RAM infrastructure multiplied by the number of simultaneous connections, but that would be the same with Apache (at least on Unix). miguel On 24 May 2002, Vinod Panicker wrote: Let me explain my project more in detail. This system is an Instant messaging system, with the backed running on apache / php / mysql. The front end client is a COM component that communicates with the backend, and interfaces with an MFC app. Now since Instant messaging requires that the server should be able to send asynchronous messages to the client (Presence, IM's, notifications, etc), and HTTP does not allow asynchronous communication, the only solution is to have the client poll the server for messages. Now i know that apache / php is not a good solution for an instant messaging server, but we needed it to be ready in a months time, and php is so amazing that we could get it up and running so fast. But it meant that we have to live with latency between messages because of the polling. So i was thinking if there was some way in which i could avoid the polling and send data asynchronously to the client (Pls refer to my previous posts). Thats why i was looking at a way in which i could get hold of the socket to the client, so i could use it to send data directly. Tx, Vinod. On Fri, 24 May 2002 Miguel Cruz wrote : Not to be argumentative, but what you're trying to do is just so amazingly much more complicated than any of my suggestions. Maybe I haven't communicated it well, it maybe there's some requirement to your project that I don't understand. Why not just write a listener in PHP and redirect to it? It's basically no work. Handcrafting packets for this purpose is like building a car out of paper clips and cat hair because the car that's freely available to you is red - and you don't like the color red because your old girlfriend used to wear it a lot. miguel On 23 May 2002, Vinod Panicker wrote: What you said did make sense, and complements my knowledge of sockets. But what i'm not sure of is this - if i construct my own packet and send it across, presuming that i do have the ip address and port number of the client on which it is reading, will the client accept it as a legitimate packet? I suspect that since the packets would be having some kind of session identifier / sequence number. Getting the ip address and port number is no problem. I already have that getting stored on the server. But from what i know of sockets, i'm sceptical if the client will accept the packet. Guess the only way to go ahead is to try this out. Would someone pls pls pls write a PHP interface to libnet?? Tx, Vinod. On Thu, 23 May 2002 Evan Nemerson wrote : You're right- this is getting interesting ;) http://www.packetfactory.net/libnet/manual/4.html#s4.1.5 Unless I'm mistaken, you don't need to actually hijack the socket- you merely need to write to the network. Check out section 3.1 of RFC 793. There is source and destination port- that is how they are routed. Okay anyone PLEASE correct me if i'm wrong... My understanding is a socket is an interface to the kernel. So basically, you talk to a socket, which the kernel associates with source and destination ports, and destination IP address. Thats why you can just write to a socket instead of explicitly stating all the information. The kernel then sends out then creates the packet and send it to the destination IP. libnet would allow you to bypass the socket phase, and manually create a socket. Think of a socket as a GUI for the network, and libnet is like a console ;) Hope that helps, and once again anyone PLEASE correct any inaccuracies, since I want to know.

[PHP] Re: Session's is slowing the page ??
Hi PHP's sessions are blocking, i.e. until a session is closed, all other calls to session_start() are pending. If you don't close a session explicitely, it remains opened until the script is terminated. The solution is to close a session as soon as possible (session_write_close) or use non-blocking read-only sessions (session_readonly instead of session_start) in case you don't need to modify registered variables.

[PHP] Re: Newbie question about PHP and Oracle
Hi,
I think you mean hwo u can get the data into an array
well here is an example :
$query = select ...;
$stmt = ociparse( $connectionhandle, $query );
if( ociexecute( $stmt, OCI_DEFAULT ) ){
ocifetchinto( $stmt, $row, OCI_ASSOC+OCI_RETURN_NULLS );
}
and now you got 1 resultset in an associative array called $row.
take a look at the oci-functions in the manual for the different flags u can
set.

Re: [PHP] Variable vs Constant
Billy, There must be a limit to the number of variables you can use in php but I haven't run up against a limit yet, and php seems to run as fast on my high variable count code as my more mundane code. Obviously, the advantage of using variables is that you can group your variables/constants in one area at the top of your code and when you need to change one of the constants (and you know you will need to do this eventually) you won't need to look for it in amongst your code. Not really an answer to your question but more of an observation on my part. I hope one of the more experienced will also pipe in.

Re: [PHP] function return
Hi,
I don't know if there is an easier way to do this but why don't you concatenate
the two values to be returned and then split the returned value ?
ex :
function myFunction($some_vars)
{
$max=count($some_vars);
$some_value=($max/2);
$result = $some_value.;.$max;
return $result;
}
$resultado = myFunction($some_other_name_vars);
list($var1,$var2) = split(;,$resultado);
I hope it helps.
SR
$var1=should be the value of $some_value
$var2=should be the value of $max

Re: [PHP] Variable vs Constant
Thx Hugh i got what u meanlet me give u more background for my problem i am now working on a project which was developed by some others b4. As the project is a multi-language enabled, there is a PHP file (language file) which has all the setting , say $i_no_record_exists_msg = There is no record at the moment.; $i_no_search_result_msg = Sorry, your search yielded no results. Please revise your search query and try again.; $i_alert_pleasefillin = Please fill in the ; $i_email_to = To; $i_status_approve = Approve; $i_status_pendinguser = Pending; $i_status_publish = Publish; $i_status_checkin = Check In; . .. .. In this language file, over 500 variables are declared. And what i scare is 1. programmatically, should i change all these to CONSTANT? (coz all these values will never change) 2. if there is difference in declaring variable and constant (say, memory space required), how much harm it will ? 3. as this file would be included in the entire systemthe downside will be even more thx Billy Hugh Danaher [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message 000701c20620$885cd2e0$017f@localhost">news:000701c20620$885cd2e0$017f@localhost...

Then, when checking to see if a user is currently logged in, you check how long ago was he last seen. If it was more than X seconds/minutes/etc. (this is for you to set), she is considered offline and you can remove him from the file.

Subject: [PHP] function return
Hi all,
I have a Q about functions. My function should return 2 values. What syntax
should I use and how do I call these values outside the function? Are these
values returned as en array or something?
this is what I have now,
-
function myFunction($some_vars)
{
$max=count($some_vars);
$some_value=($max/2);
return($some_value $max);
}
$var1=should be the value of $some_value
$var2=should be the value of $max

So I'd like to know if it's possible to send an end-of-document to the user but not the end of the script. These commands do not produce any output (normally) so there's no need for the user to wait for them. Can this be done somehow?

[PHP] Apache query error affecting PHP?
Hello... I'm wondering if I have found an oddity in httpd. I'm currently writing a PHP directory listing system. I am pretty sure that this is not a php issue, but I have not been able to test it on a httpd install sans php, but it can be seen when requesting an image file, which should not invoke the PHP parser. So here it is, if you try hitting the URL: http://www.anapraxis.com/assets/global/en_solutions.gif?element=../../../ Or if you would like to see it on the httpd site: http://httpd.apache.org/images/httpd_logo_wide.gif?element=../../ Apache will actually return the directory listing of the assets/ directory (assuming you have directory listing enabled, otherwise it returns the standard forbidden error). It does not seem to matter what the actual variable name following the ? is. However, shouldn't apache ignore anything following the ? as it should really just be a part of the query string variables? This really seems to be buggering my attempt at passing directories in variables, but it seems that a lot of scripts must do this, am I just doing something stupid?

[PHP] Previous Discussions
Is anyone aware of previous discussions with php/mysql with using file inside the db (BLOBs) and integrating php to serve these files? In my opinion, I'm sure there's a better way than store to a temp file and send user the hyperlink, then deleting the temp file. Perhaps something with output buffering, etc. I'm sure this topic has come up before, but I have been unable to find any relevant information.

[PHP] Server error when executing mail() function
Hi, I keep getting a 'Server Error' when executing the mail() function. I thought the problem was the SMTP server in php.ini, so I've tried several alternatives (including my Outlook smtp and free smtp servers). I'm starting to think that it's not that that's causing the problem. Is there anything else that can cause the same error?

[PHP] Re: Session's is slowing the page ??
Hat you do is the same as if you do nothing, because your session_write_close() is called near the end of script and sessions are automatically closed at the end of a script. You should 'copy' all needed variables from the session in your header.php like this: session_start(); $copy_user = $user;//if $user and $user_email are session data $copy_user_email = $user_email; session_write_close();//or session_end() if your php knows it That way you can access $copy_* in the body instead of session variables. It works as readonly access to session data Tom Dima Dubin wrote: Hi Tom Thanks for your help but the problem still happens :-( First I tried to use session_readonly() but it was unknown FUNC` in my php, then I try the second way : I have header.php footer.php in the header I use session_start(); and in the footer I use session_write_close() and still every minute the site freezes.

I want to validate a form (in page1.php) to check if the user has entered a correct email-adress and more, and if he needs to correct some fields, I'd like to display the form again with all correct values filled in and the incorrect fields hightlighted. You may want to try this class that is meant precisely for that: http://www.phpclasses.org/formsgeneration To make it a bit more difficult I've decided to POST to another file (post.php) which validates the information and redirects the user (with Header - Location) to page1.php if he has to correct the errors. If the form is correctly filled in then he will be redirected to page2.php. This is to prevent the browser for asking him if he wants to repost data if he hits Actually that does not prevent it. There are more robust way to prevent undesirable effects of form reposting. It depends what effects you want to avoid. 'Refresh'. Now I want to know how to pass information from post.php to page1.php since the form page (page1) needs to know what was incorrect and what was correct so that it can hightlight the bad fields. I don't want to stick it in the URL since it would be too ugly, but I do have session variables I can stick them in. Is this the way to go? Or is there a better solution? I would not bother to do that.

[PHP] Re: imagettftext question
Ziying Sherwin [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message
[EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]...
In our application, we need to write a UTF8 strings to the image using
True
Type fonts. The php function that we are using is imagettftext. However,
we have the two problems regarding that function:
1. The images that are generated by this function is white fonts on the
black
background. But what we want is black fonts on the white background. It
seems impossible to set the background color. What we are doing now is
to
call external commands to reverse the color which is rather slow. Is
there
better way to achieve the same result?
How about this example:
var $width = 200;
var $height = 50;
var $offset_x = 0;
var $offset_y = 10;
var $font = '/usr/share/fonts/times.ttf'; //default font.
var $msg = Hello!;
var $size = 24;
var $rot = 0; // rotation in degrees.
var $transparent = 1; // transparency set to on.
var $red = 0; // black text...
var $grn = 0;
var $blu = 0;
var $bg_red = 255; // on white background.
var $bg_grn = 255;
var $bg_blu = 255;
var $truecolor = false;
if($truecolor) {
$image = ImageCreateTrueColor($width,$height);
$background = ImageColorResolveAlpha($image, $bg_red, $bg_grn,
$bg_blu, $transparent?127:0);
$foreground = ImageColorAllocate($image, $red, $grn, $blu);
ImageFilledRectangle($image, 0, 0, $width, $height, $background);
} else {
$image = ImageCreate($width, $height);
$background = ImageColorAllocate($image, $bg_red, $bg_grn, $bg_blu);
if($transparent)
ImageColorTransparent($image, $background);
ImageFilledRectangle($image, 0, 0, $width, $height, $background);
$foreground = ImageColorAllocate($image, $red, $grn, $blu);
}
ImageTTFText($image, $size, $rot, $offset_x, $offset_y, $foreground,
$font, $msg);
Header(Content-type: image/png);
ImagePNG($image);
2. We also have long UTF8 stings that need to be broken into several
lines.
Which php function has the ability to properly break UTF8 strings? And
how to display multiple lines using imagettftext?
I guess you have to develop an algorithm do line breaks your self
ImageTTFBBox() should provide you with data to make it possible.

Hey All,
I am just begining to learn regex functions in PHP. Anyhow I
am trying
to code a preg_replace function which basically cleans a URL.
What I mean is say a url is index.php?page=hellolist=10start=4 you
pass that URL and say 'list' to the function (shown below) Anyhow I
want that to then return index.php?page=hellostart=4 (see how the
entire list reference is now gone)
Here is what I have come up with so far, though I am yet to
test it as
I am coding this at work :)
function stripUrl($url, $url_strip)
{
// Check that $url_strip is in the URL
if(strpos($url,'?') strpos($url, $url_strip.'='))
{
// Lets clean up the url
$url = preg_replace(/\?|$url_strip=/, , $url);
}
return $url;
}
My problem is that, how do I make the preg_replace stop when it
encounters a in the URL? If anyone could shed some light on this it
would be appreciated,
- Regards, Scott

Even though the address I gave on that line was a perfectly legitimate email address, once I changed it, it worked fine. The new address was longer than the old, so it wasn't a problem with the length.

PHP way: Use strtotime() to get a unix timestamp for each one. subtract smaller from larger and divide by number of seconds in a day. MySQL way: I assume these dates come from a database.

RE: [PHP] Intermediate Searching... screen.
You could, in theory, submit your query to an intermediate file, which only displays the Searching screen, but is querying your database and throwing everything you need into hidden fields in a form. Then have that form have an onLoad submit to your results page. I did this with HTML submitting to Perl submitting to PHP until we got the PHP/DB problems worked out. Here's what I wrote: print htmlhead/headbody onload=\document.HiddenForm.submit()\ ; print Page is loading, please wait; print form name=\HiddenForm\ method=\POST\ action=\../../joinpoint/joinpoint.withimage.php\; print $hiddenData; print /form/body/html; $hiddenData contained all of the values, in hidden data form, that I was sending to my action script. Good luck! There is probably an easier way than this, but if no one else comes up with it, at least you have something. -Natalie -Original Message- From: Jeff Bearer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, May 28, 2002 2:24 PM To: Php-General (E-mail) Subject: [PHP] Intermediate Searching... screen.

Obviously, the advantage of using variables is that you can group your variables/constants in one area at the top of your code and when you need to change one of the constants (and you know you will need to do this eventually) you won't need to look for it in amongst your code.

Or does it involve caching/handling files in any different way? It just calls the OS unlink() function, which is presumably what rm does. Actually I just did a trace and that's exactly what rm does. rm of course has a whole lot of extra options, but they just affect which files it acts on. miguel -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Intermediate Searching... screen.
Search screens are a tricky prospect and none seem to work very well. However you could try one of the following techniques... Instead of the submit button initiating a search it initiates another script that displays the 'searching...' message and only after it has outputted that to the screen does it initiate the search. The last line in that script would be a redirect back to your results page. Another way to do it would be to set up a couple of Javascript functions. Echo one to open the 'searching...' screen prior to initiating the search. Then at the end of the script echo the other javascript function to close the 'searching.. ' screen. But I've implimted a version of this for an upload script and it didn't work so hot.

[PHP] Imagecreate and/or GD library not activated
Hello everyone. I wrote a little code creating PNG images under Apache/PHP windows. As the code works fine, I need to transfer it onto the Linux platform. When I execute the code, PHP replies Fatal error: Call to undefined function: imagecreate(). I had libgd installed. I just added GD 1.8.4. The php.ini file says ;extension=gd.so. I removed the comma, restarted Apache. Does not work. I copied libgd.so in /etc/lib/php4 but did not change anything. Any idea? Thanks.

Are these values returned as en array or something?
this is what I have now,
-
function myFunction($some_vars)
{
$max=count($some_vars);
$some_value=($max/2);
return($some_value $max);

function myFunction ($some_vars)

Heres what should be thread safe

(then i insert into the table the new cno plus my name)
insert into mytable ($r,'myname');
}
How to do this and make sure its thread safe?
More of a database issue. select ... for update is a good starting point
as you search the manual of your particular database platform.

[PHP] auto_increment
I think this is any easy question, but I couldn't find an answer in the php Black Book for PostgreSQL. Does anyone know the equivilant of auto_increment for PostgreSQL? This is the php code that I have: $query = CREATE table $tablename (id INT NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY, ip TEXT, customer TEXT, dslphone TEXT, date TEXT, vpivci TEXT); This creates the table, but when I need to add data to the Database, I have to specify a unique id each time. I need want the id to automatically increment each time data is added the the DataBase. Is there a way to do this by adding an auto_increment option to the id field when the table is first created?

[PHP] Multiple variables
Hi,
I got a table, which contains a lot of text-boxes. Each textbox has a name:
Text1
Text2
Text3
etc.
Is it possible to check if they are all set using a for-loop?
I think of something like:
for($i=1;$i10;$i++)
{
if(empty(Text+$i))
{
do something...
}
}
regards,
Morten

If I write a comment line with // and I include in it ? then it fails to parse the rest of the page because (i'm guessing) the parser gets confused and goes off PHP mode. Is this normal?
