That's not strictly true. Open source projects do sometimes die if
nobody steps up to bat when the original developer decides not to
continue it - SourceForge has many projects like this.  In this
particular instance mmCache is not dead (yet). The original developer
has moved to work with Zend and is no longer able to work on mmCache.
If you read the forums located here:
http://sourceforge.net/forum/?group_id=69426 you will see that there is
much discussion on this topic. At this moment it looks like some people
have said they will help with the continuing development, so there is
hope for it yet.  It is a fantastic cache and deserves to continue.

[PHP] Please help me with this. (Retriving info from mySQL database and then put it in combo box)

2004-01-31 Thread Radwan Aladdin
Hi all..

I have in my database the fields :CourseTitle, Language1, Language2, Language3, 
Language4, Language5, Language6...Etc..

Now what I want to make is : By using an ActiveX Control I want to retrive the values 
for these fields from the database.. so for example there are many rows there(In the 
database).. :

MS Word XP   EnglishFrench  Arabic

MS PowerPoint XPChinese French Arabic.Etc

MS Access XPChinese JapaneseEnglish.Etc

I want to retrive these rows and put them in two combo boxes  (CourseTitle and 
CourseLanguage).. the CourseTitle combo box contains the CourseTitle values from the 
database. For example : MS Word XP, MS PowerPoint XP, MS Access XP...Etc  and the 
CourseLanguage combo box contains the CourseLanguage values from the database for 
every CourseTitle. For example : MS Word XP has Englsih,French and Arabic languages.. 
so if the user chose MS Word XP then the CourseLanguage will show the languages for 
that Course..

I hope you got my meaning..

So what I want is to import from the database then split these info into items inside 
the Combo box..

Best Regards..

As far as I can tell there are no problems using it (at the moment) on a
production server. We use it on ours with great benefits. The issue is
whether the project continues and the best way to ensure it does, is
ultimately to get involved - this is an open source project after all!

Hi

True that there are countless thousands of projets at sourceforge that 
can be called dead. But these are mostly projects that never had many 
downloads even at the peak. or the platforms they ran on are no longer 
popular etc. Thankfully the same cannot be said of MMCache.

Re: [PHP] parsing variables inside a variable?

2004-01-31 Thread jimbo
Yes when I checked out the manual page for eval() it did occur to me that it
did open up significant potential for abuse.  As it happens I am passing
user supplied values into these variables, but I validate all my input
anyway to prevent people from modifying my queries etc..  I have observed
that PHP doesn't seem to be very naturally defensive but I guess no Server
Side scripting language is, except maybe JSP.

 Possibly because they didn't want to get into the security issues

 It sounds like you're ok there, as you only intend putting very controlled
 values into the database.

 The problem comes if you're potentially eval()-ing user-supplied values
that
 have been insufficiently validated.  Just suppose, for example, that it
was
 possible for a user to somehow get a value such as 'system(rm
 /etc/passwds)' inserted into the database in a field that you then
 eval()...

RE: [PHP] Re: array block

2004-01-31 Thread Shawn McKenzie
If you have an array like this (change the url to href):

$menu = array (
'link1' = array(
'url' = 'foo',
'title' = 'bar'
'style' = 'dolor'
),
'link2' = array(
'url' = 'foo',
'title' = 'bar'
'style' = 'amet'
)
);

Then something like this, or the general idea should work:

$menu = array (
'link1' = array(
'href' = 'foo',
'title' = 'bar',
'style' = 'dolor'
),
'link2' = array(
'href' = 'foo',
'title' = 'bar',
'style' = 'amet'
)
);

foreach ($menu as $array) {
$tag = a;

foreach ($array as $k = $v) {
$tag .=  $k=\$v\;
}
$tag .= $menu/a\n;
echo $tag;

}

There are better ways to do it I'm sure, but this is just following the
previous example.

RE: [PHP] How do you guys do this?

2004-01-31 Thread Michal Migurski
 users uploading two identically named files at the same time (not all
 /that/ unlikely), and you are using a database table to track

Really? You don't think it's that uncommon? Please give an example as I
can't think of any. Not like that's saying much. :)

I'd say that any time you have an application written for some specific
industry or audience, there's a good chance people will be uploading
assets with similar names -- we did one for an automotive company's design
department, and there were a lot of instances of people posting many
images named headlights.jpg, for example. The application was visual,
the frontend was flash, and they were more interested in the image than
the filename.

I used microtime() to differentiate them, but in retrospect it should have
been a no-brainer to use the database primary id to help differentiate
these, since the DB already did all the heavy lifting involved in ensuring
uniqueness.

Normally I wouldn't do this but the cURL list seems to be in severe 
hibernation, ie. no activity.  I'm in a bit of a jam w/ this and so here

How do I get cURL to pass headers properly?  It is ignoring my -H 
headers and sending its own default or whatever set of headers.  One 
example, it submits as x-www-urlencoded-form or whatever but I want it 
to just send -H my headers!.  Can anyone point me in the right 
direction?  I know I probably just need to change something simple 
here.. see below:

?
$mime_headers=POST /AUTHORIZE HTTP/1.0\nMIME-Version:

$xml_content={some XML - use your imagination here};

exec(/usr/local/bin/curl -m 120 -H \$mime_headers\ -d \$xml_content\
$merchant_URL:$merchant_PORT -L, $return_message_array, $return_number);
?
You do not need to call cURL external program to send an HTTP request. 
You can use fsockopen connections.

You may want to try this HTTP client class. It actually uses curl 
extension but only for secure connections (SSL/HTTPS). For normal HTTP 
connections it uses fsockopen. It can send POST requests including those 
tha need to send XML data like SOAP requests. So you can do what you 
want with this class:

 I used microtime() to differentiate them, but in retrospect it should have
 been a no-brainer to use the database primary id to help differentiate
 these, since the DB already did all the heavy lifting involved in ensuring

Even though it seems incredibly unlikely, isn't is safer to just not
worry about it and use unique ids instead?  Why take the risk when you
can use an autonumber from a database or md5(uniqid(rand(), true)), or
even: time() .  md5(uniqid(rand(), true)) if you want to be really
paranoid?

Subject: RE: [PHP] Turck MMcache - still continuing or dead?


 That's not strictly true. Open source projects do sometimes die if
 nobody steps up to bat when the original developer decides not to
 continue it - SourceForge has many projects like this.  In this
 particular instance mmCache is not dead (yet). The original developer
 has moved to work with Zend and is no longer able to work on mmCache.
 If you read the forums located here:
 http://sourceforge.net/forum/?group_id=69426 you will see that there is
 much discussion on this topic. At this moment it looks like some people
 have said they will help with the continuing development, so there is
 hope for it yet.  It is a fantastic cache and deserves to continue.

  Hi,
 
  This topic has also been discussed in the past. Open source projects
  never die. When the original developer moves away what
  generally happens
  is that someone else takes his place.

Why not? There's nothing to stop you. The code still works, even though

[PHP] Perl script using Inline-octave doesn't run.

2004-01-31 Thread Paulo Lagrotta
Hello all,

I'm trying start a perl script from PHP but I'm not getting success.
This script is calling the Inline-octave module (see below an example) to
do some numeric calculus.
The script is started but it doesn't finish. I think that the process is
being killed when the Inline-octave module is called.

Any ideas to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance,
Paulo R. Lagrotta

 Perl Script #


#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use Test;

BEGIN
{
plan tests =1;
}


use Inline Octave = q{
   function x=jnk1(u); x=u+1; endfunction
};

my $v= jnk1(3)-disp();
chomp ($v);
ok( $v, 4 );
print $v\n;

[PHP] PHP Apache

2004-01-31 Thread Ash
Hi friends of PHP,
I am new to PHP and just created a code. I tried it out on a php enabled
site and it worked, oh joy!

I then installed apache 2.0.48. All was good.

I then downloaded and installed php 4.3.4.exe, the auto install version. I
chose apache in the bullet menu thing but when it installed it said i have
to configure a file as it failed to work.

I uploaded some PHP files to the htdocs, and loaded it via
http://localhost/file.php. The file exists and it loaded, but wasnt reading
the PHP script? It was like when you just open the file in internet
explorer. I am using inetrnet explorer 6.

Help me, i am running XP Home Edition!

Thanks   Ashley

RE: [PHP] PHP Apache

2004-01-31 Thread Anti-Gulu
Hi Ashley,

I think you didn't told Apache to parse PHP. You have to add the following lines
into the httpd.conf:

| LoadFile C:/www/apache/bin/php4ts.dll
| LoadModule php4_module C:/www/apache/bin/php4apache2.dll
| AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php4 .php3 .phtml

(without |, replace the Paths  Filenames)


If you don't want to configure everything yourself take a preconfigured package
- like WAMPP from http://www.apachefriends.org/index-en.html 
It comes with Apache 2, PHP, MySQL, Perl, ...

[PHP] Simple script but confusion with comparing strings

2004-01-31 Thread Ryan A
Hi,
Just fooling around with fwrite and fread when i seem to have hit a wall.
Basically, what i am trying to do is, make an md5 hash of a number, write
that number to a file.
A bit later read the hash from that file and compare it to a number, if its
1, then print 1 , if 2 print 2...
I have tried 2 ways of doing this, with an if and with strcmp, its reading
and writing perfectly...only
not comparingheres my code ( and yes, i got most of it from the manual)
:

?php
$type=$_GET['type'];

if($type4)
{

$filename = '/home/secure/public_html/testing/test.txt';
$somecontent = strtoupper(md5($type));

if (is_writable($filename)) {
  if (!$handle = fopen($filename, 'wb')) {
 echo Cannot open file ($filename);
 exit; }

  // Write $somecontent to our opened file.
  if (!fwrite($handle, $somecontent)) {
echo Cannot write to file ($filename);
exit;  }

   echo Success, wrote ($somecontent) to file ($filename);
   fclose($handle);
} else {  echo The file $filename is not writable;}

}
else if($type==4){
$filename = /home/secure/public_html/testing/test.txt;
$handle = fopen($filename, rb);
$contents = fread($handle, filesize($filename));
fclose($handle);

/*
* All the above is working...the problem part is bleow *
**/

if(strcmp($contents,md5(1))==0)
 {echo Yes, its 1br;}
else if(strcmp($contents,md5(2))==0)
 {echo Yes, its 2br;}
else if(strcmp($contents,md5(3))==0)
 {echo Yes, its 3br;}
else {echo file is blank;}


/*if($contents==md5(1))
 {echo Yes, its 1br;}
else if($contents==md5(2))
 {echo Yes, its 2br;}
else if($contents==md5(3))
 {echo Yes, its 3br;}
else {echo file is blank;}*/
echo $contents;
}

Both the above ways to compare the hash is failingwhat am i doing wrong?

Thanks,
-Ryan

[PHP] Son of Script halts inside imap_fetchstructure

2004-01-31 Thread Mike Gollub
Hi - 
 
I posted this last week.  It got one promising response, then fell by the wayside.  
I'm trying
this again: 
 
I'm running across a strange situation in which a script I'm running on a hosting 
company's server

as a web page (no shell access available) is dying inside imap_fetchstructure when the 
message has

an attachment. 
 
Of course, when I run it on my machine at home, it works fine :( . 
 
The hosting company is running PHP 4.3.4 and Apache/1.3.27 
 
My home machine is running PHP 4.1.2 and Apache/1.3.23 
 
I suspect the hosting company has something misconfigured, but since they're not 
likely to admit 
to it, I'm hoping there's a workaround I could put in my script. 
 
Other configuration info: 
 
Both machines show: 
IMAP c-Client Version   2001 
 
One possibly interesting difference in the configurations, though. 
 
Hosting company: 
--with-imap=/usr/local/4admin/src/imap-2002.RC10 
 
My machine: 
--with-imap=shared 
 
(OK, obviously I'm grasping at straws here) 
 
Both machines' IMAP configurations support SSL.  Mine also supports Kerberos for some 
reason.  
 
Thanks. 
 
Any help would be appreciated. 
 
Thanks. 
 
- Mike.

According to the docs, uniqid() relies on microtime() anyway, so it works
out to almost the same thing. You could just as well make a call to the
return value of the mktemp program, as well. Regardless, the important
thing is that you generate uniqueness /somewhere/ - if you're using a DB,
you get uniqueness for free! :)

Comparing uppercase to lowercase (md5 generates a lowercase string). 
Either remove the strtoupper when first generated, strtoupper the md5 
result in the comparison or use strcasecmp instead of strcmp.

[PHP] Act as a Server

2004-01-31 Thread Stephen Craton
Alright, I'm just looking for two answers: If it can be done and how? I
don't want code though, that's up to me to figure out.

 

I'm about make a script, somewhat like a mailing list, where users can
contact each other through a web based system or by email. My question is,
can I get PHP to somehow act as the server where all the emails come in?
What I means is like if I were to send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED], how could I
get PHP to pick the email up and distribute it out like a mailing list?
Would this require the configuration file to be changed or what?

 

Any help here would be appreciated. I don't think this has been done before,
or else I would have read their code and seen how they did it.

-  What I means is like if I were to send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED], how
- could
- I
-  get PHP to pick the email up and distribute it out like a mailing list?
-  Would this require the configuration file to be changed or what?
-

[PHP] mail list/outbound email

2004-01-31 Thread Dan McCullough
Looking for suggestions/thoughts/comments about mail list/outbound
email/newsletters.  I just bought some software to help my wife's clients
send outbound email campaigns (opt-in/opt-out) not spam.  There have been
several issues right off the hop.  Can anyone think of components that can
be used with php scripts to handle outbound email like those of responsys
and other big boys?

There is no such thing as a problem, unless the servers are on fire. 
Sometimes great opportunity comes brilliantly disguised as bad news.

 Comparing uppercase to lowercase (md5 generates a lowercase string).
 Either remove the strtoupper when first generated, strtoupper the md5
 result in the comparison or use strcasecmp instead of strcmp.

Why would you have to go onto a site to reply when using a mailing list

when you have a domain hosted thru them.  I can understand the desire to 
do it yourself, but this would be a major (if not impractical) project

[PHP] 3 variables not passing to function!!!????

2004-01-31 Thread Ryan A
Hey,
Am going nuts with this, and the manual for user functions is not very
helpful either:
http://se2.php.net/manual/en/functions.php#functions.user-defined

What i am doing is really simple, am trying to mail myself 3 variables from
a include file.
I am getting everything except the 3 variables($admin,$site,$lic), heres my
function:

***
include_once('PRO-Config.php');
echo $admin; // This was a test to see if I am getting the value from the
include..I am.

function sendEmail()
{
$DOC_ROOT= $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];
$SCRIPT_NAME= $_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'];
$PATH_TRANS= $_SERVER['PATH_TRANSLATED'];
$rand_emails=[EMAIL PROTECTED];
$the_email=[EMAIL PROTECTED];
$the_subject=Test function;
$headers=From: .$rand_emails.\n.Return-Path:

SCRIPT_FILENAME: $SCRIPT_NAME

MESSAGE;
mail($the_email,$the_subject,$mailcontent,$headers);
}//End of the function.

I get an email...but these 3 values are not passed:

Admin: $admin
Site:  $site
Lic no: $lic

What am I doing wrong?

$admin does not exist inside the function unless you pass it or make it

I created a test php script called hello.php and the web page was blank when I tried to access it. I could view the code... Any ideas? I am running WIN 2K server sp4.

RE: [PHP] search.php

2004-01-31 Thread Mike Brum
John, since you're looking to modify this script and not build your own or
search for another, here's some tips on how one might go about doing this.

1) set $which_one to the directory you want to search.
2) create a recursive funtion (many on php.net) to get all subdirectories
under it and build an array with their paths as the elements.
3)  now, take that arrary and add a foreach before the line $directory =
opendir($which_one); replacing $which_one with your foreach array
element.

This is the *easy* way that I can think to do this - just do it for each
subdir in the array. It probably is far from the most elegant way, but
offers the least amount of real editing/manipulation.

I welcome any/all flaming for my suggestion :)

Mike, :)
Could you show me how, or an example. This is why I went searching for one. I haven't 
the slighest where to start, but am willing to learn. I have toyed with $which_one, 
but it does not recurse sub-directories.
Thanks,
