[PHP] How to make HTTP call to another address?
I've recently set up some Tomcat/Java/Servlet stuff that provides some high-level functions I wish to make available from PHP. In other words, from PHP, I want to make an HTTP call to an address like: http://mycompany.com/myservlet?request=doSomethingarg1=meatarg2=potatoes and then use the returned stream of data to service the original PHP request. Clear? I quickly found the PHP HTTP library ( http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.http.php ), but my quick perusal makes me think this is only useful for controlling the HTTP response sent back to the browser making the original PHP request.

Maybe it helps to open the address with the fopen( )- or file( )-function to read it's contents. I use this method to get data from (dynamic) html pages on another website.

Re: [PHP] PHPEclipse?
Hi Dan I am the one building all the phpeclipse cvs releases. The latest zip file was corrupted (July 11, 2004), but the previous one works. Or, wait until tomorrow early morning when I will post a working CVS build for this week. I am using it and building it on Eclipse 3.0 in linux/gtk, but by all accounts it works just fine under win32 as well. The only thing that I personally can't get working is the debugger, but haven't spent much time on it as var_dump statements serve me just fine for now.

Re: [PHP] Re: How to make HTTP call to another address?
Quoting Arnout Boks [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Maybe it helps to open the address with the fopen( )- or file( )-function to read it's contents. I use this method to get data from (dynamic) html pages on another website. I don't have that much knowledge about Java servlets, so I don't know if this works for that also. It should work for any HTTP URL. But I'd recommend using fsockopen() instead of fopen(). fsockopen() has a built-in timeout, and you need this if you don't want to make your visitors wait indefinitely. The timeout works two-fold: there's a timeout for opening the socket, specified in the fsockopen() call; then there's a timeout control set with socket_set_timeout(). You can do something along these lines: * open socket with fsockopen() * if opening worked and it didn't time out, use socket_set_timeout() * do a while loop based on feof() and socket_get_status() (check for end-of-file and read timeout, respectively) * while in the loop, read from the socket A common pitfall: you will also get the HTTP response headers this way. Just skip everything at the top of the file until you meet a double newline (\n\n) for the first time. But you may want to check those headers to see if the server responded with a 200 OK code. The code is the first word on the first line of the response. Here's a nifty trick from the PHP-GTK crowd: use socket_set_blocking to set the stream to NON-blocking mode. Then all read calls to the socket will return immediately, regardless if they read something or not. In the long run, this will give the same results as with blocking mode, but you may save up a second or two due to increased responsiveness. Oh, and very IMPORTANT, do a small usleep() in every loop if you use non-blocking, even usleep(1000) will suffice; otherwise you risk killing the CPU on the server. -- Romanian Web Developers - http://ROWD.ORG -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

If you want to return a portion of an array, simple return the element

return var1_arr;
Will return whatever lives in var1_arr.

RE: [PHP] Templates Are Driving me Nuts[Scanned]
I looked at these briefly a couple of years ago but never really made great use of them. I also remember seeing an article in LinuxFormat about them which can be found at: http://www.linuxformat.co.uk/archives/LXF35.tut_php.pdf My understanding is that they are mainly intended for use in development areas where you get both programmers and designers working closely together. My limited experience of designers is that they get petrified at the sight of anything that looks like code nad personally I get horribly confused when I see some of those fiendishly complicated interfaces for graphic design applications. In theory templates might offer a way of bridging this chasm - though I have my doubts.

Re: [PHP] Templates Are Driving me Nuts
A template system allows you to (in most cases) use a special language, different than PHP, to write your HTML. At the simplest level, template languages replace special markers with content from PHP. More complicated types involve looping and other contro structures (if, then, else, etc.). Basically a template system allows you to seperate your display code from the rest, allowing quick and easy updating of the look and feel of the site without changing any (or much) of your PHP code. This is assuming you've architected it well, of course. ;-) On Tue, 13 Jul 2004 16:39:04 +0300, EE [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Dears, Please help. This template thing is driving my nuts.

The whole idea behind templates is to separate your business logic from your presentation logic. This means you have a script that does all of your processing and data retrieval, etc. This script is generally all PHP that performs your business logic. Then you have your template that only has code meant to control your presentation. This file is mostly HTML, generally, with some special template code or limited PHP thrown in to control presentation _only_. The idea is that changes to the presentation layer will not require changes to your business layer and vice-versa. Everyone has their own ideas on whether this is needed and what kind of templates to use. There are a ton of engines out there that you can use. Some are simple and some turn into programming languages of their own and just present another layer of failure/difficulty. Some people recommend just using PHP both in your business and presentation layer as this is what PHP was originally designed for. Personal preference. :) -- ---John Holmes...

[PHP] RE: using htmlentities with data in textarea
When setting up a site, you should:
A/ write a page with only the function 'phpinfo()' on it.
B/ Call the page phpinfo.php, and put it in your document root.
C/ Now tell us the location of your site so we can all view all your
security information :-)
wink do only A above and see if you have 'magic_quoutes_gpc' on, then
delete the page:
http://us4.php.net/manual/en/ref.info.php#ini.magic-quotes-gpc
or, you can just do a loop on your GET/POST/COOKIE variables after
testing if magic quotes is on using:
'get_magic_quotes_gpc()' to see if you need to strip them off.
if( get_magic_quotes_gpc() ){
reset $_GET;
| while (list($key, $value) = each ($_GET)) {
$_GET[$key]= stripslashes($value);
}
|reset $_POST;
| while (list($key, $value) = each ($_POST)) {
$_POST[$key]= stripslashes($value);
}
|reset $_COOKIE;
| while (list($key, $value) = each ($_COOKIE)) {
$_COOKIE[$key]= stripslashes($value);
}
||}|
Magic quotes is to prepare input for databases.
It **MAY** be possible to turn it off **BEFORE** the slashes get added
in your '.htaccess' file using:
php_value magic_quotes_gpc 0
php_value magic_quotes_sybase 0

I presume I am right in assuming that I can declare variables anywhere I like providing I have started a session on the page but I cannot actually use those variables until a post or some similar action has been performed by the user. No, you can use them right away - they are stored server-side, so you don't need to wait for a request/response loop before reading them: session_start(); $_SESSION['foo'] = 'bar'; echo $_SESSION['foo']; // 'foo' is available immediately No need to perform any special declarations. It's cookies that need to wait for a subsequent request to be available via getcookie(). Careful with your session variable naming - you may want to implement a primitive namespace, by using named arrays in $_SESSION, such as $_SESSION['auth']['username'] or $_SESSION['prefs']['boxers_or_briefs']. -mike. - michal migurski- contact info and pgp key: sf/cahttp://mike.teczno.com/contact.html -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

I am also wondering if I need to declare all my variables one after the other or can I simply declare variables that I will be using immediately upon submission. I'm not quite sure what your question is, but here's some info. You have to call session_start() before using anything in the session. This must be called before there is any output to the browser. After the call to session_start() you can get/set/unset any session value you want at any time in the script (all of this is stored on the server). The best way to do all of this is through the $_SESSION superglobal. Use it like a normal assicative array: $_SESSION['var'] = 'value'; or: $_SESSION['array'] = array(1, 2, 3, 4); os: $_SESSION['object'] = new Object(); Everything you put in there will be available from any function without having to use the global keyword or the $GLOBALS superglobal. Note that you can't store recources in the session (at least, they can't be used as resources on subsequent requests.)

I've noticed that in the last release of php 4.3.7 (or 5.0.0), that
when checking the value of a variable has changed.
ex:
if($var){ /* do something */ }
doesn't work anymore. I've had to change code to
if($var 0)
but the problem is, what if $var was converted to $var = 0 instead
of $var = 0 somewhere throughout the code that I didn't know about?
Is there a way to be sure what's going on here?

RE: [PHP] Detecting if browser is using a HTTP or HTTPS connection to view the page
Hi,
if ($_SERVER[HTTPS] != on) {
$newurl = https://; . $_SERVER[SERVER_NAME] .
$_SERVER[REQUEST_URI];
header(location: $newurl);
die;
}
That's how I do it..

Is there a way to detect if a browser is using a HTTPS or
HTTP. As i can get the scripts self and the host its running
off but i cannot seem to find a way to grab if the connection
is secure or not.

Re: [PHP] php 4.3.7/5.0
Well, the actual code is hard to tell. It's grabbed from a db so it
should be an int. But it's also run through some functions. That's why
I'd like a to tell what's going on better.
The variable is always set. Basically
$result = mssql_query($sql);
$row = mssql_fetch_array($result);
$var = $row[0];
So it should be an int. And if it's copied into a function it
shouldn't be changed.
But doing
if($var)
doesn't seem to work after I upgraded versions. Which is making me
think that they changed how that works.
And using is_string() or is_int() is pointless 'cause it doesn't
matter. I just want to know if the value != 0.
The problem is, if 0 gets changed to 0 somewhere throughout. That's
why I've always used if($var) because it's usually not cared what the
type is, but it seems to now.

This sounds an awful lot like the problem I experienced with PHP's Sybase extension
after upgrading to PHP 4.3.4. Is your query retrieving data from a bit field ('0'
or '1')? If so, you might want to read this:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-devm=108377430919818w=2
I never did get a response to it. I've had it on my TODO list to open it as a bug
for the longest time, but I haven't had a chance to come up with minimal reproduce
code and I frankly haven't had the time to deal with it. I managed to work around
the problem by maintaining a local patch to PHP to undo the change mentioned in my
post above. Let me know if this is your issue and I can explain more and/or provide
my simple patch.

You can typecast values as well, this may be a good way to achieve what
you are looking for:
if ((int)$var != 0) {
// Do Something
}
Also, if you are going to use this variable as an integer later you can
do the following to explicitly convert $var into an integer:
$var = (int)$var;
That should convert 0 into the integer value 0. Also, note the
following:
var_dump(0 == 0); //bool(true)
var_dump(0 === 0);//bool(false)

The code im using to test is:

{
print We are not using HTTPS;
}
else
{
print We are using HTTPS;
}
On my windows machine it works as expected with it displaying the correct
message when using https and http. When i use my linux box it constantly
displays We are using HTTPS what means the statement is evaluating as
false. When it should be true (as im currently viewing the page off a HTTP
connection)
Any ideas?

You want to specifically check for
$_SERVER[HTTPS] == on
because if you're not using HTTPS then $_SERVER[HTTPS] does not exist.

if($var != 0) or if($var != 0)
but that doesn't seem to work since I upgrade. So I'm just going to do
if((int)$var)
from now on, 'cause that should always work. I'll typecast everything

People are able to login and start using the site, but the login screen displays randomly after they've already authenticated successfully.

Re: [PHP] Opinion: PHP Sessions or Cookies
Sounds like it could be a permissions issue to /tmp, but that's not likely as some work and some don't. More likely, /tmp isn't big enough. Ask the provider to check to see if it's being filled up (you can also check yourself with the 'df' command on the command-line). It could also be an old version of PHP or the timeout settings for sessions. Check that stuff in phpinfo().

Re: [PHP] php 4.3.7/5.0
* Thus wrote Josh Close:
I'm positive that it will always be set, 'cause I set it. It's just
going the comparison.
if($var)
used to work for
if($var != 0) or if($var != 0)
but that doesn't seem to work since I upgrade. So I'm just going to do
if((int)$var)
I still think this is unnecessary
if (0) { echo '0'; }
if () { echo ''; }
if (0) { echo 0; }
As I pointed out earlier, are still all the same; this behaviour
hasn't changed.

RE: [PHP] encryption needed?
I wouldn't encrypt the ID, but I can't help wonder why you don't want people knowing the company's ID. They can get access to it if you're storing it client-side. This is like using a single script to view documents where you provide the ID of the document to display. http://localhost/view.php?ID=33 You end up needing a different way to reference which document should be displayed, if you don't want people to know the ID. In this case, I'd end up specifying the name of the document to display. http://localhost/view.php?Name=The%20Pizza%20Caper As you can see, you end up having to deal with spaces and other special characters in the name... Basically, I'd just use the ID and not worry about encrypting it, unless you have a good reason to do so. -Ed -Original Message- Is it ok to use the company-id or do I have to encrypt the id using mcrypt (takes some time)? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Re: encryption needed?
if there is a system of your id's, like 1.. 2... 3... 4.. and such, you should consider obfuscating the id's. Especially if you dont have any form of login system that serve the client the id they want. What you really should consider is having a login system that after the user is logged in you serve the user the correct content, and all from what is stored in the session. Meaning you dont need client side javascript or hidden forms at all. If the id's are unguessable however I wouldt care that much, on the other hand - is the information in mention sensitive? If so you are back to the login system again. -- Kim Steinhaug - There are 10 types of people when it comes to binary numbers: those who understand them, and those who don't. - www.steinhaug.com - www.easywebshop.no - www.easycms.no www.webkitpro.com - Klaus [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi all, I am to set up a service where users can view news of companies.

[PHP] Re: Opinion: PHP Sessions or Cookies
Sessions are the best thing to use, cookies are nice as a supplement. If you want your users to be able to auto-login cookies are just the thing to use, but apart from this cookies are not my favourite. Another thing is that many browsers nowaydays have turned cookies all off.. I remember a friend of mine did a supportsystem where the loggin system was pure cookies... Man - did their staff get a lot of support from people who didnt manage to logg into the system... As mentioned - this were users with cookies turned off As the other users mentioned, the /tmp folder might be out of space, however your provider might also have some custom setup on that server which screws up the /tmp folder here and there. I know for a fact one large provider here in Norway who has this problem on one of their servers due to a heavy site which from time to time sucks up resources resulting in the /tmp folder getting messed up. If you still havnt solved your problem, get your provider to move you to another of his servers (physically!), or change provider. You shouldnt be having theese problems. -- -- Kim Steinhaug - There are 10 types of people when it comes to binary numbers: those who understand them, and those who don't. - www.steinhaug.com - www.easywebshop.no - www.easycms.no www.webkitpro.com - Ed Lazor [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] I'm using PHP sessions for user tracking. My host provider's server is dropping session data. He swears it's my scripts and says I should be using cookies for better security. That goes completely opposite to my understanding, so I'd like to run it by you guys. Which is more secure: PHP sessions or cookies? In case you're curious, more details on the specifics of the problem I'm experiencing: I have a prepend file that executes start_session. The script assumes the user is a guest if $_SESSION[UserID] is not set. All guests route to the login screen. Successful authentication sets $_SESSION[UserID] and sends you to the original requested page. It seems fairly straight forward to me. People are able to login and start using the site, but the login screen displays randomly after they've already authenticated successfully. It sounds like PHP session data is being lost on the server. I've also seen error messages on web pages that report PHP / MySQL as having trouble reading from the temp directory. Here's the extact message: ERRORError writing file '/tmp/MYiYcf7q' (Errcode: 28). Anyway, those are the details. I look forward to hearing what you think. -Ed -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Re: PHP and Excel
I might be wrong, but if your client are using all the functions available in Excel Im pretty sure you wont get this to work. Ive tested a few of the Excel converters for PHP and they all work nice with simple Excel spreadsheets, but once you start doing it Excel style... Your on your own... If youre on a Win32 platform you might solve this nicely, since this gives you alot of possibilities with exec and such. But I wouldt spend to much time on this if the system is to run on a *nix system. I hope someone proove me wrong here, but theese are my findings. Possible there are some nasty good proprietary Excel systems out there?

Re: [PHP] Detecting if browser is using a HTTP or HTTPS connection to view the page
* Thus wrote Jamie:
The code im using to test is:
if ($_SERVER[HTTPS] == off)
{
print We are not using HTTPS;
}
else
{
print We are using HTTPS;
}
On my windows machine it works as expected with it displaying the correct
message when using https and http. When i use my linux box it constantly
displays We are using HTTPS what means the statement is evaluating as
false. When it should be true (as im currently viewing the page off a HTTP
connection)
The problem is that this HTTPS variable is not a standard variable
that has been defined.
Apache's SSL module will only set *a* value to HTTPS if in https is
being used. The value it sets just so happens to be 'on'
Windows servers (versions unkown) will set 'on' or 'off.
Other servers will use either 'on' or 'ON', with or without
corresponding 'off' or 'OFF'.
So, as just described, your best bet would be:
if (isset($_SERVER['HTTPS']) strtolower($_SERVER['HTTPS']) == 'on')
// https is on.
} else {
// off.
}
