When i try to insert - the problem is in the insertion. The message the

[PHP] Re: function problem
Hi,
Thank you for your reply!
I have changed the function like this:
function doReg($fname1=,$family1=,$company1=, $MOL1=, $dannum1=,
$bulstat1=, $phone1=, $email1=, $username1=, $password1=,
$payment1=, $maillist1=, $Addr1=, $City1=, $zipcode1=,

{
mysql_pconnect ($DB_SERVER, $DB_LOGIN, $DB_PASSWORD) or

mysql_select_db($DB) or die(mysql_error());
mysql_query( insert into users(name,family,company, MOL, taxnum, bulstat,

'$phone1', '$email1', '$username1', '$password1', '$payment1', '$maillist1',
'$Addr1', '$City1', '$zipcode1',
'$Country1','$shippingName1','$shippingFamily1',
'$shippingphone1','$shippingAddr1', '$shippingcity1', '$shippingzipcode1',
'$shippingCountry1')) or die (mysql_error());
}
I think that the problem is not in the insertion string because when write
the function body :
mysql_pconnect(.);
mysql_select_db($DB) or die(mysql_error());
mysql_query(insert into );
instead doReg() in register.php, everything works. I have inserted some data
in this way.
The problem is that A DATABASE is NOT SELECTED. This is the message when I
use doReg().
The register.php is in the DOCROOT-emagazine. In the subdirectory
script are common.inc and functions.php. In common.inc is this:
?php
$DB_SERVER=localhost;
$DB_LOGIN=admin;
$DB_PASSWORD=**;
$DB=emagazine;
$HTTP_HOST=localhost:3000;
$DOCROOT=emagazine;
?
Is it all right? I think that $DB=emagazine should work. Here I select
the $DB, which name is emagazine.
I don't understand what's going on:)
Thank you!

Re: [PHP] Calculate No Of Days
Hi Khuram
I use this function
function daysLeft($startDate,$endDate=false){
// convert to timestamps
$start_stamp = strtotime($startDate);
$end_stamp = ($endDate)?strtotime($endDate):time();
if($start_stamp $end_stamp){
// start date is passed end date
return 0;
}
$difference = $end_stamp - $start_stamp;
return floor($difference/(24*60*60));
}
echo daysleft(today, 01/05/2005);
Note, remeber to use the correct dat format otherwise you will see
some unexpected results.

Re: [PHP] Calculate No Of Days
Greetings!
I've posted this before, but there are always new readers so here's my script
solution. One of these days I'll make it a function or something, but this
should give you a good general idea of how to do such a thing in case you need
it again in the future.
btw: This also calculates hours, minutes, seconds, etc between two dates. I
start with date/times in string format just for ease of reading but you really
only need them in serial date/time format ($stimestamp and $etimestamp):
?php
# Standard format dates and times
$startdate = 10/30/02;
$starttime = 13:05:01;
$enddate = 12/30/03;
$endtime = 14:06:02;
# Break apart dates and times for mktime
list($smonth,$sday,$syear) = explode(/,$startdate);
list($emonth,$eday,$eyear) = explode(/,$enddate);
list($shour,$sminute,$ssecond) = explode(:,$starttime);
list($ehour,$eminute,$esecond) = explode(:,$endtime);
# Number of seconds in each timeframe, 1 month = 30 days
$secondsequiv = array(Years=31536000,
Months=2592000,
Days=86400,
Hours=3600,
Minutes=60);
# How many seconds between two dates/times
$stimestamp = mktime($shour,$sminute,$ssecond,$smonth,$sday,$syear);
$etimestamp = mktime($ehour,$eminute,$esecond,$emonth,$eday,$eyear);
$daydiff = $etimestamp - $stimestamp;
# Just to make sure I didn't use $remainder somewhere else in my script and
forgot
if (isset($remainder)) unset($remainder);
# Cycle through timeframes checking to see if number is large enough to be a
full year/month/day/etc
# If so, find out how many and store remainder for further processing
# If not, set to zero and continue processing
foreach ($secondsequiv as $timeframe=$seconds) {
if (isset($remainder)) { $checkvalue = $remainder; } else { $checkvalue =
$daydiff; }
if ($checkvalue = $seconds) {
$daydiffarr[$timeframe] = floor($checkvalue/$seconds);
$remainder = $daydiff % $seconds;
} else {
$daydiffarr[$timeframe] = 0;
}
}
# If $reminder is never used, then we're dealing with less than a minute's
worth of time diff
if (isset($remainder)) {
$daydiffarr[Seconds] = $remainder;
} else {
$daydiffarr[Seconds] = $daydiff;
}
# Display results
foreach ($daydiffarr as $timeframe=$count) {

Re: [PHP] How to argue with ASP people...
I was happy as an ASP developer - you can use MSXSL for XML processing, ADO for database, and the file scripting object for file processing. The weakness shows up when you want to do something that Microsoft has not built into ASP or JavaScript or the COM objects I just listed. You're stuck writing your own COM object in VB or C++. I was in a C++ shop and writing C++ COM components for use in ASP is just horrible. PHP has a much larger library. Try to find something you need to do that will require you to write a COM component if you use ASP, and it's built into PHP.

Is there any way at all to control this? I went into my PHP.ini file,
but my errors are set to E_ALL E_STRICT which seems to be the
highest level I can set.
If not I think we should seriously push for E_STRICT warnings if a
variable is used without every being assigned to.
I usally do something like this when I start a project, so I can
easily turn it back off later when my code goes production:
if( $debug )
{
error_reporting( E_ALL );
ini_set( 'display_errors', 1 );
ini_set( 'log_errors', 1 );
}
else
{
error_reporting( E_ERROR | E_WARNING | E_PARSE );
ini_set( 'display_errors', 0 );
}

Hi Pablo,
The method you are using to send the query is not a very secure method
(depending on how you run it.)
Based on the source code shown, I imagine you have something like this
code in excelListing3.php:
$buildQuery = $_GET['buildQuery'];
somedb_query($buildQuery);
What this means is that someone who knows your database structure can
type this into their web browser:
http://www.yourhost.com/excelListing3.php?buildQuery=DROP+DATABASE+yourdb
and your program will happily execute it.
Far better is to parameterize your queries and limit the possible input.
By this I mean to define a few queries that can be executed, and give
them numbers
A href=Extra/excelListing3.php?queryType=exportqueryVar1=?php echo
$queryVar1 ?queryVar2=?php echo $queryVar2 ?Export/A
switch ($_GET['queryType']) {
case 'export' :
$query = 'SELECT * FROM yourdb WHERE queryVar1=' .
mysql_escape_string($_GET['queryVar1']) . ' AND queryVar2=' .
mysql_escape_string($_GET['queryVar2']) . '';
}
and so on. I am assuming here that you are using mysql, but simply
substitute the appropriate escaping function for another database.
Web security hinges on ensuring that your allowed input is finite and
verifiable.

And there is no difference between PHP4 and PHP5 when it comes to a threaded Apache2, so your matrix there doesn't make much sense.

[PHP] Persistent PHP web application?
Dear list,
My web application (an online classifieds server) requires a set of
fairly large global arrays which contain vital information that most all
the page scripts rely upon for information such as the category list,
which fields belong to each category, and so on. Additionally, there are
a large number of function definitions (more than 13,000 lines of code
in all just for these global definitions).
These global arrays and functions never change between requests.
However, the PHP engine destroys and recreates them every time. After
having spent some serious time doing benchmarking (using Apache Bench),
I have found that this code takes at least 7ms to parse per request on
my dual Xeon 2.4ghz server (Zend Accelerator in use*). This seriously
cuts into my server's peak capacity, reducing it by more than half.
My question is: is there a way to define a global set of variables and
functions ONCE per Apache process, allowing each incoming hit to run a
handler function that runs within a persistent namespace? OR, is it
possible to create some form of shared variable and function namespace
that each script can tap?
AFAIK, mod_python, mod_perl, Java, etc. all allow you to create a
persistent, long-running application with hooks/handlers for individual
Apache requests. I'm surprised I haven't found a similar solution for
PHP.
In fact, according to my work in the past few days, if an application
has a large set of global functions and variable definitions, mod_python
FAR exceeds the performance of mod_php, even though Python code runs
significantly slower than PHP code (because in mod_python you can put
all these definitions in a module that is loaded only once per Apache
process).
The most promising prospect I've come across is FastCGI, which for Perl
and other languages, allows you to run a while loop that sits and
receives incoming requests (e.g. while(FCGI::accept() = 0) {..}).
However, the PHP/FastCGI modality seems to basically compare to mod_php:
every request still creates and destroys the entire application
(although the PHP interpreter itself does persist).
Essentially I want to go beyond a persistent PHP *interpreter* (mod_php,
PHP/FastCGI) and create a persistent PHP *application*... any
suggestions?
Thanks in advance for any help!
Regards,
J. Whiting
* - Please note that I am using the Zend Accelerator (on Redhat
Enterprise with Apache 1.3) to cache the intermediate compiled PHP code.
My benchmarks (7ms+) are after the dramatic speedup provided by the
accelerator. I wouldn't even bother benchmarking this without the
compiler cache, but it is clear that a compiler cache does not prevent
PHP from still having to run the (ableit precompiled) array and function
definition code itself.

$num_sessions = count(glob(session_save_path() . '/sess_*'));

It will be fairly active so long as your garbage collection is triggered

You could convert that to a POST quite easily:

INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME=buildQuery VALUE=?php echo $buildQuery?
INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT VALUE=Export
/FORM
NOTES:
This is only nominally more secure than the GET argument version.
Anybody with half a clue (okay a tenth of a clue) can use View Source in
their browser to see your query.
DEFINITELY follow Greg's advice and pass in *ONLY* the variables to your
query, and go even further and check what comes in to be sure it looks
like what you expect. For example, if you expect an integer, type-cast
the value you get to an integer. If it should be positive, check that it
*IS* positive. If there are only a limited number of valid values for a
given input, make sure it fits.
Examples:
?php
//A MySQL record id: (positive integer)
$record_id = (int) isset($_POST['record_id']) ? $_POST['record_id'] : NULL;
if (!$record_id || $record_id 1){
//Log the actual bogus input, so you can figure out what the
//bad guy is trying to do. Or what mistake you made sending the data.
$invalid = @$_POST['record_id'];
trigger_error(Invalid record ID: $invalid, E_USER_ERROR);
}
//A limited selection from radio/select/checkbox:
$colors = array('red', 'blue', 'green');
$color = isset($_POST['color']) ? $_POST['color'} : NULL;
if (!in_array($color, $colors)){
trigger_error(Invalid color: $color, E_USER_ERROR);
}
?
For text chunks, use http://php.net/preg to filter out anything except
what's a kosher character in what you expect people to type.
Also use http://php.net/strlen to see if it's a reasonable length.
For uploaded files, use the file-system 'file' command to see if it looks
right For images, a simple http://php.net/getimagesize will be easier
than that, and about as good, maybe even better.
You CANNOT trust the data coming into your site from a browser.
Sooner or later somebody will decide to mess with you.
Protect yourself.

These global arrays and functions never change between requests. However, the PHP engine destroys and recreates them every time. After having spent some serious time doing benchmarking (using Apache Bench), I have found that this code takes at least 7ms to parse per request on my dual Xeon 2.4ghz server (Zend Accelerator in use*). This seriously cuts into my server's peak capacity, reducing it by more than half. My question is: is there a way to define a global set of variables and functions ONCE per Apache process, allowing each incoming hit to run a handler function that runs within a persistent namespace? OR, is it possible to create some form of shared variable and function namespace that each script can tap? Run it as a SOAP server, and have the web requests communicate with the SOAP server. That way you can keep the heavy-hitting stuff in memory, but still maintain the flexibility of a traditional PHP web app. PHP5 has native soap functions (http://php.net/soap), but you could also use the PEAR SOAP libraries (http://pear.php.net/packages/soap). -- Matthew Weier O'Phinney | mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Webmaster and IT Specialist | http://www.garden.org National Gardening Association| http://www.kidsgardening.com 802-863-5251 x156 | http://nationalgardenmonth.org -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Register Globals=ON
HarryG wrote:
Which process is better to use in PHP?
Having register_globals=on and referring to variables as if($name){} or
using $_GET $_POST statements like if(isset($_GET['name']))?
What is the main advantage/disadvantage in both cases.
The only advantage in register_globals = ON is a slight convenience factor
in using: $foo instead of $_GET['foo'].
The disadvantages include:
#1: Major security issue. This is documented with a clear-cut example at:
http://us3.php.net/register_globals
Read this page, and re-read this page, and keep asking questions until you
COMPLETELY understand the issue.
#1a: It's possible that you're a PERFECT programmer and would never write
code like this... But then you go installing that PHP forum, or database
abstraction class, or enhanced (cough, cough) email sending class or ...
and you have to rely on the OTHER guy being a perfect programmer... Not
gonna happen, my friend. Turn register_globals OFF
#2: Your code should be self-documenting in terms of WHERE the variables
come from. $foo tells me nothing about where it came from. $_GET['foo']
tells me it came from the URL after the ? with a ?foo=xxx. $_POST['foo']
tells me it came from a form with some kind of INPUT tag with NAME=foo
(or possibly NAME=foo[] or even NAME=foo[index] . You can even use
$_REQUEST['foo'] to indicate that your script happily accepts either POST
or GET data.
#3: I've never seen it measured, but I suppose there is some
infinitesimally small performance advantage to register_globals = OFF,
since then PHP doesn't have to loop through and set all the values...
This is a non-issue unless you are passing a *TON* of variables through
HTTP, which is probably a Bad Idea (tm) in the first place.

It would probably be more realistic to add some kind of 'where' clause which counts only people active in the last N seconds/minutes, for MOST sessions. It all depends on your application's needs, of course, but most applications probably have sessions that live a fairly long time for the convenience of the user who walks away and comes back after not TOO long a time, but that person can not realistically be reported as on-line if you want an idea of how active the application is.

Re: [PHP] Total Server Sessions
$num_sessions = count(glob(session_save_path() . '/sess_*'));
echo There are about {$num_sessions} active sessions.;
It will be fairly active so long as your garbage collection is triggered
fairly often.
it is worth noting that this doesn't work if you are using the recursive
directory structure method to store sessions, or any other session
storage method other than the default (in-memory sessions, database
sessions, etc). and on a shared host, you may be counting the total
number of sessions for all the virtual hosts on the server. also, on a
shared host, it is usually up the sysadmins how PHP stores sessions, so
your mileage may vary.

Re: [PHP] handling large files w/readfile
Sebastian wrote: yea. all the files aren't 100MB though.. some are 2mb (even less) while some files are over 300MB as well. so, does this need to be adjusted depending on the filesize? I believe that at a certain point, your setting there will be worse for the system if you make it too big instead of too small, regardless of the filesize to be written/read. This is because no matter how big your file is, there are buffers all along the chain of events between http://php.net/fread and the actual electrical signals re-aligning the magnetic spots on your hard drive disc. You're defining a buffer for fread. PHP may have an internal buffer in a layer deeper than that (probably not, but *could* have one) The C library may have a buffer in the next layer down. Again, probably not, but it *could* have one. The library inside the OS that the C library is calling maybe has a buffer. The OS File System that the OS library calls probably has a buffer. The physical hardware almost for sure has a buffer, probably several. If you have fancy hardware and/or RAID software, then there are even more buffers involved. And, of course, the RAM available to PHP at the time of doing this work will drastically affect performance -- If your server is loaded, and this fread with your (possibly over-sized) buffer forces PHP and/or the OS to swap something in/out to the hard drive, then you are going to KILL your system. At every step of the way, the data being buffered in a faster/cheaper storage medium will have an effect on your performance. Hopefully, for most uses, that is an overall Good effect. But nobody on Earth can tell you for sure for sure that it's all optimum for *YOUR* application's needs on *YOUR* hardware. So given your OS, and your hard drive and your file system, and your files, and the usual load on your server (RAM) there is some ideal number for that collection of hardware/software that you use. The only way to find your ideal number is to trial and error benchmark it. I'd try numbers that match up with: the cache size on the hard drive any internal buffers in PHP's fread() functions any buffer in your File System and/or OS of choice very large numbers very small numbers a random assortment of nice numbers (1Mb 2Mb 4Mb ...) Now, if your code has to run on LOTS of different hardware, you'd want to benchmark on as many different sets of hardware as you can to find the ideal number for *most* hardware. Or, you could, I suppose, try to write a system that detects certain specific categories of hardware/software and choose your buffer size based on that. Now, having said all that, the difference to the performance for MOST applications is going to be negligible. Find a number that works fast enough for your application (with reasonable testing/benchmarking) and move on with life. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Though I suppose if you created all of this as classes, and instantiated a class and dumped a singleton into shared memory, you MIGHT trick PHP into keeping all its class definitions and whatnot in RAM instead of loading from the hard drive... You could also patch Apache and get all your data into your Apache $_SERVER space, or you could (I think) hack your Apache user's shell and get all the data into their shell environment $_ENV. Those would be a bit more hack-y than using shared memory, but they technically fit what you describe... PHP/FastCGI) and create a persistent PHP *application*... any suggestions? This part here suggests an entirely different approach... Depending on your application, you could also consider running a loop in PHP which responds to requests on sockets. http://us4.php.net/manual/en/ref.sockets.php You could then define your own server protocol -- Kind of like making up your own HTTP/FTP/RPC rules for your own specific application. So if what your application mostly does is load in all this data and respond to requests, you could write a *SINGLE* PHP application which listened on port 12345 (or whatever port you like) and responded with the data requested. Like writing your own web-server, only it's a _-server where you get to fill in the blank with whatever your application does. * - Please note that I am using the Zend Accelerator (on Redhat Enterprise with Apache 1.3) to cache the intermediate compiled PHP code.

To Summarize: The solution that most closely approximates what you think you want is shared memory features in PHP. The solution that might lead to a much better application would be to segment the data and functions needed into smaller files, and only suck in the ones you REALLY need.

http://php.net/mysql_error

If it wasn't MySQL you were using, but something else in some other code,

Get in the habit of not only checking for errors, but LOGGING them
somewhere and reviewing those logs.
You can use:
http://php.net/error_log to do like this:
error_log(__FILE__ . ': ' __LINE__ . ' ' . @mysql_error() . $query );
Or you could even get serious and use http://php.net/error_handler with
http://php.net/trigger_error to catch and log all errors.
By default, your errors will be in the Apache error_log file (usually
/usr/local/apache/logs/error_log) but you can send them any place you
want.

[PHP] Help with pack unpack functions
Hello All,
I am trying to write some PHP code that will act as a client to a
homegrown server interface developed in C. The client/server interfaces
exchange data using two C structures defined as:
/* struct for client requests to server */
struct client_request {
char stringA[20];
char stringB[17];
char stringC[10];
char stringD[7];
char stringE[200];
char stringF[12];
char stringG[11];
char stringH[50];
char stringI[11];
short numA;
short numB;
};
/* struct for server replies to client */
#define REPLY_MSG_SIZE 4000
struct reply_msg {
short numA;
short numB;
short numC;
short data_len;
char data[REPLY_MSG_SIZE + 1];
};
I am able to use pack() successfully to post a request message to the
server, but the unpack() function never seems to work on the reply
message struct that gets returned to the client.
Here's my example of the pack() function that works correctly:
$p = pack(a20a17a10a7a200a12a11a50a11ss, $strA, $strB, $strC,
$strD, $strE, $strF,
$strG, $strH, $strI,
$numA, $numB);
$fp = fsockopen($host, $port);
if ($fp) {
$serv_stat = fgets($fp, 3);
}
if ($serv_stat == UP) { // server connected and awaiting msg...
$nb = fwrite($fp, $p, strlen($p));
print(Wrote $nb bytes.\n);
$servResp = fread($fp, 3);
print([ . $servResp . ]\n);
}
Now once the server receives the request successfully (which it does),
it will reply back to the client using the second struct, and this is
where I begin having problems with unpack():
.
.
.
do {
if (false == ($buf = socket_read($msgsock, 2048,
PHP_BINARY_READ))) {
echo socket_read() failed: reason: . socket_strerror($ret)
. \n;
break 2;
}
if (!$buf = trim($buf)) {
continue;
} else {
printf(Read %d bytes.\n, strlen($buf));
$format =
@0/sval0/@1/sval1/@2/sval2/@3/sval3/@4/sval4/@5/sval5/@6/C*;
$respData = unpack($format, $buf);
print_r($respData);
}
}
.
.
.
My first thought was that it had something to do with the endian-ess
between the client machine and the server system. But, I have tried just
about every possible combination of formatting codes, all to no avail.
The client is a Solaris SPARC platform and the server is running on a
mainframe (big endian).
What is strange is that I can always get the char data[] structure
member, and sometimes I get meaningful data in a few of the shorts, but
never all of the structure's members at the same time.
Any help is appreciated.

AFAIK, mod_python, mod_perl, Java, etc. all allow you to create a
persistent, long-running application with hooks/handlers for individual
Apache requests. I'm surprised I haven't found a similar solution for
PHP.
In fact, according to my work in the past few days, if an application
has a large set of global functions and variable definitions, mod_python
FAR exceeds the performance of mod_php, even though Python code runs
significantly slower than PHP code (because in mod_python you can put
all these definitions in a module that is loaded only once per Apache
process).
The most promising prospect I've come across is FastCGI, which for Perl
and other languages, allows you to run a while loop that sits and
receives incoming requests (e.g. while(FCGI::accept() = 0) {..}).
However, the PHP/FastCGI modality seems to basically compare to mod_php:
every request still creates and destroys the entire application
(although the PHP interpreter itself does persist).
Essentially I want to go beyond a persistent PHP *interpreter* (mod_php,
PHP/FastCGI) and create a persistent PHP *application*... any
suggestions?
PHP's model is to be completely sandboxed such that every request is
completely separate from every other. Having a persistent interpreter
as you describe would break that rule and break the infinite horizontal
scalability model of PHP.
Of course, there is nothing that prevents you from storing persistent
data somewhere more permanent. If it is just simple read-only data you
have a lot of options. For example, you could put them in a .ini file
that is only loaded on Apache startup and use get_cfg_var() to fetch
them. If you compile PHP with the --with-config-file-scan-dir switch to
configure a configuration scan directory you can just drop your own ini
file in that directory and it will be read on startup. This is just
key=value pairs and not PHP code, of course.
If you need to do something fancier you can stick things in shared
memory. Many of the accelerators give you access to their shared memory
segments. For example, the CVS version of pecl/apc provides apc_store()
and apc_fetch() which lets you store PHP datatypes in shared memory
directly without needing to serialize/unserialize them.
And finally, the big hammer is to write your own PHP extension. This is
a lot easier than people think and for people who are really looking for
performance this is the only way to go. You can write whatever code you
want in your MINIT hook which only gets called on server startup and in
that hook you can create whatever persistent variables you need, pull
stuff from a DB, etc. At the same time you will likely want to pull
some of your heavier business logic identified by your profiling into
the extension as well. This combination of C and PHP is extremely hard
to beat performance-wise regardless of what you compare it to.

The Location header is for a document that has *MOVED* to a new URL.
Your document has not moved.
Actually, untrue. From the W3C HTTP 1.1 specs:
The Location response-header field is used to redirect the recipient
to a location other than the Request-URI for completion of the
request or identification of a new resource.
Yes, one of its primary uses is for 3xx errors, and it is used in that
arena to indicate a change in a page's location. However, it can also be
used in 2xx responses to indicate a page dynamically created for the
request or simply to indicate that a 'pass-thru' was used in the
request.
It's a very common practice in web application programming -- not just
PHP, but the field in general -- after a successful form submission to
redirect to another page. Doing so can help prevent back-button issues
when forms need to be filled out in series -- for example, when you
don't want duplicate records created in the database.

Re: [PHP] Re: function problem
If you were trying to use the result from mysql_pconnect() as the second
optional argument to mysql_query() in your function, be sure you declare
it 'global' inside the function.
Read PHP docs on variable scope if this is what tripped you up.
If not, I have no idea why the database is not selected, but you can now
focus on figuring out where/when it got selected, and where/when it got
un-selected, and there may even be a query you could send to ask MySQL
what database it thinks you are using. Sprinkle a lot of those through
your code to find out where it changes from what you expect to not

The problem is that A DATABASE is NOT SELECTED. This is the message when

$DB_PASSWORD=**;
$DB=emagazine;
$HTTP_HOST=localhost:3000;
$DOCROOT=emagazine;

Is it all right? I think that $DB=emagazine should work. Here I select
the $DB, which name is emagazine.
I don't understand what's going on:)

Re: [PHP] Help with pack unpack functions
What is strange is that I can always get the char data[] structure
member, and sometimes I get meaningful data in a few of the shorts, but
never all of the structure's members at the same time.
Do you consistently get the same problems on the FIRST record returned?
Anything after that is suspect, as you may be so far off-sequence that the
rest are meaningless.
What data do you actually get for the first record?
Also, call me crazy, but, like, aren't you THROWING AWAY most of your
buffer?...
Or, in this case, reading only HALF (roughly) of a record at a time.
You read 2048 bytes.
You trim it (probably a bad idea)...
You try to unpack all 2048 bytes as if it was a single record.
You ignore anything after that in the buffer, and loop to get 2048 more
bytes.
But each record you receive is supposedly:
short+short+short+short+REPLY_MSG_SIZE+1 bytes long.
2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 4000 + 1
4009
bytes for a single record.
I think you want something more like this:
$socket_buffer = '';
$parse_buffer = '';
$format = @0/sval0/@1/sval1/@2/sval2/@3/sval3/@4/sval4/@5/sval5/@6/C*;
while ($socket_buffer = socket_read($msgsock, 2048, PHP_BINARY_READ)){
if (false == $little_buffer){
//Your $ret was not defined...
echo Failed socket read , socket_strerror(socket_last_error($msgsock));
//If you are gonna keep going, clear the socket error.
socket_clear_error($msgsock);
break 2;
}
$parse_buffer .= $socket_buffer;
$socket_buffer = '';
//Now parse whatever we've got so far, leaving behind any partial record,
//but only if we've got at least one full record to start with.
while (strlen($parse_buffer) = 4009)){
$record = unpack($format, $parse_buffer);
print_r($record);
$parse_buffer = substr($parse_buffer, 4009); //4010?
}
}
The point being that you can't expect to get a full record when you only
read 2048 bytes at a time, and then you can't expect to find record
boundaries if you then parse only half of a record and move on to the
next record when you only got half a record, and then at that point
you're getting just under half of the first record, plus a little bit of
the second record...
Actually, since you know each record is exactly 4009 bytes long, you might
wanna change your buffer size from 2048 to 4009 (or 4010 if that's what
works) and simplify the code a lot.
Course, if they ever re-define #define REPLY_MSG_SIZE 4000 then you'll
have to adjust, so you probably should express everything in terms of your
own REPLY_MSG_SIZE as well, using a http://php.net/define and then writing
things like REPLY_MSG_SIZE + 8 or REPLY_MSG_SIZE + 8 + 1 for the places
where you need to add to get to the byte you want.
Hope all of that makes sense and is of some use...

Re: [PHP] php vs java....
GH wrote: Can you please explain Threads to me? Well, you start with some sheep... :-) Real Answer: [with gross simplifiations and outright lies to keep things easy] Imagine that you have a program that wants to SEEM to be doing multiple things at once. For example, it wants to have a background window downloading and checking email with a nice progress bar, while in the front window, you are reading your email, deleting the junk, writing email, etc but *NOT* waiting for the download to finish. So, in essence, your program has two little separate programs running inside of it, even though it's really really only one program. Those two little programs are called threads And once you can have two threads, there ain't nothing to stop you from having three, four, or a hundred threads... In theory. You're going to run out of system resources like RAM and stuff at some point. Now, on the plus side, that makes it possible to do certain things that were not feasible before. Like having two things going on at once On the downside, there is some overhead for each thread just to run. And really really only *ONE* thread can be truly running on the processor at any given time. Multiple CPUs increase the number of threads that can run, at least in theory, but you can only run one thread at one time in one processor. So a Xeon Quad could have four truly simultaneous threads going at one time, all from the same program. The bigger downside is that writing good threads that don't step on each others' toes is REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY HARD. They add huge major complexities to your code base, because EVERY line of code in thread A has to worry about what it *MIGHT* do that *MIGHT* screw up the code in thread B. So, take the number of lines in your program, times the number of lines in your program, and that's the number of potential flaws you have to watch out for. :-) Threads complicate the ability to scale your application by only throwing more hardware at it (as Rasmus just said). So hard, that many (all?) PHP Core Team Members don't think adding threads is a Good Idea (tm) because the benefits are outweighed by the costs for the target audience of PHP scripters. Other languages have other features, and the language designers have made informed (or not) desicions to add (or not) those features. I personally don't think PHP *needs* threads, and it would complicate far too many things if they were added -- certainly they shouldn't just be on automatically so PHP scripters can start making threads willy-nilly! That way lies madness. You'd have a zillion BAD scripts out there using threads in wildly inappropriate situations. I suppose that a 'thread' extension could be added, at least in theory... By all means, those of you who want such a feature are free to start coding :-) -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] Help with pack unpack functions
First, let me say thanks for responding. My other responses are embedded
within your reply:
What is strange is that I can always get the char data[] structure
member, and sometimes I get meaningful data in a few of the shorts, but
never all of the structure's members at the same time.
Do you consistently get the same problems on the FIRST record returned?
Yes.
Anything after that is suspect, as you may be so far off-sequence that the
rest are meaningless.
What data do you actually get for the first record?
Depends on what formatting I use with the unpack, but I've been able to
get one of the shorts to contain an expected value. I kept the
description short and didn't include the fact that most of the server
responses are much less than the 4K buffer size. But in all cases I seem
to get the char data that appears in the 4K buffer.
Also, call me crazy, but, like, aren't you THROWING AWAY most of your
buffer?...
Well, the code snippet is from a proof of concept. I could easily write
a C-lang client, call it from a PHP exec() call, etc, etc... BUT, that
doesn't help us determine if we can use PHP for this purpose. So, at
this point I don't really care, but I see why you would question my
logic.
Or, in this case, reading only HALF (roughly) of a record at a time.
You read 2048 bytes.
You trim it (probably a bad idea)...
This was robbed from a prior example on www.php.net, but I can remove it
to see if it helps.
You try to unpack all 2048 bytes as if it was a single record.
You ignore anything after that in the buffer, and loop to get 2048 more
bytes.
But each record you receive is supposedly:
short+short+short+short+REPLY_MSG_SIZE+1 bytes long.
2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 4000 + 1
4009
bytes for a single record.
I think you want something more like this:
$socket_buffer = '';
$parse_buffer = '';
$format = @0/sval0/@1/sval1/@2/sval2/@3/sval3/@4/sval4/@5/sval5/@6/C*;
while ($socket_buffer = socket_read($msgsock, 2048, PHP_BINARY_READ)){
if (false == $little_buffer){
//Your $ret was not defined...
echo Failed socket read , socket_strerror(socket_last_error($msgsock));
//If you are gonna keep going, clear the socket error.
socket_clear_error($msgsock);
break 2;
}
$parse_buffer .= $socket_buffer;
$socket_buffer = '';
//Now parse whatever we've got so far, leaving behind any partial record,
//but only if we've got at least one full record to start with.
while (strlen($parse_buffer) = 4009)){
$record = unpack($format, $parse_buffer);
print_r($record);
$parse_buffer = substr($parse_buffer, 4009); //4010?
}
}
The point being that you can't expect to get a full record when you only
read 2048 bytes at a time, and then you can't expect to find record
boundaries if you then parse only half of a record and move on to the
next record when you only got half a record, and then at that point
you're getting just under half of the first record, plus a little bit of
the second record...
Makes some sense, I just didn't see it to be a problem at this point,
but maybe it is... I also think that the server is NULL padding the
buffer up to the 4K limit after all of the text is stored in it. (I'll
have to check to validate my theory here).
Actually, since you know each record is exactly 4009 bytes long, you might
wanna change your buffer size from 2048 to 4009 (or 4010 if that's what
works) and simplify the code a lot.

where you need to add to get to the byte you want.
Always a good idea for production code...They in this case is ME
anyway! So I'll have no one to blame but myself should this ever occur.
Hope all of that makes sense and is of some use...
Make sense, don't know if it'll help yet, but I'm fixin to try some of
your suggestions. Thanks again.

Re: [PHP] newbie.. $_GET $_POST
Yes, very true. When dealing with externally provided data in your
script, always assume first that data is tainted, and make sure it
isn't before you try to do anything with it. Follow Richard Greg's
advice on checking your data. You could also use some kind of
priveleged authentication thing, if the page you are using doesn't
have to be publicly accessible. But, ALWAYS check data before sending
it to the DB.

In the destination page, I capture it with $_GET and that´s it.
I want to know if there is any way of doing it without showing the

You could convert that to a POST quite easily:
FORM ACTION=Extra/excelListing3.php METHOD=POST
INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME=buildQuery VALUE=?php echo $buildQuery?
INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT VALUE=Export
/FORM
NOTES:
This is only nominally more secure than the GET argument version.
Anybody with half a clue (okay a tenth of a clue) can use View Source in
their browser to see your query.
DEFINITELY follow Greg's advice and pass in *ONLY* the variables to your
query, and go even further and check what comes in to be sure it looks
like what you expect. For example, if you expect an integer, type-cast
the value you get to an integer. If it should be positive, check that it
*IS* positive. If there are only a limited number of valid values for a
given input, make sure it fits.
Examples:
?php
//A MySQL record id: (positive integer)
$record_id = (int) isset($_POST['record_id']) ? $_POST['record_id'] : NULL;
if (!$record_id || $record_id 1){
//Log the actual bogus input, so you can figure out what the
//bad guy is trying to do. Or what mistake you made sending the data.
$invalid = @$_POST['record_id'];
trigger_error(Invalid record ID: $invalid, E_USER_ERROR);
}
//A limited selection from radio/select/checkbox:
$colors = array('red', 'blue', 'green');
$color = isset($_POST['color']) ? $_POST['color'} : NULL;
if (!in_array($color, $colors)){
trigger_error(Invalid color: $color, E_USER_ERROR);
}
?
For text chunks, use http://php.net/preg to filter out anything except
what's a kosher character in what you expect people to type.
Also use http://php.net/strlen to see if it's a reasonable length.
For uploaded files, use the file-system 'file' command to see if it looks
right For images, a simple http://php.net/getimagesize will be easier
than that, and about as good, maybe even better.
You CANNOT trust the data coming into your site from a browser.
Sooner or later somebody will decide to mess with you.

Re: [PHP] How to argue with ASP people...
I'm a passionate freak of PHP from the past 4 years (that i can remember). And i love everything that php can do. But just 2 days ago i came along a situation where i have to write a hit counter for my website without using a database or a text file. Just using a global variable i wanted to do this. I dont know whether php can do this...(or may b i missed it out)...but i couldnt get any equivalent thing in php like we have GLOBAL.ASA in ASP. /sagar - Original Message - From: M Saleh EG [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: John Sands [EMAIL PROTECTED]; php-general@lists.php.net Sent: Tuesday, January 04, 2005 11:14 AM Subject: Re: [PHP] How to argue with ASP people... Not to offend u or backup ASP but ur just wrong... You said: You can't actually create a class. That's not true! u might not be knowing the syntax of creating a class in vb or js script. Sorry but this is the truth my friend.
