[PHP] Global Variables
Hi all. I taught myself PHP before the frenzy over register_globals. After a reasonable break from the language, I'm back for more. I'm building a site where I'll be holding a lot of variables in memory for each session. How do I do that? Apparently I can't use session_register() if register_globals is turned off. I've read a little about the consequences of writing bad scripts with register_globals on ... I'm fine with this explanation. I agree that I don't want people injecting variables into my session. What I want is for ME to be able to set variables and remember them throughout the session. How do I do that?

Thanks in advance :) ActiveState's Komodo ( http://www.activestate.com ) is very good. It handles Perl, PHP, HTML, XML, Python, and a whole lot of other things too. It does Perl and PHP debuggin, which is a godsend. I *think* it's about $25 for a 'home' type of license, which covers you for making open-source stuff. Otherwise you need a commercial license. I know a lot of people kick up a stink about non-free software, but ActiveState are pretty good as companies come, and Komodo really is cool. It's based on Mozilla, and cross-platform ( a little - Win32 and Linux, no OS-X ). Otherwise, there's bluefish ( gtk2-based ) , which does a very nice job of syntax highlighting etc, and it's open-source. I used it for ages until I decided a needed a debugger that didn't suck.

Re: [PHP] Global Variables
As far as I know, it's not true you can't use session variables if register_globals is off, the difference is that you must acces session variables using $_SESSION['variablename'], that's is an assurance that a session variable is a REAL session variable, and that it is not set using for example a faked form. hope this is a correct answer and it helps you, Giulio Il giorno 28/apr/05, alle 11:06 AM, Dan ha scritto: Hi all.

Yes and no - the no part is that you cannot force the browser to not show this window, you just don't have that level of control. The yes part is that it only appears based on the browsers intelligence in scanning the name of your form fields. Change username and password to something, well.. more obtuse, and it often gets rid of the problem. Give it a shot and see which combination works for you.

Re: [PHP] Is it possible to save a file with UTF-8 encoding and noBOM using PHP?
Wow, nice to hear from the guy who created PHP! :) I need to make 2 things clearer though: 1. First I want to know how to make the actual binary file that is written, to be encoded as UTF-8. This is my PRIMARY question. 2. How to have fwrite write the file without the BOM. (to make it more compatible with certain XML parsers -per the W3C's recommendation). No matter what I do to the strings to encode them in whatever format before using fwrite, it ALWAYS seems to end up writing the actual file in iso-8859-1. Isn't the encoding of the characters in PHP's strings, and the encoding of the actual binary file on your hard drive, two totally different things? Or am I just misinformed? Example: When I open up Windows Notepad, then I type some stuff into it, and then I choose file, save as, encoding: UTF-8, then I click save. So how do I do this SAME thing using PHP? Could someone give me a actual code example of how to do that? I'm just s lost. How do you actually control the way the binary file itself is written, and not just the text that is saved in the file?

Does PHP do anything like this? I am a beginner with PHP, but very technically experienced otherwise. I'm talking about the FILE encoding here -just to be clear. e.g. fopen(what_ever_file, a+) now I want PHP save the file itself with UTF-8, NOT system default. I have searched for hours to find an answer, but have not found any info on the subject. Does PHP have any ability to create a text file saved in UTF-8 encoding??? Maybe I'm just being dumb, but I think if you UTF-8 encode your data, and http://php.net/fwrite it, you're gonna get what you want... Dunno about the Byte-Order-Mark part, but I guess you could strip it out of the UTF-8 encoded data before writing, if you wanted to. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm That was the first thing I tried, and it doesn't seem to work (it always saves in windows default encoding). Unless I missing something about what you can do with fwrite. Did you actually test that before you replied, and found that it would? If so, how? The Byte Order Mark is a part of the binary file that is written, how would one go about stripping it out?? BTW, note to PHP developers: If fwrite had a encoding parameter, e.g. UTF-8, that would be REALLY handy. Strings in PHP are binary-safe and character-encoding neutral. fwrite doesn't have a clue what it is writing, it just writes what is in memory. I'd question why you would want to strip the BOM. Any modern system deals with the byte-order-mark correctly. But you can simply strip it manually if it is present in the first 2 bytes before your fwrite if you really need to get rid of it. -Rasmus -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] php/pear question
I'm trying to get pear up and running, and I can't get it to work. I've tried it on a couple of different systems: fedora c2 and c3 with php 4.3.10 I can run pear from the shell, install new modules (pager, html_quickform,...) but when ever I try using any pear code in a php script with the appropriate includes/require (require_once 'DB.php';) nothing in the php block of the script gets executed. No error is thrown, and there is nothing in any of the server log files to indicate what the problem might be. I suspect that the include path is the problem. But even with setting the include path via the php script making the pear reference, still no joy. Has anyone ever run into this? Any suggestions for an alternative to pear if it continues to be problematic? I've looked into phplib, but it seems dated and I've read where it looks like there is or was plans to merge phplib into pear.

you can only assign 'basic' values (types) to vars in the class definition
(so no function calls) . e.g:
class T
{
var $a = 'a';
var $b = 2;
var $c = array('whatisthis' = 'er?');
var $d = false;

what you want to do should be done in the constructor (aka ctor)
class T
{
var $textInicio;

*/
function T()

no. I believe the reasoning is that allowing you to define class vars with
return
vals from functions opens the door to endless possibilities of weird side
effects when
you load in the class. e.g:
class T
{
var $reconfigured = sometimesCompletelyReconfigureTheWebserver();
var $filesystemdeleted = recursiveDel('/');
}
you can imagine what kind of havoc the 2 imaginary functions may cause just by
loading
the class T - I believe that the php devs want to avoid nightmares/confusion
(especially for
'average' php coders) by not allowing this kind of syntax/[var-]definition.
besides which there
are probably scope issues - imagine you want to pass a var to
sometimesCompletelyReconfigureTheWebserver()
... what is the scope of the var, where does it come from?

Re: [PHP] Is it possible to save a file with UTF-8 encoding and noBOM using PHP?
1. First I want to know how to make the actual binary file that is written, to be encoded as UTF-8. This is my PRIMARY question. I think this part is the key. If the string originated from your text editor, then your text editor needs to be in UTF-8 mode. If you are importing the data from a file or database then you need to be sure that the data is UTF-8 encoded. If you know that the encoding is instead ISO-8859-1 then you can convert it to UTF-8 with the php function utf_encode. fwrite will then write out the bytes that you presented to it. I guess the same applies in reverse when you read the file back in to the application that will view the text. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] Skipping function arguments!
Well that was simple, but this is what i am trying to solve:
if you refer to the php documentation for ldap_open() function it says:
resource ldap_search ( resource link_identifier, string base_dn,
string filter [, array attributes [, int attrsonly [, int sizelimit [,
int timelimit [, int deref])
if you look at the 4th and the 6th arguments to the function
attributes is an array while sizelimit is an int, i want to pass the
sixth element without passing the 4th and the 5th ... how do i do
that??
i tried these options:
# this does not work,
$rs=ldap_search($con,o=vodoo.com,(objectClass*),array(),0,500);
# this wont works :((
$rs=ldap_search($con,o=vodoo.com,(objectClass*),' ',0,500);
# this also goofs!
$rs=ldap_search($con,o=vodoo.com,(objectClass*),NULL,0,500);
here that 5th arg works if i pass a zero as ... 0 means the default behaviour!!
any ideas ... clues ?

OK. But even so add($a,$b,$c) !== add($a = null, $b = null, $c = null)
;)
?php
function add($a,$b,$c){
These arguments ($a, $b, and $c) are all *required* arguments. If you
definition was:
function add($a, $b = null, $c = null)
Then you don't have to pass *any* arguments *except* for the first one.
return $a+$b+$c ;
}
echo add(2,null,3);
# even if you pass the value of $b in the url as a get or post

?
The variables inside a function are not in the global scope so you are
ok here. However if you ever plan on calling this function with
uninitialized variables then it is quite likely some fool is going to do
what I previously suggested, i.e.
?php
/** Page called with ?a=22 appended to URL */
function add($a,$b,$c) {
return $a+$b+$c;
}
$total = add($first, $second, $third);
/** You think this will be 0, but with register_globals this is actually
22 */
echo $total;
?

The truth is that you *can* code securely with register_globals on, but it is more difficult than having it turned off. AFAIK the main problem with it is that if you forget to initialize your global variables for something (which might include some $user_auth type variable) then users can easily send bogus information. And even with this the order in which global variables get initialized can affect register_globals. So instead we just scare all of the new PHP coders by telling them about the RegGlobs boogie man. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] Restricting browser's a password manager pop-up
The yes part is that it only appears based on the browsers intelligence in scanning the name of your form fields. Change username and password to something, well.. more obtuse, and it often gets rid of the problem. Give it a shot and see which combination works for you. You may also try adding autocomplete=Off in your password input tag. -k. __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Re: [PHP] Re: Templating engines
Hi, I dont mind seeing php and html together, but designer generally hate it, so I would want to seperate php code from html as much as possible. clive Jason Barnett wrote: Clive Zagno wrote: Hi all, What templating engines do you use with php and why? Ive been using smarty (http://smarty.php.net) Clive. PHP itself is a templating engine, i.e. it can be used to filter input and format it into output. But Smarty is nice if you want your people to be able to create a template without giving them all of the additional PHP coding abilities. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

To state the obvious... the above is in actuality a flame disguised as an excuse. I use InterJinn, smarty, and PHP as template engines depending on what the client wants and how much work they want done, and how much elegance, modularity, and maintainability they want. Of the three I like smarty the least which is probably why I wrote my own engine :) Oh wait, I've also used eztemplate which by far takes the cake of horrible horrible templating. While PHP is itself usable as a templating engine, it's not what I would call clear and concise when used that way (but maybe that's because I've come across too many instances where the previous developer mixed business logic with display logic and then I had to rework the functionality which was a nightmare :). When using InterJinn I save the overhead of run-time includes incurred by using PHP as a templating engine, and I save the overhead of cache checks incurred by systems like smarty since InterJinn compiles to PHP source code and does not use a cache (although it can be set to automatically recompile pages when dependencies change). At any rate I don't generally post about InterJinn here anymore since some of the regulars tend to get annoyed ;) Mind you I don't post much at all anymore since I became a father a year and a half ago... priorities you know :) Cheers, Rob. -- .. | InterJinn Application Framework - http://www.interjinn.com | :: | An application and templating framework for PHP.

installed correctly with the usual test.htm:
form action=action.php method=POST
Your name: input type=text name=name /
Your age: input type=text name=age /

Notice: Undefined index: age in C:\NCC\action.php on line 3

That's correct behavior. As you're simply running action.php on its own,
it sees that $_POST['name'] and $_POST['age'] don't exist and outputs a
notice for each.
To avoid the notices, ensure that those keys exist before calling
something like echo on them:
?php
if (!empty($_POST['name'])) {
echo $_POST['name'];
} else {
echo 'Name not set';
}
if (!empty($_POST['age'])) {
echo $_POST['age'];
} else {
echo 'Age not set';
}
?

[PHP] Round to the nearest X
I realize this is a dumb question but I just can't come up with an equation that will do this and I don't see an internal PHP function (for version 4.3) that will do this... Basically I need to come up with an equation/algorithm that will round any number up/down to the nearest X. I tried using y +/- (y mod x) but after I started putting in some test numbers, it didn't always work. For example, 37678 + ( 37678 % 500 ) did not round up to the nearest 500. Any ideas? thnx, Chris -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] anchr tag replace
Its a long story, but basically, theres some code we cannot get around that is taking anchor tags such as a href=#sat and turning them into a href=http://host.com/folder/file.html?var=varvar2=var2#sat. I need to undo this action with a pattern match on a large body of content with . Can this be done. Here are further details: I need a regular expression that will recognize the following where #anchor can be anything such as #sat or #sunday or #lastpage: a*href=http://*#anchor* And turn it into this: a*href=#anchor* What I am doing is removing the http://host/.../.../file.html?variablevariable that immediately precedes the #anchor. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Round to the nearest X
I think the formula you are looking for is something like this: round( y/x, 0) * x With y being your number and x being the nearest increment number to round to.

Hmm...
$str = ereg_replace('(a[^]*href=)http://[^#]*(#[^]*)', '$1$2', $str);
Completely untested and assumes lowercase tags and the use of double
quotes and that a single a href tag fits on a single line...
But it's a start.

Actually that fails for the base number 500. This works for everything:

?php
$num = isset( $_SERVER[ 'argv' ][ 1 ] )
? $_SERVER[ 'argv' ][ 1 ]
: 0;
if( $num % 500 )

[PHP] Search Agents...
I have a request from a client that has me a little confounded. He wants to have a system where when someone posts a public request with certain criteria, that criteria is then used to find established profiles/agents that fit the criteria. Then emails are sent out to the people corresponding to those profiles/agents. An example: Someone posts an ad saying they have a car for sale: MODEL: Chevy MAKE: Silverado YEAR: 2005 Meanwhile, potential clients have saved search agents so that when a car is posted if the description meets their criteria they are sent an email. Thus, you could have three people, each with agents such as these: PERSON1 MODEL: Chevy MAKE: Silverado YEAR (Newer than): 2003 PERSON2 MODEL: Chevy MAKE: Any YEAR (Newer than): 2004 PERSON3 MODEL: Any MAKE: Any YEAR (Newer than): 2000 You would like all of these people to be emailed after the ad is posted, but how? This won't work: SELECT * FROM agents WHERE mymodel = Chevy AND mymake = Silverado AND myyear = 2005 It will limit the results too much. But neither will this: SELECT * FROM agents WHERE mymodel = Chevy OR mymake = Silverado OR myyear = 2005 That will give too many results. If you had a profile such as: PERSON4 MODEL: Chevy MAKE: Corvette YEAR (Newer than): 2003 They would be sent the email, too. But they aren't looking for trucks. Two options I see would be to: 1) Do it in reverse. Each time a new ad is posted to then loop through the agents doing a search for the criteria and limiting the search to only the previously posted ad, such as: SELECT * FROM ads WHERE admodel = Chevy AND admake = Silverado AND adyear = 2003 AND adid = 8 2) Create some crazily complex query with nested ands and ors out the wazoo. Is there something I'm not seeing? Is there a better way? If not, which of these seems like less of a strain on the server? TIA. Hopefully I'm not just being an idiot here.

RE: [PHP] Re: What's changed between version 4.2.2 and 4.3.4 regarding POSTing?
Yes. It's using the global arrays HTTP_POST_VARS and HTTP_SESSION_VARS arrays, and 4.3.x has the directive register_globals set to off by default. It's safer to leave it off. You can easily update the script by replacing these with $_POST and $_SESSION, respectively. Again I appreciate the pointer. I also changed the $HTTP_SERVER_VARS to $_SERVER and it still didn't work.I then went through the script and checked for where it was trying to register the global user name and it was assuming that the global vars was turned on. Changed the line to read: // $adb_password = $admin_password; // $user = $u_name; $_SESSION['adb_password'] = $admin_password; $_SESSION['user'] = $u_name; And it works now.
