This query is not working, and I do not know why. If I try the two

Firstly, this is not PHP related.  If you are using MySQL, you should 
know that sub-selects are only supported in versions 4.1 and above.

[PHP] Re: PHP vs. ColdFusion

2005-06-27 Thread Anton Kovalenko
PHP is open source. It's highly supported by lots of developers.
It's free. There are many different libraries such as PEAR, for instance.
There many free frameworks for creating convinient modular and easyly
managebale applications both web and command line.
I can name mojavi.org as a brilliant MVC pattern implementation for PHP5,
propel (propel.phpdb.org)
and metastorage (http://www.meta-language.net/metastorage.html)  as
OOtoR transformation frameworks.

As to ColdFusion, It seems to me that this technology is dead already.

[PHP] daemons listen on apache port when run by php

2005-06-27 Thread Dusan Smolnikar
I am trying to run a daemon via php4  apache2 (on debian sarge). I  
am using the
command exec('sh script.sh');. All works fine, my daemon (which I  
run with
script.sh) is running. But when I stop apache, I can see that the  
daemon I ran
previously is listening on port 80 (apache port). This does not  
happen if I run
the script from a shell. How can I prevent these daemons from taking  
over port

80?

This happens with amule and giftd (haven't tried any others though).

this is my script:
#!/bin/bash
HOME=/var/www

case $1 in
start)
/usr/bin/giftd -dq --home-dir '/var/www'
;;
stop)
killall giftd
;;
restart | force-reload)
$0 stop
sleep 2
$0 start
;;
*)
echo Usage: gift.sh {start|stop|restart|force- 
reload} exit 1

esac

exit 0


the command used in php:
exec('./gift.sh start');

what I get when I stop apache, after I ran the script:
[router:/var/www/.giFT] racer% sudo netstat -np --ip --listen | grep 80
tcp   0   0 0.0.0.0:80   0.0.0.0:*   LISTEN   2522/giftd

 As I said, though, you should be using a MySQL date field. Have a look
 at the MySQL manual for the corresponding functions to the above --
 there's probably a quicker way with MySQL too.

Dates should almost always be stored as dates in a database, not
varchars.  This allows for more and/or faster date functions, sorting
that works (it only works with -mm-dd format in varchars), and you
can select the data into a unix timestamp instead of needing to
strtotime() first.

The calculation in mysql couldn't be much simpler.

select datediff(StampDate, '2003-08-23') as StampDateDiff


From the manual:

DATEDIFF() returns the number of days between the start date expr and
the end date expr2. expr  and expr2 are date or date-and-time
expressions. Only the date parts of the values are used in the
calculation.

mysql SELECT DATEDIFF('1997-12-31 23:59:59','1997-12-30');
 - 1

Forgive us, it's Monday.

$newstring = substr ( $oldstring, 0, 9 );

Will knock the last two characters off of an eleven character string. 0 
is the starting point, and 9 is the length you want returned


$newstring = substr ( $oldstring, 1, 9 );

Will knock off the first and last character of an eleven character

S So the length should be 9 not 8 no? Or should I go back to school?

It should be 9 if you want 9 characters.

Lots of PHP functions are zero-based, but the 3rd parameter to substr
is asking for the number of characters to return, not the actual
character location in the string to stop at - if it did, then it would
have been 8 (0 being the 1st character, etc), but in this case it's 9.

It's an easy one to slip-up on imho.

 PHP, even after sampling Coldfusion, so what I would like is some
 ammunition that I can take into a meeting to sell management on PHP
 instead of ColdFusion. I've already been harping on the difference in
 cost, so I'm looking for other points to go with. Besides, we'll
 probably invest in Zend products if we choose PHP, and Macromedia has
 government rates available; I don't have any numbers (yet), but the
 cost difference may not be that great in the end.
 
 Any input would be greatly appreciated. Opinions are welcome
 (especially from programmers with experience in both), but I have to
 sell it to management (I'm already on the PHP side), so links to data
 or articles comparing the two are best.

It might not be easy to put a number on, but consider your (and
possibly the other developers') enthusiasm about PHP. I would guess
that you will be more productive with something that you are excited
about.

I have done a lot of work in both ColdFusion and PHP and I much prefer
PHP. There are some technical reasons (i.e., I like shared nothing),
but some of it is also personal preference. I just like it. CF is fine
and I don't think it's dead, but it just isn't as fun to work with. My
biggest problem with CF is probably that I have to use it on Windows
and, well, I really don't like that. ;) You mention being in a Windows
environment so maybe you don't have a choice with that aspect.

If management can see that you are stoked to use PHP that might help your cause.

RE: [PHP] PHP vs. ColdFusion

2005-06-27 Thread Matt Babineau
Yeah - I'll second all of this. I'm a Certified Macromedia CF Developer,
why do you ask am I on this list? The answer is simple, php is better.
However with the recent developments in CF6, CF has become very comparable.
Why would I still choose PHP over CF given this? Ease of management. I don't
have to even think about the server. I spend about 1 hr a month messing
around with the server (daemon restarts or php config changes). That's where
LAMP's value really shines through I think you will find.

[PHP] shell expansion (globbing) from inside php cli script

2005-06-27 Thread b-bonini
Can not make this work inside a php script.

Have tried several variations:
$cmd = scp [EMAIL PROTECTED]:$directory/\{$files} $tmp_dir/.;

$cmd = scp [EMAIL PROTECTED]:$directory/ . '{' . $files . '} ' . $tmp_dir/.;

etc...

I can echo out the command and get a well formed command, i.e. one that will 
execute from a command prompt, but when I try to exec() $cmd from within the 
script the globbing is taken literally.

[PHP] the EXEC command

2005-06-27 Thread mikael
I wanted to use the exec function but when i did a simple test script i got 
no result.

This is the testscript:

?

echo exec(whoami);

?

tested also with

echo exec('whoami');

but no result... the server in NOT in safe_mode and other php-files works 
fine.

and if i would get this to work how should i do to execute a couple of

[PHP] Re: Sybase and PHP

2005-06-27 Thread Jamie Alessio

 Does anyone know how to build PHP with sybase support without having a
 sybase server running on the local machine

Joe,
You can access Sybase with PHP by using the FreeTDS libraries. You don't 
need to install anything from Sybase on the webserver you mention.


Get FreeTDS from http://www.freetds.org/ (you might even find an RPM for 
your system at 
http://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/ALPHA/freetds/stable/redhat/RPMS/).


You'll need to define data sources for your sybase db in the FreeTDS 
config files. Check the FreeTDS docs for that. You won't be able to 
connect via PHP if your data sources aren't configured correctly.


Recompile PHP with --with-sybase=/usr/local/freetds (or wherever you 
installed FreeTDS). You should then be able to use the sybase_* 
functions to connect to your Sybase system on another machine. As an 
added bonus, I think you can also use the sybase functions to connect to 
a MSSQL server (or vice versa if you compile PHP with 
--with-mssql=/usr/local/freetds).


- Jamie



After looking through sybase.com and coming up with nothing I thought
it might be better to see if anyone has already been down this road:

I've got a very old laptop with a tiny little hard drive with very
little free space on it. It's being used as a 'rogue' intranet server
and doing a suprisingly good job of it. Right now we are needing to
access one of the company's sybase servers to retrieve customer data,
but I don't think we can afford the extra space needed to install too
much extra on this poor thing.

Does anyone know how to build PHP with sybase support without having a
sybase server running on the local machine.or for that matter does
anyone know how to install an ODBC driver for the same setup? I'm
willing to accept information on either one at this point.

It's running rh7.3 w/ php 5 and apache 2. Any help at all would be
very much appreciated.

[PHP] Breaking up data efficiently

2005-06-27 Thread Wee Keat
Hi All,

I'm working on an aircraft booking system and it has multiple
origin/destination data, concatenated into a single line:


/* BEGIN DATA */

Melbourne, AU, 21-07-2005 14:00:00|Perth, AU, 21-07-2005 18:00:00|Perth,
AU, 25-07-2005 14:00:00|Melbourne, AU, 25-07-2005 18:00:00

/* END DATA */


As you can see, each origin/destination is separated by a pipe '|', and
then, each origin/destination data has its location, country and
datetime of departure/arrival, separated by comma ','.

I'm splitting them up into array of location, country and datetime using
the following:


/* BEGIN CODE */

$itenary = explode('|', $booking-booking_flight_details);

$size = count($itenary);

for($i=0; $i  $size; $i++) {
list($path[$i]['location'],
 $path[$i]['country'],
 $path[$i]['datetime']) = explode(',', $itenary[$i]);
}

/* END CODE */



*Question*: Is the above the code an effective way to do it? Or is there
a better/faster way?

Somehow, it feels like there's lots of things going through the above code.

Please advise. Thanks.

It's pretty good, but I would've done:

$itinerary = explode('|', $booking-booking_flight_details);

foreach($itinerary as $item) {
$item = explode(',', $item);
$path[] = array(
'location'  = $item[0],
'country'   = $item[1],
'datetime'  = $item[2]
);
}

That's really just a matter of preference though.

I suppose it depends on how many records you're going to have to split 
up... here's another way, but I don't know if it's faster -- I'll let you 
time it -- and it's certainly not as readable...


$bits = split([|,], $booking-booking_flight_details);
$size = count($itenary);
for ( $i = 0; $i  $size; $i += 3 ) {
$path[$i]['location'] = $bits[$i];
$path[$i]['country'] = $bits[$i + 1];
$path[$i]['datetime']  = $bits[$i + 2];

[PHP] looking for a pure startup opportunity..

2005-06-27 Thread bruce
hi...

i'm out here in california, the bay area, and was wondering if anyone on the
list is interested in either being partners, forming a sweat equity startup?
or if anyone has an idea/concept, and you're looking for people to be part
of your team...

i've read way too many articles about the 3 kids/guys/etc... who managed to
get $10 million in funding for esentially a basic idea, but they had/have
traffic/eyeballs!!!

yeah, i recognize that the 'best' dream would be to have a wealthy
benefactor, but that's not going to happen for the vast majority of
people/ideas! i'm of the firm opinion that the right group, willing to
sweat/work together, can build a pretty good business. this approach
requires the parties to work on it part-time, until it generates revenues,
and sustains itself.

so, if you're looking at your shrinking retirement going to iraq, and you
want something more out of life, let's talk!!

but with the right combination of web development skills
(perl/php/c/apache/linux/mysql/html/css) we can do some damage. there are
numerous opportunities for the right 3-5 person team!

bruce

richard...

you're too cynical... but why do you not believe that you and 3-4 of your
peers couldn't build something that would work...

 mean.. if you think about it.. you probably already possess the skills that
you need to get something started...

but let me ask you... do you think that you and a few of the developers you
know could build this -- www.thefacebook.com. these guys are kids...
started this (actually ripped off another site) about 18 months ago...

they recently got ~$13million in funding... they started in college, with
not much more than a realization that they could build this...

so, the question i have for you.. why do you not think you could do it!!

but the fact that you think you can't means there's less competition from
those who do it!

Try shell_exec(). I don't think exec() goes via the shell.

No, I already tried it that way too. I guess I should mention this is a
cli script if that matters.

[PHP] Dynamic pspell module, and adding new words to the list

2005-06-27 Thread Dan Rossi
Hi there, an internal client of ours requires spell checking in their 
textarea forms on names of people for searching thousands of records 
properly. What it needs to be able to do is add new names to the 
dictionary. The server its on is a few years old, it already has the 
pspell and aspell libraries and command line tools, its running 
php4.3.0 urrggh, what i am needing to do is load it as a dynamic module 
and then use an Ajax service to do the spell checking. The spell 
checker needs to be able to add names to the dictionary is any of this 
possible ?


Let me know thanks.

You cannot send messages with 8 bit characters. To send your message you 
need to encode the body using quoted-printable encoding.


You may want to take a look at this class for composing and sending 
messages that can encode the message properly for you . It comes with an 
example that sends messages with letters with accents.

You can use the class function QuotedPrintableEncode. It also takes care 
of encoding the message headers that have 8 bit characters with 
q-encoding which is slightly different from quoted-printable. You also 
need to set the Content-Transfer encoding to quoted-printable.


That is all if you want to send just a plain text message. If you 
messages are more complicated with HTML parts, embedded images or 
attachments, that is more complicated. You would need to use the whole 
class rather than just a single function.


The actual delivery of the message also has details. There are 
differences when you send via SMTP or sendmail (or equivalent). The 
class and its sub-classes take care of all those differences too.

Re: [PHP] Breaking up data efficiently

2005-06-27 Thread Kevin L'Huillier
I agree, your implementation is efficient.  It does depend on the data
being entirely proper, however.  If you can not be entirely sure (and
you should rarely be), i might add a suggestion that increases code
length, but decreases the chance of problems:

You might consider creating a function to validate the location as
well as list() = explode() it.

$locations = explode('|', $booking-booking_flight_details);

foreach ($locations as $location)
$list[] = split_location($location);

Create the function split_location to return the associative array or,
if it is invalid, throws an exception.  If PHP4, replace the exception
with similar error handling.

Please only answer if you know exactly how to do so. The advise is very crucial 
to me.


Thanks very much in advance

I am not aware of any such package, however you may way to keep
in mind that what you need right now is not necessarily what you will
need in the future.  The bloat you see in some, such as phpadsnews,
has likely been added because needs expanded.  Your needs may
also expand.  Your client/manager may want to track impressions
in a certain way in the future; will LightweightAdManager handle that?

Most such packages start out fulfilling a simple need, and features are
added as clients or managers desire new functionality.  I agree that
a lot of packages are bloated, but in many cases the bloat is there to
provide flexibility so you do not need to rework everything to add
feature Foo.

If you are fully certain you will not need anything but a basic set of
functions, then ignore this message.

There are a few examples at http://php.net/header

In your case you might want to do something like:

$article = $_REQUEST['i'];
// some validation of $article if necessary
$url = sprintf('/services.php/%s'. $i);
header('Location: ' . $url);

(Also, that's a hell of a signature.)
