RE: [PHP] Regex help
Ok, it's not the regexp for detecting email addresses what I need,
that's widely published, thanks. I'm using ereg to match this regular
expression:
(On)[\s\w\d\W\S\D\n]*(wr[i|o]te[s]?:)
That will match phrases like

I know there are some comments at php.net about how ereg has some bugs,
any idea if this could be one?

RE: [PHP] Setting up a new box from scratch?
Hey all - I have an unused Pentium box here, recent, well loaded with RAM and HD. I want to turn it into a LAMP box. Never done that before; is there a preferred one-stop-shop installer CD or anything (easy - knock on wood)? It would be nice to end up with some kind of decent web GUI for admin. Thanks You should be able to set up a LAMP box directly from the distro's install CD. Grab the distro of your choice, run the install, and during the phase of the install where you choose the packages you want, choose Apache, MySQL, and PHP. That will get you going with LAMP. On the other hand, there are real benefits to doing it yourself. Install a base Linux system, then go get the latest-greatest from the Apache, MySQL, and PHP websites, and install them seperately. You will not only get the latest versions that way, but you will gain a better understanding of how they fit together.

When I run it through the firefox web browser, I get an error that says: [client 127.0.0.1] PHP Warning: mysql_pconnect(): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (13) in /var/www/html/index.php on line 4 I have checked the socket, it exists.

whatever. Then you send someone to the site with an address like:
mydomain.com/joe which doesn't exist. A custom 404 error handler picks up
the error and parses the URL to identify joe as a unique ID. The 404
script pulls joe's info from a database and populates the pages with his
custom contact info then delivers the page. Joe's ID usually gets stuffed
into a cookie and then when the person comes back to the site at a later
date, they are delivered joe's info.
That's it in a nut shell. Be sure that you deliver 200 headers and not 404
headers when delivering the dynamic folder.
Now you can do the physical folders and every time someone signs up you
can take the template and populate their pages and store these pages in a
real folder named joe. But, be aware using this method. Success (if
having lots of users is your goal) will be your downfall because this system
is not easily scalable. Just think what happens if you have 500 folders, or
5,000 or 50,000 folders with every folder having a copy of the files in
them.
Here is a 404 script I use:
?header(HTTP/1.0 200 OK);
require('/home/pathToLookUp/getinfo.php');
?
And here is the start of the getinfo.php script:
?
list($blank, $site, $page) = split(\/, $REDIRECT_URL, 3);
$query = select * from stores where stores.name = '$site' and stores.active
= 'Y' ;
?
Be sure to code the handling of an actual 404 just in case you don't have a
user named joe or the surfer miss types.
There's a ton of work in getting all of the bases covered - but it's sweet
when it's done and you will know a lot of how a server works.
Hope this helps.

[PHP] strip out too many newlines
im working on a comment/forum app and when a user enters too many
carriage returns i want to remove them before insert to db.
example, user input:
-snip-
[quote=user]
foo
[/quote]
bunch of extra lines
more text...
-snip-
I to change to:
[quote=user]foo[/quote]
more text...
i try this regexp:
$message =
preg_replace('#(\[quote(=(quot;||\'|)([^\]]*)\\3)?\])\s+#i', \\1\n,
$_POST['message']);
doesn't remove / replace anything.
I need for it to work when they use [quote=xx] or [quote] and ends with
[/quote]
any help?

Re: [PHP] strip out too many newlines
thanx for the reply, but 1 problem. there is not only \n there are \r in
the POST too (carriage returns) so a string can look like this:
$string = '[quote=xx]\r\nfoo\r\n[/quote]\r\nmore text\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n';
and your regexp will only catch if there is just \n
any solution for \r\n in combination too?

[PHP] Is gethostbyaddr() slow?
Hi all, I just discovered the gethostbyaddr() function. By reading the user contributed notes, I get the impression that either this function may cause performance problems, or a user-contributed function based upon it may be slow.

Re: [PHP] Is gethostbyaddr() slow?
I can say from personal experience that gethostbyaddr() and gethostbyname() can seem almost randomly slow, depending on machine, OS, software, who knows. I'm not smart enough to figure out the reason why it can vary so much on machines with nearly the same configuration, but I can tell you that it works perfectly fast most of the time. Then there's that other 5% where something makes it slow as molasses. I have two machines that are so similar it's not funny, but gethostbyname() takes 1/10 s on one, and 5 s on the other. I have yet to figure out what's the difference between them that causing this. kgt Dotan Cohen wrote: Hi all, I just discovered the gethostbyaddr() function.

[PHP] ICMP Checksum, calculation
I've wanted to make a ping 'program' in PHP, so after reading up on
this, it occured to me that the only difficult thing was to calculate
the ICMP checksum. So after some heavy reading I could calculate this by
pen and paper. And after some hours trying to make my calculations into
PHP code, I discovered this piece of code in the online doc:
(by Khaless [at] bigpond [dot] com)
http://dk2.php.net/manual/en/ref.sockets.php
?PHP
// Computes Internet Checksum for $data
// will return a 16-bit internet checksum for $data
function inetChecksum($data)
{
// 32-bit accumilator, 16 bits at a time, adds odd bit on at end
for($i=0;$istrlen($data);$i += 2)
{
if($data[$i+1]) $bits = unpack('n*',$data[$i].$data[$i+1]);
else $bits = unpack('C*',$data[$i]);
$sum += $bits[1];
}
// Fold 32-bit sum to 16 bits
while ($sum16) $sum = ($sum 0x) + ($sum 16);
$checksum = pack('n1',~$sum);
return $checksum;
}
?
Now, after discovering the unpack function it all became a lot easier,
so I've made my own checksum calculator, which works approximatly 5
times as fast (and it dosn't have the for loop limitation of data
length), and all the tests I've done it gives the same result as above:
?php
function myChecksum($data)
{
$bit = unpack('n*', $data);
$sum = array_sum($bit);
if (strlen($data)%2) {
$temp = unpack('C*',$data[strlen($data)-1]);
$sum += $temp[1];
}
// The next 2 lines of code, is stolen from the
// original ping program written in C
// Stolen code start:
$sum = ($sum 16) + ($sum 0x);
$sum += ($sum 16);
// End of stolen code
return pack('n*', ~$sum);
}
?
Can anyone tell me, if there will be any example, where the 2 functions
wont give the same output? The piece of code I think could be the most
trouble is the piece I've stolen, in the other function there's a while
loop, so if I a very long data input, it wouldn't be the same output,
but I've tried with large strings and they still give the same.
So to sum up, will the 2 functions always calculate the same.

[PHP] Interesting Referer behaviour- how to copy it?
I creating a out.php file that will record clicks, and the redirect the user to the site that he wanted. I am currently using header(Location: $url); which works as expected. The only problem is, that the browser does not send $HTTP_REFERER info to the recieving site. However, that particular site is also linking to me via a out.php file, and the browser DOES set $HTTP_REFERER on my site. So I've been googleing for two days, and came up with this: There is a site that displays the server reesponse of any server. So I put both of our out.php files to the test. First, his server response: HTTP/1.1 302 Found Connection: close Date: Thu, 04 Aug 2005 15:19:01 GMT Location: http://lyricslist.com Server: Apache/2.0.50 (FreeBSD) PHP/5.0.0 Vary: Accept-Encoding Content-Length: 0 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Client-Date: Thu, 04 Aug 2005 15:32:32 GMT Client-Response-Num: 1 X-Powered-By: PHP/5.0.0 This redirects to lyricslist.com and correctly sets the $HTTP_REFERER variable. Now, my server response: HTTP/1.1 302 Found Connection: close Date: Thu, 04 Aug 2005 15:39:25 GMT Location: http://lyricslist.com Server: Apache/1.3.33 (Unix) mod_auth_passthrough/1.8 mod_log_bytes/1.2 mod_bwlimited/1.4 PHP/4.3.11 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635 mod_ssl/2.8.22 OpenSSL/0.9.7a Vary: Accept-Encoding Content-Length: 0 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Client-Date: Thu, 04 Aug 2005 15:39:29 GMT Client-Response-Num: 1 X-Powered-By: PHP/4.3.11 This just does not set the $HTTP_REFERER variable! The referer variable is even set to the original page that linked to out.php, and not out.php itself! I have tried in IE 6.x, Firefox 1.0.6, Pheonix 0.7 (remember that!), and Opera 8.0. What could be the difference? Thanks to all who rack thier brains on this one! It's been a fruitless two days for me...

Are you running this php code in windows, where a line break is made up of a carriage return and a line feed? The file was probably created on unix/linux where the line break is just a line feed.

Any DNS lookup tools are perfectly fast when run from the command line. Also, other machines in the same subnet, using the same DNS servers, using 99% same apache config files (I diff'ed 'em) run just as fast under same apache/php version as they do command line. It's hard to imagine what external DNS problem could exist that would affect only one of our servers, and on that one, only apache/php and nothing command line.

Any DNS lookup tools are perfectly fast when run from the command line. Also, other machines in the same subnet, using the same DNS servers, using 99% same apache config files (I diff'ed 'em) run just as fast under same apache/php version as they do command line. It's hard to imagine what external DNS problem could exist that would affect only one of our servers, and on that one, only apache/php and nothing command line. Something else is going on, but my initial tries of downgrading/upgrading both php and apache haven't made a different yet. Perhaps you have another suggestion? could you please mention the environment, i mean, the os, and the versions of php? is it binary install or a compile?

}
}
$object = new MyClass('1');

$object-var = 3; // Fatal Error as expected
$object-$var = 2; // no error msg
$var is empty, so this is setting a non-existent class property to 2.
$object-printVar(); // prints 2
I got 1 when running this -- just as I would expect. Are you sure it
printed 2?
Basically, if a property is undeclared, it is assumed public, so you can
set undefined properties without issue. If defined private or protected,
the calling script will not be able to alter the value.

[PHP] Re: Class constants
* Marcus Bointon [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
I'm not sure if this is a bug or a feature, but it seems you can't
use class constants to set default values for class properties. You
can, however, use them for default values for method params, e.g.:
class foo {}
const BAR = 100;
private $thing = self::BAR;
function wibble($a = self::BAR) {
echo $a;
}
}
In this case $this-thing will be undefined, but wibble() will get
the correct default value for $a.
Comments?
This has been the case since PHP4. From http://php.net/oop:
In PHP 4, only constant initializers for var variables are allowed. To
initialize variables with non-constant values, you need an
initialization function which is called automatically when an object is
being constructed from the class.
What is meant by 'constant initializers' is that you cannot define class
variables based on variables, constants, or globals -- defined in the
class or otherwise. So, the following is okay:
private $thing = 100;
But, as you saw, the following will barf:
private $thing = self::BAR;
private $thing = BAR;
private $thing = $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'];
// etc.
So, in other words, the issues you're seeing are consistent with the
documentation.

[PHP] Timing out a remote call
For one project, I'm required to access a web service for every page.
Basically it returns a little bit of random text. I have no control
over the web service, and there is no possibility of cacheing or
bringing it locally: the requirements are that it be accessed live
across the Internet every time.
Most times it's instantaneous, but sometimes it can hang. I want to
give it a half-second timeout, which we're allowed to do, but there's
no documentation provided. Here is how we call it now (really simple):
include('http://04planet.info/kfc/grab_one.php');
I have STFW and RTFM and could only find vague references like use
fsockopen instead or stream_set_timeout() but I can't find an
actual complete working example anywhere. Any pointers?

Generally, using include or file_get_contents() for a remote call is a
Bad Idea. Perhaps if you used curl instead? You have a lot more control
over the entire call that way. Of course, the curl code might be a bit
bulkier in PHP, but I find it works quite well.
As for fsockopen(), it works just like a file pointer.
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.fsockopen.php
That manual page gives a pretty good description of how to use it.
Idea: The socket will by default be opened in blocking mode. You can
switch it to non-blocking mode by using stream_set_blocking().
The last parameter to fsockopen() is the timeout for connecting to the
socket, and the manual describes it as such:
Note: If you need to set a timeout for reading/writing data over the
socket, use stream_set_timeout(), as the timeout parameter to
fsockopen() only applies while connecting the socket.

Torgny

this ini setting can onyl be set before php

I wouldn't make the call to session_id() - not like that
anyway - insecure springs to mind - read more here:
http://php.net/session_id
IHMO you should just let php handle session id generation.
session_cache_limiter(nocache);
this function call determine the kind of
caching headers that will be sent.
yuor pages should not be cached by the browser
or any intermediary proxy.
ini_set('session.cookie_lifetime', '0');
this sets you session cookie to last for as long as you
keep the browser open.
ini_set('session.gc_probability', '100');
ini_set('session.gc_divisor', '100');
ini_set('session.gc_maxlifetime', '1');
these 3 ini setting have to do with garbage collection
(gc) of stale session data (files) - the numbers you use
100 100 mean that the garbage collector will be run
at the end of every request - thats very bad for performance.
session.gc_maxlifetime doesn't seem to be being honored ..
this may be down to your version of php, your OS, a combination
thereof - or it may even be that the value is too small to
be meaningful. or the session.cookie_lifetime may be
interfering - I just don't know but seems _like_ incorrect behaviour
bare in mind that although you are calling ini_set() on all these
setting that does not mean that any of the values you give are actually
being set successfully - use ini_get() after your call to session_start()
and echo out the results to determine what values are actually in
affect.
session_start();
indeed - you must call session_start() before trying to
use $_SESSION
if(!session_is_registered('count'))
session_register('count');
echo ++$_SESSION['count'];
don't mix the use session_register() and the $_SESSION
superglobal - in fact just use the $_SESSION superglobal
and forget session_reigster completely i.e.
you can just do:
if (!isset($_SESSION['count'])) {
$_SESSION['count'] = 0;
}
$_SESSION['count']++;

First, his server response: HTTP/1.1 302 Found Connection: close Date: Thu, 04 Aug 2005 15:19:01 GMT Location: http://lyricslist.com Server: Apache/2.0.50 (FreeBSD) PHP/5.0.0 Vary: Accept-Encoding Content-Length: 0 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Client-Date: Thu, 04 Aug 2005 15:32:32 GMT Client-Response-Num: 1 X-Powered-By: PHP/5.0.0 he runs php5, you run php4 - is the following set on his server perchance?: echo $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']; //or echo getenv(HTTP_REFERER); note that $HTTP_REFERER is depreciated in php5. also the freeBSD box may have a firewall that is stripping the referer header - freeBSD is the paranoid man's *nix of choice after all - at least all the security freaks I know prefer it. actually I did a bit of googling and there is a slim possiblity that the firewall software on your PC is munging the referer header - try turning it off also proxy servers may be stripping the header. This redirects to lyricslist.com and correctly sets the $HTTP_REFERER variable. Now, my server response: HTTP/1.1 302 Found Connection: close Date: Thu, 04 Aug 2005 15:39:25 GMT Location: http://lyricslist.com Server: Apache/1.3.33 (Unix) mod_auth_passthrough/1.8 mod_log_bytes/1.2 mod_bwlimited/1.4 PHP/4.3.11 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635 mod_ssl/2.8.22 OpenSSL/0.9.7a Vary: Accept-Encoding Content-Length: 0 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Client-Date: Thu, 04 Aug 2005 15:39:29 GMT Client-Response-Num: 1 X-Powered-By: PHP/4.3.11 This just does not set the $HTTP_REFERER variable! The referer variable is even set to the original page that linked to out.php, and not out.php itself! I have tried in IE 6.x, Firefox 1.0.6, Pheonix 0.7 (remember that!), and Opera 8.0. What could be the difference? Thanks to all who rack thier brains on this one! It's been a fruitless two days for me...

Thanks, Jochem, for looking into this. I just this minute figured out my mistake- I was typing in the address out.php into the browser, because I was expecting the referer to be out.php. But, the referer that is sent is the page that LINKS to out.php!! As there was nothing linking to it, there was no referer! I'm now digging a deep hole to bury myself in...

I need for it to work when they use [quote=xx] or [quote] and ends with

any help?
$str= preg_replace(%(\r\n|\r|\n)%, \n, $str);
$str= preg_replace(%\n\n+%, \n\n, $str);//max 2 \n

[PHP] Re: WAMP Performance Tuning
* JM [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I'm quoting out a system for a Windows/Apache/PHP/MySQL database-driven web application I've written. I've never gotten too deep into determining what is the actual performance bottleneck in this scenario. Is it the disk or the RAM? I expect about 75-100 users during business hours. 90% will be in the LAN and 10% will go over the WAN. I'm wondering if I can get good performance out of a small system with 2GB RAM, 1GBps NIC, and a SATA disk or three spanned. You don't indicate how many queries are made on a given page, how much data is handled, etc., Without seeing some code, it's hard to say what the bottleneck for performance will be. I've done some fairly critical stuff that, because I took the time to optimize the database, optimize how much data gets displayed at a given time (pagination is a *good* thing), streamlined the code to minimize file and database calls, and setup the box to only run what was necessary for serving pages, I was able to get away with using a sub-400Mhz box with 384MB of RAM and a 20GB drive (this was a LAMP setup). And it performed well, even with decent user load. Disk calls are always more expensive than RAM calls -- but if you're hitting a database, you're hitting the disk anyways (unless the queries are getting cached). Run benchmarks, and try to minimize the number of file calls and database calls to what is absolutely necessary. Consider dumping Windows for a Linux flavor, or one of the BSDs. You can tune these better to only run the services needed for the web stack (Apache, MySQL, cron, firewall, formail/msmtp/sendmail). Because of the shared-nothing architecture of PHP, you really don't need heavy hitting boxes in order to get good performance. They don't hurt, but they're not necessary. -- Matthew Weier O'Phinney Zend Certified Engineer http://weierophinney.net/matthew/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
