I have a form which displays fine with html, but when I add the php
thew page is blank. I am re-using code which I have on another form so
I know it works. I was wondering if there might be something in the
PHP confuration which may be preventing the page from displaying. IE
error reporting .
Can someone take a look at my configuration settings and see if there
may be something to cause this? Of course there may be something I
missed in the code as weel, but it the past I always got some sort of
error, not just a blank page.
thanks,

Hi Bruce,
the error_reporting level in your php.ini is set to 81, that means only
a few sorts of errors will be shown on your site. Even parse-errors are
hidden.
But you can set it to a different level in your script.
Have a look at error_reporting in the manual.
Best regards
Sabine

I'm afraid you missed the original point of the question. His problem
was that Apache does not display the ErrorDocument if PHP sends a 404
status header.
This behaviour is by design (Apache checks to see if the PHP script
handling the request exists; it does, so Apache does not display the
ErrorDocument)
What I would recommend is to send the 404 header and then include() the
ErrorDocument as specified in Apache's config.

Re: [PHP] Restarting windows from php
Hi,
I think, Karl says that to how to shutdown the server.
This is posible with rundll, or using Win32API functions.
This is the detailed information about how to use Win32API functions
in PHP:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.w32api.php
So, also this is an information about ExitWindows() API function:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/sysinfo/base/exitwindows.asp

Re: [PHP] Restarting windows from php
First off, windows has no clue what a fork is, much less the command
'shutdown -r -t 01'.
You can get a windows based version here for windows 2000,
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;317371sd=tech
If you on windows xp or 2003 servers I'm not sure how this will work
now that MS in there infinate wisdom has implemented the shutdown/
reboot logging stuff where you have to tell it why your rebooting or
shutting it down. (IMHO the dumbest thing ever)
From personal experiance I would test this on a local machine first
before putting it on a production system, as they don't always act the
way you intend them to.
Second, why are you having to reboot the system? Is an application
stopping or something else like that because it would be easier to
restart the service / application than rebooting the sytem if thats
the case.

While you can call shutdown directly from exec - some things are best
not called like this. PHP will be left hanging waiting for the process
to finish, so you'll get a really nasty shutdown going on without
properly ending your sessions.
You'd be better off looking at COM scripting it to be honest. Or write
a Windows application that does what you require (closes down all
services smoothly, reboots, etc) and exec that, providing your IIS
user has the correct permissions to do so.
The warning most likely comes from IIS, or your php.ini settings - I
just tested shutdown -i on Apache (in WinXP) and it ran without any
problems.
Best regards,
Richard Davey

RE: [PHP] Restarting windows from php
Could be that he's trying to use PHP to restart the server. Or could be using
php via command line or through a system like GTK or Winbinder. It's worth
noting that you should make sure you're restarting the machine you think you
are, but the question still remains... is this possible and how is it done?
If shutdown can't be forked, is it an issue of PHP spinning off the program and
not and returning control to PHP before the program is finished (so they run
concurrently)... if that's the case, is there a way to make PHP give full
control to the program it calls?
If just using EXEC to call a program is considered 'forking', is there another
method? Could you use PHP to EXEC a script file that ran shutdown instead?
Would this behave better?
Is there a way to do this and/or any tricks to making it work?
I think that's the question being asked.

RE: [PHP] Restarting windows from php
Just out of interest, how is the restart going to authenticate itself to get
up and running?
I used to do something like this between two servers - but the were Macs and
I was using Frontier and it did work, but not without the odd mishap.
If you just want to do it remotely (without recourse to PHP), look at VNC.

Try doing a pattern match on the server string and then using Header
to redirect them if its coming from the old server:
if (preg_match(/ces.ncsu/i, $_SERVER[HTTP_HOST])) {

to get to my site it is breaking other pieces within it (though there is code
in
place which supposedly stops this from happening, I have found that this is
not
the case)
what I plan on doing is invoking the script on the main page of each man
sub-directory and the main page so that it should catch the majority of folks.
Any suggestions/help would be greatly appreciated!

RE: [PHP] display error line in object method
From: Georgi Ivanov [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi, I have a db wrapper class. I use it like this : $db-query(SQL HERE) or die ($db-error()); Is there a way to display the line on which $db-error() is executed without doing die (__LINE__. .$db-error() )? If i put __LINE__ in the class the line number is always the line in the class file. I want when i call $db-error() to display the current line number. Probably not the answer you're looking for, but I think your best option may be to pass __LINE__ as an arg to error() and use it there as you please.

[PHP] REGEX for query
Howdy boys and girls!
I have a rather interesting issue. I need to locate every query in every
PHP application we have for an integration project. I have started doing
some research, but I wanted throw this out there as a little exercize
because it is interesting.
Several queries are written as
$variableName = SELECT foo FROM bar WHERE glorp = '12' ;
Others are written as
$variableName = INSERT INTO bar (foo) ;
$variableName .= VALUES ('.$foo.') ;
And still others may be written as
$variableName = SELECT foo ;
$variableName .= FROM bar ;
$variableName .= WHERE glorp = '12' ;
while('stinky' == $caca){
$variableName .= AND poot = ' . $caca['texture'] . ' ;
}
How would you begin to get the queries using PHP? Regex? Other methods?
I am working on isolating where the applications live right now, but I
would be thrilled to read your opinions and methods.
Thanks!

Richard, thanks for the pointer on the shutdown command, nice to see them implement that in 2k3 and XP, I don't use them on a regular base and sure don't use them in server environment. As for the fork, windows can't preform a fork of a process. There are API's out there that can do this for windows such as perls Win32::Process, or using the MKS Toolkit, i think the developer or interopertablility versions will do this. If you have documents showing that windows can do a fork, I would like to read about it, however the last time I checked this was not possible, maybe they are trying to implement this, if so thats great, it will be a plus for them.

I tried the following:

exec('SHUTDOWN /r');
I received the following warning message: Warning: exec(): Unable to
fork [SHUTDOWN -r -t 01].
There are a couple of possible causes here. First I would try this
instead...
system('shutdown -r -t 1 ');
I don't have a windows machine I can restart at the moment to try this,
but you might have more luck with system than with exec.
Another possible cause is that the user the web server runs as doesn't
have sufficient permissions to initiate a restart. While the error
you're getting doesn't appear to have anything to do with permissions I
would certainly consider it a possibility.

Several queries are written as [...] How would you begin to get the queries using PHP? Regex? Other methods? I am working on isolating where the applications live right now, but I would be thrilled to read your opinions and methods. Assuming unix, I'd do the following from the root of the application to get a list of files that contain queries: $ egrep =[:space:]*\.*\b(SELECT|INSERT|UPDATE)\b * -ril That is assuming that you always assign a query to a variable before executing it, and the select|insert|update is always on the same line as the assignment operator. For example, the above would not catch: $variableName = SELECT foo ; But if you're reasonably sure you don't do that anywhere then it might be enough. I'm assuming that at some point you're going to want to update those queries, or the code surrounding them. I'd use a good editor that supports regex searches across multiple files. I'd suggest jEdit (www.jedit.org); it's quite powerful and free, but your favorite editor may have similar functionality already. My next step would be to load all of the files that egrep found for me into jEdit, then do a regex search across all buffers for a similar pattern ( =\s*.*\b(SELECT|INSERT|UPDATE)\b ). jEdit also has a feature known as HyperSearch which opens a dockable window that lists every occurrence by file and line number, and allows you to jump from occurrence to occurence by clicking on each one. I'd then hit each one and do the appropriate update (that is, assuming the update in question isn't so simple that it can be done with a global search and replace). Anyway, that's how I'd do it.

[PHP] dynamic object instances
Hello List,
I would like to create an object inside a function with its classname
and a parameter list submitted by the function call.
function create($class, $parameter) {
$obj = new $class($parameter);
return $obj;
}
This is working very well. But I have not every time the same count of
parameters for a class constructor.
If this is a normal method call of an object I can realise it like this:
$ret = call_user_func_array(array($obj, 'method'), $parameter_array);
The $parameter_array contains as many entries as the function needs.
Works well too.
But how can I write a function to instance objects with various count of
parameters in the constructor?
I know, can do this with an eval. But I would like to find a solution
where I don't need an eval.
thanks for all answers,
Thomas

[PHP] Re: Fixing Invalid Characters in RSS Feeds.. ?
Hello, on 08/10/2005 10:05 AM Greg Schnippel said the following: I wrote a custom blog/CMS script that I use to generate RSS feeds. Every so often, in the process of cutting and pasting from other sites I will inadvertently enter a bad character that RSS doesn't like which causes the whole feed to break. (For example, versions of quotation marks or long dashes). My solution now is to check the feed at feedvalidator.org and then edit any offending characters by hand. Does anyone know an easier way to do this? In truth, I'm not sure I know what kind of characters are valid and which are not and why. Is there an easy way to validate and correct any incoming text? There is no such thing as invalid RSS characters. All characters are valid as long as they are properly encoded to include in XML documents. If you are not sure how to do it, you may want to take a look at this RSS writer and XML writer classes that do it properly: http://www.phpclasses.org/rsswriter http://www.phpclasses.org/xmlwriter -- Regards, Manuel Lemos PHP Classes - Free ready to use OOP components written in PHP http://www.phpclasses.org/ PHP Reviews - Reviews of PHP books and other products http://www.phpclasses.org/reviews/ Metastorage - Data object relational mapping layer generator http://www.meta-language.net/metastorage.html -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Use the func_* functions, along with array_shift(). In addition, you'll
need to use either a standard-named static instantiator, or the class
name as the constructor method:
function create($class) {
$args = func_get_args();
array_shift($args); // remove $class from the args list
// Do this if using a standard-named static instantiator method
// across classes; in this case 'init':
return call_user_func_array(array($class, 'init'), $args);
// Or use a function named after the class name as the instantiator
// method (ala PHP4):
return call_user_func_array(array($class, $class), $args);
}

[PHP] Gathering CPU info from Linux and FreeBSD and placing it into a MySQL db
Hey all, First time poster to this mailing list, but I've been lurking for a week now, and it seems like there are a lot of helpful people on this list. I hope to help others out with problems I can answer for them in the future. Now, I have an important task at hand. My company has assigned me to write a script that will log into both our BSD and Linux boxes (we have about 400 boxes), gather up all the information about each system (Operating System, External IP Address, LAN Controller, Video Card, USB devices, Serial Port, Amount of Memory, # of Hard Drives, HD Brand, and HD Type (ide ata scsi raid)). We've gone over a few ideas, although we're not set in stone which route we want to take, or if there is an easier solution to this task at hand. Heck, even if there is something that has already been coded and can act as a foundation for this project would be grand. Okay, so here's what we've come up with so far: 1) Using parts of PHPSysInfo - Hack apart this script I found called phpsysinfo. I've already hacked it apart and it only displays what we're looking for. You can see what I'm talking about if you visit http://morano.hopto.org/phpsysinfo/index.php - Use the XML portion of the script to export all gathered data into an XML file. - Take the XML file and import it into the MySQL db 2) Finding a script that already does all this already (Ideal Solution) - I'm open to ideas on this one. After snooping around Linux and BSD, I've gathered that using a combination of sysctl, uname, and dmesg would get me the results I need, but this seems like the hard way, unless someone has already implemented a solution using these tools and PHP. Finding a script that already does everything I want IS the ideal solution, the trouble is finding it. I know it can be done, but I've been bashing my head against the wall for the past day and a half now. My head hurts and has a couple knots due to the wall being so thick, so now I turn to you folks in search for some guidance. If there is anything else I can answer to help clarify my task at hand, please let me know. I'm stepping out for lunch, but I'm pretty much stuck at work until a solution has been found, so I'll be checking the mailing list frequently (about every 5 mins!). The URL I provided to contains everything that is needed to be gathered. Also, if there are other resources such as forums, web site tutorials, script archives, etc. that I might be able to find answers from, I'd love to check them out. Thanks in advance.

Re: [PHP] html_entity_decode () for hellip;, rsquo;, etc.
Hi Marco
To awnser you question I do not know why it is excluded from the default
decode array. Maybe it could be that these are multibyte characters (any
takers)?
You can get a list of the entities that are changed
$trans = get_html_translation_table(HTML_ENTITIES);
echopre;print_r($trans);echo/pre;
to add some extras as you have below, use something similar to
function htmldecode($string)
{
$trans = get_html_translation_table(HTML_ENTITIES);
$trans[chr(0xe2).chr(0x80).chr(0xa6)] = 'hellip;';
$trans = array_flip($trans);
return strtr($string, $trans);
}
$string = hellip;amp;;
echo htmldecode($string) .\n;
Note: obviously hex e2 80 a6 make up the hellip chars.
Hope this helps
Cheers

The Content-disposition header is a made-up bull-crap thing that came
about with html enhanced (cough, cough) email.
If you want *EVERY* browser to download something, forget this header and
use:
header(Content-type: application/octet-stream);
The Content-disposition will, on *SOME* browsers, on *SOME* OSes appear to
be useful for getting the filename in the dialog prompt for Save As...
to be the filename you want.
Unfortunately, it does *NOT* work universally.
If you want a UNIVERSAL solution, make the URL look like it's a static
URL and have the filename you want to be used appear at the end of the
URL.
Converting dynamic to static-looking URLs is covered in many places.
Google for PHP $_SERVER PATHINFO
Under no circumstances should you be using headers like audio/mpeg if
you want me to download it -- I guarantee my browser will open that up in
an MP3 player. Many other users will also have been led through the
process to make that happen.
But if the browser doesn't download application/octet-stream it's a very
very very broken browser.

Can I ask why you are trying to write a script that from what I understand goes to each box to retrieve the data instead of pushing the data to the central db? You could write a little script in PHP that gathers the required information and then does an insert into your database. Then from the database you can create a webpage that is a view of all of your machines. On the local machine you can schedule your script to run every X minutes via crontab.

You could send it the various hacks such as Ping of Death ranging up to

I tried the following:
exec('SHUTDOWN -r -t 01');
or
exec('SHUTDOWN /r');
I received the following warning message: Warning: exec(): Unable to

Try something much more simple than SHUTDOWN
Can you do DIR?
exec(DIR, $output, $error);
echo OS Error: $errorbr /\n;
echo implode(br /\n, $output);
I believe Unable to fork translates into:
I can't even start an MS-DOS prompt up, much less run your command!
I never used this kind of functions before. What's wrong? In IIS for
Execute Permissions I have Scripts and Executables. What
permissions should I set for the Internet Guest Account? Or something
else caused the problem, not the permissions? Please help me.:)
First, you have to figure out for sure for sure what user/account PHP runs
as.
?php phpinfo();?
should clarify that.
Next, log in as that user and see if you can shutdown the machine.
If that *USER* can't do it, with a human typing, it's for sure PHP won't
be any better at it.
Next, figure out where the shutdown command actually lives, and provide a
FULL PATH to it:
C:\Windows\System32\blah\blah\blah\blah\shutdown.exe
You never know for sure if PHP's user is getting a full logged-in shell
with all the $PATH ($path?) stuff, or some kind of half-assed crippled
shell. Use a full pathname for everything, and you can ignore this issue.
Use the extra arguments to exec() as I did in the DIR example so you can
get the output from the Operating System about what happened.
Shutting down from PHP is not really any different from shutting down from
any other program or an MS-DOS prompt -- shutdown will terminate PHP
cleanly, just as it terminates every other program cleanly.
WARNING:
Seriously consider what happens if...
You get this to work, and some Bad Guy who hates you gains access to your

They can write PHP script on THEIR server to hit that page, oh, every 5

remote with it at all.
Or a disgrunted employee could put a Scheduled Task on the box to do it
internally.
Or...
You REALLY need to be certain about the security/usability implications of
this before you finalize it.
Lock down access to that page as much as you can.
SSL, password protected, maybe even have the script record a time-stamp
when it's run, and refuse to run itself more often than 3 times in one

Hi Nate, We are a hosting company. We use this Mambo-like CMS called CATS, which pretty much tells us what company owns what server(s) in our data centers. CATS will provide us with a list of details on the specs for each machine they own, which include the specs I listed (memory, # of cpus, etc.) Someone in our company deleted the table within the MySQL db that listed our 400+ machines. Since IT is slammed with other tasks, they have assigned me to this job. This is a step by step as to what I've decided needs to happen, in order for this task to operate (somewhat) smoothly. 1) Read IP addresses from a tab-delimited file, which will follow the format: abc.com 64.64.64.1 domain.com 255.213.6.4 blah.co.uk 29.42.200.9 etc.net 13.14.15.255 2) Assign the $domain variable to the domain name in each line, then assign $ipaddress to the actual ip address 3) Take $ipaddress and ssh into each box (we have a private/public ssh key set up) 4) (This is the undecided step) Run script to gather the necessary server information and export info into either a)CSV or b)XML 5) Take exported file and upload it/email it to my box/my email address 6) Take exported file and create a script to import the information into the CATS MySQL db (not handled by me, but I can easily take over responsibility on creating this script and implement it into my code) 7) Lather, rinse, repeat :) Hope this helps to clear up some information.

Re: [PHP] Restarting windows from php
I never used this kind of functions before. What's wrong? In IIS for Execute Permissions I have Scripts and Executables. What permissions should I set for the Internet Guest Account? Or something else caused the problem, not the permissions? Please help me.:) On windows, php uses cmd.exe to do exec() stuff. IIRC if your web server/php script is running as an underprivileged user (which it should be), it probably don't have read/exec access to cmd.exe. This is one possible cause of the fork error you mentioned. You can solve this by giving your php script access to cmd.exe, or copying cmd.exe into the directory that contains your php dll or exe. (you may have already done this, or this may be different in newer versions of windows -- I haven't had this issue in a while) Tyler -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] Redisplaying information from a HTML form
Hi there I'm absolutely new at this so forgive me if none of it makes any sense! I'm trying to write a page which lets you apply for tickets. I've written it in PHP and used simple variable names for all the input fields. Upon clicking submit, I want the form to be checked for incorrect formats and blank fields. I've managed to write the checking program in such a way that clicking submit launches an 'error' page which displays at the top of the page which field is wrong, and then redisplays the form. (The form redisplay is done using a function which uses the variables I used in the HTML form page). My problem is this: when the 'error' page comes up all of the text boxes will quite happily redisplay the data that was put into them, but I have a couple of drop-down boxes and radio buttons which lose their value. Is there a way I can make these boxes and buttons retain their value? Thanks Ravi Gogna -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] dynamic object instances
Thomas Angst wrote:
Hello List,
I would like to create an object inside a function with its classname
and a parameter list submitted by the function call.
function create($class, $parameter) {
$obj = new $class($parameter);
return $obj;
}
This is working very well. But I have not every time the same count of
parameters for a class constructor.
If this is a normal method call of an object I can realise it like this:
$ret = call_user_func_array(array($obj, 'method'), $parameter_array);
The $parameter_array contains as many entries as the function needs.
Works well too.
But how can I write a function to instance objects with various count of
parameters in the constructor?
I know, can do this with an eval. But I would like to find a solution
where I don't need an eval.
to keep it easy have your ctors be able to except an assoc array as the first
argument as an alternative to its normal arg list - or just use an assoc array
period - that combined with a call to expand() in the ctor.
then... something like:
function create($class, $params)
{
if (!class_exists($class)) {
return null;
}
return new $class( $params );
}
TAKE_NOTE
btw if your on php4 your probably what to be using lots of f'ing '' signs.
/TAKE_NOTE
alternatively it's either:
1. use eval() - yuck
2. make all your objects have empty ctors and force them to have an _init()
method that actually does the work e.g.
function create($class)
{
if (!class_exists($class)) {
return null;
}
$params = func_get_args();
$params = array_slice($params, 1);
$o = new $class();
call_user_func_array(array($o, '_init'), $params);
return $o;
}
3. re-evaluate what you are trying to achieve with the create function.
maybe you need a factory base class instead? (for instance)
thanks for all answers,
Thomas

[PHP] How efficient is OOP in PHP5?
Hi all, I have heard that function style is 400% faster than OOP in PHP, and give a little agreement. So in the past year, I write more PHP code in function way while less in OOP way. This morning, I read an article called How efficient is OOP in PHP according to the author's test, writing PHP code in procedural way(functions) is 200%+ faster than OOP way. But this article is written in 2003, now, I am using PHP5, how about the performance of OOP in PHP5? Could any one give me more efficient references?
