So I am wondering if it is possible to use PHP CLI binary for this purpose and if there are any problems with PHP in this case. No problems that I can think of as long as you use a custom php.ini file to avoid such things as safe_mode, max_execution_time, and various other nasties that you might bump into if you run it on various servers. I was said that using Perl script is more suitable for such task since PHP scripts have problems with sending large amount of mail. Bah humbug. PHP CLI works just fine, and, it is quite easy to do both ncurses and text positioning/coloring for both Windows and Linux, and it is a lot easier to run it either from the web or shell. It's not the PHP script that has the problem, in reality, it's just an issue of making sure that you're sending the mails in batches, which you can do if you make sure that there's no maximum execution time set for the PHP script. Is that true or not? Any success/failure stories? It is false. And, I am sure that someone can dig up a success story, but, I know for a fact that I'd rather use PHP for sending large amounts of email, especially if there's to be MIME parts and or HTML included in it. There are already several well-coded PEAR packages that do this for you out of the box.

Re: [PHP] cache xml objects in php5
Kevin Wang wrote: My php5 web application needs to parse/marshall a bunch of large xml files into php5 objects at the beginning of handling each request. These xml files are static across all the requests and it is really time consuming to parse/marshall them into php5 objects. What sort of PHP 5 objects? Do you mean simplexml objects, or do you mean dom objects? I am wondering if there is any means to cache these xml objects so that each request will not go through the same time consuming xml parsing/building operation. Serialization doesn't work in my case as deserialization is also very expensive. I am using Apache as the web server. What I am thinking is that if php5 allows us to keep certain objects (and their references) around across all the requests in a child process instead of cleaning all the object memory every time after a script/request is finished. Generally the best way to do this is to parse the data down closer to its final usage. Typically the final thing you need is not a simplexml or a dom object, what you really need is structured data and this can typically be represented with an associative array. Once you have it down to an array, you can use pecl/apc and its apc_store()/ apc_fetch() functions to cache these in shared memory without the slowdown of serialization. A decent example of this technique can be found in the little simple_rss function I wrote a while ago which parses all sorts of RSS feeds into a nested array and caches this final array in shared memory using APC. There really is no decent way to cache an object in shared memory without serialization. The simpler data types can however be cached with APC. Making them persistent is also a problem as it completely violates PHP's request sandbox concept. If you really feel you need this, write yourself a PHP extension and initialize these objects in your MINIT hook so they only get loaded at server startup and they will be available for the life of that process. Jasper Bryant-Greene wrote: Have you looked at memcache? http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.memcache.php You install and run the memcached server (it can be on localhost for a single server setup, or for many servers it can be shared if the interconnects are fast enough).

You may not realize you are serializing, but the memcache extension serializes internally. There was also no mention of needing to cache across servers here. -Rasmus (attempting to use the new Yahoo!

Re: [PHP] why does this not work?
javascript is a client-side language, while php is a server-side
language... the value you are passing to $width only exists on the
client side, therefore the php server-side boolean fails.
i think you will have to pass the client-side calculated variable of
screen.width to the php server before you can do this properly,
probably through a POST form or GET request. nice idea, though
(dynamically loading css based on screen resolution).

RE: [PHP] IIS E-Mail SOLVED
[snip] [snip] Okie dokie, I am losing it I am surebut that's not important now. I finally configured the IIS Virtual SMTP server as my MTA. No errors are being thrown, but no mail is being sent either. Well, it may being sent, but it is not arriving at its destination. Can someone clue me into some things to check with the IIS Vistrual SMTP Server as MTA for PHP? Any help would be greatly appreciated. [/snip] Furthermore, I just found the e-mail messages sitting in the Queue for IIS c:\Inetpub\mailroot\Queue [/snip] I just wanted to bring this back up as it is the start of a new week. TIA! [/snip] Well, it turns out that the solution is pretty simple once you figure out how to configure the virtual SMTP server as a relay. (I didn't try other MTA's, so there may be something easier and more robust out there.) The basic steps are this; All on my development box, Win2K, IIS 5.0, PHP 4.4.n, MS-SQL Server; A. Configure the local Virtual SMTP Server to relay mail only from 127.0.0.1 . This prevents others from attempting to use the server as a spam relay. Since PHP will be sending the e-mail for various applications all of the e-mail will be coming from the localhost. 2. Set the outbound relay to be your network mail server by providing the IP address of your network mail server to the virtual SMTP server on the box where PHP resides. All done. Unfortunately I was unable to find a comprehensive explanation of this anywhere and arrived at the solution after I spoke at length with my network administrator. He was also initially unsure of how to configure this but was appreciative of the fact that I wanted to limit the initial relay from the PHP box to local traffic only. OAN; I did not expect that the transition from a *nix environment to a Microsoft environment would provide the number and types of challenges that it has. I do find that the PHP transition has not been difficult at all though. There has to be some adjustment in the thought and planning due to the differences in the environment, but PHP fairs well through it all. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] __FILE__ and __LINE__ of calling scripts?
Hi,
I want to find out if it is possible to get the file name and the line
number of a calling script (__FILE__, __LINE_) from a calling class
automatically.
Let me explain:
I have a db class which gets called in other classes. Now, when an sql error
occurs I would like to find out which file and on which line it was.
E.g.:
[snip]
class DB {
function doQuery( $inq ) {
...
if( !this_result ) {
$this-drawError(**want the __FILE_ and __LINE__ of
the calling script here** ..);
...
}
}
}
class Caller {
function sql_doQuery() {
$SQL-doQuery('SELECT me FROM WHERE id=0');
}
}
[/snip]
The drawError function outputs the error report to the browser and halts the
script (developer debug).
Currently I get the __FILE__ and __LINE__ of the DB class, i.e. where the
query error happened (as in doQuery()).
Instead I would like to get something like caller.fileName,
caller.lineNumber (pseudo code).
Is that at all possible without having to pass the file name and the line
number into the query function manually?
Thanks

Easiest way to do that is to use sprintf() or printf():

$link_title = click my self-referring link;
printf('a href=%s?action=bigger%s/a', $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'],
$link_title);
?
Or, like you did with inline code in the HTML:

drawError() from the calling script and you'd have the __FILE__ and
__LINE__ there without doing a debug_backtrace() parse?
Just a thought.

Thomas wrote:
Hi,
I want to find out if it is possible to get the file name and the line
number of a calling script (__FILE__, __LINE_) from a calling class
automatically.
Let me explain:
I have a db class which gets called in other classes. Now, when an sql
error
occurs I would like to find out which file and on which line it was.
E.g.:
[snip]
class DB {
function doQuery( $inq ) {
...
if( !this_result ) {
$this-drawError(**want the __FILE_ and __LINE__ of
thecalling script here** ..);
...
}
}
}
class Caller {
function sql_doQuery() {
$SQL-doQuery('SELECT me FROM WHERE id=0');
}
}
[/snip]
The drawError function outputs the error report to the browser and halts
the
script (developer debug).
Currently I get the __FILE__ and __LINE__ of the DB class, i.e. where the
query error happened (as in doQuery()).
Instead I would like to get something like caller.fileName,
caller.lineNumber (pseudo code).
Is that at all possible without having to pass the file name and the line
number into the query function manually?
Thanks
Thomas

Re: [PHP] best way to save program prefs to a file?
Are you wanting the preferences to be real-time changeable? For example,
user preferences that can be modified then saved? If so, just store them in
an array, then serialize the array and save it to a file. Read the file at
every page load.
[code]
//save the settings
$user_settings['setting1'] = 'foo';
$user_settings['setting2'] = 'bar';
$fh = fopen('user_settings.dat');
$serialized = serialize($user_settings);
fwrite ($fh, $serialized, strlen($serialized));
fclose($fh);
//reload the settings
$user_settings = unserialize(file_get_contents('user_settings.dat'));
[/code]
Hope this helps.

Re: [PHP] best way to save program prefs to a file?
In larger applications, I prefer to serialize the array because it allows
you to store the data in _any_ variable, not just the pre-named variable.
For example, if your page is already using a variable named $user_settings,
you would run into problems with your solution. My solution allows you to
name the data however you want, however many times you want.
Of course, this is usually not necessary for a smaller application where you
wouldn't run into such a problem.

I don't know if it may help you, but why don't you set a constant in a
config file included by all your scripts to the CRLF value you want (if
you want it dependant on the OS you can use http://php.net/php_uname)
and then you append this constant to all your strings?
Example:
- config.inc.php:
define('CRLF', ( strtoupper(substr(PHP_OS, 0, 3)) === 'WIN' ? \r\n :
\n ) );
- other_script.php
require_once 'config.inc.php';
$string = 'Hi! My name is Pippo!' . CRLF;
Or something like this... ;-)

You could do something like:
if (strtoupper(substr(php_uname('s'), 0, 3)) == 'WIN') {
define('CRLF', \r\n);
} else {
define('CRLF', \n);
}
Then use the constant CRLF in your strings. You can put the above snippet in a
file that is auto-prepended whenever php is invoked.

It seems the best way to do this would be a predefined constant. You'd just
need to update the constant whenever you move to a new Operating System.
Then, just always append the constant to your strings:
//change for linux or windows
define('CRNL',\r\n);
//define('CRNL',\n);
print foobar.CRNL;

[PHP] Two MySQL connections in one script not working as expected
Hi all, I have a script that needs to update data in two databases. My db connections are both in class files that I created to execute the various connections and queries. What is happening is that the second database connection does not seem to work. The error I get is that it seems the second query is being executed against the first database connection - does that make sense? So I get an error that the database_name.table_name does not exist, which is true, but the query is getting executed against the wrong database name. Any ideas?

Re: [PHP] Two MySQL connections in one script not working as expected
Hi
Without you actually showing us these class files we can only guess but a
common mistake is this:
mysql_open(connection details)
mysql_query(query)
In those cases the last opened handle is used. To prevent this, use this
syntax
$db1=mysql_open(connection for db1);
$db2=mysql_open(connection for db2);
mysql_query($db1,$query_db_1);
mysql_query($db2,$query_db_2);
If you have used this syntax then check your class if it is using a global
variable to hold the database handle and if it does make it a class variable
instead
Instead of
$db=null
class db
{function db()
{$GLOBALS['db']=mysql_open(...
do instead
class db
{var $db=null;
function db()
{$this-db=mysql_open
That way you can instanciate as many instances of the class as you like and
each will have its own database handle.

Lowell, The - operator was taken from the pointer operator in C.

Note the difference between a class and an object -- an object is an instance of a class. if Run() is a static method (I.E. it has no references to $this) and $site is an instance of SiteClass, the following are equivalent: $site-Run(); SiteClass::Run(); If you're still confused, I can go further into the difference between an Object and a Class. -- Sincerely, A.J.

[PHP] Re: cache xml objects in php5
Hi Rasmus, Thanks a bunch for your kind help! Yes, you got exactly what I meant. I have my own classes to hold all the xml related data, so it might be a bit too difficult for me to convert my existing applications to use nested array instead. I tried to use apc to store nested array though, and it works great. I guess to only way to solve my problem is to write my own extension to initialize my objects in my own memory (even can keep them in local memory, as long as they are persistent across requests). You mentioned to write a MINIT hook; could you give some more details? Is there any documentation or available sample extensions that I can start with? Thanks. -- Kevin My php5 web application needs to parse/marshall a bunch of large xml files into php5 objects at the beginning of handling each request. These xml files are static across all the requests and it is really time consuming to parse/marshall them into php5 objects. What sort of PHP 5 objects? Do you mean simplexml objects, or do you mean dom objects? I am wondering if there is any means to cache these xml objects so that each request will not go through the same time consuming xml parsing/building operation. Serialization doesn't work in my case as deserialization is also very expensive. I am using Apache as the web server. What I am thinking is that if php5 allows us to keep certain objects (and their references) around across all the requests in a child process instead of cleaning all the object memory every time after a script/request is finished. Generally the best way to do this is to parse the data down closer to its final usage. Typically the final thing you need is not a simplexml or a dom object, what you really need is structured data and this can typically be represented with an associative array. Once you have it down to an array, you can use pecl/apc and its apc_store()/ apc_fetch() functions to cache these in shared memory without the slowdown of serialization. A decent example of this technique can be found in the little simple_rss function I wrote a while ago which parses all sorts of RSS feeds into a nested array and caches this final array in shared memory using APC. There really is no decent way to cache an object in shared memory without serialization. The simpler data types can however be cached with APC. Making them persistent is also a problem as it completely violates PHP's request sandbox concept. If you really feel you need this, write yourself a PHP extension and initialize these objects in your MINIT hook so they only get loaded at server startup and they will be available for the life of that process. Jasper Bryant-Greene wrote: Have you looked at memcache? http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.memcache.php You install and run the memcached server (it can be on localhost for a single server setup, or for many servers it can be shared if the interconnects are fast enough). Then you can cache just about any PHP variable, including objects, in memory. He did say that serialization wasn't an option and you can't use memcached without serializing. You may not realize you are serializing, but the memcache extension serializes internally. There was also no mention of needing to cache across servers here. -Rasmus (attempting to use the new Yahoo!

that's where it's going wrong. You're not linking db::db()'s link in the
db::insertData() mysql_query() function. Thus, the mysql_query function
defaults to the last opened mysql connection regardless of object. A
way to fix this is to store the link in $this-link instead, and
changing your mysql_query()'s to mysql_query($sql, $this-link);
same goes for your mysql_affected_rows() and mysql_insert_id() functions

Re: [PHP]PHP Syntax Notation
Hi As a complement to the answers you have had here I wish to ammend the following. The Run in the example is a function, and because this function is inside a Class object, it is called a method. A class is a set of variables (properties) and functions (methods) that you can create instances of. I suggest you consult the complete php documentation with user comments and examples at php.net. Available in many languages. This manual is used by many -including me- on a daily basis.

OK, no I could insert the stuff about server side and client side.
What you want to do is learn about the user's screen width. First of
all, this is a bad idea if I you want to use it for design purposes like
in this case where you include different CSS files. If I have a
1600x1200 screen, I can easily open a browser window at 640x480. And
now? And even if you don't evaluate the screen width but the browser
window's width: What about me resizing the already rendered page? Think
about better designing the page so you don't need to switch the CSS...
OK, enough of evangelism. If you really want to do what you told there:
Evaluate the JavaScript on your entry page. Then do a redirect to that
same page and insert the value into the URL (e.g.
index.php?scrwidth=1280). You can then access this from PHP via $_GET.
It is a good idea to store this value in the session once received so
you don't have to send it around on each link.

[PHP] Trying to install PHP
So I'm trying to install PHP with XML support. During configuration, I get an error saying I need a newer version of libxml2. So I download libxml2-2.6.22-1.i386.rpm and try to upgrade. No go as I get failed dependancies. I then also download libxml2-devel-2.6.22-1.i386.rpm and libxml2-python-2.6.22-1.i386.rpm to try to solve those dependencies. Nope, still no go. I'm told that I need a newer version of libc. Specifically, libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.3.4) is needed. So I then download the newest version, glibc-2.3.90-12.i386.rpm. I also download glibc-common-2.3.90-12.i386.rpm, glibc-devel-2.3.90-12.i386.rpm and glibc-headers-2.3.90-12.i386.rpm. I try to upgrade all of those packages hoping to finally get the ball rolling but no, still no go. In attempting to upgrade glibc, I'm given the following error: -- error: Failed dependencies: shadow-utils 2:4.0.3-20 conflicts with glibc-2.3.90-12 nscd 2.3.3-52 conflicts with glibc-2.3.90-12 binutils 2.15.94.0.2-1 conflicts with glibc-devel-2.3.90-12 tzdata = 2003a is needed by glibc-common-2.3.90-12 -- I'm not sure what the conflict errors indicate.

Re: [PHP] Trying to install PHP
So I'm trying to install PHP with XML support. During configuration, I get an error saying I need a newer version of libxml2. So I download libxml2-2.6.22-1.i386.rpm and try to upgrade. No go as I get failed dependancies. I then also download libxml2-devel-2.6.22-1.i386.rpm and libxml2-python-2.6.22-1.i386.rpm to try to solve those dependencies. Nope, still no go. I'm told that I need a newer version of libc. Specifically, libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.3.4) is needed. So I then download the newest version, glibc-2.3.90-12.i386.rpm. I also download glibc-common-2.3.90-12.i386.rpm, glibc-devel-2.3.90-12.i386.rpm and glibc-headers-2.3.90-12.i386.rpm. I try to upgrade all of those packages hoping to finally get the ball rolling but no, still no go. In attempting to upgrade glibc, I'm given the following error: -- error: Failed dependencies: shadow-utils 2:4.0.3-20 conflicts with glibc-2.3.90-12 nscd 2.3.3-52 conflicts with glibc-2.3.90-12 binutils 2.15.94.0.2-1 conflicts with glibc-devel-2.3.90-12 tzdata = 2003a is needed by glibc-common-2.3.90-12 -- I'm not sure what the conflict errors indicate.

Hi
Without you actually showing us these class files we can only
guess but a
common mistake is this:
mysql_open(connection details)
mysql_query(query)
In those cases the last opened handle is used. To prevent this,
use this
syntax
$db1=mysql_open(connection for db1);
$db2=mysql_open(connection for db2);
mysql_query($db1,$query_db_1);
mysql_query($db2,$query_db_2);
If you have used this syntax then check your class if it is using
a global
variable to hold the database handle and if it does make it a
class variable
instead
Instead of
$db=null
class db
{function db()
{$GLOBALS['db']=mysql_open(...
do instead
class db
{var $db=null;
function db()
{$this-db=mysql_open
That way you can instanciate as many instances of the class as
you like and
each will have its own database handle.

What I have is more like this:
class db {
var $dbpath = localhost;
var $dbname = testdb;
var $dblogin = test;
var $dbpass = test;
function db() {
$link = mysql_connect($this-dbpath, $this-dblogin, $this-
dbpass) or die ('Not Connected: ' . mysql_error());
mysql_select_db($this-dbname, $link) or die ('Can\'t use
this database: ' . mysql_error());
}
function retrieveData( $sql ) {
$rs = mysql_query( $sql ) or die(Invalid query: .
mysql_error ());
// if no result, return null
if (($rs == null) || (mysql_num_rows($rs) == 0)) {
return null;
} else {
return ( $rs );
}
}
function insertData( $sql ) {
mysql_query( $sql );
// return new id if insert is successful
if ( mysql_affected_rows() 0 ) {
return ( mysql_insert_id() );
} else {
return null;
}
}
function updateData( $sql ) {
$rs = mysql_query( $sql );
if (mysql_affected_rows() 0) {
return ( $rs );
} else {
return null; // no changes were made
}
}
}
I then have another class with a different name and I changed the
names of the functions as well. I have another set of class files
that contain my various queries etc.
Thanks for any help.
Charles
that's where it's going wrong. You're not linking db::db()'s link
in the db::insertData() mysql_query() function. Thus, the
mysql_query function defaults to the last opened mysql connection
regardless of object. A way to fix this is to store the link in
$this-link instead, and changing your mysql_query()'s to
mysql_query($sql, $this-link);
same goes for your mysql_affected_rows() and mysql_insert_id()
functions
