Checking both file_exists and then doing fopen seems a bit silly.
Trap the error from fopen, and just use that as your file_exists test.
I suspect http://php.net/file_get_contents will be SLIGHTLY faster
than doing all of this code, though:
if (filemtime($filename) time()) $contents =
@file_get_contents($filename);
if ($contents === false){
//error-handling code
}
else{
echo $contents;
}
Then, of course, we have to wonder if you NEED $contents for later use
in the script.
If not, something like this will clock in better:
$bytes = @readfile($filename);
if ($bytes === false){
//error-handling code
}
This seems to be the best solution. I do not need $content anymore. I ll
post results. :)
The difference here is that you don't even stuff the file into the PHP
string. It's all read and passed out to stdout in low-level internal
PHP C code, and the data never needs to hit PHP variables which are
more expensive to setup and maintain.
Note that which is REALLY fastest will probably depend on the size of
the files, your OS system cache, your hardware, and maybe which
version of PHP you are using, if the underlying functions changed.
Must be nice to be worried about 0.0x milliseconds -- I'm fighting a
mystery 3.0 seconds in a data feed for a search engine myself :-)
Search engine ... thats the most complicated!

try `ssh' onto the server and
test locally on the server, use `wget', `curl' or even write a small script...
what do you get this time ?
low traffic may also problemical, if the server shares bandwith with
other host, and there are busy ones among them.

[PHP] Invoking a DLL with PHP
Good morning gurus and gurettes! I have been asked (and I think that we may have discussed this before in general terms, a long time ago) to perform the preliminary analysis on a project that ideally would have me invoking an existing .DLL using PHP. I have been googling for tidbits for several days without much luck. I have not built a test, but I will be doing so later today or tomorrow. Does anyone have any insight to this type of process? Would I have to build a PHP extension and compile the DLL as part of PHP's configuration? Ideally the DLL would be a black box that could be accessed utilizing functions that I build without a re-compile of any type.

Ideally the DLL would be a black box that could be accessed utilizing functions that I build without a re-compile of any type. Have only done this once, but I didn't compile the DLL into PHP because that would have meant updating the php build every time a new DLL was released, and updating the functions / documentation accordingly. The DLL was built specifically with a COM interface which I accessed using the PHP COM functions (as I'm sure you've seen already). The DLL authors had to rejig their original code a little, but it was a far less painful process than compiling the DLL into PHP. However for the next revision we are likely to move the DLL code into the .NET framework, build a SOAP interface to it (C#) and let PHP talk to it that way.

Once you have performed move_uploaded_file() you will have to fopen and loop
through the file to read and perform error checking. After you have
processed the file you could then unlink() it, removing it from the server's
disk. Here is an example where Excel files are uploaded as tab delimited
text;
/*real file name*/
$fileName = ($HTTP_POST_FILES['docfile']['name']);
$docWork = /path/to/file/after/move/;
move_uploaded_file($HTTP_POST_FILES['docfile']['tmp_name'], $docWork .
$fileName) or die(File cannot be uploaded);
/*
** open uploaded file and do stuff to it
*/
$i = 0;
$fileTab = fopen($docWork.$fileName, r);
while(!feof($fileTab)){
$fileLine = fgets($fileTab, 1024);
$arrLine = explode(\t, $fileLine);
$cmLength = strlen($arrLine[0]);
/* do other stuff here */
}
fclose($fileTab);

If you are using the standard file upload facilities, your file is being
written to disk when it is being uploaded. As far as I can tell, fgetcsv()
will only read a file from disk:
?php // from the manual
$row = 1;
$handle = fopen (test.csv,r);

[PHP] PHP5+FastCGI Segmentation Fault
Hello, I have Apache 2, PHP5 (cgi-fcgi), FastCGI, and Suexec on FC4 64-bit, and it works for the most part, but some 3rd-party PHP software written for PHP4 will break and in my error_log I've seen the message: FastCGI: (dynamic) server /.../php-fcgi terminated due to uncaught signal '11' (Segmentation fault), causing it to flood the error_log with messages that it could not remain running for 30 sec and its restart was backed off to 600 seconds, then reports an Internal Server Error. Is this normal or expected from some PHP scripts, or is there a misconfiguration in my setup? How do I troubleshoot this? Any help would be appreciated, thanks. -Jason Kovacs

[PHP] PHP and sessions

Can anybody help me with sessions?
Where is the problem? I start session in start.php script.

session_start();
$_SESSION['fig1'] = 'split';

..
$split = http://;. $_SERVER['HTTP-HOST']. dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']).
/split.php;
?
a href=?php echo $split ? target=_blank title=Split userSplit
testing/a

After link cliking in IE or OPERA they start new session. How can I conect
to existing session?
?php // split.php
session_name('test');
session_start(); // unable to connect to existing session, create another
one.
?
..
..
..
I used this two scripts wit DeepNet Explorer and all works fine, but in IE
and OPERA function session_start() called from split.php start new session
so I can't read $_SESSON array than.
Thanks for any hints

Re: [PHP] Uploaded CSV - database
Actually I think fgetcsv will work with any valid file pointer and at
least in PHP 5, the streams implementation will allow you to use a variety
of protocols to create the stream.
http://us2.php.net/manual/en/wrappers.php
I understand that it isn't even too teribbly difficult to implement your
own stream if one isn't already to your liking, but I'm afraid I haven't
found need to go beyond the simple read-a-file-from disk style operation.

It looks like all of those tips will easily cover me for the latter

not ever
have to actually write the file to the server's disk.
Thanks!
If you are using the standard file upload facilities, your file is
being
written to disk when it is being uploaded. As far as I can tell,
fgetcsv()
will only read a file from disk:
?php // from the manual
$row = 1;
$handle = fopen (test.csv,r);
while ($data = fgetcsv ($handle, 1000, ,)) {
$num = count ($data);
print p $num fields in line $row: br\n;
$row++;
for ($c=0; $c $num; $c++) {
print $data[$c] . br\n;
}
}
fclose ($handle);

Judging sheerly by functionality and compatibility the second ways is better. However, judging from what I know about PHP, nobody tries to make that way easier, because everybody assume that everyone else use the first way. Is it good old catch 22 in action, or are there some design considerations I'm not aware of? A great number of people have worked on, and are working on, ways to make this easier. Most people, however, find it more practical to simply have 2 different server configurations (old and new) and migrate clients onto the new server slowly, at the CLIENT'S pace, instead of losing customers by just trashing their site out from under them. Actually, I was speaking about PHP developers. As was I... Keep in mind that most, if not all, PHP developers are also PHP users and have to manage servers just as you do. They surely did not intentionally make things difficult for themselves on purpose. We know for a fact that they have tried, in the past: 1. Different filename extensions. 2. Having 2 versions in a single Apache Module at one time 3. Running one of 2 versions as CGI 4. Putting some services/hosts on a different server, masking it through Apache magic proxy thingie. The sheer fact that they bothered to write compatibility mode shows that they don't really count on hosters using two engines side-by-side. On the other hand, the only disadvantage of such approach is installation, and developers have the power to remove this shortcoming. Since they preferred the first way of handling compatibility, there must be some language design issues with the second one. It would be interesting to know/discuss them. Perhaps you should subscribe to and search through the Developers' and Internals mailing lists where such conversations take place. I daresay a great deal of information and discussion is there.

Jasper After some consideration I am pretty sure it works, since an iframe/ is just the same as a frame/, and I am dead certain you can open a PDF document, or a Word document, or a Flash file, inside a frame without anything crashing. As for the PDF toolbar, I think that with the proper CSS styles on the iframe/ element you can make it pretty apparent that the iframe/ contains a PDF document. Also, when using iframe/ you are weeding out those old browsers that wouldn't support even loading an iframe/, which means that you get relatively new browsers, and those should all support this method. Besides, if this is for an editor interface, for a specific client, one could reasonably demand that they use at least one of the newer browsers such as IE5+ or Mozilla.

If you consider the feature worth implementing, weighing the options, you implement it, or you don't, either way, your choice. I merely stated that it does work, when using a recent browser. The iframe/ tag was added in IE3+ which is pretty darn old, and if you've seen ANYBODY using anything Microsoft-made prior to IE3 in your server logs of late, let me know. :) The following major browsers have support for iframe/: Internet Explorer for Macintosh: 5.2 (not sure about 5.1) Internet Explorer: 3.0 and above Mozilla: 1.0 and above Netscape Navigator: above 4.0 (which should be 6.0) Opera: 4.0 and above Safari: 1.0 and above So, if you use one of these browsers, and considering that you rarely (I'd say about %1-5) see people using anything below these versions, you'd be safe adding an iframe/ if you wanted to. If the browser does not have support for iframe/ it will ignore the tag and it won't break anything at all. As Jason Karns showed in the example from cstv, and you could test that on all your different browsers and see what happens, if they have the plugin installed, it ought to work... But, on that note, if it is entirely vital to display the PDF, why not convert the PDF to HTML instead and display that then? Would work in all browsers, a little hit on the server performance, which can be avoided by caching the results of a PDF - HTML conversion. Don't ask me where to get code for this, as I have no clue, but I am sure it exists somewhere.

Here's my changes to FCKEditor, and it works on version 2.0 RC3, but should
work for other later versions too unless drastic changes have been made by
it's developers to the affected scripts. I tried to clean it up for you as
much as possible and took out my customizations using doc ID's and broadened
it to use string URL's, which you'll need to write along with the doc
entry's Title to a static JS file that gets read by FCKEditor (using php).
The code also handles grouping uploaded documents into 1-level-deep groups,
so this is something you'll have to keep track of in your upload utility.
If that's not something you need or can easily figure out, just take out the
JS code that deals with Option Groups and flatten the document data array.
FCKEditor Customization Notes for linking Documents

By Jason Kovacs - 2005-05-04
1. Install the FCKeditor utility to /path/to/public_html/js/FCKeditor/.
2. The directory /path/to/public_html/js/data/ must be created and have
permissions of 777.
3. Set up the Document Upload utility to write static data to the file
/path/to/public_html/js/data/fck_link_docdata.js
with the following structure:
---
var documentGroups = [Group 1,Group 2];
var documentData =
[
[
[Doc Title 1,URL],
[Doc Title 2,URL]
],
[
[Doc Title 1,URL],
[Doc Title 2,URL]
]
];
---
4. Rename ./js/FCKeditor/editor/dialog/fck_link.html to fck_link.php and
Edit it to have these changes:
4a. Below meta name=robots content=noindex, nofollow /, insert:
SCRIPT Language=JavaScript!--
?
@readfile(/path/to/public_html/js/data/fck_link_docdata.js);

5. Edit ./js/FCKeditor/editor/dialog/fck_link/fck_link.html to have these
changes:
5a. Add these lines after LoadSelection() ; in the window.onload
function() call:
// Load the Documents select menu with optgroups/options from the included
data arrays.
LoadDocumentData() ;
5b. Before the SetLinkType function, add the following:
function LoadDocumentData()
{
var sUrl = GetE('txtUrl').value;
var docSelectObj = GetE('cmbLinkDocument');
for(var i=0; i documentGroups.length; i++)
{
optGroup = document.createElement('optgroup');
optGroup.label = documentGroups[i];
docSelectObj.appendChild(optGroup);
for(var j=0; j documentData[i].length; j++)
{
var objOption = document.createElement(option);
objOption.innerHTML = documentData[i][j][0];
objOption.value = documentData[i][j][1];
if(objOption.value == sUrl) objOption.selected = true;
optGroup.appendChild(objOption);
}
}
}
5c. Change the line in the function SetLinkType from:
window.parent.SetTabVisibility( 'Advanced' , (linkType != 'anchor' ||
bHasAnchors) ) ;
To the line:
window.parent.SetTabVisibility( 'Advanced' , false ) ;
5d. Change the line in the function

It is an older DLL containing engineering functions and it is huge. The real dingle here is that I only need to access some of the functionality of the DLL. I also do not want to compile it into PHP as it (the DLL) is a moving target. If the resources allow, you could always write a small command-line driven Windows app that passes arguments through to the DLL functions and returns the results? Then exec() the app. It's a bit too messy for my liking, but it's certainly an option. Cheers, Rich Hi all, I did some succesful works on this issue using php4, i don't know if all the methods i'm going to tell you work for php5 anyway. The details of what you need to do with that dll from the php code or the way the target dll works will let you take one or other way... These are some of them: You can build your own dll -or use that older dll as you say-, assuming it have exported the necessary functions and calling them using the php_w32api extension, just register necessary types, functions and you're ready to go, without any kind of recompilation of php or any dll static linking, the dll is just loaded when you register the dll functions from the php code using that beautiful extension. There are some tricks if you take this way, in relation with the type and size of data you need to send or receive from the dll, but it works pretty well. And you could code your own dll wrapper interface to the older dll if some workaround is needed to have it working -perhaps callbacks, hard data types, etc.- Anyway could be a bit hard to success if you have to send or receive complex data types like arrays, pointers, handles, etc. etc. but it really depends on what you need to do with your data in the dll side, maybe you could serialize and send as a string for the whole array -excuse me, sure this is a bit off topic for your case-, or perhaps you could call a function per every single item in the array you want to send to the dll, then when finished maybe call another function to process the previously loaded data. Calls via this extension really go very fast and cause very low overhead. Another way is by using your dll from a COM interface as Richard says, an easy way to do this could be create an activex dll from Vb6 (that dll or exe is just a com server or maybe you want to call it ole, but for this is just the same thing). Then, you could write the needed code in Vb for your functionality or perhaps wrapping the dll with this Vb activex object. This way you can send from php easily complex data types like arrays, and use an oo interface to the dll. Maybe you will need to hide some of the complexities with data types in the Vb COM interface instead of having to lead with this in the php code -what happens with the first way exposed-. So for some uses this can be better. The worse is that you need to register the object in the registry, as it is a COM server. One more way is to create your library functions -or wrapper functions- within a vc++ executable, and embed php into it, this way you can code the php-dll interface as you were coding a php extension and use that functions as php functions and methods, linking your project with php_embed and handling it inside your executable to do the work. Of course, this way isn't really possible if you need to have php running on a webserver, as you need to link dynamically with php4_ts.dll These methods give you poweful ways to extend or workaround over php limits... :-P So that was my 2cents. :^) Hope it helps to clears a bit what could you do to get the job done.

Re: [PHP] re: some problems with php form
Wait a minute... you meant
input class=
?PHP
if ($error_msg)
{
echo input.error;
}
else
{
echo input.normal;
}
? id=firstname name=firstname type=text value=?PHP echo
$_POST['firstname'];?
...or am I looking at the wrong thing?

Shouldn't you jsut be echoing error or normal . A period isn't
allowed in a class dafinition, and the css will work for all elements of
type input with a class of error. Also you don't seem to be closing the
PHP tag at the right place
This is how I would do what it looks like you're trying to do.
input class=?php echo !empty($error_msg)?'error':'normal'? id=firstname name=firstname
type=text value=?php echo htmlspecialchars($_POST['firstname'])? /
