Warning
This extension has been deprecated as the PECL extension fileinfo provides
the same functionality (and more) in a much cleaner way.

LOL @ Jochem
Well I sure can't argue with that! (serious)
But with or without comments, the code is broken or breaks
something. I've tracked down the weird bevahiour a little further. Now I
would sure like, if one of you has about 30 minutes time to look at my
problem with me, using VNC and Skype
If you got the spare time I would really appreciate it and as I've been
unable to create some actual reproduce code, the only thing that's left
is looking at the real thing. I'm still sure it's related to the way I
use references, wheter it is or isn't a bug in the compiler, it sure
would be nice to know this particular DON'T about references.
Please let me know
1. it could be considered over-engineered
2. you seem to be reinventing the wheel (templating?)
3. you are lacking knowledge regarding php5 OO
(for starters why are not you using __construct() for the ctors?)
4. YOU ARE USING REFERENCES ALL OVER THE PLACE!!! ;-)
regarding no. 4, some examples:
function fs_handle_object_properties($object) {

// why bother sticking the object in a 'serialize container'?

function fs_serialize($object) {
// ^--- destroy it
$container=new fs_serialize_container();
$container-object=$object;
// ^--- destroy it
return serialize($container);
}
// what happens in this code when $name

$_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] contains whatever the browser passes to the server to identify itself, which may be faked by certain browsers at the discretion of the user.

[PHP] Re: Autodeleting news when it has become yesterdays news
I have a news-script on a webpage. Or an eventscript you might call it. This lists up events thats gonna happen on a given day. ie concerts and sportsevents. To get this deleted without having to log on to the adminpage when the event is over would have been a great relief. 1. Is it just as simple as writing a query that executes and removes news with yesterdays date? - Even simpler, why don't you keep the data instead of deleting it and write a query for the homepage which only displays events whcih occur in the future? 2. And how should I set it to execute if so? If you do want to execute a regular PHP script to delete data for some reason, look into cron (*nix) or task scheduler (windows) -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Decision table/business rule parser?
Hi folks As an alternative, I worked briefly on a native PHP Petri-net workflow engine with a guy called Tony Marston before we parted ways. He has written it up here: http://www.tonymarston.net/php-mysql/workflow.html I wrote to Tony a couple of months ago and he said that his workflow code might be available someday, but wasn't available currently. His ideas are published on his website, but only code snippets. The code is Tony's, so I can't help, I'm afraid. I think you'll find it's itertwined with his development framework, so I'm not sure how useful it would be as a standalone in any case.

Re: [PHP] Accessing Arrays in HTML
Shaun,
This:
$values[] = $value;
Does this:
$values[] = array('Scheduling' = '44');
Therefore, it must be accessed like this:
$values[$i]['Scheduling'] // gives '44'
But not this:
$values[$i][0] // index doesn't exist.

Re: [PHP] PHP and email
Hi Angelo, Why not send them all in one go? If you want to reduce server load, you should perhaps adjust the 'nice'ness of the script. If you do the following: nice --adjustment=19 ./script.php Your script will run in the background and use only spare resources.

Just at the beginning of the page with the news is my thought. So that it

If you wanted to do that, I'd recommend adding some sort of probability
factor into it, so not all scripts have to run the function.
e.g. 1% chance of cleaning up the database.

I would send them one at a time. While the script itself could probably
handle sending 50+ at a time, you have to think about the mail server.
Say you have the 8000 emails in an array

foreach ( $emails as $email ) {
mail ( $email, $subject, $message, $headers );

Example is still quite large, all database functionality and other arbitrary code has been stripped. Over 50.000 lines of code have been reduced to a few hundred. Example can be downloaded here: http://213.10.83.232/example.tar Explanation of example: - When you load index.php, the involved objects will be loaded into your session. - If you use the reset link, the objects will be reinitialized. - Continue just reloads index.php, objects will just wakeup from the session - You can change the title of the fs_ssl object, via the text input - Underneath the submit button, the current title of fs_ssl is displayed - The error that occurs in the real project: On changing (submitting) the title of ssl, the sso-properties array gets overwritten, this does not happen with this example Further, just explore the code to see what I'm doing exactly, if you need more comment on what i'm doing, I will add comments to the example source code.

I would send them one at a time. While the script itself could probably
handle sending 50+ at a time, you have to think about the mail server.
Say you have the 8000 emails in an array
#!/usr/local/bin/php
?php
// Stuff to get email addresses

foreach ( $emails as $email ) {
mail ( $email, $subject, $message, $headers );

I have done it just as John has described above, though I didn't have 8000
to send. All went well, no hiccups. A couple of things I would mention is
that I seem to remember reading somewhere that the sleep() function on
Windows eats a lot of processor. Not an issue for me since I'm on Linux,
but worth a mention. And the function John suggested above will take over
22 hours to send 8000 emails. Since you say its a one shot deal, its
probably OK.

I use some code just like that at least once a month to send out a
newsletter for a site I run, and it works fine. I'm only sending out
appx 1400 emails though, so I can afford to let it sleep for a longer
period of time. You can probably go lower on the sleep time, but it all
depends on your setup.
A better solution, if you have access to it and your mail server
supports it, is to just inject the whole thing...that way you're not
making a SMTP connection each time.

3. you are lacking knowledge regarding php5 OO

4. YOU ARE USING REFERENCES ALL OVER THE PLACE!!! ;-)
regarding no. 4, some examples:
function fs_handle_object_properties($object) {
// ^--- destroy it
// why bother sticking the object in a 'serialize container'?
// and where was the class defined in the example code???
function fs_serialize($object) {
// ^--- destroy it
$container=new fs_serialize_container();
$container-object=$object;
// ^--- destroy it
return serialize($container);
}
// what happens in this code when $name

function fs_handle_object_properties($object) {

function edit($structure) {
//^-- ???
global $stdo;
foreach($this-properties as $key=$property){
// ^-- $property is an object
print $property-parse();
}
and so on. getting rid of all the referencing of objects will most
probably get rid of your problems - I'll pass on the argument
as to whether it should work as it is.
-
you might also want to read up on __call(), __set()
and __get(). oh and there are the functions is_array(),
is_object() and the keyword 'instanceof' which you

check your variables.

If you got the spare time I would really appreciate it and as I've been
unable to create some actual reproduce code, the only thing that's left
is looking at the real thing. I'm still sure it's related to the way I
use references, wheter it is or isn't a bug in the compiler, it sure
would be nice to know this particular DON'T about references.
Please let me know
1. it could be considered over-engineered
2. you seem to be reinventing the wheel (templating?)
3. you are lacking knowledge regarding php5 OO
(for starters why are not you using __construct() for the ctors?)
4. YOU ARE USING REFERENCES ALL OVER THE PLACE!!! ;-)
regarding no. 4, some examples:
function fs_handle_object_properties($object) {
// ^--- destroy it
I will
// why bother sticking the object in a 'serialize container'?
// and where was the class defined in the example code???
function fs_serialize($object) {
// ^--- destroy it
$container=new fs_serialize_container();
$container-object=$object;
// ^--- destroy it
return serialize($container);
}
The container is used so references within $object to $object will remain
intact, the class is missing from the example code, because the example
isn't going to serialize or unserialize anything
// what happens in this code when $name
// is 'properties' or some other value that
// is the name of pre-defined object attribute?
function fs_handle_object_properties($object) {
global $stdo;
$changed=false;
if(isset($object-properties)
is_array($object-properties)) {
foreach($object-properties as $name= $property) {
if(isset($property-changed)
$property-changed==true){
$object-changed=true;
$changed=true;
$object-$name=$property-value;
}
}
This is most definitely a bug, or overlook issue, however, this is not the
cause of my problem
// if you are already using $_SESSION why complicate matters
// by also storing duplicate stuff in $_COOKIE? _seems_ a
// waste of time.
function fs_process_properties(){
if(isset($_COOKIE['fs_properties'])){
$properties=explode(';',$_COOKIE['fs_properties']);
This function is used for external data input from the clients. I do not
post all forms, some are sent by cookie
function fs_unserialize($string) {
// ^-- destroy it
I will
class std_page {
/* ... */
function edit($structure) {
//^-- ???
global $stdo;
foreach($this-properties as $key=$property) {
// ^-- $property is an
object
print $property-parse();
}
and so on. getting rid of all the referencing of objects will most
probably get rid of your problems - I'll pass on the argument
as to whether it should work as it is.
-
I will remove them
you might also want to read up on __call(), __set()
and __get(). oh and there are the functions is_array(),
is_object() and the keyword 'instanceof' which you
might want to consider making more use of in order to
check your variables.
But still I would like to ask you to take a look with me

Re: [PHP] Re: PHP and email
I have implemeted a system that dispatches between 600 to 2000 emails every night. An email is sent for each recepient. My system is hosted on a shared Linus server. I have not heard any complaints from the hosting company so far. Here are my recommendations: - Have a cron job that kicks off your PHP script at intervals long enough to guarantee the completion of an earlier execution of the script. - Have a sleep interval between a predefined number of emails sent. You need to figure out what works well for you depending on your dispatch frequency, etc. (I would keep the sleep interval short.) - No need to nice anything. The problem is the load on the smtp server. You need to give it some time to process what you sent already before sending more emails. - Log all outbound activity. We log the email addresses of who receives each message. That provides auditing and helps in recovering any failures. - We use flags in our database to flag what messages were sent successfully. That way, we can search and resend any failed messages. Hope this helps. -- Anas Mughal

Re: [PHP] mysqli unclonable object
Thanks for your attention Curt, but unfortunatly that is not the issue.
Compatibility mode is not on.
For documentation's sake, I think the problem is that there are other links
in the code using the same credentials. When you declare a link resource to
a database, PHP first searches to see if there is already one open,
therefore despite the fact that this link wasn't even using the same library
(mysql vs mysqli) it didn't matter; only one connection to the database
could be made (as root in this case).

Hello, on 11/23/2005 02:58 AM Joe Wollard said the following: I'm running a rogue (the company knows about it but doesn't support it) web server for my dept and I'd like to be able to authenticate users transparently. The company is currently doing this on their own supported Intranet servers via NTLM on IIS. All I'm really looking for here is a way to extract the user name from the 'Authentication:' HTTP header using PHP on Apache (FC4). It seems that some of the string can be extracted using base64_decode(). Unfortunately it is not the part of the string that I need. It's just the domain name, the computer's NET BIOS name and the Auth-type which of course is NTLMSSP. I found a mod_ntlm for Apache, but even if I could compile it on FC4 (yes, I tried) I'm not sure I need/want the full functionality of NTLM - just a way to extract the user name of the user logged into the client machine from the HTTP header using apache. mod_ntlm is exactly what tou need. It seems that there are many sites out there that do this in Java and Perl, but none describe a way to do this in PHP..any ideas? PHP or any other language do not do anything. The Web server authentication module performs the authentication dialog and pass it to the scripts of any language through the environment variable LOGON_USER.

[PHP] http protocols defining what gets sent between web server and browser
hi... this might not be a php question but might still provide interest... I'm working on a project, and need to know if there's anyone who's a guru with Web Server/Client interactions. Basically, I'm trying to get a much better/deeper understanding of the HTTP protocols defining the information that is sent/transfered between the web server/client browser apps. I'm interested in understanding what the various information is that gets transfered between the apps, as well as understanding what information can be spoofed/altered on the client side, as it goes back to the server. I know you can get the querystring information from the get/put/request/etc... I'm more interested in any other information that gets transferred as potentially part of the header structure, like machine id, mac address, date/time, etc I'm interested in whether this can be spoofed/altered, and potentially rendered invalid by a 'man in the middle' type of attack. Searching google isn't getting me what i really want!! So, if you have the skills/expertise in this area, and you're willing to talk to me for a few minutes, I'd appreciate it.

Re: [PHP] http protocols defining what gets sent between web server and browser
I find the LiveHTTPHeaders extension for firefox to be very good for this kind of thing. http://livehttpheaders.mozdev.org/ It gives you a realistic (as opposed to theoretical) view of exactly what is being sent between the browser and the server. Networking details that you listed like the mac address are handled in the networking layer rather than by the browser, you probably also want to look up TCP/IP headers.
