Hello,
I've installed a SUN server under Solaris 9 with Apache 2.0.55, PHP
5.1.1, Informix 9.40.UC6, Informix Client SDK 2.90.UC3, Informix
Webdatablade 4.13.UC3. Now I try to get information from the Informix
database via a PHP ifx_connect function and on the same apache server
using the Informix webdatablade tool (old pages not yet migrated ...).
The php and informix modules are loaded in the apache httpd.conf :
#IBM Informix Web DataBlade DSO Module Added
LoadModuleinformix_module
/d3/apache2/wwwdbdev/ifmx-bin/drvapch2.so
# Load the necessary PHP modules
LoadModule php5_modulemodules/libphp5.so
I'm not able to have php and webdatablade connections to informix work
together ...
Case 1:
---
If I load the informix module first in the httpd.conf file the php ifx
functions doesn't work and I get the following incomplete error message :
*Warning*: ifx_connect() [function.ifx-connect
https://furio.unil.ch/php-dhz/function.ifx-connect]: E [SQLSTATE= in
*/d3/apache2/wwwdbdev/php-dhz/testifmx.php* on line *3*

*Warning*: printf() [function.printf
https://furio.unil.ch/php-dhz/function.printf]: Too few arguments in
*/d3/apache2/wwwdbdev/php-dhz/testifmx.php* on line *7*
The php script is below :
?php
$ConnId = ifx_connect ([EMAIL PROTECTED],xx,xx);
$ResId = ifx_query (SELECT * FROM dhtable, $ConnId);
if (! $ResId) {
printf(Can't select names : %s\nbr /%sbr /\n, ifx_error());
ifx_errormsg();
die;
}
ifx_htmltbl_result($ResId, border=\1\);
ifx_free_result($ResId);
ifx_close($ConnId);
?
On the other hand the webdatablade connection works normally ...
Case 2:
---
If I load the php module before the informix module in the httpd.conf
file, the php ifx_connect function works correctly, but now the
wedatablade connection fails (never answer)
I need the two ways to connect to the database, since we actually still
use both I've asked IBM for a solution, but they propose me to
submit this problem to PHP people since IBM didn't develop the ifx
functions to connect to the informix database via PHP.
Any help would be appreciated !
Best regards

is it possible that you are only allowing a single connection (or a number of
them) and that when apache comes up it's child processes eat up all the

You need a domain name pointing to your IP address for a start, then
you either need to configure php.ini to use the correct email or you
should pass the additional param to sendmail, as shown below.
Taken from php.net:
The additional_parameters parameter can be used to pass an additional
parameter to the program configured to use when sending mail using
the sendmail_path configuration setting. For example, this can be
used to set the envelope sender address when using sendmail with the
-f sendmail option.
The user that the webserver runs as should be added as a trusted
user to the sendmail configuration to prevent a 'X-Warning' header
from being added to the message when the envelope sender (-f) is set
using this method. For sendmail users, this file is
/etc/mail/trusted-users.
The additional_parameters parameter can be used to pass an
additional parameter to the program configured to use when sending

Do you get this message for all the domains you send the mail to? or you
get this message from some specific domains?
Did mails went to thses domains without problems earlier?
When you send mail to gmail.com address check if it is in buld or spam

Interesting way to solve the problem. I thought about checking whether the keys are present (if not the checkbox is set to N.) I wil definitily try this option as well. Thxs all!

The value of these boxes is stored in an array: $used[]. Now I found that the value of checked boxes (value = 'Y') are stored in the array while non checked boxes are not stored at all.

For example: for 4 checkboxes the values are checkbox 1: array index = 0 value = Y checkbox 2: array index = 1 value = Y checkbox 3: value = N : it does not occur in the array checkbox 4: array index = 2 value = Y Is there a way to, as it were, complete the array and have all values stored, even the N values? So that array index 2 has a value of N, and array index 3 is Y. Thxs Sjef Seems like I recall solving this problem. It's been a long time, so you'll need to try it.

I would also like to exicute a mysql stament that pasess the tables and removes fields older than say 72 hours. how would i go about this . ? A timestamp is the time in seconds (since Jan 1 1970), so you can ascertain the age in seconds by subtracting the stored timestamp from the current timestamp. You can find the current timestamp in MySQL using the CURRENT_TIMESTAMP() function. Once you have the age of the record, finding 72 hours is fairly trivial - 72 hours is 259200 seconds (72hrs * 60mins * 60secs). Therefore your query will be: DELETE FROM TABLE WHERE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP() - FIELD 259200 Following Albert's reply, the query ought to read: DELETE FROM TABLE WHERE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP() - UNIX_TIMESTAMP(FIELD 259200 David David, your solution is correct (though you made a typo; it should read: DELETE FROM TABLE WHERE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP() - UNIX_TIMESTAMP(FIELD) 259200), though slow because mysql needs to calculate a timestamp, based on all the times/dates stored. Now, all these methods depend on how the OP stored the dates in his database. In general, there are 2 ways which are used most often: 1 - As a UNIX timestamp (as per Albert's example), or 2 - As a MySQL-timestamp (as per ISO 8601; -MM-DD) If the OP uses #1 to store the date, the easiest way is to do a modification of David's solution, and do: DELETE FROM TABLE WHERE field UNIX_TIMESTAMP(NOW())-259200, this is a quick solution, because all MySQL now needs to do is compare an integer to an integer for each row (which is pretty fast). If the OP uses #2, then it's easier to use MySQL's built-in functions for date-comparison. It's actually faster than converting the dates to UNIX timestamps and comparing them as per #1, so let's do that. To achieve this, you can use mysql's own date functions: DELETE FROM TABLE WHERE field NOW()- INTERVAL 72 HOUR hope this short discussion helped, - tul -- Gregory Machin [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.linuxpro.co.za www.exponent.co.za Web Hosting Solutions Scalable Linux Solutions www.iberry.info (support and admin) +27 72 524 8096

Try using mysqldump to pull the data into a flat file full of SQL statements. You can then use the mysql command to reinsert the data. An alternate method, which I found to be more reliable, would be to put the database files in a tarball, transfer it to the new server and then extract the tarball into the database directory. I am running MySQL on a Linux server. The databases are in /var/lib/mysql. If your database is called db then there will be a db directory in /var/lib/mysql. Before making the backup you either need to stop MySQL (preferred) or flush all data to tables and make sure nothing is writing/reading to/from the database. To put it in a tarball: origin# cd /var/lib/mysql origin# tar cvf db_backup_20060112.tar db You then copy that db_backup_20060112.tar file to the MySQL data directory of your destination server and once it's there extract it again: origin# scp db_backup_20060112.tar [EMAIL PROTECTED] destination# cd /var/lib/mysql destination# tar xvf db_backup_20060112.tar You then might need to set permissions if the UID of your origin server MySQL user and destination server MySQL user is not the same.

I want to end up with: $prop = '$Fencing +11$Lumber +17$Weight: 317 Stones$Energy Resist 2%$'; Notice that original and final strings are the same length. reg_replace( ' (\d+\$)', '+$1', $prop ); /* results in dollar-alpha-space-space-plus, why have digits-dollar have disappeared? */ $Fencing +Lumber +Weight: 317 Stones$Energy Resist 2%$ Although the docs say that $0 should backreference the whole pattern, instead it seems to match the pattern in parenthesis, but this code : reg_replace( ' (\d+\$)', '+$0', $prop ); /* results in dollar-alpha-space-space-plus-digits-dollar */ $Fencing +11$Lumber +17$Weight: 317 Stones$Energy Resist 2%$ Still contains the two blanks!!

Re: [PHP] text size
Hi, I have a variable called $text_size which can be small, medium or large. The value is submitted by a text link a href=? $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ??text_size=small class=size1A/a a href=? $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ??text_size=medium class=size2A/a a href=? $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ??text_size=large class=size3A At the start of the page I initialise it to small if it hasn't been set $text_size = isset($_GET['text_size'] ) ? $_GET['text_size'] : 'small' What I want to do is store the most current value for $text_size in a session $_SESSION['text_size'] and then if I move to the next page start a session and use the strored value so the value is not reset on every page.

No, actually there is no limitation for the number of connection to the
database ...

Hello,
I've installed a SUN server under Solaris 9 with Apache 2.0.55, PHP
5.1.1, Informix 9.40.UC6, Informix Client SDK 2.90.UC3, Informix
Webdatablade 4.13.UC3. Now I try to get information from the Informix
database via a PHP ifx_connect function and on the same apache server
using the Informix webdatablade tool (old pages not yet migrated ...).
The php and informix modules are loaded in the apache httpd.conf :
#IBM Informix Web DataBlade DSO Module Added
LoadModuleinformix_module
/d3/apache2/wwwdbdev/ifmx-bin/drvapch2.so
# Load the necessary PHP modules
LoadModule php5_modulemodules/libphp5.so
I'm not able to have php and webdatablade connections to informix
work together ...
Case 1:
---
If I load the informix module first in the httpd.conf file the php
ifx functions doesn't work and I get the following incomplete error
message :
*Warning*: ifx_connect() [function.ifx-connect
https://furio.unil.ch/php-dhz/function.ifx-connect]: E [SQLSTATE=
in */d3/apache2/wwwdbdev/php-dhz/testifmx.php* on line *3*

*Warning*: printf() [function.printf
https://furio.unil.ch/php-dhz/function.printf]: Too few arguments
in */d3/apache2/wwwdbdev/php-dhz/testifmx.php* on line *7*
The php script is below :
?php
$ConnId = ifx_connect ([EMAIL PROTECTED],xx,xx);
$ResId = ifx_query (SELECT * FROM dhtable, $ConnId);
if (! $ResId) {
printf(Can't select names : %s\nbr /%sbr /\n, ifx_error());
ifx_errormsg();
die;
}
ifx_htmltbl_result($ResId, border=\1\);
ifx_free_result($ResId);
ifx_close($ConnId);
?
On the other hand the webdatablade connection works normally ...
Case 2:
---
If I load the php module before the informix module in the httpd.conf
file, the php ifx_connect function works correctly, but now the
wedatablade connection fails (never answer)
I need the two ways to connect to the database, since we actually
still use both I've asked IBM for a solution, but they propose
me to submit this problem to PHP people since IBM didn't develop the
ifx functions to connect to the informix database via PHP.
Any help would be appreciated !
Best regards
Daniel

Re: [PHP] input validation?
Hmm.. I didn't see anyone ask before or after the user clicks SUBMIT? If it's before, then you should use javascript to check the form element prior to submitting (you can check realtime with the onkeydown, onkeyup events... check after a user moves off of the form element with onchange or even onfocus/onblur... or when the user clicks 'submit' with the onsubmit event). Whenever you check it... it's going to be something like forms[formnameornumber].formelementname.length or something like that in JS. If it's after the user submits the form, then yeah, what everyone else said.. strlen($data) (where $data contains the information submitted). -TG = = = Original message = = = Hello, I need to check that user input text is less than 300 characters long.

[PHP] Help for ISPs rolling out PHP
I'm working with a medium sized ISP to start rolling out PHP and MySQL services to customers. I've been looking around for best practices or help with such a roll out but not found anything. I'm confident I can roll out the services but with so many other ISPs currently running PHP it seems like I could save my self a lot of mistakes and grief if I could learn from admins that have already done it. Is anyone aware of a resource specifically about rolling out PHP to a large number of users in an ISP setting? Specifically dealing with security issues like a user doing an unlink(../otheruser/index.html); ? Any pointers and experience are appreciated. Thank You. technikolor

Re: [PHP] question about compositing objects
Hi, Jonathan!
On Thu, 2006-01-12 at 14:13 -0800, jonathan wrote:
I have a class which creates another class within it such as:

Depending on what you're trying to accomplish, it looks like you're
running into a scope issue. According to the code sample you provided,
the $map object is local to the Loc::outputInfo() method. So, inside
this method, you can access the $map object like
$map-publicMapFunction() provided your Map class defines the
publicMapFunction() method.
If you want to access the $map object outside the outputInfo() method
defined in the Loc class, then you'll need to return the $map object or
provide some other interface to it within the Loc class.
One way to do this would be something like this in the class definition:
class Loc{
public function outputInfo()
{
$map = new Map();
$map-setKey();
return $map;
}
}
Next, in your main page you might do this:
$loc = new Loc();
$myMap = $loc-outputInfo();
Now, if you have the method publicMapFunction() defined in your Map
class, you should be able to access it like this:
$myMap-publicMapFunction();
I'm not sure the my example above is the best way to go about this...but
without knowing exactly what it is you're trying to accomplish I think
it at least should point you in the right direction.
You'll also need to be aware of the difference between how PHP4 and PHP5
handle objects to know whether you're operating on a copy of an object
or a reference to the actual object itself.
Hope that helps!

Re: [PHP] question about compositing objects
$map is not a member variable of the Loc class in your code...
Instead do this:
class Loc {
// Defines a member variable
var $map;
// Constructor
function Loc() {
$this-map = new Map(); // Create map object and save to Loc object
$this-map-setKey();
}
}
$loc = new Loc();
$loc-map-publicMapFunction();
