Re: [PHP] session_start/session_write_close creates multiple sessioncookieheaders. How to fix this.
Chris wrote: Mathijs wrote: Chris wrote: Mathijs wrote: Hello again, I Use session_write_close() so the page loads quicker because i use session on multiple place. This because session has protection for race conditions. Now it works very well and i don't have any problems at all. I only see that there are multiple session cookie headers set. I Personally think that one is enough :P. How can i make it so that it just sets just one and not set this header every time i call session_start or session_write_close. Because i don't know when the cookie is set. I think this will be an either/or situation. Either it only sends one session cookie header and you don't use session_write_close all over the place.. or, it sends multiple cookies and you do use session_write_close all over the place. The internals of php would set this behaviour, not something you can change without changing the C code. Hmmm... I find it kinda strange that it sets the same uniqueId with the same session name more then once. It would be logical to just have one.. And overwrite the previous session cookie. Any other thing would be an programmers fault in my opinion. Because you can't have more then one session id per session cookie name. Also, the browser won't send all the cookies back. This is just useless overhead. But it seems that i have to live with it (for now). I think ill report this as an bug to PHP. Doubt you'll get very far. I could open 10 tabs in firefox and I'll have the same session id in each one, but they'll all be on different pages doing different things. Even in IE, if I open a new page I'll get the same session id in both browser windows. That is a good thing. But the problem is that there are like 5 or 6 headers for one request. --- avast!

[PHP] search string
Hi all ,
I am using php4.3.2,MYSQL and RedHat
I have a sql text as shown below:
SELECT
DISTINCT(tbl_chassis.serial_no),tbl_chassis.host_name,tbl_chassis.chasis_model,tbl_chassis.country,tbl_chassis.city,tbl_chassis.building,
tbl_chassis.other,tbl_chassis.status,tbl_chassis.chasis_eos,tbl_chassis.chasis_eol,tbl_chassis.chasis_user_field_1,tbl_chassis.chasis_user_field_2,tbl_chassis.chasis_user_field_3
from tbl_chassis tbl_chassis,tbl_card tbl_card
WHERE tbl_chassis.serial_no = tbl_card.serial_no
AND tbl_chassis.chasis_model LIKE '%WS-C5500%'
AND lower(country) = lower(trim('Malaysia'))
ORDER BY country,city,building,other
I need to extract the tbl_chassis.chasis_model LIKE '%WS-C5500%' and
lower(country) = lower(trim('Malaysia')) and join them to new string.
Anyone have any suggestion how to do this?
Thanks

[PHP] Difference between 2 time entries
Morning all,
I am looking to get the differnce in hours / minutes between 2 values.
Currently I have 2 time entries being retruned from mysql, one which is a
start time and
the other which is a finish time.
So
$start = '13:12:17';
$finish = '23:12:17';
How would one get the differnce between these 2 times??
I have looked at using the following but am not to sure
function timeDiff($firstTime,$lastTime)
{
// convert to unix timestamps
$firstTime=strtotime($firstTime);
$lastTime=strtotime($lastTime);
// perform subtraction to get the difference (in seconds) between times
$timeDiff=$lastTime-$firstTime;
// return the difference
return $timeDiff;
}
//Usage :
echo timeDiff($start,$finish);
Thanks
Chris

IMHO, the best is to generate a timestamp using mktime for each date.
you can the calculate the difference of timestamps and convert it back
using date.
$tm_start = mktime(substr($start,0,2),substr($start,3,2),
substr($start,5,2));
$tm_finish = mktime(substr($finish,0,2),substr($finish,3,2),
substr($finish,5,2));
$tm_diff = $tm_finish -tm_start;
print date(H:i,$tm_diff);
I don't know if date accepts negative timestamps, so be sure $finish is
later than $start
(you can also put the day in case $finish = 00:00:12 and $start
=15:00:00).
hope this'll help

Re: [PHP] Basic PHP knowledge test
To refine that a bit, you may want to give them some code that has been intentionally broken (simple things for the entry level position, such as missing semicolons or curly braces etc) and watch to see how they go about discovering the parse errors. To me, it would be better to hire someone that can solve problems quickly, not someone who can simply tell you what a piece of code is doing. Just a thought though - good luck! -Joe On Jul 20, 2006, at 7:20 AM, Finner, Doug wrote: My advice, give the candidates problems and see how they solve them.

If you can't answer these questions how are you going to know if someone is giving you the right answers? There are tons of basic to advance books on the commercial market about php. I've gone the distance and shelled out literally 1,000 of dollars buying books and hours learning the stuff. If you want answers to your questions spend a little time so you will know if someone has passed a test or not. I've spent the past 8+ years 'going the distance' in PHP (quite a bit longer when you count in things like Perl, PASCAL, COBOL, etc), and shelled out about $25 on one PHP book. The web is a far better, cheaper, and more up-to-date learning source.

Plenty of it will be my code, but prior to me starting here three years ago, they used to just get people on a contract basis, and there's some pretty messed up code. They even contracted a job out to a couple of Russian programmers; code's pretty clean, but all the comments are in Russian. ;) I like the idea of giving them a piece of our existing code and getting them to do something with it...I'll just have to get HR to accept my word on how they did on it (they really want a question and answer sheet that they can 'grade').

|Found this on the PHP web site,
you can add the conversions as the first lines in the functions.
function callDuration($dateTimeBegin,$dateTimeEnd) {
$dif=$dateTimeEnd - $dateTimeBegin;
$hours = floor($dif / 3600);
$temp_remainder = $dif - ($hours * 3600);
$minutes = floor($temp_remainder / 60);
$temp_remainder = $temp_remainder - ($minutes * 60);
$seconds = $temp_remainder;

$min_lead=':';
if($minutes =9)
$min_lead .= '0';

[PHP] Session breaks when form data submitted
We have a site which requires users log in. Once they do so a session is created (session_start), some data is saved as session data, particularly data which identifies the user, their privileges, etc. If the session ends, breaks, etc. The user must log in again. There are also forms on the site. When a user submits a form, data, both posted and session, is saved to a MySQL database. If a session breaks when a user submits data via the form, the result is that the user must log in again, the data is lost and the user unhappy. This happens rarely - but when it does, it can upset the user who has put effort into completing the form. Is there a simple yet secure way of preventing this problem - for example passing the session id with the form and resurrecting the session if it has broken?

This happens rarely - but when it does, it can upset the user who has put effort into completing the form. Is there a simple yet secure way of preventing this problem - for example passing the session id with the form and resurrecting the session if it has broken? Thanks, Jeff To my knowledge, this particular behavior is by design. After the time limit for a session has been reached, then the garbage collection will usually clean it up. The only way to not break a session is to never clean up the session files, or set the timeout to a day or so. I wouldn't suggest sending the PHPSESSID via a form. That leads to people being able to hijack sessions from file='php.ini' ; After this number of seconds, stored data will be seen as 'garbage' and ; cleaned up by the garbage collection process. session.gc_maxlifetime = 1440 /from HTH -- Ray Hauge Programmer/Systems Administrator American Student Loan Services www.americanstudentloan.com 1.800.575.1099 -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] Setting cookie on one domain for an other domain
Best group member, When a user does a specific action on domain1.com I want a cookie to be set so that domain1.com and domain2.com can reach it. Ok, after reading the manual for setcookie() I tried this: setcookie(thevariable, thevalue, time()+60*60*24*30, /, .domain1.com); setcookie(thevariable, thevalue, time()+60*60*24*30, /, .domain2.com); However, I can not detect the cookie at domain2.com. A solution would be to just make a redirect to the other domain where the cookie is set and then return. Question is: Can I not set a cookie at domain1.com to work at domain2.com?

Morning all,
I am looking to get the differnce in hours / minutes between 2 values.
Currently I have 2 time entries being retruned from mysql, one which is a
start time and
the other which is a finish time.
So
$start = '13:12:17';
$finish = '23:12:17';
How would one get the differnce between these 2 times??
I have looked at using the following but am not to sure
function timeDiff($firstTime,$lastTime)
{
// convert to unix timestamps
$firstTime=strtotime($firstTime);
$lastTime=strtotime($lastTime);
// perform subtraction to get the difference (in seconds) between times
$timeDiff=$lastTime-$firstTime;
// return the difference
return $timeDiff;
}
//Usage :
echo timeDiff($start,$finish);
Chris:
You're about there, you have the seconds, just add this:
$hours = floor($timeDiff/3600);
$timeDiff = $timeDiff - ($hours * 3600);
$minutes = floor($timeDiff/60);
$timeDiff = $timeDiff - ($minutes * 60);
$seconds = $timeDiff;
echo($hours);
echo(br/);
echo($minutes);
echo(br/);
echo($seconds);
I'm surprised that php doesn't have a function to do this -- but maybe I didn't
RTFM enough.

Re: [PHP] Setting cookie on one domain for an other domain
AFAIK, this could be a security risk, so even if PHP would allow it (which it might - I don't know), there is a good chance most browsers would not. I certainly wouldn't count on being able to do so. You could however use something like AJAX to do an asynchronous request to domain2, which would be allowed to set the domain2 cookie by virtue of actually being domain2. jon Peter Lauri wrote: Best group member, When a user does a specific action on domain1.com I want a cookie to be set so that domain1.com and domain2.com can reach it.

[PHP] Enterprise grade CMS+Ecomm
Hello, So we're getting ready to redo our website once again to integrate some modern changes and a shift in branding. I'm currently looking at all my options as far as software goes. The question I have to answer is Do I write everything by myself from scratch and spend 3-6 months doing it? Or do I spend that same amount of money on a prebuilt system and spend 1 month integrating our new branding? The answer doesn't even have to be specifically one way or the other. It could be a mixture of the two. Perhaps I use something like Drupal (which I have no experience with) for the CMS part and write my own ecommerce application. Or perhaps I write my own basic CMS and purchase an ecommerce application? I've seen X-Cart and at first glance it doesn't look terrible so far. At least the design templates look to be pretty flexible. I'm definitely not interested in osCommerce or derivatives thereof. Why? Because I've worked with osC in the past and I dislike it very much. As for a CMS, I just watched a video on Drupal 4.7 and it looks quite interesting. Opinions? I'm also currently looking at www.opensourcecms.com and have been to the Joomla, XOOPS, Xaraya, and Mambo websites also.

RE: [PHP] Basic PHP knowledge test
Here's one companies quiz that they gave: With each question, please keep the code short and simple. Make notes on possible caveats and fixes rather than adding a lot of error-checking to your code. 1. Write a PHP script to remove duplicate lines from a file. Do not worry about efficiency. Ex. input: Tree Donut Fish Food Tree Tree Doctor Fish Food Ex. output: Tree Donut Fish Food Doctor 2. Write a PHP script that retrieves the Word of the Day from http://dictionary.com/. 3. Write a PHP web page script which redirects visitors to google.com if their IP address is not of the form 10.x.x.x nor 192.168.x.x. Users who do not get redirected should be shown a top secret message. 4. Write a PHP script which inserts the contents of a TAB-delimited text file into a MySQL table. You must create the table. The columns are named in the file. Here is the data format with some example data: idTABnameTABageTABemailTABactive 1TABBerthaTAB93TAB[EMAIL PROTECTED]TAB1 2TABSammyTAB40TAB[EMAIL PROTECTED]TAB1 3TABErinTAB15TAB[EMAIL PROTECTED]TAB0 4TABRupertTAB29TAB[EMAIL PROTECTED]TAB1 5. Write a PHP function to determine if two strings are close enough, such as to find misspelt words. o Extra letters are OK. close_enough( 'apartment', 'appartmeant' ); returns true o Missing letters are OK. close_enough( 'apartment', 'aprmnt' ); returns true o Substitutions are OK. close_enough( 'apartment', 'apardmint' ); returns true o Only allow up to 1 error per 3 letters in the correct word, rounding up. For example, a 10-letter word can have up to 4 errors. They can be anywhere in the word. -Original Message- From: John Nichel [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 20, 2006 5:31 AM To: PHP Mailing Lists Subject: Re: [PHP] Basic PHP knowledge test Finner, Doug wrote: My advice, give the candidates problems and see how they solve them.

(Paypal, etc.) Possible exception: If you are working for a huge corporation with deep pockets and high dollar lawyers, for when the credit card info gets compromised. If you must handle credit card info, never ever store it anywhere. JM -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

RE: [PHP] Enterprise grade CMS+Ecomm
-Original Message- The question I have to answer is Do I write everything by myself from scratch and spend 3-6 months doing it? Or do I spend that same amount of money on a prebuilt system and spend 1 month integrating our new branding? The answer to this question depends heavily on your needs. What kind of functionality do you need to get out of your website? If you are looking for a website that is similar to others in function, than I would definitely suggest looking at an existing CMS package. Even if you will need some custom functionality, it may be worth the time and effort to create your own module for an existing system. But again, that depends on the complexity of the system you need. The answer doesn't even have to be specifically one way or the other. It could be a mixture of the two. Perhaps I use something like Drupal (which I have no experience with) for the CMS part and write my own ecommerce application. Or perhaps I write my own basic CMS and purchase an ecommerce application? I would suggest that you take a look at the different CMS options as well as the community released modules / plugins. You may well find a CMS that has a module that will meet your needs, or be close enough that you could take the code and customize it to what you are looking for. As for a CMS, I just watched a video on Drupal 4.7 and it looks quite interesting. Opinions? I'm currently migrating from a Mambo site to Drupal. My main reason for doing so is the multi-site functionality. We have a few different websites that we maintain for different business goals, but we want them all to authenticate against the same database due to the fact that some of our users will need to use all of the sites. Using drupal it is very simple to setup several sites on one codebase, and telling them to all authenticate against the same database table is very easy. The other nice thing is that you can setup drupal to share the sessions table as well, so logging into one site logs you into all of the sites at once. Having said that, Drupal is a little more difficult to understand than some of the other CMS systems. At least it was for me, but that probably reflects more on me than on Drupal. ;) For a single site setup I would probably stick with Joomla, but that's just a preference. The bottom line is that there are lots of great CMS options, and the best way to choose one is to know exactly what you want from a CMS and compare them with that in mind.

That's a good point, but if your code is well separated from your content, then the opening PHP tag merely gives your code necessary context. Closing it is more adverse than no closing it since you may accidentally leave whitespace as the OP was finding. Thus omission of the closing tag leads to cleaner code and easier maintenance since you don't need to track down whitespace error (nor do you need to enable ob_start() to solve said issue).
