Do feel free to hit delete now if you're a purist.

I have an ongoing daily music playlist of 30 songs:
http://uncommonground.com/radio_hifi.m3u
http://uncommonground.com/radio_lofi.m3u
hifi and lofi, obviously

[aside]
Playlists may differ slightly at the request of the artists to [not]

I'm trying to shoe-horn that into an Apple Podcast.
  


You hit the nail on the head. What you have is not a podcast as far as 
Apple and most of the industry defines it, so shoe-horning is right.


If you really want to release it in a podcast-type format, I think your 
best bet is to roll them up into a single daily MP3. Yes you'll lose the 
individual tags, but you can associate each feed entry with a webpage 
(commonly called the shownotes) where you can provide the full ID3 tags 
for each individual source file and you'll have control over the order.


-Stut


First, let me say up-front, that technologically-speaking, this is
turning out to be not a really good fit, even though I thought it
would be a no-brainer...

Apple podcasts are designed for longer single-theme MP3s, and, as some
of my dilemnas below will show, for far less content than I'm
producing.

However, from a business / political perspective, I'm (still) wanting
to do this, mainly because I've had too many people tell me I should
do this.

So no matter how wrong they all are, there is a time to cave in to
popular opinion :-) :-) :-)

Apple podcasts allow up to 100 items, and are sequenced by DATE only,
afaict, in iTunes.

Apple podcasts only allow a tiny fraction of mime-types in their
podcast, and an m3u (mp3 playlist) is not one of them.

I could smush all 30 MP3s for a day into one big MP3, but we're
talking a HUGE MP3, and I'd lose the ID3 tag info I've got for each
individual MP3, which I'm loathe to do.

I could, in theory, switch to Apple's AAC format to get playlist-like
stop-points or somesuch, but A) it's proprietary, and B) I've got
65,000+ MP3s for ~400 GIG, and duplicated on a second server, all out
of my pocket, so converting is not attractive.

So, effectively, I'm limited to 3.333 days' worth of programming:
30 episodes per day, 100 episode limit.

And I can't even sequence the playlist of 30 episodes in one day so
that iTunes will play them in order.  They all were selected the same
day, and iTunes re-orders them willy-nilly. :-(

[aside]
I have to see if the resolution is better than day, but worse than
seconds, as maybe changing the minute or hour on each song/episode
will maintain order.  Haven't tested yet.
[/aside]

What's worse, is that there doesn't seem to be any easy way in the
100-episode limit to indicate the wealth of content available far
beyond the 100 songs.

It's a long shot, but I'm hoping somebody here has some insight that
might engender some kind of attractive solution that I'm missing.

Thanks for any thoughts on this, and I sure appreciate you taking the
time to read this!

[PHP] is_writable() not working on PHP 5.1.6


Hi,

I am running Fedora Core 6 with PHP 5.1.6

This little snippet will output the file is not writable:



if (file_exists($file)) {
if(!is_writeable($menu_filename)){
echo the file is not writable;
}
} else echo The file does not exist;



I have set the permissions to 777 for the file and also put group and  
user to apaches user. So that is not an issue.


I have seen some bug reports on this, but haven't figured out how to solve it.

Is this a PHP 5.1.6 related bug? I haven't seen any fix or similar.

Best regards,
Peter Lauri

RE: [PHP] is_writable() not working on PHP 5.1.6

Sorry, it should be $file for both as in the more complex code. So the  
below code is the code that is generating the file is not writable.


if (file_exists($file)) {
if(!is_writeable($file)){
echo the file is not writable;
}
 } else echo The file does not exist;

This bug http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=30931 is similar, and would  
have been resolved already in v5.1

Thanks for your answer,

It was a bit late because we already disabled selinux just to try, and

same problem.


On a live webserver, what security issues would disableing the selinux  
cause? Any?

Hello,

I have made a second build of 5.2.1RC2 for Windows with no thread safety 
enabled. This will only work for non threaded SAPIs such as CGI/FastCGI 
and CLI. The reason for this is that managing per thread state takes 
some CPU time from the main task of running PHP scripts making non 
thread safe PHP significantly faster. My initial benchmarks show 20-30% 
performance increase.


This, together with the new fastcgi implementation for IIS from 
Microsoft should bring PHP performance on Windows to a new level.

they are then a$$holes - to put it not so politely, session.auto_start=On is
a crazy setting to have as default. find a different webhoster if you can.

you might try using a .htaccess to override the default php.ini setting
(assuming this is an apache webserver) put an .htaccess file in the webroot
and add this to it:

php_value   session.auto_start  Off

that might not work because they are even so stupid as to block changing of this
setting.

if it doesn't work you can try one more thing, namely an 'auto_prepend_file',
again you define this in an .htaccess in the root of your site.

php_value   auto_prepend_file   /path/to/your/auto_prepend_file.php

then you add the relevant include/require lines (lines that load the files that
contain the class definitions of the classes that you use/store in your 
sessions)
to the php file pointed to by auto_prepend_file. the auto_prepend_file file is 
run
before anything else is done - including *HOPEFULLY* the sessiohn being 
automatically
started - I have not tested this and if the session is started before the
auto prepend file is loaded then you are shit out of luck with this option.

hope that works for you.

Subject: [PHP] FastCGI optmized Windows build of 5.2.1RC2
 
Hello,


I have made a second build of 5.2.1RC2 for Windows with no thread 
safety enabled. This will only work for non threaded SAPIs such as 
CGI/FastCGI and CLI. The reason for this is that managing per thread 
state takes some CPU time from the main task of running PHP scripts 
making non thread safe PHP significantly faster. My initial 
benchmarks show 20-30% performance increase.


This, together with the new fastcgi implementation for IIS from 
Microsoft should bring PHP performance on Windows to a new level.

2007-01-05 Thread Delta Storm


Hi,

I'm a beginner and i'm still learning PHP and I got a problem:

tried test_folder/test1.txt and text1.txt



$fh = fopen($file, r) or die(Could not open file!);


$data = fread($fh, filesize($file)) or die (Could not read

The file exist, I'm using apache server on my PC for practicing and the

[PHP] What's this image tag for?

2007-01-05 Thread Skip Evans


Hey all,

I'm building a site for a client that is using 
this system called Linkshare to link to web sites 
for stores and it's one of those deals where they 
provide the link code so my client gets credit for 
sending the person to the store's site. Common 
enough, but there is one thing about their code 
I'm a bit confused about.


Here is one of their links you put in your code to 
link to a store:


a 
href=http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=5sJlsTOpnzEofferid=115126.1505type=4subid=0;IMG 
alt=Sharper Image border=0 
src=http://www.sharperimagespecials.com/banners/Promos/11_Nov06/fshproplus_1106_125x125.gif;/aIMG 
border=0 width=1 height=1 
src=http://ad.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/show?id=5sJlsTOpnzEbids=115126.1505type=4subid=0;


You'll notice they provide an image for you to 
display embedded in the a href=... /a tags, 
simple enough, but I can't figure out what that 
second IMG tag is for with the little 1 x 1 image. 
Since it's outside the actual link, I don't really 
see what it accomplishes.


Anyone with experience with these things, or just 
any idea why it's there would sure help clear the 
fog from my brain on this one.


Much thanks!

It's simply a counter. Calls an image off a remote server which  
increments a counter on that remote server. Allows whoever to track  
how frequently the code block is shown.

Re: [PHP] What's this image tag for?

2007-01-05 Thread Skip Evans

I thought it would be something like that. So 
here's another question I'd appreciate thoughts on:


If I have ten of these links on a page, linking to 
ten different stores, should I include one of 
these IMG links on each link, just as they say to 
cut and paste? Or should there only be one per 
page so I don't hit the counter ten times, once 
for each image.


I have examined the ten different IMG URLs for the 
ones I have pasted onto a page and they are all 
the same, so they are NOT unique per store image. 
But rather seem to relate to my client's account 
itself.


Any thoughts, insights would be greatly appreciated.

[PHP] Some advice / points / help

2007-01-05 Thread Steven Macintyre

Hi guys,

Some intelligent minds needed again ... I have the following schematic to
work to ... 

http//steven.macintyre.name/arb/showlineups.jpg

I need to fill that with data from a mysql table ... 

The format of the table is as follows;

CREATE TABLE `kayasite_schedule` (
  `id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
  `tid` int(6) NOT NULL,
  `showname` mediumtext NOT NULL,
  `day` varchar(10) NOT NULL,
  `blurb` longtext NOT NULL,
  `show_start` time NOT NULL default '00:00:00',
  `show_end` time NOT NULL default '00:00:00',
  `who` varchar(25) NOT NULL default '',
  `uid` int(6) NOT NULL,
  `pic` varchar(60) NOT NULL default '',
  UNIQUE KEY `id` (`id`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM

Now, as you can see the time slot are the items show_start, show_end
(which I can do) the names are from the table (who) - can anyone start me
off on the correct route to get this done.

The layout does not have to be exactly like that - but - the days across top
have to - so if there are gaps in time slots etc we can handle that


This is way beyond my level of knowledge and have NO idea where to start.

As always - your assistance appreciated!!

in very broad terms (with out taking any account of error checking):

0. connect to mysql database

http://php.net/mysql
http://php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-connect.php

1. define an sql query  

e.g. $sql = SELECT * kayasite_schedule; // lame example query

2. perform the query

http://php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-query.php

3. loop the result to output tabular data

http://php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-fetch-assoc.php
http://php.net/foreach
http://php.net/echo

 
 As always - your assistance appreciated!!

the manual is your best friend, if you don't understand something in the manual
(i.e. the links above) come back and ask ... don't forget to tell us where/what 
you don't
understand :-)

Correction: The problem will more likely be the lack of the colon after

Try using the complete path in $file... you can get the complete path by
using
$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']

Also be sure that path given in $file variable is relatvie to location

Is there a reason why you're trying to access it through a URL? If not, 
please don't.


The file path needs to be relative to the current file. So if your PHP 
file is in the root, test_folder/test1.txt should work. If your PHP 
file is in a folder named code in the root, ../test_folder/text1.txt 
should work.


Also, depending on your PHP version you're probably better off using 
file_get_contents instead of fopen/fread/fclose.

[PHP] Arrays help

2007-01-05 Thread William Stokes

Hello,

I'm making a menu script that uses mysql, php and javascript to build a on 
mouse over dropdown menu to a page. I ran into some problems and would need 
help to get this working. (This is just the top level of the menusystem)

1. Get the toplevel links from DB, create array and put values there.

$sql =SELECT * FROM x_menu WHERE menulevel = '1' ORDER BY 'id' ASC;
$result=mysql_query($sql);
$num = mysql_num_rows($result);
$cur = 1;
while ($num = $cur) {
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
$id = $row[id];
$menulevel = $row[menulevel];
$linktext = $row[linktext];
$linkurl = $row[linkurl];
$toplevel =array($id, $menulevel, $linktext, $linkurl);
$cur ++;
}

The first problem comes here. How can I create a different array at every 
iteration of the loop? Or how this should be done if the toplevel objects 
are echoed with foreach to the browser like this:

$TopLevelCounter = 1;
foreach ($toplevel as $value){
print menuSyS.addItem('labelItem', '$toplevel[2]', $TopLevelCounter, 
$width, '$colour1', '#aa', '$colour2');\n;
$TopLevelCounter ++;
}

Now, because I just fill the same array again and again in the DB query all 
top level items finally contain the same text. So my question is how to 
query the DB and create the arrays so that it would be easy to refer to the 
data in the arrays when printing to screen. Do I have to make 
multidimensional arrays? If so how to implement them here and how they 
should be referred to when printing to browser?

Thanks
-Will

I'm not nitpicking. If the webserver process (assuming mod_php) runs in
a different directory, fopen(relative/to/documentroot/path.txt) won't
help him at all, and as far as I can tell, it's quite common for web
servers to run with pretty much any cwd, often / or /var/empty (these
are local filesystem paths).

please don't.


The file path needs to be relative to the current file. So if your PHP 
file is in the root, test_folder/test1.txt should work. If your PHP 
file is in a folder named code in the root, ../test_folder/text1.txt 
should work.


Arent' you confusing this with something else? fopen() is affected
by the current working directory of the process calling it. What kind of
root are you talking about? The filesystem root, /?
  
The OP referred to the servers root folder. Now stop nit-picking and 
go back to quoting standards.



I'm not nitpicking. If the webserver process (assuming mod_php) runs in
a different directory, fopen(relative/to/documentroot/path.txt) won't
help him at all, and as far as I can tell, it's quite common for web
servers to run with pretty much any cwd, often / or /var/empty (these
are local filesystem paths).


Ok, let me clarify...

Using mod_php with Apache will make the current directory the directory 
that contains the script being requested. I am assuming that the OP is 
trying to access the file from the script that is being requested and 
not an included file in a different directory - I should have been 
clearer on that.


I never said anything about being relative to the document root - you 
pulled that out of somewhere yourself.


Happy now?

Re: [PHP] Port Block

2007-01-05 Thread Craige Leeder


You could do a hackish work around and write a small server program
that is hosted off your computer, maybe on a friend's host/server.
Then, you could have your application on your local machine open some
other port to connect to the off-site server, and have it send the
email data to that server, and have the off site server send the
emails.

It's a mean, hackish work around, but if your host wont unblock port
25, you don't have many options short of finding a new ISP.

[PHP] How to suppress error messages when using 'new mysqli(...)'

2007-01-05 Thread Richard Morris


Hi,

I am having this problem that I hope can be worked around.  I make a 
connection to our MySQL database using the object version of mysqli.  If 
access is denied because of an incorrect username or password, mysqli 
displays an error.  Is there any way to suppress the error message?


Here is the code I am using as a test case:

?php
  $db = null;

  $db = new mysqli('localhost', 'user', 'badpass', 'test');

  if (mysqli_connect_errno()) {
echo Database connection error.\n\n;
exit();
  }

  echo Connection successful.\n\n;
?

This is the output I get:

PHP Warning:  mysqli::mysqli(): (28000/1045): Access denied for user 
'user'@'localhost' (using password: YES) in /home/richard/dbtest.php on 
line 4


Warning: mysqli::mysqli(): (28000/1045): Access denied for user 
'user'@'localhost' (using password: YES) in /home/richard/dbtest.php on 
line 4

An error occurred while trying to connect to the database.

I was expecting this:

An error occurred while trying to connect to the database.

Is there a way to prevent the error messages from being display so that 
the error can be handled in a nicer manner?


Thank you.

You probably have a owner and/or permissions problem. Try setting the dir to 
777.

Read fopen() in the php manual.  There are dozens of user notes on the subject.

Re: [PHP] Re: Still problem with file reading

2007-01-05 Thread David Giragosian



Why don't you start by running file_exists() on another file in the same
directory:



if (file_exists(./findMe.php))
echo It's here;

then, directory by directory, move towards where you want the real file to
be read. If a move fails, check permissions as already suggested ( and
capitalization, also, if on a *nix system ). Once you can accomplish this,
fopen() should work just fine.

[PHP] Question regarding include() and symlinks to directories

2007-01-05 Thread spam

Hi
let's say we have the follwing directory structure:
directory test, with to subdirectories: a and b; both have ssi
subdirectory; a has also a subdirectory c with an index.php file in it
and in b we habe a symbolic link to a/c.

On the shell it looks like this:
,
| /htdocs/testls -gG *
| a:
| total 8
| drwxr-xr-x  2 4096 Jan  4 20:55 c
| drwxr-xr-x  2 4096 Jan  4 20:51 ssi
| 
| b:
| total 4
| lrwxrwxrwx  16 Jan  4 20:53 c - ../a/c
| drwxr-xr-x  2 4096 Jan  4 20:53 ssi
| ~/htdocs/testcat a/ssi/a.inc
| In directory a
| 
| ~/htdocs/testcat b/ssi/a.inc
| In directory b
`

As you see whe have an a.inc in each ssi. If we call now the index.php
which does nothing more than to:
  include('../ssi/a.inc')
what would you expect to read if you called b/c/index.php? I expected to
read 'In directory b' but I read 'In directory a'.

,
| ~/htdocs/test(cd a/c  php -f index.php )
| In directory a
| 
| 
| ~/htdocs/test(cd b/c  php -f index.php )
| In directory a
`

In my opinion include() should respect symlinks to directories and not
dereference them before finding the file to include. Or am I wrong here?
The PHP version is 5.1.6 (will soon be updated).

Re: [PHP] Arrays help

On Fri, 2007-01-05 at 18:48 +0200, William Stokes wrote:
 Hello,
 
 I'm making a menu script that uses mysql, php and javascript to build a on 
 mouse over dropdown menu to a page. I ran into some problems and would need 
 help to get this working. (This is just the top level of the menusystem)
 
 1. Get the toplevel links from DB, create array and put values there.
 
 $sql =SELECT * FROM x_menu WHERE menulevel = '1' ORDER BY 'id' ASC;

Yeesh... should be using parent ID references. How does a sub-menu item
know to which menu item it belongs? It has a parent right? What
determines a root menu entry? No parent (or root node parent)... What
is this wierd menulevel field?

 $result=mysql_query($sql);
 $num = mysql_num_rows($result);
 $cur = 1;
 while ($num = $cur) {
 $row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
 $id = $row[id];
 $menulevel = $row[menulevel];
 $linktext = $row[linktext];
 $linkurl = $row[linkurl];
 $toplevel =array($id, $menulevel, $linktext, $linkurl);
 $cur ++;
 }
 
 The first problem comes here. How can I create a different array at every 
 iteration of the loop? Or how this should be done if the toplevel objects 
 are echoed with foreach to the browser like this:

Just create the array at each iteration of the loop...

$foo = array( /* put some data in it */ )

 
 $TopLevelCounter = 1;
 foreach ($toplevel as $value){
 print menuSyS.addItem('labelItem', '$toplevel[2]', $TopLevelCounter, 
 $width, '$colour1', '#aa', '$colour2');\n;
 $TopLevelCounter ++;
 }
 
 Now, because I just fill the same array again and again in the DB query all 
 top level items finally contain the same text. So my question is how to 
 query the DB and create the arrays so that it would be easy to refer to the 
 data in the arrays when printing to screen. Do I have to make 
 multidimensional arrays?

Yes.

  If so how to implement them here and how they 
 should be referred to when printing to browser?

Use a foreach loop for the menu array. When you come across a menu item
with children, use another foreach loop. Alternatively you can use
recursion.

Cheers,
Rob.

I have tested using your exact description and get the result, you can
be fairly certain this is not something specific to your server/machine.

I would tend to agree with your premise - but the php devs may have
decided against this behaviour on purpose.

although I must also say it's a rather convoluted setup, then again you may
have a very good/neat reason for wanting to setup a directory akin to
your example.

because I was curious I tried the following, namely creating a subdir 'd'
in each of dirs 'a' and 'b' and creating the index.php in 'a/d/' a then 
symlinking
'a/d/index.php' to 'b/d/index.php' and then running the same tests using the 'd'
subdirs  and guess what the correct [according to your expectation/opinion]
'ssi/a/inc' file was included

I would suggest maybe asking the [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
as to whether they consider this a bug - and then file a bug report
if asked.

I might suggest also adding the following 2 lines to your test
index.php - which might provide a little more insight:

echo the current working directory is ,getcwd(),\n;
echo I am the index file, my name is ,__FILE__,\n;

additionally I changed the contents of your 'a.inc' files to the following:

?php echo I'm an included file, my name is ,__FILE__,\n;

---
my conclusion:
no real answers, one possible way to workaround the problem,
possibly requires a little php-dev input.


 The PHP version is 5.1.6 (will soon be updated).

PHP needs to dereference symlinks so it knows exactly where it is in
case of security violations. This prevents symlinking into paths for
which you don't have access... especially important on shared hosts.

 If you need more info, I'll be happy to answer any question.

Two suggestions:
1. Show us your exact code.  Either copy/paste it into email, or
provide a URL to the source code by copying (or better yet symlinking)
to a .phps file (the 's' is not a typo)

2. Sometimes PHP will say the file is not there when what it REALLY
means is I do not have permission to read that file or directory
If PHP can't read the directory the file lives in, it can't even SEE
the file to find out if it's there or not.

Unfortunately, the permissions model in Windows changes with every
release, so what this boils down to is poking around in endless
windows in Properties on all the directories and files until you
make things work.

To suppress a single error message in a single line you can use the @
operator in PHP:

@this_code_errors_but_youll_never_see_the_error(...);

To catch errors in a more general manner:
http://php.net/set_error_handler

Also, since mysqli is new-fangled, it's probably using that fancy
try/catch/throw stuff, so you could PROBABLY wrap it in a try/catch
block and that will somehow magically suppress the error message,
maybe...  I really don't know (or want to know) much about this, but
you're welcome to research it and find out.

so, to point to C:\Program Files\XAMPP\xampp\htdocs\test_folder\test1.txt from

 exist I didn't spelled it wrong I have checked a hundred times but
 always the same answer!

 PLEASE HELP, I'm learning PHP by a book and I have a whole section
 about
 file reading,writing... And I dont want to skip any part of the book!
 :)

 If you need more info, I'll be happy to answer any question.

Two suggestions:
1. Show us your exact code.  Either copy/paste it into email, or
provide a URL to the source code by copying (or better yet symlinking)
to a .phps file (the 's' is not a typo)

2. Sometimes PHP will say the file is not there when what it REALLY
means is I do not have permission to read that file or directory
If PHP can't read the directory the file lives in, it can't even SEE
the file to find out if it's there or not.

Unfortunately, the permissions model in Windows changes with every
release, so what this boils down to is poking around in endless
windows in Properties on all the directories and files until you
make things work.

Re: [PHP] What's this image tag for?

It makes it look like you displayed an advertisement, even though you
shrunk it down to 1x1, so it's not generally noticeable to the user.

Often used for tracking a user across domains for legitimate and
illegitimate purposes, and for racking up pennies for showing ads
without actually showing ads.

Can't say for sure what this particular one does...

That's the thing with showing somebody else's images/links/code on
your site. You never quite know for sure what they are doing with
it...

Here is one of their links you put in your code to

You'll notice they provide an image for you to
display embedded in the a href=... /a tags,
simple enough, but I can't figure out what that
second IMG tag is for with the little 1 x 1 image.
Since it's outside the actual link, I don't really
see what it accomplishes.

Anyone with experience with these things, or just
any idea why it's there would sure help clear the
fog from my brain on this one.

 I have tested using your exact description and get the result, you can
 be fairly certain this is not something specific to your server/machine.

 I would tend to agree with your premise - but the php devs may have
 decided against this behaviour on purpose.
 
 PHP needs to dereference symlinks so it knows exactly where it is in
 case of security violations. This prevents symlinking into paths for
 which you don't have access... especially important on shared hosts. 

(what's a shared host? ;-)

that explains why - open_base_dir (right?) - but it sounds shoddy,
surely php should just be dereferencing within the confines of the
security violation check. (and crap out if the check fails) but if the check
succeeds the symlink referencing should honoured for the remainder of play?
(or maybe that would be a nightmare to implement or just plain slow at runtime?)

I realise open_base_dir fills a need left by the lack of ability to run as a 
webserver
module in the context of a specific user on a per client basis - but really
this kind of stuff needs to be done at the system level - in a perfect
world php would not have to go near any security checks of this ilk.

another thing is that I don't have open_base_dir set to anything - there is
no restriction defined so there is can be no violation in the context
of php's security check - so why do the check at all (and therefore why
deference the symlink)

and then there is the issue of the fact that I was testing this with the CLI,
no freaking webserver in sight, and therefore running purely within the
context of the user I was logged in as not the webserver's user.

I realise I may be thinking rather simplistically about this
so I welcome any insight :-)

then again if I've raised some points which *might* be valid then
maybe there is still a case for asking a php-dev's opinion?

 I have set the permissions to 777 for the file and also put group and

Are you using FULL PATHNAME for the file, or are you relying on the

Use the FULL PATH and then you'll never have a problem.

Other than the obvious one of moving files around and needing to
change paths to match. :-)

 I have seen some bug reports on this, but haven't figured out how to
 solve it.

Post references from http://bugs.php.net if you can.

 Is this a PHP 5.1.6 related bug? I haven't seen any fix or similar.

Anything is possible, but something like this usually boils down to
operator error with paths/permissions, rather than an actual bug.

  I think you brought a solid example of superiority of exceptions

  returning error codes.

 over returning error codes and not DOING anything with them?  Sure.

 Over well-written code that does something with the returned error
 codes? no.  Just a stylistic difference really, if all developers
 consistently did their error-checking, and did it fairly well.

 Alas, they don't.

 That's exactly the point. Programmers don't check return values,
 programs have bugs.

Programmers don't write try/catch blocks, programs have bugs.

Same thing, different spelling.

 And, suppose it's NOT an fopen() that was the problem deep in the
 guts
 of the other guy's code.

 Now you are catching an error and you have NO IDEA what the [bleep]
 to
 do with it.

 If you really don't know what to do, then the right thing is probably
 an
 orderly exit of the application, no?

What I should have said is that you are catching an error assuming
that it is caused by X when it is caused by Y, and handling it
inappropriately, because you cannot tell the difference between the
errors you meant to catch, and the lower-level un-caught errors.

 At least with error code returns, you are USUALLY dealing with a
 specific way to get those codes (in PHP, not C-style shell-style
 pass-the-buck error code bubble-up).

 With error codes, you are USUALLY dealing with crashes and wrong
 behavior. Compiled programs segfault, programs in PHP produce
 unspecified numbers of E_NOTICE, E_WARNING, and quite easily drop dead
 with an E_FATAL before returning to where you'd be complaining that
 you
 don't know what to do with the error!

I know exactly what to do with those errors in set_error_handler.
:-)

 And, of course, you just ignored the question of another catch block
 doing something you wish it didn't do...

 I don't know what that means.

I don't know how else to describe it, but will make one last stab:

Pretend you are using some library of software with a lot of code, and
you have a lot of your own code.

There are try/catch blocks all over the place.

The library does something with try/catch, and you don't like the way
it handles the error.

It's very difficult to change that behaviour.

[PHP] Posix Shared Memory Support?

I have an application on Linux 2.6.9 which uses posix shared memory and

PHP only supports System V shared memory, which isn't an option for me

 To suppress a single error message in a single line you can use the @
 operator in PHP:
 
 @this_code_errors_but_youll_never_see_the_error(...);
 
 To catch errors in a more general manner:
 http://php.net/set_error_handler
 
 Also, since mysqli is new-fangled, it's probably using that fancy
 try/catch/throw stuff, so you could PROBABLY wrap it in a try/catch

if that was the case his error would have mentioned something about an
uncaught exception.

as it stands I find the WARNING inappropriate - you are forced
to use an @ if using this new-fangled object ALWAYS because a failed
connection may occur (it's a valid but undesired program state, no?) and you
have no way of checking this before the WARNING is spat out.

in this case, mainly because the WARNING is being generated inside an
object constructor, php/mysqli should be throwing an exception - which can be 
handled
in a programmatically sane way ... e.g.:

try {
$db = new mysqli('localhost', 'user', 'badpass', 'test');
} catch (DBServerException) {
echo I'm sorry our database server seems to be sleeping; exit;
} catch (DBNotFoundException) {
echo I'm sorry our database seems to have been deleted by a digruntled 
ex-sysadmin; exit;
} catch (DBConnectException) {
echo I'm sorry our database doesn't like the look of you - your not 
coming in; exit;
}

(and I seen/heard php devs state multiple times that failed object
constructors should throw exceptions on failure - actually there not much else
you can do given that return values are invalid from within the context
of an object constructor)

sidenote: where exactly do you put the @ to suppress the error in this line?:

$db = new mysqli('localhost', 'user', 'badpass', 'test');

 block and that will somehow magically suppress the error message,
 maybe...  I really don't know (or want to know) much about this, but
 you're welcome to research it and find out.

Nice idea, unfortunately it doesn't work that way. In order to have the 
__autoload function work properly for session'd objects it needs to be 
declared before the session is started. AFAIK when auto_start is on the 
session is started before any PHP is evaluated. I had to shift one of my 
frameworks around so that the __autoload was declared before 
session_start was called.


I think Jochem may be on to something with the idea of using 
auto_prepend_file but I can't say for certain whether this is done 
before or after the auto_start. If it is before then you could declare 
the __autoload function in the prepended file and it should work.

It's a theory, more than fact, obviously, as I wasn't involved in the

of IE.

Consider these facts, however:

MS has brain-dead simple .xyz - file-type-handler Operating System.

'.doc' extensions could have been trivially mapped to
'application/msword' or 'application/vnd.ms-word'

Instead, IE falls back to a generic and content-devoid
'application/octet-stream'

I suppose we could attribute this to sheer stupidity, but I'm going
with malice as the operating factor.

 I'm simply
 fed up with his bashing MS for artificial reasons (like his foaming
 over
 the allegedly MS-originated Content-Disposition header).

The Content-Disposition header was originated in MIME email.

It was then abused by MS IIS for HTTP, for which it was never intended.

And it *still* doesn't work across the board, no matter who made it up.

 *Especially* as the value carries no information since it's under the
 control of a (potentially) malicious user (he later mentioned that
 himself)! The net effect is that a naive programmer who would
 otherwise
 merrily fall prey to an exploit has to DTRT, which is inspect the
 file.

 That makes the whole thing a non-issue, and the opening remark was
 completely unwarranted, unasked for.

I am sorry you find my posts inflammatory and non-issue with

Also take note:  QualComm does not, to the best of my knowledge, have

has much invested.  As with any documentation, pay attention to the

 Richard Lynch:

 It *HAS* to prompt you for a filename and do a download, by the

Use include_path so that you never need to use .. in your includes,

 The library does something with try/catch, and you don't like the way
 it handles the error.
 
 It's very difficult to change that behaviour.

How does that differ from a situation where you're unhappy with a way

 is this what your looking for?

 http://php.net/manual/en/ref.shmop.php


 I thought shm and shmop were both system V?  I may have
 misunderstood
 because in PHP they are accessed with a key, whereas POSIX shm is
 usually accessed via a name.

 Of course I could be wrong.  :-)

 that goes for both of us, I was going on guess work really, based on
 the fact
 that this page mentions System V:

   http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.sem.php

 but this pages mentions only 'Unix Shared Memory':

   http://php.net/manual/en/ref.shmop.php

 I was kind of hoping thse 2 extensions were not actually [doing] the
 exact same thing hiding behind 2 different (which seems silly)

 maybe a bigger egghead can shed some real light on the matter
 (including the discrepancy between key/name that you mentioned).

The User Contributed Notes (*always* read those!) make it clear that
shmod is NOT Sys V.

It looks like it's not POSIX either, but I could be reading too much
into it...

Seems more similar to POSIX than Sys V, from my limited
experience^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H reading. :-)

It's possible that name was changed to key just to be more
consistent with the SysV stuff as a migration.

 declared before the session is started. AFAIK when auto_start is on
 the
 session is started before any PHP is evaluated. I had to shift one of

 session_start was called.

 I think Jochem may be on to something with the idea of using
 auto_prepend_file but I can't say for certain whether this is done
 before or after the auto_start. If it is before then you could declare
 the __autoload function in the prepended file and it should work.

Another possibility...

Do a session_write_close() to kill of the auto_start session.

Then, using session_name() and session_id() and
session_set_cookie_params() force your OWN session control, completely
independent of the auto_start session, which you can do AFTER you have
done your include()s

This should allow you to do what you want with the fewest conceptual
changes, at the price of a bogus auto_start session being wastefully
used by your webhost -- which seems pretty brain-dead to me, but there
it is.

 sidenote: where exactly do you put the @ to suppress the error in this

Since it is the 'new' operator which is issuing the WARNING, as far as
I can tell, you should put it in like this:

$db = @new mysqli(...);

It's POSSIBLE to put @ in front like this:
@$db = new mysqli(...);
when the assignment itself issues the error, such as:

@list($x, $y, $z) = each(array(1, 2));
//note the lack of a third element to assign to $z

But it seems excessive here to need it in front of $db...

 Subject: [PHP-DEV] FastCGI optmized Windows build of 5.2.1RC2

 Hello,

 I have made a second build of 5.2.1RC2 for Windows with no 
 thread safety enabled. This will only work for non threaded 
 SAPIs such as CGI/FastCGI and CLI. The reason for this is 
 that managing per thread state takes some CPU time from the 
 main task of running PHP scripts making non thread safe PHP 
 significantly faster. My initial benchmarks show 20-30% 
 performance increase.

 This, together with the new fastcgi implementation for IIS 
 from Microsoft should bring PHP performance on Windows to a new level.

I found out that new mysqli doesn't throw an exception during it's
construction. The way I figured out how to deal with it was to do this:

$db =@ new mysqli('localhost', 'user', 'badpass', 'test');

With this in place no warning messages are displayed and then I can
follow it up with a check for any errors using mysqli_connect_errno().
I was a little surprised to see it not use an exception as I thought
that would be a better mechanism to know something is wrong when
dealing with objects. Either way, it was a simple fix. I just want to
thank Fernando Chure for pointing me in the right direction.

Ok, I just downloaded the source and looked at it.  shmop is definitely 
using the System V Shared Memory interface.  The user contributed notes 
say it differs from sysvshm.  I take that to mean PHP's sysvshm module.


shmop uses shmget, shmctl, and shmat which are the System V shm 
functions (need to use ipcs and ipcrm to manage them).  Posix shared 
memory uses shm_open(), mmap(), and shm_unlink().


Guess I'll take the source for shmop and make posixshm and contribute it 
back to PHP.  Unless someone else has already done it.


Thanks for checking into this for me.  Gotta love open source, when in 
doubt read the source.  :-)

[PHP] Problem with displaying image

2007-01-05 Thread Budi Setiawan


hi, im Budi,

recently i have some problems here with displaying jpeg image in firefox
browser. at first, when i tested my  web page using IE it jsut works fine,
but when i decided to test it using Firefox 2 the problem occurs. some of my
images left undisplayed. but the things that i cant still understand is the
other images (which is have the same type -- jpeg) are still displayed well.


another unusual thing is :
1. when drag on the image it still indicating that there is an image, but
with full white color.
2. say that my image file name is tes.jpg 200x200 px, then, when i copy the
image location, it is still showing the right name, say fooofoo.com/tes.jpg,
but when open that image (typing the name fooofoo.com/tes.jpg in the
browsers address bar) my browsers window title displaying tes.jpg (GIF
Image, 1x1 pixels)

so.. what problem that i really dealt with?
