Re: [PHP] Exceptions: How much is too much.
Thanks. Does anybody else have any input?

I mean, if I'm using Exceptions for all of my error handling, I could easily end up wrapping my entire script in a try block(or at least having almost all my end-code within a number of them). Not sure if I am doing it correctly either, but, what I do is use try/catch blocks to instantiate all of the objects that I need and then let the script take over. I also use exceptions to handle SQL errors in my db abstraction object(s). That way, only real messes are caught and the script then displays a graceful exit page to the user instead of screen vomit that may scare them off. --Paul All Email originating from UWC is covered by disclaimer http://www.uwc.ac.za/portal/uwc2006/content/mail_disclaimer/index.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Anything else is more like playing an Adventure Game than Programming. IMO you're absolutely right, but I didn't ask the question out of sheer curiosity but it has to do with the way script files (here at work) find the right files to include for navigation, banners etc. Symlinks to files and directories are used a lot and sometimes it's very convenient to include some files with an absolute path (the files which are the same for all) and some files with a relative path (the files specific for one page). mod_include had been used before PHP and it was common to use this technique.

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.
I always thought this kind of check would only be done if you used
safe_mode. If you're not a shared host there's no need for this kind of
check. Everyone who has the ability to place a php script on the server
also has shell access (here at work at least). To explain why I asked
about this behaviour (so it's not only a convoluted example I showed but
a simplified version of an existing directory structure (if it would be
done that way today is another question)) see also MID

I don't know for sure, I made some assumptions as a case example of why
the dereferencing might occur. Either way though, if you have one
behaviour in one situation, for portability, you had best have the same
behaviour in every situation :) Another question might be... does apache
dereference? If so, maybe PHP is just following suit :)

Hi.
I am having problems with a script I wrote which searches keywords
from a field in a mysql db table.
It is a very simple, one-page script. My site is a toplist, very
basic, still in it's infancy. When I go to the page, key in the
keywords and press submit, the head, body etc. part of the result
script is shown, but no results.
, although there are rows in my database containing the `keyword` field
data.
Below is the script, please see if you find any errors, it could be
that I just made a stupid mistake.
imho your first stupid mistake was writing a script that bloody
unmanagable.
1. check you input
2. do some processing
3. ouput your page (including any error msgs from step 1 and 2)
this is in contrast to the tactic your using, namely: dump some output,
do something, dump more output, perform a query, dump some output, do
stuff, dump some output in a loop, do stuff, dump some output, etc.

The error was caused due to a field being created after there were already rows in the table. that *shouldn't* cause you any errors. the most likely reason it did is your scripts assumption of the physical field order of your table. I would recommend not using mysql_fetch_array() instead switch to mysql_fetch_assoc() and reference the elements in the returned array by name rather than by number - this has 2 advantages: 1. you won't get bitten by fields that were added to the table after the script was written. 2. the output you generate using the returned array is alot more understandable: e.g. $row['name'] as compared to $row[0] It works like a dream and now I will correct the errors you pointed out and which you assumed I didn't know and which had no relevance to my query after I stated so boldly that it was simple. a.

[PHP] XML API, libcurl, POST Help Needed
Hi List
I have been given a rather urgent problem to solve for one of our clients. I
have to be able to connect to a server that deals with a section of the travel
industry and send and receive XML data. The API is quite poorly written and I am
finding it hard to get sense out of the companies help desk. I would appreciate
the help of the list in getting me pointed in the right direction.
The API expects a custom header and then a request. I have built the header and
I think it is OK. The request is an XML request and this is where I believe I am
having problems. I am getting an error response from the server telling me I
have invalid XML.
I am really stumped with the XML part. I have no idea how to code this section
and it appears what I am doing is not correct. I have spent days searching the
net looking for clues and so far have not succeeded.
I would appreciate help and guidance. If anyone needs any more information
please do not hesitate to ask.

Re: [PHP] OT - web based project management tool
I use dotProject, and what I like most about it is it is quite easy to modify and enhance. For example, it uses a PDF library (name escapes me at the moment) and in 2 hours I wrote a quite nice invoicing module for it. I know, I think there is already one out there, but I like to add my own features and stuff, and was also very curious to see just how easy dP was to modify/enhance, and I found it quite easy.

Hi List
I have been given a rather urgent problem to solve for one of our clients. I
have to be able to connect to a server that deals with a section of the travel

finding it hard to get sense out of the companies help desk. I would
appreciate
the help of the list in getting me pointed in the right direction.
The API expects a custom header and then a request. I have built the header
and
I think it is OK. The request is an XML request and this is where I believe I
am
having problems. I am getting an error response from the server telling me I
have invalid XML.
I am really stumped with the XML part. I have no idea how to code this section
and it appears what I am doing is not correct. I have spent days searching the
net looking for clues and so far have not succeeded.
I would appreciate help and guidance. If anyone needs any more information

The way I see it your Content-Length is wrong - the
length of your request in this instance would 380 bytes,
based on the length of $xmlstr. but that's probably not right
either.
I imagine you need to set Content-Length dynamically,
assuming curl doesn't do that for you ...
as a side note: why bother setting all these vars then stricking
them in an array - why not just stick the strings directly in the array?
additionally if you don't need to use double quotes (for variable
interpolation) single quotes are [marginally] faster [in theory] because
no variable interpolation is attempted on them.
e.g.
$headers = array(
'Accept-Encoding: gzip',
'Transfer-Encoding: identity',
'Accessmode: agency',
'Accessid: XXX XXX_layout',
'Accept: application/xml',
// etc
);
$a_encoding = Accept-Encoding: gzip;
not related to your current issue, but are your really accepting
a gzip'ed reply? this might cause you headaches once you have the
current problem solved.
$t_encoding = Transfer-Encoding: identity;

what that name is I don't know but the previous line should look something like
this (*I think*):
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, array('xml' = urlencode($xmlstr)));
you might consider point the curl request to a script you control,
so that you can see exactly what the request is sending.
e.g. $url = 'http://yourdomain.tld/your-curl-request-test.php';
... and have your-curl-request-test.php write all it's recieved headers, etc

I'm guessing that is_readable() is going to return false, which would point
the fact that either the drive or the directory is not readable by the webserver
process (you don't mention whether you are running via a the webserver but I

are given the output your generating include a 'br') - the situation maybe
compounded
by the fact that F: is actually a mapped drive of some sorts (I have no idea

[PHP] ODBC and long text fields
Hi all. I've a question regarding PHP's ODBC support. Here's the situation: We've a PHP app that uses ODBC to talk to a MS SQL server. Its original home was on a server that used the OpenLink ODBC driver, which was a POS, so we build an abstraction wrapper around the subset of PHP's ODBC functions that we were able to use to make it usable. The internal code for a query is built on odbc_exec, odbc_fetch_row, and odbc_result. The main interesting part is that the original driver didn't allow for named results, so instead we have a small string parser that reads the incoming SQL query, extracts the field names, and then uses that to map the numeric result indexes to their field name. Kinda clunky, but worked well and used only a minimal ODBC footprint. That worked fine on their old system. However, the client then moved from a Windows IIS server to Apache and PHP 5.1.6 on a Linux box, but still talking to an MS SQL server on a Windows box. We migrated our test environment to the same; Linux/Apache/PHP 5.1 talking to MS SQL on a Windows box over the network. Our system uses the unix_ODBC and freetds stack for ODBC connectivity, and that works fine. On the client's system, it works fine except for a few odd cases. Specifically, on a few queries that pull data from large text fields the query may hang. It seems to reliably hang on certain records only, and only after those records have been edited. It seems that when updating a record, there is a small chance of something happening to that record and it then not working thereafter. A PHP test script run from the command line freezes, while the same query run directly on the SQL server returns almost instantly. The client has been in contact with their ODBC driver vendor (they're using a commercial driver), and the vendor's response is that we're not using ODBC correctly. Specifically, they say: - I followed the ODBC calls in your odbc trace file and I got error Invalid Descriptor Index on SQLGetData as well. I know we normally don't handle the retrieval of large dataset like Text using SQLGetData as your application is doing. I'm in the research of whether the way your application does is valid or not. - They then followed up with: - We have done some research on this issue. We realized that your application is binding all the columns for the resultset and then use SQLGetData. This is not the correct way to do. You can either use bind column for result set and then print out the data in the bound buffer, or use SQLGetData to get the unbound resultset. - They then include some sample code that is all in C. Now I'll be honest and say I don't quite follow what they're talking about. I do not claim to be an ODBC guru, but SQLGetData is a lower-level operation, SQL level or C level I don't know, but not something that happens in PHP code as far as I am aware. Are they saying there's a bug in PHP's odbc_fetch_row()? Or is it a bug in their driver if it can't handle whatever it is odbc_fetch_row() does internally? Or should we be using odbc_result() instead of odbc_fetch_row() if we're dealing with a text field rather than a varchar or int? I am confused, and would appreciate assistance in becoming less confused. :-) Thanks. -- Larry Garfield AIM: LOLG42 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ: 6817012 If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it. -- Thomas Jefferson -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

I don't know much about MSSQL, or whether 'text' is an actual field type, but maybe this function offers a wayout?: http://php.net/manual/en/function.odbc-binmode.php are the php versions on the 2 systems you mention exactly the same?

Re[2]: [PHP] XML API, libcurl, POST Help Needed
Hi Jochem,
Thanks very much for your help. I now have the application working. Just for
anyone elses interest here are a few comments.
$length = Content-Length: 502;
JM The way I see it your Content-Length is wrong - the
JM length of your request in this instance would 380 bytes,
JM based on the length of $xmlstr. but that's probably not right
JM either.
JM I imagine you need to set Content-Length dynamically,
JM assuming curl doesn't do that for you ...
Yes curl does it for you I have discovered. So I removed this Content-Length and
found that it is now dynamically generated.
JM as a side note: why bother setting all these vars then stricking
JM them in an array - why not just stick the strings directly in the array?
JM additionally if you don't need to use double quotes (for variable
JM interpolation) single quotes are [marginally] faster [in theory] because
JM no variable interpolation is attempted on them.
Because I was being a bit lazy and wanted to see more of what was going on. Of
course you are right and I have now cleaned up my code as you have suggested.
$a_encoding = Accept-Encoding: gzip;
JM not related to your current issue, but are your really accepting
JM a gzip'ed reply? this might cause you headaches once you have the
JM current problem solved.
Yeah this gzip is a real pain. The API specifies either a gzipped or a
compressed data transfer. Some of the returns from the server, in Germany, can
be quite large so I guess the developers wanted to save some bandwidth by
compressing the data. I have just discovered that if I leave the
Accept-Encoding: gzip out all together then the whole process works with the
data returned in plain uncompressed text :-)
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, urlencode($xmlstr));
JM I am guessing that the urlencoded $xmlstr should be given a POST parameter
name,
JM what that name is I don't know but the previous line should look something
like
JM this (*I think*):
JM curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, array('xml' = urlencode($xmlstr)));
This was where I had suspected I was having trouble. What I did find was that
the whole thing now works just by removing the urlencode all together. It
appears that the Content-Length was the problem all along and once that was
fixed and the urlencode was removed everything was fine.
JM you might consider point the curl request to a script you control,
JM so that you can see exactly what the request is sending.
JM e.g. $url = 'http://yourdomain.tld/your-curl-request-test.php';
JM ... and have your-curl-request-test.php write all it's recieved headers, etc
JM to a log file.
Probably a good idea for debugging.
Thanks for your help.

Re: [PHP] ODBC and long text fields
On Sunday 07 January 2007 8:26 pm, Jochem Maas wrote: Now I'll be honest and say I don't quite follow what they're talking about. I do not claim to be an ODBC guru, but SQLGetData is a lower-level operation, SQL level or C level I don't know, but not something that happens in PHP code as far as I am aware. Are they saying there's a bug in PHP's odbc_fetch_row()? Or is it a bug in their driver if it can't handle whatever it is odbc_fetch_row() does internally? Or should we be using odbc_result() instead of odbc_fetch_row() if we're dealing with a text field rather than a varchar or int? the way I read it odbc_result() is just an alternative way of doing what you do with odbc_fetch_row() - I can't see any reason why doing it with odbc_result() would suddenly make it work - nonetheless it might be worth trying it just to rule it out. with regard to wanting results returned in a 'named' fashion, does the new setup still not allow use of odbc_fetch_array() instead of odbc_fetch_row()? not that I see any logic in that solving the issue, again it might be worth trying to see if it does. Honestly I've not tried. (I also don't have the wrapper code in front of me at the moment. g) That could be a nice thing to simplify for performance, but I suspect that if the problem is with odbc_fetch_row() then odbc_fetch_array() will have the same bug. I don't know much about MSSQL, or whether 'text' is an actual field type, but maybe this function offers a wayout?: http://php.net/manual/en/function.odbc-binmode.php No, that looks like it's for binary data. Text is a MS SQL field for huge-ass text fields, essentially similar to the MySQL field of the same name (at least at an API level). We also tried playing with odbc_longreadlen() and setting MS SQL's TEXTSIZE and TEXTLENGTH parameters to no avail. are the php versions on the 2 systems you mention exactly the same? (you mention 5.1 and 5.1.6) this could be a clue to the problem. It's either both 5.1.6 or 5.1.6 live and 5.1.4 devel. (I don't recall what our exact version is atm.) We're in the process of upgrading our server soon, and I'm not sure what it will have. Probably 5.2, just to keep life interesting. :-) lastly I don't suppose that it possible for you to switch to using the MSSQL specific php extension? [http://php.net/mssql] it might offer a better/faster connection to the MSSQL server as well as making the issue go away. I don't believe the client allows direct MSSQL connections. Besides, the MSSQL functions still require an ODBC driver underneath, so if the problem is with the ODBC driver then that won't change anything. -- Larry Garfield AIM: LOLG42 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ: 6817012 If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it. -- Thomas Jefferson -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
RE: [PHP] How to suppress error messages when using 'new mysqli(...)'
Well - first I would turn off display errors and turn on log errors.
Then - well there is always the error suppressor (@) - but I personally
don't like it. You could also create a custom error handler... And I
wonder if mysqli supports exceptions...

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

RE: [PHP] Question regarding include() and symlinks to directories
hello, if I can still contribute to this topic, I suggest you never use simlinks. We experienced very bad maintenance problems at a customer : when copying new files through FTP, the simlinks were often erased or overwriten. And this occured on every upgrade of the scripts. This would not occur with a simple and stable include_path setting. Moreover, one can set the include_path dircetly from PHP, allowing for example 2 applications to define their own include_path. Finaly, simlinks are not available on win32 platforms. So, the include_path should be more stable (considering FTP) and more flexible than simlinks.

Re: [PHP] Arrays?
Hello William Stokes,
1 write a callback function:
[php]
function cmp_forth_value($left,$right){
return $left[4]$right?-1:($left[4]==$right[4]?0:1);
}
[/php]
2 use the usort function
usort($test,'cmp_forth_value');
