If you use http://php.net/session_start, I guess you could declare
that your session timeout *IS* the definition of current users...
But, really, even at 5 minutes, you may be counting a lot of people
who have LEFT your site.
There is no real number for this.
Do whatever you want.

?
this fuction works fine, however, i want to know if what i am about to
ask is possible.
the problem i have is, this function assumes that after five minutes
if the user has not refreshed the page, or gone onto another page the
user must be gone. in reality, i have pages users might be on for an
hour or so without refreshing. i want my whos online to as acurate as
possible so is there a way to do this on the fly? like, forgetting
about the expire time and using a server side peice of code to
communicate to the database, when there is no more communication the
entry is deleted? please tell me there is a way, thank you in advance.

Hello,
on 02/06/2007 12:43 AM Richard Lynch said the following:
Often writing books is also not worth the effort. Many authors that
try
it, only write one book and then give up because the books do not sell
enough and they realize they can make more doing something else like
consulting.
If writing the book isn't going to get you paying gigs because you're
the expert having written the book, then you're almost for sure
going to be getting paid less than minimum wage if you account the
hours correctly, as I understand it.
Right. Most author write books because they love what they write about.
I know very few people that wrote more than one PHP book. Dedicating
time writing books is a big sacrifice. It is not the most efficient way
to make a living.
Anyway, keep in mind that a US minimum wage is a reasonable amount of
money for people in other countries. Writing books is not such a bad
money if they get published by an US or European publisher. The whole
PHP community that buy their books should be thankful because some
writers work very hard to make a living.
Some authors of books that I reviewed in the PHPClasses site have
written me asking if I could review their new books. If that encourages
them to keep writing good books, I am pleased to help them.
Unfortunately I do not have the time to review all books that I am asked
to review. That is why I am encouraging other people with

But of course, this only works for simple GET requests. It does not forward headers (like Authentication), and won't work if the request is a POST. Has anyone a suggestion on how I could implement a better proxy? I am not looking for a perfect solution. Something that would forward headers and handle posts would be good enough. if your using apache then you should look at the ProxyPass directive - very hand, STW or STA for more detailed info.

Over the weekend, I was tasked with taking a string representation of
a directory ('\Interface\Addons\some dir\some file'), which can
vary in length (no set number of depths) to a multi-dimensional array
(i.e. array('Interface' = array('Addons' = array('some dir' =
somefile)));).
We came up with a very ugly hack to do it, but I'm curious if anyone
can help us wrap our head around a better solution, without using eval
(which we were able to find that solution quickly, but do not want to
use eval).
Our situation is a little unique in the fact that these files don't
actually exist on a filesystem, so it makes it a bit more tough to
actually create this array.
Thanks for any help you can give in cleaning this up somewhat.
Here is the function we currently use:
?php
$array = array();
addToList('\interface\addons\clearfont\clearfont.toc2', $array);
addToList('\interface\addons\clearfont\clearfont.toc3', $array);
addToList('\interface\addons\clearfont\clearfont.toc4', $array);
addToList('\interface\addons\clearfont\clearfont.toc5', $array);
addToList('\interface\addons\clearfont\subdir\something.toc', $array);
function addToList($path){
$parts = explode('\\', $path);
$result = array();
$parts = array_reverse($parts);
foreach($parts as $part){
//something with array_splice here...
$result = array_splice(array($result), $part); //???
array_splice won't cut it as it only splices at 1 level, unless I misunderstood
the OP is looking to dynamically build a multilevel array - which means
either using recursion or 'reference based array digging' (as I like to call it
;-)
there may also be some kind of solution based on
ArrayArrayArrayIteratorIteratorRecursiveArrayIteratorIteratorRecursiveIterator
but
personally I don't grok those exotic forms of SPL interface well enough to tell
you.

[PHP] All-in-one PHP Classes
Hello folks, Have been reading posts daily for two months now on the list, and am very pleased at how informative these can be. I have noticed, many examples where one is pointed to using classes downloadable on the internet. Not a very big user of these classes my self (maybe a bit naïf in this sense, but i just can't have unnecessary code loaded on an include() i like to keep things clean and to a minimal)I decided to go through and look at how they are built and what kind of code load we are talking about. This is when i realized how often these classes that do everything are very BIG. Now I realize how many functions this type of class can have and how handy it can be for someone who does not want to code his own, and yes I hear all the reinventing the wheel comments comming forth as well as security etc, BUT (yes THE but) are general classes like this pushing to using bigger, more bloated web application which require more and more bandwidth/processor/ram, server-side? Here, it's the programmer who is confronted with loading huge files into memory to use just one perhaps two function in a 300+ functionality class.. At what moment does one decide to use an all-in-one bloated with out of context functionality, php class, knowing how powerfull only several functions in this class can be to him? Shouldn't these classes be perhaps broken down into usefull parts. Thanks for any input.

Re: [PHP] PHP5 Commercial Development
Robert Cummings skrev: I sincerely question the competence of someone who advocates a one size fits all approach to programming. There are many reasons why a developer may work with the old-school interface calls. For instance they may be supporting an old school application. They might be writing their own abstract layer. They might be optimizing an extremely loaded system whereby explicitly using the API calls improves speed. Prepared statements only improve speed when making multiple queries to the database having the same format. They slow things down when making unique queries. Any developer worth his salt doesn't need prepared statements to improve security, and assuming prepared statements will protect you is silly since they cannot protect against everything. A professional knows when to use any given approach given the environment and requirements. Cheers, Rob. So I was perhaps a bit inflammatory in my post. But I do not see myself completely rebutted. 1. Maintaining legacy apps does not fall under the categories I was referring to. If you are bound by legacy constraints it is another ballgame. 2. In a short mail like this one there is not room to expand every minute detail. I do realise that PDO is not the best way to go for every app. But in saying that prepared statements is a really good way to protect against SQL-injection, I'm just echoing Ilia Alshanetsky (spelling?) and a few other rather renowned security experts. Of course one should always have a defense in depth, though. 3. Speed loss from prepared statements are usually negligible even for a single query. There are tests published on the net. And if one wants speed, one should probably consider a caching layer between PHP and ones DBMS. The OO-model in PHP 5 would make such multi tiered apps simpler to develop as well. The question PHP 4 or PHP 5: If you stay with 4 you are bound to a one size fits all solution. In PHP 5 you can use DB-specific drivers or PDO or a PHP-based abstraction layer. That's *more* choice, not less! To summarize: With PDO or mysqli I can use both old school SQL and prepared statements, in PHP 4 there are fewer options! My case for PHP 5 stands intact. And finally: With each new release of PHP we can expect improvements in PDO, making it a more future safe alternative.

Re: [PHP] _GET('name') truncates
# [EMAIL PROTECTED] / 2007-02-05 18:09:21 -0600: GET args can be truncated at some number, if the server does not want to allow longer args. I believe the minimum compliant limit is 1024 bytes. Since you asked for a reference in the other post: HTTP/1.1 tries to be as general as possible, and doesn't impose limits on line lengths. Some commented quotes follow, I hope it's digestible. # 3.2.1 General Syntax # #URIs in HTTP can be represented in absolute form or relative to some #known base URI [11], depending upon the context of their use. The two #forms are differentiated by the fact that absolute URIs always begin #with a scheme name followed by a colon. For definitive information on #URL syntax and semantics, see Uniform Resource Identifiers (URI): #Generic Syntax and Semantics, RFC 2396 [42] (which replaces RFCs #1738 [4] and RFC 1808 [11]). This specification adopts the #definitions of URI-reference, absoluteURI, relativeURI, port, #host,abs_path, rel_path, and authority from that #specification. RFC 2396 doesn't mention any length limits. #The HTTP protocol does not place any a priori limit on the length of #a URI. Servers MUST be able to handle the URI of any resource they #serve, and SHOULD be able to handle URIs of unbounded length if they #provide GET-based forms that could generate such URIs. Case closed. If there's no a priori limit on the length of a URI, then there isn't any limit on the length of the request line, the Location response header, or the Content-Location entity header. # A server #SHOULD return 414 (Request-URI Too Long) status if a URI is longer #than the server can handle (see section 10.4.15). 10.4.15 414 Request-URI Too Long doesn't add anything interesting. # 4 HTTP Message # # 4.1 Message Types # #HTTP messages consist of requests from client to server and responses #from server to client. # #HTTP-message = Request | Response ; HTTP/1.1 messages # #Request (section 5) and Response (section 6) messages use the generic #message format of RFC 822 [9] for transferring entities (the payload #of the message). The keyword is entities. Applying the email-specific header length limit to a HTTP implementation would IMO be a mistake. For completeness, RFC 822: # 3.4.8. FOLDING LONG HEADER FIELDS # #Each header field may be represented on exactly one line con- #sisting of the name of the field and its body, and terminated #by a CRLF; this is what the parser sees. For readability, the #field-body portion of long header fields may be folded onto #multiple lines of the actual field. Long is commonly inter- #preted to mean greater than 65 or 72 characters. The former #length serves as a limit, when the message is to be viewed on #most simple terminals which use simple display software; how- #ever, the limit is not imposed by this standard. As you can see, the standard specifically disclaims a length limit. The 998-character limit you mentioned (IIRC) in another post comes from RFC 2822 (replaces 822), which imposes it for compatibility with legacy systems which could not handle lines longer than 1000 characters (RFC 2822, 2.1.1. Line Length Limits): #The 998 character limit is due to limitations in many implementations #which send, receive, or store Internet Message Format messages that #simply cannot handle more than 998 characters on a line. Receiving #implementations would do well to handle an arbitrarily large number #of characters in a line for robustness sake. This limitation doesn't apply to HTTP, that'd conflict with the unbound URI statement in 3.2.1. As for the server side: Status codes 413 and 414 are SHOULD, but any server which silently truncates either the request URI or the request entity has serious interoperability problems. Summary There are no limits on line length in HTTP, servers need to be able to handle anything they need to work, and clients need to support headers as long as they want to send. HTTP/1.1 doesn't address URI or entity truncation in user agents specifically, that's simply a bug, not a protocol violation. -- How many Vietnam vets does it take to screw in a light bulb?

Without any modifier, $ matches the END of the string.
It is impossible to have the end of the string followed by more stuff.
You maybe meant to add 'm' and or 's' after the ending '/', which
would indicate that you are looking for a newline followed by
'\/index.php' but I doubt that that is what you want either...
I don't think you want the $ in there at all...
Or maybe you want it right before the final '/' to make sure the URL
has nothing else after the 'index.php' part.

You got the end-of-string character ($) in the wrong place:

I believe the minimum compliant limit is 1024 bytes. I may well have been remembering HTTP/1.0 or even 0.9 or lower specs. Circa 1995, I suppose... Sorry. That said, I cannot find the exact section I was thinking of from any HTTP spec online, where HTTP implementations were enouraged to make the GET/POST limits as high as practical, but they could not be lower than 1024? for GET and 4096? for POST to be compliant. Maybe I'm even remembering some ephemeral draft or something... I did find this fairly quickly: http://classicasp.aspfaq.com/forms/what-is-the-limit-on-querystring/get/url-parameters.html So even if the server doesn't limit the URL length, SGML, a superset of HTML, does limit it in the actual HREF, according to that one. Utlimately, the specs aren't really all that relevant, since the original poster probably is hitting a limit, whether it's a compliant server or not. I'd love every server to be in spec, but that's not quite the real world we live in, unfortunately. The document you referenced recommends not exceeding 255 characters, for that very reason -- broken proxy servers.

[PHP] Opera advice needed!
Hello, I just noticed when I published a new menu system that it does NOT work in the ISP hosted server. However it works ok on my test server. Here's the test I have done all in same client machine (=unchanged browser settings): My test server: IE6 7-OK Opera 9.02 - OK Firefox -OK ISP server: IE6 7-OK Opera 9.02 - DOES NOT WORK! Firefox -OK The system relies on JS also I can see from the browser source code that all PHP has printed out all JS like it should but the menu is not printed to browser. Could you give me some pointers how to troubleshoot this? It must be something server related but not folder or file rights according to my testing.

[PHP] PHP4 extensions not loading
Hey all, I installed a new server with PHP5, but then had to revert to PHP4 (attempted anyway) on a FreeBSD 6.0 install. I have PHP4 compiled, both the main BSD port of lang/php4 and all of the extensions individually. However, the extensions, including basic ones like MySQL are not getting loaded. I have an identical server that is working fine that was built some time ago, and the only difference I can see is that the working server as options file listed in /var/db/ports/php4-extensions The server that is not working had a smaller file in /var/db/ports/php4 That did not list the additional extensions I compiled individually. The output of phpinfo() can be seen on each server at bigskypenguin.com/info.php (working) venomouspenguin.com/info.php (not working) You can see that the venomouspenguin.com server the extensions are not showing up, but I am certain they are compiled and installed, because the make (s) tell me so. What I need to do is get Apache looking at a /var/db/ports/php4-extensions directory, which I did create with the options file listing all the extensions I built individually. Can someone tell me how this can be done? How I can tell Apache to load the extensions in that directory? It is way too late, I am way too exhausted and going to bed. Thanks so much for any help.

[PHP] base64-encoding in cookies?
Hi,
A campus web server (not under my control) returns an authentication
string in a cookie named AUTH. The cookie's value is an encrypted,
base64 encoded string. Unfortunately, when I examine $_COOKIE['AUTH'],
it is clear that all of the '+' characters have been replaced with a ' '
character in the base64 string. Why is this? Obviously, this corrupts
the data and makes it impossible to base64-decode the string correctly.
I believe this is a php issue and not, say, an apache issue because a
perl program can correctly authenticate the same cookie based on perl's
$ENV{'HTTP_COOKIE'}. i.e., the perl cookie contains the original '+'.
Does anyone know how to make php (v5.1.5) do the right thing with base64
encoded cookies?
Thanks
Fletcher
