[PHP] PHP shell_exec

2007-02-27 Thread h

Hi 



I have been using the shell_exec command to perform several server queries 
quite succesfully i.e. analysing files systems by gettin ginformation returned 
by df -kP (shell_exec('df -kP')).  do any of you guts know if it is possible to 
target a command like this on another server? 



So from server A where I am running a web app, needs to run the shell_exec('df 
-kP') on server B, which also has php installed, so that i can display the 
results in my web app on server A.  Hope that makes sense!



Also, how would i fopen a file such as /proc/cpuinfo on Server B from Server A.



Any help greatly appreciated

Re: [PHP] PHP shell_exec

2007-02-27 Thread Andrei


Hi Ade,

Sure you can. You must develop 2 scripts. One that will act as
server and one as client.
So if you want to get details of server B from server A you should
have the server into B and client into A.
Be sure the communication between these 2 servers is securised
(using a certificate or build you own encryption for communication,
restrict script response depending on server ips etc...) as you want to
pass sensitive data between them.
Communication can be done using curl library or simply with fopen
(if allow_url_fopen allows it). parameters can be passed using XML or
simple parsed plain text.

[PHP] PHP Clustering System, beta testers

2007-02-27 Thread Mark

I have a PHP clustering back end server, MCache.
It is available in source form at http://www.mohawksoft.org

It allows multiple PHP web servers to share session information without any
changes to PHP code and without NFS or a database. It is based on a backend
server mcached and a PHP extension.

It is currently running on a couple websites and works successfully with
packages like Squirrelmail (which uses frames) and a few other roll your
own sites type things.

A technical discussion of why mcache is a good thing is here:
http://www.mohawksoft.org/?q=node/36

The work in progress user guide is here:
http://www.mohawksoft.org/?q=node/8


Any people willing to test would be appreciated, as would any suggestions on
how to improve the project.

I would be more than willing to help deploy this project on your site to get
feedback I can use to improve the project.

Thanks.

If you need to inspect e.g. free space on remote servers it may be more
sensible to use SNMP or some such similar protocol/system that is
designed for exactly this purpose rather than try to hack up a system in
PHP (tho' I do love my hacking!)

Have a look at Nagios. I'd imagine your servers will have some degree of
health monitoring/reporting installed anyway for your own peace of mind,
so it shouldn't be too hard to hook into that system.

I believe it is better to use strpos() in this case because it's faster.

?php
$start = strpos(strtolower($website_code), 'body');

// not necessary
$end = strpos(strtolower($website_code), '/body');

$code = substr($website_code, $start, $end-$start);

echo strip_tags($code); // clean text
?

This is very simple, but there are many HTML parsers out there if you 
want to do more complex stuff.

Though it might be possible to do by handling the HTML document as a plain 
string, the fact is lots of HTML is nor well formatted.  As sugested, using 
strpos for the start and end tags might be a faster and easier solution than 
a regex, but no browser will complain if it reaches the end of the document 
and found no closing body tag.  An initial body tag might have lots of 
attributes, such as onLoad, class, style, target  you name it, you'll 
eventually find it.  Unless you know the 'quality' of the documents you plan 
to parse, I would sugest you use a DOM parser.   PHP ships with two 
alternatives, depending on the version, which might or might not be 
installed in your setup, otherwise, you'll have to google for something you 
may use.

[PHP] shell_exec, batch files, and IIS on Windows

2007-02-27 Thread Shu Chow

The manual entry for shell_exec has a comment that notes to execute .bat 
files with shell_exec, you need to pass the command through cmd.exe with 
the /c argument.  I was wondering if anyone could share some insight on 
why that is.


I've pretty much verified that this is the case.  I can't execute .bat 
files at all from a Windows 2003 server running IIS.  I can locally on 
my development workstation (XP running Apache).  I've tried passing the 
command through cmd.exe on the server, but some of the commands in the 
.bat file does not run properly when going through cmd.exe.


I suspect that IIS is a key culprit, but I have nothing concrete.  I'd 
like to take a plausible theory to the IT guys before I request that 
they install Apache on that box.


Thanks for any insight anyone might have.

Well, there are several options here.

One option is to just build a password-protected web page on the other
server that does the exec() (or readfile for cpuinfo).  Then you can
have PHP on server A do file_get_contents on the URL, if
allow_url_fopen is ON

Depending on how complex the target command is, you could also look
into running WebServices such as SOAP, RPC, REST, etc.

A valuable source of this kind of thing is from the zillion control
panels for webhosting that are out there

I think you might maybe be able to tunnel a command through SSH as a
one-off, but perhaps I'm just dreaming I read about that in man ssh a
few months ago.

To a large degree, HOW you do this depends much more on what commands
you want to allow, and even more importantly, disallow, than on
anything involving PHP.  In fact, PHP itself is only a
thinly-disguised wrapper for whatever you will come up with.  So
you're better off asking about this kind of thing on an OS or Linux
distribution mailing list, probably.  The PHP bit will end up just
being ?php exec($something)? no matter how you look at it.

 So what exactly does cast to unset do?

If it ain't a Documented Feature, don't use it. :-)

I presume it's the same as unset($a); though.

  Thanks, but I cannot use array_push() as I don't know the name of
 the
  array that I'll be pushing to. There are four calls to the
 listFiles
  function, and each will populate a different array.

 the use of array_push() is not needed but the premise that it
 cannot
 be used is wrong - the array inside the function is always called
 $files.

 your problem is due to a simple typo, you could have checked the
 actual return
 value of the function and seen that it does return the array:

 var_dump( listFiles($thumbnailsDirectory) );


 That's what I was doing with this code:
 printpre;
 print_r($thumbnailsFiles);
 print/pre;

 Thanks, all. Silly typo does it every time!

[PHP] gettext online editor?

2007-02-27 Thread Vincent DUPONT


hello,

for translating our web applications, we use to create an XML file with the 
labels; one label for each entry; one file for each language. 
This let us:
1. create one file (in french) and let someone do the translations
2. provide the 'key users' (admins) of the application a php page that can be 
used to edit/change these translations
3. include the xml files into our cvs so that changes are managed
4. provide a new language to the application simply by adding the corresponding 
file
if needed, we can split the file on a functional basis to reduce the amount of 
data to be loaded.
Most of the time however, we simply have some form labels, feedback messages, 
menu items : less than 50 labels per page.
So this works very well.

Recently a collegue showed us gettext. As it seems very powerful, the main 
disadvantage I can see is that translations files are not directly editable. 
The admin users cannot edit the files and correct/change the translations.
Moreover, we work mainly on windows and I'd rather minimize the number of 
softwares needed by the developers to do their work (php editor, oci, mysql, 
mssql clients, cvs, svn, firefox, moz, ie, uml editor, ... so many already!)


So my question is:
do you know if there is any way of editing the gettext translation files from a 
http page? I mean, without the need to execute a 'compile' (or whatever) action 
on the webserver.

do you have any comment on translating the applications?
of course gettext seems powerful, with caching an so on. But I really believe 
the new SimpleXML can load a translation file very quickly, and php offers 
enough functionalities to do cache of the labels in the current language...

thank you


Vincent

arrays) you might patch their data structures.  Anyway, it might not be 
better than your current setup.

do you have any comment on translating the applications?

 yes, but they are in Spanish, 
(http://www.satyam.com.ar/blog/2007/01/17/internacionalizacion-y-localizacion-indice/) 
sorry, Europeans often are multi-lingual, perhaps ...

RE: [PHP] shell_exec, batch files, and IIS on Windows

2007-02-27 Thread Vincent DUPONT



hi,

maybe you can try this:
in the IIS properties, you can define the user running your IIS service. 
Ususally this is IUSR_xxx, but you can set a administrator user (see directory 
Security/ anonymous user)
try to put your win login (prefixed with your domain\ and give your password.

If you can execute your cmd and batch file, then you can be sure that the 
problem if an authorisation problem.
Afterward, re-enter the IUSR_xx user as the anonymous user, because running as 
administrator is rather dangerous!!

Also, try the 'Integrated windows Authentication', if this is checked, the 
anaonymous will NOY be used, but your own login will be used instead.
As an example, if the Use integrated authentication is active, try a phpinfo() 
and you should find your own windows login as AUTH_USER (or others, don't 
remember).
(if you have a login prompt, you can avoid it from the IE setting)


Also, have a look at the event viewer and at the IIS log file. Maybe you will 
see the error reported by IIS...

 Is there anyway for test(); to  echo called from a.php with out

 I've run yum -y update brain this week, but I've got a conflicting
 package: baby 0.1.7. The package is a self-executing job, very nicely
 done might I add, but it wakes up the system every three hours or so.
 The only error message that it throws is wah wah wah, and I've been
 unable to google the meaning. It seems to always be the same error
 message, no matter what the cause: diaper buffer overflow, system
 resources (milk) running low, over- or under- heating, they all throw
 the same error.

 Anybody else experience this? Any suggestions / known solutions?

For the resource underflow, ask your doctor if you can start using
water for the late-night resource replenishment.

baby 0.1.7 is satisfied enough with water, but will more quickly get
out of the habit of waking up for it, since it's only water, and not
full-blown milk.

I think all the rest of them just take time to resolve, and the error
messages will distinguish themselves fairly shortly, at least as to
severity of error.

When one runs a .bat file, isn't one already *IN* some kind of cmd.exe

OTOH, what is PHP doing with exec() on Windows if not firing up some

You could run a test with Apache/Windows/exec fairly quickly on any

Didja see this one:

Not, perhaps, the best answer, and maybe even not possible in your

You could also check the getServerStats functions to see if their
stats provide any indication that the server is up/down.

And finally, I suspect that you could submit a patch to get a
memcache_error() function without TOO much effort...

 Hi,

 Before I start, I am not sure whether I should have sent this to
 Memcached or PHP mailing list. So, for those who are subscribed to
 both, I apologize.

 I have started using the PHP extension at
 http://pecl.php.net/package/memcache for memcached. But, one problem I
 am having right now is that, php functions tells you nothing about
 errors.

 For example, when you call Memcache::get, it returns true or false,
 but when it returns false does this mean item is not found, or
 Memcached is down, or there is a cache corruption / compression error,
 etc. etc. And, this also is the case for Memcache::set, again when it
 returns false, you have no idea about what is going on. I tried
 turning debugging on, and this did not help much.

 As far as I can see, memcache internally sets error nos, but this
 extension completely ignores this information. And, I saw something
 like:

 PHP Notice:  Memcache::get(): marked server 'localhost:11211' as
 failed in my php logs for some of the requests (like 5-10 out of a
 thousand), but server was up, and everthing was normal, and the
 request right after this one succeeded.

 In summary, is it possible to get these errors from PHP somehow so
 that we can have an idea about what is going on and how we can handle
 them? Possibly with something like mysql_error or mysql_errno
 functions?

 Thanks in advance...

Re: [PHP] how to retrieve pictures from postgreSQL DB

As another option, you could, in theory, use mime_magic or the new
fileinfo or I think there's a GD function to guess at the type...

Personally, I think your first mistake was putting the image into the
DB at all.

Unless you're the CIA doing pixel comparisons actually in SQL stored
procedures or something. :-)

That particular horse has been beaten to death on this list, so search
the archives for more on storing images in DB versus filesystem.

Re: [PHP] indexing with fopen


You are essentially re-inventing ht://dig which is probably a Bad Idea.

But if you want to fopen() a URL, you have to have 'http://' on the
front of it, so PHP knows it's a URL, and not a very oddly-named file.

You can't upload to THOSE directories, because everybody on your same
Yahoo! machine uses those directories as a shared resource.

You hopefully are able to create a NEW directory, next to your html
directory, and upload there.

Then you can change the PHP include path via .htaccess or with
set_include_path to have your directory tacked onto the list of
directories PHP will search for include.

Re: [PHP] Combining sound files

 Hi gang:

 I can combine two mp3 sound files together by simply:

 // load  first

 $file = a.mp3;
 $handle = fopen($file, rb);
 $size = filesize($file);
 $load = fread($handle, $size);
 fclose($handle);

 // load second

 $file = b.mp3;
 $handle = fopen($file, rb);
 $size = filesize($file);
 $load .= fread($handle, $size);
 fclose($handle);

 // save both as one audio file

 $filename = tmp/a.mp3;
 $file = fopen( $filename, wb );
 fwrite( $file, $load);
 fclose( $file );

I am not certain that that creates a truly valid MP3 file, but it does
seem to work in all the players I've ever tried.

I do it all the time with ID3 tags on the fly from the DB and the
actual MP3 data from a static file.

Anybody know a good MP3 validator in command line Linux, off the top
of their heads?  My last attempt to Google didn't yeild anything, but
that was a couple years ago...

 However, I can't do the same with .WAV files. Does anyone know a way
 to combine .WAV files similar to the way shown above?

The first 256 bytes of a .WAV file contains magic numbers indicating
the bit-size (16-bit, 8-bit, whatever) and sampling rate (44.1 kHz,
22.05 kHz, 96kHz, etc) and imaging (stereo, mono, and I think maybe
others) as well as the total number of samples (I.e., file length).

There are also some slots for things like copyright, comments etc, as
I recall.

You're going to have to find specs on that header info, read the first
256 bytes of each file, compute new numbers to put into the .wav
header, and write out the new 256 bytes and then the remainders of the
two files.

If the two files are NOT both the same bit/sample rate, then you'd
have some REAL fun trying to scale/re-sample the actual audio... :-)

You may find it easier/faster to just locate a .wav splicer command
line tool and run exec with it.  Though perhaps not nearly as fun,
depending on your definition of fun.

Unless you're Richard Lynch, who has GIVEN UP on installing Flash ever

I've reached a point where my Flash experiences have been too

Re: [PHP] PHP+MySQL website cache ? Yes/No

Are you making a single eshop for just one store, or are you planning
on your eshop being distributed to a zillion users?...

Cuz unless your store gets a MILLION hits, the generation of static
HTML instead of just using PHP will probably not save you very much at
all.

Write the application the most straight-forward way you can, and then
check for acceptable performance.

If it's not acceptable, use valgrind or xdebug to find the bottleneck,
and fix it.  Repeat this step until performance is acceptable.

Trying to fix your performance before you know what the bottleneck
is, is almost always a complete waste of time/resources.

Your cart and all that has to open a DB connection anyway.

Unless you do something horribly wrong in DB design, running one more

Benchmark it on your hardware and find out.

Re: [PHP] IE6 session issues

I recall having a problem with PHP on Windows and IE where however
long the session timeout was, that's how long the session lasted, as
either the server or the browser was never sending/getting the new
cookies.

Well, actually, there was an additional 10-minute offset, as the web
server clock was *OFF* from GTM by 10 minutes, but that's another
story...

Anyway, I quit that job before I got around to really figuring out
what was wrong.

It could easily have been the session code failing to be called
correctly, even though everything else worked (as well as anything
works in Windows) okay.

Another fun issue is that if you have, say, a forum installed that
changes the cookie session time limit, and your application AND the
forum are both using the default cookie settings for the name, then
you may find that visitors to the forum have much shorter/longer
sessions than you expected.  This is what changing the session_name
will fix.

You'd really have to define your session issues and what blank
entries coming in have to do with anything for anybody to help you,
though.

Re: [PHP] getting authentication information from apache

Use ?php phpinfo();? and see what *IS* there.

If what you want isn't there, then the web server didn't provide it.

If the web server didn't provide it, PHP can't be blamed for not

So what you have is a web-server configuration issue in that case.

Re-authenticate and make them login again when they do something

Nothing you've listed matches the above, except maybe changing their

I suppose you could do it just to change any profile setting, but some

just be leaking their login credentials too easily, so that's a net

Re: [PHP] OT - FC6 as Web Server

most appropriate list.

Peter: If you want to take this offline, send me a private email. I've

[PHP] destructor sequence explained

2007-02-27 Thread james james


Hello
Can someone please help explain how the order of object destructors called
at shutdown is determined, especially with regards to objects composed
of other objects?

For example in the code below, the first example calls the destructors
exactly in the order I would expect. Since object B is still
referenced by object A, A is destroyed first, then B. However in the
second example, it appears that object B is destroyed before object A,
even though A still references B. Can someone please shed some light
on this? Thanks.
James

?php


class A{

  public function __construct($b){
  $this-b = $b;

  }

  public function __destruct(){
  echo __class__ .  destroyed\n;
  }
}
class B{
  public function __destruct(){
  echo __class__ .  destroyed\n;
  }
}

$b = new B();
$a = new A($b);


?


Outputs:
A destroyed
B destroyed



However if I add the


class A{

  public function __construct($b){
  $this-b = $b;
  $this-myself = $this;// --- This is the only change
  }

  public function __destruct(){
  echo __class__ .  destroyed\n;
  }
}
class B{
  public function __destruct(){
  echo __class__ .  destroyed\n;
  }
}

$b = new B();
$a = new A($b);


?

That outputs:
B destroyed
A destroyed

 I've run yum -y update brain this week, but I've got a conflicting

 done might I add, but it wakes up the system every three hours or so.
 The only error message that it throws is wah wah wah, and I've been
 unable to google the meaning. It seems to always be the same error
 message, no matter what the cause: diaper buffer overflow, system
 resources (milk) running low, over- or under- heating, they all throw
 the same error.

 Anybody else experience this? Any suggestions / known solutions?

For the resource underflow, ask your doctor if you can start using
water for the late-night resource replenishment.

baby 0.1.7 is satisfied enough with water, but will more quickly get
out of the habit of waking up for it, since it's only water, and not
full-blown milk.

I think all the rest of them just take time to resolve, and the error
messages will distinguish themselves fairly shortly, at least as to
severity of error.



I'll 'float' the idea of water to the sysadmin. She might like that
suggestion. Thanks.

I think that changed from version to version, so unless you are on a

yourself...

I do not think there *IS* a documented ordering to this.

Re: [PHP] getting authentication information from apache

Richard et al.,

You are right, the variable was not being provided for the apache
server. Essentially I found the answer here

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/misc/FAQ-F.html#remote-user-var

The document has to be protected in order for apache create the
REMOTE_USER variable. This was an apache subtlety I didn't know about.
As soon as I protected it with an .htaccess file, it worked fine and
the user showed up in this variable.

$_SERVER['REMOTE_USER']

Without any more than a few minutes worth of work, you can make MySQL do 
that with replication. Your in-store system could act as a slave to for 
the central system databases (any central updates trickle down to the 
slave automatically) and your in-store machine could be the master for 
the store_xyz database(s).


Network disconnect? No problem!
Network reconnect? Easy!
In-store machine failure? No problem! Just update the tables from the 
central master!

Work? Almost none!

And since this is a PHP list...

RE: [PHP] operational musings

2007-02-27 Thread Bob Dusek

The company I work for is currently doing this... using PHP in a retail
environment, with a Linux server in every store, talking to the POS
controller via a socket, storing data in a database (postgres), and
processing retail transactions in real-time.  And, sending results of
those transactions to a central server (which isn't running Linux, PHP,
or Apache).

I'm finding the PHP socket support to be unreliable, though.

Everything's fine when we have one socket open to talk to the store
controller.  I open the socket and bind to an address:port, the store
controller connects to it just fine, and we move on. 

However, right now, we're using Postgres as a queue between two programs
that are processing transactions.  I'm trying to get rid of Postgres and
use a pair of IPC sockets (created with socket_create_pair() and using
pcntl_fork()).  

The IPC sockets seem to be totally unreliable, at this point.
Sometimes, when I call socket_write(), the function just never returns.
My application doesn't die but, the line of code immediately
following the socket_write() function never gets executed in the parent
process.  The child process receives the data and logs it successfully.
So, I know the socket_write function is getting called and doing
something.  It just never returns.

Anyone here have any ideas?   

I can send more details, and even chunks of pertinent code.

RE: [PHP] operational musings

2007-02-27 Thread Bob Dusek

From my experience, database replication from the central server to each
of the stores won't scale... 

We use a timed (every X minutes), home-brewed protocol that does
something similar to a synchronization.  And, we don't synchronize the
entire database at central server (as there are parts of the central
server database that only apply to specific stores).  And, there's *A
LOT* of data at the central server... more than you want your local
server databases dealing with if they're going to keep up with any
strict performance expectations (ie. a real-time transaction processing
system in an very busy retail location).

Untested: But to encode it, you would use

Hopefully that works?

I don't know too many list denizens who live in Scandinavia, so that
severely limits your choices.

Re: [PHP] echo text - anti-spam-spider measure


It works. =P I tested it.

Try it here! =P

I'm not sure with both of your questions. I'm too lazy to try.

Untested: But to encode it, you would use

preg_replace_callback('~([\d\w])~', create_function('$a', 'return
#.ord($a[0]).;;'), $theEmail);

Hopefully that works?

[PHP] echo text - anti-spam-spider measure

2007-02-27 Thread John Taylor-Johnston

I need an anti-spam-spider measure for my site. Too many addresses are 
getting raked. In once instance, I created a flash page:

http://erasethis.glquebec.org/English/contact.htm
But I just don't have the time to create a flash image for every single 
instance, most of which come from dynamically printed PHP pages from a 
MySQL database.


Could I dynamically create a flash image, input the email and tell the 
flash image to mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]


Do anyone have a solution? Does one already exist?

My idea was to create a PHP script and output to a png. But I see many 
problems, including:


1) How do I avoid echoing the email address in the a href= tag?
2) How would I write a png that would be long and high enough?
3) How would the same script display the png?

In short, I can't see far enough how to do this and avoid spider-raking 
in the HTML or header the content of the image.


Any advice, code or input would be appreciated,
John
