alternatively you can search for 'Rasmus' and 'ProxyPass' in the list archive and use Rasmus' rather cool ProxyPass solution to running both php4 and php5 ... his explanation should give you enough info to set it up.

[PHP] image uploading/resizing best practices in PHP
Dear All, I would like to make a script to upload a jpg filewith php to a server; then make a thumb; save if for later use. And store the path to the image in a database to display it later. But what is the best practice to do this on a relatively low traffic website? I dont know where to begin but I have 2 appoaches: 1. To make a script to upload the image and resize this on the fly and store only the thumb image somewhere for later use. While also to store the image path in de database for later retrieval. 2. to make a script to only upload the image as is and then insert the image path in the database for later use. And upon displaying the image to use like a nondistructive img scr=resizer.php?imgfile=image.jpgwidth=250 border=0 resizer to display the image in the desired dimentions. Which one would be the best practice now a days for a relative low traffic site? I really have no idean how to build this but I have a good approach I maybe could start searching for something more specific.

Re: [PHP] Passing variables
Since you're new to this, always be sure to clean up the output you get from $_GET or $_POST to avoid sql injection. Fore example: $search_value = htmlentities($_GET['search_value'], ENT_QUOTES); If you're casting to something other than a string (such as int) than you're safe and you don't have to use htmlentities. -- itoctopus - http://www.itoctopus.com Jeff [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Thank you Chris!

Re: [PHP] Question before upgrading to 5
On 3/22/07, Jake McHenry [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I don't want 2 instances of apache running, your over thinking this... I only asked if I need to change only the prefix, or if there is anything else, to get both php versions installed. Once I see my scripts are working ok, or not, I'll be getting rid of php4. I'm not running a dev machine, this is production, and the only one I have currently, my backup died last week and I haven't gotten the parts for it yet. Is prefix the only option I need to change? Or do I need to change these too? --datadir=/usr/share \ --includedir=/usr/include \ --libdir=/usr/lib \ --libexecdir=/usr/libexec \ --localstatedir=/var \ --mandir=/usr/share/man \ --infodir=/usr/share/info \ --with-exec-dir=/usr/bin \ Thanks, Jake AFAIK are these settings all relative to prefix. So if your prefix is /opt/php5, datadir would become /opt/php5/share, includedir would become /opt/php5/include etc. Tijnema Jake McHenry wrote: Sorry about the delivery and read requests.. I was tired and forgot to turn them off for the list.. alternatively you can search for 'Rasmus' and 'ProxyPass' in the list archive and use Rasmus' rather cool ProxyPass solution to running both php4 and php5 ... his explanation should give you enough info to set it up. I don't need them running parallel, only both installed I think you missed the point. you would have 2 apaches running, that is correct but the trick is to set it up so that they use the same document roots for each site that you are trying to convert. the beauty of this is that you can literally run the same site in php5 and php4 simulaneously with urls something *like*: php4.mydevsite.com php5.mydevsite.com(ProxyPassed to 'inner' apache) were HOSTS file contains: 127.0.0.1 php4.mydevsite.com php5.mydevsite.com and both outer and inner apache's use the same docroot for the given site. obviously it's just one way of setting up a comfortable dev environment - as long as you have something that allows you to doo your tihng without to much pain then thats the main thing :-) Tijnema ! wrote: On 3/22/07, Jake McHenry [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi everyone, I just got done going through all my configure options for php5, and finally configure finished successfully... I didn't install it yet, have a question. Can I have both 4 and 5 installed temporarily until I'm sure all my scripts work ok? They should, I've been careful, but I want to be sure since this is the only server I currently have. I was going to install a virtual copy of fedora and do testing, but I don't have time, hopefully someone can answer. I think I just have to change the prefix to something other than default and load the new module in httpd. If I had more time I would do this the right way, but we all know how that goes... If this will work, I can then just uninstall 4.. Hopefully it won't break anything. I'll post my configure options if anyone would like to double check Thanks, Jake If you use make install on the second one, it will add the libphp5 library to your httpd.conf, and then you would have libphp4 and libphp5 in your httpd.conf. That is guaranteed to give problems. So if you comment out one of the 2, then it works fine.

He meant that __construct() doesn't work in php4.
It's only available in php5.
php5 does this:
Is the function __construct available?
- Yes? Use it.
- No? Look for a function with the same name as the class. If
that's available, use it.
So it's backwards compatible.
Ah, yes, looking back I can see how his statement was ambiguous.

[PHP] Permissions issue on share
Ave, I¹m not sure if anyone here is going to be able to help, but I¹ve run into a permissions snag. I have Apache Web Server running on Mac OS X with PHP. I have a folder on a windows machine mounted on my Mac OS X as a share using the ³mount t smbfs //[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ShareName Share². The ³user² has full read-write permission and physically I¹m able to do anything I want sitting on my Mac OS X in this share, like create, delete or modify files. The problem is, I don¹t think Apache Web Server (or PHP) has write access on this share. In PHP, I¹m able to read data from files on this share, but I¹m not able to write data to any file on that share. I get access is denied. Is there anyway through PHP to give Apache or PHP write access to the files on this share? I don¹t see how I can provide Apache Web Server (installed on my Mac) Write Access through the Windows System that has the original folder. Windows is only able to provide the Mac User with Permissions, not Apache. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks ~~~ Rahul Sitaram Johari CEO, Twenty Four Seventy Nine Inc.

Generating a psudo-random unique key doesn't seem to be something PHP does well. I can post an extension this afternoon if anyone wants to use it. I'm curious. Take a hop over to www.mohawksoft.org, and check out download, download MUniqID and tell me what you think. It should build as a module. I'm not sure where you want to use it for, but keep in mind that if you are gonna use external modules/applications it will probably work only on your development server. Not everyone (nearly nobody) has such modules installed, so if you are planning to distribute, you need to keep in mind that everyone that want's to use the script, will need to install the used module/app. Tijnema -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] Integer question
When dealing with large numbers inside of php, I know at the int limit, a variable is recast into float. 1). How do you return the true number of the float when it reaches the upper limits of mysql's bigint (9223372036854775807). 2). How do you handle numbers that large, while maintaining precision. 3).

Or make sure the user apache runs on has write access to the share. But normal each file is set with permission 755, means that only the owner can write to it.

[PHP] Book Suggestion for ZCE
hey dudes, i want to know that which books are good to read before ZCE exam. I have read php 5 and php 4 study guides and php 4 practice tests. I have also read php|architect's guide to php security and bought a 10 slot sample exam. What else do you suggest? cheers, Danial
Re: [PHP] Permissions issue on share
Get a copy of WinSCP3 or FileZilla ftp utilities, both are free. They will show you who the owner is for the dirs and files. You can also use a SSH shell command; but, unless you are already familiar with Unix commands, using the utilities will be a lot easier and quicker. To change a file or dir when you do not own or have the proper permissions: Copy the files and dirs to your local HD Delete them on the server. Upload them from your HD to the server. Now the owner will be the ID of ftp login, that's you. Fix the permissions as needed. The files and dirs must have the others, also called world, W bit set to write and maybe the X bit also.

Jake McHenry wrote: I don't want 2 instances of apache running, your over thinking this... I whatever, I guess we have different opinions about trying to do things 'properly'. only asked if I need to change only the prefix, or if there is anything else, to get both php versions installed. so you have 2 versions of php installed. you can't run the apache module of both version simultaneously. so your going to shut down apache on a production box and then fiddle the config to run with the php5 module and bring it back up. then what? you hope that all your sites/code runs okay with php5? if it doesn't you can only fix it if you keep running with the broken sites on php5 otherwise you can only unfiddle the config and stick with php4. no? Once I see my scripts are working ok, or not, I'll be getting rid of php4. I'm not running a dev machine, this is production, and the only one I have currently, you might consider that the machine whose screen your looking at whilst reading this is a perfectly good dev machine - you seem to on a windows PC, which of itself is not a problem in terms of setting up a dev environment that suitably mirrors the apache/php/DB configuration of your production server but you may have issues with 'your' php code itself depending the [OS] portability of the code. given that the server in question is a production server there is even more reason to not disrupt service whilst testing your code on php5 - which is exactly what a second [temporary, custom] install of apache would allow you to do. sure it's a bit more work but it's also more professional - it means you can update the 'real' apache to run php5 in the safe knowledge that it will *work* with only a few seconds of down time whilst you restart the webserver process. my backup died last week and I haven't gotten the parts for it yet. Is prefix the only option I need to change? Or do I need to change these too? no just change prefix. (although I'm not 100% sure about localstatedir - I have never touched myself and I do run various machines that have php4 and php5 installed [compiled by hand as you are doing]) btw - installing a second apache is rather the same as installing a second copy of php in so far as you can also specify a custom prefix to have it install (and read it's config) from some other place - so as not to interfere with the production apache. --datadir=/usr/share \ --includedir=/usr/include \ --libdir=/usr/lib \ --libexecdir=/usr/libexec \ --localstatedir=/var \ --mandir=/usr/share/man \ --infodir=/usr/share/info \ --with-exec-dir=/usr/bin \ Thanks, Jake Jake McHenry wrote: Sorry about the delivery and read requests.. I was tired and forgot to turn them off for the list.. alternatively you can search for 'Rasmus' and 'ProxyPass' in the list archive and use Rasmus' rather cool ProxyPass solution to running both php4 and php5 ... his explanation should give you enough info to set it up. I don't need them running parallel, only both installed I think you missed the point. you would have 2 apaches running, that is correct but the trick is to set it up so that they use the same document roots for each site that you are trying to convert. the beauty of this is that you can literally run the same site in php5 and php4 simulaneously with urls something *like*: php4.mydevsite.com php5.mydevsite.com (ProxyPassed to 'inner' apache) were HOSTS file contains: 127.0.0.1 php4.mydevsite.com php5.mydevsite.com and both outer and inner apache's use the same docroot for the given site. obviously it's just one way of setting up a comfortable dev environment - as long as you have something that allows you to doo your tihng without to much pain then thats the main thing :-) Tijnema ! wrote: On 3/22/07, Jake McHenry [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi everyone, I just got done going through all my configure options for php5, and finally configure finished successfully...

Re: [PHP] Permissions issue on share
Ave, But i think that when remounting the partitition, the permissions are reset too. Unfortunately you're absolutely right! The share is re-mounted on a daily basis (along with a reboot), and thus, even if the 'copy, delete from server, copy to server' process were to work, with every unmount remount, it would go back to original permissions ownership. Fmask, dmask and for that matter some other mount_smbfs options I found are an accurate solution to this problem - but unfortunately they don't work on Mac OS X, or the Samba that comes with mac os x, one or the other.

Re: [PHP] Passing variables

[PHP] Download tracker/counter
Hi all! This is my first posting to the PHP-General mailing list so please bear with me J I have a couple of files that I would like to allow folks to download via a php script that acts as a download tracker and counter. Basically I want to: 1) Allow the downloads of said files. 2) Count the number of time a file has been downloaded. 3) Record the IP addresses of the machines that download the files. Could anyone point me in the right direction to get an example of this type of code snippet or even maybe an existing PHP script that will do this very thing? TIA for any assistance!

[PHP] Date functions differences between php 4 and 5
Dear All, I was wondering if there are any major date function changes between php4 and 5. When I say date function I mean mktime() , date() ,strtotime() etc. Here is my dilemma, I've upgraded from php4 to php5. there is some very old legacy code that is not working correctly. Specifically on our sales calendar. Some task show up but most don't. I have the old site and the new upgraded site on the same db. When entering a new task on the calendar, tasks enter w/ the new system show up on the new system and not on the old. Most old tasks don't show up on the new. The code is a pretty bad hack (why use the echo statement once when you can use it 207 times). www:/srv/www/htdocs/admin # grep -ic echo calendar/calendar.html 207 Any knowledge of this would be greatly appreciated.

Re: [PHP] Permissions issue on share - SOLVED!!
Ave, I can't believe I'm saying this, but SOLVED it! Took me about 6 hours, and this one website, with this one little snippet in one corner of a black white page on the ENTIRE Internet gave me a solution with this guy who had the same problem - and he wrote fixed it for me, hope it helps someone else - Well, if he ever came to town, beer would be on the house :) Believe it or not, two simple little parameters to the mount_smbfs command did the trick. mount_smbfs -u 70 -g 70 //[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ShareName SharePoint Explanation: First foremost, this does not work with the mount command (mount -t smbfs) which is what I was using. It only works with the mount_smbfs command. Basically you have to specify the uid gid, that is, the UserID and the GroupID that you want to specify as Owner Group of the mounted share. In my case, 70 is the uid gid of Apache Web Server on Mac OS X. With the -u 70 -g 70 specifying Apache Web Server, of the mounted share, Apache got read/write permissions to anything on the mounted share. Suddenly I was able to write to files using PHP/Apache on that share! Actually it's a useful command because once you determine UID GID of a User/Group that you want to specify for a mounted share, you can tighten security and really take control of permission sets for a mounted share. snip: I used NetInfo Manager to find out uid gid of Apache Web Server on my Mac OS X.

Well, there wasn't a test between For and While, so i did it myself,
and i'm quite confused about the result.
I let PHP count from 0 to 1 on my 1ghz AMD Athlon.
While did it in a average time of 55 seconds.
For did it in a average time of 59 seconds.
It's not a big difference, if you see what number it needs to go to,
but there is a difference.
code used:
?php
set_time_limit(10);
echo date(H:i:s);
for($i = 0; $i 1;$i++)
{
}
echo date(H:i:s);
$x = 0;
while($x 1)
{
$x++;
}
echo date(H:i:s);
?
So, use while loops instead of for loops ;)

v.s.:

The above while loop is 30% faster than the for. A little teaking on the

I was comparing the way people normal use while and for. But this does

for ($i=1000;$i--;) {}
A little tweaking on the while, and it's faster yet:

The last while loop is around 60% faster on my hardware than the first

[PHP] Creating an FTP account on the fly from PHP
I built a CMS that lets a super user create and manage basic users (among lots of other things). I want basic users to get an FTP account that is automatically associated with their website user account, and managed from my add/edit user form. For example if I create a user named [EMAIL PROTECTED] for him to login to my web app, I want my users to be able to use their same login name and password to access their web folder via FTP. I am running on LAMP on a CPanel server with ProFTP as the FTP server software, but I have no clue how to get PHP to be able to create, edit, or delete an FTP account. Can someone point me in the right direction? I can see the Form field names and URLs in the CPanel forms where this is set up, but is it safe to CURL these same URLs from my app? That seems like a big security risk. Thanks, Geoff -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Collisions are unlikely but possible so to handle those cases I'd like to regenerate the random ID until there is no collision and only then add my row. Any suggestions for a newbie as to the right way to go about doing this? Best, Craig I just wrote up a quick PHP extension that will do what you want. It is on my website, it is called muniqid, you can get it from the download area. You can build it as part of PHP or used phpize, configure, make, make install and create a module. get it at http://ww.mohawksoft.org It provides two functions: muniqid_time(), and muniqid_rand(). muniqid_time() creates a GUID looking string that incorporates, time in seconds, timer ticks, pid, ip address, and system stats to create an almost certainly unique key with enough random data to make it impossible to guess. A duplicate is only possible within your web site (I guess it could happen somewhere in the world), if you are using SMP motherboards and both processors are processing a create ID, at *exactly* the same time (within resolution of clock ticks) and are running in two threads within the same process and rand() is isolated between threads and both threads have processed the same number of IDs. Short of that, pretty impossible. muniqid_rand() creates a GUID looking string that incorporates a lot of random data from your machine. It may be less unique than muniqid_time, but is far more random. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

RE: [PHP] Question before upgrading to 5
I'll think about it.. We only use php for intranet applications I create, so the server is basically dead at nights, which is when I do most of my work. Jake McHenry wrote: I don't want 2 instances of apache running, your over thinking this... I whatever, I guess we have different opinions about trying to do things 'properly'. only asked if I need to change only the prefix, or if there is anything else, to get both php versions installed. so you have 2 versions of php installed. you can't run the apache module of both version simultaneously. so your going to shut down apache on a production box and then fiddle the config to run with the php5 module and bring it back up. The original config is from OS installation, so who knows what I could mess up by doing this, this is why I'm asking, cause I don't want to screw up php, apache would be just more to add on to it then what? you hope that all your sites/code runs okay with php5? if it doesn't you can only fix it if you keep running with the broken sites on php5 otherwise you can only unfiddle the config and stick with php4. no? Its only 1 line in httpd.conf, just change from php4 module to php5 module. Not that big of a deal Once I see my scripts are working ok, or not, I'll be getting rid of php4. I'm not running a dev machine, this is production, and the only one I have currently, you might consider that the machine whose screen your looking at whilst reading this is a perfectly good dev machine - you seem to on a windows PC, which of itself is not a problem in terms of setting up a dev environment that suitably mirrors the apache/php/DB configuration of your production server but you may have issues with 'your' php code itself depending the [OS] portability of the code. Most of my stuff works on windows too, but some of the earlier scripts accessing files don't work,, I've already considered moving the site to my desktop while I upgrade the server.. But no given that the server in question is a production server there is even more reason to not disrupt service whilst testing your code on php5 - which is exactly what a second [temporary, custom] install of apache would allow you to do. sure it's a bit more work but it's also more professional - it means you can update the 'real' apache to run php5 in the safe knowledge that it will *work* with only a few seconds of down time whilst you restart the webserver process. my backup died last week and I haven't gotten the parts for it yet. Is prefix the only option I need to change? Or do I need to change these too? no just change prefix. (although I'm not 100% sure about localstatedir - I have never touched myself and I do run various machines that have php4 and php5 installed [compiled by hand as you are doing]) btw - installing a second apache is rather the same as installing a second copy of php in so far as you can also specify a custom prefix to have it install (and read it's config) from some other place - so as not to interfere with the production apache. As long as I use prefix, all of these options point to /prefix/otheroptiondirectories correct? Making prefix the root? So in the OS installation of PHP and httpd, that's why it left prefix blank, and put in the values below. So with the config the way it is now... It would overwrite php4 and I would really be screwed... --datadir=/usr/share \ --includedir=/usr/include \ --libdir=/usr/lib \ --libexecdir=/usr/libexec \ --localstatedir=/var \ --mandir=/usr/share/man \ --infodir=/usr/share/info \ --with-exec-dir=/usr/bin \ Thanks, Jake Jake McHenry wrote: Sorry about the delivery and read requests..

RE: [PHP] Date functions differences between php 4 and 5

RE: [PHP] Question after php5 SOLVED... For now
I got it working... During the php install, it modified httpd.conf with this: LoadModule php5_modulemodules/libphp5.so .. And I moved that to my php.conf as it was in apache2 with php4, but it doesn't work in the newest version of apache that I downloaded.. They must have changed it so that the module must be loaded before something else in httpd.conf instead of calling it from an external config file.. Ok.. Now off to testing my scripts to see if they'll work under php5..

This has been asked many times, probably likewise for every language.
Search for the same question on the C programming language for a more in
depth discussion of this and to find out why one way is faster than the
other...
Major factor: Don't forget the difference between pre and post increment
operators. $i++ and ++$i.
For reference this is my PHP test script and results:

After multiple runs I see that the for pre-increment loop is fastest.
Note that the while loop with a post-increment runs once more than with
a pre-increment.
Everytime I run, the results are *very* different, though still fall
within similar comparitive domains.
