To start, if anyone could tell me how to use a socket connection from a CLI client to a CLI server to retreive an array (it'll do for now :) if its even possible that is! Sorry if thats not the best explanation! You just need some sort of agreed upon protocol. For instance the server might treat any input from the client that is terminated by a newline as a command. So for instance the client might send: get array Then the server would parse the request and realize that the client wants an array. Then it would echo the data in some manner understood by the client (XML, SOAP, PHP serialized data, JSON, etc). The server would also send some kind of terminator indicating the end of the data (which could be as simple as closing the connection). Then the client just needs to parse what it received.

[PHP] ftp_put() problem??
Can anyone help with this. On a Linux/Apache server. I want to simply copy a file with ftp_put() from one dir to another.

Depending on the session implementation you are using, PHP locks the session data for the duration of the request. So doing as you suggest would mean the server could only process one request at a time. The best option is to use a database, as this is the sort of thing they are designed to do. Also note that I was suggesting memcached not for it's caching abilities, but the fact that it provides controlled access to shared data.

As I understand this, you want to create a web page of your own which
accepts requests for customers who are going to order products from your
supplier. You want to have a form on your page which accepts their
requests, then forward the form data on to your supplier's web site, where
presumably it will be processed. Then you want to retrieve the response
from your supplier's page, and display the result on your own web page.
You suggest that the response string for success is relatively stable
and that this string is this what you want to search for in the response.
This doesn't sound like a very complicated problem. You can do this
either using Ajax or not. The basic solution is the same. You have a
script on the server which accepts the form data from your page and
re-sends it to the supplier's site. If your supplier's site accepts form
data using GET, then you can simply create a url with the form data
attached in a query string:
http://my.supplier.com?fdata_1=data1fdata_2=data2
Send this url to your suppler using file_get_contents:
$return_string =
file_get_contents(http://my.supplier.com?fdata_1=data1fdata_2=data2;);
This will return the html file as a string which you can then parse with
preg_match() for the 'success' string.
The problem is more involved if your supplier doesn't accept GET but only
accepts POST. Then you have to use either curl or fsockopen to post your
data. I've tested the following fockopen script and it worked for me:
?php
$fp = fsockopen(my.supplier.com, 80, $errno, $errstr, 30);
if (!$fp) {
echo $errstr ($errno)br /\n;
} else {
$out = POST http://my.supplier.com/form_page.html / HTTP/1.1\r\n;
$out .= Host: my.supplier.com\r\n;
$post = form_data_1=data_1formdata_2=data_2;
$len = strlen($post);
$post .= \r\n;
$out .=Content-Length: $len\r\n; $out .= Connection:
Close\r\n\r\n;
$out .= $post;
fwrite($fp, $out);
$result= ;
while (!feof($fp)) {
$result .= fgets($fp, 128);
}
fclose($fp);
echo $result;
}
?
You have to adhere to the above sequence. The posted data comes last and
it is preceded by a content-length header which tells the receiving server
how long the posted data is. The returned result is the html page
returned from your posted request.

Re: [PHP] PHP Data Mining/Data Scraping
THanks,
I will have far to much data to append to a GET request so a POST is the
best option I think.

I want to accept queries on behalf of my supplier, forward it to them

Has anyone had any experience with this? Is there a simple, basic

I was kind of hoping I could avoid developing it myself.
As I understand this, you want to create a web page of your own which
accepts requests for customers who are going to order products from your
supplier. You want to have a form on your page which accepts their
requests, then forward the form data on to your supplier's web site, where
presumably it will be processed. Then you want to retrieve the response
from your supplier's page, and display the result on your own web page.
You suggest that the response string for success is relatively stable
and that this string is this what you want to search for in the response.
This doesn't sound like a very complicated problem. You can do this
either using Ajax or not. The basic solution is the same. You have a
script on the server which accepts the form data from your page and
re-sends it to the supplier's site. If your supplier's site accepts form
data using GET, then you can simply create a url with the form data
attached in a query string:
http://my.supplier.com?fdata_1=data1fdata_2=data2
Send this url to your suppler using file_get_contents:
$return_string =
file_get_contents(http://my.supplier.com?fdata_1=data1fdata_2=data2;);
This will return the html file as a string which you can then parse with
preg_match() for the 'success' string.
The problem is more involved if your supplier doesn't accept GET but only
accepts POST. Then you have to use either curl or fsockopen to post your
data. I've tested the following fockopen script and it worked for me:
?php
$fp = fsockopen(my.supplier.com, 80, $errno, $errstr, 30);
if (!$fp) {
echo $errstr ($errno)br /\n;
} else {
$out = POST http://my.supplier.com/form_page.html / HTTP/1.1\r\n;
$out .= Host: my.supplier.com\r\n;
$post = form_data_1=data_1formdata_2=data_2;
$len = strlen($post);
$post .= \r\n;
$out .=Content-Length: $len\r\n; $out .= Connection:
Close\r\n\r\n;
$out .= $post;
fwrite($fp, $out);
$result= ;
while (!feof($fp)) {
$result .= fgets($fp, 128);
}
fclose($fp);
echo $result;
}
?
You have to adhere to the above sequence. The posted data comes last and
it is preceded by a content-length header which tells the receiving server
how long the posted data is. The returned result is the html page
returned from your posted request.

Re: [PHP] PHP Data Mining/Data Scraping
THanks, That's what I thought... I really only need to check for one value = success - anything else should redirect back to the form entry page and display whatever result has been returned from the remote site. cUrl should be able to differentiate between a connection and an application failure shouldn't it? The way I see it: 1: If I can connect to port80 THEN continue ELSE goto:6 2: If I get a response THEN continue ELSE goto:6 3: If response contains result tags THEN continue ELSE goto:6 4: If result tags contains success THEN goto:5 ELSE goto:7 5: Display success and finish 6: Display connection error and resort to email and finish 7: Reload form and display error returned within result tags thanks Shannon Richard Lynch [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Sat, May 19, 2007 10:22 pm, Shannon Whitty wrote: I'm looking for a piece of software or coding that will let me post a form to another URL, accept the response, search it for a specific success string and then let me continue processing the rest of my program. http://php.net/curl I want to accept queries on behalf of my supplier, forward it to them behind the scenes, accept their response and display it within my website.

Or when they alter their web application and then yours breaks because of it... You'll end up taking a simple 5-line program and adding about 50 lines of what if error handling if you do this right...

[PHP] Creating process and do actions with signals
Hi,
I have this script testing.php that I run on a Linux machine thru the
command line. In the end of the file you see two cases. One where it
is just having a while(true) loop doing nothing, and the other calling
an other script that is doing nothing but doesn't exit. When I send
SIGTERM for the first case it does what it is supposed to do, but when
sending SIGTERM to the other case it doesn't work.
Might it be so that the signals cannot be handled if the script is
busy creating its own process or similar? Because when executing it
with case two doesn't leave the exec() part until the other script
exits, and it will never exits.
I try to send the signal with:
# kill -s SIGTERM 24574
The ps -ef | grep testing.php | grep -v grep looks like this as example:
500 24574 1 0 13:50 ?00:00:00 /usr/bin/php ./testing.php
Best regards,
Peter Lauri
Code:
+
#!/usr/bin/php
?php
declare(ticks = 1);
$pid = pcntl_fork();
if ($pid == -1) {
die(could not fork);
} else if ($pid) {
exit(); // we are the parent
} else {
// we are the child
}
// detatch from the controlling terminal
if (!posix_setsid()) {
die(could not detach from terminal);
}
function sig_handle($signo) {
switch($signo) {
case SIGTERM:
echo I got the SIGTERM signal:.$signo.\n;
break;
case SIGCHLD:
echo I got the SIGCHLD signal:.$signo.\n;
break;
case SIGINT:
echo I got the SIGINT signal:.$signo.\n;
break;
}
}
pcntl_signal(SIGTERM, sig_handle);
pcntl_signal(SIGCHLD, sig_handle);
pcntl_signal(SIGINT, sig_handle);
//Case 1 with just a while loop is working
//while(true) {
//
//}

//infinite while loop does not work

I should amend this to say that this will eject the cdrom drive on the
WINDOWS server that PHP is running on. If you're looking to eject the CD on
the CLIENT, you're out of luck. To eject a CD on a linux based server,
maybe a simple 'exec('eject')' will work.

If you are on linux just shell out the linux eject command (which should eject the drive for you).

Greg is absolutely correct, Dan. When using an equal operand in an if()

are for setting variables, not evaluating a statement.

You should really look into learning in_array() for stuff like this.
Your logic seems weird to me, using != with a bunch of ||'s, is it
possible you need to those together?
{
$state[$field] = badstate; //then
}
}//end check
}
if(@sizeof($state) 0) //check size of array and display error message
I can't think of a good reason to suppress an error coming from
sizeof(). It will return zero for anything that is unset. You might
switch to count(), it's one character less to type than sizeof() and
much more common in other programming languages.

Looks like you just need to do some logic debugging to get things
wired up how you want.
Try adding this to the top of your script so the post action shows you
more info:
if( isset( $_POST['submit'] ) )
{
echo 'pre';
print_r( $_POST );
echo '/pre';
}

That's true as well, Jim but the OP included the include file code
at the foot of the message, and it's valid (a simple echo statement).
Dan, try adding this to the top of your code:
ini_set('error_reporting',E_ALL);
If it outputs any errors for you, then you'll know what's up. Also, you
don't need a space in your include command. Just type it out as if it were
a function: include('complete_save.php');

[PHP] Re: Form Validation Issues
Having a giant conditional statement such as the one you have posted is a
real problem for many different reasons. Below is a simple states class that
allows you to test for a state using a couple of different checks (such as
making both comparables lower or upper case). One major issue with the code
block you posted (which may or may not be a problem on your end, it could be
the email software), but these two are not comparable:
code
$v = New Hampshire;
$x = New
Hampshire;
if ($v === $x) {
echo(pre$v is exactly equal to $x/pre);
} elseif ($v == $x) {
echo(pre$v is loosely equal to $x/pre);
} else {
echo(pre$v is not exactly equal to $x/pre);
}
/code
This will produce: New Hampshire is not exactly equal to New
Hampshire
A better way to test a conditional (whether complex and/or lengthy) is to
wrap it in either a function, or a class method, like so:
code
?php
class States {
var $suggest = null;
var $states = Array(

[PHP] Form Processing Question - Empty Fields
I have a script to process the post from a form. The form is used to upload photos and has fields for the filename, alt text, caption and a checkbox to indicate if this photo is the main page image rotation. I wanted to build a general routine to build the form to allow for a varying number of photos to upload. I use main_image[] for the various checkboxes for each photo. I see that the checkbox is *not* set, I get nothing back, and if the second photo is checked (and the first not checked), I get main_image[0] = 'on'. And I see this happens for the caption[] array as well. This seems to me to be pretty ugly. Am I understanding this properly? Do I really have to use main_image1, main_image2 Thanks Stephen

Dan, try adding this to the top of your code:
ini_set('error_reporting',E_ALL);
If it outputs any errors for you, then you'll know what's up. Also, you
don't need a space in your include command. Just type it out as if it were
a function: include('complete_save.php');
but include is not a function. it is a Control Structure
http://us2.php.net/manual/en/language.control-structures.php
imo, the op should not use parentheses when calling it
Look here
http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.include.php
out of all the examples, only one of them shows include being called with
parentheses.
The one that does use the parentheses is an example of when not to use
parentheses.

Re: [PHP] zend framework
I've been experimenting with it for a new site revision at the company I work at. I have to agree, it's feels heavy, almost bloated. Mind you, I've only used a small fraction of the framework -- namely the Zend_Db, Zend_Config and Zend_Controller portions. The lack of Javascript seems like a curious omission, but perhaps that's not the point of ZF. I've been using CakePHP for another site, and it feels very efficient and easy to use. Javascript/AJAX helpers are all integrated too. Perhaps this is contributing to my somewhat negative view on ZF? I still intend to try out ZF a bit more to give it a fair shot, but after using CakePHP, I'm not so sure for how long... -- Aaron Gould Greg Donald wrote: Has anyone looked at the Zend Framework lately? http://framework.zend.com/manual I've been playing with a few parts of it off and on the past couple of days.

At any rate, we're still talking hammers ;) The point of my comment is that there's a gray area between approaching a problem as a nail and using another tool.

[PHP] Re: problems in WHERE statment
Change the single quote to a double quote: code $query = SELECT * FROM `job listing` WHERE open = '$today' LIMIT 0 , 30 ; /code This tells the PHP string parser to replace all declared, in-scope variables that are detected in a string with the value of the variable (as a toString() method, so a reference would not pass in the actual data, it would print something like Resource id #3). When you use single-quotes, you are telling the parser to keep it's hands off the string, and use as-is. Example: code var $a = 'test'; var $b = 'test2'; var $c = '$a$b'; var $d = $a$b; var $e = $a.$b; /code $e is equivalent to $d, where c would print literally $a$b, since you told the parser using the single quotes to leave the string alone. Likewise, var $f = $a.-$b$c-.'$e'; would print test-test2$a$b-$e; -- Jared Farrish Intermediate Web Developer Denton, Tx Abraham Maslow: If the only tool you have is a hammer, you tend to see every problem as a nail. $$

Let¹s say there¹s a database on X:\Transfer\test.dbf If I use: $db = dbase_open(³X:\Transfer\test.dbf², 0); It is not able to open the database. The X: Drive is a network drive. Any clues on how to make this happen? Thanks. ~~~ Rahul Sitaram Johari CEO, Twenty Four Seventy Nine Inc. W: http://www.rahulsjohari.com E: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ³I morti non sono piu soli ...

Well, Full Permissions (Full Control, including read write) have been given to the Machine on which the Apache Web Server is setup. Not sure if anything else needs to be done!

Other than permissions, you might be referencing the folder by the local network mapping drive initial, instead of the actual path: X:\\offsite\db\test.dbf == \\compname-x\offsite\db\test.dbf Generally, I like using the computer name and not a mapping. I find this name-based address through the 'My Network Places' folder. I'm not much of a windows networking person, but this might be the problem. Results may vary, but in windows, I think the mappings are by machine only, as mappings (I assume) are local aliases, and must be set or shared among groups of machines to be known. It's probably a permissions thing, though.

Oh yeah, and tijnema has a good point: \\compname-x\\offsite\\db\\test.dbf Btw, what does top post mean?

Didn't help. Tried X:\\Transfer\\test.dbf Still can't access the file. On 5/23/07 3:11 PM, Tijnema [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: The \ is an escape token, and you should use \\ instead.

Re: [PHP] RE: Cannot access file on Network Drive (Windows 2003)
Tried that too. Used \\Servername\sharename\test.dbf Also used additional backslashes for the escape issue: Servername\\sharename\\test.dbf Still doesn't work! I'm not getting a permissions related issue and I'm doubting it is a permissions issue. I have Full Control given to the system all this is on.

Try to simply include() and var_dump() or something. Start from just checking you can access the file first (I'd even start with a test.txtfile), before you inflate the db... Let us know what the error is exactly, as well. What happens? Error? Warning? Blank page? What tells you the script doesn't work?

PHP has long since spawned into something uncontrollable. Compare the number of functions (and its aliases) to eg Ruby. The string functions in particular are absolutely bloated, eg ltrim, trim rtrim - WTF. Why not just have trim() and have the option of specifying whether left/right/both? The same goes for the case-sensitive and case-insensitive versions of functions. -- Crayon -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
