[PHP] Upload large 100MB of PDFS to MySQL using PHP, Is my settings ok?
Guys, I need help on the php and mysql configurations. I want to be able to upload 100MB to MySQL using PHP. On PHP, php.ini is as follows: max_execution_time = 100; Maximum execution time of each script, in seconds max_input_time = 100; Maximum amount of time each script may spend parsing request data memory_limit = 100M ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume (8MB) post_max_size = 100M upload_max_filesize = 100M On MySQL, my.cnf: key_buffer = 500M max_allowed_packet = 5M table_cache = 256 sort_buffer_size = 1M read_buffer_size = 1M read_rnd_buffer_size = 4M myisam_sort_buffer_size = 128M thread_cache_size = 16 query_cache_size= 64M The mysql field is set to LONGBLOB What configurations could I alter more? Because right now, it is just uploading around 30mb or something? And, no error. Maybe, something is wrong on the config? -- Louie Miranda (lmira...@gmail.com) http://www.louiemiranda.net Quality Web Hosting - www.axishift.com Pinoy Web Hosting, Web Hosting Philippines
[PHP] php5-mhash disabled...
I just saw that mhash is disabled in the spec file for php5 if SUSE version is 11.0 or higher. Simple question, does it do any harm? I know it's been deprecated in favor for hash, but I have quite a few apps using mhash still, so if it doesn't do any harm I thought I'd continue using it until all apps has been remade for hash. I really didn't find any relevant info on it with a quick Google search, so I ask you fellows.

If there are a lot of books, like thousands, it might slow down things. I suppose I could live with ORDER BY title as that does not require another effort. Any thoughts or suggestions? Hi, Sounds like you need to use the GROUP BY functions of MySQL This SQL is probably wrong because I don't remember seeing your schema (and am too busy here to go looking!) SELECT LEFT(last_name, 1 ) as Letter, Count(bookID) as NumberOfBooks FROM books INNER JOIN tables that join them...

[PHP] Button id's - firefox and IE different ?
Hi all. I want to have several delete buttons with just one form, and depending on which button is pressed, one of several items is deleted. So I need multiple submit buttons for 1 form, each displaying the same text Delete to the user, but each with a different value so the PHP script can tell them apart. I've used this code for the buttons... centerbutton type=submit name=btid value=1Delete/center centerbutton type=submit name=btid value=2Delete/center centerbutton type=submit name=btid value=3Delete/center And it works just fine with firefox. But IE does not seem to pass the value back to the btid so when the script asks if $_POST['btid'] == 1 { } the value 1, 2, or 3 is not given back to PHP by IE. It is given back correctly by firefox and works fine. Any suggestions ? Thanks.
Re: [PHP] Button id's - firefox and IE different ?
Any suggestions ? Try this: input type=submit name=btid value=Delete / input type=submit name=btid value=Cancel / input type=submit name=btid value=Save / And then you can check the value of $_POST['btid'].

Re: [PHP] Button id's - firefox and IE different ?
I can do as you suggest below, but then the buttons are labelled Delete Cancel and Save to the user. The essential point is that they all need to say Delete. I know I can accomplish this by making multiple forms, each with its own button but for my purpose that's a pain is the ***. IE returns the text displayed in the button regardless of the btid value. It seems to just ignore it. Firefox returns the value assigned to btid as I intended regardless of the text in the button that the user sees. - Original Message - From: Richard Heyes rich...@php.net To: Angus Mann angusm...@pobox.com Cc: php-general@lists.php.net Sent: Thursday, April 02, 2009 8:17 PM Subject: Re: [PHP] Button id's - firefox and IE different ?

Another suggestion would be to use the Input tag as suggested by Richard, but rename the name value ie: input type=submit name=btid1 value=Delete / input type=submit name=btid2 value=Delete / input type=submit name=btid3 value=Delete / You can then use your PHP variable $_POST[btid1], $_POST[btid2] or $_POST[btid3], etc, to determine relevant actions. -Original Message- From: Angus Mann [mailto:angusm...@pobox.com] Sent: 02 April 2009 12:45 PM To: Richard Heyes Cc: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP] Button id's - firefox and IE different ?

All you need to do is write the stylesheet that takes format1 and converts it to format2.

Re: [PHP] [php] scheduled task in php
There's no need for third party software, windows has a scheduled task system. Make a scheduled task and for the application select the php executable (Maybe C:\PHP\bin\php.exe, or some such.). Once the wizard is complete select the checkbox that says Open the task when I click Finish. Now place the full path of your script after the executable in the field provided so it looks something like: C:\PHP\php.exe C:\Documents and Settings\Kyle\My Documents\scripts\MyCronPHPScript.php HTH, Kyle *Kyle Smith* UNIX/Linux Systems Administrator Inforonics, LLC Jan G.B. wrote: Or even with CRONw if via window is an indicator for the evil OS. http://cronw.sourceforge.net/ (I personally didn't test this software) bye 2009/4/2 Michel OLIVIER michel.oliv...@mc2i.fr: hi, with a cron and wget? 2009/4/2 Andrew Williams andrew4willi...@gmail.com: All, Please how can you run a timed php script file via window scheduled task. or how can u execute a php script on a a time interval for instance every 4minutes -- Best Wishes Andrew Williams -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] PHP LDAP over SSL problems
Hello, I have been working on this problem for some time now and I can't seem to resolve it. Everything I have found on google and php.net says I can connect to an LDAP server with SSL by setting TLS_REQCERT never in ldap.conf. I want to eliminate certs from the picture for now just to confirm I can make the connection which is why I have TLS_REQCERT never set. I added that setting to my ldap.conf and my test code now works from the command line but it does not work when I call it from a browser. Here is my test: ?php $ldaphost = ldaps://my.ldap.server; //ldap_set_option(NULL, LDAP_OPT_DEBUG_LEVEL, 7); // Connecting to LDAP $ldapconn = ldap_connect($ldaphost) or die(Could not connect to {$ldaphost}); ldap_set_option($ldapconn, LDAP_OPT_PROTOCOL_VERSION, 3); ldap_set_option($ldapconn, LDAP_OPT_REFERRALS, 0); echo var_dump(@ldap_bind($ldapconn, cn=Keithl, ou=Users, o=LH)); ? This returns true when called from the command line: [www]/www/doc/ktlwiki php ldap-test.php bool(true) But when I load the same code through a browser it fails. I'm using php 5.2.6, openldap 2.4.11 and openssl 0.9.8i on Solaris 10. I built everything from source, PHP has LDAP and SSL support compiled in. My openldap install is in /opt. Trussing the command line process and the apache process shows similar results: Command line: 26651: open(/opt/lib/libldap-2.4.so.2, O_RDONLY) = 3 26651: open(ldap-test.php, O_RDONLY) = 4 26651: resolvepath(/www/doc/INTRA/ktlwiki/ldap-test.php, /www/doc/INTRA/ktlwiki/ldap-test.php, 1024) = 36 26651: open(/opt/etc/openldap/ldap.conf, O_RDONLY) = 4 Apache process: 24656: open(/opt/lib/libldap-2.4.so.2, O_RDONLY) = 6 24818: open(/www/doc/INTRA/ktlwiki/ldap-test.php, O_RDONLY) = 45 24818: open(/opt/etc/openldap/ldap.conf, O_RDONLY) = 4 Any idea why the same code served by apache would ignore the TLS_REQCERT setting?!

[PHP] Java applet clearing session variables?
It seems that our java applet is clearing our php session variables. I have an html form that saves user information as session variables. These session variables are used to create folders, where uploaded files can be saved. I've tested my php script that uses the session variables to create a folder and then moves uploaded files to that folder with a traditional html upload form. However, when I use a java applet in place of the traditional html form the php script does not create the folder, and thus it obviously cannot move the uploaded files. I've tested the applet and it does successfully upload files to the server. When I printed the session array variable after using the applet, I noticed the session array was empty. Does anyone know why this the applet clears the session variables? Or how to stop/work around it so I can use the applet and the php script? Thanks, Dan

Re: [PHP] syntax woes
Hi all, For any one following this thread, here is how I worked around the apache/php/chown limitation. script snippet (and if any one has a more elegant style, please share as I am an amateur script kiddie). $path = /homes.$username; $chowncmd = /usr/bin/sudo /bin/chown ; mkdir($path); chmod($path, 0775); exec($chowncmd.$username. .$path); I modified /etc/sudoers; #Defaults requiretty - I added the comment. apache ALL = NOPASSWD: /bin/chown - added this line. - aurf On Apr 2, 2009, at 6:58 PM, Michael A.
