[PHP] [php] socket connection problem
Hi,
I am trying to connect to specific server using but I have the below error
messagr. Whta could be the problem?
$fp = fsockopen($ip,$port, $errno, $errstr, $timeout);
fwrite($fp,$LRG);
//return $errstr ($errno);
if (!$fp) {
echo $errstr ($errno); //$errstr ($errno)br /\n;
}
*A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly
respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because
connected host has failed to respond. (10060)*
Re: [PHP] Re: PHP list posting confirmation for izod...@gmail.com
I need to establish connection to the server first, send in my login
packet and before reading the server response.
The same error when I also use the below function:
$fp = stream_socket_client($con:$ip:$port, $errno, $errstr, $timeout);
if (!$fp) {
echo $errstr ($errno); //$errstr ($errno)br /\n;
}

I think you need to use fread not fwrite.

[PHP] PHP ping and exec() hangs apache
Hi, I stuck with strange error. I have following code: ? echo 'BEFORE'; echo exec(ping -c1 -w1 1.1.25.38); echo 'AFTER'; ? Address doesn't exist. When execute script from command line everything works fine. But when I go to the file by Firefox it hangs out and apache need to be restart. This is a Virtual Server with PHP Version 5.2.6-pl222-gentoo. When address exists it works fine. Only problem is when it doesn't respond and apache hangs. I copy file to apache at my local apache and everything works fine. My apache is with Version 5.3.0alpha3-dev at windows XP. At old server with php4 everything works fine. I suspect that something wrong is with apache configuration but I don't know it for sure and couldn't find it.

Re: [PHP] PHP scalability problem
Have a look at APC. APC is a bytecode cache, that stores bytecode generated of your PHP scripts, so that your PHP code don't need be parsed every time the script is invoked. http://pecl.php.net/package/apc I was able to increase the performance of my PHP scripts dramatically. Greetings from Germany Marc tRace DOliveira wrote: What I am trying to achieve is to have the server do less processing. Like I said PHP is a server side scripting language and each time a request is made a process is spawned and processes are heavy weight as compared to a thread which is a light weight process. So I want to take away much processing away from the server and have the client do it instead. Because if many requests are made the server will eventually go down because it will over the server.I am not trying to get away from PHP but I am trying to solve the problem of scalability Thank you, Leonard D'Oliveira -- Synchronize and share your files over the web for free http://bithub.net/ My Twitter feed http://twitter.com/MarcSteinert -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] getting file location
I have made a CMS with editing files. When I display the file name it shows something like ../subdir/filename.php How can I display the actual filename that's on the web: like http://localhost/subdir/filename.php or even better if it is possible: http://domainname/subdir/filename.php ?

What's in $con? I'm guessing tcp in which case the first parameter
to stream_socket_client is wrong. See the manual for details:

[PHP] Facelets for PHP
Hi all, It is very likely that there is already a framework out there somewhere that does this, and that my searches are just too primitive to find it. Please bear with me. I would like to structure a site where every page is written in pure XHTML. In addition to the standard XHTML tag validation, I would like to reference a tag library that allows custom components to be added to a page. For instance: form h1Input here/h1 myns:suggestionInputText / /form I would then like to use PHP to translate this into XHTML that can be sent as an HTTP response. Moreover, I would like to be able to define custom components using XHTML pages. The concept comes from Java Facelets. The main point here is that PHP generates a minimal amount of XHTML/JavaScript for each component, while the pieces are put together by running a PHP program against a pure XHTML file. Is there already a framework within PHP to do this, or would it require custom development? Certainly the possibly implementations are endless, and something like XSLT would be a natural step towards one. I am, however, holding out some hope that a framework already exists, and that I won't need to worry about this. Thank you, David
Re: [PHP] continue working after finishing up with the http client
2009/5/27 Tom Worster f...@thefsb.org: without getting into whether or not this cache design makes sense, my question in this example is: what options are there for ending the http transition and then continuing on to do the cache update work? You either continue processing then-and-there (exec(), or whatever) or you put the job in queue to be dealt with at your leisure. The queue is the better solution if you're concerned about processor load, as you can prioritise it. The exec() is simpler to implement. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Facelets for PHP
Hi David, I know at least one framework that can do it. It's called Xaja: http://www.thecodingmachine.com/ext/xaja/doc/ In fact, it is doing much more than just providing facelets since its main purpose is to provide reverse ajax features. It already supports a number of custom tags, and especially, it provides a wrapping of the ExtJS Javascript library. You can have a look at the doc here: http://www.thecodingmachine.com/ext/xaja/doc/widgets/about_widgets.html The technique to write additional components still lacks documentation but if you have a look at the code, it is not that difficult. And I can provide some help. I'm sure there must be other frameworks around providing custom tags. Any one know another one on the list? Regards, David.

The input XML document and the XSL stylesheet must both be valid XML, but the output can be just about anything you want. You could have an XML table definition and use XSL to translate that structure into a valid SQL statements using that table in a specific SQL vendor dialect.

I do not need all the heavy baggage that come with them. I have looked at them, played with them some years back even and never liked them. What I am looking for is something simple that can be used on one page and that, at the most will give me a final page summarizing the choices that have been made in several other pages and then totaling and sending the results to the client. No shopping cart, no frills, no chills, just a confirmation of the order. Let's not forget that a b2b client has no time for all the pretty lace and candy wrap. He/She makes a quick choice, clicks on submit/do-it/or/confirm button and goes back to whipping his crew (in the kitchen, I suppose). I rather suspect that I will have to drum this little thing up by myself. To explain the procedure for client: 1. Click on navigation choice among categories 2. Pages loaded from db (may be several for each category) 3. Select quantity from input boxes (box is either empty or has number entered - this is stored somewhere) 4. Do the same for other pages... 5. When finished, click the finish/submit or whatever button. Go back to work. 6. Back-end tallies the selections adds them enters choices in db and send confirmation to client and to company to fill order. 7. Post-back-end is up to the company to fill and deliver.

All the unnecessary overhead is eliminated by first time registration and credit check with confirmed username and password. Otherwise, baby, you don't get nothing from this site.

Hi Bastien it is an image in the db.
Thanks
Terion
You can't display the image that way due to differeing headers in required
for html and images. Change your image code to call a page that specializes
in handling the images and the headers needed by changing to something like
this:
echo img src=\show_image.php?id=.$rows['id'].\\n;
where the show_image page calls the image out from the db and display it as
below
?php
require(conn.php);
//check to see if the id is passed
if(isset($_GET['id'])) {
$id=$_GET['id'];
//query the database to get the image and the filetype
$query = select bin_data, filetype from binary_data where id=$id;
$result = mysql_query($query);

You either continue processing then-and-there (exec(), or whatever) or you put the job in queue to be dealt with at your leisure. The queue is the better solution if you're concerned about processor load, as you can prioritise it. The exec() is simpler to implement. in the absence of a tidy way to close the http connection to the client in mid-php script, i think the queue will be my better bet. if i use mysql to implement the queue then i'll have some convenient options for handling it. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

You shouldn't really let *anybody* edit a page in such a way that they can insert their own PHP into a page. It's a security risk, and should really be avoided if you can at all help it, even if only for a single user. If you must let them enter simple PHP, have you thought instead of having them enter something else (like template-style commands) that can be checked and interpreted by your PHP code, e.g. they enter this: %%navbar%% and it's replaced by your navbar code. That way, anything your code does not recognise, is not able to cause any gaping security holes on your server.

Hi Bastien it is an image in the db.
Thanks
Terion
You can't display the image that way due to differeing headers in required
for html and images. Change your image code to call a page that specializes
in handling the images and the headers needed by changing to something like
this:
echo img src=\show_image.php?id=.$rows['id'].\\n;
where the show_image page calls the image out from the db and display it as
below
?php
require(conn.php);
//check to see if the id is passed
if(isset($_GET['id'])) {
$id=$_GET['id'];
//query the database to get the image and the filetype
$query = select bin_data, filetype from binary_data where id=$id;
$result = mysql_query($query);
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
{
$data = $row['bin_data'];
$type = $row['filetype'];
}
if ($type==pjpeg) $type = jpeg; //handle the ms jpeg alternate
format
Header( Content-type: $type);
echo $data;
}
?
That's only true if the image is stored in the database as a BLOB or
somesuch. If the database is just storing the filename of the image,
then it may just need the correct directory path prefix. Go into your
browser, right-click and check to see what path and filename the browser
expects to find the image file. My guess is it's not the same as where
the image actually is, and you need to add the path before opening the
?php tag. You can use either an absolute path (e.g. using a full
http://domain) or a relative one, and relative paths can include the ../
directory if you need to move up the directory tree.

As I mentioned, all these shopping carts are overbloated for the kind of application I am creating. I do not need all the heavy baggage that come with them. I have looked at them, played with them some years back even and never liked them. What I am looking for is something simple that can be used on one page and that, at the most will give me a final page summarizing the choices that have been made in several other pages and then totaling and sending the results to the client. No shopping cart, no frills, no chills, just a confirmation of the order. Let's not forget that a b2b client has no time for all the pretty lace and candy wrap. He/She makes a quick choice, clicks on submit/do-it/or/confirm button and goes back to whipping his crew (in the kitchen, I suppose). I rather suspect that I will have to drum this little thing up by myself. To explain the procedure for client: 1. Click on navigation choice among categories 2. Pages loaded from db (may be several for each category) 3. Select quantity from input boxes (box is either empty or has number entered - this is stored somewhere) 4. Do the same for other pages... 5. When finished, click the finish/submit or whatever button. Go back to work. 6. Back-end tallies the selections adds them enters choices in db and send confirmation to client and to company to fill order. 7. Post-back-end is up to the company to fill and deliver. Payment is taken care of by company processing credit card and then delivering goodies. That's about as simple as it can get. No shipping complications, no credit complications. Just click and go. All the unnecessary overhead is eliminated by first time registration and credit check with confirmed username and password. Otherwise, baby, you don't get nothing from this site. Public access and frills are not on the product pages unless we ever go that way in the future. Believe me, it works... we've done it before and were years ahead of everybody...until 9/11... blew us off because they blew away some of our clients and their clients as we... and then we had someone fresh meat nerds coding and they rather stumbled over their own heels in the programming, but that's another story.

Re: [PHP] Comparing strings (revisited)

This is why I originated a thread along these lines some time ago. I
sympathize with your pain, being a C programmer as well. Apparently, PHP
plays fast and loose with types when doing == comparisons. And empty()
has a really wild way of determining if something is empty (an integer
0 is empty?). Which is why I originally asked if strcmp() was the
preferred method of comparison for the list members.
In any case, strcmp() does what you want and is the safest way to
compare strings, which is what PHP passes around a lot (data comes out
of databases as strings, comes back from forms as strings, etc.). And
since most of the syntax and library functions of PHP are based on C
paradigms, I'm guessing that the PHP strcmp() function is a thin veneer
over the actual C function.
Thanks, Paul.
I have done some more experimenting, and have a better handle on what is going
on now, so
I don't think I will fall into any unexpected holes (apart from by being
careless!)
If you enter a value directly (eg. $a[0] = 000a; ) it tries to convert the
input to a
number, and rejects any input it cannot convert (such as 000a). However if the
value is
quoted it is stored internally as a string.
If the data is stored as elements of a string, and is exploded into an array no
attempt is
made to interpret them, and they are stored as strings in their original form.
They appear
to retain this form, but if they are compared with some other value the two
values are
adjusted until they are of the same type, and then they are compared. The
results often
seem absurd at first glance. For example 000A 2 10, but A . I think
the reason
for this is that if the values can be treated as numbers they are compared
directly, but
otherwise the one with less characters is right padded with spaces, and then
there are
compared as strings. Thus '000A' '2 ', and 'A ' ''.
If the values are compared as strings (using strcmp or SORT_STRING) the results
are
entirely logical if all the strings are of the same length. If the strings are
of
different lengths the shorter one is again right padded (probably with spaces)
and then
the two are compared.
These points are illustrated in the following test programs.
?php
// Test one data:
$a[] = 2000;$a[] = 20e2;$a[] = 2.e3;$a[] = 2.E3;
$a[] = 2.000e3; $a[] = 4000/2; $a[] = 4.0e3/2.0; $a[] =
'20E2';
$a[] = ;$a[] = ''; $a[] = '000A'; // $a[] = 000A;

$i = 0; $n = count ($a);
while ($i $n)
{

$j = 0; while ($j $n)
{
if (($i != $j) ($a[$i] == $a[$j])) { echo $a[$j].',
'; }
++$j;
}
++$i; echo '/p';
}
// Test two data:

'; }

[PHP] PDO - Nested selects allowed?
For my photography website, I have a photo gallery, and the user first
sees a list of categories. They can click down to see thumbnails, and
again to see individual photographs.
I want to enhance this to, with the category listing, show the first
thumbnail.
I have a category table, a photo table and the photos and thumbnails are
files.
The photo table has a category_id column and a filename column.
Now, I Googled a bit, and it is not clear that
i) Select the categories
ii) Loop through the result set
iii) Within the loop select the filename will work
Does the select within the loop clobber the result set of the category
selection?
I saw suggestions to fetch the entire result set into a PHP array, or to use
|$dbh-setAttribute(PDO::MYSQL_ATTR_USE_BUFFERED_QUERY, true);
The queries I have created are:
$categoryquery = 'SELECT c.category_id, c.category_name,
c.category_description,
COUNT(photo_id) FROM gallery_category as c LEFT JOIN
gallery_photos
as p ON p.photo_category = c.category_id GROUP BY
c.category_id
ORDER BY c.category_order';
$catthumbquery = 'SELECT photo_filename FROM gallery_photos WHERE
photo_category=:cid
ORDER BY photo_order LIMIT 1';
and the PHP code I have drafted is:
try {
$stmt = $dbh-prepare($categoryquery);
$stmt-execute();
while ($row = $stmt-fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC)) {
$id = $row['category_id'];
$name= $row['category_name'];
$description = $row['category_description'];
$count = $row['COUNT(photo_id)'];
$stmt2 = $dbh-prepare($catthumbquery);
$stmt2-bindParam(':cid', $id, PDO::PARAM_STR);
$stmt2-execute();
$result_array[] = \t\tdiv class=\categoryname\\n .
\t\t\ta href=\viewgallery.php?cid= . $id . \ .
$name . /a ($count)\n\t\t/div\n \t\tdiv
class=\categorydescription\ .
\n\t\t\t$description\n\t\t/div;
}
}
catch (PDOException $e) {
echo Building category list failed: . $e-getMessage();
}
Thanks to those who can help!
