Re: [PHP] APC - Upload progress problem. apc

2009-09-15 Thread Phred White

Folks:
Thanks for all your help and suggestions.

Miracle of miracles I am now getting a response,so I can start some  
level of debugging.


I am not sure exactly what has been going on. I NEVER got a response,  
then I did - when I tried uploading some different files. It seems  
that larger files always give a negative response for me. Now I am  
thinking that it has been a timing issue. My ajax stuff doesn't repeat  
yet, so there is currently only one request. It seems that if the file  
is a little too large, the first response is always false, that may be  
the case for very small files too. I finally just picked a file that  
was the right size.


Since I could never verify that APC was responding, it didn't occur to  
me to go ahead and iron out the ajax stuff.


Anyway now I can move forward.

Thanks all for all your suggestions, sorry this ends up being such a  
stupid conclusion.

Andrea:

I have in my php.ini:

apc.rfc1867 = On
apc.rfc1867_freq = 10K

The apc.php diagnostic/report page says it is on. It just returns  
false. I

will look at your zip file and see if something jumps out.



what about your other apc.rfc1867 settings?

are you posting the correct field to the server to tell apc to start
tracking, and also are you grabbing the correct value when trying to
determine the status in your progress tracking script?

by default, your form needs an input like,

input type=hidden name=APC_UPLOAD_PROGRESS
  id=progress_key  value=?php echo $id?/


then in the progress checking script you will need something like,

?php
if(isset($_GET['progress_key'])) {

 $status = apc_fetch('upload_'.$_GET['progress_key']);
 echo $status['current']/$status['total']*100;

}
?


the names of these variables depend upon apc.rfc1867_name
and apc.rfc1867_prefix respectively.  take a look at this article,  
it was

really helpful,

http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/library/os-php-v525/

also, to get going fast, dont bother w/ the progress script yet.   
just focus

on getting apc to start tracking the progress.  you can use the stock
apc.php script from the distro and upload a large file; this will  
give you

time to check in apc.php.

To start with I am not a recruiter just looking for talented PHP
developers to join my team.

Secondly I am trying to understand why you (Daevid) think that it is
acceptable to try and tarnish the name of my company when you don't even
know us or the work that we produce. One wonders why, if you are so
disinterested in working with us, you bothered to reply at all. As
you've already made up your mind that Cyber-Duck is not a great company
to work for this seems to be an awfully large waste of your time. 

I'm not going to spend hours going into the finer details of our
business strategy with someone whose sole purpose in answering my
initial email is to defame both myself and the company I work for.
Cyber-Duck has an exemplary track record, backed up by a host of digital
media awards and satisfied clients, none of whom have ever been put off
by the name of the company or the highly proficient flash animations on
our website. 

Thanks for the advice on buzzwords- obviously all non net-savvy
potential clients want to spend hours trying to digest page after page
of what, to them, are incomprehensible pseudonyms and abbreviations.

Hi Andres,

When asking this kind of question, it would be very helpful if you
would tell us *which* function raised this error.

My first thought is that you tried to call a function which was
compiled in to the CLI version but not the CGI. What does phpinfo()

[PHP] moving to quad core

I have an application developed that uses alot of PHP. Currently, it is 
running on a Ubuntu 8.04 , single core CPU host.  We are moving to a 
quad core host for this application.


Is there anything special that I need to do to configure PHP to run on a 
quad core host? I noticed that my current single core system has PHP 
configured with Thread Safety disabled (as reported from phpinfo()).  
Does that need to be enabled to run in a multi-core environment?


Any other suggestions for configuring PHP for multi-core use?

interesting question.

i never paid any attention to the possibility of needing to make config
changes when moving from single to multi-core computers. i'm using apxs2 and
just assumed that there's no threading within each httpd process. in other
words, i assumed it's up to the os' scheduler to make something of the
hardware.

i'm curious to hear more on the topic.

Re: [PHP] Problem with date

Adding the number of seconds in a day could fall in the same day due
to daylight saving time, a more reliable way of adding one day (or a

$tomorrow  = mktime(0, 0, 0, date(m)  , date(d)+1, date(Y));

Then use date() with $tomorrow to format it.

(Taken from example #3 here:

strtotime would be a neater way of solving the problem...

ie (untested):

$n = 0;
while ($n = 9)
{
$date = d.$n;
$$date = date(Y-m-d, strtotime(+ $n days)
$n++;
}

If you are just enquiring about the maths though, I'm not sure!

In regards to thread-safe compilations of PHP, if you don't absolutely
know you need it, you don't need it.

Utilizing a multiple CPU server setup with PHP depends on how you're
using PHP.  If you're using FastCGI with a process pool, the number of
PHP processes is going to determine how many CPUs PHP uses, obviously
enough.  On a quad core machine, 2 FastCGI children in the pool are
only ever going to use 2 cores, while 4 processes has a higher
likelihood of utilizing the entire set of CPUs.  However, setting your
child process number too low can seriously impede your performance, so
there's some experimentation necessary to determine what's best for
your particular scenario, based on usage, server power, script
profiling, etc. but a good number to start with is (1.5 * # of logical
processors).

All of this necessarily changes if you're using Apache, of course.
Under the classic pre-fork model, Apache forks a new process to handle
a request every time the server is hit.  So, to utilize four cores,
Apache would have to serve four pages simultaneously, forking four
child processes.  Depending on your traffic and page generation time,
the amount of child Apache processes can pretty easily head up into
the hundreds, unless of course you have a lower MaxChildren set (which
I personally would recommend against because of Apache's huge glaring
vulnerability to SlowLoris).  Under the worker model, Apache forks up
to X processes, and each process handles a configurable amount of
requests before dying, so like FastCGI, you'd have to configure the
number of children to be run, although it's recommended (I hear, I'm
not too very familiar with Apache) to use a much higher number than
the amount of cores, several dozen perhaps.  Like I said, I'm not too
familiar with Apache, so I'd do some research and experimentation with
the number of child workers to give Apache.

I hope this helps :)

[PHP] php/mysql Query Question.

2009-09-15 Thread admin
Before most of you go on a rampage of how to please read below...

As most of you already know when using MySQL from the shell you can write your 
queries in html format in an out file.

Example:   shellmysql -uyourmom -plovesme --html
This now will return all results in an html format from all queries.

Now I could “tee” this to a file and save the results returned if I so choose 
to save the result of the display .

Let’s say I want to be lazy and write a php MySQL query to do the same so that 
any result I queried for would return the html results in a table without 
actually writing the table tags in the results.

Is there a mysql_connect or select_db or mysql_query tag option to do that 
since mysql can display it from the shell?

Example:   shellmysql -uyourmom -plovesme --html
This now will return all results in an html format from all queries.

Now I could “tee” this to a file and save the results returned if I so choose 
to save the result of the display .

Let’s say I want to be lazy and write a php MySQL query to do the same so that 
any result I queried for would return the html results in a table without 
actually writing the table tags in the results.

Is there a mysql_connect or select_db or mysql_query tag option to do that 
since mysql can display it from the shell?


echo Select * from my_table | mysql --html -ufoo -pfee database_name

However, this allows for your database password to be visible in the 
process list for a brief moment of time. You might be better served by 
finer grained process control where you can check the output and provide 
input as needed. Or a simple expect script might suffice.


Cheers,
Rob.

[PHP] best function to use ~ file_get_contents or ?

2009-09-15 Thread CRM
Hi All,
Not sure of the best approach, need your feedback. I have 4 images on a
website. These are used in navigation. When I load a reference webpage on my
local machine the local page calls 4 images from an external website, each
image will be on a different domain.

What I want to see is if the navigation images/buttons can be loaded/displayed
in my browser. If they can, then I will display the images on my local page.
If the images cannot be loaded, then this indicates some connection issue and
the result will be some text like 'Site Offline'. So just by glancing at my
local machine reference page I can tell if one or more of the different sites
is or is not available.

So what is the best function to use?

if ( @file_get_contents( DOMAIN_PATH . images/navigation/nav_globalissa.png 
)):

or ???

Please also cc i...@globalissa.com

Thanks for any helpful suggestions.

Sincerely,

 Hi,
 
  It is good to hear that they teach PHP in kindergarden these days.
 
 I've heard it's soon to be part of the national curriculum here in the UK.
