[PHP] Need Idea to make Backup
Hello, my idea is to make a backup of some paths of my laptop via PHP. I like to use a MySQL Datebase to trace which file was uploaded from which path and so on. Also it should be uses to look up it is nessasery to backup this file because it was changed since last time or not. All this files should be uploaded to the SERVER in a special folder where this files run to a tape backup machine. I hope some one can give me some ideas for this.

[PHP] Detecting a BOM
Hi, is there any way to detect BOM in a file? I'm writing a parser which outputs a number line if there's an error in it and its content. Every time it parser a file saved in UTF-8 with BOM it outputs those three magic letters. Can I pre-check for it and skip it? Or convert somehow? Greetings, Leszek Stachowski
[PHP] Re: [PHP-DEV] any solution about array_walk with pass-by-reference UseData?
Online document say's
Note: Please note that this function only checks one dimension of a
n-dimensional array. Of course you can check deeper dimensions by
using, for example, array_udiff_uassoc($array1[0], $array2[0],
data_compare_func, key_compare_func);.
It's not my needed
My need is
$disable_full=array(a,b,c);
$disable_start=array(_,HTTP);
$check_array=array(array(http=a),a=dabdd);
I want to unset all element's key full match in $disable_full and
start with string in $disable_start array;
2010/1/13 Joey Smith j...@joeysmith.com:
This might be better served by taking it to php-general, because I don't
think you need to pin your question so hard to the behaviour of
array_walk(). Here's a quick example of (if I understood your question
correctly) how you might solve it using array_udiff_uassoc and 5.3's new
'closure' syntax (not required for this, but I do so enjoy using them!)
?php
$return=array();
$disable_full=array('a','b','c');
$disable_start=array('_','!','HTTP'/*,'ddd','ddd','ddd','ddd','ddd'*/);
$check_array=array(a=1,_POST='c',HTTP=f,ddd=array('fefe'));
function buildFilter($keys, $starts_with) {
return function ($a, $b) use ($keys, $starts_with) {
if (in_array($a, $keys)) return 0;
foreach($starts_with as $value) if (strpos($a, $value)===0) return 0;
return 1;
};
}
$foo = buildFilter($disable_full, $disable_start);
var_dump(array_udiff_uassoc($check_array, $disable_full, $disable_start,
function () { return 0; }, $foo));

Sorry. Forgot to include this.
function dirList ($directory)
{
// create an array to hold directory list
$results = array();
// create a handler for the directory
$handler = opendir($directory);
// keep going until all files in directory have been read
while ($file = readdir($handler)) {
// if $file isn't this directory or its parent,
// add it to the results array
if ($file != '.' $file != '..')
$results[] = $file;
}
// tidy up: close the handler
closedir($handler);
// done!
return $results;
}
If you're dealing with 1 directory you can use it to read all files
in it to an array.
Kind regards
Warren
This is an interesting approach. Following is what I came up with to
scan a directory and store the filenames into an array ... very
similar to your example:
$listDir = array();
$dir = ../mounts/wd/IDT/IDT/;
if($handler = opendir($dir)) {
while (($sub = readdir($handler)) !== FALSE) {
if ($sub != . $sub != .. $sub !=
Thumb.db) {
if(is_file($dir./.$sub)) {
$listDir[] = $sub;
}elseif(is_dir($dir./.$sub)){
$listDir[$sub] = $this-
ReadFolderDirectory($dir./.$sub);
}
}
}
closedir($handler);
}
and this is what I'm trying to implement in order to store the array
into a mysql table ..
$db = mysql_connect(localhost,usr,pwd);
mysql_select_db(db,$db);
$colors=serialize($listDir); //takes the data from a post
operation...
$sql=INSERT INTO recordings (ID, RECORDING, ADDED)
VALUES('','$colors','');
$result = mysql_query($sql) or die (mysql_error());
I'm not sure if this the best or fastest approach ... but it's running
in the background as I write this (I should have tested on a smaller
folder). The folder I'm scanning has literally over 80,000 files ...
so it's taking LOOONG!!

The UTF-8 byte order mark is represented by the hexadecimal character
sequence EF BB BF. You can use something like this to detect a BOM:
if (substr($source, 0, 3) == pack('CCC', 0xEF, 0xBB, 0xBF)) {

Re: [PHP] header(Location:...) fails

Here is a snippet of code that is going to be the death of me:
// Create a new project
$projectcode = strtoupper(addslashes($_POST['projectcode'])); // project
code
// Make sure the project code is unique
if (!$existingproject = mysql_query(select * from pb_versions where
projectcode like '.strtoupper($projectcode).')) {

}
$numprojects = mysql_num_rows($existingproject);
if ($numprojects 0) {
$pid = mysql_result($existingproject,0,versionID);
header(Location:managebudget.php?e=1pid=$pid);
}
Now, even if $numprojects is 1, 2, 3, etc., the header() command is not
executed. Strangely, a header(Location) command later on in the script
*is* executed. I've output the value of $numprojects, so I know that it's
greater than 0, so the command
header(Location:managebudget.php?e=1pid=$pid); *should* be executed...
but it isn't. (Weirdly, if I put a die() command *after* this header()
command, it works... but it seems pathologically inelegant to do so.)
There's nothing in wrong in putting a die command after the
header(Location). In fact, it is common. The header() command by
itself don't imply in the send of the request. You can have many
header() commands in sequence, and the header will be sent only in the
end of the process.
Cheers,
Bruno.

this out?

Basic HTTP authentication is not using LDAP. You can use PHP_AUTH_USER
and PHP_AUTH_PW to verify that the credentials are correct (they'll be
populated with whatever the user entered). Exactly how you do that is
up to you (hard code it, look in a database, LDAP, etc.). You then
send the 401 response code along with WWW-Authenticate if the
credentials aren't satisfactory.

I'll do some more digging. Would the LDAP authentication be happening from
apache or from within PHP? The user only sees a username and password dialog.
If they hit cancel, they get the Access denied which I was assuming was
from this bit of code.
Mike
if it's ldap then most likely you should check the sites apache config
file (apache-dir/sites-available) or .htaccess for something like..
Location /
AuthType Basic
AuthName ***
AuthBasicProvider ldap

make it a habit to always include and exit(); call after your final

To be honest, I am the lead, and I could pull rank and be done with the discussion, however I don't like to be that way. I would rather do the right thing. If my way of thinking is old-school (I've been coding since PHP/FI), and what he says is the newfangled proper PHP/Zend way, then I'd rather adopt that, despite how icky it makes me feel to leave an unclosed ?php just dangling and alone, all sad-like. In my mind, nobody gets left behind! :) Is there ANY side-effects to leaving the end ? off? Is it any more work for the compiler? And yes I know computers are hella-fast and all that, but I come from the gaming industry where squeeking out an extra FPS matters, and shaving off 0.01s per row of data in a table matters if you have more than 100 rows. A 1 second wait IS noticeable and a 10 second is even moreso -- just try to talk for 10 seconds straight without a pause. Or sit there and stare at a screen for 10 seconds! If the main argument is that it's to prevent white-space after the code, then most modern editors that I'm aware of will automatically trim white-space (or have a setting to do so). Plus this is ONLY a factor when you're trying to output a header and things like that. In 90% of your code, you don't deal with that. It's also obvious enough when you have an extra character/space because PHP pukes on the screen and TELLS you something about blah blah sent before header output or something to that effect. What do you guys all do? i negate the ? and treat ? purely as an instruction to tell php to stop parsing (because that's what it is) thus for 100% php files you'll find no ? in my code; however when it's an html page and esacping in and out of parser mode is required then obviously I'll use ? regards sorry for the late reply -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] php and XML BibTeX
Hi - Currently on my web site, book and article references are just stored in the database. While it works, I actually would like to move that out of the database and to an XML file, the reason being is that if/when I need to add fields etc. to the referenced sources, it's a lot easier to just edit a text file than modify database and recode my form interface for modifying the database. Also, there's an existing XML format for bibTeX and there already are tools to go from that to real bibTex, which I may need to do at some point. What I'm hoping is that already exists some php classes / functions for dealing with the XML bibTeX but I haven't found them. Anyone know of any? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

I was under the assumption that authentication was done
through an LDAP. How do I find out which LDAP server is
PHP/Apache using? It might be right in front of my face in
the apache config or php.ini, but I can't seem to find it.
I'm not sure what it'd be called in those config files. There
is no htaccess or htpasswd files that I could find on the
server. Below is the code that I believe does the authentication.
if (!isset($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'])) {
header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm=***');
header('HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized');
echo 'Access denied';
exit;
}
else
If anyone can point me right direction, that'd be great.

Basic HTTP authentication is not using LDAP. You can use
PHP_AUTH_USER
and PHP_AUTH_PW to verify that the credentials are correct
(they'll be
populated with whatever the user entered). Exactly how you
do that is
up to you (hard code it, look in a database, LDAP, etc.). You then
send the 401 response code along with WWW-Authenticate if the
credentials aren't satisfactory.

Just make your life easy and create a redirect() function that generates
the header instruction, makes a relative URL into an absolute URL and
does the exit call. Then you just need to do:
redirect( 'target.php' );
So much simpler :)

Warren,
I tried using your code and it definitely is very efficient fast;
however I'm running into a small problem and I'm not sure how to correct it.
I'm getting the array with filenames from the folder I'm searching in PLUS
all the root folders of the machine as well.
This is the code I'm using (note that I'm just echoing the array right
now; I'll move to inserting data into mySQL after):
function dirList ($directory) {
$results = array();
$handler = opendir($directory);
while ($file = readdir($handler)) {
if ($file != '.' $file != '..')
$results[] = $file;
}
closedir($handler);
return $results;
}
$origin = /Library/WebServer/Documents/folder1/folder2/images/;
#load file listing into an array
$shell = shell_exec(du $origin);
$array = array_reverse(explode(\n,$shell));
$contIdArr = array();
$newArr = array();
foreach($array as $elem){
$newDir = ;
$pathArray = explode(/, $elem);
$nodeDepth = count($pathArray);
for($count=1; $count$nodeDepth; $count++){
$newDir = $newDir.$pathArray[$count].'/';
}
$newArr[] = '/'.$newDir;
}
sort($newArr);
foreach($newArr as $dir){
$pathArray = explode(/, $dir);
$fileListArr = dirList($dir);
foreach($fileListArr as $file){
echo $file.BR;
//Insert file($file) and current dir/path($dir) into db
}
}
As an output ... i get a list of all the files in the images folder
preceeded by the all the list of root folders on my machine!! How do I
eliminate the list of root folders?
Nevermind, I was looking at the wrong output. I got it!! I've got all my
filenames in my $fileListArr[] array!!
Now I just to get the values in a mySQL table.

consider stacking the insert statements in sql to allow for a certain
number of inserts in one connect.
insert into my_table (field1, field2...fieldn)
values('field1','field2'...fieldn),('field1','field2'...fieldn),('field1','field2'...fieldn),('field1','field2'...fieldn)...
keep to something like 100 to avoid buffer overflows and it should
make the inserts much faster
