This newsgroup has been a mess for almost a year now.

One big problem is that the server only accepts a small number of connections, 
for just some mail clients, eg Thunderbird; but works for others.  My 
Thunderbird works flawlessly for numerous other newsgroups.


I've posted 2 or 3 bug reports, no response!

[PHP] Best editor?

2011-08-03 Thread Matty Sarro
Hey everyone,
I am a super newbie just beginning to learn PHP. Awhile ago, I had
used aptana for dabbling with php and was amazed to find out that it
had a built in php interpreter so I could do some minor testing
without having to upload everything to a web server, or have a web
server locally. Flash forward to now, and it looks like that
functionality doesn't exist anymore (at least not by default).

So, I'm curious what editors are out there? Are there any out there
which will let me test PHP files without having to upload everything
every time I edit it? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
-Matty

2011-08-03 Thread Florian Müller

I'm using PSPad since one year, and I'm very happy with it. 

With your description, I think it is the most simple way with it: Connect it 
with a webserver, and then you can edit all files right on the server, so if 
you save, they are live. 

PSPad is actually even a portable program, and there are lots of syntax 
highlighters, so this program is very nice!

 Let me clarify a bit... I don't own my own machine - I'm using my work
 computer. I can install an editor, but installing a full fledged
 server would be verboten (like WAMP). And while its not hard to set up
 a VM in virtualbox, I'd prefer not to if I don't have to. I know the
 functionality of testing inside the editor used to be there, I'd just
 like to see if I can find it again :)

I recommend Coda for Mac (about $100) as editor. And MAMP as a web server for

Maybe an adittional information: PSPad is completely freeware and portable. 

You can download it right here: http://pspad.en.softonic.com/

This would be the best idea if you can't run a local server, because if there 
is an editor with this functionality built in, he'd have to bring a little 
local server with it, and I really don't know an editor which is able to do 
that without an external software.

[PHP] Syntax Question

2011-08-03 Thread Gates, Jeff
I, too, am a super newbie. I have a beginning knowledge of being able to
read php and understand its syntax but I can¹t write it. This is a bit
complicated but here¹s my problem:

I want to create a variable in PHP that I can use to link to an image in our
museum's image website. We have done it with ColdFusion here but I need the
same thing for PHP because I¹m building a site using a php-based CMS called
Omeka.

In ColdFusion the variable is written:
cfset tmpImageDirectory = getToken(artwork.accessionNumber, 1, .)

Basically, it¹s saying find the image on our server by looking for its
accession number within the year directory. Since the first part of the
accession number is the year we got the artwork this variable is saying look
for the accession number in the year directory by first looking at the first
part of that accession number (the year), look in that year directory and
then use the entire accession number to find the image within that
directory.  An example of an accession number is 2011.15. That¹s saying that
artwork was the 15th artwork brought into our collection in 2011. On our
image server it will be found in a directory called 2011. (Am I making
sense?)

Then the Coldfusion call is:

a 
href=http://ids.si.edu/ids/dynamic?container.fullpageid=http://americanart
.si.edu/images/#tmpImageDirectory#/#artwork.accessionNumber#_1a.jpg (the
1a.jpg is simply the size image we want to call).

I need to be able to do the same thing with PHP but have no idea how.

More information: within my site I¹m housing the accession number in a mySQL
database. I¹ve gotten a bit of help on this already (but not enough, that¹s
why I¹m turning to you).

I was told I need to create two variables [('Dublin Core','Identifier') is
the name of the field that houses the accession number):

$accessionNumber =  item('Dublin Core','Identifier');
$tmpImageDirectory = strtok($accessionNumber,.);

And then create a third variable to create a url variable

$url = 
http://ids.si.edu/ids/dynamic?container.fullpageid=http://americanart.si.e
du/images/ 
http://ids.si.edu/ids/dynamic?container.fullpageid=http://americanart.si.e
du/images/$tmpImageDirectory/$artwork.accessionNumber_1a.jpg  +
$tmpImageDirectory + / + $accessionNumber + _1ajpg;

That's as far as I've gotten. I don't know how to put all of these together
using proper PHP syntax. Can someone help me with this? Thanks.

Best, Jeff

I am not sure I agree with the way you are setting the $url it looks like
you have mashed and a url hyperlink partially into 1.
Like you are trying to set the $url as a image with a link are you trying to
set a link or an image as the $url?

If you are trying to set a image as the $url do this.

$url = image

Sorry if this is not correct for what you are trying to do. I just do not

 Subject: [PHP] Syntax Question
 
 I, too, am a super newbie. I have a beginning knowledge of being able
 to
 read php and understand its syntax but I can¹t write it. This is a
 bit
 complicated but here¹s my problem:
 
 I want to create a variable in PHP that I can use to link to an image
 in our
 museum's image website. We have done it with ColdFusion here but I need
 the
 same thing for PHP because I¹m building a site using a php-based CMS
 called
 Omeka.
 
 In ColdFusion the variable is written:
 cfset tmpImageDirectory = getToken(artwork.accessionNumber, 1, .)
 
 Basically, it¹s saying find the image on our server by looking for its
 accession number within the year directory. Since the first part of the
 accession number is the year we got the artwork this variable is saying
 look
 for the accession number in the year directory by first looking at the
 first
 part of that accession number (the year), look in that year directory
 and
 then use the entire accession number to find the image within that
 directory.  An example of an accession number is 2011.15. That¹s saying
 that
 artwork was the 15th artwork brought into our collection in 2011. On
 our
 image server it will be found in a directory called 2011. (Am I making
 sense?)
 
 Then the Coldfusion call is:
 
 a
 href=http://ids.si.edu/ids/dynamic?container.fullpageid=http://americ
 anart
 .si.edu/images/#tmpImageDirectory#/#artwork.accessionNumber#_1a.jpg
 (the
 1a.jpg is simply the size image we want to call).
 
 I need to be able to do the same thing with PHP but have no idea how.
 
 More information: within my site I¹m housing the accession number in a
 mySQL
 database. I¹ve gotten a bit of help on this already (but not enough,
 that¹s
 why I¹m turning to you).
 
 I was told I need to create two variables [('Dublin Core','Identifier')
 is
 the name of the field that houses the accession number):
 
 $accessionNumber =  item('Dublin Core','Identifier');
 $tmpImageDirectory = strtok($accessionNumber,.);
 
 And then create a third variable to create a url variable
 
 $url =
 http://ids.si.edu/ids/dynamic?container.fullpageid=http://americanart
 .si.e
 du/images/
 http://ids.si.edu/ids/dynamic?container.fullpageid=http://americanart
 .si.e
 du/images/$tmpImageDirectory/$artwork.accessionNumber_1a.jpg  +
 $tmpImageDirectory + / + $accessionNumber + _1ajpg;
 
 That's as far as I've gotten. I don't know how to put all of these
 together
 using proper PHP syntax. Can someone help me with this? Thanks.
 
 Best, Jeff

 $url =
 http://ids.si.edu/ids/dynamic?container.fullpageid=http://americanart.si.e
 du/images/
 http://ids.si.edu/ids/dynamic?container.fullpageid=http://americanart.si.e
 du/images/. $tmpImageDirectory ./. $artwork .accessionNumber_1a.jpg .
 $tmpImageDirectory ./. $accessionNumber ._1ajpg;
 
 I am not sure I agree with the way you are setting the $url it looks like
 you have mashed and a url hyperlink partially into 1.
 Like you are trying to set the $url as a image with a link are you trying to
 set a link or an image as the $url?
 
 If you are trying to set a image as the $url do this.
 
 $url = image
 src=http://ids.si.edu/ids/dynamic?container.fullpageid=http://americanart.s
 i.edu/images/. $tmpImageDirectory ./. $accessionNumber ._1ajpg ALT='';
 
 Sorry if this is not correct for what you are trying to do. I just do not
 understand the intent.
 

To be honest with you, I'm not sure what that $url is supposed to do. This
is the info (albeit without any explanation) someone told me to use. But he
didn't tell me how to use it.

Basically, I need to be able to link to an image on our web server
dynamically. The structure of the web server is as I described: each image
has an accession number and each image is housed in a directory on that
server that is named the year that artwork was accessioned. We can retrieve
the accession number that is stored in the data field ('Dublin
Core','Identifier')

An example of an actual (non-dynamic) link to the image server might look
like this: 
http://ids.si.edu/ids/dynamic?container.fullpageid=http://americanart.si.ed
u/images/2011/2011.15_1a.jpg

I just need to be able to build that link dynamically for each artwork on
the site. (Personally, I'm not wedded to the code I posted earlier if
someone can find a better way of doing it. This is just what I was told to
use. Again, I'm a newbie.)

Hi,

 Notepad!!!  LOL..  I use netbeans but eclipse is nice.  A lot of it is
 personal opinion.

   I have been using Notepad since... oh, since 2007, I believe). And it's my 
editor of choice :-). Actually now I'm using AkelPad because of the unicode

This newsgroup has been a mess for almost a year now.

One big problem is that the server only accepts a small number of

[PHP] Studying mcrypt

2011-08-03 Thread Andre Polykanine
Hello Php,

  It's my first time I use mcrypt.
I've done everything like it's written in the php manuals, here is the code:

?php
$d=mcrypt_module_open(rijndael-256, , ofb, );
$iv=mcrypt_create_iv(mcrypt_enc_get_iv_size($d), MCRYPT_DEV_RANDOM);
$ks=mcrypt_enc_get_key_size($d);
$key=substr(md5(Secret key), 0, $ks);
mcrypt_generic_init($d, $key, $iv);
$cpass=mcrypt_generic($d, $_POST['opass']);
mcrypt_generic_deinit($d);
mcrypt_module_close($d);
?

And here's what I get:
Original password: asdfasdfasdf
Encrypted password: Q�j�*

Question: Is it normal to have such strange characters in the encrypted string?
I'm hosted at http://godaddy.com/, shared hosting, if it does matter.
Thanks!

Yes, since it's trying to represent in characters some purely binary data,
it is not unlikely that you will get VERY weird characters (and you do).

Also you shouldn't actually encrypt passwords, the proper way to store them
is hashed, so that if someone grabs your database, they dont have your
passwords, even if they have the key.

Best way to check is to decrypt it and verify...

NetBeans for PHP is definitely a GREAT choice! (it is now made to work
specially for PHP)
And if you don't have access to everything on your computer just install a
VMWare player and have a virtual server ;-) (ok it would take time but once
you have it, you have it)

 You can use base64_encode() on it to convert it into something that's
 printable and storable in the DB without having to resort to a binary blob

Isn't that a bit counterproductive though, storing it in binary?

Purely storage-related:
Say we are storing a 128byte result of encryption.
Storing it in a varbin would mean that you would use up 128+1 bytes of
storage, where as if you were to base64 encode it, data length would be 170
or so bytes, +1byte or 171bytes...  42 bytes difference...


This was a crypto class i wrote for something, i cant even recall exactly
what project it was for, it is making it's way into the framework, but for
now, i've changed it to be normal again

Hopefully it should be pretty straight forward:

Yes, since it's trying to represent in characters some purely binary 
  data,
  it is not unlikely that you will get VERY weird characters (and you do).
 
  Also you shouldn't actually encrypt passwords, the proper way to store them
  is hashed, so that if someone grabs your database, they dont have your
  passwords, even if they have the key.
 
  Best way to check is to decrypt it and verify...

The beauty of encoding something into base64 is that you can then easily
move that data around to systems that can't handle binary. You can pass
a base64 image down to the browser to display, without requiring a
second script to create the image used in the img tag. Javascript can
manipulate base64 data making it an alternative to json where json won't
work. Command line environments won't be able to deal with binary
arguments, but base64 is fine. It all depends on what you want to do
with it at the end of the day.

[PHP] How do I enable $_SERVER['HTTP_X_WAP_PROFILE'] or $_SERVER['HTTP_PROFILE']

2011-08-03 Thread Daevid Vincent
I'm working on a mobile site and from the various searches and reading (and
even code fragments I've inherited for the project), they make reference to:

$_SERVER['HTTP_X_WAP_PROFILE'] and a fallback $_SERVER['HTTP_PROFILE']

However, when I hit a phpinfo(); page using both an Android MyTouch 3G (2.2)
and an Apple iPhone 3G, there are nothing even close to those. All of the
'HTTP_X_*' headers are absent and there is no HTTP_PROFILE either.

detection/
http://mobiforge.com/developing/blog/useful-x-headers
http://blog.svnlabs.com/tag/_serverhttp_x_wap_profile/


Do I need to enable something in Apache or PHP??

(X)emacs is also a nice option.

Geany is an IDE but small and very nice and easy to use.

This is a bit of recurring thread every few weeks, but here's my answers
again this time around:

Kate (Linux and Windows) for simple editing, where you only need syntax
highlighting and not a full blown auto-suggest IDE
Netbeans for an IDE, as it has good SVN integration and is
cross-platform (so I can use the same environment at home (Linux) and
work (Windows))
