[PHP] PHP as CGI-CLI on FreeBSD/Apache22
Hi all, Up to this point we have been running PHP as an Apache 22 module. We would like to rebuild PHP over the next few weeks to run it as a CGI/CLI PHPSuexec system. I am hoping there may be others that have made this migration and might have a step by step how to (so far research shows it should be reasonably simple to do), and would be willing to share it. Right now we have FreeBSD 8.0 Apache22 built from ports, with apache suexec enabled, PHP5 Built from ports, Any hints are appreciated, -G

Re: [PHP] Securing PHP
Hi Nathan,
Thanks for taking the time to reply.
Yes, this is a shared server. Each (UNIX) user's home directory is thier
domain name i.e. /home/usersdomainnamehere.com and thier http root is www
i.e. /home/usersdomainnamehere.com/www
I am running apache 2. and mod_php. Most servers are running php 4.x right
now, but we will be upgrading to 5 soon.
Also, apache is running suexec for perl (cgi).
When files are written via ftp and cgi they are owned by the user who logged
in, and in both cases are limited to writing to thier home directory.
In the case of PHP, the files are owned by www.
Should I consider phpsuexec? Or will the apache directives you mentioned
below take care of it?

If so you can create include files on a per-user or per-domain basis.
Use the Apache config directive php_value to set your include_path and
open_basedir appropriately for each account; and other options as
desired.
I don't know of a particular site, but that is the config framework that
Plesk uses.
As for building PHP, make sure you run the testing battery ('make test'
after you 'make' and before you 'make install') in order to see how
'hardened' your build is.

Re: [PHP] Best authentication method for user
Hi Alain. On the authentication front, you can use HTTP basic authentication for this kind of thing too - and it means you're not having to re-invent the wheel in a lot of ways. The Auth_HTTP PEAR module makes this pretty simple to implement: http://pear.php.net/package/Auth_HTTP/ You can integrate you're own authentication mechanisms (i.e. DB stored passwords, LDAP authentication, whatever you like really) quite easily. Permissions systems are harder to implement. The PEAR LiveUser package is attempting to make this a bit easier too: http://pear.php.net/package/LiveUser/ HTH.

Re: [PHP] DB calls vs Session solution
Hi Jochem. the nice thing about programming with my 'data framework' is that its very generic, flexible and interspective (generating abitrarily complex sql/html/? from objects) ... which comes with a great cost. so I have code that is really very very heavy but if you consider the (complete|discount|standard|bundeled) price calculation routines for the site I was speaking of, are 1000's of lines in themselves you might agree that a more structured apporach to the code bear fruits in maintainability/extensability (which has been my finding overall). bottom line is [they] have to buy a bigger box. :-) actually my real problem lies in not being [cap]able of using the Smarty cache (I can't figure out how it works/how to use it) I'm thinking that output (HTML) caching might be an option for you - you seem to be hinting at that with the Smarty reference above. Probably depends mostly on how many variables you have to deal with. And I would still look into using MySQL level caching as well if the query execution time is more than a second or two. I'm in the process of optimising a CMS at the moment which fits your description of very generic, flexible and interspective (generating abitrarily complex sql/html/? from objects) ... which comes with a great cost. The biggest bottleneck in my app was not complex SQL, but PHP picking up all the include files (classes etc.), but that's beside the point. In my project I implemented an output cache (caching just the HTML) based on the full URI for text/html content-type GET requests - taking into consideration the query string parameters. Admittedly it's a very aggressive cache, and I may have to change it to allow for flexibility based on user ID or other parameters, but it does improve performance significantly. I query the cache before loading my framework, which is where most of the performance benefit comes from in my particular app. Another benefit to this approach is that it would be fairly easy to code the caching system around your existing framework i.e. if no cache hit, handle the request using your framework, then store to the cache via the output buffer. As far as I know you would be able to use APC for this type caching (I haven't used APC but have read up on it a little recently). It might even be possible to GZIP the output before caching to reduce memory requirements, at a small performance cost when dynamically generating the content. The approach could also be used for HTML fragments (i.e. just the changing area - the results listing HTML etc.) FWIW, Smarty probably doesn't do quite what you want (I use Smarty in the CMS, but afaict you need to know the template name + a unique ID to use the cache - if the template name can be hard coded, no dramas, but if it's dynamically loaded, it becomes trickier - including the Smarty class also incurs a performance overhead). Not sure if any of that's useful? BTW, if anyone sees any serious issues with this approach, let me know. I don't intend to roll out the solution to a live system for a while, so I still have plenty of time to revisit.

Re: [PHP] About date time...
Hi Gustav.
I'm a swede, and I we use hours 0 - 24.
8 pm = 20 for us.
9 pm = 21 for us
10 pm = 22...
and so on...
But with date()-function there is 10 pm that shows (and I want 22 to
show instead)
I'm using PHP 4.0.3...
Do I have to use getdate() then? (getdate()-function showed 22...)
The docs for date() (http://www.php.net/date) show that there are a
number of different options for the first parameter. If you check out
the table on that page, you'll find:
H | 24-hour format of an hour with leading zeros | 00 through 23
With this in mind, the following will work (if I understand your
question correctly):
$t = date('H\:\ i\:\ s');

How about generating a hash-enhanced (TM) realm name, such as:

Then store that timestamp-based hash in the session. When you want to

I've not tested it at all.

Simply unsetting the PHP_AUTH_USER and PHP_AUTH_PWD variables doesn't

You could start with list($t1, $t2, ...) instead. Personally, I'd done
it without assuming mysql_fetch_row is returning an array.
Try:
$t1 = ;
$t2 = ;
while ($row = mysql_fetch_row($result)) {
list($t1, $t2) = $row;
...
}

if (ctype_alpha($y[0])) {
//strcmp
} elseif (ctype_digit([$y[0])) {
//-1
} else {
// 1;
}
} elseif (ctype_digit([$x[0])) {
if (ctype_alpha($y[0])) {
// 1;
} elseif (ctype_digit([$y[0])) {

}
} else {
if (ctype_alpha($y[0])) {
// -1;
} elseif (ctype_digit([$y[0])) {

Any ideas on how to accomplish this?
Matt Palermo [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message
news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
I'm try to sort a list of items using a usort function. Basically, I want
it to sort in this order:
Numbers (0-9)
Letters (Aa-Zz)
Other (anything else)
To explain a little further, I want anything that starts with a number to
show up first in the sorted list, then anything that starts with a letter,
and finally anything that starts with some other character. My usort
function I'm using now gives me results close to this, but it sorts it as
follows (which is wrong for what I need):
Numbers (0-9)
Other (anything else)
Letters (Aa-Zz)
They are all sorted properly alphabetically, but not in the group order
that I need them in. Here is the usort function I'm using right now:
function myUsort($x, $y)
{
if(strtolower($x) == strtolower($y)) return 0;
if(strtolower($x) strtolower($y)) return -1;
return 1;
}
function myUsort($x, $y) {
if (ctype_digit($x[0])) {
} elseif (ctype_alpha($x[0]}
}
As I stated above, this provides me with the proper alphabetical results,
but I need it tweaked. Basically this function will give a sorted list
like this:
007
90210
__underscore
abra-cadabra
Zebra
But I need the function to provide a sorted list like this:
007
90210
abra-cadabra
Zebra
__underscore
Anyone know what I need to do to get these results? Please let me know.
Thanks,

A timestamp is the time in seconds (since Jan 1 1970), so you can ascertain the age in seconds by subtracting the stored timestamp from the current timestamp.

This is yet another web paragraph, which is indented with spaces for some unknown reason. == Output text should be correctly formatted without using lots of br's and nbsp;'s. Doing so manually is not a problem, I would just use p for web paragraphs, and p class=book for book paragraphs. However, formatting such text with a scrip is very difficult. Does anyone knows a good exaple of such script? -- David Grant http://www.grant.org.uk/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Is it possible to return the result of eval function to a string rather than
outputting directly to the browser?
ob_start();
eval('$eval = evil;');
$output = ob_get_clean();

Re: [PHP] help with preg_replace only part of the string
Replace the middle (.*) with ([^]*). This tells the regex engine to ignore new opening tags. Cheers, David Georgi Ivanov wrote: Hi, I want to replace the content of html links : a href=foo name=blaREPLACETHIS/a. $html=preg_replace(/(a.*name=.*)(.*)\/a/isU,$link,$html,1); This generally works but removes a,/a tags too. How to make it work without removing anything else than (.*) in the middle of a.*/a Thanks in advance. -- David Grant http://www.grant.org.uk/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] What software do you use for writing PHP?
Jeff, Jeff McKeon wrote: Forever now I've been using Frontpage for all my web work including php. I'm sure there's better software out there that is more suited to writing and editing PHP pages. What do you all use? I use Zend Studio 5, but there are plenty of other (cheaper) options.

Re: [PHP] Unnecessary if statement? Programming technique
Jared Williams wrote: Why not for ($i = 0; $i 100/100; ++$i) This involves dividing 100 by 100 for each iteration of the loop. It would be better to test against 1. There is also the unwanted side-effect of executing the code on each hundredth iteration, which is unwanted (as far as I understand the problem). :) It would be interesting if Steve could divulge the greater problem that he is seeking a solution to.
