RE: [PHP] Pulling unique data from database

Subject: [PHP] Pulling unique data from database
I am pulling data from a database that list the Language a person
speaks. It is in a format like this.
English||Spanish
English
English||Portuguese||Finnish
English||Japanese||German
English
English
German
each time it looks at a new record it list all the languages that that
person speaks with a double pipe in between each language.
What I need to do is find all the unique languages so I can generate a
list of languages that do not have any repeats in it. so the
list above
would be English,Portuguese,Finnish,Japanese,German,Spanish in any
order
How would I go about this. I can not change the format of the database
and there are over 200 people listed in the database.

RE: [PHP] Why $ on variable names?
In an earlier message, Ernest E Vogelsinger [mailto:ernest;vogelsinger.at] said ... Think of how an interpreter works. It parses the sourcecode in realtime, not as a compiler. People must _wait_, every time, until it is finished, not only once like a compiler. Thus designers of interpreted languages like something that can easily be distinguished, so you don't need to lookup a lot of hash tables to identify a symbol, or to resolve amiguities. Lots of other popular interpreted languages managed to get by without the need for something unique to identify a variable name: LISP, TCL, JavaScript, Visual Basic. During parsing an interpreter or compiler will know when it might see a variable (or constant, which can be stored in the same hash table). Look at the syntax for any language. There's really no need for extraneous symbol table lookups. That's why the '$' preceds a variable name. Simply said, when the parser sees a '$', it knows which symbol table to look it up. If a token doesn't have a '$', it can be found in the table of keywords of the language's state machine. But, that's not true. If the token doesn't have a '$' it could be a function or constant name, as well as a keyword. -- O Ernest E.

[PHP] Help with Configure Options
I am thinking of moving PHP-based web site to a new server. In doing my due diligence, I see that the new server has some different PHP configure options.

I'm hoping people here can tell me what they mean: --enable-libgcc: I found the 1-line explanation on www.php.net, but I'm unclear as to the implications of this option.

RE: [PHP] Help needed with hexdec();
I spent many frustrating days debugging a similar problem. I
don't understand exactly what is going on, but it seems that the
problems revolve around PHP's treatment of an integer as signed
or unsigned.
Through experimentation I determined that the way you specify an
integer constant (decimal or hex) with the sign bit on will
affect how PHP treats that integer.
Try the following: determine the signed decimal equivalents of
the two hex integers in your code replace the hex
representations with the decimal equivalents. So, if I'm
remembering correctly (please check my math), the line
if ($a hexdec())
would become
if ($a -1)
See if this makes a difference.

Subject: [PHP] Help needed with hexdec();
Hi Guys,
I have a problem wich I hope has been solved by someone :-)
Here's the deal,
I have to convert a perl script to PHP trying to do so
I get negative
values from hexdec(), If I use (int)hexdec() the
numbers aren't negative
anymore, but they do not add up to what they should.
Here's the perl line:
$a = FF ($a, $b, $c, $d, $temparr[8], $S11, hex(698098d8));
this is PHP:
$a = FF ($a, $b, $c, $d, $temparr[8], $S11,
hexdec(698098d8));
FF is a function:
function FF($a,$b,$c,$d,$x,$s,$ac)
{
$a += F($b,$c,$d) + $x + $ac;
if ($a hexdec())
{
$a = substr($a,strlen($a)-9,9) ;
}
$a = RL($a,$s);
$a += $b;
return $a;
}
F is also a function:
function F($x, $y, $z)
{
return ((($x) ($y)) | ((~$x) ($z)));
}
Could anybody tell me what I am missing here?

The recent thread on security has prompted me to think about security in a shared server environment. I want to see if my understanding is correct ... Let's say I am in a shared server environment the provider does NOT have safe_mode turned on. In that case, it seems to me that it is insecure to keep secrets (e.g., DB passwords) in a PHP file that is executed by the server.

Thanks for the reply. But changing the ground read permission of the PHP files wouldn't help, either, would it?

Think about it in terms of the permissions on the file. The people who can read this file are explicitly defined in your permissions. The catch-22 is that the web server is usually not run as root, so it doens't automatically get to see your files -- you need to give it permission to read them just as you would any other user. In a shared system, if you give others permission to read the file, the web server user can now read the file, but so can everyone else. However, if there were some way for you to change the group association of the file to, say, the websecret group, and then you could close off the read permissons of others on that file. As long as the web server is a member of websecret, and you grant read permissions to the group for that file, then the web server can read it. The trick is that in order to change the file's group association to websecret, you probably need to be either root or a member of websecret, unless the system admins have provided some kind of script that does this on your behalf. Which means that anyone else who has this ability can read the file too (since they are a member of websecret). It's tough. Shared hosting security is a difficult issue.

[PHP] PHP Hex Numbers
I would think that if $a were a number that
echo $a;
and
printf('%d', $a);
would produce the same output. Is this correct?
Either I'm missing something, or PHP gets very confused when
dealing with some numbers. For example, the following program
?
$result = 0x9E3779B9;
echo $result
printf('%d', $result);
?
produces
2654435769
-1640531527
I get the same kind of unexpected results when doing arithmetic
on such numbers.
Is this tickling some kind of known bug in PHP? or am I

The parsing phase uses a grammar which is more powerful (every regexpr has equivalent grammar but not the other way around). But the comments are usually detected and dropped thereof in the scanning phase (prior to parsing). If I remember correctly, scanning typically uses a finite state machine (equivalent to regular expressions), while parsing using a pushdown automaton (or equivalent). You are also correct that many (most?) compilers throw out comments during scanning. Of course you could keep comments around and do the balanced parenthesis matching in the parsing phase. Some languages support nested comments do just this. Any fallacies in my memory recollection? Nope.

[PHP] POST Format
This is not entirely a PHP question I should know the answer, but ... I'm trying to figure out how to correct the proper format for simulating the data sent in a POST. I believe the basic syntax is name1=value1name2=value2 ... Is this correct? If so, how are the value's encoded? Is each value surrounded by ? Do I need to urlencode() each value (without the surrounding )? Any help appreciated. -- JR -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
RE: [PHP] comment followed by ? fails to parse
I would think that the first occurrence of ? would/should terminate the PHP code. This makes sense because the surrounding text is HTML the HTML parser does not understand PHP comments.

RE: [PHP] comment followed by ? fails to parse
This seems to me to be inconsistent/buggy behavior on the part of
the PHP parser.
To be consistent, I would think that it would want to act like an
HTML parser (browser), which will recognize the first ?,
regardless of where it occurs. The idea being that if the PHP
code is passed through a server that doesn't execute PHP, the
code will not appear display.

No, if you use /* ? */ as a comment the parser will

it.if you want to use sample code in your script just use:

that'll work fine
