Re: [PHP] pdf
Hi all , I am using PHP 4.3.2 and MYSQL database. I need to convert the sql query to Adobe PDF format. Any one have any suggestion how to do this? I have search phpclasses , found SQL2PdfReport classes , however it gave error message as shown below : Error in opening pdf Lookup the code in the SQL2Report class , it did not support pdf 7.0 and above. Thanks I would recommend you looking into pdflib, this is a professional package which supports all versions of PDF, and really whatever you need. The other class people mentions are free, but far from as advanced as pdflib.

Re: [PHP] Files passing through
I'm using this method, works fine with 50mb+ files :
if( $fd = fopen ($filepath, 'r')){
while(!feof($fd)) {
$buffer = fread($fd, 2048);
print $buffer;
}
fclose ($fd);
exit;
}

Subject: [PHP] Files passing through
Hi People,
I want to use a PHP script to pass through a file to the browser [ right
after some processing ].
What is the fastest way to do this? I know
echo(file_get_contents('myfile')); is not a good idea ;)
Is fpassthrough the right choice?
maybe virtual, so it won't go through php but apache does the job?
there's also readfile
Another question, how seriously does this affect the performance in
comparison to let apache handle it. Is the difference big at MB+ files?
or only significant when dealing with a lot of tiny files?
Thanks for your help!
Evert

[PHP] session_start(), Pragma and Cache-control headers
Hello,
I'm working on a downbload script which serves M3U
files (Winamp playlist files) through a PHP file
like this :
somepath/download.m3u.php?id=2
Then in the PHP script I generate the M3U file, and
serve up the headers I want. Swell so far, but a
little problem appears.
The downloads are for members only, and therefor I
need to check if the user is logged in, I do this by
sessions and therefore I add a session_start() at the
start of my file. When I do this some headers are
added to the file, namely :
Set-Cookie: PHPSESSID=xxx; path=/
Expires: Thu, 19 Nov 1981 08:52:00 GMT
Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate, post-check=0,
pre-check=0
Pragma: no-cache
Theese headers are not needed, and I dont want them
either, exept I cant seem to get rid of them since I
need the session_start() in the beginning of the file.
Sure, I could wish for a function unset_potensial_header(pragma);
I guess there are no way to remove theese unwanted headers?
Yesterday I had to give up another problem, but luckily I
found the answer here : http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=33057
So to sum it up :
How can I remove the Cache-Control and Pragma headers?
And Im not looking for this answer :
header('Pragma: ');
header('Cache-control: ');
The headers are still sendt, exept they are empty, doesnt look
like a nice sollution for a production environment.

Re: [PHP] session_start(), Pragma and Cache-control headers
I solved the problem after a while, seems it had been
reacently debated in the bug pages within php, to remove
headers which are added by the session_start(); you can
add the following :
ini_set('session.use_cookies', false);
session_cache_limiter('');

Re: [PHP] AJAX coding and Sesisons
I have done this quite a few times lately, you shouldn't worry. Just have your session_start() and login security on the pages that you access with javascript aswell, they will have the same security as any other page. The sessionID is used for all requests to the server from the webbrowser, also from within a page from javascript. Which again means that you can use your validation scheeme on theese files aswell. As a side note, if your on a page the user spends much time on, having some Ajax functionality accually works like a little heartbeat / pulse, resetting the session time so that the user infact can spend more time on the same webpage without having to do some movement, :D regards, Kim Steinhaug - - - - - - - www.steinhaug.com - Original Message - From: Bret Walker [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: PHP-Users php-general@lists.php.net Cc: Ivan Meyers [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, August 22, 2005 9:57 PM Subject: [PHP] AJAX coding and Sesisons I'm authoring a web app, and I want to use some AJAX functionality.

[PHP] matching system - anyone seen any?
I wonder if anyone have come across a script/system that already has this feature, else I would need to do it all over again. The scenario is this : I want people to select the movies they have seen and rate them 1/10. Movies not available in the polling system they can add, and rate them. This way the database is constantly growing, and ratings are constantly added. You can rate as many films you want, or noen if you like. Then, after you have rated you can match your ratings to find other people that match your selections. More like matching a profile really. There would be some sort of system inside here which could build a form of profile based on your ratings, and then compare theese profiles. I havnt really started planning how this would work, or should work, but first mainly if anyone has seen such a system around.

[PHP] Re: Upload problems
Just a quick question, Did you alter the upload_max_filesize to 500MB and the post_max_size to say 510MB and you succesfully upload 500MB files from one machine to the server? I never testes with filesizes that large, but It would be nice to hear if it accually works without tweaking to much. I would also think that the general 30sec timout would need to be altered as moving a 500MB file from /var/ to the users homedirectory and then do some filechecking on it and such would easilly need some extra seconds. Not to think of the overhead if many people upload large files at a time. Ok, its a vague post this, just looking for some input here, :D Its like the needle and the haystack, dont know what im exatcly looking for here, but you never know.

Well, seems you have some confusing logic here, since you
print out the option before you check if it should be checked.
To top it off, when its accually checked you write out an empty
value, which really doesnt make any sence at all.
A quick rewite would be :
while($rowu=mysql_fetch_object($result1)){
if ($selected==$rowu-naamreis)
echo option SELECTED value=\$rowu-naamreis\ . $rowu-naamreis .
/option\n ;
else
echo option value=\$rowu-naamreis\ .
$rowu-naamreis . /option\n ;

Re: [PHP] Using Post like Get
Since you are on the same server, I hope you mean the same domain. If not the session variable wouldnt work very well. But if you infact are on the same domain, you should look into the session variable and store everything you need. From what I know there are now limits on how much you can store in a session, that said I wouldt pump several megabytes into it... Several good answers here, but it looks like most of us agree on the session. Cookies can ofcourse also be used, but this also means that you require all your clients to have them enabled. Anyways, even when using cookies I always use session as the main system - cookies only works as a saved session in my systems. (Meaning, instead of having to logg onto the system again, the username and passowrd are stored in a cookie, this way the user can choose the famous remember me setting many of us enjoy). -- Kim Steinhaug - There are 10 types of people when it comes to binary numbers: those who understand them, and those who don't. - www.steinhaug.com - www.easywebshop.no - www.easycms.no www.webkitpro.com - Dennis Gearon [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] What I'm trying to achieve is to have the same cookie IDENTIFY a user on different (or same) applications (on the same server), but require them to log in for each application, and get a different session..

[PHP] PHP logic - Whats going on here?
Ive stumbled onto a rather strange problem, atleast I cant see why this
is happening. Im using phpMailer to send mails, and I have the following
straight forward code :
$mail = new phpmailer();
$mail-IsSendmail();
$mail-From = '[EMAIL PROTECTED]';
$mail-FromName = 'From Name';
$mail-AddAddress('[EMAIL PROTECTED]');
$mail-Subject = $header;
$mail-Body = $body;
Then to send the mail we use this :
if(!$mail-Send()) {
echo $lang_error['mailer_error'] . br\n;
}
As you see above, Ive dropped the what if all goes well loop, since I
believe that the $mail-Send() is initiaded in the first statement
For some reason the above results in a blank mail, no $body at all,
rest is fine. However, if I include a dummy for if all goes well :
if(!$mail-Send()) {
echo $lang_error['mailer_error'] . br\n;
} else {
// Why do I need this one???
}
What I dont understand is why do I need the last else statement? Isnt the
result of $mail-Send() completed if I only check for !$mail-Send()?
Maby it would be better to write like this :
if(!$mail-Send()) {
echo $lang_error['mailer_error'] . br\n;
} else if ($mail-Send()){
// Why do I need this one???
}
The above would in my belief send two mails, atleast my logic tells me that.
The strange part is that when looking at examples from
phpmailer.sourceforge.net
they use my initial loop aswell, not the Why do I need this one??? part.
Im beginning to wonder if there are something mystical going on with either
my
code or our servers. ??
Hope someone understand what Im wondering about here, hehe.

Re: [PHP] PHP logic - Whats going on here?
Thanks for your reply, it all seems logical when you think of it, still I also think it sounds logical without the extra ELSE statement since the function has to executed for the first IF to do the comparison, meaning that the email should be sendt in the first place. (If it didnt how could it state FALSE or TRUE, unless PHP only simulates the function if it falls outside the initial IF statement) However, no reason to argue the obvious, :D On the other hand, this would also mean that the exmaples from phpmailers homepage are wrong : [ SNIP FROM http://phpmailer.sourceforge.net/extending.html ] $mail-Body= $body; $mail-AltBody = $text_body; $mail-AddAddress($row[email], $row[full_name]); $mail-AddStringAttachment($row[photo], YourPhoto.jpg); if(!$mail-Send()) echo There has been a mail error sending to . $row[email] . br; [ /SNIP] This is probably why I in the first place removed the extra ELSE statement, since I didnt see any reason for it. But in future Ill always include it it seems, :D -- Kim Steinhaug - There are 10 types of people when it comes to binary numbers: those who understand them, and those who don't. - www.steinhaug.com - www.easywebshop.no - www.easycms.no www.webkitpro.com - -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Re: JavaScript Enabled?
Indeed an old thread this one, but I still would like to know if someone have some input on some ways of solving this dilemma. Surely it is easy to detect javascript when its enabled, but what to do when it's not enabled is a much more interesting approach. I have several systems online which (maby from old habits) heavily depends on javascript functionality. Surely I could easily remove all javascript and do all processing and validation serverside, but in my honest opinion I see no practical reason to ignor javascript in any application. The benefits of using java is far greater than the problems. SOLLUTION 1 - DETECTING THE CLIENT I would think that if we set a meta refresh to the noscript.htm and an onload javascript to switch to script.htm we could from theese pages set some session variables if the user has script or not. However this redirecting of pages is kinda silly I think, and I would like to think that there are other ways of doing this? Let us not forget that search engines would just love this sollution on our frontpage... Surely we could add this code and refresh the same page with ?jave=false or ?java=true, but for some reason I dont like this sollution. Meta refresh is bad. ALTERNATIVE SOLLUTION - POSSIBLE? Hoping someone has already solved this Im throwing some thoughts here. Since I use the session variable on all my pages, I could also create a fake gif spacer from a php script (eg. spacer.gif.php, which eventually spits out the gif but lets me do some stuff meanwhile at first). This gif could be called from javascript document write. A 1x1 spacer, which if I call this gif would mean that javascript would work, and if this script is triggered I could update the session with eg. script=true; Which would make me know if the user has it enabled or not? Atleast this sounds logical in my head, aslong as I dont need to alert the user at once if hes got enabled java or not. This approach would mean that I can alert the user with whatever HTML code from PHP I would want after eg. 3 pageviews, since he would surely have the triggered the dopcument.write by then. (Ofcourse if he has deactivated images aswell we have problems but hey... ) Alot of nothing here really, but maby someone have some thoughts on the matter. -- Kim Steinhaug - There are 10 types of people when it comes to binary numbers: those who understand them, and those who don't. - www.steinhaug.com - www.easywebshop.no - www.easycms.no www.webkitpro.com - Richard Davey [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi all, Can anyone suggest a suitable means for detecting if a client browser has JavaScript enabled or not?

What you really should consider is having a login system that after the user is logged in you serve the user the correct content, and all from what is stored in the session.

Sessions are the best thing to use, cookies are nice as a supplement. If you want your users to be able to auto-login cookies are just the thing to use, but apart from this cookies are not my favourite. Another thing is that many browsers nowaydays have turned cookies all off.. I remember a friend of mine did a supportsystem where the loggin system was pure cookies... Man - did their staff get a lot of support from people who didnt manage to logg into the system... As mentioned - this were users with cookies turned off As the other users mentioned, the /tmp folder might be out of space, however your provider might also have some custom setup on that server which screws up the /tmp folder here and there. I know for a fact one large provider here in Norway who has this problem on one of their servers due to a heavy site which from time to time sucks up resources resulting in the /tmp folder getting messed up. If you still havnt solved your problem, get your provider to move you to another of his servers (physically!), or change provider.

We just moved a bunch of code from one web hosting company to another.
Now, one of the pages no longer works. I have been sort of starting from
scratch, and the first line is still not working. Am I using something
that I shouldn't be? Here is a code snippet:
if ($REQUEST_METHOD=='POST') {
for(reset($HTTP_POST_VARS);
$key=key($HTTP_POST_VARS);
next($HTTP_POST_VARS)) {
$this = addslashes($HTTP_POST_VARS[$key]);
$this = strtr($this, , );
$this = strtr($this, , );
$this = strtr($this, |, );
$$key = $this;
}
}
The part that's not working is the $REQUEST_METHOD=='POST' line. If I
replace that with if ($login) (and $login is the name of the submit button
on the form), it works fine. I am leary of using $login...any other
suggestions?
Thanks.

[PHP] Re: Encryption Question
Do you really need to use stripslashes when retrieving the data?
Wouldnt stripslashes only affect magic quotes or already added slashes,
I mean when you addslashes to the SQL the slashes are indeed removed
when inserted in the table.

You should probably use mysql_escape_string or mysql_real_escape_string
instead of addslashes and stripslashes. IMHO addslashes and stripslashes
are pretty much useless.

Re: [PHP] Re: array_rand() not random
Well,
I must admit Im gotten abit to familiar with the use of MySQL lately,
though it might be abit overkill - but what the heck. The database is
there to be used and we shouldnt worry to much. For those really
worrying there are several file based sql alternatives out there.
Ok, I would use and update statement against the SQL database,
soething like :
update my_stats_table set counter=counter+1 where id=1
All you need is to fire this query on every page, well, you might have
different counters for different pages I just used the ID=1 as an
example, it might aswell be page='frontpage'
If you need a more dynamic sollution, meaning you have contents that
you want logged that change from time to time - and you do not
want to prepare the database all the time you could do it like this,
remember
I use a DB extraction layer function named query, so whenever I write
query I really mean mysql_query... Assuming your counting banners
query(update my_stats_table set counter=counter+1 where id= .
md5($bannername));
if(!mysql_affected_rows)
query(inserted my_stats_table (id, counter) VALUES (' .
md5($bannername) . ',1));
You see the logic with the mysql_affected_rows. Now your still stuck with
doing
some nifty stats generating from the data you have in your table - but now
you have
numbers in the database and you have several options.
One that suddenly comes to mind, is always showing the one with the smallest
impressions.
$result = query(select * from my_stats_table where order by counter limit
1);
You would here need to add more information, probably might aswell include
the entire
banner in the database.
Well, BTW, hope this helps you.

Hmm... Ive been having same problems with mysql and picking random

You could, not that it will be any better, try another approach :
Something like :
$count = count($your_data_array);
$random = rand(0, $count);
echo $your_data_array[$random];
PHP is maby using the same random function for both the array_rand and
rand for all I know but its worth a go.
yeah, since they use the same thing i'm not sure it'd be worth the
effort.
The harder way would be to include an internal counter for your
elements you want to be randomized, so that when an item is selected
you count it. Then the next time you calculate the random element
you take the accual hits into meassure. There are like a 1000 ways
to do this so use your imagination.
that would be cool. but how do you maintain the value of a counter
from reload to reload? would i have to open an external file, read
its variable, increment it, write to it, and close it every time? or
is there a way to do that in the code of a single php page?

Re: [PHP] Re: Best Lossless Hi-Res Photo Storage with PHP
Hei, Regarding the jpg compression, we did some testing along with our customers press buereu's (I think thats the name, the ones that do all the prints and designs the logoes and such). Here we did som testing on the images and the quality. What we experienced was that if we converted the images to JPG with a quality of 10 it was good enough for most people. I however still use 11 just to be safe. (We are ofcourse talking about 300DPI images) So there you have it, quality 10 is still good enough quality for print. However - be aware of another stupid fact - people expecting high resolution downloads wont download a 4-5mb jpg image, since it cant (?) be good enough quality... They are simply expecting a 50MB tif image since this is what they are working with normally. This is infact a huge problem! So much depending on you customers, but saving as a jpg should be just fine. -- -- Kim Steinhaug -- There are 10 types of people when it comes to binary numbers: those who understand them, and those who don't. -- www.steinhaug.com - www.easywebshop.no - www.webkitpro.com -- Galen [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Jun 12, 2004, at 4:36 PM, Kim Steinhaug wrote: well, there are formats that have impressed me.

I don't touch Windows unless I have to, so I don't primarily run it at home and my servers _never_ run it, so this format is totally out of the running - I need to be able to compress/decompress on *nix based machines. If your looking for supreme quality however, you would need to stay away from the lossy formats and probably go for TIFF which is a great format and is also supported by any major software. PNG however is abit strange, woudnt sendt PNG images to a publisher... You could ZIP the TIF images on the HD to same space, you often get good results on this. This would also make the downloads better for the user, and since all the browsing online would use thumbnails you dont need to waste CPU do depack the images, since you all users can depack a ZIP file (thats the least you would expect from a user that purchase a High resolution image). I've experimented, PNG is notably better than ZIP for compressing image material. PNG retains 100% quality and offers the smallest file sizes around in a file that can be read by almost any system (i.e. all half-recent browsers, photoshop, most other graphics applications, etc). There's no reason I can't also offer a TIFF file, but I'll primarily route the user to the PNG file because it's simply the smallest download yet retains 100% quality and is a completely free format. Ive created such systems myself, and my sollution was another : Plug in a new harddrive. We save the images as jpg, tif, eps, ai or whatever the original image was created as, and create thumbnails at various resolutions in high compressed jpg for fast browsing. Often I tend to ZIP the lossless images aswell, but then again I dont need to since HD isnt a problem atleast in my case. I have a similar system implemented with thumbnails and caching and all sorts of things. Works great. But hard drive space is a major concern, so I have to be more conservative with the hi-res versions. Hope this helps. Well, it's good to know that somebody else works with this sort of thing. Although I was really hoping to hear from someone who's worked with JPEG 2000 lossless (much higher than PNG image compression ratio!) via ImageMagick or something similar to that. Or perhaps any other interesting solutions people have come up with that beat PNG for compression.

[PHP] Re: export from mysql to csv file
You are also probably using PHPMyAdmin, if not you should be using this.
Exporting to CVS is fairly simple, and if your used to quering the databsae
you should be able to do this very easilly yourself if your looking for a
sollution you can do from scripts.
Basically what you do is simply do a select * from table, which will give
you
every coloumn of the database, Thereafter loop through the entire dataset
and use the mysql_fetch_array function, then use this :
foreach ($temp AS $key=$value){
// $key = coloumn name
// $temp[$key] = coloumn value
if(!is_numeric($key))
echo $key . : . $temp[$key] . br;
}
Where $temp is the $temp = mysql_fetch_array($dataset_from_query);
If your into 100.000 entries in the database you will need to do some
smart quering, or alter the php.ini to handle more than the standard 30
sec timout. Basically you could also go in rounds of limit 0,5
thereafter
limit 5,5 but that wasnt your question.

[PHP] Re: sessions pls help
Well,
What you need to do is start all pages with the session_start(); variable,
like this :
?php
session_start();
?
This would make you ready for handling logins and such further down the
page.
What you also need to do is two things,
1. Create a login which registers a new session.
2. Create a validation function which validates the logged user on each
page.
Example, login page :
?php
session_start();
if(($_GET[username]==thename) ($_GET[password]==thepass)){
$u-username=$_GET[username];
$u-password=$_GET[password];
session_register(u);
}
?
The above code would mean that
a)
You enable the session for the page.
b)
If the username and passord is valid, you se the sessionobject, in the
example u
to the username and passord.
Further you need the page to validate if you have a valid login, a simple
way would be
to just validate if the u object is something at all, since if you havnt
logged in there isnt
any value here.
Example :
// check if user logged in
if(!$u-username){
// Not logged in, lets throw a header or something to send the user to
login page
}
The best should be to look up the username from $u-username against your
database
to be sure that the username infact is valid.
Final script page would be :
?php
// start session
session_start();
// Login, register session object
if(($_GET[username]==thename) ($_GET[password]==thepass)){
$u-username=$_GET[username];
$u-password=$_GET[password];
session_register(u);
}
// check if user logged in
if(!$u-username){
// Not logged in, lets throw a header or something to send the user to
login page
header(location: login.php);
exit;
}
// The rest of page comes here
?
This is a brief explernation which should give you what you need to get
going on
your session handling. You also might want to add more variables into the
prosess, like IP, browseragent and such to prevent session hijacking from
proxy
servers, just to be on the secure side.

[PHP] Re: Reversing a string?
Hehe, managed to do it on first try. This should do it :
?php
$string = hello world;
$length = strlen($string);
if($length1){
$reversed = ;
for($i=0;$i$length;$i++){
$reversed .= substr($string,$length-$i,1);
echo substr($string,$length-$i,1) . br;
}
$reversed .= substr($string,0,1);
echo substr($string,0,1) . br;
echo $reversed;
} else echo $string;
?
I added some errochecking if the string is only 1 character, since there
should be no use in running the for loop then.

Hi all,
I need a script for reversing a string (hello world becomes dlrow
olleh). I have tried the following:
---
$length = strlen($i);
$g = ;
while ($length 0)
{
$g = $i[$length] . $g;
$length--;
}
echo $g;
---
With, obviously, no success. Is this the way or could array_reverse()
somehow be used?

[PHP] Re: Resequencing logic
Well, this is much the same as any CMS system where you are able to sort the contents by your own, in your case song titles. One way to solve this is by using form fields together with your listings so that you have some sort of link to the posts in your database. You also need a field in the database that keeps track of the sort. You also need abit of javascript. EG. ID, SONG TITLE, SORTER Lets have some data, 1, Limbo, 5 2, Bimbo, 6 3, Cimba, 1 This will be presented : Cimba (1) Limbo (5) Bimbo (6) When you print out the HTML I would include some hidden form fields for each item so that I know what to sort / move up / down. Eg. hidden name=data[item][$i] value=ID/ Cimba (hidden ID=3) hidden name=data[item][$i] value=ID/ Limbo (hidden ID=1) hidden name=data[item][$i] value=ID/ Bimbo (hidden ID=2) Each line would need some sort of javascript command, like javascript=moveup($i) Assign this moveup() variable to anything, eg. hidden name=check value=** so we can access it from PHP. Your javascript will then submit the form with ALL variables mentioned above. So do we now know? 1. We have a complete array of all the records from the HTML page in $_POST[data][item] 2. We also know what database ID each item has with the twin array $_POST[data][id] If we were to move something up, now we have a way of doing so, since : Say you entered moveup(2), which the javascript assigned the 2 to a variable check which we now know as $_POST[check]. Moving 2 (Which is 3 since we start counting from 0) we know that 2 is supposed to switch places with 1, meaning the SORTER will be switched. so we know the following : $data = $_POST[item]; $sourceID = $data[item][$_POST[check]]; $destinationID = $data[item][$_POST[check]-1]; The rest would be to do the SQL queries for the SORTER field, A=C, B=A, C=B meaning : tempA = select sorter from blabla wher id = source tempB = select sorter from blabla wher id = destination update blabla set sorter=destination where id = source update blabla set sorter=source where id = destination This was all abit quick'n'dirty as I call it, but I hope you got the general idea on how to do it. You need ofcourse alot more debugging and such for the final code (Like you cand moveUP the first row, since that would make the array go from 0 to -1 which doesnt make sence). -- -- Kim Steinhaug -- There are 10 types of people when it comes to binary numbers: those who understand them, and those who don't. -- www.steinhaug.com - www.easywebshop.no - www.webkitpro.com -- Matt Grimm [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] I apologize if this message is a repeat; I've had trouble posting with Thunderbird.

[PHP] Re: PHP Website Architecture
Well if you really want to do it the perfect way, I would recommend using only one PHP file to generate the whole site. Or if you like, have one file with all the functions. You should also read into classess and create most of the functions as classess. To do the error handling there are many ways to go, but the best way would be to use output buffering. If an error occurs you can store the entire buffer if you like into a database and present an entire different page to the user informing that samoething went wrong. The old alternative is to present a 50/50 page with some error handling here and there. Its really all up to you, there isnt a perfect way in doing this. But my advice again, use classess (OOP) as its very reusable and look at output buffering for total control. -- -- Kim Steinhaug -- There are 10 types of people when it comes to binary numbers: those who understand them, and those who don't. -- www.steinhaug.com - www.easywebshop.no - www.webkitpro.com -- Paul Higgins [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi all, I have a question regarding website design with PHP.

Well shouldnt be a problem. Hook up an iframe on your page, use a javascript timer to send all data to the iframe every n seconds and submit the form inside the iframe.

[PHP] Re: form submission logic
I dont agree however, if your creating a system which should be
user friendly I would absolutely demand from my users to have JS
enabled.
If they dont have JS enabled, then - well, to bad for them...
We have created several web applications and have alot of
customers (B2B), and they have all JS enabled. The friendslyness
and functionality you can do with JS makes the total experience
far better than not using JS. And you alse can save alot of reloading
of the pages with confirmation dialogs and such.
Anyway, its all a matter of opinion.

[PHP] reversing an IF statement
Often I end up using a dumb IF statement which to me seems that
it could have been done some other way.
Example :

($_GET[id]==1) or
($_GET[mode]==home) or
((!isset($_GET[item])) ($_GET[mode]==news))
) {
// Here we do nothing
} else {
// This is where we do it
}
If we translate the above to simpler reading we could say :
if(statement)
// skip
else
// Do the stuff
I'm ofcourse looking for this
if(!statement)
// Do the stuff
Problem is, when using more statements I never seem to find the
way of doing it without having an empty {} in it, dont know if you
see my problem here however, its the best I can exmplain.
For all I know it has to be like this.

[PHP] Re: PHP alternative to Browser Hawk?
Well,
youre probably looking for the full monty, all I got is this to help you
out. Its only
some detection schemes for the browser. There is another really cool browser
detection available aswell from dynamicdrive.com developed by brothercake.
This javascript is really good and is actively developed the last years so
its
nice and updated.

Dear list.
I want to compare two text files and print the differences. The text files
contain the structure of a database, so they are very big (6000 lines).
The file looks like that:
TABLENAME#COLUMNNAME#DATATYPE#DATALENGTH#DATAPRECISION#NULLS
...
I only check if the datatype and nulls are different. If so, then the two
lines of the files will be printed.
I tried to do that and it works excellent if there aren't many
differences,
but if there are many diffs, it takes time and time.
What I do now is to read the to files to an array and get the differences
with array_diff
$array1=file('file1.txt');
$array2=file('file2.txt');
$result1 = array_diff($array1,$array2);
$result2 = array_diff($array2,$array1);
After that I do the following:
foreach ($result1 as $line1) {
foreach ($result2 as $line2) {
// compare the two lines and show the differences;
continue;
}
}
Is there a better way to do that (and of course faster)?

Re: [PHP] Pspell Functions!! problem I explain in English
Hello, I completed the innstallation for the PSPELL on my Windows2000 on Apache. What you need to do is : 1. Download the win32 port from aspell.net 2. Download the dictionaries you need 3. Install the win32 port 4. Install the dictionaries 5. Edit the php.ini and comment out the extension=php_pspell.dll (Be sure its present in your extension directory!) 6. Copy the Aspell .dll's into your system32 folder. 7. Restart Apache Now your PSPELL should be working, however you probably end up with another problem. You cant load the dictionaries... Ive spent like 4 hours now on the topic without any sollutions, it just seems that the pspell dll doesnt work well on windows. However another user at the php site on a winXP SP1 has made it work, atleast he states such.

[PHP] Sort multidimensional array - ARGH!
I have been messing around now for some hours and Im going mad! Im pulling some heavy data from mySQL with count and grouping, after this I have to calculate som values and then sort the outcome. Therefore Im not able to let mySQL do the accuall sort. So i stuff it into an array, and I need to sort the array and thats where the problem occures. 1. I declare an array : $stats_unsorted = array(); for loop start ... 1. fetch mySQL data 2. calculate values array_push($stats_unsorted,$sum,$user); // Eks. array_push($stats_unsorted,10,Ola); // Eks. array_push($stats_unsorted,-5,Kaare); // Eks. array_push($stats_unsorted,203,Nils); // Eks. array_push($stats_unsorted,-20,Lars); for loop end ... We now have, e.g. this : Array ( [0] = Array ( [0] = 10 [1] = Ola ) [1] = Array ( [0] = -5 [1] = Kaare ) [2] = Array ( [0] = 203 [1] = Nils ) [3] = Array ( [0] = -20 [1] = Tone ) ) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Then comes the sorting part, I want to sort by this : $stats_unsorted[x][0] meaning the numbers, ofcourse I would surely like to know how to sort by the names aswell, $stats_unsorted[x][1], but I would think that is easy if I could figure out the main command to sort this in the first place. Ive tried several times with array_multisort(); but I cant get this to work, :( Help would be appretiated! $stats_SORTED = ???; Thanks in advance! -- Kim Steinhaug --- There are 10 types of people when it comes to binary numbers: those who understand them, and those who don't. --- -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Re: Sort multidimensional array - ARGH!
OK, typically when finally biting the dust and asking for help the answer comes falling down from above... I figured out that a simple : sort($stats_unsorted); This would infact sort the first field of the subarrays. This would mean by throwing the results back and forth between several arrays I would in the end be able to sort whatever I would need. I could also insert back into the SQL and sort it by a select statement, but I feel Arrays are there for a reason, and there should not be any reason to bother the SQL for such a trivial thing as sorting. If any of you have another sollution I would sure love to know it, since my array infact is multidimensional, and the sort() isnt, though it for some reason solved the problem aslong as Im sorting the first field. -- Kim Steinhaug --- There are 10 types of people when it comes to binary numbers: those who understand them, and those who don't. --- -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] How do I protect downloadable files?
I would go for the 3rd alternative. There are several ways to
stream the file with the use of headers.
This way you can validate the user securely with your logon system,
and you can place the files outside the viewable web content.
Typically oputside your www / public_html folder.
I use this myself in an application I use, streaming files at 50MB
does not use alot of resources at all, atleast not the way I use.
My use for the script is to serve high resolution images to several
customers, often TIF images up to 50MB and larger.
Heres the code I use :
$distribution= filepathonserver;
if ($fd = fopen ($distribution, r)){
$size=filesize($distribution);
$fname = basename ($distribution);
header(Pragma: );
header(Cache-Control: );
header(Content-type: application/octet-stream);
header(Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\.$fname.\);
header(Content-length: $size);
while(!feof($fd)) {
$buffer = fread($fd, 2048);
print $buffer;
}
fclose ($fd);
exit;

However I forgot to mention, all theese header tricks are real swell
indeed, but you should get hold of a friend on a macintosh.
The method I use doesnt work on the macintosh, so for the mac
users we just serve the files as is, meaning they accually dont get

The other methods aswell should be tested on macintosh systems

Especially if t2 has more entries for each entry in t1, your query will

each, like:
id - rubrik - info
0 - - some info
1 - - some info
2 - - some info
3 - - some info
4 - - some info
would print out
0 - - some info
1 - - some info
2 - - some info
3 - - some info

i got like 100 matches from a database into a $num variable,
then i want to devide that by 3 aslong as it can be done, eg:

$num = $num - 3;
}
else {

Hello
Im having real problems working with large files in PHP. At
the moment Im trying to parse an error_log file, and it works
like a charm, except that the scipt stopps after parsing around
70.000 lines, or around 8MB of data. Im using this :
$file= error_log; // 280MB file
if($fp=fopen($file, r+))
{
while($line=trim(fgets($fp)))
{
// Do the business
}
}
Surely this is not the way to work with e.g. a 280MB file. I solved the
sollution by chopping the file into 7MB files, and adding a fileopen
loop around the script above which solves my problem. But -
How do I parse the 280MB file all in 1 go?
I have plenty of timeout and plenty of RAM in the php.ini file, so the
problem isnt here.

[PHP] Re: Opening large file problem - fopen
I found out that what the script accually does is choke on \n\n,
empty lines. I havnt found a way to solve this with the script,
What I do now is use TextPad and just replace all occurencies
of \n\n with \n-\n or something and it works all nice. But this
is a bad way of doing it, since the script still doesnt accually work...

Re: [PHP] Re: Opening large file problem - fopen
Hello,
Thanks for you reply. The first approach works, I succesfully
imported 1.903.541 entries into my mySQL database, phew!
Problem was that as mentioned I had to massage the data
beforehand, which with TextPad didnt take to much time but
again I love my scripts to be complete and be standalone.
Back to the 2) option, I tried another approach, just to see
how far the script woul accually go. There are ~2,1 million lines
in the error_log so I would like to see a result for the $i in this
range. But this script also chokes.
$file= error_log;
$handle = fopen ($file, rb);
$contents = ;
do {
$data = fread($handle, 8192);
if (strlen($data) == 0) {
break;
}
$contents = $data;
$temp = explode(\n,$contents);
$i = $i + count($temp);
if($i%1000==0) // Spit out every 1000 lines count
echo $i . br;
} while(true);
fclose ($handle);
echo $count;
exit;
Do you have an example, or link to a site discussing the issue, of
buffering the data?

You have two options:
1) massage your data beforehand so that your script works properly
2) buffer your input lines so that you process them only after you have
read a complete entry, since one entry may span multiple lines in your
error_log.

Re: [PHP] Re: Opening large file problem - fopen
Attached is a little textfile on 4 lines, it will choke afte 1 line
due to the \n\n problem.
I use this loop to parse it :
$file= error_log.txt;
if($fp=fopen($file, r+))
{
while($line=trim(fgets($fp)))
{
echo $line . br;

In the document with the form, it says:
form method=post action=/domenenavnbaser/ace/
enctype=application/x-www-form-urlencoded
so I guess it will work if you use this encoding. But the document is
also in UTF-8, so you may have to do UTF-8 encoding first and then URL
encode that perhaps.
It works with e.g. mozilla, I guess you could also try to see what
exactly it sends.
Someone non-Norwegian might have suggestions regardig UTF-8 documents
and URL-encoding. I think browser sends post data with same charset
as the main document...

Your first example is all correct,

This may well have come up before as it is an obvious problem/question.
Coming from a C++ background, I define a class in a header file and define
the functions for that class in a seperate source file. Now the question:
is
this possible in PHP4?
I have tried the obvious:
// myclass.inc.php
class foo
{
// constructor and destructor
function f () {}
}
// myclass.php
function foo::f ()
{
// define here
}
This gives me an error: unexpected T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM
Is this possible in PHP4, and if not, why not? It's an obvious problem,
namely for code management.

[PHP] Upload issue - The 2MB barrier...
As the default setting for file upload is set to 2MB, we usually get a problem since we cant always access the php.ini on every server our scripts should be run from. After looking in the php.ini file on one of my webhosting partners I noticed an interesting (in my opinion) thing with the post settings which read : (And to make it clear, I could easilly change the php.ini file, but due to the other clients on this webserver I cant... Im not alone here ) post_max_size = 55M Since the other setting would easilly accept say 5 MB I wonder, would it be possible to upload an image as a POST? Or something like this?

Re: [PHP] Upload issue - The 2MB barrier...
Hmm
1. We can rule out the ini_set()
2. We can now rule out the .htaccess
Tried the following :
.htaccess
php_value upload_max_filesize 5M
testfile.php
print 'upload_max_filesize = ' . ini_get('upload_max_filesize') .
\n;
The testfile succesfully states the new value, but it doesnt work.
Obviously, the documentation on php.net already told me so, so the fact
that I really tested this is kinda stupid... hehe.
That leaves me with the httpd.conf settings which is supposed
to work, also according to the PHP documentation. Just need to
locate this file first...

Can you modify the httpd.conf for your site? If so you can over-ride
the upload_max_filesize setting in that without messing up any other

This task is very simple except for one part - How do you determine when a person has left the site...apache hasn't served anymore requests from a particular ip for xx minutes ?? Hi Mike, There is no surefire way to measure the exact time a user leaves your site. The most accurate way I can think of would be to use a hidden frame on all your pages that refreshes itself every X seconds. When a user has not requested that special tracking page for more than X seconds, you can assume they have 'left' the site. However this solution seems like overkill for most purposes: you'll be wasitng server resources and slowing down your users' experience on your site.

And while you may be tempted to track only IP numbers, remember that many users are behind shared IP numbers (e.g. firewalls) which may skew your stats.

Re: [PHP] Passing vars w/refresh w/register globals off?
Well first off all it is possible to post and get at the same time. Dont know why you want to, but its kinda easy really : Example : form name=myform action=myscript.php?get1=aget2=b method=post input type=hidden name=jalla value=balla /form You can submit this form several ways, with ordinary submit button, or with javascrip submit. If you really want to keep serving variables that shouldnt be visble in the browser or in the html kode I guess the only way would be using cookies. But if the variables are defined by the users input / behavior there is surely the need of showing the variables one place or another. You mentioned that there were up to a 100 variables to be passed here. Was that pr user or in total? Sending like a 100 variables with GET would be a bad idea all together, since there are limits on how many caracters the URL can hold. Some years ago alot of browsers had a limit on 128 characters, this is imporved by the years but still the only way to feed long sets of data is through post. If all your variables can be stored on the server, assigning a unique ID to the session would make you able to store everything in the database as someone mentioned earlier. This wasy all you need is pass the ID within the browser. By checking the ID against the unique session on the server you will also eliminate tampering with the data. Webpages that has like a 100 hidden fields doesnt look very professional, but hey - it works. The other thing is that forms can also talk with eachother nicely, what I mean is that you can share the informastion with the help of javascript. Storing all the information you need for later in a form somewhere in the html page, then when you build the refresh url you just pick out the data you want to use from the different form elements (document.form.variable.value).

All you do is calculate all the seconds there is in 125 days and add it up. If you want to go back to the future, you subtract it from time().

[PHP] Arrays and performance
Something Ive wondered about as I started working with XML. Importing huge XML files, and converting theese to arrays works indeed very well. But I am wondering if there are any limits to how many arrays the PHP can handle when performance is accounted for. Say I create an array from a XML with lots of childs, say we are talking of upto 10 childs, which would give 10 dimensional arrays. Say we then have 10.000 records, or even 100.000 records. Will this be a problem for PHP to handle, or should I break such a prosess into lesser workloads (meaning lesser depth in the array)?

Re: [PHP] Arrays and performance
Thanks for your reply! Im going to use this for a backup system for our webstore system, where some of our customers have *alot* of products. Given the structure of the database with categories and images 5000 unique products quickly gives 3x = 15000 arrays. But again, how often would the client need to revert the backup? Ive never needed to do it for now, but I still want to do this backup system in XML (Looks kinda up to date, :), and at the same time know that it will eventually work - even for the customers that infact has alot of products in their system. The alternative, would be that customers with x products would only have access to mySQL dump. Or to have a script that evaluates the XML file and prompts the user that this file is to large for automatic import / revert. a) From what I understand of your answer you're telling me that PHP itself will not have any problems working with 1.000.000.000 arrays, aslong as there are enough ram and processing power available, and that the timeout is extended. Or would the PHP die a painfull death as soon as it gets to much data? Could we coclude the follwing, XMLfile 200 MB = No PHP! b) I should do some benchmarking, to find the magic marker for how much XML data that is affordable to grab when done on a webserver with other clients to prevent angry customers or failures due to factory timeout setting to 30 secs. -- Kim Steinhaug --- There are 10 types of people when it comes to binary numbers: those who understand them, and those who don't. --- Raditha Dissanayake [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi, I belive PHP should be able to handle it but it's a bad idea.

It's so much easier to use the mod (%) operator:
using the mod operator, you can check if a variable is divisible by some
other number without leaving a remainder.
For this example, we want to change every other row, so we would compare
our $count against 2 to see if it leaves a remainder:
$bg = ($count%2==0) ? #00 : FF;
What this line does is FIRST, it checks to see if $count/2 leaves no
remainder. If this is true, it sets the $bg var to #00
If it is false, it sets $bg to #FF
It only requires the addition of one line of code, and to replace your row
background color with a php variable.
Also, you don't need to use printf(), since you aren't specifying any
formatting.
See code below:
code:---
$result = mysql_query(SELECT * FROM albums where id 15);
$Count = @mysql_num_rows($result);
echo table border=1 cellpadding=3 cellspacing=0
bordercolor='#00'\n;
echo trtd bgcolor='#66'ID/tdtd
bgcolor='#66'ARTIST/tdtd bgcolor='#66'TITLE/tdtd
bgcolor='#66'LABEL/tdtd bgcolor='#66'PRICE/td/tr\n;
for ($count = 0; $count $Count; $count++) {
// Extract post details from database
$myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result);
$id = $myrow ['id'];
$artist = $myrow ['artist'];
$title = $myrow ['title'];
$label = $myrow ['label'];
$price = $myrow ['price'];
$bg = ($count%2==0) ? #00 : FF;
echo tr
bgcolor='.$bg.'td$id/tdtd$artist/tdtd$title/tdtd$label/td

}

Well, first of all Ill just scrap you script since this one is so easy
its better to do it from scratch.
OK, somewhere in your script you have the code that accually
aoutputs the tables you are working with. Im refferring to lines
here, and Im meaning the bottom of this document which is
the scipt you posted, and I have numbered the lines.
Overview of your script.
Line 5 - we print out the table header
Line 11 - 23 is the loop which prints out all the lines, or rows.
Line 24 closes the table.
So what we have to do?
First we need to declare the values we want to use as backround
colours, lets use logical names :
(fig a)
$backcolor1=#fafafa;
$backcolor2=#c0c0c0;
$backcolor=$backcolor1;// we assign color 1
This code has to be written before the loop starts, so somewhere
before line 11.
In the loop (11-23) we need to switch between the colours where
we write the colour of the tr. So we write something like :
(fig b)
echo 'tr style=background-color:' . $backcolor . ';';
// continue with the rest of td... /td/tr here
// which is - your code.
This will print out the first background color, nice. Now we need it
to switch color, so we need to add a little logic. This will be inserted
right before the loop ends (infact, you can put it where ever you like
aslong as its in the loop).
(fig c)
if($backcolor=backcolor1)
$backcolor=$backcolor2;
else
$backcolor=$backcolor1;
As you see above the logic is quite simple, if the color is 1 - we set it
to 2,
else we set it to 1. If you think of it, if you process this logic over and
over again
you will infact get 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2 all the time, :) Nice!
There you have it, and I hope you got the hang of it.
To take your code and implement my colorswither all you need to do is,
1. On line 21 replace #00 width $backcolor
2. Insert the logic (figc), all lines, into line 19
3. Place fig a in line 4.

[PHP] Re: Storing images
Well as far as I can see you have 2 options. a) Store them directly on disc b) Store them in a database (eg. mySQL) I would think that a) is the best way without doubt, since it doest use any extra processing power to serve the images to your visitors as its only the webserver doing the usuall stuff. The b) option has a better advantage regarding the backup function, as its easier backuping a database than backing up a directory with scripts anyway. (Unless you are thinking FTP, but right now im thinking automatied scripts) On the otehr hand I have succesfully installed ZIP ability with PHP, which makes backing up directories no problem. So all in all it depends on where you stand if you know what I mean. The database sollution puts extra demand on the database as it constantly has to query the database to get the images all the time. So if you are thinking about the health of your server, and how quick you want your site to accessible for your visitors I would stick to a) I dont think it good practise to store images into the database either. -- Kim Steinhaug --- There are 10 types of people when it comes to binary numbers: those who understand them, and those who don't. --- Paul Marinas [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi, i was wondering which is the best way to store images.
