[PHP] Misbehaved Script...
Hi folks: Have any of you guys encountered the following error: CGI Error The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers. The headers it did return are: My Scripts that require user interaction and self modification often encounter this. I have no clue as to what's going on. I have to reboot the server when this happens and it seems to fix the problem... I don't think this has anything to do with my scripts... Could someone please suggest whats wrong... My Server has Microsoft IIS 4.0 on Win NT 4 and is running PHP 4.2.1. Thanks in advance. Spike -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Hi,
I want to make a web page that can retrive data from my tables
automatically, periodically.
Does PHP have some timer control ?
I know we can do with JavaScript (setInterval() or setTimeOut()) but I
cann't join java script with PHP.
I've tried make simple script with JavaScript to open new window that
contain PHP script for show current time every 5 seconds.
function showData() {
newWindow = Window.open('data.php','screen');
}
function loadData() {
setInterval('showData()','5000')
}
data.php :
?
echo date(l dS of F Y h:i:s A);
?
in result, data.php will reload every 5 seconds, but it doesn't change.
Can someone help me and give me suggestion ?
TIA
regards,
Budi Kelana
Not quite sure what you want to do... but why don't you just
enclose your JavaScript in a PHP Script...
echo language = javascript
echo 'function Afunc(){
}';
Or alternatively, this is the way I would approach it (and forgive
me if I'm getting a head of myself and misunderstood the question):
- if you are on a Linux/UNIX type machine you could use
Unix tools to achieve the desired effect by time intervals...
One way of doing this is to implement code that utilizes
the cron utility. Use cron to execute a script at the desired time
intervals, the output of what ever script is executed can hence
be written to a file and read using php and finally spatt out onto your
page...
Hope this helps...
Spike...

[PHP] Re: Code for off-site Maintenance?
Andre Dubuc [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... Soon, I will be transferring my site to go on-line with my IP. Since I've never managed anything off-site, I have a very fundamental question: What are the usual procedures with respect to maintaining a site, that is, accessing the PostgreSQL database for corrections, deletions, etc? I personally would create a user-friendly front end to enable changes online... In the long run this would save time... (I'd obviously code in php)... I would not want to continuously be loading and uploading and remodifying record changes as that would be time consuming in the long run... As your DB grows, obviously time taken to keep transferring the files via ftp (I am assuming as most hosts have this capability) would keep increasing though by a small factor but eventually this all adds up and becomes an inconvinnience... Obviously another thing to keep in mind is that most of the hosts I have seen in Canada are on a UNIX platform so if you are to create a user -friendly front end for yourself you will have to be familiar with the UNIX chmod settings i.e keep in mind writable scripts will have to be set to 666 and this would usually require familiarity with SSH as that would be how you would alter the settings (its all online)... Anywayz as you are using PHP you are probably already familiar with UNIX tools and utilities... (Which may not even be necessary as some hosts run the insecure MS Web Server software hence run on a MS platform risking defacement)... Anywayz, those are just my views on the issue... One idea that occured to me: mirror the site here, complete with database, and modify stuff at this end, then upload to the IP. Or should I create some form of management code that would allow me, using php, to access and modify the stuff on-line. I've looked at Zope, Midguard, and another one, but they seem like over-kill (and I would have to change a lot of my code to use them). I would appreciate any input pointing how I should proceed -- I'm a total newbie in this area. Any pointers, or where to look, would be greatly appreciated.

With respect to the database size that I'm searching in, right now it's about 20MB but I'm guessing that within the next 24 months it will be up around 2GB. The first field I'm searching in is a CHAR(255) field. The second field is a small blob and usually is only about 1 paragraph of text. The thrid field is an entire HTML document and can be many many pages long. Ouch that sounds nasty... I've only had to search a 4MB database and tried to cut time spent searching as much as I could... I tried every thing from storing values in an array to various SQL commands...

If you can keep it sorted at all times I am quite sure you would be able to find a decent search algorithm (Binary search - I have never applied the concept of a binary search algorithm to a DB before)... Then again the slowness could have been due to the type of DB I was searching or due to the location of the DB...

[PHP] Re: Newbie getting close, form submission
Work by process of elimination... Here goes...
Start with testing whether your mail will actually send
the mail by executing a one line script... Just out of curiosity:
how come your host is running an old version of php...
Test the following:
?php
( [EMAIL PROTECTED], Testing, Just a Test, );
?
if possible try and run it as a script by connecting to your
host via telnet or whatever (I am assuming the platform
is UNIX or Linux):
php MyMailScript
If you are using Linux or UNIX and this doesn't work then
there ought to be something wrong with the sendmail file...
If you are on a MS Windows platform then there ought to
be a problem in the ini file with the smtp setting...
If it sends then we can start sticking echo statements in
your script to see where the breakdown is...
Drop another line on the news group if you still need help,
I'll be behind this monitor for a while as will others I'm
sure...

Before I started to read up on sessions, I simply used my own form of session management by sending all relevant variables either via URL or via form fields to the subsequent pages. Obviously this method leaves a bunch of holes as well, but I KNOW that my application is always pure and simple HTML, doesn't have browser issues, doesn't have cookie issues, so 100% of the internet community can use it. Does anyone out there have a view/practise when it comes to session/cookies? - basically I am still not convinced that using sessions/cookies is a good idea, but I would love to be educated as to why I should... The issue on Advantages and disadvantages of Cookies has been discussed numerous amounts of times... There was also debate on using I.P vs Cookies, I see from your address that you are based in S.A. meaning there is still numerous amounts of people set on dial up hence allocating someone a specific id via dial up would be totally out of the question (dial up IP changes)... Through the discussions I was convinced that Cookies are and ought to be the best way to go... Most people use IE/Netscape which does not ask if you want to accept or reject cookies like the browsers that are generic to Linux namely Konqueror and Lynx... Furthermore, I don't know too many people that scrimmage through their hard drive searching for Cookies to delete... besides most people (unless they have done a great deal of web programming) don't know what a Cookie is, so if they actually do get prompted to accept or reject a Cookie the odds of them Accepting are equal to the odds of them rejecting (probably even higher considering most prompts require a Yes)... I'd say Cookies and Sessions are quite reliable... Well, they are the safest method I know to go about the problem of monitoring ones surfing habits...

Do you have access to the Server Settings i.e. were you doing this yourself?

Secondly - not trying to offend you or be conceited but I have to ask this coz no one on these groups can guess the others comptency level in a particular aspect - are you using Front Page simply as an easy non-programmer-type style to create your pages or are you using the coding aspect to it (with line number list and all), if you are using it the former this won't work... You may also want to check whether files with extension php are set to viewable in Front Page, I believe this is under Tools... I personally wouldn't recommend using Front Page to create PHP ran Web Applications (but that might be coz I am slow to pickup on how MS products operate)... Good Luck...

Firstly I want to know if PHP has pointers (I know it uses dereferencing values via ) and if it does use pointers does it let you do stuff like this (or does its nature not let you interact with the lower level hardware components?

If you allowed for a different subdomain, you could have a php script in the file that runs X generating Code that is written to a file that runs Y... using fputs($fileY, $StartASessionForY); Then start spitting out Code for y using a write function or a fputs function...

[PHP] Re: Final Year Computer Science Project involving PHP
Hey Serdar: Have you ever heard of a piece of Software called 1st Place... You can create a simulation of that... It is used for Cooperative Education Services... We have it in place here at Memorial University (Canada)... It gives coordinators of various cooperative education programmes a decent way of keeping track of Employers for Interns participating in their programmes, Students enrolled as interns, schedules for job interviews... e.t.c A similar type of software is Place Pro... Here is what happens: There is a user friendly front end... When an Employer enlists to the program (i.e. when they want to contact students from a particular field they contact our office and are entered into the DataBase) All relevant info. is stored... Queries are in the form of forms... and are made against a couple of Databases in our Case Student.db (holding Students), Company.db (holding Company info), Schedule (I am not sure what table that one is held in)... Noticably they are all Paradox Tables... There are Lock Mechanisms that prevent Overwriting of a particular Row given two people are logged on at the same time... Such a project would depend on the ability to which your mind can conjure up pictures relating to such a project... Alot of features are taken into account... p/s: when engaging in such a project you ought to take into account security... You don't want every Tom, Dick and Harry to get at your Data (Hence the User Friendly Front End Should be straight Forward as well as Secure)... Good Luck in Your final decision... Spike... Garland Foster [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... Hi Serdar, Let me check my bag of sadly archived projects mmmhyes I have a good idea for an A project: A RELAX NG validator for PHP. You can base your work on Jing, a RNG validator in Java. The advantages are clear a) 100% feasible (if everything fails just watch how Jing does it) b) Lot of CS theory to cover (Nullable patterns, ambiguous grammars, tree grammars, derivatives, etc) c) Good documentation d) Really useful for the PHP community e) Original f) Technically challenging g) You can get some support/help from the PHP community (I guess) What do you think? Garland. Hi, Please read the rest of this email if you're interested in helping final year Computer Science student (yes, that's me...) by giving him some ideas on his final year project very possible involving PHP and SQL... I will start next autumn my third year of Computer Science studies. I have to carry out a large programming project in this final year. These projects are supervised and assessed via a dissertation and an oral presentation. The project alone counts for 20% of my whole degree, so it is quite important. A variety of project proposals have been made available for our consideration already but they all look very dull and boring. We are also encouraged to come up with our own project ideas. The onus is on us to define the problem boundaries, to investigate possible solutions, and to present the results verbally, in writing and (possibly) to demonstrate in action. They like having projects that find solutions (or improve a current sloution) real life problems. This summer, I am doing an internship in a Swiss IT company, working on a Content Management System implemented with PHP and MySQL. This will obviously give me some valuable experience with these languages (I sort of already learn them quite well...) and most of our tuition in Uni is based on Java. If you can think of an interestin final year project involving hese languages, it would be very kind to share it with me... In order to obtain a very high mark, the project needs to be challenging. For example, having an e-commerce web-site using a Database is seen as a weak, non-innovative project...

[PHP] Searching a Paradox Table with my PHP Script...
Hallo folks: I have a bit of an issue with Paradox Table Searching... I have a fairly large table (4MB+), here is the problem: When I run a search for an element in the Table on my localhost which is running Apache and php 4.1, I have no issues with speed... However when I run it on the Server at my work place, which is running IIS Server (I am not sure which version), and the same PHP version on my Workstation it takes ages to execute... I have gotten suggestions and have revised my Script over and over using odbc_exec() with SQL commands SELECT myColumn FROM myTable, I have used a COUNT SQL command suggested on this forum, My general algorithm is as follows... 1) I create an Array using odbc_fetch_array this Array contains one column from the Table I am searching... 2) Keep trying to matchup each element in the array against the validation element being checked... returning found within a sequential loop... and eventually Not Found... 3) I suppose the sequential loop is whats killing me, but the table is not ordered hence I am forced to do a sequential search.. Does anyone else have an idea for a quicker and much more efficient algorithm... Once again the issue of Speed is a non-factor on my local machine running Apache but it does become a factor when I run it on our Server, which is running an IIS Server... Thanks in advance...

Re: [PHP] Searching a Paradox Table with my PHP Script...
Is the table layout, indices, amount of data and ODBC connection the same in both cases? How long is ages? If minutes then is it a DNS problem in connecting to the server computer? You could try this by getting an item of data from a new table containing only one row. Do I understand correctly, you have an unordered array and you are comparing every element with every record (also unordered) from a database? On my localhost (My Work Station) it takes 2 seconds to run the same search on the same Table... And on the work place Server it takes 30+ seconds... I think I have figured out the problem, it should be to do with the fact that I am connecting to a Table on the Network that is also being used by another Application (1st Place 95)... And at current 8 people are using this Application and constantly use it during working hours... I'll try the search at night and see if there is a difference... Thanks for the response... If so then I agree. I'd order the php array (either ascending or descending) and ask for the database records similarly ordered (e.g. select myColumn from myTable order by myColumn). Then you only need make the comparisons until the value is lower (or higher) than the one it is being compared with. Make sure there is an index on myColumn in the database. Sorting the Array will cost more time I think dependent on the Sort Approach... Creating the Array takes 1 or so secs... I should try and run it as a Script and set a timer... Thanks again though...

Your problem should be about file permissions. Try to give full
permissions
to the IIS_USR for the Paradox tabel you want to extract data from.
Let me know if you have any other questions

I wasn't in the office hence haven't visited this group for a while... Here's an idea though I still may not understand the whole situation but from what I think it is here goes: I guess you will have to mix javascript and php in the following manner... use onclick for a particular HTML variable and create a function in Java Script that runs when you click this and returns true or writes to an HTML variable say input type= hidden name=hasClicked value=false... the HTML value will give this hidden variable the value true when clicked otherwise it will be defaulted at false... You can use document.write.formName.hasClicked.value = true... Then continue with: if($hasClicked == true) Run the Script... This will mean your script won't run until OK is pressed...

Re: [PHP] Re: PHP does not work??
I forgot to point out another disadvantage of turning on register_globals
apart from that of security is that when you are sending a page with a
form to the same page, e.g:
form name=whatever action=$PHP_SELF method=post
there is a tendency to lose info.. E.g.
If you are sending text separated by spaces you only manage to
send the first word this can be overcome by using the
htmlspecialchars('value') method to evaluate value...
turning on globals is to make the coding easier but has a
good deal of disadvantages...

If by hyperlink you mean the URL in the URL bar of their browser,

Most browsers will not display POST data to their users (easily) but
it's never truly hidden from view. Any data that your users are

You would have to reconfigure the smtp outgoing server in your php.ini file in the mail function as follows: SMTP=smtp.myHost.whatever I believe the php.ini file in Linux uses sendmail... In the php.ini simply search for [mail function] and make the necessary changes as above...

[PHP] Re: paradox
I've been having the same error for the past couple of days, I have posted on a couple of news goups with no response... I even have a posting on this one... I posted one on the paradox news group and some very rude individual gave a sarcastic response and led me back here (I think he was feeling like a don coz he owns some software firm)... Anywayz, I am quite convinced that it is to do with the configuration when setting up the connection to your database (I haven't come around that yet), kind of the same way you connect to an access DB. I don't think it has anything to do with your source... I was told that people link their php Scripts to paradox tables via. ODBC. However, I'd appreciate it if you would throw any further suggestions if you have any...

[PHP] Re: File Retrieval, unusual
Do you really need the quotation marks when you are simply using php to spit out your HTML? Unless it is absolutely necessary php still spits out the correct HTML code without uneccessary quotations... echo a href= $address; I am quite sure this should work for the link tag... Correct me if I am wrong but I know if works with the other HTML tags... The EXTRA quotation marks usually aren't necessary... Spike...

I am in the process of analyzing the following situation and wanted to see if any of you might have done this or something similar before... Each day we have a person who is responsible for going to a secure web site ,logging in, (which redirects to) a JAVA applet. This JAVA applet has a set of tabs across the top, one of which is labeled 'Daily Records'. The tab is clicked on and then a set of zip files is listed for download. All done manually every day. What we would like to do is develop some sort of automated method to do this file retrieval using PHP (as a stand alone executable run by a CRON job) since it has excellent file handling functions. We could use PERL too. Unfortunately the company we retrieve these files from will not make them available in a more convenient manner because if we do it for you, we have to do it for everyone. My arguement was that we already had access, there was no need for a JAVA applet layer of abstraction. The arguement fell on deaf ears, leaving me in this position. Does anyone have any ideas? I am trying some things, but looking for 'eye-openers' and 'ah-ha's!' TIA! Jay -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Seems about right, however by default output is printed to a Page
unless you are running your script in the command prompt what you
might want to do to avoid messiness is redirect every printout confirmation
of your for loop to the std.error (I am not too sure what the path
is: it should be in the manuals though - php.net)... Or alternatively
to a file using the fopen(fileName, w+); then using puts() or fwrite
to write the output contents...

Hi!
Cookies makes me go AGHH!!
Please help me with this:
I am setting a cookie like this in my loginscript:
setcookie(devProcCookie, cookie value.|.time(), 31536000); // Set
cookie
header(Location: inside.php);
exit;
So far it works!
But when I go to the inside.php page that looks like this:
$cookie_life = 30;
// The cookie lives for 1 hour
$tok = explode(|, $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS[devProcCookie]);
$cookie_value = $tok[0];
$creation_time = $tok[1];
if((time()-$creation_time) $cookie_life)
// If time expires go to cookie_expired.php
{
// cookie has expired so delete it.
setcookie(devProcCookie, );
header (Location: cookie_expired.php);
exit;
}
setcookie(devProcCookie, cookie value.|.time(), 31536000); // If
time hasnt expired update the cookie time
Something happens in netscape. Everything works fine in IExplorer.
Netscape says:

[PHP] Re: Setting Cookies in netscape and explorer?
As opposed to using the Cookies Array HTTP_COOKIES_VAR
could you not just use explode the $devProcCookie using
if (isset($devProcCookie)){
$tok = explode(|, $devProcCookie);
}
//Note this will only work if the global variables in your php.ini files
are turned on...
I have no idea why it can't read the index $devProcCookie in the
Cookies Array if you figure it out though please post up...
