very quick and *very* dirty, put this in top of your file
extract($_POST);
and voila, you bypassed registerglobals off

Subject: [PHP] Help with proper post method...


OK I am migrating some sites from an old school server to one with MySQL 4 

newest PHP, however certain things aren't running because of the
register_globals variable on the new server is set to OFF for security
reasons.

What I am trying to do is post like so with hidden variables
form method=post action=display_info.php
The display_info.php says Undefined variables in the file, because of 
course
since globals is off it's not being passed to it from the first form.

Now I'm not trying to become the master here, but need a quick and dirty 
way
of patching these programs to accept the hidden passed values so I don't
have to go and re-code everything...

Any links to a good  example etc would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Joey

Re: [PHP] Locking in PHP (Question for PHP Gurus)

2005-04-06 Thread Lars B. Jensen
I would use a cronjob to make the entry rather than a user, why let the poor 
guy wait for you to create the content

You may have 2 requests both trying to
create the new cache entry, but that is much cleaner than having to deal 
with locking.  Do a tempnam() to get a temp file to write to and then do a 
rename() if this is a filesystem thing.

Re: [PHP] functions vs classes

2005-04-03 Thread Lars B. Jensen
Novice PHPer, and i am wondering why one would use a function instead of a 
class (or object)? They seem to server very similar in use.
All depends on the specific use and situation - pros and cons by both 
models, for speed and performance, I mostly use optimized functions sorted 
out in structured files for easy reuse, rather than objects. PHP5 seem to 
embrase object orientation more, so lets see if a war starts again - it's 
religion. Think before you program.

The way I see it, is a function if for repeated use in a project specific 
manner, where as a class could be used for many projects.
It's precisely the same, if you include a file with your class or include a 
file with your functions, whats the difference ? none.

Hello,
I'm using FCKeditor to edit content on my site.
But the content it produces escapes all the   (double quote) characters 
from my HTML, and replaces it with \ (backslash-double quote).

Is the a function that I can use to change it back?
Does str_replace() do it.. if so is this how I use it:
str_replace('\', '', $_POST['FCKeditor1']);

Re: [PHP] PHP 5 with Apache 2.0

2005-02-14 Thread Lars B. Jensen
I've been running FreeBSD 5.3, Apache 2.0.53, PHP 5.0.3 with mySQL 4.1.8 
without any issues in production. Unless you rely on some spooky extentions, 
I wouldnt think you should have any problems running - that you ask this 
question here, tells me you aint running any such spooky things.

I'm facing about 100k unique users a month running some 5 million pageviews 
with extensive load for the database - this backed on a single server with a 
Xeon processor and 2gb of memory.

So from here, go for it mate

I know this question probably gets asked a lot, but I'm setting up a Web 
Server shortly and am debating going with PHP 5 on Apache 2.0 or 1.3. In 
short, is PHP 5, when combined with either Apache 1.3 or 2.0 on Linux or 
FreeBSD, ready for a production environment? This is, of course, an 
opinion, but back your opinion with as much fact as possible.

Also, if PHP 5 is NOT ready, do you feel PHP 4.3 is ready for production 
with Apache 2.0?

Re: [PHP] Zend Performance Suite 3.6 and PHP5

Thx Matthew,
Meanwhile I got the software from Zend and tried to install it on my server. 
After manipulating some files to make the install script run, it segfaults 
later in the install. It seems, 3.6 isnt forward compatible and I've given 
up to install the product on the new server.

Pricing for the newer versions make me look other ways

I'm almost certain that PHP 5 was supported starting with Zend Performance 
Suite 4.0. You can log into your company's Zend account to download the 
software that you have access to.

[PHP] Zend Performance Suite 3.6 and PHP5

2005-01-23 Thread Lars B. Jensen
I've taken over the system administration of our servers, and have been 
migrating from PHP4 on Redhat, to PHP5 on a FreeBSD system setup.

Few questions,
Is this version of the ZPS compatible with PHP5, I mean, the software was 
bought back in dec. 2003 and never updated since. (the new Zend Platform is 
outrageously priced, and I'll never get that through on the IT budget here)

Does anybody know where to download the source for this, the old (and 
ofcourse not working here anymore) admin didnt keep the source, so all I got 
is the name and serial. (and Zend supporters seem to be on vacation)

With the Zend Platform out of the way, should I look more toward eg. the 
APC ?

[PHP] Encoding problems using phpMyAdmin

2005-01-16 Thread Lars B. Jensen
I seem to have problems getting phpMyAdmin showing shift_jis properly, after 
upgrading to PHP5 on my FreeBSD box. mySQL is running version 4.1.8.

My application works excellent, the problem only exist in phpmyadmin.

Anyone ran into this problem before ? I've tried to google for it, but didnt 
really find anything on it ?

I did as a test update the phpmyadmin sourcecode to force shift_jis charset 
rather than UTF8 which it seems to prefer, to no apparent difference.

Re: [PHP] Re: Fw: Identify which function called another

2005-01-13 Thread Lars B. Jensen
Is there any way, I from one function can identify which other function 
called it, without parameter passing the name manually ?
I still question whether its correct to design a function which requires 
this. I thought the idea of encapsulating code inside a function is that 
its non-dependent/black-boxed still for every rule there is an 
exception!
Need it for my identify why the hell this error occured, send email to the 
admins with full debug, server variables, time, pop that into the 
errorhandling database for cross referencing if it happened before.

Practically, yesterday, we spend a few hours tracing a special error 
occuring extremely seldom and ended up making some crappy debugging on a 
livesite.

Please don't post twice in an hour if you haven't yet received your 
answer. With that in mind, I have an answer for you. :-)
maybe Lars thought his post had disappeared into /dev/null, not altogether 
strange considering the fluctuating time delays in posts being sent out! 
then maybe he's an impatient s.o.b ;-)
Or maybe Lars has multiple email accounts, and realized he was sending from 
the wrong one forgetting he had authorized it beforehand.

Re: [PHP] $_GET $_POST simultaneously

2005-01-11 Thread Lars B. Jensen
Is it just me or ... why on earth would you want to populate both GET and 
POST arrays through this obscure way of coding ?

If you really have a form where you dont have a clue wether your data comes 
from GET or POST, it should be way less effort to copy one array to another 
or have a lookup function to return the given value.

Hello,
If I create form like this

both arrays contain appropriate variables when submitted:

::: $_POST :::

(
[action] = modify
...

Now what I am interested in is if this is valid behaviour regarding HTTP

Second, you dont need the two lines, write the following to get the space
?php
   echo $fusername.' '.$lusername;
?
And you should have your nicely formatted name right there
?
 print $fusername ;
 print $lusername;
