from:"Merlin Morgenstern"


Hi there,

I am having some trouble with utf8_decode(). Somehow the function 
returns output=input


e.g.:
$input = '%20%C3%9Cbersetzung%20franz';
$output = utf8_decode($input);
echo $input.'br'.$output;

My goal is to decode the utf8, trim the input and encode with urlencode();

This is the string which I would like to get: %C3%9Cbersetzung+franz

Trim does not work and if I place urlencode() directly on the input it 
will encode the % sign to %25 and produce therfore a mixture of encodings.


Thank you for any help on that!

[PHP] correct character decoding


Hi there,

I am trying to find a solution for decoding the same string from 2 
different character sets (UTF-8, Latin-1)


Looks like in the case of latin-1 I need to add utf8_encode before to 
get the same results. Here is an example


// utf-8
$input = urldecode('%20%C3%9Cbersetzung%20franz');
$output = trim(($input));
$output2 = urlencode($output);
echo $input.'br'.$output.'br'.$output2;
echo 'a href='.$output2.'output 2/a';

echo 'hr';
// latin 1
$input = urldecode('%DCbersetzung+franz');
$out = trim(utf8_encode($input));
$out2 = urlencode($out);
echo $input.'br'.$out.'br'.$out2;
echo 'a href='.$out2.'output 2/a';


The latin-1 seems to need the utf8-encode to get the same result. Has 
anybody an idea on how to solve this? I need a function that works for 
latin-1 and UTF-8.


Thank you in advance for any help,

Merlin

It seems to me that you're probably missing a urldecode() on $input
before you attempt to decode the utf8 chars ?



That's right, this was missing. Thank you. However, this leeds to 
another problem which I described in a another posting.

Hello Louis, thank you that solved the problem. Looks like I did not use

[PHP] notices nightmare - looking for a regex solution

2011-06-01 Thread Merlin Morgenstern


Hi there,

I am working on a pretty huge site with thousands of files with php 
code. Unfortunatelly the app throws a ton of notices du to missing '' in 
arrays. Of course I could simply disable the output on the dev server to 
surpress notices, but I would rather like to get it fixed.


Has somebody a good idea on how to fix this automated somehow with regex?

The vars are right now: $var[element] and should be $var['element']

I was looking into sed, but I was hoping that there is also a way in 
php. Has anybody a hint on how to get the regex done?


I appreciate any help on that.

Best regards,

HI Again :-)

the building of my array seems fine. Here is what goes wrong:

If you use this array: 	$internal_links = array(array('phrase'=Beagle 
Welpen, 'link'=http://wolframalpha.com;), array('phrase'=Welpen, 
'link'=http://google.com;));


Then it will fail as well. This is because the function will replace 
Beagle Welpen with the hyperlink and after that replace the word 
welpen inside the hyperlink again with a hyperlink.


Is there a function which will not start looking for the words at the 
beginnning of the text for each replacement, but simply continue where 
it did the last replacement?


Thank you for any help,

Merlin

[PHP] preg_replace question

2011-01-24 Thread Merlin Morgenstern


Hi there,

I am trying to replace certain words inside a text with php. 
Unfortunatelly my function is creating invalid html as output.


For example the words beagle and welpen have to be replaced inside 
this text: süße knuffige Beagle Welpen ab sofort


My result looks like this:
zwei süße knuffige a href=/bsp/hunde,beagleBeagle a 
href=/bsp/hundeWelpen/a/a


The problem is, that my function is not closing the href tag before it 
starts to replace the next item.


Here is the code: 


// create internal links
function internal_links($str, $links, $limit) {
foreach($links AS $link){
$pattern[$k] = ~\b($link[phrase])\b~i;
$replace[$k] = 'a href='.$link[link].'\\1/a';
$k++;
}
return preg_replace($pattern,$replace,$str, $limit);

[PHP] Autorename extracted files from zip-archive

2011-01-19 Thread Merlin Morgenstern


Hello,

I am using shell_exec to uncompress zip files which works fine, but has 
one big problem. Whenever the zip-archive containes an already existing 
file name, it will overwrite the current one. I need the file to be 
extracted and autorenamed.


This is the code line:

$output = shell_exec('unzip -jo '.$filename.' -d '.$path);

Does anybody know a way on how to autorename existing files?

I thought about a workaround on extracting to a tmp folder and then 
moving to the proper directory while renaming the files if they already 
exists. Unfortunatelly I could not find a way to do this.


Thank you for any help on this.

[PHP] Hot to replace words with preg_replace without duplicates

2010-12-18 Thread Merlin Morgenstern


Hi there,

I want to create a function which will replace certain words out of a 
text with internal links. That works so far, but if I have two matches, 
I end up with invalid html code.


Example:
Welpen  /hunde
Chihuahua Welpen/hunde,chihuahua

function seo_internal_links($str, $links, $limit) {
foreach($links AS $link){
$pattern[$k] = ~\b($link[phrase])\b~i;
$replace[$k] = 'a href='.$link[link].'\\1/a';
$k++;
}
return preg_replace($pattern,$replace,$str, $limit);
}

seo_internal_links($ad[text], $seo_internal_links, $limit = 1);

This will result in:
a href=//hunde,chihuahuaChihuahua a href=/hundeWelpen/a/a

Has somebody an idea on how to avoid this? I would also like to limit 
the amount of hits, but the limit in preg_replace accounts only for 
unique words, not the whole array.


Thank you for any hint,

Merlin

[PHP] export from one server to another

2010-06-15 Thread Merlin Morgenstern


HI there,

I am thinking about building a partner network where partners can export 
content to my server which will then be imported. It should be as easy 
as possible for the partner and not rely on any special php functions.



The best way to do this I guess is to deliver them a php file which will 
create a xml structure that I can import. The problem I have now is, how 
to transfer this xml-file to my server? Of course I could do this via 
FTP, but then they need to have FTP enabled inside their php 
installation. This might scare some partners away.


Does anybody have a good suggestion on how to do this?

Thank you for any hint,

[PHP] 404 redirects stolen by provider

2010-04-09 Thread Merlin Morgenstern


Hello,

I am running a website under apache and php where I do redirects on 404 
errors:


apache conf:
ErrorDocument 404 /subapp_members/search_user.php

This is done to allow ULRs with usernames like this:
www.server.com/username

The PHP script search_user.php looks in a db if the user name is 
existent and if yes shows his member page. If the name is not existent 
it displays an internal 404 message.


This worked perfectly for recent years until now. Some users complain 
that they do see advertisement instead of the page. A research showed 
that they are using a provider called unitymedia. As soon as a site 
has a page not found error it redirects them to their own advertisement 
page. This is true for all pages on the net. e.b. ebay.com/testing shows 
their advertisement.


Has somebody an idea on how to fix that from my site?

It looks like the ISP is looking at the header response codes and 
capturing the 404 ones. I've seen other ISP's do this and return a 
search results page of their own sponsored content.


I think the best way round this is to use the .htaccess redirect rules 
instead to deliver the correct content:

RewriteRule ^(.+) /users.php?username=$1

Of course that's only a simple example, and you might need to tweak it 
a bit.


This way, no extra header codes are sent to the user, and can't be 
captured by anyones ISP.


Thanks,
Ash
http://www.ashleysheridan.co.uk




This sounds like the best solution to me. The only problem is that my 
regex knowledge is pretty limited. The command:

RewriteRule ^(.+) /subapp_members/search_user.php

leads to an internal server error, the syntax seams ok?! Could you help 
with the correct rewrite rule?


The script search_user.php gets the user name and looks it up in the db:
$parameter = explode('/', $_SERVER[REQUEST_URI]);
$user_name = addslashes($parameter[1]);

So I would need to redirect all potential 404s to that script. How could 
that rewriterule look like?

example.com/username, then use something like:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /subapp_members/search_user.php?member=$1 [L]

This is likely to not do what you want from it, but it's the closest I
can guess as to what you want.

Have a read of http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_rewrite.html

   



This will not work, as I do have a bunch of other redirects inside the 
page.


What might work is a rule, that redirects urls that do not have a full 
stop or slash inside. Is this possible? My regex knowledge is

Surely what you need is xor (exclusive-or)
I can't believe a programmer has never heard of that!

(page==1 XOR page==2) AND page==3



HEllo Peter,

thank you for your reply. I know about XOR, but unfortunatelly I might 
not know how to use it properly OR it is not aplicable on SQL. I am 
trying to retrive data:

SELECT * FROM test WHERE ((page = 1 XOR page = 2) OR page = 3)

I know this is not php, but I thought the logic should be the same in

I thought this might work:

But having given it more thought, I'm not so sure. I assume from your

a field of one row have more than one value? Surely `page` is either 
1, 2 or 3, not two of them at once. How do you want your results 
pulled? Assuming you have rows containing all three values, how do you 
decide which of the pair of results you want?


Thanks,

You have described the problem very well. This is exactly where I can 
not find a solution.


the page number translates to the following: 1= first page 2= following 
pages 3= all pages


This are the options a user has while booking a product on my site. Now 
if ther is a new
client that wants to book all pages, I need to query the table to find 
out if the spot is available.
The spot would be full if page 1 has more results then 3 , OR all 
following pages have more then 3 results. So to find out if all pages 
option would be available I need to query the db to retrieve all 
results, that are (page = 3) OR (page = 1 XOR 2)


Am I wrong?

HEllo Peter,

thank you for your reply. I know about XOR, but unfortunatelly I might 
not know how to use it properly OR it is not aplicable on SQL. I am 
trying to retrive data:

SELECT * FROM test WHERE ((page = 1 XOR page = 2) OR page = 3)

I know this is not php, but I thought the logic should be the same in 
this case?!

This will likely retrieve all the records in the table. Is that what

Re: [PHP] logic operands problem


Hi everybody,

thank you for all the help and thoughts. I have solved it, but I guess 
it is not an elegant solution. What I do now, is simply check again for 
the second case. There are 2 cases. Either first page OR all pages, 
second case: following pages OR all pages.


My booking checking looks now as following:

  
   


   # on which page will the tl be placed?
   if ($data[page] == 3){ // all pages
   $where_page = 'AND (page = 1 OR page = 3)'; // unfortunatelly we 
have to test later on page = 2 OR page = 3. No solution inside one 
query. We tried also (page=1 XOR page=2) OR page = 3

   $where_page_2 = 'AND (page = 2 OR page = 3)';
   }
   else{ // page one or all following pages
   $where_page = 'AND page = '.$data[page];
   }
   

   


   # find out first possible booking period
   do{
   // get all toplistings that are at least with one day inside the 
desired booking period

   $stmt= 
   SELECT
   *
   FROM
   $DB.$T54
   WHERE
   cat_id = '$data[cat_id]'
   AND cat_type = '$data[cat_type]'
   $where_page
   AND
   (
   (start_date = '$new_start' AND expires = 
'$new_start')

   OR (start_date = '$new_end' AND expires = '$new_end')
   OR (start_date = '$new_start' AND start_date= 
'$new_end')
   )   
   ;

   #echo $stmt.$br;
   $result = execute_stmt($stmt, $link);
   while ($row = db_get_row($result)){   
   $booked[start][] = $row-start_date;

   $booked[end][]= $row-expires;
   }
   $possible_bookings = count($booked[start]);
   // would there be more bookings then possible?
   if ($possible_bookings = $places){ // not enough space. Try 
nest day

   $shift = true; // shift period for one day
   $reservation = 1;
   $new_start =  date(Ymd,strtotime($new_start. + 1 day));
   $new_end = date(Ymd,strtotime($new_end. + 1 day));
   }
   else{ // enough space
   unset($shift);
   }
   unset($booked);   
   } while ($shift); // shift as long as we find free space
   




   

   # if client wants to book all pages, we have to try also the second 
constellation

   # we could not find a way to do this in one sql query
   # find out if booking period has to be shifted even further due to 
all pages booking

   if ($page == 3){
   do{
   // get all toplistings that are at least with one day inside 
the desired booking period

   $stmt= 
   SELECT
   *
   FROM
   $DB.$T54
   WHERE
   cat_id = '$data[cat_id]'
   AND cat_type = '$data[cat_type]'
   $where_page_2
   AND
   (
   (start_date = '$new_start' AND expires =

   OR (start_date = '$new_end' AND expires =

   OR (start_date = '$new_start' AND start_date= 
'$new_end')
   )   
   ;

   //echo $stmt.$br;
   $result = execute_stmt($stmt, $link);
   while ($row = db_get_row($result)){   
   $booked[start][] = $row-start_date;

   $booked[end][]= $row-expires;

   $possible_bookings = count($booked[start]);
   // would there be more bookings then possible?

day));

   $new_end = date(Ymd,strtotime($new_end. + 1 day));
   }
   else{ // enough space
   unset($shift);
   }
   unset($booked);   
   } while ($shift); // shift as long as we find free space

   }
   

  

This is rather a dirty solution. Maybe someone has an idea on how to do 
it more elegant? I believe there should be one simple line that is 
different instead of checking it all over again for a second time.



Any ideas?

[PHP] Finding out the first possible booking date with php

2009-12-03 Thread Merlin Morgenstern


Hello everybody,

I am pretty much stuck with a problem and I was hoping to find some help 
here with you guys.


A PHP Script with MySQL as DB has to find out the first possible booking 
period available. I can't figure out the logic behind and if there is a 
trick with PHP to do it.


Following facts:
- There can only be 3 bookings in the same time period
- I want to find out the first period available
- There should be a less as possible periods that are unbooked

Example:
Start   End
1.1214.12
4.1218.12
5.1219.12
In this example the first possible booking would be 14.12 - 28.12 as 
this is a time period where I can offer a place that holds a max of 3 
bookings.


My Problem now is how to pull this info and process it?

Should I get all dates out of the DB and process them via PHP, or do a 
magical MYSQL Query (which by the way seems not to be possible in that 
case in my knowledge) ?


Let's asume we go with PHP. Has somebody an idea how to form that kind 
of logic?

[PHP] amount of overlaping dates

2009-12-03 Thread Merlin Morgenstern


Hello again,

I am searching for a way to identify the amount of simultanious date ranges.

Example:

array start=('1.12', '5.12', '9.12');
array end =('8.12', '12.12', '16.12');

Looks like this in a table:
start   end
1.128.12
5.1212.12
9.1216.12

Obviously the first and last daterange do not overlap. So the amount of 
overlaping bookings is 2. But how to identify this with PHP?!


Any ideas?

Store the start and end times of each event in an SQL table.

SELECT COUNT(*) FROM `event` WHERE `start` = NOW() AND `end` = NOW()

gets you the number of events that are happening right now.
  


That is what I thought first, too! But this does not work correct as 
there might be a booking starting for example tomorrow. There needs to 
be free place for the entire booking period.


I am a bit further now, but still stuck.

So far I could pull out all dates from the database that are within the 
range:
SELECT * FROM `datetest` WHERE '2009-12-06' between start and end OR 
'2009-12-13' between start and end


Now the trick would be to find overlaps. Here is an example:

I have a table with following booking info:

start end
2009-12-01 2009-12-08
2009-12-05 2009-12-12
2009-12-09 2009-12-16

I want to find out the first possible booking range for 14 day period 
begining from 2009-12-06 at the earliest where a max of 3 bookings are 
present. The result schould be: 2009-12-06


First I am pulling out all dates between the desired range:

SELECT *
FROM `datetest`
WHERE '2009-12-06'
BETWEEN START AND END OR '2009-12-13'
BETWEEN START AND END
LIMIT 0 , 30

Now the tricky parts starts where I do not know how to find out that the 
first daterange in the table and the last daterange do not overlap.

Re: [PHP] processing html forms and keeping the values

This solution is limited to the size of the query string (2k). Be

Another solution is to use a framework to handle the post back values.

Change the form to post

Thanks,
Ash
http://www.ashleysheridan.co.uk




This is not so easy. I am doing some checking with php on the values and 
if one failes php returns via GET to the form with the help of header 
location:


   $parameter =  demo=this;
   HEADER(Location:/test.html?error=1.$parameter);
   exit;

I would need to change way to many things in order to simply change to post.

Isn't there another way?

[PHP] regex for multiple line breakes

I am trying to remove multiple linebreakes from a textarea input.

You still have an issue with your regex:

$data[txt] = preg_replace('`[\r\n]+`',\n,$data[txt]);

Even if you replace the + with a {2,} you are asking it to match any one
of the characters in the square brackets twice or more and replace it
with a single \n. If your line breaks actually do consist of the \r\n
pattern, then the {2,} will match those two characters, not two sets of
those characters. You might be better off replacing all \r characters
with an empty string, and then matching against the \n character only.

Well, a slash has a special meaning inside PHP strings, more so for
double quoted strings. Are you correctly escaping the slash as a double
slash so that it's not interpreted by the string as an escaped
character, as you will need to as the preg_replace will be interpreting
it as an escape sequence to match?

[PHP] regex - filtering out chinese utf8 characters

I am trying to filter out content that is not ascii. Can I do this with

if (preg_match($regex, $text)) {
return TRUE;
}
else {
return FALSE;
}

The reason I need to do this is that I am doing a mysql query with the 
text and I need to make sure it is not UTF8. Otherwise I do get 
following error:


Error: 		Illegal mix of collations (latin1_swedish_ci,IMPLICIT) and 
(utf8_general_ci,COERCIBLE) for operation '='


I am new to regex and would be happy for a jump start to get this fixed.

[PHP] detecting spam keywords with stripos

Hi there,

I am matching text against an array of keywords to detect spam. 
Unfortunatelly there are some false positives due to the fact that

Second thought: split text into words and use in_array, but this does 
not find things like zu Hause or flexible/Arbeit


Does somebody have an idea on how to make my function better in terms of 
not detecting the string inside a word? Here is the code:


while ($row = db_get_row($result)){
$keyword[]  = $row-keyword;
$weight[]   = $row-weight;
};  
$num_results = db_numrows($result); 

for ($i=0;$i$num_results;$i++){
$findme  = $keyword[$i];
$pos = stripos($data[txt], $findme);
$pos2 = stripos($data[title], $findme);
if ($pos !== false OR $pos2 !== false){ // spam!
$spam_level += $weight[$i];

It works, but unfortunatelly the extracted files are all placed into the

Try this:

$fp = fopen(dirname($filename) . '/' . zip_entry_name($zip_entry), w);



thank you this worked. How come the . '/' . zip_entry_name($zip_entry) 
is needed? Looks like a double file name, but the result is ok. Could 
you explain this line? Thank you!

[PHP] Regex not working with :

Hi there,

Can you try ..

# Your regular expression could not be converted to the flavor
required by this language:
# A POSIX Extended RE cannot match the start and the end of a line with ^ and $
# A POSIX Extended RE cannot match the start and the end of a line with ^ and $

# Because of this, the code snippet below will not work as you
intended, if at all.

$contents = mb_ereg_replace('^(.*)this is the test: replace(.*)$',
'\1\2', $contents, 'UTF-8');



The warnings above come from RegexBuddy. Considering the PHP examples,
I'm not sure how accurate they are.

Hi there,

thank you for the help. Actually it was due to case sensitivity. Use 
str_ireplace to fix it.

[PHP] extracting text - regex


Hello,

I am trying read text out of a text that is inbetween two divs. Somehow 
this should be possible with regex, I just can't figure out how.


Example:

div id=test
bla blub
/div

I would like to extract the text bla blub out of this example.

Has anybody an idea on how to do that? Is there a special php function 
available for this?

Thank you everbody. I figured it out without regex. It's not for

$pos_1 = strpos($contents, $word1);
$pos_2 = strpos($contents, $word2, $pos_1);
$text = strip_tags(substr($contents, $pos_1, $pos_2 - $pos_1));

That works as well.

[PHP] opening utf-8 files - chinese mb characters


Hello everybody,

I am having some trouble with utf-8 encoding. The html file containes 
chinese characters and looks ok, when opened in a browser.


Now I want to extract some text from the file. In order to do this I do:

$handle = fopen($file, r);
$contents = fread($handle, filesize($file));

echo $contents;

The chinese characters are gone by then. They show up as questinomarks 
or wired characters. To fix it I tried to add:


$contents = utf8_decode($contents);
header(Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8);

But still... no luck :-(

Has somebody an idea why??

Something really strange: If I open the file directly from the hard 
drive inside the browser, the chinese characters show OK. If I open the 
file through the webserver the characters do not show OK. File encoding 
is set to utf-8.


Isn't this strange?°?!?

Check that the page really is displayed with the right encoding - in FF,
Ctrl-I. 


/Per




yes it is. I checked it. UTF-8.

It looks like it has to do something with wget, the programm I used to 
retrieve the file. Or Linux itself. The language-pack for china is not 
on the suse box, and I can't even find the chinese language through yast 
languages. This might explain, why I can open it from a mounted samba 
share directly, but not through the apache webserver who reads it from 
the linux system.


Did somebody else have such a probl. before?

A bit off topic, but Ctrl+I no longer brings up the Page Info in
Firefox like it used to -- at least on my Windows computers. (It opens
the bookmark list in the sidebar.) Does it do differently under Linux?

Andrew


I use windows right click for this.

Actually I isolated the problem, but still I can't figure out how to 
solve it. The page is not utf-8, but ugb2312.


I am already sending the header through php:
header(Content-Type: text/html; charset=ugb2312);

And with apache http.conf:
AddDefaultCharset ugb2312

However firefox still claims that it is utf-8 which is causing the 
strange characters.


What a night mare! Does anybody have an idea on how to get closer to 
solving this?

Looks like this was a caching problem in firefox. The caracters show now

I found the function to convert GB2312  into unicode from a member:
http://de.php.net/utf8_encode (gb2unicode in the lower bottom)

Unfortunatelly the required file is missing with the encoding. The post

Please stop top-posting.

Anyway, are you using a META tag codepage to tell the web browser what

HI,

I am using a meta tag:
meta http-equiv=content-type content=text/html; charset=UTF-8

I have also configured apache:
AddDefaultCharset utf-8

Also php:
header('content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8');

Connection: Keep-Alive
Transfer-Encoding: chunked

The chinese characters which come directly out of the database are shown

question mark.

it really is a great admin tool, albeit a little slow when building

Yes, I always use a package from whatever distro (ubuntu for my desktop

compile apache/php/mysql or most anything else. Sometimes there's

I've got Suse10.3 on my laptop, all 64-bit, and running the correct
graphics libraries which I use for GD. I used Yast to install the whole
thing, as it sorts out everything for me. For Suse, I'd recommend it, as
it really is a great admin tool, albeit a little slow when building
repository lists when you install things!

Yes, I always use a package from whatever distro (ubuntu for my desktop
for several years and fedora on my web host).  I've never needed to
compile apache/php/mysql or most anything else.  Sometimes there's
something that I want that you can only get from source, but normally
that builds easily for me.

[PHP] Converting Euro sign

2009-02-26 Thread Merlin Morgenstern


Hello everybody,

I have an xml-file where a euro sign is in. Now the sign shows up as 
questionmark after importing into a mysql db.


On the utf_8_decode site I found that iconv will help here, but first of 
 all I do not even know if the xml file is utf8encoded (I doubt it), 
and secondly I do not want to install another module just for this.


Any ideas on how to build a workaround?

Hi there,

I am trying to pars an XML file with php. This works if the xml tag 
looks like this: anbieternr88/anbieternr

In that case I retrieve the info: $xml-anbieternr

But now the tag looks different like this:

The command $xml-imo:anbieternr does not work in that case.

Has somebody an idea how to adress this?

I recently upgraded on my prod system from php 4.x to the newest php

[PHP] unlink file rights problem

2009-01-28 Thread Merlin Morgenstern


Hi there,

I am trying to unlink a file which is inside a folder that is not 
writable to phps user www. Of course this failes, but I need to find a 
solution for it.


Backgroud is following:
I have pure-ftpd installed where user directories get created by 
pure-ftpd. Unfortunatelly there seems to be a bug and pure-ftpd does 
only create the homedirectory folder in 750 mod.
My PHP-Script scans this directories every x minutes and processes those 
files. Upon completinon those files should get deleted, but as the dir 
is not writable by the user www this failes.


The dir looks like this:
drwxr-x--- 2 ftpuser ftpgroup 4096 Jan 28 10:18 merlin/

files inside look like this:
-rwxrwx--- 1 ftpuser ftpgroup 16868 Jan 28 10:20 test.xml*

User www which executes php via cron is inside the group ftpgroup.

Any ideas? I am kind of lost with this one. Thank you for any help!

Apache starts and there are processes running, even the access log shows

[PHP] installing php 5 with pdflib

Hi there,

I am still facing trouble with pdflib and php 5. After hours of research 
I found that I do have to install the pecl package. So I decided to 
compile it into php staticly like described here:

http://www.php-resource.de/handbuch/install.pecl.static.htm

The configure command stops with the error:
configure: error: pdflib.h not found! Check the path passed to 
--with-pdflib=PATH. PATH should be the install prefix directory.


actually the file is and always was there. Does it have to be a new 
version? I am using pdflib 4.x which workes fine in the running php 4.x 
installation.

PHP returns:

According to a google search mysql-dev is not installed. So I tried to

these are two different the things, the former being, well simple

$xml-anhang-data

the latter i would do via xpath, which SimpleXML supports as well.

-nathan


I think you hit the nail on the head with XPath nathan;

//anha...@location='INTERN' and @gruppe='TITELBILD']/data

which would be requiring DOMDocument and DOMXPath


ive been really lazy about testing stuff first today :), but why not 
just rock it out w/ SimpleXML,


$xml = new SimpleXMLElement($xmlstr);
$searchResult = $xml-xpath('//anha...@location='INTERN' and 
@gruppe='TITELBILD']/data');


at least im just saying you dont NEED DOMDocument  DOMXPath, but def, 
that is an alternative to SimpleXML.

XML in PHP4? Don't. :-)

It was very painful and with all kinds of quirks, from my limited experience.

PHP5 was a breeze.

Consider hosting a quick/easy service on a PHP5 box to convert XML to PHP 
serialized data or something as well.  Could be less painful.

Or just upgrade, since PHP4 has passed EOL.

[PHP] Adressing XML Objects


Hi there,

I am justing walking my first steps on XML and PHP. As I learned from a 
tutorial adressing is very simple:


echo $xml-anbieter-immobilie-preise-kaufpreis;

I simply just can't figure out how to adress this structure:
anhang location=INTERN gruppe=TITELBILD

This does not work:
echo $xml-anbieter-immobilie-anhaenge-daten-anhanginhalt;

Somehow location and gruppe needs to be placed into the command. I 
already tried a couple of version, but no success.


Thank you for any hint.

Best regards, Merlin

this is meaningless unless we know which xml library you are using.  i 
believe you said youre running php4 earlier, right?


so which xml library have you settled on?
 
btw; php4 has DOMXML as a native extension, but the api is a bit 
cumbersome.

[PHP] setting up FTP account names via PHP


Hello everybody,

I am running a real estate site where I would like to enable bulk upload 
via real estate software that exports an xml file into an ftp account.


In order to give every user unique access I would need to generate 
individual ftp name and passwords for each member. I can not see how 
this should work. My portal is written in PHP 4.x and there every 
members loges in with a unique ID. The FTP Server runns on the same 
linux machine. How could I generate users for this FTP server with php, 
for example on sign up?


Thank you for any help on this.

Best regards,

Merlin

Re: [PHP] setting up FTP account names via PHP

Is there a good FTP Daemon that can be recommended for this purpose? 
pure-ftpd seams out of development since 2006.

I am just now looking into mysql support for pure ftpd. One solution I 
have in mind is to write the password into the pureftp DB upon signup.
That would be the easiest. The other solution to write to a conf file 
would be OK, too. What do you think?


I would look real seriously at making sure both the FTP software, and 
your website use the same authentication database. Even if it means 
having to go with a different FTP server, or write your own. That way, 
if they change their password on the web site, it will update it for the 
FTP automatically as well.


Other then that, No real info to include to help... Sorry for that.

obviously, the password for the FTP server will be different. Or are you
looking to dynamically create a one time user/passwd for the user so that it
changes each time they access the FTP server?

What ftp server are you using?



I just installed pureftpd. One possible sollution as I figured is to
alter the virtual user table of the ftp server with php.

Is this the way to go, or does somebody have a better idea that saves
dev. time?

Re: [PHP] setting up FTP account names via PHP


Hello everybody,

thank you all for your help. I got a solution running. In pure-ftpd you 
can authenticate via mysql. Via a user table, exactly the thing I was 
searching for.


However, there is a problem araising. Every user get's his own directory 
for uploads. My next step would have been to create a php script which 
will be run by cron every 5 minutes that scans one dir and if there is 
content inside import it into the mysql db.
With the current setup I would need to scan all dirs to see if there are 
changes inside.


Is there some kind of command where I could find out if there are new 
files inside those folders? I don't see any other solution.


Any suggestions?

Thank you for any help,

merlin

merlin..

if you're going to allow a user to use the same user/passwd for the site,
and the FTP server.. i would strongly argue that you should allow the user
only the minimal access on the FTP server. if someone hacks your site, no
need to have them running rampant over your FTP server.

i would actually argue that you can have the same username, but separate
passwds, but i don'w know exactly what you're going to have on the FTP
server, nor do I know your skill at securing servers/services...

it doesn't really make a difference if you have separate dbs for the
user/passwd auth systems. if you secure the overall system, it's secure. if
you don't, well you're going to run into issues..

you might also look into existing web based mgmt apps for FTP servers to see
if any already exist.
