[PHP] Vertical Search Engine
Dear Friends, I am planning to launch a Vertical Jobs Search Engine (Ref: www.linkup.com and www.indeed.com) which crawls, spiders and Indexes the job listings. I have com across couple of open sources like Nutch and Lucene which are very compatable for Java. But, I would like to know similiar ones for PHP. Please advise Thanks Neil
Re: [PHP] V4 Vs V5 Issue
Hi Thanks to those who got back to me on this. Turns out the issue was HTTP_POST_VARS..GET, SERVER being so depreciated that they no longer worked at all. Changed all to _POST..._GET, _SERVER etc and all worked fine. I guess they will make a programmer of me yet...hmmm one day maybe.

Re: [PHP] V4 Vs V5 Issue
Thanks Jim Two things come to mind. 1) Is their any PHP inside you javascript file that needs to be parsed? And if so, is the new V5 install configured in such a way that it parses/processes javascript files? where the old install was processing javascript files. This would be a configuration issue from the actual web server POV. i.e. Apache, lighttpd, etc... Once reconfigured, make sure you restart your web server. Yes there is PHP inside the javascript that is being passed. As an exorcise I was just looking at deleting it all out of the code and seeing what happens, however it is everywhere. The Webserver with the V5 PHP is Apache 2.2.4, but I can not really see where I would make the changes you are suggesting. The older server with V4 is Apache 1.34.4 2) Is your code using short tags in php? This allows the programmer to use ? instead of ?php . In this case you might want to enable short tags in the new version of PHP. I think php 5 comes with short tags disabled and version 4 had it enabled by default. This setting would be found in your php.ini file on the server. If you need to change the setting, make sure you restart your httpd server before testing. Short tags is enabled and working most of the application is short tagged.

Re: [PHP] V4 Vs V5 Issue
Thanks Jim Will add some more to this. The PHP that is parsed inside this file and the JS is I think working correctly because the values are populated in the JavaScript output that is being displayed in the IE source viewer. For instance there is a stack of variable that are defined up front, these get information from PHP, these have the same information as the V4 server and I can therefore only presume the correct information.

[PHP] Checking requested range
Is there anything in PHP which would allow me to check the requested range of bytes by an client? Basically one of the download scripts I made some time ago got hit by a load of requests for a file, but the server was giving back 416 Requested Range Not Satisfiable. I assume that the user is trying to use a download agent of some kind, but this was killing my server by soaking up all the memory with all these requests.

Cheers for that, I think I just found a reasonable method to do a short
term fix, though I might totally redesign my download application to support
resumable download agents. I looked on the HTTP 1.1 protocol and found the
request headers used when requesting parts of a file is Range:.
For now I put this at the top of my script :-
$headers = apache_request_headers();
foreach ($headers as $header = $value) {
if (stristr($header, range) != FALSE) { die; }
}
Using the apache_request_headers to check for the range request and die if
it recieves it, does it look reasonable to you?

[PHP] php4 can't find tnsnames.ora oracle9 but can connect if description hardcoded
Hello,
I have test script that can connect to the oracle database. It doesn't
require tnsnames.ora because I define the database alias in the script
itself. It looks like this:
echo TWO_TASK=.getenv(TWO_TASK).br;
echo LD_LIBRARY_PATH=.getenv(LD_LIBRARY_PATH).br;
echo ORACLE_BASE=.getenv(ORACLE_BASE).BR;
echo ORACLE_HOME=.getenv(ORACLE_HOME).BR;
echo TNS_ADMIN=.getenv(TNS_ADMIN).BR;
echo NLS_LANG=.getenv(NLS_LANG)..br;
# this allows a successful connection
$db = (DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP) (HOST =testdb.boo.com)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA= (SID = testdb))
);
// these don't work.. php can't seem to find tnsnames.ora
# $db = testdb.boo.com;
//$db = testdb.boo.com;
# $db = testdb;
//echo $testdb;
$odbc = OCILogon(test/test,test,$db);
if ($odbc == false){
$msg = OCIError($odbc).BR;
} else {
echo success!!!br;
}
My problem is is that when I try to use the database alias in tnsnames.ora I
get an ora-12154 error. I get this despite the facts that oracle_home,
tns_admin and everything else is defined in the script and the tnsnames.ora
contains exactly the same alias as I use in the hardcoded version (see the
uncommented $db above).
sqlnet.ora contains a value name_domain that apparently is appended to the
alias in tnsnames.ora but accounting for this still doesn't let me connect
to oracle . It's as if tnsnames.ora cannot be found. I've changed the
permissions to 777 for the whole directory structure and I can successfully
use tnsnames.ora with sqlplus or tnsping.
Does anybody have any ideas what is going wrong? Is this a bug?
thanks,
neil

[PHP] uploading files with a single quote in the filename
Hi When uploading files using a type=file in a form, if a file is uploaded with a single quote the file gets truncated to whatever is after the quote eg. blah'sblah.txt will be uploaded as sblah.txt Is this a magic quotes issue?

Re: [PHP] uploading files with a single quote in the filename
Thanks some answers: turning magic quotes on and off seemed to make no difference 1. single quotes aren't important to me but this application allows users to upload photos which often use descriptive filenames which sometimes have single quotes eg. my mum's car.jpg.

Thanks Bret I have tried turning all reporting on - error_reporting(E_ALL); but that doesn't reveal anything significant I have looked in the logs but there is nothing significant there.

Hi Brett My form is effectively identical to yours form enctype=multipart/form-data action=/uploadfiles.php method=post bUpload a file:/b input name=userfile type=file size=100 No the first part of the file name is just dropped and the file with the truncated name is saved in the correct place.

value My Name into $value.
print $value ;
// should print My Name, I zip.
I have played around with this bit of code from operators part of the

$foo = test;
$$bar = this is;

You are throwing me here.. the problem seems to be that $test
hasn't been assign. By using your examples I can make $test
actually be a value by doing this with the variable variable:
$$foo = 'avalue'; // $test is assinge 'avalue'
Is equivalent as doing:
$test = 'avalue'; // $test is assinge 'avalue'
And thus, without the actual $test assignment:
echo $test $foo;
will result in:
avalue test

Hi everyone,
I know this is probably really simple, but I am not very good at expressions
and conditional statements. I am wanting to show a list from a MYSQL
database. I am using the URL to store the variables that control the
output. The variable $ORDER can be set to ASC (Ascending), DESC (Descending
and RAND (Random). What I want the script to do is set $SPORDER to this
value. If $_GET['ORDER'] is not set then it gets the default value (ASC),
if this is any other than ASC, DESC or RAND (ie. someone has messed with the
variables in the URL) then it also gets the default (ASC). Finally if
$_GET['ORDER'] is set to RAND then I want $SPORDER to equal RAND() so that I
can use the value in the SQL query.
Here is part of the script:
?php
if (!isset($_GET['ORDER'])) { // Checks if the 'ORDER'
variable from the
URL is set. If it is NOT set the following happens...
$SPORDER = ASC; // The variable $SPORDER is given
the value ASC, since
ASC (Ascending Order) is the default value.
}
else { // The following happens if the 'ORDER'
variable IS set...
$SPORDER = $_GET['ORDER']; // The variable
$SPORDER is given the value
of the variable 'ORDER' taken from the URL.
if ( (($SPORDER !== ASC) ($SPORDER !== DESC))
($SPORDER !==
RAND)) { // If the variable $SPORDER does NOT have the value of either
ASC (Ascending), DESC (Descending) or RAND (Random) then the following
happens...
$SPORDER == ASC; // The variable
$SPORDER is given the default
value ASC
}
else { // If the variable $SPORDER DOES have the value
of either ASC,
DESC or RAND then the following happens...
if ($SPORDER == RAND) { // If $SPORDER has the
following of RAND
(Random Order) then...
$SPORDER == RAND(); // $SPORDER is
given the value RAND() which
is the correct value for submission to the MYSQL query.
}
}
} // End of the Conditional Statements regarding the ORDER variable.
?
I think the problem part could be: if ( (($SPORDER !== ASC) ($SPORDER
!== DESC)) ($SPORDER !== RAND))
I am trying to say if $SPORDER does not equal ASC, DESC or RAND then
do the following. There maybe other problems in my code as well that are
not making this work. I would be grateful if you could shed some light on
it!
Best wishes,
Ian Gray

RE: [PHP] Sessions 'funny' and Zone Alarm Pro 3
It does sound like you're right. Like ZA is perhaps allowing the user's request to go twice. This is akin to people who double click on links because that's what they're used to doing on windows icons. However, it seems a bit odd how it selects to do it. It seems that if it did it twice on every call, one would expect the count to go immediately to 2 rather than start at one. Or does the session only begin after that first item is clicked? The strange thing is that it is not necessarily twice. Say I buy 2 items and then I buy 5 items, it will take 7 (2+5) and add that onto the first purchase of 2 giving me 9 items (when I should only have 7). As you can imagine, the more you buy the more this problem escalates. Have you tested this on several machines? No I haven't I'm afraid. Mike Another thing I have noticed is that the problem only occurs if I use ONE PHP script to do everything (i.e. display and add to the cart) If I split the code accross different scripts I then get nothing added to the cart at all (even though the SID automatically gets inserted inside each form, everytime I sumbit and look at the code the SID changes). I think this is probably to do with the fact that I have used the Rewrite rule in an .htaccess file and the SID (if in the URL) is not getting passed on to the script - not sure about that though. Hmm, still scratching my head although I have the items being correctly added to the cart when no ZA and now I have them not being added at all when Privacy is on. This is after having split the code into multiple files. Don't know why it should make a difference over multiple files though?

This script obviously calls itself (not sure if that is part of the
problem?)
Scenario (with ZA cookie control set to Medium)
---
Leave the quantity set to 1 and click add, the session then shows that there
is one item in the cart.
Click add again and there are 3 items in the cart.
Click again and there are 5 items.
If I now change the quantity to say 10, there will be 16 items (the 5 that
were
there a minute ago plus the 10 plus what appears to be the value that
quantity
was previously set to i.e. 1.
Thus if I then go and set the quantity to 5, it will take the previous value
(10)
plus the new value (5) and add it to the cart (16), giving 31.
Turning ZA OFF and all works as expected.
Since my cart is a serious of objects/arrays, I changed the following to try
and track
down the problem.
Changed:
session_start();
if ( !isset( $_SESSION[ 'cart' ] ) ) {
$_SESSION[ 'cart' ] = new Cart();
}
?
To:
---
session_start();
if ( !isset( $_SESSION[ 'cart' ] ) ) {
$_SESSION[ 'cart' ] = new Cart();
$_SESSION[ 'count' ] = 0;
}
$_SESSION[ 'count' ]++;
echo $_SESSION[ 'count' ];
?
The count variable was also going up in the same fashion as the cart items
which makes me think that the page itself is being called several times
before
being displayed.
I'm tearing my hair out here and I can't leave it as is and the cart has to
go into production and I can't have people buying 31 items when they wanted
3 :)
Anyone any suggestions at all.

Neil Stiron

Re: [PHP] fgetcsv Help
Richard, I am parsing a csv file with fgetcsv and the fields are surrounding by double quotes, now I am running into a problem periodically that when there are quotes within the value it is treating it like another value instead of the same value. Any ideas on how to get around that? I am thinking I might have to convert all quotes to quot; and then turn all quot;,quot; back into quotes and then the first quot; in the file and then last one since obviously they will not have a comma in between them. This seems like a while lot of work.. Ideas? The first idea is that the system that outputs a .CSV with quotes within a quoted field is broken big-time and that's the part that needs fixing! I'm on the same wavelength as you describe: you can't use any automated csv function on such a file. Quotes should only appear in pairs. The closing quote must therefore appear immediately prior to a field separator (eg comma) - whitespace not withstanding, unless it is the last field on a line, in which case it will appear immediately prior to a record separator. One possibility is to write a 'filter' script to do this - and thus leave your existing code intact. The filter could take in the file, explode on quotes, and then cycle through the resultant array looking at the first non-whitespace data in every second element, clean/recode where necessary, and then implode and output. Alternatively could join/unset consecutive array elements which have been split inappropriately (by 'internal' quotes), and then implode using the other style of quotes/another separator, if this can be made to work later in the process...

Re: Re[2]: [PHP] Script not working from one computer
I have a feeling it's going to work out to be something stupidly simple... like these problems always do. :) =embarrassingly so! If you're taking this all off a user's say-so, then it sounds like an eyeball job to me... I never did solve it, but it came down to a weird cookie problem. The Session cookie was being set and accepted correctly, but regular cookies would never set. Other web sites could set cookies, but none from this web site were ever written. I don't know if it's because of SSL or what. It's one of those things that worked fine yesterday and now doesn't work and the user didn't do anything. Oh well... IE allows quite a bit of control over the handling of cookies. Most admins would probably focus on the Security tab and the possibilities it offers. However there is also a vicious back-hander under the Privacy tab (that you can't see/get no warning about, under normal operation) and with a simple command one can ban cookies from any nominated web site(s) - hence everything works fine for accessing (eg) the NYTimes but blows up in your face (sorry SeaBee humor) when you access the nominated site. Could be done by FOBCAK, user brilliance=ignorance, or deliberate sabotage/cynical Admin baiting!

Re: [PHP] Filter vulger / controversial words - need word source
Hi Jon, I think we've seen this discussion on the list before (so Christopher, check the archives!) I'm wondering if someone has a great source for a master-list of controversial and vulger words that I can use on my site. I would like to pattern match input text against this master-list in order to prevent vulger and controversial words from appearing on my site. Once you've got the routine working, post it here, because there are many people who would like to know how to do this properly. The problems that others have experienced in the past are: - what happens with misspellings, e.g. fsck? - what happens with dodgy formatting, e.g f s c k? - what happens with words like Scunthorpe? Problem 1: add likely/popular mis-spellings to the list of vulger/vulgar language Problem 2: (contrived) very few single-letter words exist so remove intervening white space prior to analysis Problem 2a: (the more popular f*ck - someone suffering the misapprehension that (s)he is somehow NOT guilty of using bad language/being offensive when (s)he plainly is not only doing so but attempting to be deceptive as well...) see response to Problem 1 (the probably habit would be to replace/remove vowels) Problem 3: Scunthorpe contains an unfortunate series of letters (amongst the town's many disadvantages) however the critical four are not a word in and of their own right so employ whitespace (\s) in the RegEx or token analysis. May I suggest, rather than picking your way through this minefield, you provide a report abusive comment link instead? Most sensible! The employment of a technological solution to a social problem is somewhat shooting the messenger. However some countries are now legislating responsibility that ISPs/employers must discharge (shooting the person who shoes the horses that the Pony Express messenger is riding!?) In this case perhaps one could analyse the incoming text and place an embargo on its publication on the web site until it has been reviewed by a human editor? If we were talking about filtering incoming email, then perhaps the original message could be forwarded/wrapped with a message from the EmailAdmin/System pointing out that a message has arrived from xyz (etc) and has been flagged for a stated reason (but that there is room for interpretation within the mechanical observation) and that the message should not be opened by anyone fearing offence. (this similar to 'security' gateways that don't allow msgs with attachments unless the 'employee' first authorises a 'pass-through') Euro 0.02's worth? =dn -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] date() on two diff. servers
Mike, No complaints about explanations in PHP manual - I often say that it IS a cut-above the average. However it does NOT explain the underlying concepts of timestamps, (quite rightly) expecting that we pick up such from other/more appropriate sources. Hence my comments are refering to such sources/attempting to find such sources... Like you, when I re-read that entry in the PHP manual (after your informative reply) I 'saw' the logic and discovered that I had to move the 'location' in my mind-map where I had framed the GMT/TZ adjustment. Fortunately it didn't nullify any design decisions I've made/relied upon. Unfortunately *NIX sources thus far consulted don't seem to feel it necessary to do the same/print anything confirming (and many of them most careless in your GMT point) - and hence the discomfort. It is always difficult to learn new things, and if not more so, can be v.awkward trying to adapt from one philosophy to another, eg Windows to *NIX. Getting the terminology straight is one thing, getting the model worked out another. I don't doubt what you say/am happy to be shown to be wrong, but would sure like to 'prove' it. As I say, am probably just barking up the wrong (Christmas) tree(s). No worries - it's familiar territory!

Re: [PHP] Filter vulger / controversial words - need word source
Jason, there simply is no definitive list of words The fact is content filtering does not work without a heavy dose of human intervention. It is quite shocking that large numbers of well known corporations deploy misconfigured content-filtering software which rejects perfectly innocent email. Earlier contributions highlight this admirably. I was at an Information show last week where a stand displayed the good work of the EU organisation in the field. I spoke to a Brussels(*) wonk/weenie/suit about such legislation (proposed and awaiting national enactment). I suggested that it would be unfair to 'bring to justice' anyone for apparently offending some employee/user's sensitivities without first defining WHAT would cause offence (eg the requested list of vulgar words). Otherwise the first you might know about it is when a court decides (against you) that is unacceptable in polite company. Accordingly I suggested that his department publish such a list (in all of the languages/cultures of the EU???), but observed that he would have a serious problem being able to distribute it without his own office prosecuting itself! As is to be expected, he failed to see the humor (and failed to see the sense/requirement to do so)... The joke is on our Indian friends @upv.pertamina.co.id whose 'filter' simply bounces messages containing Dirty Words, because as you say there is no human involvement so they can't even benefit from Jon's observations. This policy means that every contact/contract with Sc*nthorp that they lose, is deservedly so, and an unfortunate advertisement not to use that country for out-sourcing if the culture-gap is so great!? Summary attitude: hey I'll code it if you want it/pay me to do so, but what are you going to do when you meet the rest of society as soon as you come off the email system? NB it has 'always' been illegal to use such language in (British, and many others) phone conversations, but who does that stop/what filters are in place there? =dn *for the benefit of more distant members: Brussels is the home of many European Union (EU) offices, and the source of much bureaucratic 'stupidity' such as the legislation mentioned earlier. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] Different output on two different servers
Hi Steve,
Have you solved this already?
If not, when you copied the code between machines was there some effort to
ensure that the 'copy' points to the RDBMS/tbls on the same box/different
box - or does the original box have code that points to tbls on itself, and
the second box have code that runs on 'it' but (still) points to tbls on the

PS what's the difference between production and live?
(in my jargon they are synonyms)
I have set-up a production server and a live server. The problem is with
the production server. I am using PHP version 4.2.3 and MySQL 3.23.39 on
both servers. We have just configured the production server to mimick
the live server (which incidentally works fine) and the code from both
servers is identical. I dumped all the data into the production MySQL
database then copied the code from the live server to our production one
and there didn't seem to be any problems. However today my boss asked
for a new category to go into our webshop with a new product. I went
into MySQL and updated the database fine then when I went to check the
section of the site to see if the extra category and product are there I
get my own PHP encoded error 'No categories currently available'. It
fails on the first function:
function display_categories($cat_array)
{
//display all categories in the array passed in
if (!is_array($cat_array))
{
echo brNo categories currently available.br;
}
else
{
//create table
echo table width = \760\ border='0'
background='images/shopbg.gif';
etc.
Now it works superbly on my live server and did work fine until I tried
adding another field to the database on the production server. Where
should I start looking to de-bug this?

Re: [PHP] date() on two diff. servers
=now let's take a look at the UNIX Epoch. Various 'quotations' have surfaced in this email, and I don't recall that it is well discussed within the PHP manual (it being a UNIX definition after all...).

It's only the *local* *times* (on the server, of course) that change. So, the Unix timestamp of 0 represents: 00:00 1-Jan-1970 GMT 19:00 31-Dec-1969 on the east coast of Canada/USA (5 hours behind GMT) 09:30 1-Jan-1970 in Australia's Northern Territory (9.5 hour ahead of GMT -- I know this one 'cos my sister lives there!)

But the output of the print statement looks like this: funA START: file: productBrief, name: \, alt: \, size: 177\ So where did the darned backslashes come from? Any ideas? Magic_quotes will do this.

Re: [PHP] Checking for Overlapping Dates
Hi Thomas, SELECT * from $DB_TBLName WHERE (Trim(WorkerEmail)='$userReplacementEmail') AND AND OR OR OR OR OR This is all a bit complicated, and a simple boy like me gets lost too easily.

So we mark off which days A will be away and then view which days B would like to go against existing requests.

I have tried to do a check using purely SQL, but this doesn't account for all possibilities of overlapping dates: (unixStartDate is the unix timestamp for the replacement, whereas the PHP var $unixStartDate is the unix timestamp for the employee who wants to post a new vacation request) $checkSQL = SELECT * from $DB_TBLName WHERE (Trim(WorkerEmail)='$userReplacementEmail') AND (Status 40) AND ( ( ($unixStartDate = unixStartDate) ) OR ( ($unixEndDate = unixEndDate) ) OR ( ($unixStartDate = unixEndDate) ) OR ( ($unixEndDate = unixStartDate) ) OR ( (unixStartDate $unixStartDate) (unixEndDate $unixEndDate) ) OR ( (unixStartDate $unixStartDate) (unixEndDate $unixEndDate) ) ) ; So I think what I instead need to do is use PHP code instead of SQL to check for overlapping dates in the 2 date ranges I have.

Fw: [PHP] Checking for Overlapping Dates
Thomas (and list), The solution, as previously posted, is flawed/incomplete - mea culpa. Excuse: I was interrupted three times from typing the word SELECT until pressing Send, and then rushing to get on to the next call on my time... WHERE bstart afinish OR bfinish astart; Check back with the diagram and you will see that a bstart clause needs to also check that bstart = astart to trigger rejection - if the leave starts AND finishes before the 'replacement's' leave, then all is well - similarly for second clause. Now, if you prefer to inform a positive response, eg leave may be granted, then when you turn things around, pay special attention to the relationship and changing ORs and ANDs. Better if we change the whole logic around and say when can we grant annual leave? because then the answer becomes: if bfinish astart or fstart afinish. This has the additional advantage of 'scaling', if the employee has more than one potential 'replacement'! In all approaches beware the special case: that the 'replacement' has no outstanding request for leave! Again apologies, =dn SELECT * from $DB_TBLName WHERE (Trim(WorkerEmail)='$userReplacementEmail') AND AND OR OR OR OR OR This is all a bit complicated, and a simple boy like me gets lost too easily.

Re: [PHP] mail function() with MS
Hi Anthony, I'm using MS Win 98 and my ISP has PHP installed on a MS server. I'd like to display a HTML form box on my site for users to type in a message utilizing the PHP mail() function. I've tested this using Apache on my drive with a html form and a php script to receive the data and it works fine - but when the site goes live it will be hosted with an ISP with a MS server - not Apache. Is it possible to utilize the PHP mail function under these conditions? I was led to believe that I could change the configurations in my php.ini file from: SMTP: localhost to SMTP: mail.yourisp.com I use Win2000Prof with Apache, and have Win2000Svr with IIS. In each case I use a separate and external SMTP server. This is the relevant section of PHP.INI: [mail function] ; For Win32 only. SMTP=smtp.ISPs.domain ; For Win32 only. sendmail_from=MyAddress@MyDomain When you use PHP provided by a service, you will need to establish what they have set up as SMTP server, and if it is not acceptable to you (for whatever reason that might be) work out how to override it. I use a script/class from PHPguru.org, and I can't say for sure that it even looks at the PHP.INI settings because I set them directly/again within the mail function's code. Highly recommended!

Re: [PHP] mail function() with MS
Hi Anthony Qusetion: 1: What would happen if I changed the php.ini settings to: SMTP=mail.yourisp.com sendmail_from=MyAddress@MyDomain as opposed to: SMTP=smtp.ISPs.domain =as long as the SMTP server is accessible and you have access rights, then it can be anyone's/anywhere...

I'm not sure why I would not think it is not acceptable. Please advise. =Some web-hosts only have the one PHP.INI. That means you would have to use what they define as SMTP server. I don't know (a) what the host may define, (b) what you will find acceptable... ie it may or may not result in an issue/be relevant to you. Also...let's say I'm developing another site with a mail form box using Win98 and Apache Do I then have to reconfigure the php.ini files back to localhost from: SMTP=mail.yourisp.com =each PHP/web server has its own PHP.INI file.

Re: [PHP] mail() problems...
Anthony,
I'm not sure I understand.
=that makes one more! This feature is a bit of a minefield - but once you
get a handle on it, its too useful to be without...
I had this working a few months ago by changing the php.ini settings to:
SMTP = localhost ;for win32 only
sendmail_from = [EMAIL PROTECTED] ;for win32 only
and I was able to run that script on my box and get an e-mail returned to
me.
Now, I getting a failed to connect.
I'm using MS OE5.
=this can only work if:
a) there is an SMTP server on the localhost (and the DNS finds it), or
b) the code wrapped around mail() specifies a valid and reachable SMTP
server, or
c) the code sidesteps the PHP mail facility completely by doing something
else, or
d) its not a Win box (and needs a completely different approach)
=if it was working, it was working; I'm not sure what has been
updated/replaced since - but let's not even go down that track.
=I assume that the Win98 machine has outbound email working from some MTA,
eg Outlook [Express]. Check its definition for an SMTP server. Cut-and-paste
from there into PHP.INI.
=also (because I'm a simple boy), forget all the optional headers etc, just
use a stripped down/simple email stub-script for testing/proving.
=If PHP's mail() can be persuaded to work, thereafter it (and any scripts)
can be 'tweaked'/made better - or we can look back and compare...

[PHP] Failed to install Mod_cURL under Windows/Apache
PHP v4.2.3 with Apache 1.3.24 under Win2000 Prof SP2 Downloaded the full v4.2.3 zip package/Win binary, some weeks ago. Installation went fine. Extensions are happily included. Have had several weeks of operations. Decided to install cURL to do some URL (strangely enough) link verification-checking. Started at manual: XII. CURL, Client URL Library Functions with sent me to http://curl.haxx.se and in turn http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/php/ Downloaded curl-7.10.2-win32-nossl which (really) only contains CURL.EXE. I cannot see any instructions telling me what to do with this/where to put it!? Moved it to the same location as PHP.EXE. It runs happily from the command line (so that's something!) Moved both the .dlls around, checked the MVC file, and uncommented the PHP.INI line - and verified it with PHPINFO(). However when a PHP script (copied straight off the PHP manual) calls curl_init () it causes Apache to crash: Apache.exe has generated errors and will be closed by Windows. You will need to restart the program. An error log is being created. - restarting the Apache service and re-running results in the same error - rebooting the whole system and re-running also. - the v-server's error log shows nothing and the access log only shows the PHPINFO() mentioned - there's nothing in the Windows Event log - I can't figure out where this error log is created Help!

Re: [PHP] Regular Expresion Work on IP address
Dev,
Nice work!
Thanks for implementing the book's algorithm/proving it in PHP-PCRE, and I
do like your extension into an internal/external function.
I've not implemented your code (bookmarked for later) but some initial
comments:
- don't forget some of the other 'funnies' in the IP addressing scheme, most
notably 127.0.0.1 = localhost (which is also an 'internal' address) - I'd
need to read/remind myself of others...
- in the $parts[0]=255 type of construct, remember that the is
superfluous - or the RegEx is overly specific (hence the discussion point
earlier)
- also the $parts[0] is a string, so 255 will be (marginally) faster
- similarly you could make $ip_state=0; into a boolean expression (and
function return value) which might enable the function call to read more
smoothly
- regardless, $ip_state is currently sometimes treated as a string and once
as an integer.
- I don't know your IP allocations but in net_check() shouldn't all the if()
logical ops be ANDs?
Any thoughts of extending it to work with IPng addresses (or whatever
they're calling it these days)?
Great stuff, keep it coming! (and when you've finished perhaps you could
submit it to one of the script libraries/improve on what they might already
have?)

Re: [PHP] Regular Expresion Work on IP address
Hello Dev,
Now I am continuing on with the same script and I need to check for valid
IP address form.
Currently I have:
$ip=255.255.255.0;
if (preg_match (/[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}/, $ip))
{
print Good Ip;
} else {
print Bad Ip;
}
This does work kinda. It checks to see if the 4 sets of numbers are well
there and numbers.
The problem I am having is that it does not check to see if the IP is in a
proper range ie less than 255.255.255.255
So you could enter 256.256.256.999 and it will say that it is a good IP.
Any clue how I would change it to check for that
I'm reading my way through Friedl's, Mastering Regular Expressions,
O'Reilly, 2002. This is discussed in pp187-9, but I haven't had a chance to
'play' with it yet (!) and indeed he comments that it is one of those topics
that you can attempt to refine and refine, but may be equally well off by
sticking with what you have (surround the individual octet values with
parentheses and then perform the semantic checking in PHP - as you discuss).
What he comes up with observes the shorter range of digits for the first two
digit positions of a (possible) three digit octet expression (in decimal),
eg the first digit is either 0, 1, or 2 or not present at all.
So if the first digit is a 1, then the next digits can be anything.
If the first digit is a 0 or a space/non-existent then...
However if the first digit is a 2, then the next digit may not exceed 5
[0-5]. If it is 5 then the last digit is similarly constrained, but if the
second digit is less than 5, the third can be any digit.
NB the 0.0.0.0 and 255.255.255.255 issues remain
Thus the main component (handling each octet) is the basic code:
([01]?\d\d?|2[0-4]\d|25[0-5])\.
which in English comes out as something like:
a zero and a one may be present and followed by a digit and possibly another
digit, or
a two will be present, followed by a digit in the range 0 through 4,
followed by another digit, or
a two and a five will be present followed by a digit in the range 0 through
5,
and then a dot/separator.
This turns the whole shebang into:
^([01]?\d\d?|2[0-4]\d|25[0-5])\.([01]?\d\d?|2[0-4]\d|25[0-5])\.([01]?\d\d?|2
[0-4]\d|25[0-5])\.([01]?\d\d?|2[0-4]\d|25[0-5])$
I'm sorry, but that's going to be diabolic to read after the email has had
at it.
The ^ and $, begin/end are necessary to ensure that there aren't
over-running digits afore or aft of the IP addr.
NB this is NOT tested (by me). I'm not sure if this code (the options in
particular), as it is written, can be pasted straight into PHP's version of
PCRE. YMMV!
If you try it, please send feedback,

Hi Victor, Welcome to the wonderful world of PHP! I'm new in PHP. Could you point me where can i download a sample script about how can i paginate some results? PHP essentially exists to output HTML. You cannot paginate in HTML (although there is some fancy CSS that could be employed). Sorry, =dn -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] date
Hi Shaun, please could someone tell me how i can return a month in text from an int ie getMonth(12) returns Decmber. Is this possible? No. If you want to stick with this, write your own function to look up a text array. If the 12 is part of more data coming in from a form or db (for example), then give us the wider picture and a 'built-in' solution may become possible. =dn -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] How to give parameters to a console php-script?
Hello Martin, I start a console app with php myscript.php4 (just prints ok). How can I give parameters to it? I tried: php myscript.php4 myparameter php myscript.php4?myparameter php myscript.php4?param=myparameter But always php just returns without doing nothing (not even giving an error or printing Ok!) I'm using PHP 4.2.3. on Windows2000). I'm using the same version/platform and things work fine (for me). Manual: Chapter 23. Using PHP from the command line You are correct the first time. What do argv and argc tell you? Is the php.ini file set up so that these variables are shown/valid?

Re: [PHP] How to give parameters to a console php-script?
Martin, Ah yes, the famous 'read the upgrade notes - gotcha'! Well done, you figured it out... =dn ll I found a register_argc_argv = On in my php.ini, which should work then. But I also found, that I have to use print Ok: .$_SERVER[argv][1]; instead of print Ok: .$argv[1]; Martin -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Test links?
Beth,
When fopen successfully opens a file it populates an array
$http_response_header, which you can examine to see if the link works or
not - I don't believe you can actually get the file itself, but since
that's not what we're after that's not a problem!
I noticed this reference to $http_response_header and straightaway quizzed
the manual, only to find that the only references to it (eg file open) lead
nowhere. Have gone through a few other pages, looking to see if I might
happen upon some detail, but failed. Sadly you don't refer to it in the code
snippet provided (below). Any code I've attempted blindly has
failed/reported errors.
Please point me in the right direction (otherwise I guess it'll be time to
download the new v4.3.0-RC and risk the bleeding edge - which according to
the manual does something different anyway...)
=dn
Having said that, fopen produces a very annoying error if it doesn't
find the page, but I found the following works:
?php
$SQL = SELECT linkurl, linkID FROM links;
$result = mysql_query($SQL);
while($linkdata = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
$fp = fopen($linkdata['linkurl'],r);
if($fp)
{
echo p.$linkdata['linkurl']. is still valid./p;
}else{
echo p.$linkdata['linkurl']. is invalid. Updating
database... ;
$SQL = UPDATE links SET status = 0 WHERE linkID =
'.$linkdata['linkID'].';
$result2 = mysql_query($SQL);
if($result2)
{
echo Database updated/p;
}
}
}
?
Rather than deleting the link, it's probably better to set a flag to
show it was invalid last time you checked, but check it again next time.
Or you could keep a count of the number of failed attempts, and delete
if it goes beyond 3 or so.
Not sure how to supress the warning message that PHP automatically does
when you haven't got a valid URL though.
Hope this works for you!

Re: [PHP] Test links?
Rob/Beth,
The code should also consider:
1 updating the db if the link is 'valid', ie if previously it had been
'down'!
2 putting an @ to prevent any errors causing a hard-stop at the fopen line
3 that the url/database must contain protocol information, ie
http://www.nytimes.com not www.nytimes.com.
Thanks for the discussion,
=dn

Okay, I'm confused... file, fopen, and fsockopen seem to say not found on

$url = $row[0]; // just get the url from the db
$fp = implode ('', file ($url));
if (!$fp) {echo font color=redbUnable to access file/b/font; }
else { fclose($fp); echo The link is working!; }
It seems I always get this warning...
Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid File-Handle resource in

If someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks,

Re: [PHP] Triggering a PHP Script
Ryan, My Problem: I've got a PHP script (running on Apache) that can take several hours to complete. The script sends out a newsletter to those who have requested it. When calling this script from a web browser, the browser hangs until the script has fully executed. If the user hits Stop while the script is running, it will terminate the script. My Questions: What is the best way to trigger this script? Is there a way to do it without using a CGI script? I am basically wondering if there is a way to create a trigger this php page script that will run the script on Apache and not hang the browser. Also, are there any problems calling MySQL from a PHP CGI script? First: trust that you are only sending to opted-in clients!? (we're kind of sensitive about spammers around here!) The manual is your friend: Chapter 23. Using PHP from the command line. Add code to prevent PHP from timing-out (see another current thread) and that takes care of your program. It will now run, outside the browser, in the background, and you/your user can carry on using the browser... As far as trigger goes, you can type the command into the command line, or run some sort of 'job', or set it up to run off a scheduler, eg CRON or AT/Scheduled Tasks.

Re: [PHP] Detecting email bounces sent by the mail function?
Hello Ade, Is it possible to detect with PHP whether an email sent using the PHP 'mail' function has bounced back or has not been delivered? I currently all ready check the email address using the 'ereg' function before the mail function is called, but this only checks the format is valid beforehand. Yes, and No! If you use the ReturnPath header SOME/most email servers will bounce msgs that they can't deliver to an actual mailbox back to you (others drop such msgs onto an Admin somewhere, lose them in the ether (the msgs not the Admins...) etc, etc). Accordingly, use a distinct address for this/email filing rules. Opt-in email schemes which send a welcome/confirm email to new customers do so for this reason - the only way to verify an email address is to use it (and get some feedback from the addressee). Of course, once you have 'located' a new user, you still have to cope with those who close email accounts without advising you... It's a wonderful world! =dn -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
