RE: [PHP] Extensions Directory (PEAR/PECL)
[SNIP] When I ran the command: pecl install zip-1.3.1 It intalled the zip.so file to: /usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20050922/zip.so Extensions are compiled with a given Zend/PHP API. The zip extension you installed was compiled against the API dated 2005-09-22. I complained/questioned this default behavior of 'pecl install' myself and asked why pecl didn't use the 'extension dir' value I already had set in the PHP.ini file. The response was that the php.ini file is not the authoritative definition for the extension directory because there could in theory be many php.ini files all over the system not to mention the defaults which might be used if no php.ini file exists at all. The only way I could get zip support working was to put it here: /usr/local/php/ext Which is where my extensions directory is located. I've checked, and the extensions directory is set correctly in the php.ini file. Does anyone know where/how it would come up with this other path? I've seen several people complain about this problem, but it doesn't seem anyone wants to change it. If you want your life to continue without tons of stress, just go with the flow, don't try to customize your installation, and just accept the defaults. Yeah, I didn't like that answer either. In summary: Change your php.ini file to match the 'no-debug-non-zts-20050922' default directory and your problems will go away. Dante [/SNIP] Thanks. At least I know it's not something that can be changed. I'll just move them to the appropriate place after it installs them. That seems to be working just fine. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing some configuration directive that could point these to where I really want them... I did notice the 20050922 in my phpinfo() page under PHP Extension. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Re: [Repost] Getting rid of Web page has expired (POSTDATA Error)
You might want to modify your coding. The way I prevent this problem from ever happening is this: 1. The user completes information on the form. 2. The form is validated by PHP. 3. If there are errors, then the form is reshown with their values populated. 4. Once all errors are corrected, I process the form and then use a Header(Location: ) to redirect the user to the same page (or another page). This has the advantage of allowing a user to click the back button and seeing their form with their values still intact. This prevents a method post page from being in the user's browser history.
[PHP] Re: PHP and mySQL getting smashed...
Upgrade your MySQL distribution to the latest version (5+). Upgrade any shared MySQL libraries to the latest distribute. Recompile MySQL with mysqli support. http://php.net/mysqli And use that instead of the regular MySQL functions. That's what I did and it has made a huge difference. Not to mention, the mysqli library has so many more functions available to you. ~Samuel
RE: [PHP] Re: [Repost] Getting rid of Web page has expired (POSTDATA Error)
[SNIP]
Now one thing bothers me: how do you redirect in step 4 if you have shown
the form in step 3?
How do you avoid a Cannot modify header information - headers already sent
by ... error message?

Nicholas,
As long as you haven't outputted anything from your script after the form
post, you can redirect just fine.
Step 3 and Step 4 are two different steps.
You need something like this:
if (isset($_POST[btnSubmit]))
{
// validate form
}
if (!$form_passes_validation)
{
// show form
} else
{
Header(location: );
}

[PHP] Extensions Directory (PEAR/PECL)
Please let me know if this would be more appropriate to post in a PEAR or PECL forum. Today, I've been trying to install some extensions - in particular, the GD library and the ZIP library. I've finally managed to get it all working, but there was one issue that I'd like to clear up for future reference if possible. When I ran the command: pecl install zip-1.3.1 It intalled the zip.so file to: /usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20050922/zip.so The only way I could get zip support working was to put it here: /usr/local/php/ext Which is where my extensions directory is located.

[PHP] Regex Help for URL's
Can someone help me modify the following code?
It was designed to search for all instances of [LEVEL#]...[/LEVEL#]
I need a preg_match_all that will search for all of instances of an URL.
It should be sophisticated enough to find something as complicated as this:
http(s)://x.y.z.domain.com/dir/dir/file.name.ext?query=1query=2#anchor
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
preg_match_all('#\[LEVEL([0-9])\](.*)\[/LEVEL[0-9]]#Uim', $arcContent,

Don't be rude. I've already don't all of that. Nothing came up. I've been
programming for 20 years (since I was 11 years old) so I'm not a slacker
when it comes to learning new things, however, I have always found regular
expressions to be extremely difficult. Someone here might have the answer I
need, and if so, I'd appreciate a response. If you don't know the answer,
don't reply. Simple enough, don't you think?

so your looking for a regular expression that is *totally* different
from the regular expression you have... the two have nothing in common.
do you expect us to do the complete rewrite for you or do you want to
learn abit about regexps yourself? (that probably sounds arrogant, so it
might
help to know even the most experienced people (a group I don't consider
myself
part of) here have [and do] get told to RTFM on occasion - no one is safe
;-)
I suggest using a search engine to start with and see what that turns up...
somehow I can't believe that nobody has ever written a regexp that matches
urls,
for instance try reading this page in the manual (hint: look at the the user
notes)
http://php.net/preg_match
come back when/if you get stuck.
preg_match_all('#\[LEVEL([0-9])\](.*)\[/LEVEL[0-9]]#Uim', $arcContent,
$tmpMatches);
$arcContent = preg_replace('#\[LEVEL([0-9])\](.*)\[/LEVEL[0-9]]#Uim',

RE: [PHP] Regex Help for URL's [ANSWER]
In case any one is looking for a solution to a similar problem as me, here is the answer. I used the code from my original post as my guiding light, and with some experimentation, I figured it out. To get any URL, regardless of where it is located, use this: preg_match_all(#\'http://(.*)\'#U, $content, $matches); This match anything similar to: 'http://www.domain.com/dir/dir/file.txt?query=blah' This is useful, if for example, you have a tag like this one: A HREF=javascript:void(0); ONCLICK=javascript:window.open = 'http://www.domain.com/dir/dir/file.txt?query=blah'; Now, for tags which are in quotes, rather than single quotes, just use: preg_match_all(#\http://(.*)\#U, $content, $matches); This is really only the first step. In order to be useful, you need a way to process these urls according to your own specific needs: preg_match_all(#\'http://(.*)\'#U, $content, $matches); $content = preg_replace(#\'http://(.*)\'#U, '###URL###', $content); This will modify the $content variable to change all urls to ###URL### You can then go through them one at a time to process them: for ($count = 0; $count count($matches[1]); $count++) -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

RE: [PHP] Regex Help for URL's [ANSWER]
In my opinion, it is the most reasonable solution. I have looked all over the web for something else, but this works perfectly for me. It's impossible to tell where an url starts and ends if you don't have it in quotes or single quotes. If someone really needs to find all the urls in a page, then they'll code their pages to make use of this limitation. -Original Message- From: Chrome [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, May 16, 2006 8:24 PM To: 'Robert Samuel White'; php-general@lists.php.net Subject: RE: [PHP] Regex Help for URL's [ANSWER] -Original Message- From: Robert Samuel White [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 17 May 2006 01:16 To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: RE: [PHP] Regex Help for URL's [ANSWER] All pages used by my content management system must be in a valid format.

RE: [PHP] Regex Help for URL's [ANSWER]
If we are talking clickable links, why not focus on the a construct itself? Otherwise URLs are just part of the page's textual content... Very difficult to parse that Disseminating an a tag isn't brain-meltingly difficult with a regex if you put your mind to it... With or without quotes, be they single, double or non-existent If I've misunderstood please chastise me :) HTH Dan Dan, That's what I was doing. I was parsing A:HREF, IMG:SRC, etc. But when I implemented a new feature on my network, where you could click on a row and have it take you to another domain, I need a better solution. Go to http://www.enetwizard.ws and it might make more sense. All the links on the left have an ONCLICK=location.href = '' attribute in the TR tag. This solution allowed me to make sure those links included the session information, just like the A:HREF links do. It also had the advantage of updating the links in my CSS. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Cutting Edge Technology - Never before has a content management system been designed around the concept of a universal point of contact for all requests. This server knows all, and delivers all. - Never before has a content management system been designed to render and manage the content of an unlimited number of domains and websites for an unlimited number of businesses and organizations. Expect nothing less from our server. Core Features - Production Environment Ready. The server before you has had no corners cut in its design. It is stable and ready for production environments, with only a few minor limitations or idiocyncracies. And it's free and open source. - Infinitely Expansive Design. The server was designed to manage an infinite number of domains, websites, components, organizations, groups, and users, all from a single running copy of its distribution. - Complete Content Management. The server manages the content of all mime types and can deliver the content to the requesting client based on customizable settings of the server for each mime type. - Seemless Integration with Other Server Software. The server was designed to complement the job of the web server and server side scripting languages, and does not replace nor interfere with their purposes. In fact, you can utilize all of them from within the system in a myriad of useful ways. - Language Independent. The server, objects, and wizards were all designed to contain its strings in an XML localization file, allowing it to run in any language it has been translated into.

It logs all form post and get data, cookies, system functions, and script warnings and errors, depending upon your configuration. It also logs all attempts at treacherous activity anywhere within the system! - Wizardly Management. The server includes a built-in wizard component, which includes the eNetwizard Control Panel, for easy management of every aspect of the server. As expressed by a recent user of the Control Panel, it's overwhelmingly powerful. - Customizable Website Applications. Objects are a powerful way to make use of the server, allowing you to click once and build anything from a guestbook or newsletter to a first-class e-commerce application, rendered in the style properties appropriate for the website, and fully managed from the eNetwizard Control Panel. - Much More!

I'm using PHP version 4.2.3 Whether I have a negative number in an array, for example: $myArray[ID] = -2 Or the number comes from the database, for example: $row[id] = -2 I cannot get this simple operation to work: if ($row[id] 0) Instead, positive or negative, it seems to think this expression is always true: if ($row[id] 0) It's like it takes the absolute value of the number (whether the number is 2 or -2, it thinks it is 2) I've tried many things, including type casting using (int) in front of the expression. Nothing has worked. Any ideas why in the world this is happening? Thanks. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] testing for negative numbers
Hi Rasmus:
Yes, I'm totally aware of case sensitivity...and basically the script
you wrote here is exactly what I'm trying to doing. This is a problem
I've been having with several scripts...always when the number is
negative. I've also echoed my variables just to make sure they are in
fact negative numbers. This is an odd thing I've been dealing with for
a while now.
This only happens when the value is negative. But anyway, here's the
part of the script I'm encountering the problem at:
$result = $Database-Query(SELECT * FROM
.DBT__MATRIX_STRUCTURE_CONTENT. WHERE content_id = '.$tmpParentId.');
while ($row = $Database-FetchArray($result))
{
$tmpArray[$tmpCount][ID-PARENT] =
$row[parent_id];
$tmpArray[$tmpCount][ID-DIR]= $row[dir_id];
$tmpArray[$tmpCount][TYPE] =
$row[content_type];
$tmpArray[$tmpCount][FILE] =
$row[content_file];
$tmpArray[$tmpCount][TITLE] =
$row[content_title];
$tmpArray[$tmpCount][VERSION] =
$row[content_version];
if ($row[dir_id] 0)
{
$resultc = $Database-Query(SELECT * FROM
.DBT__MATRIX_STRUCTURE_DIR. WHERE dir_id = '.$row[dir_id].');
while ($rowc = $Database-FetchArray($resultc))
{
$tmpArray[$tmpCount][PATH] =
$rowc[dir_path];
}
$Database-FreeResult($resultc);
}
if ((int)$row[dir_id] 0)
{
$resultc = $Database-Query(SELECT * FROM
.DBT__MATRIX_STRUCTURE_ROUTES. WHERE dir_id = '.$row[dir_id].');
while ($rowc = $Database-FetchArray($resultc))
{
$tmpArray[$tmpCount][ALIAS] =
$rowc[dir_alias];
$tmpArray[$tmpCount][PATH] =
$rowc[dir_path];
echo xxx; exit();
}
$Database-FreeResult($resultc);
}

$row[ID] and $row[id] are not the same thing.
The trivial test of your example:
$myArray[id] = -2;
if ($myArray[id] 0) echo Negative;
else echo Positive;
Prints Negative as expected.

Whether I have a negative number in an array, for example:
$myArray[ID] = -2
Or the number comes from the database, for example:
$row[id] = -2
I cannot get this simple operation to work:
if ($row[id] 0)
Instead, positive or negative, it seems to think this expression is
always true:
if ($row[id] 0)
It's like it takes the absolute value of the number (whether the number
is 2 or -2, it thinks it is 2)
I've tried many things, including type casting using (int) in front of
the expression.
Nothing has worked.
Any ideas why in the world this is happening? Thanks.

Re: [PHP] testing for negative numbers
Well, I just tried your test script and that works just as it should, so I must be having some other issue. But that still doesn't explain why I can print out the results of $row[dir_id] and it shows it being -2, yet my script (as printed in the last email) never makes it to the correct conditional statement.

Re: [PHP] testing for negative numbers
Okay, I'm an idiot. It *was* making it to the statement, but the row_id in the table matrix_structure_routes are actually positive numbers, so when it gets to that point I need to use the absolute value. The reason for using the negative and postive counterparts are to determine which type of directory it is (and therefore which table the meta information is stored in).

[PHP] Re: Trapping PHP Errors
Use the error_reporting function to define which errors you would like
PHP to report to the error handler. If you want everything to be mailed
to you, including warnings, use the E_ALL setting, though you may get a
lot more warnings than you expect this way:
error_reporting(E_ALL);
function ErrorHandler($_ErrorNumber_, $_ErrorString_, $_ErrorFile_,
$_ErrorLine_)
{
mail(...);

Hello, I am the creator of eNetwizard Content Management Server, an open source content management system using the LAMP suite.

For example, any website at enetwizard.net has the same look and feel because of the domain scope matrix file; I have made this file publicly accessible if you go here: http://www.enetwizard.net/matrix1.php Another scope is the page scope which is where the main content for a page is located, so for the default page at enetwizard.net, it looks like this file: http://www.enetwizard.net/matrix2.php This allows the server to automatically assemble and render content in a variety of formats as you can see here: http://www.enetwizard.net/default.exml (as XML) http://www.enetwizard.net/default.ehtml (as HTML) This is the main idea behind general content stored by the server -- there are other ways of doing things that are even more advanced but they will not be discussed here. In order for this to work, I created an xmldoc class that can assemble all of the files together and create the file accordingly. It is then outputted via the server class. Examples of these files are here: http://www.enetwizard.net/xmldoc.php http://www.enetwizard.net/server.php Worth noting, the matrix files can contain PHP code, which is evaluated in the xmldoc class to create an actual XML document. These two classes are in their elementary forms. And they already have more issues than can be tolerated for such an advanced content management system. First of all, I cannot use the character anywhere because of the fact it is an XML file. This creates a serious problem and must be addressed. Secondly, any errors that exist in a matrix file will effectively break the page. This too is a major issue that muse be addressed, especially since it conflicts with the website wizard (which is responsible for managing existing and new content). I believe there must be a smarter way to do this and I would like any feedback one might have in this arena. I believe using regex's might be a better solution, especially since some unique tags, such as a WIZARD tag must replace be replaced by the xmldoc class with the actual content of the wizard it is referencing, same scenario for the OBJECT tag (which are customizable web applications), etc. At present this cannot work the way I have it set up. I cannot make a public release until this is fixed stably and fully productive. I am looking for someone who can help me with this XML stuff, and other competent programmers who would like to volunteer for this project.

[PHP] Re: the xml functions [worth a read]
Thank you for your response. First of all, I'm not sure if you are familiar, but I am working on a project called eNetwizard Content Management Server. More is available here: http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/enetwizard/ Content is stored as XML, but not in the usual manner. eNetwizard is able to manage an unlimited number of domains and websites from a central web environment. It does this because it acts as a web server and determines what content to deliver based on the URL string. Content is stored in a matrix folder like this: /matrix /matrix/net /matrix/net/enetwizard /matrix/net/enetwizard/www In this manner, all content for www.enetwizard.net http://www.enetwizard.net/ is stored in the /matrix/net/enetwizard/www folder. However, it is even more complicated than that. Content is compiled by scope. /matrix is considered the global scope. /matrix/net/enetwizard is in the domain scope. /matrix/net/enetwizard/www is in the website scope. And the files in that directory are in the page scope. Each of these directories can have a file (_.rsw) which is a part of the eNetwizard XML that is compiled. It must be fully-conformant XML and this is determined by the class I wrote to validate it. My understanding is that PHP does not have the ability to use DTD's - am I wrong about this? Anyway, the reason for the scope is to build complex templates and pages. For example, maybe you want a copyright at the bottom of every page that is on the enetwizard.net domain - you simply put it in the TAIL section of the domain scope .RSW file. When eNetwizard is called, it compiles it all, validates it, and then converts it to HTML (or anything else you want it to really). Here's an example: www.natural-law.net/default.exml (this file is the result of compiling and validating the .RSW files) www.natural-law.net/default.ehtml (this file is the result of converting it) Now, to get to what I'm trying to get at: I understand that XML used the ampersands as reserved words. This is a good thing in most instances, because it will be nice to define these entities, but how do I do that with the limitations of the PHP parser functions? And what is the way around this? I believe that the way I have things set up now, I would like it to simply treat them as CDATA, because these can be dealt with in the $Server class later on (when doing the conversions to HTML, etc.) Also, in order to validate the DTD (that I could make if PHP can work with it) - it would have to wait till after the compilation of the .RSW files - the .RSW files are also parsed as XML and first put into an associative array - it organizes them by their main grouping and scope -- STYLE, META, HEAD, BODY, and TAIL -- it works really nicely, as those two links will show... If you'd like to see the code for these two classes, let me know, and I'll send them to you, and you can see how I have this set up. It may help to have a more interactive tour of how all of this works, but I haven't gotten that far in the project yet. I just finished the last of the core (this XML stuff) and am about to start creating the wizards (management panels) for the project, then the documentation, then the release... Thanks very much if you can give me an idea on how to tackle this unique issue. -Samuel Robert Samuel White wrote: I am having a hard time understanding one of the features of the xml parser functions. If the string I am parsing includes nbsp; or something similar, it encounters an error. I've read the docs and I don't understand how to have the parser process these. Any advice would be great. Basically, unless you've coded something to deal with them ampersands are the ultimate reserved word in XML. The easiest way to deal with them is to scrub them to amp;nbsp; before they go through the XML parser. The right way to deal with them is to define nbsp; as a valid entity in your DTD and make sure that all XML strings have a DTD when they are fed through the parser. J Wynia phpgeek.com

[PHP] Introducing eNetwizard Server: An Open Source Project for Users of PHP
will be releasing the first Alpha release of eNetwizard within the next few weeks. eNetwizard still has a long way to go before it meets its full potential. I am currently actively seeking competent volunteer programmers who would like to contribute to this project. Those programmers whom I select to work on this project side-by-side with me will receive substantial recognition for their efforts. If you are interested, please contact me with detailed information about your skills and the projects that you have been involved in. If you are an active SourceForge user, even better! I need assistance with many of the different sub projects as well as individuals who can translate English into other languages; I would like to make eNetwizard portable to as many languages as possible. If you have experience in documentation or other areas of project development, I would love to hear from you as well. Some of the things that need to be done are simple, while others are quite complex. For instance, eNetwizard needs a multifaceted parser for dealing with dynamic content. There are many, many different things that need to be done. For those of you who are curious about just trying out the software, it will be available for download very soon; the core of eNetwizard is pretty much a complete project, now it's just time for expanding it. For information about its release, you can sign up for the mailing list by following the links below. I look forward to hearing from you!

You said you wanted to create some nicely formatted forms -- what's wrong with HTML and style sheets? Assuming you have some control over your end users' browsers, you should be able to create a well-formatted, easy- to-use HTML form no problem. Otherwise, I'd look at LaTeX or maybe DocBook format. --kurt -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [PHP] Dynamic Document Creation
Thank you, Valentin. Your solution sounds like the one I am looking
for!
It's from manual do not remember it's chapter exactly:
// starting word
$word = new COM(word.application) or die(Unable to instanciate
Word);
print Loaded Word, version {$word-Version}\n;
//bring it to front
$word-Visible = 1;
//open an empty document
$word-Documents-Add();
//do some weird stuff
$word-Selection-TypeText(This is a test...);
$word-Documents[1]-SaveAs(Useless test.doc);
//closing word
$word-Quit();
//free the object
$word-Release();
$word = null;
//

So you can develop this example into powerful tool for generating
Word %(
Documents. I advise you to find MS Word DOM Handbook to make your task
easier...

Subject: [PHP] Dynamic Document Creation
Hello,
Does anyone have any scripts or know a location to point me to
where I can
dynamically create Microsoft Word documents using PHP. I need to
create
some nicely formatted forms. I could do this as text, however, this
solution is not perfect because I don't know of an escape sequence
for
creating a new page. I cannot do this using PDF because it's not
installed
on the servers I am using. I could possibly do this in other
formats if
you
know of any solutions. Thank you.

[PHP] New Page Escape Sequence
I wish to take some information out of a database and create a text file with the information, nicely formatted. Does any one know of an escape sequence that works as a new page indicator for printing??? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: Re[2]: [PHP] Preventing a form from being submitted twice
Well, that's kinda hard to do. You should start by looking at the session management functions of PHP. Then, track your sessions by creating a table in a database. Then, once you are doing that...you will have a session id associated with any individual using your website. Once that individual submits an entry, save the session id with the order and don't allow them to submit another order since their session id is already stored. -OR- If you only want them to be able to submit ONE ORDER EVER, then create a cookie on their computer (that lasts for a year) once they have completed the transaction and check for the cookie every time someone tries to submit an order. IF the cookie exists, then prevent the order from processing. Hope this helps. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, December 01, 2001 4:51 AM To: php-general Subject: Re[2]: [PHP] Preventing a form from being submitted twice could you give me a few more words to point me in the right direction Saturday, December 01, 2001, 1:41:49 AM, you wrote: Se Two Words: Session Management How can I prevent somebody from using the back button after they fill in a form and it takes them to a second page that checks there data using php code.

RE: [PHP] PHP and XML
XML By Example Second Edition, published by Que, written by Benoit Marchal, is the best resource out there in my opinion. This book was used in one of my college courses. -Original Message- From: Tom Malone [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, November 29, 2001 7:13 PM To: PHP List Subject: [PHP] PHP and XML Can anyone recommend a good book on XML, maybe from a PHP perspective?
