Re: RES: [PHP] email address syntax checker
That won't accept dozens of different types of email addresses. It won't even
match some value domains.
Valid email addresses can contain virtually any character in the local part
(although in the main they will require being inside quotation marks), and the
@ symbol is included in that!

Assunto: [PHP] email address syntax checker
Hi Guys,
I'm waddling my way through database interaction and thought someone on
the list may already have a simple email checker that they'd like to
share...
you know, looking for the @ char and dots etc..
I did a quick search of the archives and found a couple elaborate
things.. but
I'm looking for something simple. This job will have trusted users and
the checker is more to help them catch mistakes when registering.
Thanks!,

Re: [PHP] How to get cpu consumption of a php script
I can't think of anything except using top or ps. If you can't guarantee what process runs what individual script, are you able to just track them all globally, and check for differences as you start and stop scripts. Perhaps run certain scripts under different users which should give them their own pid (i believe, but not tested this) that let's you track them more easily.

Our web servers run with lightty? We have some issues with the cpu consumption of our servers. The problem is that, we don't know exactly which script consumes so much cpu. So, we cant to figure out how much cpu does a php script take. We have tried 3 methods: 1) Microtime: microtime at the beginning and at the end and make the diff. The problem with that is that it takes the execution time of the script, but in our script we make: - connection to database - connection to memcache - connection to session server All of this is not taken into account, so microtime is not that accurate 2) Shell command: we get the pid of the process executing the script and make a 'top' on this pid . The problem is that the php-cgi manages many threads so it's not accurate too. Is there other methods for dealing with this problem. Thanks, best regards, Tanoor.

You're basically saying; if the number of rows is equal to the not of the

The next line is causing your problem though. You're grabbing the first row
with that $row= line, and not doing anything with it. Take that out and it

$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);

All but the first row in alphabetical order are displayed properly.

Re: [PHP] empty() in email message
How are these variables being given their values by php? If you're making use
of register_globals then you're asking for problems.
Perform some sanity checks on your data, like using a regex of /^\d+$/ to check
for numerical values, and turn globals off; its a security breach waiting to
happen.
Get the values from $_GET or $_POST and treat each one as malicious until you
know its within the bounds of your application as a real value.

Re: [PHP] protecting email addresses on a web site
Sorry for top post on phone.
Depending on the type of site and location an email address might be legally
required. For example, a business website in the UK requires a value email
address to be made accessible to all your visitors, which includes blind
people, so no image-only addresses.
Spam is just a fact of life now, and the only real method of protection is a
decent spam filter.
Thanks,
Ash

Copy-n-paste just gives you the email address backwards; screen readers,
because we are using logical ordering and it is stored in memory the way we
expect to read it, will read it correctly.
I was not aware that email harvesters used screen readers. Do you have some
documentation I could read to get up to speed on this?

I didn't say the harvesters used screen readers. I'm saying that if
something is in plain text that a screen reader can understand, what's
to stop an email address harvester? It's not worth their time to analyse
every image (think about where Google is with image searching right now,
and they have a lot more resources at their disposal) but it is easy
enough to read text in a web page. At a push, it's possible to believe
that some might be using rendered CSS to see how an email is rendered.
Thing is, it's nigh on impossible to hide an email address. Use it once
on a mailing list like this and it's there for the whole world to see on
archive listings. I even though that my email wouldn't be found in
a .pdf CV I'd made, but thanks to Google it is now!
Basically, it might not be worth the effort to hide email addresses, and
instead see about setting up spam filtering at the server level. You
don't have to download and filter it your end, and it saves on

It's also possible that the person you tried emailing gave you a fake email address and it's also possible that your domain might be hosted on a cheap hosting account with a company that has been known for other people using their service to host websites that have a bulk mailing script meant for sending spam. The possibility to what could be going on are endless, but out of all the possibilities I can think of, I can't imagine a spammer hijacking your site to send malware from it being one of the more likely possibilities especially if you have a hosting account with cpanel, which is harder to gain unauthorized access to a cpanel hosting account than it is to gain access to a web server's FTP, especially if you allow public FTP uploads to the site, that can be a breading ground for hackers to upload a password sniffing script onto your site via FTP that would track back to their server, which would allow them to hack into your website. Cheap, no name webhosting companies are more likely breading grounds for those kinds of shady charachters. If you have an account with one of those no name companies, I'd recommend changing webhosts immediately, otherwise, you should be ok. If you do, though, and you're not sure who to switch to, I'd recommend hostgator http://secure.hostgator.com/%7Eaffiliat/cgi-bin/affiliates/clickthru.cgi?id=BenBrent. They're not as big as 11 or Godaddy, but there one of the biggest webhosting companies that use cpanel.

I tried that, but I'm getting the syntax error that says unexpected

find harder to set up when writing a script from scratch than it would
be to code a php script to send the data in an email.

I'd like to know the proper code to use in a php script that processes a
form with a checkbox in order to send one email if the checkbox has been
checked and another email if the checkbox hasn't. I tried if($check ==
true) and I tried putting the word true in double quotes, and both of
them caused the unexpected variable syntax error. The only problem
is, all I could think to use was that line of code I just used, I'm not
sure what the proper syntax is for checkbox when using the if statement
to send one email when the checkbox is checked and a different email
when it's not checked. I'm wanting to send an email to the site admin
with the information given by the person who filled out the form that
contains the checkbox.

Re: [PHP] Character encoding hell
Have you tried using the utf8 meta tag rather than using the htmlentities() function? That should solve the first issue, as I reckon the problem lies with the way your encoding the filename. Linux filesystems have far less limitations on filenames, so it could be that windows is doing something odd which coincides with what php is doing. I'm not at my machine right now to test, but you should be able to pass the filename in the url with url_encode and on the server convert it back with url_decode to give you the original filename back. Lastly, have you made sure your php scripts are saved as utf8, as that can sometimes solve some odd problems with character encoding.

For example, I would like to have a common header.php file, but it is difficult to create this since one file needs to have some specific Javascript located in the head /head tags, but the other files doesn't need this. Another file needs to have a specific onload call in the body tag, while yet another file also needs to have an onload call, but with different attributes. I have been looking around in other systems to see what kinds of solutions are being used - as inspiration. I have been thinking about the following solutions: 1. Create only ONE header.php file that contains a lot of conditionals depending on what file is including it - the output of HTML/Javascript changes. I believe this would turn into a very ugly hack. Difficult to maintain. 2. Create a HTML generating class with a set of methods that each contains an adequate amount of parameters. Each method maintains its own HTML tag. For example, docType($type) would generate the doctype specification. I believe this is a cleaner solution, but the problem with code duplication isn't avoided. Some of the presentation logic contains conditionals and the HTML changes when the conditional changes, hence the header content changes, but the doctype, html, and head doesn't necessarily change and they would get duplicated a couple of times in some files. 3. Avoid the problem all together, use output buffering and completely forget about separation between application and presentation. I hope I make sense.

Re: [PHP] PDO working via Apache but not at the command line?
It's most likely because both cli and web modules are using different php.ini
config files. See what the output of a phpinfo() call in both browser and

Subject: [PHP] PDO working via Apache but not at the command line?
To: p...@lists.php.net, php-general@lists.php.net
I have the following very simple script that uses PDO/FreeTDS to connect
to a mssql server. I have PHP Version 5.3.3 running on Linux under
Apache. When I view this script via apache/firefox I get proper output.
If I try and run this via the command line like php db_dump.php I get
an error connecting to the DB:
Unable to connect to Omnia: SQLSTATE[HY000] Unable to connect: Adaptive
Server is unavailable or does not exist (severity 9). Does Apache call
PHP differently than the cli would? Why would Apache method work find,
but direct from the command line cause a problem? Do I need to call php
from the cli with some other argument?

Re: [PHP] Questions from a Newbie
Linux can be run as a GUI, using a window manager. Aside from that, have a look at the manual pages on php.net, which give some good examples of how to use the various mysql functions. Also, on your development machine, its a good idea to turn on errors, as it can indicate where these problems are. You can do this from the php.ini, look for display_errors.

Re: [PHP] odd while behavior...
I wouldn't really use a while statement for this, but a for loop instead, as it
needs less code:
?php
echo select;
for($i =1;$i=12;$i++)
{
$dateformat = date(M, mktime(0,0,0, $i,0,0));
echo HTML
option value=$i$dateformat $i/option
HTML;
}
echo /select;
?
The other code was starting from 0 and going to 12, which is 13 months! Also,
you had the variable being compared as a string, which will work in this
particular case, because php will convert $i to a string before each comparison
in the loop. While it works in this case, its best practice to use the variable
type you need to avoid unusual behavior.
The mktime function is unusual in that indexes for months start at 1 and not 0
as you might expect, but it does indicate that on the manual pages.

To: PHP General list php-general@lists.php.net
Okay so I'm just playing around with some stuff trying to learn more
and expand my knowledge and I ran into something I don't understand...
Take the following code:
?PHP
echo select;
$i =0;
while($i =12) {
$dateformat = date(M, mktime(0,0,0, $i,0,0));
$month = mktime(0,0,0, $i,0,0);
//echo date(M, mktime(0,0,0, $i,0,0));
//echo brinside whilebr;
echo HTML
option value={$i}{$dateformat} {$i}/option
HTML;
$i++;
}
echo /select;
?
which does display a select drop down box with the month's in it...
But on my test server it starts the display at december... With
setting $i = 1 i would have thought it should start at january?
Any ideas on what I missed? :)
Thanks for looking! :)

That's the same query.

Needless to say, new baby so want to show him off (Callum, 7lb4oz) so decided to buy a webname and pay for hosting, however money is a bit tight, so being adventurous (or stupid, not sure which yet) I set up apache on my laptop and started writing a website in Serif's WebPlus10. However I wanted to have an upload area on the site for friends and family to send their pictures of Callum (and the family and anything else they wanted) so there was a central store. However I tried to find some html to handle the upload of these files but wasn't able to work it out, google and various other bitsx of research on the net showed that I probably needed to run a script to do this and PHP seemed the simplest, so I downloaded PHP 5.3.3 and installed it. This is where it started getting tricky as I was using the PHP for dummies book from 2006. I typed that piece of code in (direct from the book) but added it as an html attachment into my site I was building. Uploaded the site to my localhost and had a look. I only got the HTML line from the script. This is where I started contacting you bunch of fine programmers! I have now learned that if I save the script as a .php file and navigate direct to it on localhost it works fine, but I think what I am trying to do is get it to work in an existing webpage so that I can then get my upload working.

Col: If i am reading this correctly, then i think you're looking at this all wrong. If you're working within some kind of page, stored outside of the http://localhost served by apache, like say the .php file is on the desktop... then yeah, you're not going to get the PHP information displayed. (tech people bare with me here...) PHP pages, are compiled when called... so you need apache to call php and translate the PHP code so that if there is any output, it will display that output. If you're trying to show a .php file from teh desktop, then apache isn't handeling this request, and therefor has no idea that there is php code that has to be compiled, and therefore it will just ignore it. I am sure that I am goign to get flamed for that, but i think that it kinda simplifies what apache does for php. NOW... you can run a php file from the command line, but you're not going to get the HTML results as you would had you ran if from the localhost where apache knows what to do with a .php file. So... long story short, if you want PHP to display the PHP stuff, then you will need to have it interpreted by apache (or IIS, or whatever your web server software is) to have it spit back to a web browser client.

Surely it would have been a bit more sensible to work out the time the programmer had spent on the project and then calculate it as a percentage of the total time that programmer would spend on it to complete it (which might not be the whole duration of the project) Also, counting code lines seems unfair. I know it used to be this way, but its a bit like paying firemen based on the number of fires they put out; don't be surprised if arson figures go up!

The case was a dispute where the client wanted money back from a programmer for a discontinued project. The programmer simply wanted to be paid for the work he had done. This wasn't a case where anyone had done anything wrong, but rather a circumstance where two parties were trying to figure out who was due what. You see, the original client had been taken over by another company who put a halt to the project the programmer was working on. The new company claimed that because the project wasn't finished, then the programmer should pay back all the money he was paid up-front to start the project. However, while the project had not been finished, the programmer had indeed worked on the project for several months. The programmer stated he wanted to paid his hourly rate. But the new client stated that the up-front money paid had been based upon a bid and not an hourly rate. So, they were at odds as to what to do. The solution in this case was to place a dollar amount on the actual lines of code the programmer wrote. In other words, they took all of programmers code and actually counted the lines of code he wrote and then agreed to a specific dollar amount to each line. In this case, the programmer had written over 25,000 lines of code. What do you think he was paid? And with all of that said, what dollar amount would you place on your line of code?

Mike,
$results[] will automatically push a value unto the end of an array.
So doing this...
--
$magic = array();
$magic[] = 'a';
$magic[] = 'b';
$magic[] = 'c';
-
is exactly this same as doing this...
--
$normal = array();
$normal[0] = 'a';
$normal[1] = 'b';
$normal[2] = 'c';

And yes, in your example $results[] would be equivalent to $results[$j]

for ($j = 0 ; $j $rows ; ++$j)
{
$results[] = mysql_fetch_array($result);
}
mysql_close($db_server);
My question, in the loop, why does tha author use:
$results[] = mysql_fetch_array($result);
instead of (as I would expect):
$results[$j] = mysql_fetch_array($result);?
What PHP magic is at work here?
Thanks.

Re: [PHP] Elegance is the goal... Sticky form submit help
For a month selector, using a loop to output the months is good, as you can
then within the loop check for that value sent and set the selected html
attribute for that select element.
I should warn you that your code will throw a warning when no data has been
posted to it. Consider using isset() instead to check for posted values rather
than comparing a value (which might not exist) with true.
Thanks,
Ash

Subject: [PHP] Elegance is the goal... Sticky form submit help
To: PHP-General list php-general@lists.php.net
Hey everyone!
Hope you are having a great weekend, and I'm hoping someone might be
coherent enough to help me find a more elegant solution to a problem
that I have...
I have a form for submitting an event to a website, and if the form is
not submitted successfully (such as they didn't fill out a required
field) I want it to redisplay the form with inline errors as to what
happened and display the values they selected...
I have a working solution but was hoping for something a little more
elegant. And something that would work better for a month selector as
well... Here is the relevant code that I have that works:
?PHP
if ($_POST['hidSubmit'] ==TRUE $_POST['type'] == meeting):
echo HTML
select name=type id=type
option value=0-- select type --/option
option value=meeting selectedMeeting/option
option value=event Event/option
/select
HTML;
elseif ($_POST['hidSubmit'] == TRUE $_POST['type'] == event):
//if ($_POST['hidSubmit'] == TRUE $_POST['type'] == event) {
echo HTML
select name=type id=type
option value=0-- select type --/option
option value=meetingMeeting/option
option value=event selectedEvent/option
/select
HTML;
else:
//if ($_POST['hidSubmit'] != TRUE):
echo HTML
select name=type id=type
option value=0 selected-- select type --/option
option value=meetingMeeting/option
option value=eventEvent/option
/select
HTML;
endif;
?
which works BUT I don't want to have to have that for a month selector
or a day selector :)
Any ideas what I'm missing?

Yes, yes I did.
And note that my Java code is incorrect, that should simply be public static
void, no function.

That is a function call. In Java:

Re: [PHP] Broken pipes, time outs, PHP, and mail
Could it be that there are connection limits on the remote server? Thanks, Ash http://www.ashleysheridan.co.uk - Reply message - From: Bob McConnell r...@cbord.com Date: Wed, Sep 8, 2010 18:24 Subject: [PHP] Broken pipes, time outs, PHP, and mail To: php-general@lists.php.net From: Dave M G I have a set of scripts that sends out emails to a list of about 150 people. Sometimes it works fine. Other times, it dies part way through the list, and in my error logs I get this output: fputs() [a href='function.fputs'function.fputs/a]: send of 22 bytes failed with errno=32 Broken pipe /public_html/class.smtp.php 489 The code that sends the mail is derived from here: http://www.phpclasses.org/browse/file/920.html It's mostly rock solid code, so far as I know, so I suspect the problem to more with my server settings or something. That said, I don't know what differentiates a failed mailing and a successful one. After a Google search, it seems broken pipes are a matter of time outs. That's about as far as I understand it, though. Can anyone throw me a tip as to how I might diagnose this problem? Broken pipe is a euphemism for Network error. There are any number of causes including the remote server closing the socket, a switch or hub between here and there is bogged down by backup traffic, or a segment your connection passes through became too busy with higher priority video traffic. The actual details are difficult to determine and none of the administrators involved will ever admit they had a problem. In most cases the TCP/IP error will simply tell you it timed out waiting for a response. Your code should be able to re-open the connection at this point and resend the message that triggered the error. Then resume working on the rest of your list.

Re: [PHP] Error in initialising XML parser
PHO won't automatically include a class file by default. You either need to
manually include it with a require, include it or require_once line, or use an
automagical include script. As it stands, you're getting the error because php
doesn't know where your class is.

Subject: [PHP] Error in initialising XML parser
To: php-general@lists.php.net
Hi
I am writing a PHP snippet to display invoices that is generated by
another computer application. The use case is as follows
1. The other computer application generates the invoices for the month
in XML and puts it in a common dirctory. So at anytime there could be
multiple files. Each file contains several invoices. These invoices are
for different vendors.
2. My PHP snippet will list all the files in the directory. I have got
this part right after a lot of research, phew! It displays only xml
files and keeps out the others like files begining with . (dot) etc.
This is listed as a series of checkboxes so that the user can view the
list of invoices available. Once the user clicks on the checkboxes I
POST the file name to the server with the following code
$BillLocation = /home/cmi/Integration/xml_files;
$StyleSheet = Bill.xsl;
$DirHandle = opendir($BillLocation);
if ($_POST['_submit_check'])
{
$MyBill = new Displaybill($_POST[BillChosen]);
$MyBill-parse($_POST[BillChosen]);
$MyBill-Show_Bill($MemberId, $StyleSheet);
}
{
$result = List_Directory($DirHandle);
}
I get a following error Fatal error: Class 'Displaybill' not found in
/home/sridhar/Sastra/2010-ClubMan-Integration/ListAvailableBills.php on
line 15
I have the Displaybill class in the same location as the other file
still PHP is not able to locate it. What could be wrong? Any help would
be appreciated.
Running the whole thing on localhost with the vhosts configured to teh
above directory.
Best regards
Sridhar

Re: [PHP] Hi
I think you should not focus so much on the file extension, as that is mostly meaningless if someone wanted to attack your system. Instead, you could wrap a call to the command line 'file' command, which gives mostly accurate information about a file. Basically it reads the first few bytes to see it is what it expected. There is a php wrapper for this, but I forget what its called just now. If you do need to just grab a file extension though, you can do it with a call to pathinfo() with the 2nd argument of PATHINFO_EXTENSION.
