[PHP] After a PHP script timeout, Apache logs the error but may not cleanly exit the script
Hi. I'm wondering if anyone can help with this.
We're using PHP and Apache, hosted on a dedicated server running
Debian Linux. The specific versions in each case are mostly
immaterial, as this problem has been around since Debian 6, and is
still present in Debian 7; in the meantime we've been using the latest
versions of all packages.
We're having problems with PHP script timeouts, which although rare,
are behaving erratically and causing severe problems when they do
occur.
The timeouts are always recorded in the Apache log, and sometimes the
script and everything else may execute/terminate correctly, but often,
various failures may be observed, such as:
* timeouts not registered back to PHP - the script may not terminate
as expected (the function registered with register_shutdown_function()
- see code example below - may not be called);
* after a timeout, Apache may run in the background indefinitely,
using up CPU resources in one core;
* Apache may fail altogether - no further requests serviced - Apache
must be restarted.
The exact cause of the fault has not been found. It is reproducible on
all servers we deploy to.
Example PHP script:
//...
function _on_shutdown()
{
if (connection_status() CONNECTION_TIMEOUT)
{
echo 'ERROR: TIMEOUT!';
//Do something else...
}
exit;
}
register_shutdown_function('_on_shutdown');
//...more code here...
//(various potentially long running scripts which may timeout)
The above was also posted here:

I felt to over complicate the problem by pushing them into another function was not the best approach. Yes they should understand the security risk and i take the reasonability for not fully explaining the ramifications for using such a function. If you knew my staff you would know I am the last person to think old ways is any approach i will accept. I will end the conversation with an apology to person asking the question, because i should have went into more detail and to anyone this conversation has mislead into thinking i think that function is anything BUT outmode.

As much as the php list would like to force people from using mysql, I guess

Thank you issue resolved for some reason it was passing the credentials with

Not sure why it is suddenly passing the fully qualified domain name now but as

Why would the PDO connection be referring back to its own localhost instead
of
the intended domain.
I have tried this by fully qualified domain name, same thing.
I have ensured the route does exist on the connecting server.
I have ensured there is no local reference to the domain name/IP back to its
self.
I log into 171.16.23.44 and there is NO record of the failed attempt.
I validate the user has remote access rights.
I validate there is not a firewall rule blocking the host/port/you name it.
I telnet from the server to the destination via port 3306 it connects.
BTW (171.16.23.44) IS FAKE I AM USING THE IP AS AN EXAMPLE HERE.
Any clue as to WHY the host parameter is not setting or is it setting and
something else is wrong?
Have you tried running FLUSH HOSTS on the MySQL server?

Chris,
Let me first apologize for a couple syntax errors I had in the real
quick explanation.
I answered your question in relationship to your knowledge of the subject based
on the question it's self.
I want to apologize for the comments that followed my reply, seems some people
can't make constructive comments
if their life depended on it. While the more complex version in PDO is the
preferred method to obtain objects
from mysql. This does require you to have the basic fundamentals of object
oriented programming skills,
which I am guessing at this point you do not have based on how the question was
phrased.
There are many people in the list who will gladly point you in the direction to
learning aids and tutorials to get you started.
Good Luck :)

RE: [PHP] Differences
Hi everyone, I have been playing around with some code the list helped me
with a while back and I'm not grasping the concept between return and echo
and the PHP manual doesn't answer this, unless I'm missing something. There
is an example at the very bottom of PHP's return manual, but it's
confusing.
So now I'm left wondering why return will only give me the first result in
an array, but echo will give me all the results of the array. Using stuart's
example he had sent me a while back I've messed around with it and modified
it to better understand it:
function filename($prefix)
{
$matches = glob('images/property_pics/'.$prefix.'*');
foreach($matches as $filename){
return $filename;
}
}
echo completeImageFilename($row['MLS_No']);
With the above code I only get the first image of each picture name, but
when I change return to echo, it groups and displays all the pics that have
the same picture name.

The first loop and return is all you will get.
Put the information into an array and return the array once the array is
built.

The first return will stop the process you need to put the information into

the image and then
Do what looked like a normal echo UPLOADED_IMAGES.$_FILE[name]; You seen
phpinfo() called but it was not in the script rather in the image.
He opened the test.jpg in a text editor and sure enough there was ?php

not a safe language in front of a rather large group or people in the

If someone uploads a image through a form or whatever and they have embedded
a code in can that code inside the image be executed by viewing the file?

Echo IMG SRC='.$image.';

Yes I know the array above it small it's an example, mine has over 150

$foundyou = array_search('you', $myarray); $foundthem =
array_search('them', $myarray);
Now I want to take all the array positions from $foundyou to
$foundthem and put their values into a variable; For the life of me I
can't remember how I did it.
I DO NOT want to foreach over the array positions that would be
counterproductive.
Well, depends on exactly what you mean by and put their values into a
variable. Do you mean concatenate all the values into one single flat
variable. Or do you mean to make a subset array of the values between your
two points you found?
First, check out array_slice.
Second, look at join
?php
$myarray = array(
'0'='me',
'1'='you',
'2'='her',
'3'='him',
'4'='them',
'5'='us',
);
$s_pos = array_search('you', $myarray);
$f_pos = array_search('them', $myarray);
# Calculate the length, it is needed by array_slice() $length = ($f_pos -
$s_pos);
$subset_array = array_slice($myarray, $s_pos, $length);
print_r($subset_array);
$all_values = join(', ', $subset_array);
echo $all_values;
?
Obviously, you need to add in some error checking. But that should get you
started.

[PHP] Dynamic Content thoughts
Hello everyone,
In my quest to build bigger and better dynamic content, I am
putting forth a concept to see what you all think.
Many times I come across customers who want drop down menus dynamically
built from database tables.
Old way Example:
Echo 'SELECT ID=personneloption value='0'--Please Select--/option';
$query = SELECT * FROM personnel ORDER BY last_name;
$result = mysql_query($query);
If(mysql_num_rows($result) = 1)
{
While($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result))
{
Echo option value='.$row['ID'].'.$row['first_name'].
.$row['last_name']./option;
}
}
Echo '/select';
*
I am purposing a Method for this that has some flexibility.
Initialize Object: $yourobject = new yourclass();
Call method: // The call design is just so you have a better understanding
of my concept
$dropdown = $yourobject- dropmenu('personnell','ID',array(0 =
'first_name', 1 = 'last_name'), 'last_name');
Function dropmenu($table,$fieldforvalue,$fieldstodisplay,$fieldorder) //
Yes you could add some WHERE filters as well
{
$arraytoreturn = array();
If(strlen($table) = 3){
if(is_array($fieldstodisplay)){
$count = 0;
foreach($fieldstodisplay as $key=$values){
if(strlen($values) =3){
If($count == 0){
$fields = $values;
}else{
$fields . = ,.$values;
}
$count++;
}
}
}else{
If(strlen(($fieldstodisplay) = 1){
$fields = $fieldstodisplay;
$fieldstodisplay = array(0
=$fieldstodisplay);
}else{
Return $arraytoreturn; // Return nothing
because no field was selected.
}
}
}else{
Return $arraytoreturn; // Return nothing because no table was selected.
}
If(strlen($fieldorder) = 3) {
$orderfilter = ORDER BY .$fieldorder. ;
}else{
$orderfilter = ;
}
$query = SELECT .$fields. FROM .$table. .$orderfilter. ;
$result = mysql_query($query);
If(mysql_num_rows($result) = 1)
{
$arraytoreturn[] = option value=0--Please Select--/option;
While($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result))
{
$display_fields = ;
Foreach($fieldstodisplay as $key=$values){
$display_fields .= $row[$values]. ;
}
If(strlen($fieldforvalue = 3){
$arraytoreturn[] = option
value='.$row[$fieldforvalue].'.$display_fields ./option;
}else{
$arraytoreturn[] = option.$display_fields ./option;
}
}
Return $arraytoreturn;
}else{
Return $arraytoreturn; // Nothing to return.
}
}
Now I can call the drop downs driven by database tables dynamically and It
saves me a TON of time.
Echo 'SELECT ID=personnel';
Foreach($dropdown as $key=$values){
Echo $values;
}
Echo '/select';

Hi Richard,
First of all, I don't really see the problem with the first code, as it's not
that many LOC. OTOH comparing it to the enormous amount of lines needed for
your function it seems a bit overkill. If you combine $query = .. and
mysql_query($query), to a single line (which I prefer), then you only have 4
lines of code in your first example. ( I only count lines that do something,
not the brackets etc). Your function has about 40.
If you still want this function, I would change a few things.
1) Do all the echo stuff inside your function, or, only return the data and
print the option html stuff outside of your function.
You're now mixing both which seems wrong.
2) Use SQL as input, and if you wish to make it easy for yourself, write a
seperate function that writes SQL queries for you (or just use a lib for it,
there are probably plenty).
3) Use mysqli, mysql is deprecated.
4) Use mysqli_real_escape_string to sanitize your input before using it on the
database.
Hope this helps you,
- Matijn

Thank you Matijn,
For coding style, I think we can agree on the fact each person has a
different style and reasoning's for their own style.
My style on SQL statements was passed down to me from some very successful
developers who felt the reason for creating a
SQL statement in such a manor was to assist in informatics and Debugging.
While you're not getting the point in the Method being in the class and called
when needed. It cuts coding size and time down by extremes when you have
multiple drop downs that may or may not repeat on different views.
Matijn was very correct on the combination of HTML and PHP in a Method and I do
agree, many feel this is a giant no no. Many could simply pass the array to the
view and create the drop down from there. The wonderful part of the method is
that it has the flexibility to meet many coding styles and a vast range of
abilities.
I do however feel the Mysql_real_escape_string to be un-necessary for the
developer, being the end-user(GUI between the keyboard and Chair) will not be
passing these fields to the Database. But escape away if you feel safer doing
this with-in your own version of the method.
As for the MYSQL VS MYSQLI in MOST benchmarks, I find the MYSQL extension to be
slightly faster.
Yes MYSQLI functions are more Object-oriented in some designs I feel MYSQL out
performs MYSQLI in large database setups for a personal preference.
Again you may change the Design of the method to meets your needs MYSQL or
MYSQLI doesn’t really take away from the concept.

I'm interested in user experience to a limited extent. My interest stops when a user wants the code to wipe their nose for them. Can we make the website automatically update our accounting system and then write a check for the cost of goods to the vendor? Sure. How much money do you have? (Their accounting system is some inscrutable pile of Windows COM objects, like SAP, behind a firewall. And they don't even know which vendor to write the check to. I guess mental telepathy is a part of the PHP libraries not installed on my development system.) Or when someone sends the form on the website for an appointment request, can you make a reminder pop up on all the desktops in the office? No, I can't. Here's an idea: assign someone to check the email for appointment requests throughout the day, and contact the customer to confirm, based on you actually *looking* at your appointment calendar. Sheesh. Apparently, computers (not mine) are capable of performing magic tricks. I think my screens should be fairly self-explanatory, if possible. But I'm averse to making them idiot-proof. If you're an idiot, get someone else to operate your computer for you. You shouldn't be using one. But there may be times when a computer screen or set of screens will absolutely require some training, rather than someone completely unfamiliar with the workings of the office just sitting down and being able to guess how to operate the system. You didn't learn to drive by just sitting in a car and guessing how it is done. Don't expect a web-based application to be operable simply by guessing, necessarily. By the way, I'm quite happy to write documentation for systems. Unfortunately, more than half the people who read anything can't actually *apply* what they read to whatever system they're working with. Supposedly they can read.

Not to promote them but VSPHP is an amazing product, as a standalone or integrated into Visual Studio 2010. I have enjoyed using this product for the last couple years. I am a HUGE Visual Studio advocate, when VSPHP came along I exclusively use VS and notepad to develop applications in. Is this the BEST product? No clue!!

Saves me time, headaches and I can search an entire project for every instance of variable and no need to open each page.

Subject: [PHP] Best practice question regarding set_include_path()
For my applications, I've been using includes and other file addressing by
using the doc root as the base dir. e.g.
require_once $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] .
'/miniRegDB/includes/miniRegDBconfig.php';
Recently, I ran into a problem with a new installation on a shared host
where the doc root was assigned in an unusual manner. I rather not require
setting a custom base dir [instead of $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']'] for my
applications.
So, I was wondering if it would be good practice to use the
set_include_path() and add the base dir for my applications. I've used this
for dealing with Pear function files on shared servers and had no problems.
Need some guidance regarding this subject.
Thanks
--
I use define to set the application path
define('BASE_PATH','C:\\inetpub\\vhosts\\yourwebsite.com\\httpdocs\\');
Example:
require_once (BASE_PATH. '/miniRegDB/includes/miniRegDBconfig.php');
works great for JQuery paths
script
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#dareport').html('img src=?php echo BASE_URL;?images/loading.gif
/');
});
/script
To me it is much better than set_include_path() but works in the same
premise

Subject: [PHP] I need a good access and error log..
Hi.
I've been using Google Analytics, and I'm sure I'm using the analytics code
correctly, but when I checked my dev server's apache access logs (dozens of
hits per day) against what Google Analytics reports (zip, zero, nada), I
realized I needed something different. BTW, I'm not the only one to report
this problem
(https://www.google.nl/search?aq=fsourceid=chromeie=UTF-8q=google+analyti
cs+lower+number)
I thought of rolling something of my own, a PHP-MySQL based
access+error log, add a viewer for it (http://dygraphs.com/ perhaps),
and spend the next month perfecting it..
But before I start coding, I thought it would be better to ask you all what
you use to see who's visiting your sites and when.
Oh, I need something that will work on shared hosting (php+mysql).
Thanks for your input.
(and purists; I couldn't think of a better place to post this, as this is a
large community of web developers who use the same language as I do. I may
even end up writing an opensourced php logging facility for
you)
--
I have seen and dealt with this for a few companies.
I have setup PHP scripting, JavaScript, Perl scripting you name it I have
tried it.
I have NEVER came up with the same number Google Analytics comes up with.
Sporadic behavior from Analytics not tied to a unique browser, OS or time.
Almost like random addition values are just added to the total for no
reason.
I like Google, but the numbers are not real!
When I can track each and every visit, site navigation and the numbers do
not match.
I asked Google for click by click information IP, Time and any other
information they could give me.
I never got that list to this day. Probably because it would allow me to
argue traffic that simply didnt happen!
Suggestions when logging traffic, Avoid JavaScript that relies on the client
side to tell you information. Bad Idea!
Use php, perl or any server side language.
When logging information remember that apache/.NET process web request and
generally the best place to log.
It you log at the process you do not need to have scripting in each landing
page.
Log light information, never request overwhelming amounts of information for
each request you may cause horrid loading results.
PHP example (Just a simple example, there are many ways to do it)
Index.php
?php
$query = INSERT INTO click_log (`ip`,`action_time`) VALUES
('.$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'].','.date(y-m-d H:i:s).') ;
$result = mysql_query($query);
?
I HIGHLY recommend you have a full understand of httaccess or web.config
before you attempt logging from them.

Ever had a script not fully transfer, and only partial code remains? With SVN you can roll it back and Whala! You have the original source back. For one of my roles as Project Manager, I love Tortoise SVN. I have changed the scripting a bit to send me emails with descriptions of changes as they happen with attached files. This way I can actually filter my emails to find the exact person who made the bad change, what they had, and what they did instead of searching the logs. Since my developers can only push to the Development Servers I can fix issues before they become a Production Issue. No more, Developers having access to the server directly. They make their changes and commit their changes up, I review and can schedule changes to be committed to Production Servers. To setup a new Developer I simply check out the SVN library for them and they are up to speed day one. The setup is very easy, Yes the controls are a tiny bit confusing at FIRST.

Examine the URL patterns and rewrite the URL appending to the string. This will allow you a little more control. I completely disagree on the blocking IP concept and this can lead to network latency and other issues, redirecting traffic is more efficient. I think the scare factor of products like black hole are really just that. Bots are not always a bad thing, when your server becomes more popular people are interested in content so controlling the bots is key. IP addresses can be spoofed and if you have an auto block this could be your undoing in the long run.

Tedd,
This area was always a little grey to me.
I have used -1 to obtain the previous months for some time now.
0 always indicated the beginning index of the current month but the
explanation never seemed to fit the bill.
Having worked extensively in time manipulation in many of the development
projects I have come up with a rule of thumb.
$this_month = date('Y-m-d 00:00:00',mktime(0,0,0,date('m'),1,date('Y')));
$previous_month = date('Y-m-d
00:00:00',mktime(0,0,0,date('m')-1,1,date('Y')));
$next_month = date('Y-m-d 00:00:00',mktime(0,0,0,date('m')+1,1,date('Y')));
To get the days of any given month or just about anything you need to just
use the strtotime
$days_in_month = date('j',strtotime($this_month));

Subject: [PHP] Function mktime() documentation question
Hi gang:
I am using the getdate(mktime()) functions to get month data (i.e., name of
month, first weekday, last day, number of days).
To get the number of days for a specific month, I use:
// $current_month is the month under question
$next_month = $current_month + 1;
$what_date = getdate(mktime(0, 0, 0, $next_month, 0, $year));
$days_in_current_month = $what_date['mday'];
That works for me!
However, if you read the documentation, namely:
http://php.net/manual/en/function.mktime.php
It states:
--- quote
day
The number of the day relative to the end of the previous month. Values 1 to
28, 29, 30 or 31 (depending upon the month) reference the normal days in the
relevant month. Values less than 1 (including negative values) reference the
days in the previous month, so 0 is the last day of the previous month, -1
is the day before that, etc. Values greater than the number of days in the
relevant month reference the appropriate day in the following month(s).
--- un-quote
From my code, the number of days in a month can be found by using 0 as the
first index of the next month -- not the last day of the previous month.
As such, I would re-write the relevant portion of the paragraph to be:
day
The number of the day relative to the end of the previous month. Values 1 to
28, 29, 30 or 31 (depending upon the month) reference the normal days in the
relevant month. Values less than 0 reference the days in the previous month.
For example, -1 is the day before the first day of the relevant month. The
value 0 is the zero index of the next month, which is also equal to the last
day of the relevant month. Values greater than zero are the number of days
in the relevant month reference the appropriate day in the following
month(s).
What say you?

I looked at this answer and see the date is from an array of a database
and not 2 fields with in the table. While the DATEDIFF() is very useful
in queries this will not help you unless both fields are in the table.
Try this example $dteStartDate[$intCnt] = new DateTime($row[10]);
$dteEndDate[$intCnt] =new DateTime($row[11]); $interval =
$dteStartDate[$intCnt]-diff($dteEndDate[$intCnt]); echo $interval-
format('%R%a days');

I have a page I am trying to create where I am comparing the values of
two
MySQL date fields with the current date. One of the MySQL Date fields
is a class start date, the other is the class end date.
all needs to do is modify his query.
Thank you Eric,
Date conversion is a popular issue when converting the language from
one to the next.
I prefer to manage any date filtering outside of MySQL because sometimes the
fields are not clean or formatted correctly, and the DATEDIFF() of MySQL
just fails.
This failure can be devastating when dealing with a MySQL replication setup.
I gauge the MySQL process against the PHP process and determine which is
faster and which do I have more effective controls in.
I have found I have better flexibility and control of date filtering in PHP.
But squirrels will be squirrels...

Suggestion only.
if (isset($pubdate)) $pubdate = strtotime($pubdate);
if (isset($pubdate)) $pubdate = strftime(%m.%d.%Y %H:%M:%S, $pubdate);
could be
if (isset($pubdate)) $pubdate = mktime(m d Y
H:i:s,strtotime($pubdate));
Reducing the code
I also changed this to MKtime from strftime because The %e modifier is not
supported in the Windows implementation of this function. To achieve this
value, the %#d modifier can be used instead. The example below illustrates
how to write a cross platform compatible function.

Subject: [PHP] Syntax Question
I, too, am a super newbie. I have a beginning knowledge of being able
to
read php and understand its syntax but I can¹t write it. This is a
bit
complicated but here¹s my problem:
I want to create a variable in PHP that I can use to link to an image
in our
museum's image website. We have done it with ColdFusion here but I need
the
same thing for PHP because I¹m building a site using a php-based CMS
called
Omeka.
In ColdFusion the variable is written:
cfset tmpImageDirectory = getToken(artwork.accessionNumber, 1, .)
Basically, it¹s saying find the image on our server by looking for its
accession number within the year directory. Since the first part of the
accession number is the year we got the artwork this variable is saying
look
for the accession number in the year directory by first looking at the
first
part of that accession number (the year), look in that year directory
and
then use the entire accession number to find the image within that
directory. An example of an accession number is 2011.15. That¹s saying
that
artwork was the 15th artwork brought into our collection in 2011. On
our
image server it will be found in a directory called 2011. (Am I making
sense?)
Then the Coldfusion call is:
a
href=http://ids.si.edu/ids/dynamic?container.fullpageid=http://americ
anart
.si.edu/images/#tmpImageDirectory#/#artwork.accessionNumber#_1a.jpg
(the
1a.jpg is simply the size image we want to call).
I need to be able to do the same thing with PHP but have no idea how.
More information: within my site I¹m housing the accession number in a
mySQL
database. I¹ve gotten a bit of help on this already (but not enough,
that¹s
why I¹m turning to you).
I was told I need to create two variables [('Dublin Core','Identifier')
is
the name of the field that houses the accession number):
$accessionNumber = item('Dublin Core','Identifier');
$tmpImageDirectory = strtok($accessionNumber,.);
And then create a third variable to create a url variable
$url =
http://ids.si.edu/ids/dynamic?container.fullpageid=http://americanart
.si.e
du/images/
http://ids.si.edu/ids/dynamic?container.fullpageid=http://americanart
.si.e
du/images/$tmpImageDirectory/$artwork.accessionNumber_1a.jpg +
$tmpImageDirectory + / + $accessionNumber + _1ajpg;
That's as far as I've gotten. I don't know how to put all of these
together
using proper PHP syntax. Can someone help me with this? Thanks.
Best, Jeff

I am not sure I agree with the way you are setting the $url it looks like
you have mashed and a url hyperlink partially into 1.
Like you are trying to set the $url as a image with a link are you trying to
set a link or an image as the $url?
If you are trying to set a image as the $url do this.
$url = image

OK. I should have made myself clearer - I was making an observation

My
bad.
My third example showed that {${XYZ}} would echo the value of the
variable called the value of XYZ:
?php
define ('XYZ','ABC');
$ABC=huh!;
echo {${XYZ}}\n;
?
Output - huh!
We could easily re-write the 'echo' line above to be:
echo {${constant('XYZ'}}\n;
But my example shows that PHP *is* accessing the value of a constant
without any jiggery-pokery or hacks (e.g. http://www.php.net/manual/en/
language.types.string.php#91628) as it is retrieving the value of ABC
from the XYZ constant and then looking for a variable of that name.
I admit that I'm no C coder but it may be possible (note, the word
may)
that a change of code within the PHP source tree will allow us to use
something like echo {{XYZ}} to access the constant value.

Ash,
I have a few questions.
I use constants in my OOP and I never use the heredoc syntax. Now I am fearing
that I have not taken advantage of something.
My understanding of heredoc syntax as of 5.3 is just a string quoting right?
Is there an advantage of using the heredoc syntax over single quoted or double
quoted?
Examples:
Echo 'your constant for the javascript path is '.DIR_JAVA;
Echo EOT
Your constant for the JavaScript path is {{DIR_JAVA}}
EOT;
I fully understand the syntax but I do not understand the advantages of using
either.
Is it just a writing style, or is there an advantage to the way it processes,
speed or something?

RE: [PHP] Re: Parent Limits?
Brian,
I totally get what you are saying.
I just may have not translated my thoughts to you very well and I am very
sorry for that.
I tested the design on a few of my servers.
I had issues on my windows Servers and did not have issues on my RHEL
servers
There is an actual term for this practice it is called Linkal Gymnastics
I have read many articles on this issue, in trying to explain the path
issues using ../ .
Many complain of performance issues in windows as well as Linux.
I want to propose something and you tell me if it makes sense.
Load the path to the file, not from the current location.
It is just bad practice, and if you ever change the location of the file you
have major problems.
You're not guessing at the location backwards and running into performance
issues.
Instead of loading the file in reverse
require_once(../../../../ini.inc.php); -- this path could be wrong.
try
require_once(C:/intepub/vhost/yourdoamin.com/httpdocs/www/ini.inc.php);--
unless you move it the direct path is always right.
You can create constants as I said before making your life easier.
define('BASE_PATH','C:\\inetpub\\vhosts\\yourdoamin.com\\httpdocs\\');
simply calling
require_once(BASE_PATH.www/ini.inc.php);
I cannot tell you why there are performance issue, but there are and it
seems to be more directory path issues than php.
They did write a paper on this issue at Texas U under Computer Science

Subject: [PHP] Re: Parent Limits?
With all kind respect to Richard Buskirk and Daniel Brown (thank you for
responding), their replies did not actually answer my question.
My question is: What module or php.ini setting would render inoperative a
directory traversal of X parents?
My original post follows.
The following works (three parents):
include(../../../includes/ini.inc.php);
require_once(../../../includes/ini.inc.php);
The following works (four parents):
include(../../../../includes/ini.inc.php);
The following does not work (four parents):
require_once(../../../../includes/ini.inc.php);
That is, require_once() with four parents has been reported to have been
disabled for security purposes. But apparently, not disabled is include()
with four parents.
The device or setting which is causing the problem is not known to me. It
may be just the four parents (and include() is getting the data from this
file elsewhere) or it may be the combination.
It has been reported this is not a limit within open_basedir. So, what is
it? What module or php.ini setting would have this effect?
Thank you.

If the issue is a caching proxy or browser caching I suggest you look into controlling the page caching header. You can expire the header. // calc an offset of 24 hours $offset = 3600 * 24; // calc the string in GMT not localtime and add the offset $expire = Expires: . gmdate(D, d M Y H:i:s, time() + $offset) .

The message for Netscape was very clear, the development community refused to write for it they had started a precedence that could not be forgotten. I say communities will not forget this act and remove the browser from their systems rather than be forced into an update for security reasons. Honestly, rarely do any of my customers use FF, and their reasons are justified in their mind, so I do not argue the point.

The following works (three parents):

The following works (four parents):
include(../../../../includes/ini.inc.php);
The following does not work (four parents):
require_once(../../../../includes/ini.inc.php);
That is, require_once() with four parents has been reported to have been
disabled for security purposes. But apparently, not disabled is include()
with four parents.
The device or setting which is causing the problem is not known to me. It
may be just the four parents (and include() is getting the data from this
file elsewhere) or it may be the combination.
It has been reported this is not a limit within open_basedir. So, what is
it? What module or php.ini setting would have this effect?
Thank you.

RE: [PHP] Doctrine madness!
While I do agree with your discloser of the bloat for all off the shelf frameworks. I created my own framework and my development time drop drastically and not by a few hours, in some cases days. The complaint of time is always an issue, if you do not scope out a project properly. Timelines and IPR's (In Process Reviews) will keep the developers sane, and the customer happy. It tells the customer: I have given you expectation timelines on how long it will take me to get to each point in development. It also gives you an opportunity to find obstacles in development that can be discussed or redirected with another option before the project begins. Any added edge on the timelines, allows for extra creativity and pit falls. The worst thing you can do? Not take time to understand your development process and coding practices. To use someone else's framework is asking for trouble. Like most who download a framework, install it. They just setup the config and start programming. Bad, Bad, BAD If you took the time to flow through the framework, you might understand all the things you never want to happen that can cause serious latency issues. Then soon learn, you are better off just writing your own or developing a coding practice that keeps your timelines consistent. If you are using a database, PLEASE learn what is called Relational modeling. The fastest server in the world will not help a poorly designed database, causing 78% of all latency in projects that are DB driven.

RE: [PHP] Ftp upload
Andre, I have checked the $_POST, and THE $_FILES.
I am pretty sure the actual path is not passed. Now you can find the path on
the server in the tmp_name of the $_FILES array.
I have read a few DOM related issue concerning the PATH of the file uploaded in
mulitpart/form-data.
Microsoft: Internet Explorer 7 and later. By default, Internet Explorer does
not include folder or directory path information when uploading files to sites.
So this means the Clients Browser is passing the file name NOT the path.
I am sure if you dig around in JavaScript you may find a way to see the value
of that attribute on submit or click.
I have never wanted to know the actual file path from the end user, nor has it
ever been a request for me to do so.
You can however change the ini for upload_max_filesize and post_max_size inside
of your php script at the top.

Hi everyone,
I would like to have a possibility to upload really large files to the

As we all know, the post_max_size parameter is set to 8Mb by default.
However, I see that the ftp_put() function has a local filepath
parameter.
And the question is: how can I retrieve the local filepath if a user
browses to the file from his/her PC?
Thanks!

Anything over 7 MB to me should be done with FTP.
You have a lot of issues with file corruption, length of upload, and bandwidth
on each end.
But you have to remember, I am crazy in the head. I think that customer

RE: [PHP] php hide menu
Dynamically changing displays can be done with JavaScript.
First thing I want you to think of is whether or not your 2nd and 3rd menus
require information from the first menu to display or sort.
According to what I see they do not.
If they do not :
We start off wrapping each of the second and 3rd menus in a DIV element and
turning them off to display. I am using 2 options pick which one is best for
you.
We can display them individually by ID or by the group of class. Now we
give an ID attribute to the first menu.
echo select ID='market' name='term'option value=''Choose
Market/option\n;
DIV ID=Menu2 class=other_menus style=display: none; Put your 2nd menu
in here /DIV
DIV ID=Menu3 class=other_menus style=display: none; Put your 3nd menu
in here /DIV
In this example I will utilize JQuery.js IF you do not have it you can
download it from www.jquery.com .
Please do not use both function if you use a class use the class if you use
and ID base use the ID
script type=text/javascript src=jquery.js/script
script
$(document).ready(function(){
// this will display them by ID
$('#market').change(
Function() {
Val marketvalue = $(This).val(); // I am doing this because
what if they change the menu back to the default value of ''
If(marketvalue = 1)
{
$('#Menu2').show();
$('#Menu3').show();
}else{
$('#Menu2').hide();
$('#Menu3').hide();
}
}
);
// this will display them by the class
$('#market').change(
Function() {
Val marketvalue = $(This).val(); // I am doing this because
what if they change the menu back to the default value of ''
If(marketvalue = 1)
{
$('.other_menus').show();
}else{
$('.other_menus').hide();
}
}
);
});
/script
This will display the menu items as soon as they pick from the first menu
NOT requiring a submit.
If you do require the value from the first menu to be passed to the select
statements for the other menus let me know I will explain how that is done,
it is a little more complex.

[PHP] Unique multi dimensional arrays
I have worked for some time on developing a method for this issue. The
problem has always been the flexibility of the method to work in any
situation.
I had initially thought this might be my solution.
Function multi_dim_unique($array='')
{
For ($a=0;$b=count($array);$a$b;$a++) {
For ($c=0,$d=count($array[$a]);$c$d;$c++) {
$tmp = $array[$a][$c];
If (!isset
($record_array[$tmp])) {
$record_array[$tmp] = $c;
}
}
}
Foreach ($record_array as $key=$value) {
$array[$value][] = $key;
}
Return $array;
}
While this concept work perfect for multi dimensional arrays like.
$array = (0=array(0=12345,1=67890),1=array(0=12345,1=67890,2=1));
I find myself constantly needing to dig deeper and unique at other positions
of the array but still have the flexibility.
$array = array([0] = array(['Company'] = array( [0] = ABC,[1] =
CBS,[2] = NBC), [Owners] = array ( [0] = John,[1] = Mark,[2] = John));
In a desire to find the unique Owner names from the array above. The initial
method is not accommodating for this array and will return the entire array
as presented.
My new thoughts are to pass a parameter to the method for the position I
want unique.
$position = 'Owners';
multi_dim_unique($array,$postion);
Here lies the problem finding the position match no matter how many
dimensions there are.
My question is has anyone tackled this issue and may have some suggestions
as to how I may reconstruct the method to be a bit more accommodating to
situations like this.

RE: [PHP] Detecting HTTPS connections under Apache
The %{HTTPS} variable is not an Apache core variable. A more-portable
solution is to check %{SERVER_PORT} for port 80 or port 443 -- or for not
port 80 or not port 443.
Also, you're requiring an *exact* match on not /user or not /admin,
meaning that directory and file paths below these directories will not be
matched -- They will always be redirected by the second rule.
In addition, the URL-path in the Request_URI variable always starts with a
slash, and a RewriteCond should not be used to test the URL-path unless the
RewriteRule cannot be used to do this.
Finally, since the rules are already scoped to http and https by their
locations within the vHost containers, checking %{HTTPS} or %{SERVER_PORT}
is probably not even necessary.
Most likely, correcting the second problem will fix your code, and the other
inefficiencies can be removed as well:
VirtualHost *:80
RewriteRule ^/((user|admin)(/.*)?)$ https://example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
/VirtualHost
VirtualHost _default_:443
RewriteCond $1 !^(user|admin)(/.*)?$
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ http://example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
/VirtualHost
[added] Alternative format for second rule -- I'm not sure, but it might be
faster:
VirtualHost _default_:443
RewriteRule !^/(user|admin)(/.*)?$ http://example.com%{REQUEST_URI}
[R=301,L]
/VirtualHost

Subject: [PHP] Detecting HTTPS connections under Apache
Hi,
Apologies if this is covered somewhere but I've searched fairly
extensively and not found anything.
I'm working on an application which has a function for redirecting to a
given URL. This is generally used for redirecting after a form has been
submitted.
Right now it sends an HTTP URL in the redirection, which means it can't
work under a secure connection.
I'd like to be able to use it over HTTPS but don't want to force people to
do this. So ideally I'd like to be able to detect the protocol in use
and send the appropriate protocol in the Location header.
The problem is that, at least on the system I'm working on, I can't see
any way of detecting the protocol. _SERVER[SERVER_SIGNATURE] and
_SERVER[SERVER_ADDR] both give the port as 80, even if I specify port
443 in the URL. I've seen references to _SERVER[HTTPS] or something
similar but it's not in the output I get from either print_r ($_SERVER)
or phpinfo ().
I'm running PHP Version 5.3.3-7+squeeze1 on Apache/2.2.16 (Debian). The
machine is an x86-64 VPS running Debian Squeeze.
I have full access to the VPS, so if something needs tweeking in Apache
(or anything else) then I can do this.
Thanks in advance,
Geoff.
