[PHP] mysql custom global defined variable
In my database design, I tend to store some variable that is meant to be acting
as a ROLE or TYPE as SMALLINT. For example :
CREATE TABLE `house` (
`id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`type` smallint(11) NOT NULL,
)
And in php, I do
define('HOUSE_SMALL_TYPE', '0');
define('HOUSE_MEDIUM_TYPE', '1');
So in php, in SELECT queries I do :
$this-db-query(SELECT * FROM house
WHERE type=?;, HOUSE_SMALL_TYPE);
My questions are :
1. In the php part, is there is a better way to do this ?
2. In the mysql itself, does mysql also has global define functionality (like
the define in php) ? I also want to do kind of SELECT * FROM house WHERE type =
HOUSE_SMALL_TYPE in mysql query.

I just posted the following at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3481880/what-php-extensions-are-preferred-and-what-about-security-preferences/5223539#5223539; Am I missing anything or are all these guides and hosts either not disabling enough functions or disabling security aids to give warning messages with dangerous results. _ Why do so many hosts and guides disable escapeshell[arg|cmd] which are security aids and leave shell_exec enabled. Leads to opening up your servers to untrusted execution due to things like this. http://www.silverstripe.org/hosting-requirements/show/10777; The only thing I can think of is using it twice might cause problems and safe mode used to be widespread and so would apply escapeshellcmd automatically And now the hosts just copy configs blindly and in error and don't understand and so trust the 100s of threads that say you should do this. Yeah, use it as reference, I'm looking at it, but don't trust it because some good host uses it __ Surely this matters more than removing safe mode despite defence in depth because users believe it to be a safety blanket and may not also use chroot and permissions etc. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Check boxes (assuming you have more than one in the set) are generally

echo pre;
print_r($_POST);
echo /pre;

And I guess you could reinvent the wheel, or actually process your

// Roll your own print_r()
foreach ($_POST as $p = $q) {
echo $p. -.$q. br /;

All the recipes can be stored in a MySQL database, and then you can use a simple couple of queries to produce the recipe list and the recipe pages dynamically. This also has the advantage that it's very easy to search the recipe list when it becomes larger, and if you ever want to change the layout/presentation of the whole system you won't have to recreate all the recipe pages. The DB could have several columns labelled: id, name, ingredients, method So, the form page (lets assume it's called add.php) could submit to itself which then adds the recipe to the DB with a query like: INSERT INTO recipes(name, ingredients, method) VALUES($name, $ingredients, $method) This is only a very simple example which could be extended to use another table for ingredients for a recipe. Don't forget to sanitise any input coming from the form with mysql_real_escape_string() for inserting it into the DB. The list.php page could just use a simple query like: SELECT id, name FROM recipes And then create a link to each recipe in the form: recipe.php?recipe=id (where id is the numerical value used in the DB) and that would then use a query like: SELECT * FROM recipe WHERE id=$recipe MySQL is available on most hosting that you'll find has support for PHP, and every Linux distribution I've seen has it too.

urls any different from the 'unfriendly dynamic' ones. Next time you
search for something online have a look at the URLs and see how many
belong to forums with dynamic URLs. More than you'd think I would
imagine, but it does go a long way to prove that most search engines
don't give much credence to the URL these days.
Of course, it does help if your keywords are in the URL, but I've not
noticed much of a difference between:
somesite.com/page-about-subject

Which I suggested on your previous thread. Also, I see you have
$from set to equal localhost. Many SMTP servers will reject this
I *think*, because localhost is a hostname, not a working mailbox.
Try making $from equal to a real working address - possibly the same
one as your Errors-to: header..

I thought most email accounts requires authentication anyway. Well, therein lies the rub, as the Bard said (maybe). PHP's mail() was built on a general assumption that there would be a local SMTP server. It supports remote SMTP, but I'm not aware of any ability to do SMTP auth, even in the PEAR packages. You might just wanna read up on mail in general. The php.net/mail page lists several relevant RFC's, and has links to most of the PEAR mail classes, etc. You should definitely read up on live.com's email configuration. If they use SMTP auth, I'm not sure you can do this (per above). If it uses, say, POP before SMTP for authorization, you might be able to hack something together with the PHP IMAP functions, or even sockets, but you're getting into a big lotta work for what seems a small thing.

Nilesh probably misunderstood, or we are misunderstanding him. PHP has to have a binary file, whether it's the CLI interpreter or the Apache module. Run a script with phpinfo() in it.

My local apache is configured to use libphp5.so I moved /usr/bin/php to /root, then started apache and ran drupal. It worked. This confirms that libphp5.so is independent of the php binary in /usr/bin as I suggested earlier. No one was questioning that .. or at least, I wasn't. One is an executable binary file ... a program. The other is also a binary file, but it's a _library_. What I said was you need one or the other. A binary file, either the Apache SO or the binary interpreter... It's possible to configure Apache to use a PHP executable (CGI), and the CGI and CLI executables are similar, if not identical. I dunno if anyone actually does that anymore, though. :-) Ashley said The libphp5.so is the Apache module that links PHP into Apache. You need this and PHP installed if you want to use PHP in Apache. Devendra apparently misinterpreted this to mean that you need both the SO and the binary interpreter, but you don't. You DO need the rest of the PHP extensions, libraries, config files, etc. ... a PHP installation, whether or not your have the CLI binary is not that important, although I always do since I like to run system scripts in PHP via cron, etc. Kevin Kinsey -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] Zend (or other) Framework...where to start?
WRT Frameworks.. before I rant, I should declare myself as an ex-consultant to Zend. I have used most of the more popular frameworks, and in my current employment am using Zend Framework. All of the frameworks I have used, have had some good features, and some poorly implemented ones. This, I beleive comes from people trying to make the application all things to all people to fit all applications. This will never happen, at some time, you need to code for yourself, which is why many developers develop their own frameworks from the ground up, myself included. Symphony I did not like at all, but it has a nice modular api, which CodeIgnitor I spent nearly a year on a project and eventually came to be familiar with its nuances. The good documentation of CI and examples I found refreshing. Symphony, Cake, CI etc all have a single commong feature, they are not Zend. Not that the Zend Framework is a total peice of crap ... mostly, but seems to be the product of a tortured development process where comprimises have been made by a committee. Although not strictly part of the framework, Zend Form would have to be the biggest waste of time I have come across. Abstracted to the point of un-usability. Much simpler/easier to write a HTML form. A framework is not so much a tool to make your development faster, although this will be the case, it is a tool to make your development constant. This means you can easily, and rapidly deploy applications as you are familiar with the tool. The speed of development comes as you become more familiar with the environment you are developing in. Try any of the frameworks, or write you own, just avoid Zend. Kevin -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

As an ammendum to the prior response, you may want to look into using AJAX with a streaming connection to the server.

RE: [PHP] how does one bind a gui representation and a container object.
Reading your original request a little more carefully, it appears you're really looking for a way to immediately update the database when someone changes a value in an HTML form. Ajax is necessary. Make an ajax call triggered by a change in the table's data, which sends the change as GET or POST data. Write a PHP script to accept the data and update the database. If you want all users to see the change immediately, you'll also need to create a mechanism to send any changes back to the users. My prior email is relevant for that part. Good luck.

[PHP] ANN: BrowserHawk for PHP
Hi all, I wanted to share with you that we have (finally!) a version of BrowserHawk that works great with PHP. There is nothing to install to use it either. Its called BrowserHawk To-Go (BHTG) an integrates instantly with any PHP page(s) just by including a single line of code in the page. See www.cyscape.com/products/bhtg . For a while now many PHP developers have been asking us to add PHP support to BrowserHawk. We initially tried to provide this by leveraging our existing Java code base and making an interface to it through a PHP to Java bridge. However this was too complicated for many to get working and performance was far from ideal. BHTG, on the other hand, provides an instant drop in solution for PHP developers that works extremely fast and is seamless. Here is a summary of what BrowserHawk does for unfamiliar with it: - detects 100+ browser/system properties including connection speed and latency, installed plug-ins, browser type/version/platform, mobile devices, Java settings, blocked popups and more. Essentially a robust and comprehensive browser sniffer with big advantages over user agent sniffing and how grown sniffers. - adds an instant browser troubleshooting page to any site, without any programming required. You specify what your rules are (such as what browsers and settings are required) and it presents the user with a checklist and shows them where they are good and what needs to be fixed - an provides self-help for the user to correct their incompatible settings or missing plug-ins. It will also email you a report that contains the results of their browser test and a description of the issue so you can troubleshoot easily. Give it a try on this page: www.cyscape.com/products/bhtg/bhtg_ret.aspx . - monitors the actual page load times as experienced by each user on the site. This is not a ping test or synthetic monitoring, but rather the *actual* load times, including latency, that each user experienced on each page on your site. - tracks and reports back to you on any JavaScript errors users encounter while on your site. There are errors which occur in the wild which developers often do not know about because with their test cases the errors do not occur. Also new is the pricing model. With BHTG there are no upfront licensing fees. Instead you pay a small monthly fee (staring at $0.35 - $3.50) based on your usage. You pay for only what you use, and there are no minimums. There is also a free version of BHTG you can use from development and testing boxes. To try out the free account go to www.cyscape.com/products/bhtg/signup.aspx. For more information see www.cyscape.com/products/bhtg . We're very much looking forward to the feedback from the PHP community on how you like BHTG so please give it a try and let us know!

[PHP] Regex for Advanced search feature
I'm trying to create an advanced search feature for my site, and I have it mostly working the way I want.

So, if the search phrase was this: Dog Cat Horse It would output: Array ( [0] = Dog Cat [1] = Horse ) My concept to solve this is right before I explode the keys as above, to replace any spaces within marks with a garbage string of characters (say XX) using a regular expression, and then later replace it back with a space.

And if there is a way that is better than one of these, I'd love to know what that is. $query = SELECT count(id) as count FROM wncci_intranet.iAdmin_users WHERE name = '$name' LIMIT 1; $results = mysql_query($query); $row = mysql_fetch_array($results); $count = $row[count]; return $count; OR $query = SELECT id FROM wncci_intranet.iAdmin_users WHERE name = '$name' LIMIT 1; $results = mysql_query($query); $count = mysql_num_rows($results); return $count; Thanks. -- Kevin Murphy Webmaster: Information and Marketing Services Western Nevada College www.wnc.edu 775-445-3326 P.S.

Re: [PHP] count vs mysql_num_rows
Is this a joke? You are using a LIMIT 1, so your count is always going to be 1. No, its not a joke. The answer is not going to always 1, its going to be 1 (the value exists in the DB at least once) or 0 (the value doesn't exist in the DB), that's what I am trying to test for. I don't need to know how many times something exists, just if it does. -- Kevin Murphy Webmaster: Information and Marketing Services Western Nevada College www.wnc.edu 775-445-3326
Re: [PHP] Re: strpos error (I'm missing something obvious)
Thanks for the info. I've modified the script to reflect that. I
actually ended up reversing it, and so I used !== 0 which should work
just the same.
All this is a minor portion of a much larger security scheme for an
intranet site (which is protected by an LDAP server), where I am just
trying to keep images outside the web directory, and want to prevent
people from linking directly to an image... the only way an image
displays is if they view the page, and not link directly to the
image. Not foolproof, I know, but I'm not dealing with the general
population here, just internal employees some of whom are more
computer savvy than others.
Thanks all for your help. It seems to be working now.

(or, if you like the preg solution)
if (preg_match(%^$site%, $referer))

}
However, I'd argue that the effectiveness of checking the referrer
itself could be considered negligible, and hardly foolproof. The
header is easily spoofed in scripts, and may not even be sent at all
by legitimate clients because of various browser and/or personal
firewall options.

[PHP] Secure Image Storage
Hello all, Following up with my success last week with putting downloadable files in a directory above the web root and then using a combination of fopen and stuff to download the file, I am now trying to do something similar with images. However, what I am trying to do is to put an image file above the web root, then use PHP to display that image in the web page, and not download it. I have the feeling that this isn't possible (all solutions I've seen involve using header() function, which won't work since this is midway down the page), but I wanted to make sure. This will return the binary source of the file: print file_get_contents($file_path); but doesn't display the image. Is there any way to have this (or something else) generate the image? -- Kevin Murphy Webmaster: Information and Marketing Services Western Nevada College www.wnc.edu 775-445-3326 P.S.

[PHP] strpos error (I'm missing something obvious)
Overly simplified version of my code.
$site = http://www.wnc.edu;;
$referer = $_SERVER[HTTP_REFERER];
echo $referer; // the output is correct at: http://www.wnc.edu/test/
if (strpos($referer,$site) === TRUE)
{
echo yes;
}
Why doesn't it echo out yes? I know I am doing something stupid
here, but it doesn't seem to work :-)

Re: [PHP] strpos error (I'm missing something obvious)
I fixed this by changing === TRUE to !== FALSE, so I think I am good
to go now. But would still like to know why TRUE doesn't work. Thanks.
