Re: [PHP] A PHP-driven script to determine if the environment is configured correctly (checklist)
Здравствуйте, AmirBehzad. Вы писали 17 декабря 2009 г., 17:46:59: Dear list, e-Greetings, I've developed some PHP-driven web applications. These applications will be installed on different linux-based servers (typically Debian and Redhat). Usually, after I copy the files to the server, they DO NOT WORK, so I spend hours to debug the problem. Problems are very funny, for example, the program is giving strange errors, and it is not working because short_open_tags are off ! I decided to write a PHP script to check if server's configuration meets my requirements. - checking whether some php extensions are loaded, eg. MCrypt. - checking wheather short_open_tags is ON - checking whether mod_rewrite is enabled - etc. Here's my question: - How do you check if .htaccess is working, *** via php code *** ? It's easy to check if .htaccess exists (@php: file_exists), but how to make sure if .htaccess is working?! - How do you check if AllowOverride is set to All in apache's configuration? Please let me know what do you think. Thank you in advance. -behzad Make sure that you did your scripts executable(chmod +x) You can check .htaccess that way: create .htaccess if folder with script, override some directive thru it, like php's max execution time. thencreatephpscript,getphp value that you've changed(max_execution_time), compare to the value you gave in .htaccess, if values are the same, .htaccess is working! -- Sam -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [Fwd: [PHP] Sessions in databases]
If you are distributing your application over multiple servers, using a database for session tracking allows a user to continue there session regardless of which server their request bounces too. It prevents the need for 'sticky' network connections which time out anyways. Databases can make scaling applications to enterprise size considerably easier. There are other file based solutions that are dirty and require you to play with file locking and all that nastyness.

Re: [PHP] What type of barcode used for document management system ?
As a matter of fact... For a while I was using a barcode generator to test out inventory system before getting them professionally made. I personally chose to go with Interleaved 2 of 5 as our barcode scanner was able to read them accurately and it was the same format as our campus ID cards. The trick with this is that it only supports numbers. Code128 has three different encoding tables, table B which is most commonly used, includes the characters 0-9, A-Z, a-z and a handful of symbols which I don't remember of the top of my head. I used a class someone else made which can be found here: http://www.phpclasses.org/browse/package/2176.html The code itself is quite ugly but as it was only needed temporarily it worked.

Re: [PHP] EXEC and SYSTEM delay
Well if the server your running on is linux based (and I haven't tried
this) you could try adding a nohup and background the task for example
rather than doing:
system('updatedb');
try
system('nohup updatedb ');
It should background the task and let it continue running even when the
php script finishes it's execution. Like I said I haven't tested it. As
a side note I used 'updatedb' in the example because it was the longest
running task I could think of off the top of my head and requires root
priveledges... You really shouldn't run your scripts as root. *A public

For those who don't want to read the article it's about the cost of time spent programming vs hardware. Even if a framework will run slower than raw HTML or a simple PHP page on it's own, if that framework saves you a significant amount of time developing, and the server your running the application on isn't as responsive as you like, maybe it would be cheaper just to add another server and load balance the two.

Re: [PHP] Copy Function Errors
It sounds to me like your problem is now about the authentication. By
default most linux distributions do not give apache a password. I
personally think using apache would be a bad idea. How about creating a
user on the linux box your trying to put the files on to make it's
primary group apache (make sure the group can write to the folder you
are putting the files in) and give it a password that is a random string
of 20 characters (http://www.goodpassword.com) that only your script knows.
Try testing to make sure you can ftp to the server using a normal ftp
client (ftp for the linux command line or http://filezilla-project.org/
is a good one if your using windows) using the account you created. Make
sure you can put files in the directory you will be with the script.
If this all works and your script using the new account is not, I'm sure
we can help you debug it further :). Good luck!

Alice,
Here are some Wikipedia articles that should give you a good start on
understanding the fundamental differences between the two protocols you
are confusing with each other:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FTP
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP
HTTP itself does not intrinsically handle file uploads in a
server/client relationship. Web forms that include file uploads
generally have a handler function on the other end, and post files via a
form
Re: [PHP] Copy Function Errors
You need to test using regular FTP, SFTP goes over SSH, while the PHP
script your trying to use is making use of regular old FTP. Make sure
that the linux machine has the ports open for FTP and that you have an
FTP server running on it (SSH is not one).

You are right, there is something terribly wrong with my authentication. I
have added one user called test and gave it a fixed password. Since the
information where I intend to extract from is a Linux machine, and the
location where it is meant to copy to is the Windows server. I tested it
using the SSH Shell from the Windows machine to make sure it is working. It
does.
I have modified the script where it does the authentication to the following:
// set up basic connection
$ftp_server=192.168.10.63;
$conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server) or die (Failed to Connect);
// login with username and password
$ftp_user_name=somename;
$ftp_user_pass=somepass;
$login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_user_name, $ftp_user_pass) or die
(Failed to Login);
// try to download $server_file and save to $local_file
if (ftp_get($conn_id, $local_file, $server_file, FTP_BINARY)) {
echo Successfully written to $local_file\n;
} else {
echo There was a problem\n;
}
When I executed the script, it now prompts me back Failed to Connect as in
the first die statement. I am confused because when I use the SSH with
Filezilla or other SFTP clients, I used the same user and passwords here and
have received no errors.
I don't know if I should put the user_name and user_pass from this file to
the httpd.conf, though. Currently, this is not set.
Thanks in advance.

Wow this is hard I can't wait till I get the hang of it.
Capitalize the first letter of a word.
echo preg_replace('/(^)(.)(.*$)/', strtoupper('\\2') . '\\3',
'yikes!');
// outputs yikes!
Nope didn't work.
So I want to see if I'm in the right place:

'-' . '\\3', 'yikes!');

After I've looped through a resource do I have to run the query again

$s = mysql_query($q, $pe) or die(mysql_error());

Re: [PHP] how to learn php
I started out by getting a reference manual, one with every function describing what the function does. Just like the php.net online function reference but one that can be read lying on the couch. Now when I need some code to do something I'll remember there's a function for it (maybe) and I go to php.net and search for it. I search for PHP examples online for more advanced stuff than I can do and study it. This gives me some knowledge of proper approach to coding; when to use what. Finally if the code looks funky I send a snip to this list and someone will suggest a better function or approach. Oh yea, this is great, I use Dreamweaver's (grimace) PHP coding abilities to get projects started. Dreamweaver can do the preliminary basic database connection stuff: INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE pages. Then I hack the Dreamweaver code. Doing a MySQL tutorial is a good idea too. hello i have been trying to learn php. what is the best approach to learning php for someone who has no programming experience? i am very familiar with html, xhtml, and css. i'm not an idiot when it comes to using computers. i have bought several books and have subscribed to a couple of the php mailing lists, but i feel that i could be doing more to learn php. what approach (and steps) did you take in learning this really cool scripting language? should i look into taking classes or stick with an autodidact approach? any advice and/or opinions would be greatly appreciated. thanks. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] str_replace ? \r
From a textarea on a web form I'm attempting to convert all returns(\r),
from the users input, to br /, for db INSERT, and then back again for
display in the textarea. (They remain as br /s for normal HTML web page
display.)
code:
// From textarea to db UPDATE
function addBR($tv) {
$tv = addslashes($tv);
$tv = str_replace(\r,br /,$tv);
// $tv = preg_replace(/(\r\n|\n|\r)/, br /, $tv);
// $tv = preg_replace(/(\r\n|\n|\r)/, , $tv);
return $tv;}
// For display in textarea
function remBR($tv) {
$tv = str_replace(br /,\r,$tv);
$tv = stripslashes($tv);
return $tv;
}
IT ALL works fine accept if a return is entered in the form's textarea at
the very beginning:
mysql SELECT jbs_jobDesA FROM jobs WHERE jbs_ID=77 \G
*** 1. row ***
jbs_jobDesA: br /[the return is still here]
Lesequam coreet la feum nulla feu facil iriure faccummolut ulput num augait
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
the return is converted to br /\r (leaving the return). AND then when
converted back for for the textarea both are stripped out, that is, there
is nothing in front of the first character. When resubmitted for UPDATE:
mysql SELECT jbs_jobDesA FROM jobs WHERE jbs_ID=77 \G
*** 1. row ***
jbs_jobDesA: Lesequam coreet la feum nulla feu facil iriure faccummolut
ulput num augait
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
Q. Why is that first return treated differently? All other returns are
treated as expected.
Thanks,

[PHP] PDF FDF $_POST
I need PHP fill out the form fields and prepare for download a PDF from an HTML form submission. One way would be to use a PDF with pre-configured form fields where an FDF is created from PHP.

I have the scripts from koivi.com producing the FDF correctly but I don't know what to do with it next. The target PDF would need to be downloaded first because when you open the FDF is says, hey where's the target. fdf_open looked promising but the fdftk is not compiled in on the server.

[PHP] phpMyAdmin authentication error
On OS X 10.3 I installed the latest MySQL from dev.mysql.com for OS X 10.3. It was a Apple style installer package with a binary of the server and the client. The docs weren't exactly written for OS X but I survived the set up and am able to login as the root MySQL user with the command line MySQL client. From version tracker I got phpMyAdmin-2.6.2-pl1.tar.bz2 which is just a .tar of a bunch of files you drop into the web server path. But phpMyAdmin gives the error, Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client. I don't see a way to change the auth protocol in the phpMyAdmin conf file: config.inc.php. If I create a MySQL user with no password phpMyAdmin works.

When the page is loaded http://thePage the authentication works fine. When

Re: [PHP] Square brackets tags
I was just reading a little on this. This is the way you build a template
system. Smarty uses { }. Maybe you could check out the Smarty page and get
an idea. http://smarty.php.net/
Or maybe you could just use Smarty, you can change the { } to anything you
want.
Hi All,
I need to write a PHP extension or a PHP template system (this is the
question) to parse some commands enclosed in square brackets inside web
pages. Please note that the commands are in the form [command1] and not
?php [command1] ?.
I want use PHP because these commands needs to be remapped with a web
oriented language.
Is it technically possible to remap these square brackets tags to php?
And if yes, what is the best way? A custom template system or a C PHP
extension?
Get Smarty.
If you get into Smarty could you let us know how 'steep' it was?

Re: [PHP] textarea vs. type=text data difference?
htmlentities!
Thanks a lot for taking the time but it was just my nubie error.
What had me going all off in the wrong direction was textarea fields don't
need htmlentities to display quotes correctly like a text field does.
you know like this: value=some text with important info
Displays in textarea fine but in type=text of course you get
some text
What a female dog.
Okay, so in other words...
//Doc1.php
include functions.php //this file contains the function definition for
protectText()
include formProcessor.php //this file contains the code that calls
protectText()
include form.php //this file gets the form data from user
By any chance, are ANY of the include files classes? I'm not 100%
sure(unless you put up some more code), but it sounds like it's maybe a
scope error... especially if you define the function in formProcessor and it
works fine...

Re: [PHP] mysql_connect does not connect
Jason Wong [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] The firewall is relevant depending on your circumstances. In any case it would take you all of one minute to disable your firewall to test out this wild far out suggestion. At the most you would have lost one minute but you would have either: - gained the satisfaction of saying I told you the firewall was irrelevant, now go away and stop wasting my time with your ridiculous suggestions or - you would have found the cause of your problem It definitely takes more than a minute. It takes nearly a minute just to logoff one user and I often have another user, the Administrator account, also logged in. If the Administrator account is not lgged in already, then I must log in to it to shutdown ZoneAlarm. Then the system must shutdown and restart. While that is happening, I must unplug the cable modem to ensure I get nothing from/to the outside, but that can be done in parrallel with system shutdown. However I must stay at the system while this is happening; I prefer to unplug the cable after the system disconnects from the modem. Then I must log in to at least one account and start a few things, such as Apache. Relatively speaking, Apache starts immediatley, so it is not very relevant, but it does take time for my system to start. Then after the test I must restart ZoneAlarm, restart the system and be sure to plug the modem back in while the system starts. The whole operation is likely to take nearly a half hour at least. Contrast that with the number of posts you have made denying that the firewall could be a problem, and stating adamantly that you will not do such-and-such a thing because it is 'not supposed' to happen like that. The problem is all the people that persist in saying the same thing. I am smart enough to think of the things being suggested. It is the type of thing that is very easy to suggest. I get frustrated by people suggesting things just because they are easy to suggest. Therefore when people make a suggestion that is more likely to be relevant it is difficult for me to determine which ones are worthwhile. And again, I am able to think of things such as eliminating the firewall as a possibility. It is okay for people to suggest that, but unless they can show me something that clearly says it is relevant, then they won't accomplish anything by insisting. One problem is that I get answers that are not accurate, so it is difficult to know which ones are accurate. The most important thing is that unless people give me a clear explanation of what they are saying, it is useless to insist. I don't mind a suggestion as much as it is the insisting that causes problems. Therefore from my point of view, it is the insistance by others that keep the discussion going (in useless directions). There is one person in particular that tries too hard to help and then when I politely say I am getting too much help I get criticized.

Re: [PHP] mysql_connect does not connect
Markus Mayer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] It is our experience at my employer that the firewall in XP-SP2, as well as other firewalls that are available, are very relevant. Thank you. I have not seen anything that states that explicitly. I doubt that SP2 makes a difference; the main reason I mentioned it is just to be thorough. I am nearly certain that the XP firewall, including the XP-SP2 version, is turned off. We also have not seen any documentation about problems with such things after installing SP2, but we have problems. Things that worked before don't work any more, especially client side things. Our three small Windoze servers have given our Windoze administrator more than enough work recently. Supposedly there is something that is about 30 pages that lists hundreds of incompatibility problems. Therefore it is likely that most of the don't work any more problems are identified by Microsoft. flame blocked by firewall. Then ignore it. Just calling it a flame is likely to add fuel. I prefer to limit the discussion to facts, which is not happening in this discussion. The word flame is usually an unnecessary emotional expression SP2 is so new that its effects are still being evaluated by a lot of people. At the moment, I think the best place to get information about its effects is forums like this one. Formal documentation will be updated in time as more experience is gained. The info I got from our Windows admin is that with SP2, the MS SQL server on one machine was apparenty unaffected, but the MySQL on another was. Dropping the MS Firewall in SP2 allowed connections again. Client side, SP2 has caused nothing but problems for us to the point where we as administrators are now saying to our users it was working before you installed SP2, and after you installed SP2 it stopped working, so it's your problem. IE is especially problematic, and when someone calls up and says they have a problem with IE and have installed SP2, our response is that we no longer support IE and tell the users to install Mozilla, and if they still have problems when they try Mozilla, they can call us back. We haven't heard from any of them again, and our help desk girls have always been able to quickly sort out the problems users have when they first try Mozilla. Again, I doubt that SP2 is actually relevant, especially if I am correct that I am not using the firewall. If I am correct that it is not relevant, then dwelling on it is the type of thing causes confuson about what is usefull I am not aware of any problem caused by SP2 except that it makes a little more work for me due to it's increased security and ti complains about a few things that I see no reason for it to complain about. I hope that if it is causing a problem I will be able to determine that but so far I have no reason to believe SP2 is relevant here. I looked back in this thread and saw that you used Zone Alarm as a firewall. You need to allow MySQL connections to localhost, and that regardless of which firewall you use. If you filter such connections out, PHP scripts will not be able to connect to your MySQL server. This is because PHP makes a TCP connection to the MySQL server, also when it is running on the same machine as you PHP/Apache (at least this is my understanding). You can of course continue refuse all external (that is not from localhost) connections to whatever service is running on your machine. I think something to this effect has already been said in this thread, but at the moment I don't want to search for the post. Again, it is okay to say this once but it is not useful to keep insisting. I am smart enough to be aware of the possibility and if and when other possibilities have been exahausted I would have tried the possibility of disabling the firewall or whatever. Insisting upon it from others is not productive; it is more likley to polarize me in the opposite direction and get us to where we are now. It is the emotional commentary that is most unproductive. I try to explain (unemotionally and in a reasonable manner) that I don't need the additional assertion that I must try something and the response to that becomes emotional. While the flame war in this thread has been amusing to read, it's amusement value for me has more or less run out. My impression is that you still don't have the thing working, and the only solution left is to configure your firewall to allow connections to your MySQL server from localhost. If you would do this, and it works, please post to the list to reflect this. My experience as an administrator tells me with a 99% certainty that this is your problem. Again, it is unproductive to repeat the same thing over and over. When someone repeats it, I have a tendency to respond to that. We have now gotten to the point where the discussion is unproductive.

You can (should) sort by email address of course. Then there is a function for getting the count of a field. The result will be records with the email address occuring only once. The following I think is a simplified version of something I have done: SELECT ITEMNO, COMP1, COMP2, Count(COMP2) AS CountOfCOMP2 FROM CostsMerge GROUP BY ITEMNO, COMP1, COMP2; However I have another duplicates removal query that uses Last but not Count, as in: SELECT Item, Comp1, Comp2, Last(Comp1Q), Last(Comp2Q) INTO MergedData FROM Merge GROUP BY ITEMNO, COMP 1, COMP 2; In both of the above, there are three keys: Item, Comp1 and Comp2; whereas you have just one key, the email address.

John Nichel [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] I don't know anything about WindowsXP or it's 'firewall', but you _may_ have to open the port for which you have MySQL running on. I haven't followed this thread, but if MySQL, and your php enabled webserver are on the same box, then your firewall doesn't come into play. Yes, this is all one system, so I sure thought that a firewall is not relevant. Thank you for saying so. I don't (should not) have the Windows XP firewall turned on; I use ZoneAlarm. This is extraneous relevance, but there is a possibility that the Windows XP firewall got turned on due to Windows XP SP2 (the latest big batch of fixes and upgrades for XP). I doubt it, though; I have checked and such. However to the extent that a firewall is not relevant, this is tnot relevant. Something that might be relevant is the possibility of some other new security feature installed by the XP SP2. If so, then many others will be encountering it in the future; SP2 was released to the public sometime in the last couple of months, probably less than a month ago. Even so, I am surprised that I am the first to say anything if that is the problem. Probably if that was a problem, other systems that were working would have been broken by SP2 and people would know that SP2 is the cause. Using that logic, it is unlikely that SP2 is the problem. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] mysql_connect does not connect
Note that there is a difference between the php_mysqli and the php_mysql extensions. I have both php_mysqli.dll and php_mysql.dll in my PHP501\ext directory, but I don't have the extension=php_mysqli.dll line in my php.ini file. Is that something that should be in the php.ini (with a ; to comment it out) file for php 5.0.1? I will try adding the extension=php_mysqli.dll line in my php.ini file later when I have time. I did not try earlier since the commented version is not in the php.ini file, either commented or uncommented. Chris Dowell [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sam Your problem probably does stem from the extension not being installed. You say you're using (IIRC) mySQL 4.1 This requires you to use the mysqli extension, not the mysql extension As you're on windows, it's probably just a case of uncommenting the extension=php_mysqli.dll line in your php.ini, but I'm not sure as I don't have much experience configuring PHP for windows. Anyway - as far as I can tell from what you've said, that's likely to be your problem - your timeout is occurring because the mysql extension cannot connect, not because of any firewall issues. From the manual entry on MySQL (http://www.php.net/mysql): This MySQL extension doesn't support full functionality of MySQL versions greater than 4.1.0. For that, use MySQLi. If you then look at the entry for MySQLi (http://www.php.net/mysqli), you'll see this: The mysqli extension allows you to access the functionality provided by MySQL 4.1 and above. Then this page (http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.extensions.php) about installing extension on windows should get you the rest of the way.

Jason You understanding of how this works is a bit off Jason. If you make a call to one of my web sites from your machine via a browser, the _only_ port I need to have open to the outside is 80 (or whatever port I have my web server running on), even if I make 1000 calls to a local db, but this has nothing to do with how the web server talks to MySQL. What is meant by local here, is that the MySQL db and web server are on the same machine. A firewall comes into play when your web browser requests a page from my web server, but does not come into play when that page has to connect to a local db before sending content to you. Your remote machine never talks to my local MySQL db. Thank you. As I said previously, I did think that the firewall would not be relevant. I don't know a lot about the TCP/IP stuff but I do know enough to write a couple of simple programs. They are actually UDP programs. An example is my UDP Send and Receive Using CAsyncSocket at: http://simplesamples.info/MFC/UDPSendReceive.php Using it, I can send and receive UDP packets within my system using 127.0.0.1 without any problem from my firewall. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] get_class_vars
Using the code shown below, I get nothing from get_class_vars but I do get
very useful results from get_class_methods. I realize that this is how it is
supposed to be, but it would be useful to be able to get the property
members of the class. The reason I want to see the properties of DOMDocument
is because they are not documented. There are some methods of the
DOMDocument class that exist in other implemntations of the DOM but not the
PHP 5 implemntation. Probably the equivalent is available using properties
to get data instead of methods. Due to the absence of documentation of the
properties, it would help to have a function that shows the properties. I
will look for the source code and I assume I can find the answer there, so I
assume I don't need help with that. Unless there is some other function that
will show the properties of a class in the manner I am looking for.
pre?php
function ShowClass($class_name) {
print Class $class_name properties:\n;
$class_vars = get_class_vars($class_name);
sort($class_vars);
foreach ($class_vars as $name = $value)
echo $name : $value\n;
print \nClass $class_name methods:\n;
$class_methods = get_class_methods($class_name);

Jack Gates [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Javascript can open a separate and specifically sized window from a web page when a user clicks on a link that might reference a note or picture etc. Can this be done with PHP? If yes, will someone tell me where in the manual on the php.net site I can find the information to learn how to do this? I have been looking through the manual on the site but without knowing the name or names of what I am looking for it is real hard to find it. I am new to PHP also but there is some fundamental understanding of PHP that is likely to make things much more clear. PHP is a server-side facility. PHP executes before the HTML is (considered to be) complete. Then the HTML is sent to the client. By the time that the user clicks on the page, PHP is totally gone (for the purposes of the page). This concept is quite easy to explain and to understand, yet you are likely to spend many, many hours of reading before you read enough to understand this. In other words, I am sure you can understand it, but this is the type of concept that documentation seldom makes clear. You can, instead, put resize code (using PHP or nearly any language) in the page that shows the image.

Probably it is your assumtion that it is crap that caused you to avoid adequate diagnosis of the problem. You sure did not provide an adequate description of the problem, which is a very likely cause of not getting a response (from Microsoft). In particular, XP SP2 does have popup blocking capability that works by showing a small window at the top of a page. This is similar to what you described, but if what you were encountering was the XP SP2 popup blocker, then you sure did not understand the problem. If you do not describe a problem well, then it is impossible to get useful help. If your pages use popups then XP SP2 will block them at the client end unless the client's owner chooses to see them.

As far as I knew, there is a danger of all of PHP being in a PECL. I could not (and cannot) find an explanation of a PECL when I start by going to the main php.net page and looking for one.

Now when I search, I do see in the results the PHP.net: A Tourist's Guide page. That appears to be a very useful page. And now that I know to look for it, I do see a link to that page from the main PHP page. So people should be able to find an explnation of what a PECL is, but I just want to say that it might help to make it easier for new people to find the PHP.net: A Tourist's Guide page.
