Re: [PHP] redirect a shell command to stdout in real time

[shiplu]

You can use pipe to run the command and capture the stdout.
Then dump it with proper header to browser.

Note, If the external command (specially video encoding) takes long time
you should probably use cron for this and maintain a queue. I recommend you
apply some sorts of caching also.

[PHP] redirect a shell command to stdout in real time

[zonyi besk]

Hi All,

I want to redirect the stdout of an executing shell command to stdout of
php called by browser
The command some stream like command like
ffmpeg -i rtmp://192. -
rtmpdump -v  -r rtmp://192  -a app -y stream -o -
so its live video, and the execution not stops,  till the user navigate out
with browser.

What I want loading this php from web based,  to print the live video
content to the stdout of php,
So the call result of  php is video and starts almost with
header("Content-Type: video/x-flv");

Hope there's solution in php
Thanks
Zocs

RE: [PHP] PHP redirect

[Dajka Tamas]

If $data['feed_link'] is extracted from $_POST, then it's already
urldecoded.

BTW, what's the problem? It's not redirecting you, or just redirecting you
to az unavailable/wrong page? ( most browsers change the  & in titlebar
to '&', so you don't have to worry about that )

Hello Steve,

Btw, the built-in mail() function is to slow to send such amount

if you're using a linux based server, you could log (like Richard said)
each success / failure to the file, or each to its own success / failure
file, and then if you want to watch the, you could just do a tail -f of
the file, to see what is it doing (sometimes having it scroll is pretty
handy i find)... 

it wouldn't be hard to write a web-based 'tail -f' page, so you can
track the progress from anywhere you wanted :)

I would log the success/failure with the data (assuming it is coming from a DB).

If not, you could use a simple file_put_contents($filename, date('r')
. $text . PHP_EOL, FILE_APPEND);

That would append 1 line of text at a time to the file. Using tail on
that file would show you the last work done (and when it was done).

Hi Steve,

Thanks for the tips. To answer your queries, I don't mind using CLI. How do
I then ensure the messages, error or otherwise, output by the library I use,
show up in the file I'm outputting to? Please note that I only make calls to
the functions and object methods from this library and error or success
messages are probably echo'd by the code from the library.

I believe some context is in order. I am actually sending an email to a
large number of our customers (around 10,000), each with the customer's
name.

My script does output a simple success or failure message. The library
outputs more technical info. All I would like to know is which email got
sent and which one failed. As you point out, I could write the success /
failure messages to a file, but, I would also like to capture the messages
output by the library.

Thanks and regards,
Ferdi

Just curious, but if it takes that long to run, why are you running it
from a browser?  why not run it from the commandline, that way you dont
have to change your php.ini for the webserver (increasing the timeout,
memory limits, etc etc... you can change those for the CLI only?

2 hours is a long time to "hope" that the browser doesn't close, or
connectivity doesn't get interupted for even 1 microsecond...

if the script has "breaks" in it, where it starts to do something else,
you can put in an email to yourself, to say "hey, we're HERE now"

but i would look into running it from the CLI over the webserver, you
would be less likely to run into issues on something that takes that
amount of time to run.   

If you needed the output to be displayed on a webpage, you can write the
progress to a file, and then have a php webpage that reads the file, and
using ajax or whatever, refresh the content.

good luck in your script, and if you still run it from the browser, and
need to output to a file, then i would continually be writing content to
that file, every time you do soemthing, or start another part of the
script so you know EXACTLY where you are, at all times...

[PHP] Redirect output to a file on the web server

[Ferdi]

Greetings List members,

I have a script that takes quite a while to run, one or two hours, I wish to
redirect the normal php output to a file on the webserver itself. I don't
mind if in the process, the browser displays a blank page. The reason I want
to do this is that if the script crashes or the browser Is closed by
mistake, I have absolutely no record of where the script stopped running.

I could use code like below
At the beginning of the script:
ob_start();

At the end of the script:
$page = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_flush();
$fp = fopen("output.html","w");
fwrite($fp,$page);
fclose($fp);

However, I see some problems with this:
I'm not too sure of the size of the output. It may balloon to over the
buffering limit (in PHP? Apache?) and then what happens?
Secondly, if the script crashes before the end, I won't get any output.
Finally, I am using a library in the script that outputs status and error
messages of its own. So, if I manually opened a file and used fwrite()
alongside echo for my messages, I would lose out on those messages.

Anybody has any pointers on how you could send the output not only to a
browser, but also to a file on the webserver? If not, at least to a file?

Thanks and regards,
Ferdi

If /public is your web root, then alter your virtual hosts file to
reflect this, so that it is the one that is used as the web root.

If /public is not your web root, then you could consider using
mod_rewrite() to internally redirect the content the visitors see,
without them actually knowing about it.

That's an HTTP server configuration.  For example, with Apache,
you should look at the DocumentRoot setting.

[PHP] Redirect to

[Ahmed Mohsen]

Hi folks,
I know that this is not a php question, but I'm sure it some kind 
related to it.  I need to put my public files under "public" folder, and 
other includes files and database config in other folder not shown to 
the public, but i don't know how to do that. I hope if some one show me 
how to achieve this.


For example, this is the directory structure:

/root
--/includes
db.php
config.php

--/public
/index.php
/images
/admin
--/login.php



I don't want to enter (example.com/public) to view index.php file.  I 
just want to enter (example.com) and it redirects to the public folder 
and shows only (example.com/index.php) in the URL.  And for login.php 
should display (example.com/admin/login.php) not 
(example.com/public/admin/login.php)


Kind regards,
Ahmed.

If I ever have a redirect like this, I *always* put after it:

exit();

which ensures it will not do anything else.

Yes, but id display_errors = Off then you need to do:
ini_set('display_errors', '1');

The error that a tech said he sees on server version is:

THANK YOU JAY,

BTW: I'm a newbie

They seem to be fine - and have proper content

I added this:

error_reporting(E_ALL);

If I put this on a page isn't it supposed to override other server setting
and display errors? It's not - This the page is blank - except for the echo
test

Alternatively add a link 'If you are new/Introduction/etc' that the new user 
can click to
get more information if they want it.

I agree, and you can still try the cookie method to not show the
message, but it's not a big deal if they don't get the cookie/it expires
etc., because the worst thing that can happen is that they see the message.

Why redirect? That sucks as a user experience. Why not simply put an
alert somewhere prominent on the page with the message you want to
convey? That way you can have it on every page and not interrupt the
users use of your site.

Yes and from php.net,

"Cookies will not become visible until the next loading of a page that the 
cookie should be visible for."

So there's no PHP solution for my problem?  I think I need to use unreliable 
JavaScript.

Well, there is that ... and if the browser does not accept your

It's not completely fail proof because all they have to do is clear

Force the download thru a new window or a frame inside the main  
window.

Then you can redirect the main window to where you need it


Frames = Bad! (and that's not an assignment ;)

As Richard provided the link (http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/WD-html5-diff-20080610/ 
) in a different thread, this comes straight from the article about  
HTML 5:


"The following elements are not in HTML 5 because their usage affected  
usability and accessibility for the end user in a negative way:


* frame
* frameset
* noframes"

I know we're not in HTML5 yet, but might as well prepare. Sorry to go  
a bit off topic, but I had to throw that out. =D

1.  Collect Information from client & submit data
2.  Process data and generate PDF, write PDF, display error/success message
3.  If successful, have a javascript or  redirect to then download
PDF generated in step 2.

I would do it this way so in case their were any problems generating the PDF, 
you would have a way to indicate that to the client.  Rather then trying to 
force them to download a broken PDF document.


One suggestion to go along with this is that you will need to have a routine 
that will clean out all the generated PDF's every now and again.

Hi,

What you are doing is:

header("Content-Type: application/pdf");


And after that you try to echo some script. But the browser already 
thinks that belongs to the PDF and not to a HTML page.


What I think should work instead of the script part is just:

header('Location: 3.html');
exit;

But I'm not sure it works.

Re: [PHP] redirect stdout to stderr

[Bojan Tesanovic]

Hi Jack,
here is a link that can be of help
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=22839

also you can use custom error handler function , catch errors and  
write to stderr



function myErrorHandler($errno, $errstr, $errfile, $errline)
{
$ERROR='';
switch ($errno) {
case E_USER_ERROR:
$ERROR = "My ERROR [$errno] $errstr\n";
$ERROR.= "  Fatal error on line $errline in file $errfile";
$ERROR.= ", PHP " . PHP_VERSION . " (" . PHP_OS . ")\n";
$ERROR.= "Aborting...\n";

break;

case E_USER_WARNING:
$ERROR= "My WARNING [$errno] $errstr\n";
break;

case E_USER_NOTICE:
$ERROR= "My NOTICE [$errno] $errstr\n";
break;

default:
$ERROR  = echo "Unknown error type: [$errno] $errstr\n";
break;

}


if($ERROR){
$stderr = fopen('php://stderr', 'w');
fwrite($stderr, $ERROR );
fclose($stderr);
}

/* Don't execute PHP internal error handler */
return true;
}


set_error_handler("myErrorHandler");


//code .
==

I guess you can achieve what you need by one of those 2 concepts
Cheers.

Re: [PHP] Redirect via GET is loosing characters

[Neo [GC]]

Ah, i thought to remember that the limit is lower on IIS than on Apache, 
maybe i've just some memory faults. ;)


GET is meant to define what to GET, not to define content. This sounds a 
bit academic, but remember that the GET-args are a part of the URI and 
so will also go into the http-log for example. One don't want to have 
2kb per log-line. ;)
Additionally, please think of the great talent of users to fuck things 
up: GET-args will become bookmarks, links etc. and WILL do funny things 
when overused (session-ids...). ;)

This is a normal behaviour. Webservers trim the GET-request at a
certain
length.

You have several options:
- don't do a redirect but return the form, with most clean frameworks it
should be no problem to include the action wich generates the form
- save the variables in a session, then send the redirect-header and
clean the session after regenerating the form
- save the variables in a cookie stored at the client and clean the
cookie afterwards (ugly)

Re: [PHP] Redirect via GET is loosing characters

   If it's on the same domain/user account, that's probably a better
idea but with $data['rurl'] being used, I'm (ignorantly) assuming that
RURL = Remote URL.

Not really, no, not with the re-direct...

But why do you feel the need to do a re-direct anyway?

With a simple re-structuring of your code, you can just do an
"include" to get the form back in with the data pre-filled, and have
them try again.

Why waste an HTTP connection, more hard drive hits to include all your
function libraries (or whatever), ...?

You've already GOT all the info you need in your hands right there to
display what you want to display.  Just display it.

Not really, no, not with the re-direct...

But why do you feel the need to do a re-direct anyway?

With a simple re-structuring of your code, you can just do an
"include" to get the form back in with the data pre-filled, and have
them try again.

Why waste an HTTP connection, more hard drive hits to include all your
function libraries (or whatever), ...?

You've already GOT all the info you need in your hands right there to
display what you want to display.  Just display it.

[PHP] Redirect via GET is loosing characters

[Merlin]

Hi there,

I am checking plausability inside a php script that receives a POST 
submit. If an error occures the user should be redirected back, along 
with his original data filled into the forms.


There is a problem with this. As the GET method, which the redirect is 
using, only allows a certain amount of characters, the text is always 
cut down.


I use this:
HEADER("Location:".$data[rurl]."?error=".$error.$parameter);

Is there a way to redirect the user to the form and fill in large text?

Thank you for your help,

Best regards, Merlin

This is a normal behaviour. Webservers trim the GET-request at a certain 
length.


You have several options:
- don't do a redirect but return the form, with most clean frameworks it 
should be no problem to include the action wich generates the form
- save the variables in a session, then send the redirect-header and 
clean the session after regenerating the form
- save the variables in a cookie stored at the client and clean the 
cookie afterwards (ugly)

Thanks all I manged to fix it.

The headers were already sent by a validation class I was using and needed a

This site is hosted on 1and1.com and DEFINTELY does a header redirect:
http://telephonebook.com/

In fact, that's pretty much *all* the site does :-)

It's like a tinyURL for your phone number to your blog thingie.

Ignore the ugliness, please. We've got new artwork going up shortly.

I forget what your exact issue is, but a good first step to take when
debugging a problem with header() is to replace it with echo. For example:

echo "Location: $url";

Instead of:

header("Location: $url");

Almost every problem I can recall someone having with header() was a
result of either:

1. Headers already being sent, as others have guessed.
2. The argument passed to header() being malformed, and the browser
doesn't interpret the malformed header as desired.

Hope that helps.

actually, let me re-state that, it will then display the error that is being 
generated.

It won't fix it, but at least display it to you.

It will probably complain about output in a given file somewhere before you are 
calling header(...)

it will give you the line number that the output is being generated on.

if you look at your error_report setting.  is it 2037

somebody correct me if I am wrong, but isn't this setting

I ran this on my older system and found that
(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_WARNING) all together = 2037

so, even though you have display_errors turned on, it isn't going to show them.
you need to set this to just E_ALL



This should solve your problem

I have several sites with 1and1, and I use header() with no problems.  The
main issue I have run into with header() is that your script can produce NO
OUTPUT prior to the header() call.  Not even a whitespace, else header()
will not work.

That is, unless you use output buffering. It may not be the most elegant
solution (using header() to redirect users increases server calls), but I
built a template-driven php site that calls:

I believe you should also be sending a 301 status header so user
agents can be made aware of the redirect and make updates accordingly
(bookmarks, etc.)

Very bad solution.


Don't just tell us it's bad, explain why (even with an RTFM or URL to 
look at)... nobody learns from an answer like this.


The only thing I can think of is that $_SERVER variables can be 
compromised (ie you can't rely on them, they can be changed via curl or 
some other method).


But that's just a guess.

I understand that. I'm sorry, I am obviously not making myself clear...

The php manual page tells me that I can't use header() after any output has 
been sent, thus making it useless in my (obviously badly explained) case 
above.

What happens in my app is: the data processing is in several discrete 
sequential stages, each one echoing status to the user. When it hits 
something that requires additional pre-processing by a different page, I 
use the http-equiv redirect with a 3 second delay so the user can read the 
message telling them what is going on.

Am I correct that header() is no use for this, and is there a "correct" way 
to achieve what I describe? I'm a bit concerned that my ignorance may have 
led me to do this wrong - this is my first php app.

Also, thanks to all the folk suggesting javascript, but this is an internal 
app, and policy has javascript turned off on all browsers.

Thanks again,

Mark

I have been using that method when I got part-way through some
processing that produces output, and hit something that requires a
redirect. As I understand it headers are no use to me here.


You're still using a Refresh header. The difference is that you're using 
a meta tag to mimic the header (e.g., http-equiv).


Using meta:



Using header():

If it helps here's the code I use to redirect

';
} else { // no headers sent... much nicer header redirect
header('location: ' . $url);
die();
}
}
?>

I have been using that method when I got part-way through some processing 
that produces output, and hit something that requires a redirect. As I 
understand it headers are no use to me here.

I'm very much a beginner, so if this is the wrong way to do this, I'd 
appreciate pointers. Thanks for the reply, either way.

There's no need to use a meta tag to mimic HTTP headers. PHP provides

It works with document.location = '...'; too. I use only this method and 
it worked on all browsers...

Take a look at the header() function.
http://php.net/header

To redirect you can use:  header("Location: http://www.example.com/";);


You can also use something like: 


echo "";

depending on your needs.

[PHP] Redirect from /rss.xml to /rss/rss.xml

[Murray @ PlanetThoughtful]

Hi All,

This may turn out to be more of an apache question (but I'm hoping there 
are some apache experts on the list as well), but I'm wondering how I 
would go about automatically redirecting requests for /rss.xml to read 
the contents of /rss/rss.xml instead?


Any help appreciated!

Much warmth,

Murray

Re: [PHP] redirect based off server string

[Leon Vismer]

If you are using apache you can use the redirect module


 Servername www.ces.ncsu.edu
 ServerAlias *
 Redirect permanent / http://www.nc4h.org/

Re: [PHP] redirect based off server string

[Greg Schnippel]

Try doing a pattern match on the server string and then using Header
to redirect them if its coming from the old server:

if (preg_match("/ces.ncsu/i", $_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"])) {
 
 header("Location: http://www.nc4h.org";);

}

[PHP] redirect based off server string

[Robert Sossomon]

Anyone have a script or know of a way to check and see what the url is of a
system and then sending it to another url if it is not right?

I have this problem where if someone is using:
http://www.ces.ncsu.edu/depts/fourh
instead of:
http://www.nc4h.org

to get to my site it is breaking other pieces within it (though there is code in
place which supposedly stops this from happening, I have found that this is not
the case)

what I plan on doing is invoking the script on the main page of each man
sub-directory and the main page so that it should catch the majority of folks.

Any suggestions/help would be greatly appreciated!

Robert

I must have not phased the question well. I have a page on
http://lyricslist.com that links to http://song-lirics.com and it is
very important that the request to http://song-lirics.com has the
referer part of the request intact. There is no id=xxx or whatever,
the server at http://song-lirics.com looks at the $HTTP_REFERER to
grant points. That works great when on http://lyricslist.com I do a
simple lyrics to http://song-lirics.com, but I don't
want to do that. Instead, I link to another page on
http://lyricslist.com so that I can record how many people clicked on
the link, and then I want to redirect to http://song-lirics.com

It's just that with the two redirect methods that I know of (header
and meta), the request to http://song-lirics.com gets there with no
referer information, as if the user typed in the address.

If you want to see it, click:
http://song-lirics.com/sl/goto.php/4
You will be redirected to http://dotancohen.com
Look at the source code, in the first few lines you will see:


No referer! Try clicking around http://dotancohen.com and look at the
source code: they all have referers!

Re: [PHP] Redirect with referer info

[Joe Wollard]

To obtain a certain portion of the referring url you might look at  
parse_url();

See http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.parse-url.php

- or -

If you want to bounce the user right back to the previous page  
including get variables you could just use this snippet.

Both of them redirect as expected, but the browser (Firefox and Opera)
do not send referer information along with the request. As this is for
