Hi,
I have been using Hypermail for archiving our mailing lists but I'm
becoming and more frustrated with its limitations.
Is there an equivalent PHP script to hypermail out there? Ideally,
I would like to maintain the incoming e-mail addresses in a mysql
database.
Thanks,
-Greg
I know that ~.my.cnf with
[client]
password={mypass}
is the recommended method of securing your MySQL password when using a
shell command line to access MySQL.
But what is the recommended method for MySQL password security via
PHP? Is there some way to make it use the ~.my.cnf file?
It seems to me that if you hardcode a MySQL password into your PHP
source code, it could become exposed inadvertently. Forgive me if
this is already answered in the FAQ or manual.
Egan
Thanks for the tip. I actually read that the default for mySQL is TAB and LF
for delimiters, so I used those in SQL and exported a .txt file, imported it
into mySQL database and voila! A few code modifications and we be running on
mySQL.
Thanks again!
Jason

Just did this to a 65mb fixed width file.
What I did was get it into a csv file via perl :)
Then I created the db table.
Then I used:
load data infile "/file.csv" into table blah fields terminated by ',' ;
then go ahead and create any indexes etc...

Of course. But the persistent connection are not working as the manuals say

That has nothing to do with apache. If the SQL statments are well
implemented, the second query wouldn't see any of the changes that the first
query executed until the work is commited, and it shouldn't be able to modify
the rows with which the first query is updating or deleting.
But thats Postgres that doesn't let it, not the apache server, not php.

It appears this riddle has been solved: From a post by Adam Lang on
pgsql-php on Dec 8:
<start quote>
Well, there's a problem with PHP's [mis]documentation. First of all,
it counts open DB connections not on per-webserver, but on
per-process/thread basis.
The default PHP config file has the limits of persistent and
non-persistent connections set to -1 (no limit)... Setting it to
some (supposedly) reasonable value (like, 50) accomplishes nothing: you
should multiply 50 by the number of webserver processes/threads. There
can be lots of them... :[
And then there comes PHP's "logic": if I can just open the new
connection, why bother reusing the old one? And thus Postgres backends
start multiplying like rabbits, eventually reaching the limit... :[
You should set a reasonable limit on number of open persistent
connections (like 1, maybe 2 or 3), only then PHP will actually reuse
them. My webserver now works with such setup and there are no more
problems with pg_pconnect().

You are assuming that the Postgres backend has accurate information
about the client's identity. The "client" for the backend is the Apache
child, not the browser. The Postgres backend doesn't know anything about
web browsers. So if Apache/PHP allows a 2nd browser to connect to a
particular Apache process while it's waiting for a query to complete
that would generate information to be sent back to the first browser,
then you're in trouble. But I think it would be pretty silly for
Apache/PHP to allow that.

Yes, I got this mail from Adam, but I think it was on the IMP mailing list or
the Postgres-devel mailing list. Well, that doesn't matter to much. ;-)
Any way, it speaks very bad about the logic that PHP has of what is a
persistent connection (I think I had the same problem with informix).

OK, lets see if we can understand what each other is saying (maybe I'm not
getting your point here).
Lets say browser A connects to the apache server, to a page using php code.
Lets say the code is OK (no bugs). Apache opens a persistent connection to
the database and starts executing the queries. Now the connection between the
apache server and the web browser doesn't close until the queries are all
finished and the output is send back to the browser.
Now, how about if browser B connects to the apache server just in the middle
of the execution of the queries that browser A asked for?
Well, the connection between Browser A and the web server is still opened, so
another httpd child process answers the request. If a persistent connection
is needed (as Adam said) this child will open a new one, because the other
one is still in use.
So now you have two web connections with two backend connections.
My question would be, and seeing Adams thoughts, wouldn't it be the best
optimization configuration of php.ini to have only one persistent conection?
Wouldn't there be one per-child? Any way, you can't have two connections to
the same httpd child.
Saludos... :-)

I thought one of the points being raised (can't find the mail/thread I'm
referring to now) was that somehow confusion might ensue from a mix-up,
on the Apache/PHP level, regarding the client identity, thus corrupting a
transaction in progress. It seemed to make sense but now that we've
discussed it, I can't see anymore how it might happen.
. . . [ goes away to search mail archives ] . . .
Ah, here we go. A post from Rod Taylor on pgsql-hackers on Dec 27:
------------------ begin quote ------------------
The *real* problem with persistent connections is:
Script1: BEGIN;
Script1: UPDATE table set row = 'things';
Script2: Insert into table (id) values ('bad data');
Script1: COMMIT;
Since script2 managed to do a BAD insert in the middle of script1's
transaction, the transaction in script1 fails. Obvious solution? Don't
do
connection sharing when a transaction is enabled. The whole persistent
connection thing is only valid for mysql as it's the only thing that
doesn't
really support transactions (and even thats partially changed).
They need to look for stuff going through (keywords like BEGIN) and
'lock'
that connection to the single entity that opened it.
It's much easier to write your own. I wrote a few functions like:
get_connection('DB PARMS');
begin_transaction();
commit_transaction();
close_connection();

Those where my thoughts too (or, rather, Adams thoughts ;)), and this is
what I am trying at the moment.

I need to format decimals that are percise to the second place in the
following format:
4.00 to 4
4.50 to 4.5
4.25 to 4.25
As you can see, I just want to drop the trailing zeros, and if necessary the
decimal.
Thanks

Hello Ethan,
$onum=4.11440;
$onum =number_format($onum,2)+0;
echo $onum;
With this technique, you get the following:
$onum output
4.166 4.12
4.135 4.11
4.000 4
4.3000 4.3
Is that what you wanted? To me, it's much easier to code and use
than reg expressions and replaces.
Best regards,
Randy

I know the UNIX epoch is 1/1/1970 and that mktime() returns the number of
seconds between that date and the date specified by its parameters. If this
date is before 1/1/1970, it always returns -1, not a large negative number,
which would be more reasonable, i think.
The question is: How can I know the number of seconds ellapsed between any
date in the past and today?
Thanks in advance.
use Date_Calc.

The problem is that informix puts in an array (sort of) all the info about
the last query. What sort of information would you like? Last insert? You
have an pg_getlastoid() function.
Hope it helps.

Is it possible to enable track_vars from a .htaccess doc, and does anyone
have a link to a good basic (as in, insanely beginner) tutorial to do it?
Here's a tutorial :
http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/php/2001/01/11/php_admin.html
Here's track_vars in the manual :
http://www.php.net/manual/en/configuration.php#ini.track-vars
So in .htaccess it would be something like :
php_flag track_vars 1
To have it off, it would be :
php_flag track_vars 0

If it requires too many hoops to jump through for people to
program in PHP with the intention to distribute, then no matter
how much better PHP is than other solutions, the decision will
be: bag it, it's too much trouble, find something else.
I never said that obfuscating the code is a requirement for all people.
I'd like to know where I said that. It's easy to make me sound like an
idiot or worse when you put words in my mouth. I said that for some
people it is. BIG difference. To dismiss those people is kind of foolish.
Doesn't the existance of such a product help *promote* the use of PHP?
isn't that what we all want? If there are barriers that prevent people
from using PHP, then doesn't it make sense to address those? If
*they* want it (a obfuscation method) or need it, then they do. It's
not your right to tell people how to distribute their code, or in
what method to do it.
And I could tell you stories about how much licenses and NDAs and
such other legal agreements mean to some... :)

That was not how I understood what you wrote.

"out of the question" does not imply this "some people" idea. The above
says that if you wish to seriously write proprietary php, you must buy the
Encoder. My simple point is that there are other ways to approach the
problem.

"seriously proprietary" sounds, well, serious. If someone has
something "seriously proprietary" I doubt, sincerely doubt, that
saying "You can tell them No in a Licence" will be accepted with
a happy and warm grin :)
That's why I quoted the exact line ;)

Charge $6000 to the big companies, I have no problem with that. I personally
would be willing to pay that if web applications was my business. But at the
same time, allow those who don't necessarily need to have the encoder but
just want some code encoded to have an affordable solution.
there is an alternative, Zend sells packages of 5 -20- and 100 uses of the
encoder, in license packs.... for allot less.... granted the largest is
still 1000 USD, but its less.... I'm sure that there are other alternatives
to using the Zend encoder, (Obstruficating <SP?> is Rasmus's argument) but
even using his method, there is a BIG possibility that anyone who wants to
will find that hidden security measure, or your DB code, and rip it, hack
it, slash it, and package it to profit from your work.
We are in the process of creating a large project for distribution, and the
encoder is paramount to the system we are designing.... without it, we don't
have a chance in hell of keeping our security keys secure from prying
eyes.... of course, we are one of those companies which can afford to drop
6G's at this program, but we weren't expecting it to run that high. I must
say that Zend did a lousy PR job at promoting the system, but we need to use
it.

Subject: RE: [PHP] Zend hit (Encoder price)
My question is-
Does the encoder license permit a company to purchase the license, and then
optionally encode php for third parties?
Can I, for example, encode purchase the encoder, and then make a deal with
John who can't afford the encoder to encode John's web application for $150
and give John the encoded version?
The answer, unfortunately, is no, at least as I read the commercial license.
This is really too bad, if you ask me- as there are a lot of really bright
kids out there who have seen that the Open Source model, while very noble
and absolutely loved, doesn't always pay. Why then, should they develop
using php if they are not capable of protecting their code if that's their
choice?
They'll be using Java or C/C++ or perl (which can be encoded for a lot
less).
There needs to be a solution where those who do not yet have big bucks can
take advantage of the encoder to protect what their mind has conceived.
Otherwise, they won't use php (or their code will be ripped off if its
really really good) and zend will lose future market as these brilliant
minds move towards affordable technology to protect what their intellectual
work.
Charge $6000 to the big companies, I have no problem with that. I personally
would be willing to pay that if web applications was my business. But at the
same time, allow those who don't necessarily need to have the encoder but
just want some code encoded to have an affordable solution.

Yes, but name me one way that will ensure your code in the manner that Zend
does it, making your code unreadable just pisses the people off who wish to
alter the parts which are intended to be altered. And with Zend, its
possible to write readable code, encode the sensitive parts, and invite the
open source market with open arms without risking anything.... Imagine a
script which requires a license code to unlock the program, but yet wants to
incorporate the OS Market to extend the script.... how long do you think it
will take for someone to find your access keys?
Now this assumes that you will be using straight PHP, and while some small
C++ app will accomplish this, only those with that experience can write
those in and that places limits on what those companies can do. They are PHP
Scripters, not C++ coders.
Just my thoughts,
Dallas K.

That was not how I understood what you wrote.

"out of the question" does not imply this "some people" idea. The above
says that if you wish to seriously write proprietary php, you must buy the
Encoder. My simple point is that there are other ways to approach the
problem.

Write yourself a PHP extension and put whatever sensitive business logic
in that and distribute the .so alongside your userspace scripts.
I said nothing about license codes that unlock anything, nor code
obfuscation. I know that's how you understood it, but your misunderstood.

Hi,
I'm finding some problems on using number_format($value, $decimal, ",",
".") when I have a value comming from a resultset (database query
results)...
If I had something like '123.45', using number_format it will return
'123,00'.
I think this happens because my value is a string and PHP rounds it
before using it on number_format. If I try to change the data type like
(double) $value, I will also have a '123.00' result.
I could do something on database like 'to_char(FIELD, '999G999D99') but
database default is '.' for decimal separator and ',' for thousand
separator...and I want the opposite.
Suggestions/Solutions? :)
Thanks,

I have a question that may seem kind of silly, but I'm curious...
When using PHP why would one use "var" to define a variable as opposed to
just regularly creating it?
For example, if I have a class defined as below:
<pre>
class Simple {
var $a;
function Simple() {
$this->a = 5;
}
function first() {
return $this->a;
}
}
</pre>
This class, when created, sets the variable $a to 5, and the function first
returns the value in $a.... my question is could I omit the var and still
have it function in this fashion? What is the purpose of it?
Also, can I access this variable through the same -> convention, i.e. would
the following be allowed?
<pre>
$test = new Simple();
echo $test->a;
</pre>
Thanks.

Because that's the way it is ;).
The var is part of the syntax of a class definition; it isn't used
anywhere else. I don't know the actual deep reason for having it, as
far as the parser is concerned, but it does make it clear - at least
to me - what the class variables are.
You can also initialize the variable here, too:
var $a = 5;

Yep.
You can also _set_ $a this way:
$test = new simple;
$test->a = 77;
echo $test->first();
will display 77.

If $i is a counter then $i%2 will alternate between 0 and 1
$i%3 would cycles through 0,1 and 2

$color = "tan";

I use a slightly different technique...
Defined in database or global file:
$tblbgcolor1="FFFFFF";
$tblbgcolor2="FFFFCC";
Program Loop to create the table:
$altcolor=$tblbgcolor2;
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($Query)) {
if ($altcolor==$tblbgcolor2)
$altcolor=$tblbgcolor1;
else
$altcolor=$tblbgcolor2;
echo "<TR bgcolor='#$altcolor'><TD>Text to
display on Row</TD></TR>";
}
(this loops through rows fetched from a mysql table, but can be
any kind of loop)

I thought I saw in one of the older manuals that there is an optional second parameter
to 'file_exists' that will tell it too search the 'include_path' for a file instead of
using an absolute path. However, I can't seem to find this documentation any more.
Does anyone know if this still works? How it works? If it's just a second boolean
parameter or what?
In other words, instead of:
if (file_exists("/www/inc/my_script.php")) {...}
I'd like to say:
if (file_exists("my_script.php", TRUE)) {...} // or something like this
assuming "/www/inc" is part of my include_path.
Thanks.
Dean.
It doesn't. Some of the file-related functions have that capability and some don't.
This may be what you're looking for:
function file_exists_in_path($file) {
foreach(split(':', ini_get('include_path')) as $dir) {
if ($dir[sizeof($dir)-1] != '/') {
$dir.='/';
}
if (file_exists($dir.$file)) {
return TRUE;
}
}
return FALSE;
}

You will probably be much happier in the future if you make a
one-to-many setup rather than a many-to-many.
As Mathew said, create your tables with:
BID table:
bidid, projectid, OtherFields
PROJECT table:
projectid, OtherFields
If you are at a project and want to look at bids, just "select *
from bid where projectid ='<CurrentProjectID>'"
Even if you have multiple projects per bid, you might try to
create one bid record for each project in that bid which would
maintain the above methodology.
But having fields such as Bid1, Bid2, etc, is a VERY bad idea. At
various client's sites, I've had to maintain/fix other
programmer's programs who used that technique and it will
strangle the program.

Randy

Almost there... actually this creates one problem...
It turns 40.00 into 4
It needs to quit shaving zero's when it hits the decimal point.
40.00 into 40
45.50 into 45.5
40.25 into 40.25

Hi,

How do I write this as a function to include in my .php files.

Many thanks,

One of exec, system or backtick (ie. `) functions will do it for you.

John "Neutiquam erro" Meredith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
i found out that the mcrypt functions/library leak memory (libmcrypt 2.4.5)
with PHP 4.0.2 (on Solaris 2.6) and Apache 1.3.12 (actually, it's Stronghold
3.0).
the function that leaks is mcrypt_generic_init().
the PHP manual states that if you call mcrypt_generic_end (), it will clear
up the buffer and close the library. however, i found out that the function
unfortunately does not dealloc the memory.
if someone could confirm this, i'll submit it into the bugs report.

is there anyway to post without clicking a submit button?
Without knowing exactly what you want to do, I would try something like the
following in JavaScript:
function doSubmit() {
document.form.submit()
}
Then associate the function with any sort of desired event. In a project
of mine, I have it attached to a keypress function so that the form is
submitted when the user presses the enter key from the last form field. I
suppose you could also put it in the BODY tag if you're feeling especially
adventurous.

yes, with javascript:
<script>
function sendIt(form) {
form.submit();
return true;
}
function startIt() {
setTimeout('sendIt(document.formName)',3000);
}
</script>
<body onload="startIt();">
<form method=post action=someScript name=formName>
<input type=hidden value=turkey name=bacon>
</form>
timeout is in milliseconds.
you could alternately pass document.formName directly to sendIt.

Sorry, just to be a bit clearer... Suppose you wanted to associate it with
a link, you could do something like the following:
<a href="#" onClick="javascript:doSubmit();">click here to submit</a>
Hope that helps.

there is some code at the PHP code exchange that allows you to do http post
with only PHP (not using java script)... it might not do exactly what you
have in mind, but it's an interesting alternative.

Hi,
Can someone confirm this behavior on their system. I've tried it on 4.0.2
and 4.03pl1, both on Linux boxes, both with the same results.
echo "One Character: " . exec("echo 't'",$tmp) . "<br>\n";
echo "One Character: " . $tmp[0] . "<br>\n";
echo "Two Characters: " . exec("echo 'te'",$tmp) . "<br>\n";
My output is:
One Character:
One Character: t
Two Characters: te
It seems if the output of exec is one character it gets discarded somewhere.
The ouput is correct in the array argument, but the "last line of output" is
not returned by the function if the length of the "last line of output" is
1.
Thanks,
Dustin
Hello,
Does Version 4 support either { } "squiglees" or [ ] "brackets" in this
code:
if($retrn{strlen($retrn)-1} == '&')
-or-
if($retrn[strlen($retrn)-1] == '&')
I am developing on ver 3.0 and the { } don't work in the above, but the
brackets do.

Yes. This is a 4.x feature only. The idea is that in the long run, []
will no longer be supported for string offsets, only {} will.

Yup, especially since all the games are on the TI, though they're pretty
scarce for the 89, my personal preference, since they're more expensive, so
fewer people have them.
The options: Get a graph-link cable (which I can't find ANYWHERE), or make
your own during study hall, making them sufficiently stupid that the code
can be compressed down to a screenful:
kyk():Prgm:Local a,b,c:13->a:"|------------+------------|"->b:ClrIO:Output
0,-1,left(b,a)&"¥"&right(b,a):While abs(13-a)<13:getKey()->c:If abs(50-c)=1
Then:a+c-50->a:Output
0,-1,left(b,a)&"¥"&right(b,26-a):EndIf:EndWhile:EndPrgm
Play with the 1 and 3 keys. Guess what it does by just looking at the code,
and win a free donut (should arrive within 6-8 weeks, and shouldn't be too
stale by then). 1 and 3 have character codes 49 and 51, respectively, if you
want to take this on...
George and I have identified and fixed a bug involving class member data
initialization. This seems to fix session support in PHPLIB, and
possibly other related problems as well.
A simple example of offending code:
class Foo {
var $x = array("b" => "c");
var $y = array("a");
}
'$x' was correctly serialized, but '$y' was not.
The patch is up on our cvs repository (via ssh to
apc.communityconnect.com:/cvs, port 23, user:anoncvs, pwd:cvs).

hi..
i use the session-functions with php4 and everything works fine.
but if a visitor turns off cookies nothing seems to work..
is there a way to support a sessionid with cookies and thru the url ?
thanks

Hi all,
This isn't strictly a PHP issue but is quite related. Given that you have
a PHP-driven web site with user authorization and session identifiers etc.,
what can you do to prevent electronic "snooping" of the clear text password
that is passed from the browser to the server? When filling out a form,
for example:
Enter your user name and password:
...
<FORM ACTION="<?=$PHP_SELF?>" METHOD="POST">
<B>User Name:</B><BR>
<INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="newusername" VALUE="" SIZE="10" MAXLENGTH="15">
<P>
<B>Password:</B><BR>
<INPUT TYPE="password" NAME="newpassword" VALUE="" SIZE="10" MAXLENGTH="15">
<P>
<INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT" NAME="submit" VALUE="Login">
</FORM>
...
the TYPE="password" makes sure the browser doesn't echo the password as it
is typed but it is still sent to the web server as clear text. How do
folks deal with this issue?
Thanks,
Bill

The only way to keep a password secure between the client and server is to
use a Secure Socket Layer (SSL) to create an encrypted channel of
communication between the client and server. You can see this in practice
over at Sourceforge.net. They use PHP over an SSL connection to handle user
logins.
Do a seach on Google for 'SSL' and start reading :)

Hello Philip,
(PO == "Philip Olson") [EMAIL PROTECTED] forecasted:
PO> http://www.php.net/tips.php
PO> it will turn your browser into a search machine.
Even better, for people who use EditPlus (sorry, unsure about other
editors) you can do this with just one shortcut from within EditPlus
itself.
Since IE 5 is my primary browser:
Follow the instructions on http://www.php.net/tips.php for adding the
Quick Search add-on. (I named my shortcut php, but you could use
anything you wanted.)
Then in EditPlus, go to:
Tools -> Configure User Tools
Click on the 'Add Tool >>' button.
Choose 'Program' from the pop-out.
I named mine 'PHP Search'
Command: C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\Iexplore.exe
Argument: php $(CurWord)
(Where 'php' in the above is the same shortcut name you entered in IE
Quicksearch)
Initial Directory: leave it blank or you'll get the the 'Launch
Window' MS-DOS box along with the browser.
Click 'Apply' then 'OK'
Now, when you need to consult the manual for a specific function (or
heck, any term), just hit Ctrl+[number] where [number] is the shortcut
displayed beside 'PHP Search' in the Tools menu.
For example, if I placed my cursor right before the 'm' in:
@mysql_pconnect($host, $username, $password)
And hit Ctrl+6, it opens IE and takes me straight to:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-pconnect.php
For the 'Argument' line in 'Configure User Tools' you could also use
php $(CurSel) but you'll have to highlight a word before you hit
Ctrl+[number].
If you're not using IE, this should still be pretty easy to configure.
If anyone can't get this to work, let me know off-list. I'll be glad
to help.
-Brian
Hi,
Is there any way to do a stack crawl/trace when an error occurs? Today, I
only get the line in the script in which the error occured, but I have to
put on my Sherlock habit in order to find the actual sequence of avents that
led up to the error....
Cheers,
-Morten
