Re: [PHP] how to time an http request
If you want a tool to test HTTP server responses, then i can recommend Siege. You can specify number of simultaneous requests and URL/URLs to be tested.

RE: [PHP] Unserialize stopped working after php db upgrade
If you've seen a serialised variable a few times, you get to know how one is set up and how to interpret it. If you're using serialised variables, I'd suggest serialising a few simple ones and see what the output looks like so that you can see when things are going amiss. This is one way that I debug things. Instead of var_dump()ing or print_r()ing something, I'll echo serialize(...). It's more compact than var_dump/print_r Martin -Original Message- From: Geoff Caplan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, September 19, 2002 3:36 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] Unserialize stopped working after php db upgrade Paul, PN It looks like that string has been serialized multiple times Many thanks - that is the problem!

[PHP] Encrypting/Decrypting Data
Hello. How do you decrypt a data that's encrypted with crypt($data). Now, the php documents says crypt() is a one-way crypting function, so there is no decrypt() function. I was wondering if someone could shed some light on alternative ways to encrypt decrypt data. I've looked at mcrypt_generic and mdecrypt_generic, but am confused by the 'resource td' parameter. Perhaps, someone can explain that as well. Any help is greatly apprciated. -john =P e p i e D e s i g n s= www.pepiedesigns.com Providing Solutions That Increase Productivity Web Developement.

[PHP] Simultaneous system(),passthru()... commands. HELP PLEASE !!!
Hello everyone, I am using PHP with Windows XP. I am trying to have a .exe program (written and compiled in C) launched by my PHP script, using either system(), passthru()... That works great ... as long as I only have one request at a time. When I have two (or more request) at the same time (coming from different browser sessions), the execution of the .exe program seems to be aborted for all sessions as soon as it is finished for one of the sessions. Therefore only the first finishing session gets the good result, the other sessions keeping waiting for an output that will never come. The same problem arises if those are different .exe programs that are launched at the same time, for example program1.exe, program2.exe and program3.exe ; if program1.exe ends first, program2.exe and program3.exe get aborted ... How come ? How can I avoid that ? By advance, thank you for your help and comments ... Best regards from Belgium, Jean-Marc

[PHP] Return array from extension
Hi
This is probably a stupid question, but I can't figure it out. I've
been trying to search the PHP site for an answer without luck.
I want to return results in an array from an extension. The array may
or may not be defined. The array may or may not contain values. The
PHP function could be something like
function modarray($inoutarray)
{
if (!isset($inoutarray))
{
$inoutarray = array();
}
$inoutarray[] = newval1;
$inoutarray[] = newval2;
}
How do I do that in an extension? I want to adhere to the
recommendation that allow_call_time_pass_reference should be off.

first thing is get the data structure right - third normal form at least. table1: date group table2: group exercise weight reps or something like that. get the data model right and reports and input forms write themselves, get the structure wrong and everything becomes really difficult. there's lots of stuff out there for graphs in gdlib using php (providing you've got it installed).

[PHP] RE: use of mysql_free_result (was Re: [PHP] Efficiency)
if your query is within a loop then it would probably help, e.g.
for ($i = 1; $i = 1000; $i++)
{ $result = mysql_query(...);
...
}
in this case as $result is a resource identifier then reusing
it doesn't release the original result.

Yes. $_POST[ID] Since there are no quotes around the variable name ID and no dollar sign in front of it, PHP will look for a constant named ID and if one is not found it will blow chow. $_POST['ID'] Should work find, assuming a variable named ID came from your form.

Please tell me I am wrong. When using PHP, it is the Apache user that actually performs things, and therefore needs permissions. For example, if I want to write data to a file, I have to chmod o+w the directory it's in to get that to happen. You can use PHP not only in combination with web server (like Apache), but also as a standalone compiler/interpreter (/usr/bin/php). The trouble with this, is a shared environment, doesn't this give anyone who can use PHP on your system the ability to write over any other user's file if they know the name of it? Am I missing something fundamental here? If you are using PHP as a standalone tool there is no problem with this. On the other hand, if you do web development, then you do not usually write to files. You use database.

I am able to with a form, create a new addition to the file. What I'd like
to do now however, is before writing to the file, check the second field
(the date in this case) and if it is the same as what is being submitted,
then I want to buy using an if...else statement stop it from being written.
What I tried was to create an array called $getdate by exploding the file
that has the text above. Then, I also created a variable called $datetest
which was from the form such as: $datetest = ($day.$month.$year);
so Now i wanted to compare $getdate[1] to $datetest and if any of the
exploded arrays from $getdate[1] matched up with $getdate, i.e. what is
being submitted from the form, then it would not go to write the file.
I tried it like so:
$fd = fopen ($schedule, r);
while (!feof ($fd))
{
$currentlines = fgets($fd, 4096);
$getdate = explode(|, $currentlines);
$datetest = ($day.$month.$year);
if (preg_match ($getdate[1] , $datetest)) {
echo 'date already listed';
} else {
$fp = fopen($schedule, w);
fwrite($fp,
$current\n$homename[0]$awayname[0]$day$month$year|$day.$month.$year|$matcht
ime|$competition|$round|$homename[1]|$awayname[1]|);
fclose($fp);
echo 'success';

I am not even sure if this is the function i need to use, but if it is, my
syntaxt must be wrong, because I have tried all combinaions and I keep
getting errors.
Any suggestions?

[PHP] Check which PHP-Version a project needs?
Hi all, is there any tool to check which PHP-Version a project needs at minimum? I am looking for something that crawls through the project and notices all php-functions, variables and such and tells which PHP-version is needed to get it running, because it's hard to keep track of e.g. functions that are added to a project and then look them up in the manual to see what version it needs...

Geoff,
I looked at the string.

see all of the s's? It means that unserializer will produce a string that
looks like was not unserialized(but it was). So, I just deleted everthing to
the 'a' and removed everything past the last } at the end.
I'm glad it worked out for you:)

RE: [PHP] New problem - preg_match?
-Original Message-
From: Chad Winger [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]
Sent: 19 September 2002 06:25
Still using my text file example, which has lines such as:
0706010102|01.01.02|16:00|Serie C2|02|Forlì|Florentia Viola|
0610010102|01.07.02|16:00|Serie C2|05|Florentia Viola|Gubbio|
1806190702|19.07.02|16:00|Serie C2|05|Savona|Florentia Viola|
so Now i wanted to compare $getdate[1] to $datetest and if any of the
exploded arrays from $getdate[1] matched up with $getdate,
i.e. what is
being submitted from the form, then it would not go to write the file.
A quick inspection prompts the following comments:
(1) *please* indent your code to reflect its structure -- makes it so much
easier to read!
(2) Why re-calculate $datetest on each iteration of the loop? Do it once
before you start looping.
(3) There's no need to use something as complex as ereg: as you're checking
for simple equality, a simple == will do!
(4) It's bad practice to open the file for writing whilst you've still got
it open for reading: I'd suggest completing the scan of existing entries
(taking care to remember whether it found a duplicate or not!), then close
the file, re-open it in *append* mode (not write) and just add the single
new line. (The other option would be to use read-write mode ('a+') and
fseek() as appropriate; personally I would regard this as more error prone
for very little performance gain, but YMMV.)
A quick rewrite taking these points into account gives:
$fd = fopen ($schedule, r);
$datetest = ($day.$month.$year);
$is_new_date = TRUE; // assume this to begin with
while (!feof ($fd)):
$currentlines = fgets($fd, 4096);
$getdate = explode(|, $currentlines);
if ($getdate[1] == $datetest):
echo 'date already listed';
$is_new_date = FALSE;
break;// break out of while loop
endif;
endwhile;
fclose($fd);
if ($is_new_date):
$fp = fopen($schedule, a);
fwrite($fp,
\n$homename[0]$awayname[0]$day$month$year|$day.$month.$year|$matchtime|$com
petition|$round|$homename[1]|$awayname[1]|);
fclose($fp);
echo 'success';
endif;
Hope this helps.
Cheers!

[PHP] Re: Cannot Redeclare Function
Looks like you may not redeclare functions generally.
Because the function tbl2array can't be any kind of scope,
the functions declared inside it will be globally declared.
I think the solution is to take the functions like compname()
out of tbl2array and declare them really global.

[PHP] usort will not take variable
Hello,
Do you know the answer to this got'tcha? I want to call usort with a variable function
name. Basically, I want usort to sort any field I specify. Currently, I'm stuck
declaring a pile of functions and calling usort from if/elseif statements. :-(
Current:
function compname ($a, $b) {
return strcmp ($a[name], $b[name]);
}
function comptitle ($a, $b) {
return strcmp ($a[title], $b[title]);
}
function compcity ($a, $b) {
return strcmp ($a[city], $b[city]);
}
function compdesc ($a, $b) {
return strcmp ($a[description], $b[description]);
}
function compfile ($a, $b) {
return strcmp ($a[filename], $b[filename]);
}
if ($sortby == name) {
usort ($result, compname);
}
elseif ($sortby == title) {
usort ($result, comptitle);
}
elseif ($sortby == city) {
usort ($result, compcity);
}
elseif ($sortby == description) {
usort ($result, compdesc);
}
elseif ($sortby == filename) {
usort ($result, compfile);
}
What Works in Theory:
function mysort ($a, $b, $c) {
return strcmp ($a[$c], $b[$c]);
}
usort ($result, $mysort, $sortby);
...but, that chokes.
Your help appreciated. :-)

[PHP] Is php even right for this design?
I am interested in writing a large scale, cross platform payroll/hr/gl appl entirely in php + mysql Innodb (for transaction support). I have 2 php programmers 1 asp/foxpro/access programmer to help me. I see 4 big hurdles to overcome in my php design: Large Libraries, Long Processes, Reporting, Loosely Typed Variables 1) Payroll apps require large tax libraries (federal, every state and locality). Now If I were interested in using ASP (which I'm not) I would probably compile these libraries into a .dll that would be loaded in-process with scripts that require it. Since I'm using Php I would most likely create a few really huge include files fedtax.inc.php,statetax.inc.php,localtax.inc.php that had all of my income tax calculations. I'm guessing these three libraries will be about 200Kb combined and need to be loaded often. Is it feasible to create such large includes for an app that will likely have 1000+users. Is there a better way to keep these functions available to my scripts without using these large includes? 2)Long Processes. There are 2 types of users...general and admin. There will be only about 5 administrators. The admin users will need to run long processes that take about 5-15 minutes each. They cannot timeout and they must be done throughout the day while general users are working in the application as well. Is there a big problem with this? What steps should I take to ensure these long processes complete and do not timeout. 3)Reporting.

Re: [PHP] Is php even right for this design?
1. Never had any problems with big includes before. 2. Maybe add a console based prog which sits in the background and process's jobs if you don't want to leave the web page open while it works, etc. 3. Make them PDF's (pdflib), we use it, and once you get programming in it, it's fairly easy. 4. I've never seen PHP round a number because it thought it was a string. =) Actually, if it's a string, it's more likely to interepret it as a don't touch me variable. (That makes sense to me anyway).

Now If I were interested in using ASP (which I'm not) I would probably compile these libraries into a .dll that would be loaded in-process with scripts that require it. Since I'm using Php I would most likely create a few really huge include files fedtax.inc.php,statetax.inc.php,localtax.inc.php that had all of my income tax calculations. I'm guessing these three libraries will be about 200Kb combined and need to be loaded often. Is it feasible to create such large includes for an app that will likely have 1000+users. Is there a better way to keep these functions available to my scripts without using these large includes? 2)Long Processes. There are 2 types of users...general and admin. There will be only about 5 administrators. The admin users will need to run long processes that take about 5-15 minutes each. They cannot timeout and they must be done throughout the day while general users are working in the application as well. Is there a big problem with this? What steps should I take to ensure these long processes complete and do not timeout. 3)Reporting.

Re: [PHP] Best practice question
One extra variable to be declared to catch the true (if you do try and catch it) and one extra line (the return line in the function), I'd say skip it if you know your never returning anything different.

Hi Adam,
What are peoples' thoughts on one should always return
a value from a function, even if it's always going to be
true?
I'd say skip it if you know your never returning anything

Yeah, that's what I was leaning towards :-)
What prompted the question was a constructor like this:
class foo {
var $timestamp;
function foo () {
$this-timestamp = mktime();
}
}
I just can't see any reason to return anything from it, unless someone wants
to tell me otherwise...

Re: [PHP] about $_post
$_POST[ID] Since there are no quotes around the variable name ID and no dollar sign in front of it, PHP will look for a constant named ID and if one is not found it will blow chow. Depending on your error_reporting() level whether this warning is reported or not. Better to not use this method, though. $_POST['ID'] Should work find, assuming a variable named ID came from your form. However, I wouldn't get in the habit of writing my arrays like this. It's confusing to say the least. What habit would you recommend? This is the way to do it.

Re: [PHP] In a shared environment...
Relative newbie here, and I am just coming to grips with something that I think is a very bad thing... Please tell me I am wrong. When using PHP, it is the Apache user that actually performs things, and therefore needs permissions. For example, if I want to write data to a file, I have to chmod o+w the directory it's in to get that to happen. The trouble with this, is a shared environment, doesn't this give anyone who can use PHP on your system the ability to write over any other user's file if they know the name of it? Am I missing something fundamental here? Any help would be appreciated! Bill Yep, that's the problem. Running in safe_mode will protect some of those things, along with other settings like include_path, etc. Best protection is to get a dedicated server, though, so you're the only one on it. They really aren't that expensive anymore. ---John Holmes... -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
RE: [PHP] Is php even right for this design?
1) Large Includes 200K of includes? Piece of cake! Remember, it is the server that is doing all of the work, not your clients. The issue is how many requests can your server simultaneously process and is there enough overhead to do it. With respect to speed, your server will cache the files after their first and repeated use, so you won't have to pull them from disk every single time. 2)Long Processes. 3)Reporting. Neither one of these things is a problem with PHP. The pdf library suggestion is a great one for reports. However, if it were me I would write a secondary app in my language of choice, like VB, foxpro, java, (but not access) which would still give me direct access to my data but would allow for some of the advanced admin/reporting tasks that PHP just didn't do well. Now, if everything must be web based, than you are limited to java or php or vbscript or other web langauges. 4)Loosely Typed Variables. mysql CAN BE very specific in it's typing requirements. PHP is a bit loose, but frankly html is looser. As the developer you have control to be as stricht as possible and validate/format all data any way you want. PHP has the tools to do this. me. 5.) But If there's a better framework for developing such an app, please let me know. Maybe there is, maybe there isn't. PHP will certainly drop the development time significantly. Give your requirements, I see no reason why you shouldn't move forward.

I wouldn't say this is a specific PHP question. True to all web
languages I now of, and as many responses :)
The quick answer is that most people use a switch statement:
$thefunction_call = 'whatever'
for instance:
switch($thefunction_call) {
case Ask :
$action = 'SeekAnswer';
break;
case SlowSearch :
$action = 'SlowSearch';
break;
case askus :
$action = 'askus';
break;
default :
$action = 'SeekAnswer';
break;
}
But there are other ways, too many other ways :), here is one I'm using
on a current app:
$fid = get_fid($input);
$input is the get or post input that I run through a processor (check
for stuff I don't like and return new array).
The following allows me to use the submit field to call different
functions based upon the value of the submit button.
function get_fid($input) {
$submit2fid = array(
'Mark done'='markTaskDone',
'Mark dropped'='markTaskDropped',
'Edit'='editTask',
'Update All'='UpdateAllTasks',
);
if(empty($input['fid'])) {
if(empty($submit2fid[$input['submit']])) {
$fid = 'showAdminPage';
}else{
$fid = $submit2fid[$input['submit']];
}
}else{
$fid = $input['fid'];
}
return $fid;
}
so now I have a $fid (function id)
I actually do something bizarre like this:
$app_results = $functions-run($class,$fid);
Function has this:
return call_user_func(array($this-$class,$fid),$this-global);
I'm *trying* to come up with a componentization idea which sounds good
but is hard to implement and I've yet to see an implemenation that I
like.
I run an element of $app_results through it's template
$data = $app_results[0];
$status = $app_results[1];
$new_fid= $app_results[2]; // can be empty
$body_file = $viewer-Merge($data,$template);
$data['content'] = $body_file;
$html_file = $viewer-Merge($data,'index.html');
Now I have just one html file which contains the pieces of my app to
now be presented to whatever called it (would have different templates
and the viewer would manipulate the data depending on the caller).

out how to pass bname in the link using pear.With pear bnname=0

Hi All,
Using a link I could pass
$bname to another page and using SELECT * FROM table WHERE bname =
\$bname\; I could get all I need from the db on the new page. Now
that globals have been turned off and superglobals are replacing them.
How should I pass and catch the var?

Re: [PHP] PHP Execution Timer
Here is a function I sometimes use to log that will show you the time
that has passed since the last log entry. I find it very useful, so that
you can test a section of code's execution time simply by surrounding it
with calls to this function.
Maybe it will be useful to you.
Chris
function log_message($log_file, $log_message)
{
global $last_log_write;
# SET FORMATTED DATE
$formatted_date=date(Y-m-d H:i:s);
# IF THIS IS THE FIRST LOG MESSAGE
if (!isset($last_log_write))
{
error_log([$formatted_date] [-]
$log_message\n, 3, $log_file);
$last_log_write=microtime();
$last_log_write=explode( , $last_log_write);
$last_log_write=doubleval($last_log_write[1]) +
doubleval($last_log_write[0]);

# ELSE (THIS IS NOT THE FIRST MESSAGE), CALCULATE TIME SINCE LAST LOG

$curr_log_write=microtime();

The idea is a page execution timer.. or a database query timer.. basically it shows
you just a time (usually in msecs) it took for the last command to be executed.. I
have seen it used for queries and it returns the time it took.. And I am quite sure
I've seen it used for actual page generation as well, whereby it says something like
page generated in x.xxx secs

[PHP] session cookies
OK guys... here's my question - I'm using 4.2.3 and apache 1.3.26, and I've got sessions setup. however, it seems to be using an SID attached to the URL, and I want to force it to use a cookie that points to a transparent SID on my system. I've got the following options in my php.ini, but the system doesn't seem to ever use a cookie, and the sessions don't die. (that's my biggest concern is that the user has to login to the system EVERY time he visits the site.) session.use_cookies = 1 session.use_only_cookies = 1 session.use_trans_sid = 1 -- Thanks, Jeff Bluemel -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

(that's my biggest concern is that the user has to login to the system EVERY time he visits the site.) session.use_cookies = 1 session.use_only_cookies = 1 session.use_trans_sid = 1 With use_trans_sid set, PHP is going to append the session ID to the URL of links, etc., on: 1) The client's first visit, determined by the fact that the client sent no session ID 2) Any other visit where the client sent a session ID on the URL but not in a cookie It sounds to me like either you're only noticing the first case there, or your browser is not supplying the cookie on subsequent requests. Maybe this bit of information will help you. Happy hacking. Chris -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] session cookies
I also just noticed that you have session.use_only_cookies = 1, so unless you get the session ID back in a cookie, the session will restart.

Re: [PHP] pass var through URL String
I was wrong, it is passing $bname. I have got it down to a syntax error
by using.

RE: [PHP] PHP Execution Timer
This function:

{
list($usec, $sec) = explode( ,microtime());
return ((float)$usec + (float)$sec);
}
is provided on this page:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.microtime.php
and is needed for the code below to work properly.

?
$timerOn = 1; // set to 0 if you want to turn it off $timestart =
getmicrotime(); ?
Bottom:
?
if($timerOn)
{
$timeend = getmicrotime();
$timer = $timeend - $timestart;
echo timer: $timer;

Similar things could be done with MySQL quereies, but I haven't looked
into it.

RE: [PHP] Stripping specific tags
I was wondering is there a way to strip ONLY the tags that you specify from a page, rather than having to include all the tags you do want (using strip_tags() ) A regular expression or str_replace() would be best for this. Realize this isn't a good method, though. What if you're trying to strip images with an img tag, but a new spec comes out that allows image tags. Now you're not protected against it. That's a simple example, but it's a better policy to say X is good and allow it through, rather than to say, I know Y is bad, but I'll let everything else through and assume it's good. ---John Holmes... -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
RE: [PHP] Loop through POST-result
I would like to get all the data from a POST-result into an array.
Is there a function like that adds all the vars from the post into an
array
where Key is the name of the form-field and Value is the value entered
in
this field.
Like this:
array('firstname' = 'fname', 'lastname' = 'lname');
Are you serious?
Take a look at the $HTTP_POST_VAR or $_POST array, which, amazingly, is
an array that holds your form data, with the key is the name of the form
field and the value is the value of the form element
