If you are using RH 8 its not in httpd.conf but /etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf.

It looks like you are viewing a dos/windows file on unix. The ^M is 
carriage return, which is needed as part of a dos/window end of line 
sequence (carriage return, line feed) whereas unix uses just line feed.

On unix (well, a full install of linux) there are the conversion 
programs dos2unix and unix2dos. If transferring by ftp, use ASCII not 
BINARY transfer.

I'm not sure how to help more, as it is not clear what you are trying to do.

[PHP] need help widh comparing dates

[Centras]

I need to compare dates which opens commenting system.

For example: If show starts 2003.05.01 20:00 then I need that only from
that date and time the commenting system apears on my site ant would
be there all the time from the start of the show. But in my code the
commenting system opens only for one hour, take a look:
-
$year_now = date("Y",$timelt);
$month_now = date("m",$timelt);
$day_now = date("d",$timelt);
$hour_now = date("H",$timelt);
$minute_now = date("i",$timelt);
$year_show = $row['year'];
$month_show = $row['month'];
$day_show = $row['day'];
$hour_show = $row['hour'];
$minute_show = $row['minute'];
 if ($year_now >= $year_show && $month_now >= $month_show && $day_now
 && $day_show  $hour_now = $hour_show && $minute_now >= $minute_show) {
   COMMENTING SYSTEM OPENED
{
else { COMMENTING SYSTEM CLOSED }
-

What SOLUTION would solve the problem?

Re: [PHP] chill out

[Steve Edberg]

Well, you could do what the sunmanagers mailing list does...every so 
often (every month? every other month?) a 95KB FAQ is sent to all 
subscribers. However, the main problem is getting people to READ it. 
And those people likely to read it are probably the same people who'd 
do the requisite documentation/web search first anyway.

I suppose you could set it up so that only new subscribers got the 
FAQ. Or if you want to be really ambitious/annoying, new subscribers 
would get the FAQ, then - to activate them on the mailing list - 
they'd have to take a short web-based quiz on the contents of the FAQ 
before they are allowed to post.

However, as others have said, the signal-to-noise ratio of this list 
is pretty high, easiest thing is just to tolerate/ignore the 
inappropriate questions...

One thing that you should do when passing values through the URL is to

[PHP] Why PHP reads local php.ini?

[Jose Luis Pérez Ruiz]

I mean than when you run PHP in CGI mode, PHP doesn´t read default php.ini
location. It first to look php in your actual path. An example...

ecazfe04:/home3/www# php -v
PHP 4.3.1 (cgi), Copyright (c) 1997-2002 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v1.3.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2002 Zend Technologies


ecazfe04:/home3/www# export REQUEST_METHOD="POST"
// Now we are in CGI mode as if it was called from Apache.

ecazfe04:/home3/www# export REDIRECT_STATUS="200"
// To avoid force-cgi-redirect

ecazfe04:/home3/www# php -v
Content-type: text/html
X-Powered-By: PHP/4.3.1

No input file specified.
// Ok, we are in CGI mode and it looks for a file.

/home3/www# cd 
/home3/www# php index.php
Everithings gos OK, except that if exists php.ini in  PHP
uses it. That overrides default compilation option. You can see it if you
use phpinfo() in 'index.php'.

I think this shouldn´t be the correct way of reading php.ini, but maybe
I´m wrong. Can anybody help me? I run a webserver (Apache+PHP) that hosts
some virtualhosts and I don´t won´t that my customers could use an alternate
php.ini.

PS: Sorry, I´m Spanish and I don´t know if my explanation is clear
enough.

1) Redirect, using HTTP functionality:

   header('Location: '.$strURL, true); // Redirect browser
   exit(); // Make sure that code below does not get executed when we
redirect.

   This is used if user should get the response of the redirected

2) Use CURL, see PHP documentation of CURL.
   This can be used if user shouldn't get the response of the redirected

What window? Do you mean the one in the server room? ;-)
Simply echo javascript code that will do it. Remember: php runs on the 
server, if you want to do something within the browser without 
interacting with the server, use javascript.

Something bugged me about this code and comment when I very first read it,
but it's taken an overnight cogitate to work out what it was.  Dare I
venture that your previous code, which sometimes appeared to throw an error,
was simply:

  if (ini_set('magic_quotes_runtime','Off') == false)
  {
  echo "ERROR: Could not turn off magic_quotes_runtime\n";
  }

?

If so, there's a fundamental flaw here: as ini_set is defined to return the
previous value of the setting, or FALSE if it fails, a simple equality
comparison (==) to FALSE will succeed whenever the ini_set fails *or when
the previous value was 0 (off)*.  To echo your error only when ini_set()
genuinely returns FALSE, you must do an identity comparison (===).




It can *never* be good practice to make an equality (==) or non-equality
(!=) comparison with TRUE or FALSE.  Not only is this bad style, but it is
also inefficient.  Consider:

 if ($x==TRUE)

(where $x can be any arbitrary expression).  PHP must first retrieve the
value of $x, convert it to Boolean (giving TRUE or FALSE) and then compare
it to TRUE -- yielding TRUE if $x was, er, TRUE and FALSE if $x was, duh,
FALSE.  That's a whole extra unnecessary comparison, plus some obfuscation
for humans reading the code.  So just use:

if ($x)

Taking the converse:

if ($x==FALSE)

this isn't quite so clear-cut.  PHP will retrieve the Boolean value of $x
(TRUE or FALSE), then compare it to FALSE, yielding TRUE if $x was FALSE,
FALSE if it was TRUE.  It's not immediately clear, but this comparison will
usually be more expensive than just doing a Boolean not (!) on the
expression.  Stylistically, it's usually also clearer to read as

if (!$x)

-- IMO, it's better to have the clue that you're looking for the inverse
value at the front, and read it as "if not $x".  (Well, I suppose you could
also write "if (FALSE==$x)", but personally I think that's just as bad as
the other way round!)

Finally, if you never have an == or != comparison to TRUE or FALSE, the rare
occasion when you actually need to do an === or !== test will be very
obvious and will alert someone reading the code (yes, even yourself several
months later!) that something special is going on.



Cheers!

Mike

Use "isset" to test the variables... it is cleaner code. PHP will
complain if you do not. (Except of course if you silence it and turn
warnings of.) I have started to to to develop with
 error_reporting(E_ALL);
set. This way, PHP complains about every unclean bit in code, like
reading from unset variables. Makes you write cleaner/less bug-prone
code.

If ((!isset($_GET['sub_x'])) and (!isset($_GET['sub_y']))) {
// display form
} else {
// it was submitted
}

BTW, in my experience it is enough to check one of these values with
isset, even if this one is 0, it will be SET to 0. You wont catch a
click at the coordinates x=0/y=0 with your code (don't know if that is
even possible, will have to read the specs...)

They are signed by a trusted authority (micro$oft) that grants that they 
are secure to use and therefore can use features (file access) that 
would be otherwise forbiden (if the user chooses to trust it). The 
integrity of the component is also ensured.

Remember that your clients would have to install the java application on
their computer, because java applets (the one running from web) don't
have permission to access files on local computer. The same limitation
has javascript. I have heard about a signed ActiveX component that can
do this, I think it is that signed components are enabled (or must be
confirmed) by default in IE.

[PHP] Re: Database Question

[José Pereira]

Sorry I wasn't clear before.  It goes like this.

I have a Virtual Airline and I have a DB called pilots with these tables:

pilot_id, pilot_name, ivao, vatsim, status

Also have a report DB which contains these tables:

pilot_id, pilot_name, aircraft, flight_time, origin, destination,
originweather, destinationweather, etc., etc., (<--- this is per report)

I want to get all the information from these tables, for each pilot, since a
pilot has many reports there are many lines in the Report DB.

Now I need to create a page showing the all the current pilots that active
(stated in the status table of the PILOT DB), and next to that show their
TOTAL reports filed and TOTAL hours flown for the company.

The PILOT_ID must link to another page which will show all the reports in
detail for that pilot.

I down't know if this is possible or adviseable, but I have about 20 pilots
sending 2-3 report per day, you can imagine how confusing the REPORT section
is now, since it has all the report for all the pilots ordered by
pilot_idI have about 160 reports so far, and I'm going nuts

Thanks in advance.

This is a very general question. Yes it's possible, and yes you should
do some research on PHP - what it can do and how it does it.

Some links you might find useful:

The manual:

http://www.php.net/manual/en/

especially the session management functions, which allow you to
recognise individual users (among other things)

http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.session.php

Tutorials. Many, many tutorials

http://directory.google.com/Top/Computers/Programming/Languages/PHP/Tutorials/

And one specifically on session management

http://www.phpfreaks.com/tutorials/41/0.php

Once you know enough to ask more specific questions, I'm sure the people
here will be happy to help you. But what you just asked is something
akin to "my computer is broken. how do I fix it?"

Hiya

I need advice for an optimum solution to display the username that is 
logged in on every html form page of my application.

I have a header.php :

session_start();
echo "Logged in 
as: ".$_SESSION['curr_user']."";
?>

Now I have many html forms which user's see
What I want to know is how to include the header.php into every html 
form page.

One way is to rename the html file with extension .php
then

This seems a bit wasteful for one line of php to change all the forms to 
.php. Is there any other ways of embedding the header.php file in html 
forms.The reason I am so keen on keeping html and php files seperate is 
thus to make debugging easier and maintain a kinda three tier design.

Any suggestions will be much appreciated

You need to edit the php.ini file (or if this is hosted, have your host 
change the php.ini file).

The setting you want is : force-cgi-redirect

You need to change this to false (0) for it to work on IIS.

IIRC, it says something along those lines in the default 
php.ini-recommended that comes with the package.

I'm not on my php box or else would give you the exact line to change,

Your problem is not with PHP but with basic HTML.
Your  tag needs an action="www.somepage.com" in order to "do"

Clicking on those links does not help the situation, it only verifies to the

Ummm... no. That's not true. It may break certain programs that were

Use $_POST['UserName'] instead of just $UserName and do a search on
register_globals to find out why.

Name:




Your name is:

echo ($UserName);
?>
The action attribute is an excellent suggestion ( I do believe that if 
no action is given, the form defaults to the same file its being 
submitted from ).

Anyhow,

My guess is register_globals is off in your PHP setup.

Depending on your PHP version, replace your $UserName with :

PHP version < 4.1 = $HTTP_POST_VARS['UserName']
PHP version > 4.1 = $_POST['UserName']

Re: [PHP] is register globals off ready for prime time

Maybe it breaks _his_ code, but it is off by default since I believe 4.1.0,
and IMHO _should_ remain off at all times. Too easy to inject into your
code as to MHO.#

Either this guy is trying to deceive his own weak code, or he doesn't have
a clue of how PHP works. I'd reconsider hiring such a "developer".

[PHP] MySQL Insert with Auto-Increment

[Sysadmin]

Ok, here's what I have.  I want to insert some values into a table with 
an auto_increment field, but I want to get the Serial of the record I 
just inserted so I can name an image $Serial.jpg.  I could just select 
the serial of the last record entered but what happens (and I know it's 
unlikely but could happen) if someone else inserted another record a 
half a second after this one?  Anyone have any ideas?  Thanks!

Re: [PHP] Individual member pages

[Miles Thompson]

Relatively easy-ish. . But you'll have to study PHP a bit more.

This is a situation where sessions work really well - read up on them in 
the manual. Authenticate the user by means of a login page, which 
establishes the session. Then put something like the following at the top 
of each page.


session_register( "origin" );
$origin=$PHP_SELF;
if( $HTTP_SERVER_VARS[ "PHP_AUTH_USER" ] !="lancelot" && $HTTP_SERVER_VARS[ 
"PHP_AUTH_PW" ] !="grail" ) { if( !session_is_registered( "member_id" ) ) { 
header("Location: user_logon2.php\n"); } }

All the above was one long strinb in the source, at the very top of the 
page, ahead of EVERYTHING else. You can ignore the bit about "lancelot" and 
"grail", that was built-in so that htdig could index the pages. The key bit 
is this:

if( !session_is_registered( "member_id" )  // note the " ! " which negates 
the test

If the user is not authenticated, i.e. the member_id does not exist, the 
user is redirected to the user_logn2.php, otherwise the rerest of the page 
loads.

Why is this one line at the very top of each member page? Because the 
header() is function is called and there can be no output at all before 
that function.

How you authenticate is up to you, but there's a good start, if I remember 
correctly, at http://www.thickbook.com, or Devshed, Webmonkey, etc. There 
are a couple of good articles/tutorials on session at those sites as well.

RE: [PHP] BIT OT - preventing double submit

[Sysadmin]

What happens when the refresh?  How about this...when the form loads 
the first time it generates a unique_id, and when you submit the form 
it has to match that unique_id.  That would stop people from being able 
to refresh because once the unique_id is submitted, it won't accept any 
more submissions with that unique_id.  It makes sense to me, but this 
is my Friday ramblings

Re: [PHP] chill out

[Jason Sheets]

You aren't required to be subscribed to post to the list, so if you are 
not subscribed you will not see the FAQ or the discussion about how to 
post properly.

You could make it  be sent in the confirmation email when someone first 
posts to the email address but then you are making the mail bigger and 
deluding yourself into thinking they will read it :)

Mostly I see people get flamed when they ask a question (sometimes off 
topic) and them flame and otherwise insult the person that tried to help 
them, in which case I believe they deserve a thrashing :-).

I found this list to be an excellent resource when I first started in 
PHP and I still find it to be a good resource (though the mail traffic 
has increased significantly).

I empathize with people who are frustrated with users posting questions 
to the list such as how do I use n function, that could easily be 
answered by reading the manual, I emailed a person who sent multiple 
mails to the list with extremely simple questions and his response was 
"I know about the manual but it is easier and faster just to ask you guys"

Something to think about.

I suppose you could set it up so that only new subscribers got the

would get the FAQ, then - to activate them on the mailing list - 
they'd have to take a short web-based quiz on the contents of the FAQ

However, as others have said, the signal-to-noise ratio of this list

Nope. They're UNIX-created and UNIX-modified. Does it matter if I downloaded
them onto my PC and then back onto the server? I don't think it should,
since I did a global search-and-replace of all those suckers.

Yeah, I had this problem a little while ago, and it's back, but doesn't seem
to be solvable this time for some reason. Someone suggested that last time,
as well, and I haven't been able to get onto it (the server isn't under my
control right now, and I'm still trying to get a gd/imagemagick on there).

Someone suggested posting some example code so I can show what's going on.
I'm going to do that when I have a little more time.

$t = time();
For (i=0;$i<$howMany;$i++) {
 $str .= ''

written or read here is my code.

Also why can I not place these variables in line with the echo
statement. If I do it doesn't work.
I thought I could just echo "face=$_POST['type_sel'] " <- but it does
not work.

if ( $_POST['type_sel'] ) echo "face=" . $_POST['type_sel'] . " ";
if ( $_POST['size_sel'] ) echo "size=" . $_POST['size_sel'] . " ";

RE: [PHP] Cookies not being read - begging php 4 chapter 8 pg 283

[Paul Kraus]

Also when I first run this at the top I get this error...

Notice: Undefined index: typeset in
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\testing\cookies.php on line 4
Notice: Undefined index: size_sel in
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\testing\cookies.php on line 5

I assume its because the var have not been filled but I still need the
lines there do I need to turn of warnings or something?

Nope. They're UNIX-created and UNIX-modified. Does it matter if I downloaded
them onto my PC and then back onto the server? I don't think it should,
since I did a global search-and-replace of all those suckers.
Not 'Nope'.
It really does matter and it was one of the reasons I abandoned Perl, cuz 
that happened all the time. My files would look good and work on my pc and 
after upload they would not work and give a 500 server error. It had to do 
with the way the FTP programme send the file: as binary or as text file.
So the global search&replace was made undone when you uploaded as binary.

I quote from argentavis.hypermart.net/perl/dosunix.html:
" There is only a small difference between the two text format. For 
example, when you press Enter on a Unix type machine, a single newline 
character is printed to the file. In DOS, two characters are printed, a 
carriage return and a newline character. So when you make a Perl script in 
Notepad, and you upload it binary to a Unix type machine, this will 
immediately result in a compilation error. This compilation error will 
always return a 500 Internal Server Error. This is the reason why you 
should upload your scripts in ASCII format."

As long as both transfers were done BINARY or ASCII then it should be 
the same when you get the file back. Just a thought, how are you 
generating these files? If you are doing it from code then \r \n will 
give you carriage return and line feed. On *nix you just need \n (there 
is the odd exception like mail() which should use both).

Please read the manual at
http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php#language.types.string
.parsing for *why* this doesn't work, but short answer is:


  if ( $_POST['type_sel'] ) echo "face={$_POST['type_sel']}";
  if ( $_POST['size_sel'] ) echo "size={$_POST['size_sel']}";

Use isset():

Having looked at it, it seems to be along the lines of what I was thinking
of... I would be very grateful if you could post the code, since I do think
it will be very useful. The main difference I was thinking of was to have a
menu in the form of a page of links, rather than a drop-down menu, but
having seen that, I would much prefer the drop-down menu approach!!!
Thanks very much, Ben.
Sorry I didn't get to this in a while -- had to fix my filters :)

Anyhow, the functions that I used to create my drop down box :

function getSubDir($rootdirpath) {
if ($dir = @opendir($rootdirpath))
 {
   $array[] = $rootdirpath;
   while (($file = readdir($dir)) !== false)
   {
  if (is_dir($rootdirpath."/".$file)
  && $file != "." && $file != "..")
  {
  $array = array_merge($array,getSubDir($rootdirpath."/".$file));
}
   }
   closedir($dir);
 }
return $array;
}

function getFiles($dirname) {

 $handle=opendir($dirname);
 while ($file = readdir($handle))
 {
if($file=='.'||$file=='..')
continue;
else
$result_array[]=$file;
 }
 closedir($handle);
 return $result_array;
 }
The first function returns all the subdirs in a directory (given as 
$rootdirpath).

The second functions returns an array of all files in a directory.

Simply combine these two functions to get a listing of all files in 
subdirectories :

$subdirs = getSubDir("/path/to/main"); //no trailing /
array_shift($subdirs); //gets rid of the parent dir
$count = 0;
while (list(,$val) = each($subdirs)) {
$files[substr(strrchr($val,"/"),1,strlen(strrchr($val,"/")))] = 
getFiles($val);
$count += count(getFiles($val));
}

This while loop gets a list of all the files and counts the total number 
of files in the subdirs. The list of files is in an array called $files.

Now, to build the drop down :

 while(list($key,$val) = each($files)) {
echo "Section $key :\n";
while(list(,$name) = each ($val))
 {
echo " -=> ";
echo substr($name,0,strlen($name)-4);
echo "\n";
  }
 echo "\n"; // space
}
I hope this helps you out. Let me know if you can't understand anything :)

What I have done is to do the addslashes/stripslashes assuming 
magic_quotes_runtime is off then force it off within my code 
beforehand 
with:

   if (ini_get('magic_quotes_runtime') == 1)
   {
   if (ini_set('magic_quotes_runtime','Off') == false)
   {
   echo "ERROR: Could not turn off 
magic_quotes_runtime\n";
   }
   }

I found that ini_set would through an error if the seting was already 
made, hence the initial check. So far this seems OK, but it was only 
yesterday...

Something bugged me about this code and comment when I very first read it,
but it's taken an overnight cogitate to work out what it was.  Dare I
venture that your previous code, which sometimes appeared to throw an error,
was simply:
 if (ini_set('magic_quotes_runtime','Off') == false)
 {
 echo "ERROR: Could not turn off magic_quotes_runtime\n";
 }
?

If so, there's a fundamental flaw here: as ini_set is defined to return the
previous value of the setting, or FALSE if it fails, a simple equality
comparison (==) to FALSE will succeed whenever the ini_set fails *or when
the previous value was 0 (off)*.  To echo your error only when ini_set()
genuinely returns FALSE, you must do an identity comparison (===).
Yes, that was my previous code and you are right, its not right! I'll 
change it and thanks for letting me know.

Don't worry about it mate, I understand how p* off experienced coders

I have had a look at the phpinfo() file and it has come up with what it 
uses to highlight code so I might as well just use that!

How can I round the current time up or down to the nearest 1/2 hour?

eg:
timeranges:
0900 through 0915 == 0900
0916 through 0930 == 0930
0931 through 0945 == 0930

Constructors in PHP5 are unified.  This means you don't have to be aware
of your parent class name while coding (so, for example, if you change
what class you inherit, you don't have to dig to find where the parent
constructor was called.

> 
> i dont get this http://ny1.php.net/talks/show.php/php5intro/25

It misses something without my explanation. :)

PHP5 has native support for overloading access to properties and
methods.  Take the following:

overloads = array(
"name" => "Sterling",
"address" => "More Spam Mail",
"email" => "Even More Spam Mail"
);
}

function __get($name) {
return $this->overloads[$name];
}

function __set($name, $value) {
$this->overloads[$name] = $value;
}
}

$f = new foo;
// undefined, __get method will be called, and it will 
// return the appropriate entry from overloads
var_dump($f->address);  
?>

> wots the point of this ? http://ny1.php.net/talks/show.php/php5intro/28

Abstract allows you to define certain methods that *must* be implemented
in child classes.  It also makes sure you can't instantiate parent
classes (as they are incomplete).  Its really a good way of passing
interface contracts onto child classes.

Take the example in my presentation, and copy it into your editor.  Then
remove the paint() method, and the corresponding method call from the
child class.  Without abstract being specified, this would still work;
with abstract, watch what happens.

RE: [PHP] php5 writeup

[Dan Rossi]

yes thats what i was thinking itd a good idea , heh well php4 OO is
basically a container of functions which allows you to throw variables
around the place within it , i have most my privates within underscores so a
global string replace wont be so painful , i guess thats what the whole idea
of functions starting with underscores anyway ?

[ snip ]

Namespaces are provided to add an additional "scope" to a function. For
example (from C++) the cout and endl functions are in defined in the
namespace std. So, say you are writing a program in which you have your
own function called cout. To let the compiler know which cout you are
talking about, you can use std::cout (which itendifies the namespace
std). This lets the compiler know that at that point in the program, you
want to reference the cout function defined in the namespace std.

I always think of namespaces as another "container" for grouping
functions. I know this might make hard-core OOP programmers cringe, but
I have found that looking at it this way has avoided me confustion. Feel
free to correct as appropriate :)

Private and protected are access/scope modifiers in OOP that provide for
the encapsulation of objects. Generally, private members are only
accessable by members of their class, and protected members are
inherited by child classes. That's the q&d way of explaining it. Any
good OOP reference (like the java reference you mentioned) will give you
more information on the topic.

If you don't get the humor, I would point to your friendly art museum guide.

If you don't get the OOP ...

An abstract class is one that defines functions that other classes
inherit. Think of it as a "parts bin" class, from which you borrow bits
to plug into other classes.

I would suggest picking up a good OOP reference to find out more about
inheritence, scope, etc.

[PHP] php/mysql group by headache

[Michael Geier]

preface: have RTM on mysql GROUP BY

I have a mysql db with a number of entries...
   table|  id  | name  | info | version
1 x   foo1
2 x   foob   2
3 x   foobar 3

my sql is similar to 
  "select id,name,info from table GROUP BY name order by name,version  
   desc"

in an effort to only return one result of type (x), but get the most
recent info (foobar) and version (3), however this isn't the case. 
GROUP BY returns the first info and version it comes across.

Has anyone run across this issue, or know of a solution?  Thanks.

Not sure what this has to do with PHP, but...

I'm sure there's a better way to do this, but :

$time = {any range}

if (substr($time,2,1) > 3) {
$time = "0".substr($time,0,1)+1."00";
} else { $time = "0".substr($time,0,1)."00"; }

I haven't quite thought this through, but I think something like this:

$remainder = $ts % 60;

if( $remainder < 15 ) {
$ts = $ts - $remainder;
}else if( $remainder > 15 && $remainder < 30 ) {
$ts = $ts + (30 - $remainder);
}else if( $remainder > 30 && $remainder < 45 ) {
$ts = $ts - ($remainder - 30);
}else if( $remainder >= 45 ) {
$ts = $ts + (60 - $remainder);
}

something close to that I think...
