Re: [PHP] How to re-code?
You have started a new thread by taking an existing posting and replying to it while you changed the subject. That is bad, because it breaks threading. Whenever you reply to a message, your mail client generates a References: header that tells all recipients which posting(s) your posting refers to. A mail client uses this information to build a threaded view (tree view) of the postings. With your posting style you successfully torpedoed this useful feature; your posting shows up within an existing thread it has nothing to do with. Always do a fresh post when you want to start a new thread. To achieve this, click on New message instead of Reply within your mail client, and enter the list address as the recipient. You can save the list address in your address book for convenience. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] How does work shorten url services?
Hello, I know that some web sites offer a service to shorten long url. It is very useful when your site is hosted by your Internet provider for example, and that you have a long url. Or when you want to send it in an e-mail. tinyurl.com does that for example. The principle is that you enter your long url in their form and it gives you a shorten url like tinyurl.com/h4599 I was wondering how it works. I think it must use PHP. I see two possibilities. First is that the site creates an html page with a redirect header, like META HTTP-EQUIV=REFRESH CONTENT=0;URL=... But then it would mean that the site needs to host thousands of web pages for all its users. The second choice is to create a simple database with two fields. The first is the long url and the second is the shorten. So, when someone try tinyurl.com/h4599 it sends it to the real site. But is it possible for a web site to capture all the possible urls that it has created then compare it to its database? Because it has not created a webpage h4599.html for example, then the site should show a 404 page. Thanks for your help. Vous manquez despace pour stocker vos mails ? Yahoo!

Re: [PHP] How does work shorten url services?
I don't think those sites use mod_rewrite because an URl can be anything, including: http://www.oijoij.com/eorier/eoroeir/oier/eorij.pl?terer=wer4334oijo=werooj=123# (or much more complicated urls). Those sites (because there are more) just put the urls in a database, and assign an ID to each one. Then, a program (that can be made in any language) queries the database for the given ID, and get the long URL. Then it redirects to that URL and that's all. I have made such a program in perl but it is very very simple.

What I meant is that I don't see anything saying that the firewall is on. When I go to whereever it is that the firewall is configured, it is off. The only reason I am confused is because there are events in the security log complaining about use of some ports and I don't understand that. The messages seem to be produced in spite of the Windows firewall being off. I did explicitly turn off the Windows firewall soon after installing ZoneAlarm over two years ago and again after SP2 was installed.

Re: [PHP] Dissappearing instance variables; Bug or Feature?
In PHP4 $this-one = $one; assigns a *copy* of $one to $this-one. You
need to use $this-one = $one;
The code will work as expected in PHP5 (and zend.ze1_compatibility_mode
set to off).

This is a scaled down example of something I'm doing in some code. The

This only happens if you assign the reference passed to the second
class as an instance variable. If you call the reference directly, the
variable persists. ie:
?php
Class One {
function One() {
$this-test = array();
$two = new Two( $this );
print_r( $this );
}
function set( $index, $value ) {
$this-test[$index] = $value;
}
}
Class Two {
var $one = null;
function Two( $one ) {
$one-set( 'foo', 1 );
}
}
$obj = new One;
?
OUTPUT:
one Object
(
[test] = Array
(
[foo] = 1
)
)
Any Ideas?

[PHP] filtering out text in a string
Hi there, I want to filter out ip adresses out of a given text string. They are inside a logfile and values are seperated by tabs. I tryed sub_str which works fine if you know the length of the characters. In case of the ip adress this is not the case, since they are sometimes shorter than others. Has anybody an idea how to filter the ip adress out? Maybe magically with any regex or somehow with tab recognicion. This is an example of parts of the text 20:03:20[MSG] 192.168.0.129 bla bla I am stuck here, maybe someone has a good idea or knows how to do that.

A dumb regex like this:
(\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3})
ought to be sufficient. It does not check for the validity of the address but
it probably shouldn't matter too much assuming the program providing the logs
can be relied upon.

[PHP] sleep() and Max Execution Time
I just recently learned the power of flushing to the browser and have been playing around with it and have found a few useful actions of it. However, one annoying thing is keeping me down: the max execution time. I know I can change the default setting in the ini but I might need to span this script on another server where I may not have the power to do that. Whenever I go into a loop, and then go sleep(1) or so, after about 30 executions the script will just stop running. Is there any way to get around this or to increase the time or something?

[PHP] math in PHP
Hi! I have been trying to make some sort of calculator in PHP, but I have stumbled on a problem... I have been make some kind of dynamical calculator, unlike most I have seen, that had $value1 [math operator] $value2 strict, but a calculator, that can calculate basically anything ( even something like (5*(8-3)+2*(4-1))^3 ), and can be put in as string variable... I have tried things like this: $var = 1+1+1+1; echo $var + 0; //returns 1 or $var = 1+1+1+1; echo eval(\$var;); //returns blank or $var = 1+1+1+1; echo (int) $var; //returns 1 things like that...

[PHP] List Etiquette
Hi, After googling 'Web Etiquette, Top Posting', I still am puzzled why some people on this list insist that top posting is bad form, rather than personal preference. The arguments seem to be balanced on either side. Checking the list's archives, I noticed that those who object to top posting almost invariably top-post their objection (perhaps for added emphasis, who knows). Further, after searching the list's archives on the subject, I noted that the archives are organized by latest response = oldest (the original message); that is, the archives, in effect 'top-post' all threads: latest first (on top of the list) and the oldest (at the bottom of the list). Seems to me much easier to scan the Subject, see how it's developing by reading the reply on the top, rather than have to wade through even snipped old material. I've been on this list, on-and-off, for a few years, and somehow I must have missed the discussion on the unwritten rule of bottom-posting. Perhaps someone could enlighten me with a url?

I don't think these two things are mutually exclusive. Yes, there is a difference between fact and opinion, but if you assume that every opinion is not worth abiding by, you would do many things the wrong way. :-) The arguments seem to be balanced on either side. I don't think popularity is a good basis of comparison. If this were your method of comparison, I bet you would conclude that Microsoft Windows is the most secure operating system. However, if you only listen to the world's top security professionals, I bet you would come to the conclusion that something like OpenBSD is the most secure operating system. You just have to learn who to listen to. Further, after searching the list's archives on the subject, I noted that the archives are organized by latest response = oldest Yes, and this should make it abundantly clear that most archives expect the reader to be able to discern the context from any email message, and this is the key point. For example, if this email that I am writing is the first (or only) message that someone reads in this thread, the context is still very clear. The relevant parts of your email to which I am replying are included, and I reply after them. The discussion is preserved, and the reader doesn't have to constantly scroll back and forth to discern the flow of conversation. I've been on this list, on-and-off, for a few years, and somehow I must have missed the discussion on the unwritten rule of bottom-posting. Perhaps someone could enlighten me with a url? Your searches should have yielded plenty of resources to read. This is obviously not a rule; it's simply a best practice. On other mailing lists, poor email formatting is probably not noticed as often, but this list has a large proportion of programmers, and programmers tend to be very specific about details. In fact, I bet a lot of people on this list could debate what is the best length for a line in an email, what is the best format for attribution, and things like that. But, for those who care, including only the relevant bits of the message to which you are replying and replying in the order that the conversation is taking place are practices that are rarely disputed. Hope that helps.

Re: [PHP] List Etiquette
*RUH ROH* Better watch out, top posting is an extremely unpopular discussion. Some members of the list will attempt to lambaste you and tell you that because the rules are written, then they must be the final word. Feel free to post however you please, while the dogs might bark loudly, they are at a safe distance. You'll notice that many, many people top post. Some people top post, some bottom post, and almost everyone at some point interlace posts. Don't forget that at one time people thought the world was flat because people said it was so, of course we know better now, but change usually comes at the price of old customs, and some old dogs hate new tricks.

I'll say no more on this thread, I just like to ensure the pro-top-posters get heard along with the pro-bottom-posters. I strongly believe all of this IS indeed personal preference. I've even seen a message where you (Jason) have top posted and it wasn't about top posting :) The only times when I consciously top post (on a fairly) consistent basis is when pointing out someone has hijacked a thread. Otherwise if you had a link handy I would love see where/when I made such a stupid mistake. -- Jason Wong - Gremlins Associates - www.gremlins.biz Open Source Software Systems Integrators * Web Design Hosting * Internet Intranet Applications Development * -- Search the list archives before you post http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general -- /* A real diplomat is one who can cut his neighbor's throat without having his neighbour notice it. -- Trygve Lie */ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Browser caching problem.
I'm using this code to dynamically retrieve windows media files and send it to the browser. I thought the cache header would prevent the file from being cached. The only problems is the .wmv file still ends up in my IE temp files folder. How can I prevent this from happening? ?php require_once(../admin/constant.php); header(Content-Type: video/x-ms-wmv); header(Last-Modified: . gmdate(D, d M Y H:i:s) . GMT); header(Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT); header(Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate); header(Cache-Control: post-check=0, pre-check=0, false); header(Pragma: no-cache); $file = DATAURL . /media/ . $_GET['mediafile']; ?

Re: [PHP] List Etiquette
OK, Jason. I'm throughly confused. You say: Top posting means one cannot reply point by point like I'm doing here. then you state: Wouldn't you agree that it's easier to read something point by point whereby you can easily see the context, instead of reading a sentence at the top of the post then scrolling down to find out what that sentence was about in the context of the original post? I suppose each to their own. I'm glad that this list is not as trigger-happy as some I've been on. I still don't see what all the fuss is about . . . but then again, I'm slow. . . .

[PHP] PHP and extern link
Hello, I want to write a script which does the following: You enter http://www.test.com/test.php?number=123456 and the script shows the site https://www.domain.com/direct_access.do?usert=testpassword=testnumber=123456 It's important that the password is not shown to everyone.

[PHP] How can I re-code?
I had an $array, with a list of authors and an entry number. Below is the code I used.
Now I
have compiled it all into a table. I don't know how to re-code these lines:
foreach (array_count_values ($authors) as $author=$count)
foreach ($author_list[$author] as $ausid)
---new code---
$myconnection = mysql_connect($server,$user,$pass);
mysql_select_db($db,$myconnection);
$news = mysql_query(select ccl_id,AUS from $table ORDER by AUS);
while ($mydata = mysql_fetch_object($news))
{
?? foreach (array_count_values ($authors) as $author=$count)
{
?? foreach ($author_list[$author] as $ausid)
{
}
}
}
-- My old code -
foreach (array_count_values ($authors) as $author=$count)
{
echo tr;
echo th$author/th;
echo th.$count. records found/trouvés)/th;
echo/tr\n;
echo tr bgcolor=\#F5F5F5\tdnbsp;/td;
echo td align=\left\;
$temp = ;
foreach ($author_list[$author] as $ausid)
{
$temp .= $ausid, ;
}
$temp = substr($temp, 0, -2);#delete ,
echo $temp/td;
echo /tr\n;
}

[PHP] Infinate looping
Hello, I recently posted on the whole sleep() issue with max execution time thing but now I'm past that and actually concerned about webserver ability. Here's what I'm doing in a nutshell: Loop infinitely, checking for changes to a database, flushing the data, sleep, and repeat the loop. It all goes well and I'm getting it to work correctly. However, I'm not sure on the impact on my webserver. I've been running tests, monitoring my server's CPU and memory usage and there is very little difference between before, during, and after I run the infinite loop. However, what has me concerned is that I can't go to any other page on my web server while the loop is in progress. For example, if my loop is running, and I try opening phpMyAdmin for instance, it'll just sit and wait to load and never actually do anything. I pretty much know it's the infinite loop's issue since it only happens when I'm running it. Is this a bad thing such that I can't work around it or is it some sort of configuration issue in my Apache or PHP config? I would test it on my publication server but I don't want to annoy my fellow shared server people if this does indeed cause issues. Any help here would be appreciated...

[PHP] Associative Array Benchmarking
Although I'm not certain how well known this is, I thought I'd share this with everyone who might have wondered if there was a benefit to using or not using quotes when referencing associative arrays. While benchmarking a few different array sorting options, I had used in_array and search_array. I noticed that one was more than 30% faster than the other. On further investigation I realized I had used quotes one one and not the other. Benchmark results: Function assocArrayWithQuotes() ran 50 times in 4.4331 seconds. Function assocArrayWithoutQuotes() ran 50 times in 6.4170 seconds. The only difference in the two functions is the use of quotes, one with and the other without. Flame at will.

Re: [PHP] List Etiquette
Most mail programs have their default settings set for top posting ... while most news clients are set for bottom posting which way is the most preferable depends on what's most useful for your reply ... but those that enjoy mixing top and bottom posting are the daft ones ... once a thread goes into top posting, it's easier to simply continue that way ... otherwise it gets utterly confusing But some kinds of replies, especially to long windy posts, are better made at the bottom or inline ... or a mix especially lists like this one where it's alot of programming code, are usually easier to read when bottom/inline posted while regular commentary lists benefit more from the top posting ... There's advantages and disadvantages to both principles, and some people prefer one over the other ... but it's really depending on the actual content and nature of the discussion whether the one is preferable to each other... In either method, learn to trim, and everyone will be much happier nomatter how you reply ... any properly configured signature will be removed automatically by a properly written client program ... but the rest of the crud you really need to peel out with manual labour ...

The main point is don't make people read stuff that is irrelevant, they don't like that. Greg -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
