Re: [PHP] $_FILES doesn't work but $_POST works
Thanks for your replies.
1. Did you put the enctype=multipart/form-data into the FORM tag?
Ans: I do not have a form! I'm using a gateway utility to upload files
From documentation of Mbuni MMS gateway:
post-url
Response content is obtained as result of sending a HTTP POST request to the
provided URL. The POST message is *always* encoding (such as that used by a
web browser when an HTML form has the submitted using the
multipart/form-dataenctype=multipart/form-data parameter set). If
http-post-parameters field is given (see below), then the relevant
parameters are sent as part of the request. *X-Mbuni* headers are sent as
well.
http-post-parameters
Used in conjunction with post-url. Parameters are provided in the same way
as would be provided in an HTTP GET request (e.g. *
message=truemyname=testimage=%i*).
2. Have you tried simply saving $_POST['userfile'] to a file?
$save = $_POST['userfile'];
$f=fopen($out,'a');
copy($save, $out);
Nothing is copied. Opened file is empty.
Pls suggest

Re: [PHP] corrupt pdfs
A quick google search tells you that LONGBLOB can contain string with a maximum length of 4294967295 characters, which translates into 4gb+/- Maybe a MEDIUMBLOB (16777215 characters) would already do the trick, no?

[PHP] Parse string with variables
Hi there, I am trying to parse a plain text which contains variables. The string looks like this: P=1 U=test T=ok P=2 U=test2 T=anything How could I create arrays out of this. To be able to access the values like this: echo $P[1]; parse_str does not work here and I could not find another function which does this.

OR, you could try :
1st split the text by newline into array.
Then split every element of the resulting array by '=' and
then you have all you need to create the variables, i guess :)
simple example :
$text_arr = explode(\n,$text);
foreach($text AS $val){
$temp_arr=explode(=,$val);
$$temp_arr[0][] = $temp_arr[1]; // not sure if this line is correct...
}

Re: [PHP] Addtime is for 4.1, what can i use for 3.23? (pretty much 0T)
Hey, Might be quicker for you to ask on a mysql mailing list :) Yep, am waiting for the confirmation email... I tried a couple of different things looking at the mysql page (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/4.1/en/date-and-time-functions.html) but couldn't come up with a proper solution. Yep, then tried some weird stuff and it worked :-) INSERT INTO test2 VALUES (Curtime(), DATE_ADD(Now(), INTERVAL '5' minute)); Maybe this will help someone else out. Thanks for trying though. Cheers!

[PHP] is there a faster file command?
Hi there, I am reading a remote plain text file from another server via the file command: $str = file (http:/x); This is a feed so there is no other way then reading it remote. Now this reading takes up between 0.5 and 1.0 s which is far to slow. The whole other process on the site takes only 0.1 s and I would like to keep it inside this area of 0.1 - 0.2 s Is there a faster way to read a remote txt file than with file() ? If not, is there a way in php to process this in the background and continue to display the page without the results of the file?

Enter AJAX... Set a side a place on your page for the results, and on page load issue an AJAX request to a backend process to get your contents from the file, and when it is done, your page can display at that point in time. Fairly common usage for AJAX, so there should be some good tutorials out there which google will help you find. -brad Thank you in advance, Merlin -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

It will use memory mapping techniques if supported by your OS to enhance performance. The loading speed may be also affected by the time your server needs to access the remote server. If the information is not updated really fast, you may create a cronjob to run every N minutes, and fetch that file on your server, than make your site access the local version of the file, that will effectively remove the network lag... -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] [PHP5] safe_mode_exec_dir
Hi Folks, Should be a nice easy one - if running PHP5, how do I add more than one exec_dir into the list? i.e. what is the separator? Cheers Nunners
Re: [PHP] is there a faster file command?
As I believe someone else said, file_get_contents() is the perfered way. Bare in mind however that reading off a network will probably be slow compared to other operations. This of course depends on the speed of your network, and the complexity of the other operations.

[PHP] Session variables and words with spaces
Hi,
I have a form in which a drop down field is populated from a MySQL database.
I am also using sessions.
The problem is this. After I submit the form the session variable only shows
the part of the input before the space.
Example: if I choose Niagra Falls from the drop down list, then I only see
Niagra when I display it.
I'm not sure though if it is the session or the forms variable that is
causing the problem. I haven't been able to find much on this.
See code below
Thanks
session_start( );
..Open database and connect to server...
Include(connect.inc);
!! Start of form !!
select name=province
option selected-- Select Province --/option
?
$query = select pid, location from province order by location; $results =
mysql_query($query) or $mysqlerror = mysql_error(); if ($mysqlerror) {
$dberror = Messed Up;
include(index.php);
exit;
}
while ($line = mysql_fetch_array($results)) {
if($line['pid'] == 1) {

PHP is a server side scripting language, so the information would not be
sent to the browser( aka client) until the server side script has
completed its execution.

Hi,

The problem is this. After I submit the form the session variable only

I'm not sure though if it is the session or the forms variable that is

option value=Niagara FallsNiagara Falls/option
replace with
option value=Niagara FallsNiagara Falls/option (note the quotes)
because you will post only Niagara instead Niagara Falls

RE: [PHP] Session variables and words with spaces
Not sure why I would get a parse error, but that did correct the problem. I just completely missed the single quote. I never even clue'd in when I looked at the source of the page. Sometimes another pair of eyes does the trick. Maybe it's time for a break. Thanks I'm surprised you're not getting a parse error... echo Option Value=' . $line['location'] .

[PHP] Am I supposed to be using SPL?
I was about to write code to recursively list the contents of a
directory when I remembered seeing an object in SPL that would do it for me:
http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.recursivedirectoryiterator-next.php
But there is no documentation on this object, and although I have it in
PHP 5.1.4, docs say it's might be only in CVS. So, I try using it and
get this:
?php
$dir = new RecursiveDirectoryIterator(/some/dir/path);
while($dir-valid()) {
print $dir-current().\n;
$dir-next();
}
?
But it doesn't seem to recurse through the directories. In fact, this
acts just like DirectoryIterator. So, there must be a flag to make it
recurse, but documentation is not there. I see this documentation here:
http://www.php.net/~helly/php/ext/spl/
But that just looks like the source code was parsed to generate it,
nothing much help in seeing an example of the usage.
Is SPL meant to be used? If so, is it experimental? Is it documented?
Should I stay away from SPL for production code? What's the official word?

PHP is a server side scripting language, so the information would not be
sent to the browser( aka client) until the server side script has
completed its execution.
-Brad
That is incorrect. There is nothing stopping a PHP script from doing
exactly what he says, and being a server-side script doesn't imply that
the data will be buffered.
I suggest that both of you examine the contents of
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.flush.php for more information on
obstacles to getting data to the client as it is generated.
As an unrelated note, there is no point in using print for some things
and echo for others. For your uses, you might as well just use echo
for everything.

yes it's meant to be used, yes you can use it in production BUT your
a little on the bleeding edge (not very many people using it full on) AND
the whole of SPL is still a little in flex (as is php5-php6 in general) so
that you may be forced, occasionally, to adapt your code to changes (e.g.
constants that were formally used in SPL are now class constants.)
and please note this is not the official word but jmho.

Wow, this is some magical stuff. Here is my function in case it's of use:
//--
/**
* Magical SPL code to recursively list files in a directory
*/
public static function get_paths_recursive($start_path) {
$paths = array();
$rdi = new RecursiveDirectoryIterator($start_path);
foreach (new RecursiveIteratorIterator($rdi) as $path) {
array_push($paths, (string) $path);
}
return $paths;
}
//--
This iterates over objects like arrays, casts objects as strings, and
iterates
iterators. All sorts of fun and joy enough to make your head spin.
Seems to
work, though ;-)
Thanks for the wiki doc link, Jochem.

ob_flush() only makes sense if you have ob_start() somewhere, or if
output_buffering is enabled in php.ini
flush(); and sleep(1); are all you should need...
At least from PHP standpoint.
But there are many other players outside the control of PHP...
Apache could be buffering output.
TCP could be buffering output.
Your browser will NOT render some parts of some elements until the
tags are all closed -- If you are inside a TABLE, for instance, expect
not to see things happening in real-time.

This is just plain incorrect. While buffering within various pieces of software MAY alter the timing, data IS output from PHP as it runs, not only after execution is completed. If you pump ENOUGH data out, and then sleep(10) and then pump ENOUGH more data out, you WILL see the data in parallel with script execution. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] is there a faster file command?
On Wed, May 31, 2006 9:19 am, Merlin wrote: I am reading a remote plain text file from another server via the file command: $str = file (http:/x); This is a feed so there is no other way then reading it remote. Now this reading takes up between 0.5 and 1.0 s which is far to slow. The whole other process on the site takes only 0.1 s and I would like to keep it inside this area of 0.1 - 0.2 s What, exactly, are you measuring on that other side? Think carefully about this. Because odds are really good that you ONLY measure the time for some process to spit out the data. Yet, there is a great deal more time being spent on the other side For example, if this other side has PHP and Apache, and you ONLY measure the PHP start/end times, you're ignoring any Apache overhead. How fast/slow is, say, wget from the local server? That's probably a much more accurate measure to compare your PHP performance with. Is there a faster way to read a remote txt file than with file() ? Since file() has to read each line and build up an array, it might be slower than http://file_get_contents If not, is there a way in php to process this in the background and continue to display the page without the results of the file? You can use asynchronous streams/sockets to get the process started at the beginning of your script, do other stuff, and then get the results at the end of your script. You could also use something browser-side like XmlHttpRequest or full-blown AJAX to have the browser download the feed later -- Though even a iframe could do that, much simpler, most likely. I would not be too hasty jumping into the iframe/ajax/client-side solution, personally, as it tends to open up cans of worms. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
