[PHP] Text report templates a la Perl

[PHP] MySQL session handler.
Greetings, I've been scouring Google, trying to find a working MySQL handler for the PHP session data. Many places point to the PEAR one out on sourceforge, but the last time it was worked on was 2001, and the notes state the author was waiting for testing to make sure it worked properly. Are there any other good session handlers floating around, or should I just buckle down and write my own? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Approach the problem logically: 1) You have a series of files that you want people to download. 2) You want to track which files are downloaded. 3) You don't want people accessing the files directly. So, a file called download.php. Accepts a parameter - the file name to make available. Logs an entry of IP and file (and whatever else) to a file / database / whatever. Makes the file available to the user - but the path is hidden / created on the fly so that a particular file cannot be pulled without going through the script.

IIRC, heredocs print everything contained within literally, unless a
variable. using {} around the function might work, but I really doubt it.

In perl I'd do something like:
$time =~ m/(\d){4}(\d){2}(\d){2}(\d){2}(\d){2}(\d){2}/;
$ntime = "$1-$2-$3 $4:$5:$6";
I think php can do that with preg_match, using an array to hold the matches.

[PHP] sprintf and arrays.
I have a snippet of code that looks something like:
if (is_array($p_sub_values)) {
foreach ($p_sub_values as $i => $v) {
$p_sub_values_str[$i] = "'$v'";
}
$s = join(',', $p_sub_values_str);
$r = htmlentities(sprintf($tmp[0], $s, ENT_QUOTES);
}
$tmp[0] in this case contains a string like 'Fred likes %1$s on his %2$s',
taking advantage of positional substitution with sprintf.
The function call to this snippet can have an optional array passed. My
need/desire is to substitute each element of the array into the appropriate
position with sprintf. So far I've tried:
$r = htmlentities(sprintf($tmp[0], $s, ENT_QUOTES);
$r = htmlentities(sprintf($tmp[0], ${$s}, ENT_QUOTES);
and a few other bits and pieces, all to no avail (error is about not enough
arguments).
Is there any way to accomplish this in PHP, or do I need to roll my own
substitution code? The array can obviously be anything from a single value
to 'unlimited' (though in practice will probably be less than 5).

IE dropped support (or severely neutered it) for username:password in URLs a while back. One way to handle this is to write a wrapper script that accepts the file name as a parameter. The script verifies that the user is allowed to access the file, and sends back the file with appropriate content type etc. Files can then be stored outside of the document root, preventing access even if you guess the file name. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Any http://lists.evolt.org/archive/Week-of-Mon-20011224/064591.html has some sample code to do with forcing IE to download a file where it can't determine the mime type properly. This forms the core of being able to feed a file to a browser when a .php file is called. The rough flow of the code would be: 1) Check that the user is authenticated. Kick them out if they aren't. 2) (Optional) Check that the user is allowed to access the file being requested. This might be a MySQL DB lookup, a secret word request, whatever. 3) Check that the file exists. Even better, rather than feed a file name, store a mapping of a unique ID to real file name in a data source of some type, and throw the ID around. You can enforce the format of the ID etc to avoid attacks against your system. 4) If all is good, use the code linked above (in some form) to feed the file to the browser. The user will get a Save dialog box in pretty much any browser. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

My whole aim is to pass an array of n entries, unroll the array into a string and somehow interpolate the string into the sprintf call so that life is groovy. I realise $s looks like a single variable to PHP at that point sprintf() is called, and this is what I'm trying to work around - some way to get sprintf to realise that $s is actually two strings. Ie, I need a double level of interpolation on the $s value so that sprintf($tmp[0], $s) turns into sprintf(tmp[0], $array[0], $array[1]).

Woot!
$begin_string = 'htmlentities(sprintf($tmp[0],';
foreach ($p_sub_values as $k => $v) {
$mid_string[] = "\$p_sub_values[$k]";
}
$mid_string = join(',', $mid_string);

Are the group delimiters different from the field delimiters?
Ie, can you do:
$array_of_groups = explode('group_delim', $in_string);
foreach ($array_of_groups as $i) {
$array_of_fields = explode('field_delim', $i);
$date = date('m/j/y g:i:a', $array_of_fields[0]);
print "$date {$a_o_f[1]}{$a_o_f[2]}\n";
}
YMMV of course.

When the user subs, generate a token in a DB table. Send the token to the user via email with a URL to click. Use mime/alternative if you want to send html and plain text so their client can choose the rendering method. If you get the click where the token matches (and perhaps first name or similar), they've confirmed their desire to subscribe. Do what you need to do with the confirmation and remove the token from the table. Record a history of IP etc to show that they DID indeed confirm their sub.

Your query can then look like SELECT * FROM table WHERE user=$q_user AND pass=$q_pass q_user and q_pass are derived from form input which is passed to quotesmart().

Re: [PHP] Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_create_db()

If you're using the packaged version for your OS (of PHP), check that you installed the php-mysql package (your package manager should let you search for it). If you're using a self-compiled PHP, sounds like you didn't compile in MySQL(i) support. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Why should a remote server have control over what a local client can display? The closest you can come is to hide the entire location bar by using javascript to open a new window with no location bar, but that'll fail on any client that has JS disabled, or has rules set to override JS messing around with the browser (like my browsers are configured to do). Alternately, you can use frames, but that's a whole other can of worms. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

This is on mod_php... any workaround for that? Referrer is a function of the browser. If it chooses to not give it to you, you don't get it. Proxomitron, at one point, shipped with a setting that gave the browser as SpaceBison, and the referrer as the URL being visited. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
