RE: [PHP] send a file or stream
I think the stations.zip is empty... Try this:
Between your scripting and the readfile() put a sleep(2); between so it waits 2
seconds before pushing the data.
And I also suggest:
while()
{
fwrite($da, $somevar1:$somevar2);
}
fclose($da);
Header()
(try sleep(2); here)
readfile();

I can download it, but when I see the file I downloaded has 0 bytes, and I
have readfile(stations.zip);

Or is it so that you actually is doing what you do below readfile()
without any argument? So that you are actually downloading something empty?

HI, This is very Off Topic, but I have no clue where to go to find out this information fast enough. I have a client that just changed their mind and want me to host their web services. However, they have their current hosting setup on a Windows NT server. Now the question comes: How the heck can I move the mail boxes from the Windows NT server to my Plesk Linux server?

[PHP] Crazy behavior...
Hi,
This is really odd. I use this code to retrive value from a database table.
When the field is empty, it cracks the HTML code some how, the PHP script
seam to not break.
function getInfo() {
$html = table;
$html.=
trthName/thtd.$this-getName()./td/tr;
$html.=
trthDescription/thtd.$this-getDesc()./td/tr;
$html.=
trthPriority/thtd.$this-getPriorityText()./td/tr;
$html.= /table;
return $html;
}
The function getDesc is like this (I have made it overly complicated because
I am trying to fix the problem):
function getDesc() {
$Query = sprintf(SELECT todotext FROM teamtodo WHERE id=%d
LIMIT 1, $this-getID());
$Result = mysql_query($Query);
if(mysql_num_rows($Result)0) {
if($Roww = mysql_fetch_array($Result)) {
if($Roww['todotext']!='') return
$Roww['todotext'];
else return '';
} else return '';
} else return '';
}
When the database field is not empty it works fine, but as soon as the field
todotext is empty the $html seam to break, but the value of $html until the
$this-getDesc() is still being returned by the function (can see half of
the table).
Is this a bug, or am I just stupid? If I just insert some blank spaces it
works, hrm.

Peter, When it arrives at the browser, via ajax, I am guessing that you then put it into the page view .innerHTML or some other method. I suspect your problem revolves around asking the browser to do stuff it should not really have to do. There are two issues I would like to highlight with the html. 1) You are mixing TH and TD on the same row. You should be using styles to set the different presentations of the elements. 2) You have placed a paragraph section between the table tag and the first tr tag. This is wrong. I suspect that the browser is managing to cope with this markup when presented as a static page but is unable to figure out how to update an existing page with it. If you fix the html to be standards compliant then the chances are all will be well.

[PHP] Is this unsecure?
Hi, I have bumped into a problem. I need to use a web service that is located on server B from server A. The server B will execute a script when the web service is accessed and an email is sent as an parameter. The problem is, if I only have the email as incoming parameter, anyone can just figure out the url for the web service, the name, and then just send the email to that address. To make this a little bit secure I setup so two parameters are sent, the email and a confirmation code. First I was just thinking to basically have a password sent with, and if that is correct just execute the script. However, due to server restrictions I can not run it on HTTPS, so that also looses value. So this is how I solved it: I send a parameter with the request that is the email, some extra characters and then MD5 on that. I do this on server A and then server B just checks if it is the same resulting string. If so, we know it comes from server A because that server is the only one that knows the extra characters used. $authstring = md5(asdf.$email.fdsa); Would this be hard to crack assuming that the one who cracks does not know the characters that are used to generate the $authstring? Maybe someone have experience with this? Or just a comment? Best regards, Peter Lauri www.lauri.se http://www.lauri.se/ - personal web site www.dwsasia.com http://www.dwsasia.com/ - company web site

This seems the easiest for me:
- Determine IP address of Server A.
- At Server B:
?php
if ($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] != SERVER_A_IP) {
die('Get lost, will you.');
}
rest of code ...
How's that? You could, of course, still add the md5 check, which sounds
pretty good.

My suggestion would be multiviews. If you're using Apache (I assume you are since mod_rewrite is an option), enable multiviews on the vhost and then create a file called a.php in the root of the site. Affiliates link to (as your example) /a/rosegarden. In a.php, grab $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], remove the /a/ from the start of it, what's left is the affiliate identifier.

Answers India Send FREE SMS to your friend's mobile from Yahoo! Messenger Version 8. Get it NOW There are several things you need to check for, and probably add to your emails that you're sending. Number one, add additional headers to make SPAM / Bulk filters realize the message is not SPAM or should not be considered SPAM. IE: $headers = From: Suresh Kumar \r\n. X-Mailer: PHP 4.3.2\r\n. X-Sender: $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']\r\n. X-Comment: If you can put a comment here, do it.\r\n; mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers); The above is considering you have already declared the $to, $subject, and $body variables. Also, make sure your $subject is not 'undisclosed-recipients;' or something like that - it's a big no-no and will definitely flag some SPAM filters. Put a valid e-mail address - but you can still use the BCC-headers and everything should go just fine. Alternatively, if your list is not too large, it looks better to run a for / while loop to send each recipient a message directly (ie: not using BCC) as that will cut down on the SPAM probability. Second, if you are making MIME emails, make sure you are doing so correctly. You can learn about creating multipart/alternative MIME emails more at www.php.net/mail. Finally, if none of the above works, it would be helpful for us to see the headers of the received message from one of your recipients where the message was put in the BULK folder. - -- Christopher Weldon, ZCE President CEO Cerberus Interactive, Inc.

[PHP] Affiliate system
Hi guys, I am reviewing an affiliate system that I created a while ago. I am using a very simple method to do this, but I am curious if there is any better system (better I mean less missed affiliate purchases). 1. User click on affiliate link http://thedomain.com/?a=1234 2. The if $_GET['a'] is set, we check if that is an valid affiliate, and then set a cookie for that 3. At purchase, we check if that cookie still is there, if so, we register it as a affiliate purchase and that info is stored in the purchase database What should I do if they do not allow cookies? I could amend a=1234 onto every url that they pass, but that would not be a beautiful solution. Maybe I can also create a SESSION that stores the affiliate information so that it at least get registered if the purchase is completed within the session? What do you think is the best way?

Hi group, I know I am a little bit stupid when it comes to actually figuring out how to use the preg_match and preg_replace. This is what I am facing: A string like this: This is some _color:pink_ colored text _color_ that I want to transfer Should convert to: This is some font color=pinkcolored text/font that I want to transfer Anyone who see a simple solution to this? Right now I have created an ugly script that do the same thing, but I want to start to learn and use preg_match.

RE: [PHP] preg_replace (again) [solved]
Hi,
Thanks for you comment. I already changed to span.
About sanitation: Do you know any open source where it checks code if it is
acceptable or not? Or should I just create a lib that do some preg_match to
see if any javascript tag is inside (assuming javascript should not be
allowed).
This is a private system, so I do not worry so much :)

Subject: [PHP] Seperate HTML from PHP
Hi there, following words are my ideas about that HTML PHP parting. I hope
you
can understand my broken english and do not take personally.
SEPERATING html FROM php ARE USELESS
For years, some php users try to show php to look like other programming
languages like C or JAVA. I believe they try to prove PHP can act like other
programming languages because most professionals from other disciplines
thinks that thing PHP was so easy to write to someting and because of this
that PHP thing can't be a professional tool.
To show professionalisim of php, people start to make programs using 3 tier
programming aproach. Then that MAGIC WORD seperating business layer from
presentation layer comes to php land...
After some time community sees templating engines, today you will see lots
of
them oh sorry TONS of them...
I'm sorry guys, I admire your efforts, REALLY.
Personally I spend more than 2 years to create some kind of OO library to
making forms easly. And after some time I realize, we cannot standardize
HTML/Javascirpt, every new project we have to challange to new interface
problems and because of this I have to redesign that templating library to
not broke code integritiy. Of course I may use that common library's to
solve
problems and of course later or sooner I find myself into a deep trouble.
That new project can't fit that lib.
And of course that was not only problem about templating engines.
They are slow, hell yes SLOW. (yea yea I know your uber template system
blazingly faster than more popular ones). You have to open tons of mini tpl
files, have to parse them, have to manage them.
So if that templating system generates this much of problem why we should
use
them ? Just Because of our uber HTML designer can't understand php ?.
I'm sorry, things are changing, nearly all new project are contains dynamic
parts. These visual designers have to learn some degree of php code.
And also I believe we have to change aproaching and usage of php language.
I see most people using php dynamic part of their html code. They using php
like
a href=somepage.php?a=?php echo $foo; ??php echo $bar; ?/a
And I suggest we can aproaching html marking language to part of php
presentation layer.
Like
?php
...
generate $head
generate $header
generate $left
generate $content
generate $right
generate $footer
...
include('theme.inc.php')
print $strOutput;
?
theme.inc.php
?php
$strOutput=!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN\
\http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd\;
html xmlns=\http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml\; lang=\en\
head
.$head.
/head
body
div id='mainDiv' class='cMainDiv'
div id='headDiv' class='cHeadDiv'
.$header.
/div
div id='contDiv' class='cContDiv'
table border='0' cellpadding='0'
cellspacing='1' width='100%'
tr
td id='contLeftTD'
class='cContLeftTD' valign='top'
.$left.
/td
td id='contCentTD'
class='cContCentTD' valign='top'
.$content.
/td
td id='contRightTD'
class='cContRightTD' valign='top'
.$right.
/td
/tr
/table
/div
div id='footDiv' class='cFootDiv'
.$footer.
/div
/div
/body
/html;
?
Also we can use php to generate some kind of html code to reduce our
workload,
I believe best aproach was, do not generate data and html code in same
function...
Seperating html generation and data generation best way to increase code
reuse.
For example
function makeSelects($arrData,$strRequest)
{
$intSize = sizeof($arrData);
for($intS=0;$intS$intSize;$intS++)
{
@$strReturn.=option value='.$arrData[$intS]['val'].';
if(@$strRequest == $arrData[$intS]['val']) { $strReturn.=
selected; }
$strReturn.= .$arrData[$intS]['tex']./option\n;
}
return $strReturn;
}
with this function we can generate select options.

[PHP] PHP Mailer and SMTP = SPAM?
Hi, I am developing a tell-a-friend application for one of my customers. We are going to have it all located on their server, and want to make sure we take the right decisions on the road so that we don't spam mark our server and don't end up in the SPAM inbox of the recipients. This is how I have prepared it all: 1. We have setup an email that do have an inbox and is REAL. We have an mailbox connected to it and can send and read emails from it via webmail and pop 2. We have an SMTP server that requires authentication 3. We are going to use PHP Mailer Using PHP Mailer and the SMTP sending function should make the emails look pretty real, am I right? On that we make sure that the HTML that we create is good, check that with http://spamcheck.sitesell.com http://spamcheck.sitesell.com/ or similar. Shouldn't I be pretty good to go? We are not talking about millions of emails per day here, maybe a few thousands. What are the risks of ending up being a spam marked ip?

So even that I send from thedomain.com SMTP server I should to set the FROM and REPLY TO to the person who is referring? Our main idea was to send the email from the author of the book as it comes from him, but that is maybe not a great idea? So I am in the middle of two suggestions: 1. Make sure that the email is in the domain that you are sending from 2. Make sure that the emails is from the referring persons email so it won't be marked as spam at their point. This is what I got from Rick. What are you thoughts on this? [snip] when you do a dns lookup (from a machine not on the same network) on the ipnumber of the sending mail server does it show a name? if you do a forward lookup on that name, does that resolve to the (same) ipnumber? the answer to the first part must be yes, and ideally the second will be yes. if the first is no, then don't bother sending from that machine until that issue has been dealt with. sending html substantially increases the probability that your messages will be tagged as spam. certain things will increase that probability. your point 2. is mostly irrelevant. an smtp server simply needs to be configured so it is not an open relay. that is generally the default configuration (of any MTA that's worth using), and is achievable without smtp auth.

Not really -- at least not in my limited experience. There are so many OTHER factors that the DNS resolution of the return address and the actual SMTP machine not matching up are probably not a deciding factor... I could be wrong on this -- I don't run SMTP servers, and *most* of my email is coming out from the same server, but I also have a contact them link, and it seems to work fine, and is most certainly not using return addresses whose DNS matches the sending server. So even that I send from thedomain.com SMTP server I should to set the FROM and REPLY TO to the person who is referring? Our main idea was to send the email from the author of the book as it comes from him, but that is maybe not a great idea? Send the email From: the person who actually typed it. Anything else is more likely to trip you up in some other way, I should think. So I am in the middle of two suggestions: 1. Make sure that the email is in the domain that you are sending from 2. Make sure that the emails is from the referring persons email so it won't be marked as spam at their point. In an ideal world, you have a limited number of authors, and you can configure YOUR SMTP server as a relay for them, thus meeting both conditions. rasmus AT dwsasia.com would a valid email, forwarding to a known valid email for Rasmus the PHP Pocket Guide author. So, you get the best of all worlds -- Custom emails on your site with the correct DNS resolution to match the sender, the author's name in the email address, even using the First Last [EMAIL PROTECTED] format. This satisfies all the conditions, at the minimal expense of setting up an email forward for each author/recipient. If I had easy access to control email setup, I'd do that on my site, but I don't, so I just send them out with the return address of whomever sent them. Course I also throttle it so it can only send 4 emails per day from one IP, and have a few other measures in place to limit spam abuse. NOTE: If the authors aren't typing the actual email, you do NOT want to be sending it from them without their prior explicit review and consent of the outgoing email. Authors in particular are very picky about what words you put in their mouth. :-) -- Some people have a gift link here. Know what I want?

readfile() will slurp the whole file into RAM, and then spit it out to

It's super-convenient and easy for small files.
It's not a Good Idea for large files.
fopen/fread/echo loop is your buddy.
I'll bet a dollar that your old setting had a different memory_limit
in php.ini -- or none at all, or it wasn't even compiled to allow
memory_limit -- something along those lines.
Actually, depending on the speed of the server, and its hard drives,
and the drive caches, etc, it's entirely possible that the server is
just taking TOO LONG to spit out that monster file. wget would
probably let you find out pretty quickly if it's RAM or speed that's
killing you. But it's kinda moot, really, as the solution either way
remains the same.

You got Content-type: right, but you know that filename thing is only

Actually, I think -Type should be -type and it might be

and I think all the browsers ignore case anyway, so it's kind of moot,
and I'm not THAT bored...

I don't think you can set it at run-time, at least it wouldn't make
sense to me... looking at PHP it has the following semantic:
PHP_INI_PERDIR
So you can't :) But the following might work without having to edit

this with preg_replace directly, what do you think? The final output is
always found in $thestr. Can all this be done with one preg_replace?
?php
echo pre;
$str = [hp-ex][log]peter[hall o];
preg_match_all(/\[(.+?)\]/, $str, $matches);
print_r($matches);
$m1 = $matches[0];
$m2 = $matches[1];

$m2[0] = b$m2[0]/b;
$thestr = implode( , $m2);
} elseif(count($m1)==1) {

RE: [PHP] calling a function in the same page
Hi,
Are you trying to use PHP as a client scripting language?
What you are doing cannot be done with plain PHP, you have to invoke
JavaScript or similar to make a HTTP request and then parse it.
Search Google for AJAX and you could get it working using that. Prototype
is a easy to use JS library that you can do AJAX requests with and then do
what you want with by DOM.

RE: [PHP] calling a function in the same page
This is what you could do. Separating them into a few files. Also read the
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ajax_%28programming%29 to learn some more about
AJAX.
You should also learn more about Server Side Scripting so you understand
what can be done with Server Side Scripting and Client Side Scripting.
index.php:
$query would contain the SQL (or is it some other query type) you want to
execute. This is far from any security as you come if this would be SQL, as
you would output the SQL and therefore give table names etc to anyone who
views the source of the HTML. This could in the future lead to SQL
injections etc if you don't protect your self against that as well.
You would also need to include the javascript.js in your head tag of the
HTML that you generate. Also you would need to download the Prototype
library and include them in head as well. See
http://wiki.script.aculo.us/scriptaculous/show/Prototype where you can
download the necessary files to do your AJAX calls. If you want to do it the
hard coded way you need to create an ActiveXObject object if the user have
IE or an XMLHttpRequest object if user don't have a IE compatiable browser.
I suggest that you stick with Prototype unless you need to create an really
high performance tool for this, and might need to hard code it your self.

You can not call PHP functions through a href which is used for linking web
pages.
You need to create a new file or use a switch in your current file for
search input,
with the function in it. So that you can link to that URL, not the function
itself.
You can use AJAX as well, to send commands to a php file and get the results
in xml/text,
but again you need to call Javascript there, your logic is totally wrong.

I have one image here 1280 x 960 (150 dpi) 24 depth

{
$system=explode(.,$name);

$old_x=imageSX($src_img);

imagejpeg($dst_img,$filename);
imagedestroy($dst_img);
imagedestroy($src_img);
}
Which I am of course calling with
createthumb($add,'../pics/'.$largeval,350,263);
Now ... afaik my new sizes are proportional to the big ones ... but it
pixelates :(
However,
Using an image 1600 x 1200 (96 dpi) 24 depth it works and there is no
pixilation
Can someone perhaps assist now?

Mark Weaver wrote:
Hi all,
I've been lurking and reading now for some time, but have decided to
come out of the shadows cause I've got an issue that's gonna drive me
crazy!
I'm developing an application and within this application is a class
that is very simple and only serves a singular purpose - to make log
entries to help with debugging. Problem is, now I'm debugging the damned
logging class that is supposed to be helping me debug the application as
I'm putting it together! sigh I've looked and looked all over the
place, but I don't seem to be able to find an answer to this problem.
The only information that I have found so far deals with permissions and
I don't think that's the problem. At first I was getting an access
denied error but since setting dir perms and log file perms so that both
apache and my user can right to both the directory and the file that one
has gone away.
Log Directory permissions: /mystuff/logs rwx-rwx-rwx (777)
Log file permissions: /mystuff/logs/run.log rwx-rwx-rwx
(777)
At any rate, the following is the information I'm getting in the apache
error_log while working on this particular portion of the application:
PHP Warning: fwrite(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource
in /mystuff/inc/Log.inc on line 22,
PHP Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource
in /mystuff/inc/Log.inc on line 23,
The Log class:
-
class Log{
public $path, $entry, $logfile;
public function Log(){}
public function setLog($path,$file){
$this-path = $path;
$this-logfile = $file;
}
public function writeLog($entry){
// open the file, in this case the log file
$h = $this-path/$this-logfile;
fopen($h, 'a+');
fwrite($h,$entry);
fclose($h);
}
}
Code snippet where attempting to write log entry from program:
$pl_log = new Log;
$pl_log-setLog($logpath,run.log);
$usernanme = $_POST['username'];
$password = $_POST['secret'];
/**
* (debugging) logging incoming values from form:
*/
$pl_log-writeLog(getDateTime(): Incoming values from Login Form:
blah...blah...blah\n);
Any help with this would be most appreciated. (be gentle... I'm a PERL
program learning PHP OOP)
As Stut pointed out, you've misunderstood the difference between a file resource
and a file name.
Try something like:
public function writeLog($entry)
{
// open the file, in this case the log file
$fileName = $this-path.'/'.$this-logfile;
$h = fopen($fileName, 'a+');
fwrite($h,$entry);
fclose($h);
}
The file resource that fwrite and fclose need is the *result* of opening the
file, not the file name as you were doing.
Ideally, you would check the value of $h after the fopen call, to make sure that
it had successfully opened the file.
Also, I changed the way you were constructing the file name: interpolating the
variables in a string is slightly less efficient than concatenating the bits
together, and there are possible gotchas when using the $this-variable
structure in a string like that.
An alternative syntax is to escape the variables with braces:
$fileName = {$this-path}/{$this-logfile};

Obviously (I think!), I need to be validating at the level of my class,
so does anyone have a pattern / strategy to help ease the pain... a way
of using the validation in the class to validate the script and return
meaningful errors to the user?? Throwing errors and forcing the script
to catch them perhaps?
I have tried a few validation classes etc and they have not really
addressed this issue. Perhaps I should just live with it and get on with
it! :)
Many thanks for your help, David
Well, you could try looking at using exceptions:
// CLASS
class foo
{
public function setBar($var)
{
if ( var_is_NOT_a_valid_value_for_bar )
{
throw new Exception('Invalid value for bar in class foo');
}
}
}
// = Script =
$var = $_POST['var'];
$foo = new foo();
try
{
$foo-setBar($var);
}
catch (Exception $e)
{
echo 'An error occurred: ',$e-getMessage(),\n;
}

' bar bar bar bar '.$foo.' '.$foo; is a bit faster again - the single quoted bits pass through without further inspection, and finally echo $foo,' bar bar bar bar ',$foo,' ',$foo; is actually the fastest, because the strings are not concatenated before output.

How much of a difference would it make if you have something like this:
echo $foo bar bar bar bar $foo $foo; verses: echo $foo . bar bar bar
bar . $foo $foo; ?In other words... You have a large application which
is most likely to be faster? :)
There was a discussion about this a few weeks ago - ISTR that the compiler does
wierd things with double-quoted strings, something like tokenising the words
and
checking each bit for lurking variables.
So in fact
echo $foo bar bar bar bar $foo $foo;
is slowest (because there *are* variables to interpolate,
echo $foo . bar bar bar bar .$foo. .$foo;
is a bit faster, but the double-quoted bits cause some slow-down,
echo $foo . ' bar bar bar bar '.$foo.' '.$foo;
is a bit faster again - the single quoted bits pass through without further
inspection, and finally
echo $foo,' bar bar bar bar ',$foo,' ',$foo;
is actually the fastest, because the strings are not concatenated before
output.
I think that was the overall summary - I can't locate the original post to
verify (or attribute) but it's in this list somewhere...

Can you prove these statements with real benchmarks that are current?
Ilia said that it is a myth that there is a performance difference
between and ' in one of his talks.
I found one recent post on the subject in gmane:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.php.general/169028
The poster's results are as I remembered, except that was building a string, not
echoing: possibly not quite the same.
So I tried it myself, adapting to using echo (to the ob to avaoid printing forty
million * foo bar bar ...). For an extra wheeze, I also tried ?=$foo? syntax
embedded in HTML to see if that is as bad as people make out. I didn't try
HEREDOC syntax, because it is difficult to reproduce exactly the same output -
newlines get added to the output.
To get thing to run I needed to increase time out, and reduce the string to
avoid filling the PHP memory limit I have set at the moment. Here is the code:
?php
ini_set('max_execution_time',300);
$foo = 'f';
ob_start();
$time[1] = microtime(TRUE);
for($x = 0; $x 1000; $x++){
echo $foo b b b b $foo $foo;
}
$time[2] = microtime(TRUE);
ob_end_clean();
ob_start();
$time[3] = microtime(TRUE);
for($x = 0; $x 1000; $x++){
echo $foo . ' b b b b '.$foo.' '.$foo;
}
$time[4] = microtime(TRUE);
ob_end_clean();
ob_start();
$time[5] = microtime(TRUE);
for($x = 0; $x 1000; $x++){
echo $foo . b b b b .$foo. .$foo;
}
$time[6] = microtime(TRUE);
ob_end_clean();
ob_start();

Since you've used double quotes, It Should Just Work(TM) ...
$body .=
table
tr
tdimg src=\$myimage1\/td
/tr
/table

I'd probably use single-quotes (') around the src attribute to avoid those ugly
backslashes ...
$body .=
table
tr
tdimg src='$myimage1'/td
/tr
/table
;
Might be better in this case to use heredoc syntax ...
$body .EndOfChunk
table

tdimg src=$myimage1/td

Hi Ryan,
Since I'm relatively new to PHP I could be off on this, but I'd say yes,
$_REQUEST is wrong. I would think you'd want to use $_POST to receive
the incoming values from a form.
That would depend on the method that the form is using: GET or POST.
I don't think that's the answer.
Two things I would suggest:
1. Check that the Javascript is doing what you expect: you *are* using Firebug
on Firefox, aren't you? Also the WebDeveloper toolbar plugin is useful - it has
a View Generated Source tool which will show you what Firefox thinks your page
actually looks like after the JS has run...
2. Check that the TD you are loading with content is actually inside the FORM
tags - otherwise the inputs won't be included in the request/post variables...
Cheers
Pete

Ryan,
First, you should reply to the list - that way more people could see the links
you posted and help out.
Right,
It looks like there may be a problem with the form tags - when I look at this
code I see
form action=process_ecard1.php method=post name=mainform/form
That looks like you've closed your mainform before defining the inputs
Don't know why IE works, but it's probably trying to be helpful... :)

Your original source code looks like it has a spurious tr after the first recipient block.

Anyway, I suspect what is happening is that Firefox is treating the /form as a closing tag for the spurious /tr and then implicitly closing the original form tag with an empty form.

Hi gang:
Sorry for the lame app, but the program worked for Safari (Mac and Win).
However, I did get it to work for FF and a couple of other browsers (Mac

http://webbytedd.com/quarters
But the critter is dead in the water for all versions of IE -- if -- I
don't figure out a way around the following single statement.
document.getElementById(id).checked = true;
Granted it's javascript, but all that line does is to set a checkbox
variable (id) to 'on'. Surely, $M code can do that, right?
After reading a bunch, it seems that M$ has a better way to do things
(big surprise there, huh?) and thus does not use the
document.getElementById(id) thing that everyone else in the world uses.
Instead, they use something better and it's not documented well as is
typical.
Unfortunately, I have not been able to find a M$ work-a-round.
So, what I need is:
if (document.getElementById)
{
document.getElementById(id).checked = true;
}
else
{
inset solution here.
}
All the code has to do is to set a simple checkbox to 'on' in IE.
Anyone have any ideas?
Cheers,

PS: I'm going to post this on a js list as well.
PPS: You have to wonder how much more technically advanced we would be
if we weren't always held back by the what's in it for me
shortsightedness of M$.
What you talkin' bout?
Document.getElementById() works fine in IE5 and later.
There must be some other error.
You could check that document.getElementById(id) is actually returning something
- if it fails it returns null.
Maybe you have given your checkbox a name and not an id, although that should
fail with FF (and Safari) too...
It's fine on IE7 - anything older than IE7 is too broken to be usable, really.

You probably need a deeper inspection than checking the extension - that's
Microsoft thinking...
You can't trust what the client is telling you - even the MIME type sent by the
browser is no guarantee.
Since you're on Linux, why not look at using the 'file' shell command to get a
more detailed inspection of the upload.
I made a basic function like this a few years ago - probably needs a bit of
tweaking:
?php
function getMimeType($file)
{
global $magicFile;
$mimecmd = /usr/bin/file -b -m .escapeshellargs($magicFile).
.escapeshellargs($file). 2 /dev/null;
$ret = exec($mimecmd);
if (!$ret)
{
$ret = unknown;
}
return $ret;
}
?
The global $magicFile is the tricky bit - you need to find a nice Unix magic
numbers file that returns mime types (they're easier to parse than regular magic
number responses). Probably something like /usr/share/misc/magic.mime, but that
depends on the system.

Rod [EMAIL PROTECTED] Firstly, if you have a form and you are sending it using GET, then why don't you use a input type='hidden' name='thread' value='yet another new thread' / element to send the parameter - that's what input tags are for. I have a feeling that the ?foo=bar bit is stripped off a GET request URL if there are other form elements, although it's not always stripped off a POST... maybe it's browser-dependent. Secondly, when you refresh the second form, you are making a POST request - that's what generated the form in the first place, so you would expect the message about POSTDATA - and (in Firefox at least), to view the source the browser repeats the page request, effectively the same as refreshing the page. If you want to see the source without repeating the POST request, you need to use something like the WebDeveloper tool bar - it has a View Generated Source function which extracts the source from the DOM model the browser used to render the page. -- Peter Ford phone: 01580 89 Developer fax: 01580 893399 Justcroft International Ltd., Staplehurst, Kent -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

I think you need to check the boundary conditions on your loop.
As you write it,
for($i = 1; $i = $number; $i++)
if $number is 4 then $i will have the values 1,2,3,4.
Perhaps message list is zero-based, and you actually need to count from zero:
for($i = 0; $i $number; $i++)
so you would get $i to read 0,1,2,3
The manual page doesn't explicitly say the the message number is one-based, and
most real programming languages these days use zero-based arrays...

What are you so afraid of? -Stut Your pet peeve seems to be a rather thinly veiled personal attack - I tried to be clear to tedd that my comment was not personal, but highlighted by his page. Javascript is a very powerful but rather blunt instrument, and I prefer to be judicious in my use of power. NoScript is not causing the error. The absence of UrchinTracker is causing the error. I choose not to allow UrchinTracker into my system. NoScript is certainly not doing a half-arsed job - it's working perfectly, unless you think I should suffer extra CPU cycles while the browser parses every line of Javascript to see what will happen before running it. That would be a job for a compiler, rather than a scripting engine. What I'm most afraid of are assumptions that something I didn't ask for exists in the environment I use to work in. If a page features a message that says we use Urchin Tracker to (...whatever it is that Urchin Tracker does...) and you may see errors if you block it, then I can understand. What I also am afraid of is that I don't know everything that I should be afraid of - using NoScript is a good way of giving me chance to research the stuff that is being pushed into my browser. Of course, in some cases I don't feel the need to research, and block unconditionally until I see a problem with that approach. A developer should not make assumptions about the existence of a feature in the target system - he should specify requirements and let the end-user decide if his product is acceptable, or check that a feature is present and work around it if not.

I noticed these scripts slow down with time, sometimes going to an almost complete stop (no mail sent for several minutes). The source code is trivial and can't contain a loop. I monitored the memory usage and couldn't find a memory leak. Using APD, most of the time is reported to be spent in the fgets() function (script waiting for a sendmail reply). But sendmail still replies swiftly when this problem occurs. By this, I guesss you mean that other connections to sendmail reply swiftly: so the server is not just jamming up completely and refusing requests ? It might depend on the exact implementation of 'sendmail': for example, the Courier mail system which I use replaces the program 'sendmail' with it's own binary to do the job. Courier also has a 'tar-pitting' feature which is triggered by behaviour that looks like a spammer is trying to relay stuff: it atificially slows the response to the send requests if there is an unreasonably high rate of requests coming from a given source. At least that's how I understand the feature to work. Other mail system may implement a similar feature - it might just be that your mailing script looks like a spam engine to the mail server. Restarting sendmail has no effect on these scripts. Restarting the scripts makes them run like hell for some hours, until the problem rises again. I'm using PHP 5.2.5 I don't know where to look next for the source of this problem... I think you need to provide some more detail - you could start by explaining what method you use to send the messages. The next thing to do is to look at the mail logs and see if there are any messages written around the time that yourt script runs.

[PHP] Choosing PHP or ? for building an automatic photo web.
Hi everyone I want to make my own web with my familie photos. At the same time I get a remote backup for our photos. I am new to web prgramming including HTML, but as an electronic engineer I have some fundamental understanding of programming. I use windows XP or Vista but that properly does not matter in web design? I have invested in a web service on surftown (only starter) for 5 years. So before I spend a lot time learning webprogramming, I would like some experience web programmers to tell me if my project is doable within a reasonable effort. I want 2 thinks that are a little uncommon: 1. User login protected by password (don't won't free access to all my photos). I have found some PHP code that does this and seems readable to me, so I guess this is trivial and on to the main problem. 2. I want the web source to automatic create a new tab or link or ?, when ever I upload a new set of photo's via FTP. I want the photos arranged in subfolders when I upload (preferreable two levels of subfolders). If I upload more photos in an existing folder with photos, they must appear automatickly. So the question is: is this doable for a newbie within a limited amount of hours? Is PHP the choice? Do I need to use mySQL for this? What features must the webhotel suport and do you know if Surftown does? Is there anywhere I get template source code for this, free or at a low price? best regards Peter Sørensen -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Looking at what I think you are trying to do, how about this?
?php
if ( isset( $_FILES ) ) {
foreach ( $_FILES AS $file )
$filename = $file['name'];
list($ext) = array_reverse(explode('.', $filename));
$allowed_ext = array('zip', 'pdf');
if ( in_array($ext, $allowed_ext) ) {
// Correct extension; do what ever
} else {
// Incorrect extension; do nothing
}
}
}
?
I am somewhat surprised that all code suggestions are rather complicated
in my opinion. What is wrong with 'pathinfo'?
if ( !isset( $_FILES['userfile']['name'] ) ) {
echo No file has been uploaded;
} else {
$allowed_extensions = array( zip, pdf, ai, html );
$file_info = pathinfo( $_FILES['userfile']['name'] );
if ( in_array( strtolower( $file_info['extension'] ),
$allowed_extensions ) ) {
echo File has a valid extension;
} else {
// do something else
}
}
// frank
Two points here:
Firstyl, as someone has already indicated, the file will be uploaded before the
PHP script runs, so the end user will have to wait for his junk to get through
the internet before (s)he is told it is junk. Is that what you want?
Secondly, using the file extension to determine file type is a very poor idea
and open to abuse. If you have the file (which you do, 'cos it's been uploaded
before your script runs) then you should do a bit more checking before accepting
it. The Unix/Linux file command can help here. Not perfect, but still...
You could also Virus-scan the file before accepting it. All depends on whether
your customer is prepared to wait while you clear his upload.

[PHP] odbc msaccess php5
Hi list, I am trying to get info out of a MS Access 2000 db. So far I have managed to do some of it but current part has me stumped. Set up Machine 1 - Debian 4, Apache, PHP5 unixodbc, mdbtools Machine 2 - WindowsXP, MS-Access Database is in a windows share that is smfs mounted on the linux box. $conn=odbc_connect(Database,,); works $a = abcd; (this value exists in db) $stat = Select * FROM . 'Table Name'; $qry = odbc_exec($conn,$stat); $res = odbc_result_all($qry) or die(Error: ); The above works as I expect it to.(Returns 70 rows) If I now want to add a where clause $stat = SELECT * FROM . 'Table Name' . Where . 'Column Name = . $a; (This works) Now the place I fall into the abyss. if I change WHERE clause in $stat to WHERE . 'Column Name' LIKE abc* (or other variations like abc% abc% abc* 'abc%' 'abc*') All I end up with is a blank page or Warning odbc_result_all No tuples available at this result index. Also I'm having trouble working out how to use a date in the WHERE clause. I've tried #yy-mm-dd# yy-mm-dd* dd/mm/yy etc etc (oh and yy/mm/dd 00:00:00 etc I realize this is probably more odbc/sql related but after a lot of goggling and reading I havent found the answer (about 5 days so far) And before everyone shouts use mySQL postgresql etc that isnt an option at this point in time. I dont need to update the records I just need to be able to read them with php. Oh and whilst I'm here is it possible to read an ms-query via odbc? (eg select * from myquery).

If I'm reading this correctly you mean if the value has been selected
before select it again?
If so way I did it was by checking the database value
eg
echo option value=\$key\
if ($row[id] == $key) {
print SELECTED; }

tedd wrote: Hi gang: Here's the logic problem. First the site: http://php1.net/b/zip-files/ Now, the site works well enough. The user selects what they want, clicks Submit, the order is assembled in zip file and presented to the user for downloading. However, as it stands now, before the script assembles the test.zip, it deletes (unlinks) the previous test.zip and therein lies the problem. If two, or more, users hit the site at the same time then a RACE condition may have one user getting something they didn't ask for or not getting anything at all. The complicated way I figure I could solve this would be to: 1. Generate a random string name for the file -- instead of test.zip, it could be ax12nhg34.zip. 2. Then when the user selects the download that would trigger a javascript routine that would send the name of the file to be deleted to a slave php script that would unlinks the file. I know this will work, but if the user never downloads the file, then the files accumulate on the server. Does anyone have a better idea? Thanks, tedd For bespoke downloads I create a directory somewhere named with the session ID, then build the download file there and only allow access throw a PHP script which knows the session ID. I guess it depends how commercial or sensitive the data is. Then I have a cron or something clean up the old directories. It would be nice to have some sort of trigger to indicate that the session has expired - anyone know if Apache can do such a thing?

The problem is that if you did chmod -R 777 /var, you changed every file /var and ALL of its subdirectories to have 777 permissions, and there's not an easy way
[PHP] Re: Corrupted ZIP files (downloaded via a php script) : Internext Explorer 7
robert mena wrote:
Hi,
I have a set of files stored in a directory and I need to serve those via a
php script (in order to protect, control access etc).
The problem is that zip files (exe also) get corrupted when I try from IE7.
I've read the posts from this list and google etc with no idea of how to
solve it.
The stored files are ok (tested from firefox or direct copy). When I use
IE7 the file size is smaller. In my test a config.zip with 248 bytes ends
up with 214 bytes.
This is the code used
header(Pragma: public);
header('Expires: '.gmdate('D, d M Y H:i:s').' GMT');
header(Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0);
header(Cache-Control: private,false);
header(Content-Type: .$type);
if($remove_date_from_file == false)
header('Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename='.basename($file).'');
else
{
$name_ = substr(basename($file),0,strrpos(basename($file),.));
$ext_ = substr(basename($file),strrpos(basename($file),.));
$new_name_ = substr($name_,0,strlen($name_)-15).$ext_;
header('Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename='.$new_name_.'');
}
header(Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary);
header('Content-Length: '.filesize($file));
while(!feof($fp))
{
echo fgets($fp) ;
}
fclose($fp);
I've added a debug to send me a message with the header and it comes the
same way no matter what browser.
Pragma: public
Expires: Wed, 16 Jul 2008 23:12:00 GMT
Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0
Cache-Control: private
Content-Type: application/zip
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=config.zip
Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary
Content-Length: 248
Am I doing something wrong or do I have to start looking to the server's
configuration (like mod_deflate)?
Instead of that looping through every byte, have you tried just using the
readfile() function?
In fact, in that code you posted I don't see you opening the file (where does
$fp come from?)
Also in your code, you don't flush the file before closing (fflush($fp)), which
might make a difference, especially since your result seems to be a few bytes short.
Oh, and make VERY sure that there is *nothing* output to the client before you
start pushing the ZIP file out - that definitely leads to corruption of such
things, although if you were sending data before changing the headers you would
get an error message about that.
What I can't understand is why is might work with one browser and not another...

I tried using \s for trailing spaces, but It all gave me output of

Have I missed something here?
You're just removing every space there is, letting none for values
separation.
Just replace every \s\s with \s until there's no more \s\s.
Probably some regex would be better, but that's not my area :)

Thanks in advance.

You probably need to use a regexp, so you can accomodate the different types of
white space:
?php
$string=1 0 70.208 61.613 1.424 3.689 61.404
0.000 0.000 0.000 0.000 0.000;
$data = preg_split('/\s+/',$string);
echo 1: . $data[0] . 2: . $data[1] . 3: . $data[2] . 4: .
$data[3] . 5: . $data[4]
?
Does that work for you?
