Re: [PHP] Best way to do this: www.domain.com?page=var

2006-01-16 Thread Ray Hauge
You could also check to see if $_GET['page'] contains a value, and if it does 
not, then redirect it.  Something like this:

if($_GET['page'] == ''){
header(Refresh: 0; URL=http://www.domain.com/start.php?page=home;);
}

Granted that isn't validating the $_GET['page'] variable input for security, 
but that should at least get you going.  Also, that assumes that all your 
pages use the GET query to specify which page they are on.  If that's just 
for the initial page, then you'd have to do some more qualification.

 On your web server you can configure 'default pages'.  Apache and *nix type
 servers seem to favor the index.html type default pages while Microsoft's
 IIS goes for the Default.htm just to be different.  But you can add
 default pages to a list in the order you want them accepted.

 For instance, if you use PHP a lot (which I think we all do :) but you have
 a lot of directories that just have static HTML in them, you might have:

 index.html
 index.php

 (or vice versa) as your default pages list.  If it doesn't find any of
 those in the directory being accessed, then you should get your good old
 404 error.


 Should just be a matter of adding start.php to your defaults list in
 whatever priority order you want.


 I think that'll do it for ya.   If you're going through an ISP, they still
 may have a way that you can set your defaults, possibly through .htaccess
 or some other Apache type prefs setting mechanism.

 Good luck!

 Hello,

 What would be the best way to get a page variable like this:

 www.domain.com?page=home

 to show up when a user types in:

 www.domain.com

 My current fix is to have this:

 header(Refresh: 0; URL=http://www.domain.com/start.php?page=home;);

 .. on a index.php page on the root..

 Is there a way I can do this and avoid having a page that just does
 redirection?

 Thanks for help.
 Cheers,
 Micky

Re: [PHP] Str to Int

2006-01-20 Thread Ray Hauge
You should be able to typecast the variable like so:

$cardID = (int)$cardID;

You can also check which type it is showing up as with the function gettype():

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

Optionally you could use settype() to change the type of the variable:

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

  One more point I would like to add here that if I write one small php

  I am using Fedora 2 and apache2, php-4.3x and mysql-3.x were part of
  the

  The only change I made in the /etc/php.ini file was to increase the

  The http.conf file is unchanged.
 
 
  Can any one give me some sort of idea.

 My first WILD GUESS is that way long time ago, you changed httpd.conf
 and/or php.ini, but forgot to re-start Apache, and then tested, and
 everything worked, so you went on.

 Now, when you HAVE re-started Apache, your fix from ages ago is
 finally kicking in, and you have no recollection of that change.

 If you have log files or notes of changes made previously, especially
 to httpd.conf, php.ini, or .htaccess, review them -- Keep in mind that
 what you are calling your original httpd.conf and php.ini file are,
 in fact, the ones you modified oh so long ago.

 Another tack you can take is to go ahead and save what the browser is
 sending you and look at it and see what it looks like.

 PHP Source?

 Or something else?

 Also use telnet or curl (from another box) or similar to get the
 headers and HTML that is coming out from the broken pages.

I ran into this a while ago.  My hosting company did some updates and messed 
up the httpd.conf file.   I eventually tracked it down to the php directives 
being a bit mangled.  Make sure that Apache is loading the PHP module, and 
that you are telling apache how to handle php files.

Since you have apache2, check the /etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf file to make sure 
that LoadModule, AddHandler, AddType, and DirectoryIndex are all in there.

If I'm reading this right, this sounds like more of a webserver issue.  If 
you're using Apache, then you could probably put in a Directory directive 
to lock it down to his IP (if he is static).  You could also put the 
user/pass authentication in there.

This behavior could happen if your team is using load-balancing on multiple

That's a remote possibility, but that actually happened to me on one of our

[PHP] Excell to CSV Date Calculations

2006-02-02 Thread Ray Hauge
Hello all,

I have a script that takes a CSV file in as data and does some updates to the 
DB accordingly.  Some of those values are dates.  When I save the spreadsheet 
in Open Office to a CSV file, the dates are saved as the internal date format 
of Open Office.  I need to figure out a way to convert that number into an 
actual date

I know that this might not necessarily be a PHP question, but I was hoping to 
be able to solve this problem with PHP.  I checked, and MS Excel is one day 
off from Open Office on the internal date values, which throws a huge wrench 
in my program, since not everyone has Excel here.

So, there are two possible solutions to my problem.  Find a way to make the 
date the text it is supposed to represent and save that in the CSV file, or 
use PHP to calculate the correct date.

On a side note, I did figure out a function to be able to handle this in the 
spreadsheet, but the users will ask questions even if I show them time and 
time again how to do it.

=CONCATENATE(MONTH(D2); /; DAY(D2); /; YEAR(D2))

Just trying to find an easier solution :)

Okay, I finally found the answer to my question after some more searching:

date(d.m.Y - H:i:s,(($value - 25569)*86400)-7200);

This is for Excel, but is off a day if you are using Open Office.  I think 
that will just have to be documented and people limited to one program, 
unless anyone can think of a way to distinguish one CSV file from another.

[PHP] Session Locking Up

2006-02-17 Thread Ray Hauge
Hello List,

I'm having an intermittent problem where the session locks up for some of my 
users.  When the session locks up, the browser just sits there waiting for a 
response from the server.  It seems to be random, which makes it very 
difficult to debug.  It also seems to happen system wide, and not just on a 
particular page (a home-made CRM).  The server is running Apache 2.x and PHP 
4.4.X on RHEL on a quad-processor server with 8 GB RAM.  We do an hourly 
backup that does cause some delays, but the session lockups do not 
necessarily happen around that time.   

Could this be caused by the session garbage collection (we use the default PHP 
sessions), and if it is, what would/could be done to better the situation?

It looks like you need some semi-colons after assigning values to variables at 
the top of your file.

If that's not the problem, let us know what line number this is happening on.  
It makes it a lot easier to spot the problem ;)

Hi,

I have a site, http://rayh.co.uk which is basically my personal home page
and nothing more than a hobby.

However, on the site, i am currently storing images in the database, purely
because i can.  But i wonder, how much will the server load be affected when
pulling binary data out of the database?  compared to the file system?  i
assume its going to be quite a lot higher.  DO you reckon it would be better
to scrap that and store the images on the file system?

If you are getting a number from a user via a form you can use
javascript to verify that the user inputed a number...

search google - validating forms  that should give you some info.

You could also verify that the data is a number by is_numeric or
is_int...

I think that when the data is POSTed that it will be a string so you can
use is_numberic to verify if it is...

Re: [PHP] Looping Addition

2002-12-04 Thread Ray Hunter
What type is $_POST['vars']?  I think that it is a string...you might
have to convert it to an integer...

if( is_numeric( $_POST['vars'] ) )
{
$vars = (int)$_POST['vars'];
}
else
{
echo Error: \$_POST['vars'] is not an integer.;
}

 Anyway, I mentioned before my form with the addition that loops to the
 number of numbers the user wants to add. Now to the part of the actual
 addition, how could I loop that out also?
 
 Here's what I'm trying to do right now but naturally, it doesn't work:
 
  $output = 0;
  $current = 1;
  do
  {
   $output .= $num.$current +
   $current++;
  } while($current =  $_POST['vars']);

Re: [PHP] Fractions

2002-12-09 Thread Ray Hunter
Just like math...find the greatest common denominator of the numerator
and denominator and then divide each (numerator and denominator) by that
number...

ie: numerator = 8 and denominator = 12

so we have 8/12

then greatest common denominator is 4...

so 8/4 = 2 and 12/4 = 3

thus, 8/12 = 2/3

Re: [PHP] XML Data push

2002-12-10 Thread Ray Hunter
Why do you want to push it to another file...why not do all the
processing in one php file that calls many functions then passes that
data back to the user.

if you still want to pass data then you can do this...

controller.php push xml data to a table that has id and xml
fields...then redirect the user to process_news.php with the id like
process_news.php?id=123

then in process_news.php you use the id to pull the xml data out of the
database.

However, this is still going to eat up resources on the server...

Another alternative that i have been looking into for this is like so:

have php file create, process and save xml filethen you can use
cocoon to allow the user to view the xml file...
(check phpbuilder on this one)...

 No, sorry if I wasn't clear.  The processing page is a PHP script on the back 
 end as well.  The XML data being pushed to it would include specification as
 to what action(s) the processing page would take.  A crude example would be
 something like the following.
 
 User clicks on a link for Current News.  The URL for which is:
 www.domain.com/controller.php?request=CurrentNews
 
 controller.php would then push the following XML to process_news.php
 
 (yes, I know it's not well formed.  just trying to show a quick example)
 newsitem
   actiondisplay/action
   range_start-7 days/range_start
   range_end0 days/range_end
   topicCurrent/topic
 /newsitem
 
 process_news.php would take that information, process it and spit out the
 relevant data to the user.
 
 Another possibility would be when an administrator wants to add a new News
 item.  The form script would push something like the following to 
 process_news.php:
 
 newsitem
   actioninsert/action
   headlineExtra!/headline
   newsbodyNewsBody/newsbody
   publishdateToday/publishdate
 /newsitem
 
 and it would take that information, process it and add the new record to the
 DB.
 
 That's basically what I'm trying to do.

You could use an include statement in one of two ways. 1) you can just
include the page that you want to show, however the url doesn't change it
will still be select.php 2) if you want to sent them to yellow.php or

for 0 seconds to move them to the seperate pages.

If you are only doing an insert then you do not need the transactions

 Talk to the other admin.  If you're using RPMs, you just need to
 install the
 php_mysql RPM, restart apache, and you should be up and running again.
 
 If you're compiling PHP from scratch, you'll have to do so again with
 --with-mysql in the configure command.  But, as this is the default
 when
 compiling PHP from scratch, my hunch is the first option is what you
 really
 need.

you would put that in the $mailheaders variable. Something like

$mailheaders = From: Joe Bloe [EMAIL PROTECTED]\r\n;
$mailheaders .= Cc: Some Dude [EMAIL PROTECTED]\r\n;
$mailheaders .= Bcc: Some Other Guy [EMAIL PROTECTED]\r\n;


That should work for you. Just do this for whatever other headers you want
to add to the mail

Re: [PHP] cms design xml-php ?

2003-07-25 Thread Ray Hunter

 Is there any php book that discusses general design issues for cms's and
 webservices in php?

I have not seen one dedicated to general design issues for cms' as web
services in php.  However, there are many great books on general design
issues. Relating to various languages that can be done also in php.
Those might be worth a look at.

 Also, what is your take on xml? Is it worthwhile waiting for v5 to be
 released before buying a xml-php book?

There are some books that deal with xml + php that are fairly decent.
However, I personally find that it is easier to separate the 2. For
example, I have a great xml book and the php manual. The one thing that
i notice is that when you combine the 2 then you end up missing
somethings out of both.

Yes it matters tons with the javascript call.

Here is some info on it...however, these questions are now javascript

1. make sure you pass in a valid page to your function.
2. make sure that you have a form that you are accessing.
3. make sure that when you access the form you are accessing the correct
frame page.

Example: when you set up the frames use the name attribute to assign
names to the frames...

so if you have a frame named frame1...then you can do this...

frame1.document.forms[0].action.value = where;
frame1.document.forms[0].submit;

I might be off on this a little but that should get you started in the

Re: [PHP] The return of mysql_fetch_assoc()

2003-07-29 Thread Ray Hunter

 $fooVar = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)[barColumn];

No bug here...mysql_fetch_assoc($result) is a function that takes a
result set as an argument and returns only one row as an associated
array...that is why you need to do 

 $record = mysql_fetch_assoc($result);
 $fooVar = $record[barColumn];

That is logic when it comes from the database...database results are
returned as rows with various column(s).

This allows you to go through each row and pull out all the columns for
that row.

Re: [PHP] xml and php

2003-07-31 Thread Ray Hunter
Make sure that you have all the dlls that are needed for php+dom. these
dlls need to be in your windows path as well.

Uncomment the dll in your php.ini file and restart the webserver. View a
php page with phpinfo() as the only function in that page:

?php
phpinfo();
?

See if you have dom in there. If not then follow the above steps again.
If you dont have the dll then you will need to download the zip file
from php.net.

Now that you have dom you can load in xml files as dom objects and
manipulate the object with the dom functions.

When you uncomment out the include_path in the php.ini file i believe

After you set a new include_path in php.ini do you restart apache and

I usually set up my arrays and then access them later using the GLOBALS

Re: [PHP] functions/methods and what they should return

2003-08-20 Thread Ray Hunter

 Each product that is in the database can have at least one attribute to
 it (i.e. color, size, etc.). Right now I've got a method in my Products
 class called ShowAttributes($id). This method, based on the ID passed to
 it, will query the db and ultimately return a string that makes up the
 drop down box for a form.
 
 Am I better off doing this sort of thing in a function or having the
 function only return the records I need and let the calling page handle
 the display of the records?

I usually allow the function get only what i need, thus making it as
simple as i possibly can. If you are using it as a drop down function
for a form then i would get the data form a generic source and populate
it with that information (i.e. i use arrays that hold data for forms,
and query the database to find out which item in the dropdown should be
selected. 

So in short:
1. Have a function return only what you need (meaning that it should be
in the right format for you.)
2. Have the display page handle all the dropdown logic.

That is a good way...you have the functions only doing what they need to
do. Thus splitting up some of the logic and presentation. In the
GetAttributes function you could do any filtering...but mainly you dont
want to do any presentation because u can now reuse that function other

Re: [PHP] user-defined superglobals?

2003-08-23 Thread Ray Hunter
you can define your own superglobals by defining the vars first then
accessing them thru the $GLOBALS var.

example:

?php
// file1.php
$var1 = test1\n;
$var2 = test2\n;
?

?php
// file2.php
include( 'file1.php' );

function test() {
  echo $GLOBALS['var1'];
  echo $GLOBALS['var2'];
  echo Test\n
}

test();

?

That should get you started with globals.

2. Questions regarding the server that you will be deploying on.
   If you are deploying to apache or iis they should be familiar.

3. MySQL questions. (setup, maintenance, sql, optimization)
   There are many ways to do this and they should give you some answer.

4. Also questions regarding development platform.
   Do they know how to work on the platform. I dont know how man
   people i have seen that develop on windows and deploy to linux and
   have no idea how to debug on linux.

5. Questions regarding development practices. 
   - Coding standards
   - Design procedures and policies they have used.
   - Source code control: Cvs, Visual Source safe, etc.
   - Development life cycle.

6. What other techniologies do they know. Can these be utilized.

Re: [PHP] Installing PHP with MySQL RPM version

2003-09-09 Thread Ray Hunter
mark,

from what i understand of the configuration script it will go out and
look in various locations for the mysql libraries. If you want to
specify something then I would suggest using the --with-mysql-sock and
pass the socket file. I like to use the socket file and have always had
great success with it even for mysql 4.0

Re: [PHP] PHP Editor - which to use?

2003-09-22 Thread Ray Hunter

 PHP eclipse is also nice, you need eclipse from http://www.eclipse.org
 and then you install the PHP Eclipse module 
 http://phpeclipse.sourceforge.net.  Very easy to install, I am a big fan 
 of Komodo, I also like Vim, Kate and Eclipse.  I tried Zend Studio 1 and 
 2 but it didn't live up to the expectations that I had for the price.

Eclipse offers tons of additional plugins and if you like java you can
surely write your own php plugins too.

There are many great db plugins that i use too.

Why are you trying to call a php script with exec...since it is php why
not just call it directly instead of creating a process outside of the
php you are in and then creating a php cgi to do the processing. It is
easier to call parse the file with the php process that you are

Re: [PHP] TAR Error - 'Invalid block size'

2003-09-23 Thread Ray Hunter

 I use the TAR.php file for extract tar.gz file. The tar file extracted
 fine, but the tar class raises the 'Invalid block size 351'. Why? And
 how can I discard this error.

Basically, tar writes in block sizes of 512 bytes so you are receiving
an invalid block size smaller than 512 which has a size of 351. Not sure
how you can suppress these messages via TAR.php. However, if you get a
new tar files that has the blocking correct you will not receive that
error.

You might be able to use the -B option to tar to suppress the block size

of the results that you will see. But possibly an option.

example:

tar -xvfB file.tar

Actually, I think that you can just run the command without the xvfb-run
command...

$test = exec(/usr/bin/njplot -psonly testfile );

that should just create the testfile.ps file and not fire up a x-window.
The error with the xvfb-run is that the command cannot find the xauth
command that it needs to set up the x server environment. Try the above
one and see if that works for you...if not then install xauth and revert
to running it in xvfb-run.

[PHP] apache mod_php memory leak, need help.

2003-06-23 Thread Ray Aspeitia
Hello,

I hope someone can help me or point me in a good direction.

I have a database driven website, all ODBC to postgresql, that little 
by little eats up resources on apache.

The child processes will start off at 30Mb of virtual memory and run 
up around 230Mb each child. (see below ps output) before they start 
dying.

It does not even take 700 accesses per child to max out memory.

I then start getting funny errors like access denied to file or could 
not open socket, or file not found.

I read all to documentation and as far as I know, php should release 
any defined query resources once the script executes.

I already code with odbc_close($conn); on all my pages. It is not 
feasible to use odbc_free_result() on every query, due to the 
complexity of scripts, but the documentation for odbc_free_result 
says you shouldn't have to.

That is the only thing that I can think of that could be draining 
this much resources. Is there any good way to find out what is eating 
up the memory. Anyone else run into this.

I'm running apache 1.3.27 with php 4.3.2 (happened in version 4.3.1 
also) on mac OSX SERVER 10.2.4

Thanks in advance,

Ray A.

Plus there are many great software design mags for php and other

Thanks Andrei,

On Sat, 2003-06-28 at 18:28, Andrei Zmievski wrote:
 Some news on PCRE front:
 
 1. I've upgraded the bundled PCRE library to version 4.3 which has some
interesting new features. 
 
 2. I added new parameter to preg_match* functions that can be used to
specify the starting offset of the subject string to start matching
from. The offset can be positive or negative, like for substr().
 
 3. Also implemented support for named subpatterns (introduced with PCRE
4.3). This means you can do something like:
 
?
preg_match('!(\d+)(?Pahh\.\d+)?!', 'ab 55.5 bb', $match);
var_dump($match);
?
 
With the result being:
 
 array(4) {
   [0]=
   string(4) 55.5
   [1]=
   string(2) 55
   [ahh]=
   string(2) .5
   [2]=
   string(2) .5
 }
 
Note that the named subpattern is also available under a positional
numeric key, as before. What this means for backwards compatibility
is that you should not do count($match) anymore to obtain the number
of captured subpatterns or number of matches. For latter, use the
return value of preg_match* functions, and for former, you should
already know how many subpatterns you have from your regexp.
 
 4. You can use \Q..\E to ignore regexp metacharacters in the pattern.
For example:
 
 !\w+\Q.$.\E$!
 
 Will match one or more word characters, followed by literals .$. and
 anchored at the end of the string.
 
 5. You can use possesive quantifiers, similar to Java's regexps. These
are:
 
 ?+, *+, ++, and {,}+
 
See PCRE docs or Java docs for more information.
 
 6. There is now support for recursive calls to individual subpatterns.
That is, instead of using (?R) you can use (?1), (?2) and so on. Or
use named subpatterns: (?Pfoo) will refer recursively to named
subpattern 'foo'. Once again see PCRE docs for more info.
 
 7. There is a new feature by the name of callouts, but there is not
interface to it yet. Basically, it allows user to receive control at
a specified matching point in the pattern and inspect, continue, or
interrupt the matching. I'm not sure how useful this would be for PHP
users as the information provided is fairly low-level. See
'pcrecallout' PCRE man page for more info. If there are enough
interested people, I will add support for it.
 
 That's about it for now.

 Hello,
 
 The folowing code gives an error:
 
 print ?xml version=\1.0\?;
 
 This is probably because I print a questionmark? How can I avoid that an
 error is generated?
 
 Besides it's not an error in the way that it gives an errorstring but it
 writes the output in the error_log of apache...

RE: [PHP] Java Applet to PHP Communication

2003-07-02 Thread Ray Hunter
you want to use either dom or saxon to parse the xml within java. So
your applet can call some class that loads, parses and then does
something with the xml.

Usually you want to use a sax parser for the speed, however you can use
a dom parser to manipulate the dom tree...

 Hello,
 
 I need to be able to communicate from a Java Applet to a PHP program on the
 server to enable Live Connect for data. This is what I intend to do:
 
 In my web application, a Java Script program will call a Java Applet which
 then calls the PHP program on the server. The PHP program works like a
 servlet and passes the result back to the Java applet which passes the
 information back to the JavaScript program.
 
 How can a Java applet work with a PHP program? Are there any special
 precautions / programming issues involved?
 
 Thanks in advance
 
 With Regards,
 Sharat
 
 Not anything that you wouldn't have to pay attention to in passing stuff 
 between applications in other instances.
 
 I'd use XML/SOAP to pass around the data.  There are many reasons to do 
 this, I wont list them here just because there are plenty of articles on 
 the web advocating the use of XML.  The added bonus is the buzzword factor.

 Does anyone know of any built in functions or options for the US states?
Nope no built in function for this...

 I want to make a drop down menu and some other things which have the 50
 states in it.  Is there any shortcut for this with PHP, or do I need to
 do it all manually in HTML?  Please let me know.  Thanks.
You can create your own function to build this for you.

I have always put the 50 states in a database and used that for all my
html and output requirements. You can google state abbreviations and use
that in a database or file.

 Hi everyone,
 
 I tried to connect to Active Directory (AD) by using php. I heard that it
 could use LDAP to achieve it.  I have written some code on my machine
 (Win2000) and try to connect to AD.  It looks like the it could connect,
 bind, and even search (I determined base on the line I placed).  However, it
 return 0 entries.  If I used the same filter and use utilites lpd.exe on
 Windows 2000 Server (the AD machine).  I could return some entries. I am
 hestitating whether do I made some mistake on my program, or something other
 than my code.  Does anyone know what the problem is?  Any comment are

Try using the a shutdown function:

and put all your logic that needs to run after the exit function.

 In this code:

 exit;

 I create a PDF page, however I would like to continue within the
 script (not have the exit).  If I do that, the PDF page is corrupted
 by the script code.
 
 What is the best solution for this?

Re: [PHP] PHP+MySQL on Apache running on WinXP

2003-07-07 Thread Ray Hunter
If i am not mistaken your phpinfo is picking up the bundled mysql
package that comes with php.

You should still be able to connect to mysql. However, if you downloaded
the zip file instead of the installer then you should have a
php_mysql.dll file that you can put in your path that php should pick up
that might be different. 

I am not 100% up-to-date on the dlls that are available in the php zip
file.

Re: [PHP] New to PHP

here is what you can do:

1. buy a php book and go throw the basics.
2. read the php manual because it has tons of information.
3. write any type of program that you can to get familiar w/ language.
4. get a fundamental understanding of programming, object oriented
programming

Just my $0.02 for ya
