What you are looking for is a "stacktrace", ie the stack of called
functions. Dunno if php has any support for it, but it is normally
used when debugging and error/exception handling.

I used the XML parser in a credit card authorisation front end i wrote. Both
the info to and from the credit card server was in XML and i used PHP to
both build and parse the XML.
I dont mind writing a tutorial on what I did, it works well but not sure how
proficient it was in using XML.

hmmm, i spent now a lot of time searching for such a function (discovering
many many to me unknown but interesting functions :) - but it seems that
there is no such function.
And yes: I wanted to use it for debugging stuff. I have a lot of recursive
functions and callback functions and it's sometimes incredibly hard to
determine when exactly an error happened because I don't know the how
maniest instance of a function actually is running and from where it got
called. I have made some workarounds, but they are all unsatisfying compared
to the possibilities a stacktrace function would offer...
Just to give you a little impression what perl has got for such things (and
i'd love to see that or something similar in PHP) an extract from the
manual:
caller EXPR
caller
Returns the context of the current subroutine call. In scalar context,
returns the caller's package name if there is a caller, that is, if we're in
a subroutine or eval or require, and the undefined value otherwise. In list
context, returns
($package, $filename, $line) = caller;
With EXPR, it returns some extra information that the debugger uses to print
a stack trace. The value of EXPR indicates how many call frames to go back
before the current one.
($package, $filename, $line, $subroutine, $hasargs,
$wantarray, $evaltext, $is_require, $hints, $bitmask) = caller($i);
Here $subroutine may be (eval) if the frame is not a subroutine call, but an
eval. In such a case additional elements $evaltext and $is_require are set:
$is_require is true if the frame is created by a require or use statement,
$evaltext contains the text of the eval EXPR statement. In particular, for
an eval BLOCK statement, $filename is (eval), but $evaltext is undefined.
(Note also that each use statement creates a require frame inside an eval
EXPR) frame. $hasargs is true if a new instance of @_ was set up for the
frame. $hints and $bitmask contain pragmatic hints that the caller was
compiled with. The $hints and $bitmask values are subject to change between
versions of Perl, and are not meant for external use.
Furthermore, when called from within the DB package, caller returns more
detailed information: it sets the list variable @DB::args to be the
arguments with which the subroutine was invoked.
Be aware that the optimizer might have optimized call frames away before
caller had a chance to get the information. That means that caller(N) might
not return information about the call frame you expect it do, for N > 1. In
particular, @DB::args might have information from the previous time caller
was called.

There is no native PHP function for getting a stack trace. This has been
discussed many times on the PHP-DEV mailing list. It has always been
discarded due to an unacceptable overhead that would be introduced into the
parsing process.
I'm not sure if any decision has been made with respect to the Zend 2
engine, you may want to make a request there ([EMAIL PROTECTED]).

Hi all,
at this moment I am working on a script that calculates standings of our
online racing competition. In order to do that, I have to connect to a
database on a remote server.
I have read in the php manual that
[quote]
When a file is include()ed, the code it contains inherits the variable
scope of the line on which the include() occurs. Any variables available
at that line in the calling file will be available within the called
file. If the include() occurs inside a function within the calling file,
then all of the code contained in the called file will behave as though
it had been defined inside that function.
[/quote]
But for some reason, i simply do not get the script to work. I use a
form in the local script to determine which standings are to be shown,
and the value is stored in $serie_id. This is done in the main scope (no
function used). $serie_id can be 2, 3 or 4.
Then I make an include call to the remote script:
include("http://www.someremote.server/calculate_drivers.php";);
In that remote script I use $serie_id to make a database query. But so
far, the query fails because $serie_id is not known.
Are there any known exceptions (f.i. specific server settings) that
might explain why the variable is not known on the remote server?
Thanks in advance!

Are you absolutely certain that the var is being set properly?
Try printing it to the screen just before you call the script.

I'd make a bet (I haven't tried it) that you receive the file already parsed
and so as pure html.
Try it with the extension .txt or something that the remote webserver
doesn't process before it outputs the content.

Sure you can. Right out from the manual:
If "URL fopen wrappers" are enabled in PHP (which they are in the default
configuration), you can specify the file to be include()ed using an URL
instead of a local pathname. See Remote files and fopen() for more
information.

A lot of different answers, which I will respond to:
- The variable is definately set before the include call is made, there is
no doubt about that at all :)
- Including remote files *is* possible. The php manual does not mention this
does not work, and when I add the variable to the call (include
..../calculate_drivers?serie_id=3.php) the code is processed perfectly. The
thing is, I can not pass the variable with the call, because it's value is
determined by the form field. I could use a switch statement of course, but
that adds a lot more text to the code.
- I'm not sure changing the file extension will help (because the code in
that remote php file has to be processed on the remote server, in order to
be able to query the db), but I will give it a try.

I just changed the code to (include
.../calculate_drivers?serie_id=$serie_id.php)
... and this worked! Weird solution...

Not really. The http://.../foo.php request returns html and not php.
The foo.php file is parsed and executed by the remote server and
returned to you as html. By adding serie_id=xxx you actually give the
remote php-script the name and value of the variable.
You should think of include/require as a way to *include* any file
into your script. Instead of cutting and pasting code into your file,
you use include. Thats the way it works in practice. No magic is going
on here :-)

Hi Al.
While we are on topic, what are the key differences between include() &

Since some time there has only one difference left (don't know at which
version it changed):
include causes a warning and require an error on fail. (very useful for
debugging - require your error-handler and include everything else)

"Unlike include(), require() will always read in the target file,
even if the line it's on never executes. If you want to conditionally
include a file, use include(). The conditional statement won't affect
the require(). However, if the line on which the require() occurs is
not executed, neither will any of the code in the target file be
executed."

I'm pretty sure that at last for PHP 4.06 or higher this is deprecated. I
don't know why it is still in the manual.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Does "http://www.someremote.server/calculate_drivers.php"; contain a
function? If so, you may have to declare "$serie_id" as global within it.

Subject: [PHP] Passing variables with include()
Hi all,
at this moment I am working on a script that calculates standings of our
online racing competition. In order to do that, I have to connect to a
database on a remote server.
I have read in the php manual that
[quote]
When a file is include()ed, the code it contains inherits the variable
scope of the line on which the include() occurs. Any variables available
at that line in the calling file will be available within the called
file. If the include() occurs inside a function within the calling file,
then all of the code contained in the called file will behave as though
it had been defined inside that function.
[/quote]
But for some reason, i simply do not get the script to work. I use a
form in the local script to determine which standings are to be shown,
and the value is stored in $serie_id. This is done in the main scope (no
function used). $serie_id can be 2, 3 or 4.
Then I make an include call to the remote script:
include("http://www.someremote.server/calculate_drivers.php";);
In that remote script I use $serie_id to make a database query. But so
far, the query fails because $serie_id is not known.
Are there any known exceptions (f.i. specific server settings) that
might explain why the variable is not known on the remote server?
Thanks in advance!

This is only true for include()s that occur on a local file.
The next paragraph from the manual contains the information that you'll
actually need:
[quote]
If the include()ed file is called via HTTP using the fopen wrappers, and
if the target server interprets the target file as PHP code, variables
may be passed to the include()ed file using an URL request string as
used with HTTP GET. This is not strictly speaking the same thing as
include()ing the file and having it inherit the parent file's variable
scope; the script is actually being run on the remote server and the
result is then being included into the local script.
[/quote]
The distinction is:
When you include() a local file, the parser will insert the *code* from
that file into your script, and it will behave just as if the code
itself was typed in at that point.
When you include() a remote file, all the parser has access to is the
*results* of the remote file request.

This won't work with PHP, only with JavaScript Code which may be
dynamically outputted by php, which means, you could open windows with a
piece of javaScript, but you could save the size each individual user
wants in a database and output the size part from there.
the Javascript Code that would open a new window would be something like:
window.open("datei.htm","Fenster1","width=310,height=400,left=0,top=0");
sorry, don't know a good JavaScript Reference in English or greek by
now, you have to look for your own

Hi folks
I have been looking for a practical way to create rich dynamic forms in the
client using PHP, and would appreciate any pointers to workable approaches.
With the launch of .Net I suspect that customer expectations are going to
change, and good old plain HTML will begin to look dated.
I am thinking of client-side functionality such as lists that can sort and
filter, cascading dropdowns, drag and drop, validation in the client that is
double-checked on the server etc etc. I am doing quite large and complex
applications, so there is no way to code the client side stuff by hand - I
need some kind of dynamic library.
This is for intranet use, so I will be able to specifiy the browser verion
to be used, and any plugins required.
There seem to be all kinds of technologies emerging, but most of them are
either too immature, too slow (such as Flash based solutions - see
www.carels.com), or are based on Java.
For all its shorcomings, some kind of XML/DHTML solution seems best, and I
guess it will improve as Browsers catch up with CSS2.
I have spotted a very nice Java/Tomcat solution, for example (see
isomorphic.com), which shows what can be done. But the only DHTML/PHP
library I can find is dynapi, which looks promising but is still a bit
limited so far as functionality goes and the documentation is kinda thin.
Do any of you folks know of a workable way to do this - either commercial or
open source??
Any pointers would be much appreciated

If you don't want to use HTML/CSS and are not bound to use a webbrowser,
you could try to use PHP-GTK - it lets you build GUI's very quickly and
easily, and works on Win and UNix machines, the Data Processing can be
done in the same way you always did when coding PHP.
It is in an early stage, but there are already some interesting
applications, as a Mail Client and an editor.
look at http://gtk.php.net and subscribe to the Mailing Lists there if
you run into problems.

hmm, my experience with JavaScript is not much better than with Java -
both are error prone, lead to browser crashes, and are slow or just
don't work, if things get real comlicated and beyond "displaying a page
with some text and links and rollovers".

aehm, above you are talking client-side, now here Java/Tomcat /PHP,
it's all server side... what is your _real_ problem?
Creating Lists and all that sort of things which are easily to program
and maintain for developers - either client or server side, or what?
Are you just looking for a library that helps you to build forms and
things like that dynamically?

Hi Geoff,
Have a look at phpLens at http://phplens.com/ It's a commercial php software
that my company wrote that allows you to perform sort/filter/edit and
validation
too on your data. Many of our customers are using on Intranets/Extranets.
Works well with NN 4/6 and IE browsers.

Sorry if I didn't make it clear enough. I am talking about creating
client-side code dynamically on the server.
For example, I have an application that generates a data-entry system
dynamically from a data-dictionary and config files. Right now, it serves up
HTML 3.2, but I would like to be able to offer a more windoze-style
interface, with tabs, drag-and-drop, spreadsheet style grids, fancy combos
etc etc.
I am extending the app to include some CRM stuff, so I would also like
calendar widgets and stuff like that.
But it must be fast and reliable. So maybe HTML is still the only way to go.

I think PHP-GTK is a great project, but I really do need to create the
interface on the server and send it to some kind of thin client.
But as you, maybe DHTML is just too unstable.
I don't know if there is some kind of commercial plugin that does this and
will work with PHP. You can do forms in Flash, and they seem to be stable,
but they are much too slow.

It might seem that I am advocating PHP-GTK too much, but even this is
possible. PHP-GTK Apps would run on any X or Windows System where you
have the GTK Libs and PHP compiled - nothing more needed. I am not shure
but it might even be very well that these both together still use less
memory than a webbrowser - in RAM and on HD or when beeing fetched over
the network at boot time.
When really want to write your application in PHP instead of C/C++ or
maybe Java I would still consider it better than DHTML.

What exactly is too slow with flash? dynamical genberation with action
script?
You could generate your content and data with PHP and display it with
flash.

I have just been talking to the engineers at Carrels, who have produced a
Flash based system for rich forms, but I said I found it too slow and they
agreed. Downloading and rendering the movies is just too slow, even if they
are cached on the server, so Carrels are creating their own specialised
plugin for forms, and also talking with Macromedia about how this aspect of
Flash can be speeded up. The Carrels solution may be a solution once it is
out of beta, but for now, Flash doesn't seem to be the way to go.
I am thinking of using Flash to produce printable documents, though, such as
letters, labels and invoices. I think the Flash format is easier to handle
than PDF, and is generally faster all round. There is an interesting looking
commercial product which looks a bit like Macromedia Generator, but which
has an PHP api. Have you ever heard of this?

I think you need to add the apache module extensions to your apache

try adding --enable-apxs or --with-apxs (I can remember the exact syntax)
to the apache configure.

Hi,
I'm setting up a website and one of the needs is a good in-browser WYSIWYG
editor.
I want to be able that people with no HTML knowledge can manage to edit &
format content.
I've looked at several utilities, such as the one used in postnuke.
I need something with more image manipulation possibilities.
eg: list all images on a dir on the server when you click the insert image
button.
cfdev's activedit (http://www.cfdev.com/activedit/) is such a tool but i
find it a bit too expensive...
Could anyone help me ?
Thx very much

Hi Manuel and all developers.
I understand that the implementation of strtok was
"broken" (non POSIX compliant) but since it has been
like this for ages would be better to give a chance to
developers worldwide (that has been using and relied
on this broken implementation) to control the
behaviour of such feature much the same way
REGISTER_GLOBALS (or something) in recently 4.1.0.
Imagine recoding 100+ distributed scripts to change
this!
The decision of having this "fixed" is great but not
paying attention (like you always did in the past)
with backwards compatibility is (IMHO) a mistake.
Best regards,

Hello everyone,
I am trying to learn how to use ereg_replace(), but I don't seem to be
doing it correctly.
"$phone" is a 10-digit string.
I want to perform the following:
$phone = ereg_replace(".{10}", "[part where I am confused]", $phone);
I would like the output to be
$phone = "(555) 555-5555";
Can a regexp guru help me out? Thank you

Hi Erik,

you don't need regex to do that.
just insert add "(" to the beginning of $phone,
add ") " to the 4th position,
and "-" to the 4th position from behind,
using substr_replace() function.
anyway if you insist on using regex:
preg_replace("/(\d{3})(\d{3})(\d{4})/", "(\\1) \\2-\\3", $arr);

I would use preg_replace to do this.
<?
$phone = "5555555555";
$phone = preg_replace("/([0-9]{3,3})([0-9]{3,3})([0-9]+)/", "($1) $2-$3",
$phone);
echo $phone;
?>
The parentheses in the first part of the expression capture what you want.
The stuff between the [and] is a characterclass (in this instance 0 through
9).
The stuff between the curly braces is min,max.
So.....
([0-9]{3,3}) Match 0 through 9 a minimum (and max) of three times
([0-9]+) - match at least once.
Hence the number becomes:
($1) $2-$3
($1) = stuff in first parentheses (three digits) - this case, (555)
followed by a space
followed by the next three digits
followed by a dash
followed by whatever's left.
Note that in the second part of the expression, parentheses lose their
"special meaning", and can be used as regular characters (as can the other
metacharacters).
You will want to make sure that the numbers when inputted are in the format
you want them when you bring them back out of the file / db whatever -
if (!preg_match("/^[0-9]{10,10}/", $input)) {
// We need 10 numbers!
}
Hope that helps.

The book (though going into examples using perl mainly) gives you a general
grounding in regular expressions - I learned php before perl, and
javascript, though the book has equipped me equally well for all three. I
love it, and would recommend it for anyyone who's even vaguely interested in
regexes.

I own and have read "Mastering Regular Expressions" (excellent book). I've
programmed perl for 3 years and have recently started migrating one of my
projects into php. I can't stand ereg, I prefer preg. While functions such
as substitute and match differ in syntax from perl to php, this book will
teach you quite a bit about how to effectively use preg, which i've found to
be easier, and faster than ereg.
For the record, I like perl's syntax better... ;p
Hope this helps,

freak out. (i.e. I get no error message at all just "page cannot be displayed")
So I'm wondering, can you pull image fields out with PHP?
If so, I'm guessing my limitation is freetds. If not, is there any way to pull
an image out of a database using php? (i.e. store it in a different type of
field not image.)
Any help is appreciated,
Thanks,
Zara

Here is my question.
I wrote a script, which gets parameters from db about document (location on
disc, hashed filename and original filename). Then script open this file a
send it to user.
I use this headers
Header("Content-Type: application/download\n");
Header("Content-Disposition: attachment;filename=\"name_of_file\"");
Header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");
On Windows it works good, but on Mac it doesn't accept name_of_file and try
save this file with name of script.
What is wrong ? Do you have any idea ??
If I used:
Header("Content-Disposition: filename=\"jmeno_souboru\"");
then this script doesn't work also on Windows with Mozilla. Is there any
error in MSIE on Mac, isn't it ?
Thank you for any idea

It seems to be bug in IE/Netscape/Other www browser on Mac, that's all.
Header wasn't correct interpreted. I had similar problem with NETSCAPE 6
on Windows. I hope they will correct it shortly.

Hi,
I am using the Nusphere application server with apache user directories.
I have several protected user
directories that are of different realms. When a user logs into the
'secure area' i would like to send them
to pages contained in a secure directory but pass the encoded user:pass
in the URL as to avoid the pop-up
apache authentication dialogue. Is this possible and how do i achieve
this?
TIA,

Your question is not very clear, not to me anyway.
Are you trying to write some PHP code that remembers a user name and
password over several requests? If so, I can answer that.
According to me, it's hard. The problem is that PHP (in fact Apache itself)
doesn't remember any information between requests - there is (almost) no
persistent storage. In any case, an apache web server machine runs several
copies of Apache, and you would have to share the data between all the
copies. Furthermore, there can be more than one physical server.
Your PHP could remember the credentials in a shared database, but that would
be slow.
Once you have some persistent storage, you need to be sure that the incoming
requests are really coming from where you think they are - some sort of
secure session management. Without that, a hacker can break into somebody
else's logged-in session by sending suitable fake requests.
All this is easier in HTTPS. I am working on some code that implements
persistent storage with HTTPS, but I haven't got the shared memory part
working yet.

Apparently i have been unclear, allow me to rephrase:
I want to send user:pass to an apache authentication header for a apache
protected user directory. Unfortunately, I have php installed as CGI so
native php authentication will not function. I would like
to either send the user:pass via GET in a url encoded sting (if possible
as CGI) OR send user:pass
directly to the header using a different method. Due to restrictions
imposed on me, i am not able
to make use of a single unified logon using LDAP or NTLM. In my case,
since there are several user
directories spanning severl realms, I must first authenticate users
against a mysql auth db and fetch
the the realm user:pass based on that users permissions.
Is it possible to send the user:pass in any of the methods described
above? If so, how can i implement
this?

Lets say I have a page that makes queries with multiple sorts, returning
plenty of rows and displaying part of the result set. Each time the
client accesses the page the query must be re-executed, spinning the CPU
and thus tieing up resources. In PHP, or any other language could the
result set be stored persistently until the client accesses the page
again, or the result expires and must be re-executed?

Have a look at www.devshed.com I'm pretty sure there's a good article on
caching there that you'd find usefull. (if not there is *definately* one
on www.zend.com)

I would like to thank you all for all the info you gave me and the php.ini
file!
Your suggestions have been really useful and I made some progresses, but
I've still got problems :-(
I changed the MAILSERVER line to YES as you said, and now sendmail should
start every time I reboot, but I haven't yet resolved some configurations
problems.
As you all suggested I looked again in several websites and followed many
instructions I've finally found. However it still doesn't work :-(
The last and *most important* thing left to do is to start sendmail, but I
always get errors like:
A) "Failed to start sendmail : 451 4.0.0 /etc/mail/sendmail.cf: line 81:
fileclass: cannot open /etc/mail/local-host-names: Group writable directory"
B) "Failed to start sendmail : /etc/mail/sendmail.cf: WARNING: dangerous
write permissions 451 4.0.0 /etc/mail/sendmail.cf: line 81: fileclass:
cannot open /etc/mail/local-host-names: Group writable directory"
I've got this errors either trying to start sendmail using the terminal or
an interesting applications called "Webmin" I've found looking around for
more information. Webmin allows to manage from your browser various items
like Apache, sendmail and similar stuff, more easily than doing it through
the terminal (at least for a beginner like me).
I always get the same errors and I believe it is because of the file
"local-host-names" privileges. I tried changing them in any combination, but
it still doesn't work...
I will continue trying and hope to get it fixed , if not I will download
another mail server I found looking for info. It is called "post fix" and,
as I read, should be easier to configure and use than sendmail.
Do you think this could be a valid solution?
Thanks again for the patience and the kindness.
Bye,
Michael

AFAIK you don't actually need to start the sendmail (smtpd?) daemon. You just
need the /usr/bin/sendmail (or wherever it's located) program.

Hi people !
I have a query regarding double-byte languages on PHP.
I need to sort a index localized from English to Korean.
My idea is:
* get the Korean strings from file;
* convert them to UTF8;
* insert them in a Oracle database set to work with UTF8;
* set "NLS_LANG" with "Alter session" SQL command to this variable
match with Korean language;
* get the strings sorted by Oracle with a "SELECT * FROM table SORT BY
field ASC" SQL command;
I've tried to convert the Korean string to UTF8 with utf8_encode function,
but this function converted each byte from double-byte string to its
relative in UTF8 chars.
Reverting this string encoded to UTF8 with utf8_decode function, the browser
can display successfully the Korean chars (because the individual bytes of
the double-byte string will be as them were before), but Oracle can't sort
the strings properly because that UTF8 chars converted by utf8_encode
function were not relative to a double-byte char, but relative to a 2 single
bytes chars!
How can I convert a double-byte string to UTF8 properly???
Really thanks !!!!

Hi there,
I'm creating a PHP extension of my own, and I'd like my extension's
module_startup_function (i.e., PHP_MINIT_FUNC) to be the last one called
among all the extensions' MINIT funcs. I'd also like my extension's
request_startup_function (PHP_RINIT_FUNC) to be the first one called among
all extension's RINIT funcs.
Is there any way that allows me to control the calling order of the
module_startup/shutdown functions and request_startup/shutdown functions of
my own extension relative to other extensions? I'm using PHP-4.1.0 on Linux.
Thanks a lot for your help.

I can't figure this one out...
I boiled it down to a test case where I have a bunch of classes and a
demo program:
demo.php:
===========================
<?
require_once "L.php";
$l = new L();
?>
===========================
L.php
===========================
<?
require_once "P.php";
require_once "C2.php";
class L extends P{
var $class = "L class";
var $c;
function L() {
$this->c = new C2();
echo "L init\n";
}
}
?>
=========================
<?
class P {
var $class = "P class";
function P() {
echo "P init\n";
}
}
?>
============================
C2.php
============================
<?
class C2 extends L{
var $class = "C2 class";
function C2(){
echo "C2 init\n";
}
}
?>
so I'm instantiating L, L is a subclass of P and C2 is a subclass of L.
The contructor for L creates an instance of C2.
I just want users to have to require_once the L class file (L.php) and
not have to think about P.php or C2.php so I include them in L.php
(incase it helps, in real life P is PEAR.php, L is LDAP.php, and C2 is
Connection.php)
When I run demo.php I get
'Fatal error: Class c2: Cannot inherit from undefined class l in C2.php
on line 2'
if I move the 'require_once "C.php";' line from L.php to demo.php I
don't get the error.
can anyone explain what is going on?

When using the mail () function to send an email to a
linux server the header information shows two from
addresses. (1)e-mail address that was defined in $from
variable in the header. (2) [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Can someone explain this? I only want the $from
variable to show up in the header. Can I do this
with the simple mail () function? Thanks
