The tokenizer that Erik was referring to is actually a PHP lexer, not a
general tokenizer. Perhaps you would be looking for the strtok() function?

Thanks for the reply Rene,
Any change of a code sample of how u did this?? Im not at all experienced in

According to the manual, PHP does have some tokenizer functions:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.tokenizer.php
However, the documentation appears to be lacking as they are still under
development. Using it might be somewhat straightforward if you are
accustomed to using a tokenizer in another language (like Java) but if
not, it's really a little too difficult to explain in an email.
A less elegant but ultimately quicker and probably more reliable
solution might be to investigate some kind of external word-counting
program that knows how to parse .DOC files (good luck on that part), and
call this from your PHP script using system(). Catch-22: the only
libraries I am familiar with that can parse .DOC files are the Jakarta
POI libraries, which are written in Java. But I am sure that if you
scour the web you can find some Perl, Python, or maybe even PHP-based
solution.

Weren't sure whether or not to post this to the list or not, since Java
ain't really got anything to do with PHP ... but I did it anyway...
Anyways, had to dig a little, as I did this for a school project ...
Here's the Java function as it looks in the project, just snipped it all
to make it clearer to see the connection:
// function countWords
public void countWords(String tekst) {
String tmpString;
st = new StringTokenizer(tekst);
numChars = 0;
numWords = st.countTokens();
numWordsOver6 = 0;
while (st.hasMoreTokens()) {
tmpString = st.nextToken();
if (tmpString.length() > 6) {
numWordsOver6++;
} // if
numChars += tmpString.length();
} // while
percWords = (double) (numWordsOver6 / numWords) * 100;
} // method countWords
As I said, not easily convertible to PHP since Java is purely object
oriented, and PHP is not really so ...
>From the code above:
st = new StringTokenizer(tekst);
/* Create new tokenizer object, and send it string tekst */
numWords = st.countTokens();
/* Count number of tokens in the text. This is a standard function in the
Java StringTokenizer class. */
The rest is more or less self-explanatory. Java buils heavily on C++,
which shows ...
I'm not gonna go further into Java than this. I don't use it myself, but
in some ways it's alot simpler than other languages to work with. But when
it comes to I/O functions, Java is a nightmare. Loading a file into Java
is by no means an easy task, and requires careful studying of how the
system calls needs to made ...
Totally don't understand why anyone likes to use a language designed for
washing machines and coffee makers...(that's actually part of why it's
called Java)

Just peeked at the strtok() function in PHP manual ... and the only real
difference from Java seems to be how the tokenizer is initialized, and how
to get the next token.
Another method is the one I use in VB (which don't have a tokenizer
function):
Split the entire text into an array, then count the number of elements in
the array (but be warned: A text file in array causes a massive memory
drain).
I do this is in all my VB programs to deal with file paths ... in VB
there's simply no simpler to construct entire folder trees that don't
exist...

you are trying to include a variable inside a single quoted string.
change the echo line to this.
echo "<script language='javascript'> window.location = '$thepage'>

It has to do with the fact that you're using single quotes, and
$thepage is not replaced for its value.
I think you'd want to rewrite the function like this (note the \
escaping the "):
function js_pointer_login($thepage)
{
echo "<script language=\"javascript\"> window.location = '$thepage'
</script>";
}
Hope this Helps,
Oscar F.

Three fundemental flaws:
1) single quotes in PHP denote a litteral string so $thepage will not be
parsed
2) the first single quote before $thepage will end the echo statement
anything after that is a parse error
3) the proper javascript syntax to redirect to a url within the active
window is window.location.href="";

}
beside the quote thing which others mentioned, please make it as
cross-browser-compatible as possible:
window.location.href=
and try to let $thepage be a complete url, including the http:// and the
www.domain.org/ part. That will work in more browsers!

parent.location.href=""
works just as fine ... and it's also portable directly to frames
sub-files.
Oh, and in JavaScript the end-line ; markers aren't used ... they're
ignored mostly, but some older browsers caugh and spit at them ... JS
standard doesn't require them, but because they're used in Java and
JScript, the newer JIT compilers just ignore them...

Hiya Brad--
We published a news item on this a few days ago; there's a free WYSIWYG
editor that works both on IE and Mozilla 1.3 called HTMLArea.
You can find it here:
http://www.interactivetools.com/products/htmlarea/reviews.html
(our news item is at http://phparch.com/newsarchive.php?s=htmlarea). I
use it in quite a few applications and it's both very useful and quite
stable.
Cheers,
Marco

In basic authentication the password goes across the network in plain
text and the server therefore has a choice in how it stores the
password. There are different ways of doing this usually involving a).
DES b). md5 both injected with a bit of salt.
Different implementations use different amounts of salt etc. Anyway, the
function you are looking for is probably crypt:

--------------------[snip]--------------------
Noticeable? Probably not, except you're timing loops of a million or more
cycles... but it's clear that the second method needs more time (in terms
of cpu cycles) than the first one.
In Intel speak, what would a compiler translate these code examples to?
if (a == b) {} else {}
mov eax, {a}
cmp eax, {b}
jnz L01
; the "true" block goes here
jmp L02
L01:
; the "false" (else) block goes here
L02:
As you can see there's two memory operations and one comparison.
Your second example:
if (a == b) {} else if (a != b) {}
mov eax, {a}
cmp eax, {b}
jnz L01
; the "true" block goes here
jmp L02
L01:
mov eax, {a}
cmp eax, {b}
jz L02
; the second block goes here
L02:
There's four memory operations, and two comparisons.
As another poster already pointed out, there's also a slight difference
comparing something to zero, or to false:
if (a == 0)
mov eax, {a}
cmp eax, 0
jnz L01
if (!a)
mov eax, {a}
or eax, eax
jnz L01
The latter version consumes approx. half of the time (in cpu cycles)
compared to the first one.
Modern compilers will leverage the need for a to deal with these efforts.
The multi-pass optimizers usually detect situations like these and would
use the "if (!a) {} else {}" construct, without regard what your original
input is.
However, PHP is _not_ a compiler, it's an interpreter. It "compiles" code
at runtime and has not the ability to perform exhaustive optimizations
which would cost far more time than can be gained within a single
execution. Additionally there's the time needed to parse the input stream
(tokenize, add to symbol table, execute token and expression parser, etc
etc). With interpreting languages the differences will rocket skyhigh
compared to compiled executables.
Well, it's still to be measured in nanoseconds for a single instance,
thanks to modern processor power...

I'm totally lost here ... what does that mean???
Reminds me of assembler, except that assembler is more like:
0001 jnp e002 e003 0005
0002 jmp e002 e003 0008
And so on (not sure if that's fully correct ... haven't touched assembler
since '92) ...
Please ellaborate Ernest ...

Doesn't PHP precompile the files and shove the result into the cache? Or
did I get that wrong ???

As a note Turck mmcache does optimization and also caches the compiled
scripts into shared memory. Zend also has the Zend Optimizer and Zend
Encoder.
Turck mmcache is available at http://www.turcksoft.com/en/e_mmc.htm
The benchmarking I did with Turck mmcache showed that Turck was a little
over 15% faster than APC for my applications (over 35,000 lines with
over 25 classes). Turck comes with a nice web interface where you can
disable the cache or optimizer and also view the cached scripts.

Yup, assembler, specifically Intel x86 using the 32bit registers (I said
"Intel speak" before the code). The code you present must be for a
different processor that I don't know... well, haven't programmed in asm
since - wait let me think - 85? Have still some asm manuals around, but I
don't think the timing numbers are still relevant for todays caching cpu's...

You need to create a number out of the dotted IP string to use them in
valid <= and >= comparisons. This is a valid procedure, since the IP
basically _IS_ a number, it's just written in the dotted notation to aid us
miserable human beings.
$abytes = explode('.', $ip); // explode the IP string
$ip = 0;
foreach ($abytes as $byte) $ip = ($ip << 8) + $byte;
This will give you the valid numeric equivalent of the IP address.

Isn't that what ip2long() does?
Also, the man page on ip2long() has some good notes and code that may
help the OP.

Hi,
I use the following headers to force open a download dialog box. However, my download
files are located in other directories/subdirectories. How can I specify a download
path in the header? The 'Content-Location' header does not work in this case. Can
someone please help?
header("Content-type: application/octet-stream");
header("Content-Length: $filelength");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$fname;");
Thanks.

Why don't you do:
readfile($filename);
straight after your header statements. That will read in the file and
pass it straight through to the browser.

Your hardware will determine your level of performance and in many cases
stability (cheap components like generic ram lower stability and
performance) but I've had no problems running PHP under FreeBSD 4 or
FreeBSD 5 or Slackware Linux and mostly minor problems running under
HP-UX 10/11.
Everyone has at least one OS of choice (mine is FreeBSD and then
OpenBSD) so you will have to weigh opinions, I would decide what you
need your server to do and then take a look at a few operating systems.
FreeBSD is an excellent all purpose server, OpenBSD is excellent in high
threat environments, Linux is good if that is all your IT supports or
you are doing very Linux specific things.
All the PHP optimizer/caching programs I've used have support for
FreeBSD and Linux so that will not be a limiting factor.
Basically get good hardware and your performance with PHP should be good
under most operating systems, get bad hardware and it doesn't matter
anyway.

Also weigh in which you feel most comfortable in. If you're a DOS hawk,
going Linux is said to be easier than BSD ... dunno, never tried BSD, only
Linux and BeOS (and you don't really use the command line in BeOS)...
But all *nix share the same issue: You need to build the files yourself,
from the same source files. So the config is the same nomatter what.
Anyways ... I prefer Linux ... but has been a while since I stopped
building my own ... they're just too complex these days ... haven't got
time to wait ;-)

Hi people,
I want to setup a shopping cart for an ecom site which sells baby clothese
but I dont know which to pick,
Agora or OSCommerce? any help appreciated, if possible please tell me why
you picked the one you pick too...
FREE HOSTING.
.............................
Reciently I have purchased a large hosting account for a project that didnt
go through and now i have one website with a whole lot of space and power
which is too much for just me and i want to share it...
Heres the plan,
I want to offer anybody who is programming in servlets or PHP free hosting,
BUT
1) they will have to have a site that is pretty much devoted to programming
(e.g. servlets.com, hotscripts, devshed, phpdev, etc).
I am offering 5mb space (more on request), java servlets (Tomcat JSP
engine), MySql database, PHP (NOT safe mode), CGI-BIN, etc,
yourdomain.com or a sub domain.
In return they must add my banners to their pages but on the front page it
can be just a small button.
Now...the banners thing might tick you off a bit but heres the idea, I am
toying with the idea of having an indoor banner exchange...
eg:
all the sites that are being hosted by me display their banners on each
others sites...NOTE: this may change in the future depending on how this
little experiement goes.
heres the PHPINFO page to check the installation.
http://www.321go.biz/phpinfo.php
NO Spam, no "X" matererial (not even cartoons or dirty jokes)
I have only 25 account available for PHP right now....
If interested and you think you qualify, write to me with your details at

I have a MySQL query that I am sending the results to text boxes in a form.
In the event of a space in the string data, the string is being truncated at
the first space. Is there a PHP function that can prevent this string data
from being truncated in the form.
If I print the query results or send them to a texarea, the data is
displayed correctly.
Thanks,

No, there's no PHP function, but there is an HTML trick that you can
use: putting quotes around your values!
<input type="text" name="name" value="value">

If the digest is mailed in the correct format, programs like Forte Agent
and Pegasus can split the digest into its seperate messages. Then you can
reply to a message inside the digest like it was a normal message.
It's kinda neat, but not all (read: few) lists support this, so the ones
that don't can be a real pain to go through ... Haven't used digests for
lists in 5 years though ...

Why not just do it in a loop, and plump of one mail in each loop ???
The bulk mailer I've got works this way ... stick it one message, tell it
which list of addresses to use, and of it goes .. spittin' out thousands
of mails in a few seconds ...
This one's a W32 GUI program ...

you can use strtotime()

I've been looking for an answer to this question for ages, but have failed.
Hopefully one of you guys can help.
I'm looking for a way of finding out what the linux server's country is set
to.
I notice there's setlocale(), but I want something more like getlocale(),
which there doesn't seen to be one.
I'm using PHP 4.0.6

and see if the submitted data is numeric or contains any letters.
What I want to do is allow users to link to a record in a MySQL db using
the record id's and the values of the name field.
www.domain.com/showlisting.php?town=1 and
www.domain.com/showlisting.php?town=London
Both would work by performing a search on different fields in the MySQL
SELECT statement. Just an idea to make thing easy for users, any help
appreciated.
Thanks
Stephen

Helo,
use is_numeric($str) to check whether a string contains all numeric values.

how do I connect securely to a postgres database on another server / DNS
name / IP?
Some way to do SSL/SSH easily from PHP?
--- End Message ---
--- Begin Message ---
You should put this on the postgres general list not here...
I've heard a lot of talk about this lately, though I haven't gotten around to
implementing it yet.. There is also a section in the online postgres docs on
how to do this.
And if you're fast someone just posted a question 2 minutes ago on the
pgsql-general list that went like this...
I'm using redhat 8.0 and postgresql 7.2.4 (rpm from postgresql.org). I want
to enable ssl.
START QUOTE
I have edited postgresql.conf to ssl = true. I also follow the 7.3 manual
(from postgresql.org) to create certificates and placed them in
/var/lib/pgsql/data/. Then restart the server with /etc/init.d/postgresql
restart. The result is [Failed]. What else should I do? Or procedure for 7.3
is different from 7.2.4? Or the rpm does not have ssl enabled when compile?

I'd suggest hopping onto the postgres list :)

The usage of md5() in PHPLIB show TWO arguments, a seed and the string. Nothing in the
online manual shows 2 args. What's the dealio?
Line 111 from PHPLIB7.2c - session.inc:
$id = $this->that->ac_newid(md5(uniqid($this->magic)), $this->name);
--- End Message ---

First of all, the example you gave is only using one argument to the MD5 function.
Secondly, if you *want* to seed/salt the MD5 with a key you can use:

Hi,
I need to get a php script to print out a list of random characters. This
is the list:
a'
b'
c'
d'
e'
f'
g'
a''
b''
c''
d''
e''
f''
g''
They would be printed to a maximum of 50 in a row separated by spaces. Can
anyone give me a pointer as to how to do this? Since the rand functions
are only for numbers, maybe assign each character group a number?
Thanks in advance!

I put together the following function to give me a password consisting of random
letters and numbers. It should be fairly clear as to how you'd need to tweak it to
just give you the characters you'd need interspersed with spaces.
Hope this helps - I also hope anybody else is fairly gentle with their criticisms and
pointers to whatever is wrong with the script - this is the first time I've ventured
to include something like this in a response to an email on the list :-(
function get_password()
{
// Create the password variable as an array
$temp_password = array();
// Create an array of the letters of the alphabet
$letters = array("a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "f", "g", "h", "i", "j", "k",
"l", "m", "n", "o", "p", "q", "r", "s", "t", "u", "v",
"w", "x", "y", "z");
// Get the first three alpha characters of the password
for($row = 0; $row < 3; $row ++)
{
srand ((double) microtime() * 1000000);
$rand_number = rand(0, 25);
$letter = $letters[$rand_number];
array_push($temp_password, $letter);
}
// Get five numeric characters to complete the password
for($row = 0; $row < 5; $row ++)
{
srand ((double) microtime() * 1000000);
$rand_number = rand(0, 9);
array_push($temp_password, $rand_number);
}
// Convert the array into a single string
for ($row = 0; $row < count($temp_password); $row ++)
{
$password .= $temp_password[$row];
}
// Return the password to the script that called the function
return $password;
}
By the way - I put this together one evening after consuming five pints of Jameson's
with one arm tied behind my back and whilst wearing a blindfold!

Most likely your php binary (CLI, not module) was not compiled with mysql
support.

Hi all,
I am looking for a PHP-Nuke/Slashdot -type of php-based application, which
can run on an Interbase database. On drawback I currently have with the
others is that it does not seem to have a listserv type of interface, with
subscription/unsubscription requests/archives/digests/etc.
Does anyone know about something written in PHP that I can use for this. A
modular approach which allows for other things later on
(cataloguing/download management/etc) would be useful.
Oh, it also needs access control.
Anyone??

Hello guys,
we have a strange problem with apache and php. apache 1.3.27 and php 4.23 is
running on a solaris-machine with 2 ipadresses. apache serves request at
both interfaces.
Everything works fine, but every 6 days at one ip-address the clients get no
response from apache. Apache logs this requests with statuscode 200 but
where normally the transfered bytes stands is a '-', meaning that null bytes
are transferred. The same request to the other ipaddress works fine. Only a
restart of apache fix the problem.
Can anyone help me or give an advice????
best regards fitz

Hello,
I want have a Apache/PHP/MySQL configuration running on Win2000 (SP3). In my
website I have a file-upload page where uses can upload a file. The max size
of the upload has to be set in the mysql.ini file but I am not able to do
this.
I use winMySQLAdmin v1.4. When I add in the tab 'my.ini Setup' under
[mysqld] 'max_allowed_packet=8M' to increase the max allowed upload filesize
the corresponding value in the tab 'Variables' does not change (it stays at
the default value of 1048567). Also when I restart te server (using the same
winMySQLAdmintool) this value doesn't change.
Funny thing is that in tab 'Environment' under 'Uptime' the value doesn't
change - even after restarting the server.
Is this tool buggy?
Thanks,
Marc
