You seem to be using ereg syntax in a PCRE function! Replace them with 
their
proper PCRE counterparts.

Eg to match alphanumeric:

 [0-9|a-z|A-Z]  // off the top of my head, untested

etc.

[PHP] help with preg_replace please

[Justin French]

Hi,

Total newbie on reg exps, and even worse with preg!!!

I get the following error:

Parse error: parse error, expecting `T_VARIABLE' or `'$'' in
/usr/local/apache/htdocs/lib/lib_string.inc on line 218

Using this code:
$str = 
preg_replace("!([[:alnum:]]+)://([^[:space:]]*)([[:alnum:]#?/&=])!ei", "{$2}{$3}", $str);


Can anyone point to the problem?


The aim is to perform functions on $2 & $3.

Re: [PHP] NewB Q on Arrays.

[Frappy John]

> What i want to be able to do is determine if a certain

If you want to check the log to see if a single user has 
viewed a particular movie, then include the user and movie 
in the select statement:

select uid, mvid from mvlogtbl where uid = $userID and mvid 
= $movieID

If mysql_num_rows > zero, then user has watched this movie.

Better still:

select count(uid) from mvlogtbl where uid = $userID and 
mvid = $movieID

Here one row will be returned containing the number of 
times the user has viewed the movie.

[PHP] RE: connecting to mysql db

[Uttam]

Yes, It is necessary because script executes & ends for every request.

Variables can be made persistent by using cookie/sessions but mysql
connection is a resource which can not be saved & restored as session
variable.

For efficient use of resources, you may use mysql_pconnect() (only when php
is used as module), but still you have to use it in every script.  The only
difference is that mysql_pconnect() will
*use any previously open mysql connection & use it instead of making fresh
connection to mysql
*if a fresh connection is made, it will not be closed when script ends.

Are you certain it is a space and not something like a linebreak?  If it's 
at the end of the line, you might consider ltrim or rtrim, which would 
eliminate most whitespace characters from the beginning or ending of the 
string.

[PHP] imap_open Error

I'm using the following code to try to open a stream to access my email: 
  
$user_id = "userid"; 
$password = "password"; 
$inbox = @imap_open("{mail.host.com:143}INBOX", $user_id, $password); 
  
I've verified the correct username, password, hostname combination by setting up an 
IMAP account through Outlook Express. 
  
However, whenever I try and open the page that this code sits on I get a "The Page 
Cannot Be Displayed" error.  Specifically, it says that it cannot find the server or 
DNS error.  I can comment out the imap_open line and the page will load fine.  Also,

I can't figure out why this is happening.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

RE: [PHP] Mac IE File download problem - any solutions?

[Daniel Leighton]

Actually, I think you may have misunderstood.  On Mozilla (Mac), Netscape (Mac) and 
Safari the script works exactly as I have intended: sending the "Content-Type: 
application/octet-stream" header causes the file to download; sending the 
"Content-Type: video/quicktime" causes the file to be played within the browser.  On 
IE (Mac OS X), some files with the .mov extension download when the "Content-Type: 
application/octet-stream" header is sent, while others play in-browser, while all play 
in-browser, as they should.

>From what I understand, "Content-Type: application/octet-stream" header should ALWAYS 
>cause a download.  This is not an issue of post-processing (the settings in the

After re-compiling PHP with mime-magic enabled, the mime_content_type() function is 
returning "video/quicktime" for the file which does not download and "text/plain" for 
the one which does (even though the "text/plain" file plays fine both in-browser and 
once it is downloaded).  In any case, that will be my next area of investigation.

RE: [PHP] variables??

[John W. Holmes]

Okay, true. But they key here is the "act accordingly", meaning you
sanitize and validate the variable before using it anywhere. 

Sometimes the way it's represented is that just using $_GET['var'] is
going to make things more secure than using $var, which is not the case
unless you know what exactly $_GET['var'] contains and how you're using
it.

No, it is more secure.  The problem with register_globals is that ALL
variables become global - not just the ones you want to be.  Example:

if(something) $authorized = true;
if($authorized){
...do something requiring security...
}

A hacker could easily go to script.php?authorized=1, and gain access.
 If you only allow one variable in that ($_GET['var']), you will know
that the variable is from an outside source, and can act accordingly.

$d1 = explode('-',$date1);
$d2 = explode('-',$date2);

The benchmarking is just a matter of subtracting the time at the end of

Check your web server logs for the resources question. I don't know of

You have to write the whole file over. So read the entire file into a
string. If you know you're looking to match $template, then you can use
a preg_replace() call.

$new_value = "red";
preg_replace('/\$template="[^"]";/','$template="'.$new_value.'";',$text)
;

or something similar. Adapt to your needs.

[PHP] How to prevent execution of PHP in specific directory.

[Heo, Jungsu]

Hello, there.

(Sorry to bother you if this kind of message already posted, but I cannot find
the answer)

My system hosts customers using Apache Virtual Host.

If a customer has www.a.com, image.a.com ,

DocumentRoot of http://www.a.com is /usr/local/apache/htdocs/
and http://image.a.com is /home/user_name/public_html/

And, if another user has www.b.com , DocumentRoot of http://www.b.com is
/usr/local/apache/htdocs/
and http://image.b.com is /home/user_name/public_html/

Users can upload PHP file via FTP.

So, I wanna to prevent execution of PHP on User's HOME directory.
and /usr/local/apache/htdocs/ can execute PHP Script.

How can I do this?

Thank you for advanced answer!

I'll guess that you're trying to access $frequency outside of the

RE: [PHP] formatting textarea input on output

[daniel]

umm nl2br doesnt work most the time ,

"nl2br --  Inserts HTML line breaks before all newlines in a string "

sorry to give a wrong example this is for splitting your content into 
paragraphs obviously where there is a break in the content like so

efwojeiowerjwetwpjwewoj

eioptejoiejiojtei

it wont br every bloody newline ! which doesnt give good results all the time

RE: [PHP] foreach statement

You don't.

"Note: foreach does not support the ability to suppress error messages using

You should check the validity of your argument before passing it to foreach

if(is_array($array)){
foreach($array as $key=>$val){

[PHP] Object Aggregation - does anyone have experience with it?

[Christopher E. Welton]

I am using php 4.2.2 with Apache 2.0 on Red Hat 8.0

When I attempt to dynamically aggregate two objects using the
aggregate() call, I get the following message:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: aggregate()

the man page for aggregate() lists  the following info:
aggregate
(PHP 4 >= 4.2.0)
void aggregate ( object object, string class_name)

Though I realize this module is experimental, I'm curious if it has been
pulled out from PHP, moved to a different name/section or if there is
just something weird going on here with my installation.

Any help would be appreciated

RE: [PHP] Backing Up Tables Using PHP

[Jennifer Goodie]

Most RDB programs come with an integrated backup solution.  You might want
to look into those.

As far as why your code is not working, you are not looping through the
result set, you are only pulling one result.  A database does not store data
in order, it puts it where ever there's a hole, so the 25th record could
very well hold the first spot in the file.  You have more problems than not
looping, echo "$result_sql_daily[$count_daily]"; is just going to print
"array()" if I am not mistaken.  To fix the problem that you asked about
though, take out the part where you fetch the first result and replace the
for statement with
while ($result_sql_daily = mysql_fetch_array($run_sql_daily)){

Subject: [PHP] Backing Up Tables Using PHP


Hello,

Trying to author my own PHP database table back up utility.  A very
simple one at that...

Here's my sql statement to select everything in the table:

$sql_daily = "SELECT * FROM dailytable";
$run_sql_daily = mysql_query($sql_daily);
$result_sql_daily = mysql_fetch_array($run_sql_daily);

Here's the code for showing me whats in the result array:

for ($count_daily=0; $count_daily < count($result_sql_daily);
$count_daily++)
 {
 echo "";
 echo "$result_sql_daily[$count_daily]";
 }
exit;


Does anyone out there know why it only prints one line of the table?
It's a line in the middle of the table, it's not the first line, it's
not the last line, it's in the middle of about 25 lines.

Is this not the proper way to back up tables in a database?  I'd like a
back up copy of my tables on CD-ROM and I thought once this prints out
correctly I'd just have it print to a text file and then place the text
file on a cd

Thanks,

This is "if $phone is anything else than a single digit". You need to add
either a plus or an asterisk after the closing bracket to denote multiple
instances of the character set:
  if (!ereg("^[0-9]*$",$phone)) {

You could also check if anything _not_ being a number exists within $phone:
  if (ereg("[^0-9]",$phone)) {

$result_sql_daily = mysql_fetch_array($run_sql_daily);

Here's the code for showing me whats in the result array:

for ($count_daily=0; $count_daily < count($result_sql_daily);
$count_daily++)
 {
 echo "";
 echo "$result_sql_daily[$count_daily]";
 }
exit;


Does anyone out there know why it only prints one line of the table?
It's a line in the middle of the table, it's not the first line, it's
not the last line, it's in the middle of about 25 lines.

Is this not the proper way to back up tables in a database?  I'd like a
back up copy of my tables on CD-ROM and I thought once this prints out
correctly I'd just have it print to a text file and then place the text
file on a cd

Thanks,
Roger

Thank you! This works fine. I can use this for reading the HTTP-Status.

[PHP] forcing a reload from a redirect

[Mike Scalora]

I have two pages, foo.php and bar.php. bar.php redirects the user to foo.php
with the following code:

 header("Location: http://".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] .
dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']) . "foo.php");

Normally, I want the browser to cache foo.php, it's content is fairly
static. But, bar.php makes changes that will cause foo.php to change. How do
I force foo.php to reload from the server whne I do this redirect? I've seen
code that adds a random number as a search string on the end of the URL, but
I want to avaoid that if possible.

RE: [PHP] Using include() or require() with PDF module

[Daevid Vincent]

Two things come to mind... 
First, make sure the file is indeed being included/required and you don't
have your paths messed up.

Second, make sure you have the PDF stuff compiled into PHP.
Make a page with  as the only thing in it, then load it
in your web browser and find the words "PDF" in there.

I've not used PDF myself, so that's about the extent of my help. Sorry.

RE: [PHP] Mac IE File download problem - any solutions?

[Jennifer Goodie]

This is not a MAC IE problem, it is the way browsers work.  If the MIME type
is mapped to an application, the browser will launch the application.  IE
does it inline, while Netscape tends to launch it separately.

You can send false headers with a made up type and a missing file extension,
but then the browser will not know what type of file it is and the save as
is harder for the user as they have to put the right extension on.  It is a
work around, but a really poor one.

header("Content-disposition: filename=$filenamewithoutextension");
header("Content-type:reallyreallyreallybigcsv");

Hi Daniel,

I believe this is a browser setting, is it not?  Using the default setup of
Explorer 5.2 for Mac, a clicked .mov file will play in IE.

To change this behavior, go to Explorer > Preferences... > File Helpers,
select QuickTime Movie and click Change... then switch Handling from "View
with Browser" to "Save to File".

I would be surprised if a file header could override this.. but if you find
a way, please let us know!

    or full path must including).
   As of PHP 4.2.0, this directive can take a *semi-colon separated
   path* in a similar fashion to the include_path
    directive, rather than
   just a single directory.

[PHP] Checking for existence of file

[Verdon Vaillancourt]

HI :)

I've got a function (crude but works) that checks for a value in the url and
then I call an image based on that value.

if (isset($_GET['menu'])) {
$img_pick = substr($_GET['menu'],0,1);
} else { $img_pick = "1"; }

echo "";

What I'd like to do is check the directory 'images' first to see if
'mast_$img_pick.jpg' exists and if it doesn't, call a different image such
as 'mast_default.jpg'. I'm sure this isn't hard, I'm just not sure how to
start.

TIA, verdon

[PHP] again: IIS vs Apache

[matiasz]

Hi, I'm new here. I imagine that this question was made a lot of times in this 
list, but reading the archive i couldnt find a recently answer to this 
question: 

   I want to convince my new lab partners (and director) to migrate our PHP 
site (over 1000 hits a day) to Apache/Linux. Could you give me some actual 
arguments or site to tell them? Is the Apache PHP module really better  than 
the isapi module for IIS.

Hi, I have this ereg to turn URLs into links:

... found it in the manual i think, or maybe on weberdev.com examples


Anyhoo, it places the whole link in between the  and , which
is fine for short links, but on longer links (in my case, around 60+
chars), it messes with my table or CSS layout.

So, I'd like to subtr() the 2nd capture part down to 55 chars or
something IF it's longer than 60, and append a ... to it.

ANY ideas on how this is done?  Or is this beyond regexp??

On *nix, rename will fail if source and destination are different file
systems.

To test this :

 copy($swapfile,$filename);
 clearstatcache();

 $src=stat($swapfile);
 $dst=stat($filename);

 printf('Source: %d, Dest: %d %s filesystem\n',
  $src[0], $dst, ($src[0] == $dst[0] ? 'same' : 'different'));

Re: [PHP] Please point me in the right direction

[John Hicks]

PHP is extremely easy for an experienced programmer to pick 
up quickly (assuming you know the basics of tcp/ip and web 
architecture).

But experienced programmers also know the importance of the 
KISS principle. Why rewrite a system when you can port it?

Kylix allows you to use Delphi on Linux. If it limits you 
to using Redhat 7.2, that should be no problem provided you 
apply all relevant security patches (which Redhat is pretty 
good at providing).

In the meantime, start learning PHP. It is object oriented 
in its own way. When you are ready for a complete rewrite 
of the system, PHP may be all you need. A hybrid CGI/PHP 
system sounds unecessarily messy. (PHP can run in a CGI 
environment but is usually run in the more efficient Apache 
module environment.)

The above is just my two cents' worth. I haven't used Kylix 
or Delphi, but believe both are descended from Borland's 
original (Turbo) Pascal. I've been programming since '72 
but am new to PHP. I've been extremely gratified by how 
easy it's been to put together a relatively sophisticated 
system for a client in just a month or two after struggling 
for months to get Java and JSP to do much simpler tasks.

You still have to call pconnect() on every page if you use it. It doesn't
leave it open for other requests, it leaves it open within the web server
program. pconnect() is only useful on certain OS using certain web servers.
Read the manual page on mysql_pconnect() for more information.

[PHP] Please point me in the right direction

[Jerry]

Hi All,
I have a CGI application written in Delphi web services and I want to port
it to the Linux environment. I was going to use Kylix but I'm concerned that
Borland isn't keeping up with the fast paced Linux development (ie they are
still on Redhat 7.2 and Redhat is about to release version 9.0 next month).

The current CGI is a little complicated and relies heavily on OOP data
structures. It processes the data then sends a stream to the web server for
display in the browser. It's very fast and I am happy with the performace,
but I must port it over to Linux.

As I am very unfamiliar with the PHP environment, can someone point in the
right direction? If I use PHP for the front-end, what is the best tool to
create the CGI? I was considering using Python, but would Pearl be better?

Any direction to get me started and headed in the right direction would be
very appreciated

Thanks,
Jerry

[PHP] Problem with file_exists()

[maillist]

Hi,

I've been reported a weird problem with one of the scripts that we have, which 
uses the file_exists() function. It returned true once, and then the query 
ran again, and it reported false, on the same file. This was true for a lot 
of files in the same directory, but only over a cerain period of time. As I 
had time to try to investigate, the problem stopped occuring. This script has 
been used for a long time, and this is the first time that this has happened. 
I've checked some of the files that they were having problems with, and they 
have not been modified for a few days, so I doubt they were locked or 
anything like that. Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this? 
This is running Solaris 8, Apache 1.3.26 with PHP 4.2.1 compiled into it. 
I've also checked file permissions and they were all good. Any idea would be 
appreciated!

Thanks a lot,
Steve Johnson

[PHP] XSLT processing DocBook files -> FO

[Colin Viebrock]

I'm trying to automatically convert DocBook XML files into PDFs using
PHP and the XSLT extension.  First step is to convert them into FO, but
I'm running into trouble with this script:

   'USletter',
'page.orientation'  => 'portrait',
  );
  $html = xslt_process($xslt, $xml, $xsl, NULL, $args, $params);
  if (!$html) {
die('XSLT processing error: '.xslt_error($xslt));
  }
  xslt_free($xslt);
  echo $html;

  ?>

I get the following parse warnings, and the output error:

  Warning: Sablotron error on line 244: variable 'page.orientation' not
found in /home/cmv/www/doc/index.php on line 15
  Warning: Sablotron error on line 254: variable 'paper.type' not found

  Warning: Sablotron error on line 190: variable 'page.height' not found
in /home/cmv/www/doc/index.php on line 15

  XSLT processing error: variable 'page.height' not found

How do I pass those variables/parameters to the XSLT process?  Has
someone else had experience with this?

Re: [PHP] Changing variables in a text file

[Marek Kilimajer]

If you know what is suposed to be in the file you can simply build up a 
new file. If you don't know what is in there but only that you need to 
change this to that, use file functions and regexes. You might also 
consider using an array instead of plain variables, so your file will become

$config['var1']="";
$config['var2']="";
$config['template']="blue";
$config['anothervar']="foo";
This will make updates easier, as you know you only need to write 
everything in $config.

Re: [PHP] php regexp question

Just an idea:
In $string replace any occurence of ç to c, search for offsets of

offsets +strlen('francoise')) in the original string.

What do you mean with callback function?
I simply do it this way:
ob_start();
include('modules/'.$file);
$content=ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
which puts the contents of that file in $content.

hello,

I send a secure cookie an it should be available as varible

setcookie("pbas_usr", $row[usr], time()+600, "", "", 1);

but the varable is empty. If it send the header without secure flag the
cookie works well

setcookie("pbas_usr", $row[usr], time()+600);

Is there a special way to read out secure cookies?


THX,

Alex

Is your script running under https?

 From the docs (http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.setcookie.php):
"secure" indicates that the cookie should only be transmitted over a secure
HTTPS connection. When set to 1, the cookie will only be set if a secure
connection exists. The default is 0. 

Sorry if I'm OT here but you didn't mention https in your posting.

Re: [PHP] connecting to mysql db

[skate]

leaving the connection open creates security questions, and also leaves resources 
open, what if a user closes his browser window, how do you know to close the 
connection?

if you really want to make it simple, you can edit your php.ini to have the username 
and password as default in there, but again, this can be a security risk.

i'm afraid the best way is to include connection code on every page...

This is the only way I know and probably the safest. This way you know there
is connectivity because it is loaded rigth at the beginning.

But is it always necessary to do this or can you open this connection once
and have it open throughout the next few pages (or as needed) and then close
it?

Yes, you do have to connect to the database in every script that needs to
access it. Usually this is done at the start of the script, along with any
calls to session_start() and other "global" stuff.

For convenience and ease of maintenance, however, it makes good sense to
write a separate file that does nothing but connect to the database. This
separate file then needs to be attached to the running script via include(),
at any point before the first call to the database.

No dude. Create a file called whatever.inc that includes the code that you

This really doesn't explain me much. I mean the difference between having
that code on every page or calling it from an external page doesn't tell me
if it is realy necessary to do it all the time. I guess I am looking for
more generic explanation of the whole process rather than what you said.

However I appreciate it much, since it seems to be much better coding
