Hi there,
Why is it that if I try to evaluate an index of an array returned by a

thats hillarious, i literally brought this up at the office like 2 days ago.
ill tell you why its really lame (imho), because php5 supports syntax
like this:
function someFunc() {
return date_create();
}
echo someFunc()-format('Y-m-d');
that is, it allows you to chain a method invocation to the invocation of a
function
if the function returns an object.
-nathan
So, make all your functions return objects, and have the object have a
method called get or index or something like that that returns the index
requested. :)
Better yet, make everything an object: String, Numeric, Array, etc
and call it Java ;)

Make sure you change the permissions on the directory in which uploads are saved to be non-readable by anyone (including yourself, in case the scripts are suexec'd). For example, if the directory in which you save uploaded files is uploads/ then just do this (on a *nix box): chmod 300 uploads That way, files can still be saved to the directory (which requires write and execute privileges), but the files cannot be read or executed via the web, and directory listing is implicitly denied for all protocols (and local access) to anyone except root. To best-protect your configuration scripts, though, always place them outside of the web-accessible directories (for example, /home/user/config/) and include them properly. Also, make sure they are read-only (chmod 400, or chmod 444 if not using suexec). Beyond that, code obfuscation using Zend Optimizer (as was suggested) or an alternative would be your best bet.

Re: [PHP] Determine which are user defined keys?
joe and 0 are keys that I created whereas the key 1 and 2 are
keys assigned by PHP when the array was created. When iterating
through an array, is there a way to determine which were generated by
PHP? I can't rely on whether or not the key is an integer because
it's quite possible that such a key was user generated. I've gone
through the docs and based on what I've read, I don't think something
like this is possible but I'm hoping that's not the case.
Any pointers?
explain what your trying to achieve and why. because it seems like your
'requirement' is a result of tackling the problem from the wrong end.
array_merge() clobbers the value of a particular key if that key
exists in any of the arrays that appear later in the argument list for
that function. If I want it so that I can merge arrays but make it so
that all the values are retained, I need to write a function myself.
So basically I end up with something that approximates:
function array_merge_retain( $arr1, $arr2 ) {
$retval = array();
foreach( $arr1 as $key = $val ) {
$retval[$key][] = $val;
}
foreach( $arr2 as $key = $val ) {
$retval[$key][] = $val;
}
return $retval;
}
(there would be a lot of other stuff going on, error checking and
such, but the above is just bare bones).
What that gives me is an array where the values for keys that appear
in both arrays are retained. The above function is all well and fine,
I suppose, but when the keys were created by PHP, I don't really care
about retaining the key. If the key was created by PHP, i'd just do
an array_push() instead of explicitly defining the key, as I am in the
above function. That way, in the end, the merged array would contain
arrays for values for only those keys that were user defined.
Consider the following example:
$myArr1 = array( 'joe' = 'bob', 0 = 'briggs', 'whatever', 'whereever');
$myArr2 = array( 'joe' = 'that', 0 = 'other', 'this', 'there');
the values 'whatever' and 'this' both have a key of 1 while 'wherever'
and 'there' both have a key of 2. When merged, I envision the new
array looking something like this:
Array
(
[joe] = array( bob, that )
[0] = array( briggs, other )
[1] = whatever
[2] = whereever
[3] = other
[4] = there
)
but my function above would create an array that looks like this:
Array
(
[joe] = array( bob, that )
[0] = array( briggs, other )
[1] = array( whatever, this )
[2] = array( whereever, there )
)
perhaps I am approaching this a$$backwards. I just wanted to keep the
merged array in more or less the same form as the original arrays in
the sense that those values that didn't originally have a user defined
key are not grouped together like those that did originally have a
user defined key.
thnx,
Christoph

That is one more reason to not use SMTP connections for queueing many messages. If you use sendmail or equivalent and the MTA is properly configured, there will be no SMTP disconnect and reconnects to deal with. Using SMTP is simply a bad idea unless your MTA is in a separate machine. Personally I use qmail. It never establishes SMTP connections when you are queueing messages.

Re: [PHP] Determine which are user defined keys?
Christoph Boget schreef: joe and 0 are keys that I created whereas the key 1 and 2 are ... php doesn't differentiate between numeric [integer] strings and actual integers with regard to array keys. herein lies the 'problem' ) but my function above would create an array that looks like this: Array ( [joe] = array( bob, that ) [0] = array( briggs, other ) [1] = array( whatever, this ) [2] = array( whereever, there ) ) perhaps I am approaching this a$$backwards. I just wanted to keep the merged array in more or less the same form as the original arrays in the sense that those values that didn't originally have a user defined key are not grouped together like those that did originally have a user defined key. where do these arrays come from? why is it important to differentiate between 'user keys' and 'php keys'? if the difference is important maybe you need to think about creating a different data structure to start with e.g. $a = array( array(key = joe, val = bob), array(key = 0, val = briggs), array(key = null, val = whatever), array(key = null, val = whatever), ); $b = array( array(key = joe, val = that), array(key = 0, val = other), array(key = null, val = this), array(key = null, val = there), ); $r = array(); foreach(array($a, $b) as $arr) foreach($arr as $tmp) if (!is_null($tmp[key])) $r[$tmp[key]][] = $tmp[val]; else $r[] = $tmp[val]; foreach($r as $k = $v) if (is_array($v) count($v) == 1) $r[$k] = $v[0]; var_dump($r); still it would help if you could explain why you need this, and why you have 'inappropriate' data structures to start with ... as I mentioned already, you can't differentiate between an automatically created numeric index and a user defined associative index that happens to be equivalent to an integer. thnx, Christoph -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] Re: SMTP vs mail()
Hello, on 01/11/2008 06:03 PM Richard Heyes said the following: If you have your sendmail equivalent program properly configured, no SMTP connection is used when queueing messages using the sendmail program. What about when you take into consideration this program could be sending 1000's of emails, say, 100 per SMTP connection? That is even worse. Keep in mind that the SMTP server of sendmail or equivalent MTA, ends up calling the sendmail program for each individual message that it receives. It is the same operation, except that you are communication directly with the sendmail program with pipes when you use mail(), and when you use SMTP it uses SMTP connection that triggers sendmail program calls to actually queue the message instead of attempting to to deliver it. The bottom line, if you use qmail, postfix, or sendmail configured to queue the messages (instead of attempting to deliver them) you will always be much faster queueing messages. Just watch out your server disk space and CPU when you are attempting to deliver too many messages. -- Regards, Manuel Lemos PHP professionals looking for PHP jobs http://www.phpclasses.org/professionals/ PHP Classes - Free ready to use OOP components written in PHP http://www.phpclasses.org/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

No brainer, SMTP will almost certainly be faster. My mailing list system (written in PHP obviously) can dump 600k customised emails to the local SMTP server in a couple of hours.

How much slower will depend a lot on how you have configured sendmail, but it's never going to be faster than a socket connection to the local SMTP server. That is not true. SMTP connections are much slower than calling the sendmail program because calling sendmail uses pipes to communicate and SMTP requires an TCP connection, even if it is to the same machine. Your problem is that you have sendmail in the default configuration, which makes it attempt to deliver the messages when you call it. That is why it was taking too long to send all your messages. You need to configure it to queue the messages locally, instead of attempting to deliver right away. One solution is to use a better MTA like qmail or postfix. If you are stuck with sendmail and you cannot change its default configuration, there are some options to configure it per delivery. Take a look at this message composing and sending package class. It provides some options to optimize the message delivery back end to speed up message queueing. The sendmail backend takes great advantage of these options.

[PHP] ldap_bind() issue
Hello,
I'm tasked with writing an application in PHP that will authenticate
against a known working LDAP server. I'm having some problems binding
against that LDAP server and cannot find the issue.
I can telnet to the LDAP server's IP and port:
telnet 12.34.56.78 636
Trying 12.34.56.78...
Connected to 12.34.56.78.
Escape character is '^]'.
^]
telnet quit
Connection closed.
So I have more or less ruled out any sort of networking issue.
But then when trying ldapsearch, this command is failing:
ldapsearch -h 12.34.56.78 -p 626 -v -W -X
dn:uid=username,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com
ldap_initialize( ldap://12.34.56.78:626 )
Enter LDAP Password:
ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s: Can't contact LDAP server (-1)
It could be that I'm not providing the correct options as I'm not
extremely familiar with ldapsearch.
And then the heart of the issue, this simple PHP script is also failing for me:
./ldap_test.php
ldap_create
ldap_url_parse_ext(LDAPS://ldap.example.com)
ldap_bind_s
ldap_simple_bind_s
ldap_sasl_bind_s

ldap_err2string
The contents of my PHP test script:
error_reporting( E_ALL );
ini_set( 'display_errors', 1 );
ldap_set_option( NULL, LDAP_OPT_DEBUG_LEVEL, 7 );
$c = ldap_connect( 'LDAPS://ldap.example.com', 636 ) or die( 'Could
not connect to LDAP server.' );
if( ldap_bind( $c, uid=username,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com, 'xxx' ) ){
echo 'success!';
} else {
echo 'failed to bind';
}
The PHP on my local Ubuntu box currently only has the --with-ldap
option configured as I'm trying to rule out other libraries that may
possibly be causing issues. Are there other dependencies I must build
into my PHP to connect using ldap_bind() ? I have experimented with
adding --with-openssl and --with-ldap-sasl support but neither
resolved my issue.
It's also worth mentioning I am building my PHP against the OpenLDAP
libraries provided in my Linux distro:
dpkg -l|grep ldap
ii ldap-utils 2.3.35-1ubuntu0.1
OpenLDAP utilities
ii libldap-2.3-0 2.3.35-1ubuntu0.1
OpenLDAP libraries
ii libldap2 2.1.30-13.4
OpenLDAP libraries
ii libldap2-dev 2.1.30-13.4
OpenLDAP development libraries
There are of course other ldap libraries available but I have no idea
if I need them or not. Seems everyone is building their PHP against
OpenLDAP so that's what I'm trying to use too.
I ran ldconfig after installing the above libraries and they seem to
be found with no problems during configuration and compilation.
Any idea what might be the problem or what else I can try? I've
already tried everything Google has to offer on the issue and am still
stuck.
Thanks,

Hello, on 01/11/2008 02:29 PM Richard Heyes said the following: Hi, Bearing in mind I haven't yet done any benchmarks, which do you think is faster - SMTP with multiple RCPT commands or the PHP mail() function (with it launching a separate sendmail process for each mail() function call)? It depends on the platform you are running PHP. There is a myth by which people believe that using mail() is slower than using SMTP connections. Some of those people using PHP on Windows (especially for development). On Windows, mail() uses SMTP connections. On Linux/Unix, mail() uses sendmail or equivalent programs. These programs use pipes to communicate, which are much faster than using SMTP TCP sockets. If you have your sendmail equivalent program properly configured, no SMTP connection is used when queueing messages using the sendmail program. -- Regards, Manuel Lemos PHP professionals looking for PHP jobs http://www.phpclasses.org/professionals/ PHP Classes - Free ready to use OOP components written in PHP http://www.phpclasses.org/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

No brainer, SMTP will almost certainly be faster. My mailing list system (written in PHP obviously) can dump 600k customised emails to the local SMTP server in a couple of hours. Doing the same with the mail command took over 24 hours. How much slower will depend a lot on how you have configured sendmail, but it's never going to be faster than a socket connection to the local SMTP server. -Stut -- http://stut.net/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] Re: SMTP vs mail()
Hello, on 01/11/2008 08:26 PM Richard Lynch said the following: Bearing in mind I haven't yet done any benchmarks, which do you think is faster - SMTP with multiple RCPT commands or the PHP mail() function (with it launching a separate sendmail process for each mail() function call)? It depends on the platform you are running PHP. There is a myth by which people believe that using mail() is slower than using SMTP connections. Some of those people using PHP on Windows (especially for development). On Windows, mail() uses SMTP connections. On Linux/Unix, mail() uses sendmail or equivalent programs. These programs use pipes to communicate, which are much faster than using SMTP TCP sockets. If you have your sendmail equivalent program properly configured, no SMTP connection is used when queueing messages using the sendmail program. It may be possible to get sendmail to queue up the emails quickly, but they won't actually go out until much later, when the queue is run... That is exactly how it works when you send a message via sendmail SMTP server. The message is not delivered right away. If it was there is no way for the SMTP server to return so fast. If the SMTP server would wait to have the message delivered, it would take a long time. Which is exactly what happens when you call the sendmail program directly because its default delivery mode is to attempt to deliver the message right away. Anyway, that is irrelevant. What matters is that PHP is freed to send a message to the next recipient or to do other stuff. That is why configuring it to defer the delivery is a much better idea, than waiting for the message to be processed. Anyway, the actual delivery may take days to happen because often MTA needs to retry many times, especially now that many SMTP servers are using grey listing. It does not make much sense to wait for any delivery. Still, if you are concerned with waiting for the queue manage to process the messages, the delay between queue runs is configurable. If you are still not happy you can configure sendmail queue manager to keep running persistently. Still if you want the fastest delivery in the world, you can skip queueing and talk directly to the final SMTP server. That is what the direct_delivery mode of this SMTP class does. I use it for deliverying really urgent messages. It uses PHP only, there is no sendmail or any MTA in the middle. That is why it is the fastest solution. The class is the MTA itself. http://www.phpclasses.org/smtpclass Actually I use it with the wrapper of the MIME message class for SMTP because I still need to compose the messages conforming to the e-mail standards, and that is something hard to do by hand. http://www.phpclasses.org/mimemessage This class comes with mail() function replacement named urgent_mail() that uses the direct delivery mode. If the message is delivered to the final SMTP server for some reason, it drops it in the local MTA using the mail() function. For deliverying non-urgent messages, I use the default delivery method that uses the mail() function, which pipes messages to the MTA via the sendmail program or equivalent. Actually, I do not use sendmail. I use qmail which has its queue manager running all the time by default. Actually, I don't know if you can make the qmail queue manager run only once in a while like with sendmail. The class above also has a driver class to send message via sendmail. That driver provides options to tell sendmail to queue the messages, instead of waiting for the message delivery. Since I use qmail, it does not matter because it always queue the messages. And I'd be interested to hear of an actual side-by-side comparison on comparable hardware where sendmail using pipes beats SMTP on a LAN. I am not sure what you mean. You see, when a message is received by a SMTP server, it is passed also via pipes to the queue manager. The queue manager decides to send the message to the final SMTP server via the SMTP client or just drop it in a queue. So, the message goes to the same destination, except that using SMTP is the slow path, because the TCP overhead (think of DNS resolution, TCP opening sockets, waiting for connections, TCP packet information stuff, TCP error handling, TCP closing sockets, etc..). TCP connections are not a good idea for local connections. That is why under Linux/Unix there are Unix domain sockets which are basically pipes for inter-program communication. If your SMTP server is halfway across the planet, well, yeah, then you got a problem right there... What SMTP server? The final SMTP server associated to the domain of the recipient? You know you do not need a SMTP server to send messages. You just need an MTA (Mail Transfer Agent).

Also don't forget the part where you shouldn't disconnect and reconnect between mails sent. indeed but I have experienced situations where the SMTP server refuses more than X number of messages on any one connection ... which meant having to get the script to disconnect/reconnect every 200 (iirc) odd emails sent. Yep - exim by default has a setting of 100 emails per smtp connection. Try to send more than that and you'll get errors. -- Postgresql php tutorials http://www.designmagick.com/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Re: SMTP vs mail()
And I'd be interested to hear of an actual side-by-side comparison on comparable hardware where sendmail using pipes beats SMTP on a LAN. I don't have that but a comparison between the main open-source mta's (all out of the box, no optimizations for any of them) revealed sendmail sucks the most - it took almost 3x as long as postfix exim to send the same email to the same number of recipients (of course using the same script). qmail was in the middle. -- Postgresql php tutorials http://www.designmagick.com/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

I think we should be able to set (editing httpd.conf in apache) which folders are visible to any php script (including shell commands written in it). So, we could use Directory tags and set different rules to different sets of files. What do you think about it? I guess what you are looking for is mod_suphp.
