Hi all
I have a rather strange problem with php auth:
i want to authenticate a user through php and validate it through
imap_open function (to access his email).
I send WWW-Authenticate header like this:
header(WWW-Authenticate: Basic Realm=\Private\);
After, i check for isset($PHP_AUTH_USER) and validate it through PHP.
Can anyone tell me why, for a real user (it really exists), the
authentication simply fails and asks me again for a username and password,
without even leaving the authenticate intrinsic routine (the script just
keeps telling me that the auth is failed, but WITHOUT running imap_open or
any other part of the script).
Why is that?
If anyone has the time and the understanding, i can post the code
fragment.
Thanks

I need some help with an algorithm that I'm writing to build a categories
array, based on the mysql table.
the table goes by:
id_category, name_category, parent_category
and with a simple query, with a group by and after doing a little for(;;)
processing, I get the following array..
categ | parent| num_childs
null 1 1
null 4 0
1 5 2
5 6 0
5 7 0
well... I have a function called CatName($id) that returns me the name of
that giving its ID... so, I want from that array build a new array like this:
[0][id] = 1
[0][name] = Electronics
[1][id] = 5
[1][name] = Electronics/Palm
[2][id] = 6
[2][name] = Electronis/Palm/WindowsCE
[3][id] = 7
[3][name] = Electronis/Palm/PalmOS
[3][id] = 4
[3][name] = Food
preety nasty hun? I know its something recursive... but I can't figure out
how to walk trough the array to get this kind of output...
any help will be welcome..
thanks...

[PHP] dynamic menu possible?
Hi all. I was wondering if a situation I'll describe below is possible. If it is, I'm hoping someone could point me to the topics I would need to study to learn how to do it. I hate to say that right now I don't have the time to read the Manual or any books cover-to-cover to figure it out...but I do want to learn how to do things on my own. So if someone could just tell me what the items I'd need to study are called, I'd really appreciate it. What I want to do is have a drop-down menu where the options are files located in a folder on the server that changes as items are added to or removed. Then the user can select an item from the menu, submit, and that page will load. Did that make sense? So I have 1.htm and 2.htm and 3.htm in a folder. A selectable menu reads the folder and lists those three files as options. The user can click on it and submit and that page will load. And if I add 4.htm, the menu will add that to the drop down on its own. That that's not possible, how close can I get to something like that? An example of something close to that I found on www.megatokyo.com . They have a dropdown menu where a user selects an item and gets sent to that page. A URL from one attempts shows as http://www.megatokyo.com/index.php?date=2001-09-04 . How is that done? Again, if I could just be pointed to the related PHP concepts I'll take it from there. Thanks!

Re: [PHP] Parsing html table into MySQL
wait a minute... do you want to parse the HTML to get the values to populate a mysql table, or do you have this table in another DB and just want it copied to your mysql one?? If it is the former, you'll some very hardcore regex work to be done... I once did this... it is very stressing work... - you need to analyse the HTML document and find patterns that indicate 'begin of row' 'begin and end of column' and 'end of row', 'end of table' - these patterns must be unique or you'll find yourself looking for it indefinetly and going into an endless loop - do a giant loop that only ends on 'end of table' and grab the values within this patterns... the code to get this done is huge (not complex), and (I expect) will be only used once, right?

[PHP] PHP vs. PERL (Functional Comparison)??
Hi; I am planning to implement a new site which will be using mysql db heavily, and I am in the middle of (and stuck:) deciding what I should use for implementation. I would definitely prefer Java Servlets, but it is very expensive to host servlets, so I am only comparing PHP vs. Perl. I have been hearing very good things about PHP for a long time, and I started reading the manual/tutorial posted on php.net. To be honest, I didn't see much difference from perl. It is almost identical (I have to admit, there are some practical advantages, but not a huge difference), even the syntax is almost same to perl. Comparing basic functional stuff: 1.Speed: If you use mod_perl or fastcgi kind of deals (which are based on threadding instead of forking), I don't think PHP is considerably faster than perl? Is that the case? 2.Database Connection: What is the BIG advantage of PHP here? Using DBI packages for perl, and fastcgi for db connection pooling, you can achieve the same thing, I guess.

[PHP] Comining variables into a single string
Greetings to All: I'm inexperienced, although enthusiastic about using PHP. I want to write data more effectively to a file.

Re: [PHP] PHP vs. PERL (Functional Comparison)??
On Sun, 16 Sep 2001, Bora Paksoy wrote: Hi; I am planning to implement a new site which will be using mysql db heavily, and I am in the middle of (and stuck:) deciding what I should use for implementation. I would definitely prefer Java Servlets, but it is very expensive to host servlets, so I am only comparing PHP vs. Perl. Why on earth would you prefer java servlets? I have been hearing very good things about PHP for a long time, and I started reading the manual/tutorial posted on php.net. To be honest, I didn't see much difference from perl. It is almost identical (I have to admit, there are some practical advantages, but not a huge difference), even the syntax is almost same to perl. PHP is a much cleaner language than Perl, ie, it doesn't have the same abiguities that plague Perl (print reverse split /\s+/, H P A J;) and is much more akin to C in many ways. Also, PHP was written and intended for the web (it can be used in other veins as well), therefore its imho much easier to do web programming with php. Comparing basic functional stuff: 1.Speed: If you use mod_perl or fastcgi kind of deals (which are based on threadding instead of forking), I don't think PHP is considerably faster than perl? Is that the case? The speed is comparable between the two languages, but then again if you count all the extra Perl libraries you have to call in to achieve the same results, php starts to win. FYI, JSP is the slowest to my knowledge. 2.Database Connection: What is the BIG advantage of PHP here? Using DBI packages for perl, and fastcgi for db connection pooling, you can achieve the same thing, I guess. It just looks like PHP has some of these libraries embedded in the core language, but the idea is same--implementing the native db protocol over sockets? The PHP way is slightly faster, that's it though (yeah, yeah, I know database independence, but if you want your code to run with any speed you'll tune your sql for the individual database anyway, loosing the necessary portability). 3.Shared Memory, global variables, etc: I was expecting a better interface for this in PHP, and I was really disappointed to see that developers have to use O/S level shared memory. First of all, this is not available on Windows And, it is kind of messy and hard to use, especially when you compare this to Java's static variables. No, its not available on Windows, but then again, why on earth would you want to use Windows? ;) If you really need shm on windows, submit a patch, hint, its just a mmap() :) The same applies for perl btw... I have a feeling your not talking about Shared memory by the way, but rather sessions, which you can do via the built-in PHP sessioning support, see below. Shared memory is usually only a good idea (outside of the session scope) when you want to communicate with other programs/processes. Using it on high traffic sites is also not a good idea. 4.Session Management: If you use files to manage sessions, same thing can be achieved in perl. Regarding in memory session management, as far as I know, FastCGI can share variables among sessions, so it shouldn't be hard to write a session manager in perl as well. You can use Files or SHM management, or write your own custom session backend using for example MySQL. 5.Architecture: I couldn't find any doc about how PHP works. And any answer to important questions, like -How does compilation process work? Does the PHP engine compile htmls first time a request is made to that html and use that compiled code later on(just like JSPs), or does it compile everytime? Is PHP engine an interpreter, jvm-like byte-code generator/executer or a compiler? No. Its compile and execute everytime, however if you use one of the Cache's mentioned below its simply an execute each time. JSP btw is slower despite the fact that it compiles the stuff ahead of time. -How does threadding work? How can you cache stuff, etc.? you can cache your scripts using the commercial (but higher quality) Zend Cache (www.zend.com) or the (free) APC Cache (apc.communityconnect.com). -What is the generic lifecycle of a request/response? zend.com should have some information on this. 6. Embedding scripts in HTML: Well, I mean, this is similar to JSP, but what the hell, you can use AA . AA; syntax and embed any string you want at any point by mixing and matching HTML and perl code. I mean, yeah PHP is easier, but it is not considerably easier, I believe. Yes, but do you want your web designer going through your perl code and messing with that section alone? Its much easier to maintain the PHP code in this respect (you could use a templating engine in Perl of course, but that would slow your code down another notch). Also, with Perl HERE blocks
Re: [PHP] PHP vs. PERL (Functional Comparison)??
1.Speed: If you use mod_perl or fastcgi kind of deals (which are based on threadding instead of forking), I don't think PHP is considerably faster than perl? Is that the case? Threading instead of forking? None of these do either. Apache is a pre-forking multi-process server and both PHP and mod_perl are part of these pre-forked processes. Neither mod_perl nor PHP do any threading nor forking. 2.Database Connection: What is the BIG advantage of PHP here? Using DBI packages for perl, and fastcgi for db connection pooling, you can achieve the same thing, I guess. It just looks like PHP has some of these libraries embedded in the core language, but the idea is same--implementing the native db protocol over sockets? No difference. 3.Shared Memory, global variables, etc: I was expecting a better interface for this in PHP, and I was really disappointed to see that developers have to use O/S level shared memory. First of all, this is not available on Windows And, it is kind of messy and hard to use, especially when you compare this to Java's static variables. Again, the architectural difference makes this a lot easier to do in a single-process JVM scenario. Note that such a single-process JVM architecture which maintains static objects is very hard to scale cleanly. 4.Session Management: If you use files to manage sessions, same thing can be achieved in perl. Regarding in memory session management, as far as I know, FastCGI can share variables among sessions, so it shouldn't be hard to write a session manager in perl as well. Probably true. 5.Architecture: I couldn't find any doc about how PHP works. And any answer to important questions, like -How does compilation process work? Does the PHP engine compile htmls first time a request is made to that html and use that compiled code later on(just like JSPs), or does it compile everytime? Is PHP engine an interpreter, jvm-like byte-code generator/executer or a compiler? -How does threadding work? How can you cache stuff, etc.? -What is the generic lifecycle of a request/response? PHP is a 2-stage interpreted language. First pass generates opcodes, second pass executes the opcodes. Various add-on caches and optimizers can cache the opcodes and thus skip the interpreter step. Doesn't usually win you a whole lot unless you have quite complex logic in your pages though. The interpreter is pretty fast. There is no threading in PHP. The web server provides the base thread/process architecture. The lifecycle of a request/response matches the lifecycle of an HTTP request/response. 6. Embedding scripts in HTML: Well, I mean, this is similar to JSP, but what the hell, you can use AA . AA; syntax and embed any string you want at any point by mixing and matching HTML and perl code. I mean, yeah PHP is easier, but it is not considerably easier, I believe. Probably not. I have been searching the internet to find some serious comparisons, but all I found was a stupid page which compares the syntax rather than functionality. As I said, I really need to start developing soon, and I would appreciate comments regarding this issue. Basically any language can be used to write web apps. There is nothing in PHP you can't do in Perl, ASP, Cold Fusion, Python or JSP. PHP just happens to package things together in a easy to comprehend way and everything you read about PHP is geared towards the Web problem whereas in the case of more general-purpose scripting languages it can be confusing trying to figure out how to approach the web problem. -Rasmus -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Fwd: Re: [PHP] Parsing html table into MySQL
ok... so the hard way.
I'm no regex wizard myself... as a matter of fact I suck at it.
I do it the hard (old C like) way.
You have to find some chunks of HTML that determine and end of the data in
the table and use them to walk trough the doc fetching what you want... let
me give an example...
html
table
trtdfont face=arialTitle/font/tdtdfont
face=arialPrice/font/td/tr
trtdfont face=arialXXX/font/tdtdfont
face=arial10.00/font/td/tr
trtdfont face=arialYYY/font/tdtdfont
face=arial25.2/font/td/tr
/table
/html
I know that with regex this would be a lot easir but you can do this:
$fp=fopen(htmldoc,r);
while(!feof($fp))
{
// lets find the first row of DATA (the first were only titles)
while(!strstr(fgets($fp,256),/tr);
//now we are the first line
while(!strstr(fgets($fp,256),/table)
{
// see where I'm getting at?
}
}
No I need to copy the rows values from HTML table you can see it in exlamle
http://66.96.230.191/table.html This is a live score system which updates
every 2 min, So I need to get these values and parse it in MySQL after that
I neeed to get some element from my database and show in my page..

If it is the former, you'll some very hardcore regex work to be done... I
once did this... it is very stressing work...
- you need to analyse the HTML document and find patterns that indicate
'begin of row' 'begin and end of column' and 'end of row', 'end of
table' -
these patterns must be unique or you'll find yourself looking for it
indefinetly and going into an endless loop - do a giant loop that only
ends
on 'end of table' and grab the values within this patterns... the code to
get this done is huge (not complex), and (I expect) will be only used
once,
right?

RE: [PHP] limiting rows and pages like google
How about limiting results?
eg
limit the return page value after a certain number (say 10) to every 5
pages, then 50 pages a la google.
Page
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 ..15 ..20 ..50 ..100
This can be done relatively easily
eg (untested)
for ($count=1;$count=$pages;$count++) { // loop thru
//set modifier for page display
if ($count 10)$iMod = 1;
elseif ($count 50) $iMod = 5;
else $iMod=50;
if ($count % $iMod==0) //Are we on an exact iMod boundary?
print a href=\$PHP_SELF?offset=$count\$i/a nbsp; \n;

Subject: Re: [PHP] limiting rows and pages like google
It's not too hard to do the next/previous through all your results, as
has been shown by several people. What is a little trickier, at least
when using mysql and trying to take advantage of the limit clause, is
how to display how many results you have (ie 1 to 10 of 107 results). If
you use the limit, you can't get the total number of rows, without doing
a second search sans limit. It's also harder to do the next link,
because you don't necessarily know if there are any more rows (imagine
you are displaying 10 rows at a time, you are on page 3 and there are 30
total rows). Conversely, if you do a single query without the limit,
then you're doing a slower search (limiting a search is way faster), and
I'm not sure of the implications of the full result set residing
serverside - maybe higher memory requirements. So what do people do to
take advantage of limit? Two queries or a single query? Any other
solutions? Any more insights on how limit works?

Re: [PHP] PHP vs. PERL (Functional Comparison)??
Why on earth would you prefer java servlets? Hmm... Let's see;Java is a full-fledge, totally OOP and awesome programming language but not a scripting language. Speed (will be mentioning this later), having total control over whatever you want (exception handling, db pooling, caching, syncrhonization, threadding, etc. etc.), ease of use, etc. etc. I mean, come on;) veins as well), therefore its imho much easier to do web programming with php. That is what I saw, but as I said, I didn't see a lot of difference between perl and php, I mean, C++ and perl are very different, likewise java and perl or other languages, but PHP has a very similar syntax. FYI, JSP is the slowest to my knowledge. The first request is slow since JSPs are compiled into servlets (java classes)... But, then it is not bad... In fact, I saw some comparisons showing that servlets are kicking ass! But, again, I mean, this all depends on how you design/configure the system, one simple example:java used to crap out (before 1.2, don't know the latest situation, but heard that it is better) after 40-50 threads per jvm, so if you have more than 40-50 concurrent requests, starting couple of servlet engines on different jvms and using apache dispatching improves the speed a lot! Likewise, tricks like using caching, staying away from classic traps (i.e. using StringBuffers instead of Strings when needed), minimizing garbage collection, etc. etc. Also, with the introduction of JIT and hotspot capable JREs, java is doing pretty well these days...You can check comparisons at rasin servlet engine page. No, its not available on Windows, but then again, why on earth would you want to use Windows? ;) Same here;) I am supposed to implement this sytem on windows 2000...But I totally agree! I would definitely prefer linux or other unix systems over windows... If you really need shm on windows, submit a patch, hint, its just a mmap() :) Well, what I meant was something like ease of sharing data in java (using static variables) and dealing with synchronization is extremely easy in java... Also, FastCGI is not that hard as far as I could see, but I am not an expert in that area;) You can use Files or SHM management, or write your own custom session backend using for example MySQL. Using a database in the backhand is what huge sites are doing, but they have huge boxes to run these databases and very fast network infrastructure. Do you think overhead of serializing/de-serializing session for every request via the database is a lot? Files again is??? I don't know... As you specified SHM is not very nice either (dealing with synchronization might be messy). No. Its compile and execute everytime ??? Don't you think using perl and printing out html from the code is faster than this? I mean, parsing the whole html doesn't seem very good???Actually, this is what I was scared of. I mean, for example say you have an html that consists of blocks... Making every block an include is clean, but this time, php engine has to read all of these includes, and parse the html+php and compile/run php everytime a request is made??? I am not sure about this? Yes, but do you want your web designer going through your perl code Hmmm, good point, hehehehe... Thanks a lot for your time and I appreciate your comments.

Re: [PHP] PHP vs. PERL (Functional Comparison)??
Threading instead of forking? None of these do either. Apache is a pre-forking multi-process server and both PHP and mod_perl are part of these pre-forked processes. Neither mod_perl nor PHP do any threading nor forking. ??? I didn't get this? Aren't these pre-forked processes handle requests using threads internally? Say you configure apache to pre-fork 5 server processes, what you are saying implies that you can only handle 5 concurrent requests?? can you please explain this more? Again, the architectural difference makes this a lot easier to do in a single-process JVM scenario. Note that such a single-process JVM architecture which maintains static objects is very hard to scale cleanly. Actually, as far as I know, you can configure tomcat or other servlet engines to start multiple servlet engines (JVMs) and the dispatcher code makes sure that every user goes to the same JVM for subsequent requests. So, you can scale with this architecture... The lifecycle of a request/response matches the lifecycle of an HTTP request/response. Actually, I was asking the low-level information, I mean something like web server receives the request, hands this over to mod_php, that requests a thread from the worker threads, so on so forth...

Re: [PHP] Performance: PHP vs. Visual Basic
Much as I don't like to defend MS, I'll take a stab here. By 40-50 people in an office, I presume you're talking about an intranet of some type - 40-50 aren't constantly hitting it (meaning 40-50 requests per second all the time), but 40-50 are using it throughout the day for various tasks. You don't give the machine specs, but I'd hazard to say, if it's moderate equipment, that there's some DB optimization (or VB optimization) that could be done. 40 people lightly hitting a machine shouldn't cause much of a problem regardless of language used, unless there's some extremely bad coding going on. Are you closing DB connections? Are you avoiding putting objects in session and/or application scope? Are the DB queries optimized properly (proper indices on tables, etc)? Those are just a few things I'd look for. Yeah it'd be great to have you switch to PHP, but some optimization issues are universal, and if it's written poorly in one language, chances are it'll be written poorly in another. Regardless of this, we still recommened PHP to most clients because of the cost issue as well. However, since you've already paid for this software you're running (right?) it's probably worth it to take a while to optimize what you've got first.

Then, check and see how you are connecting to the DB... I think I can safely say, that if you switch to PHP/MySQL, that using MySQL native libs to connect to the database are fastest... But I have been wrong in the past... -Original Message- From: Michael Kimsal [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, September 16, 2001 11:54 PM To: Masami Kawakami Cc: php forum Subject: Re: [PHP] Performance: PHP vs. Visual Basic Much as I don't like to defend MS, I'll take a stab here. By 40-50 people in an office, I presume you're talking about an intranet of some type - 40-50 aren't constantly hitting it (meaning 40-50 requests per second all the time), but 40-50 are using it throughout the day for various tasks. You don't give the machine specs, but I'd hazard to say, if it's moderate equipment, that there's some DB optimization (or VB optimization) that could be done. 40 people lightly hitting a machine shouldn't cause much of a problem regardless of language used, unless there's some extremely bad coding going on. Are you closing DB connections? Are you avoiding putting objects in session and/or application scope? Are the DB queries optimized properly (proper indices on tables, etc)? Those are just a few things I'd look for. Yeah it'd be great to have you switch to PHP, but some optimization issues are universal, and if it's written poorly in one language, chances are it'll be written poorly in another. Regardless of this, we still recommened PHP to most clients because of the cost issue as well. However, since you've already paid for this software you're running (right?) it's probably worth it to take a while to optimize what you've got first.

Re: [PHP] PHP vs. PERL (Functional Comparison)??
I mean, for example say you have an html that consists of blocks... Making every block an include is clean, but this time, php engine has to read all of these includes, and parse the html+php and compile/run php everytime a request is made??? I am not sure about this? I wouldn't say it was clean to split everything out into separate files. I tend to do something more like: ? include 'logic.php' ? HTML tags tags tags ? my_func() ? More tags ? another_func() ? More tags ? footer() ? ie. don't necessarily use 1 file per block, create functions that are defined in a single file and call those instead of including a new file. If you really do want to separate it, have a look at a cacheing templating system like Smarty which lets you keep this per-file separation but it caches the combined logic. http://www.phpinsider.com/php/code/Smarty/ -Rasmus -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: [PHP] Performance: PHP vs. Visual Basic
It may not be a performance thing based on software in use, it could be coding problems with the current software. If you are having problems with 40 - 50 users, you may want to look at where things are locking up. Table locking because of badly designed update queries can freeze a good system because of contentions. How do you handle concurrent locking - what does your code look like for the initial 20 seconds to load page / slow loading pages? Run some performance monitoring on sql server, it has good tools for this, as does win2k. How much ram do you have? sql server eats ram. (buy more, depending on whether your monitoring tells you its needed - look at paging). There are lots of nt tuning faq's out there. Check what you have before dumping it for something else. I learnt from someone once its better to find out and understand the problem than to avoid it. It may come back and bite you. That said, php is more scalable than vb (flamebait), but its equally easy to write bad code in both. SQL Server is a bit of a behemoth, but feed it nicely (ram), and it generally behaves (*unless you are russian nuclear materials database admins - see slashdot for more.)

echo HTML? I do this:
? php stuff..?
HTML stuff
? more php stuff ?
I drop out of PHP mode to display raw HTML. If I have a lot of HTML with
a lot of PHP variables tossed in, I do:
?
$test = 'test';
$one = 'one';
echo EOF
This is a $test.
And here is another $one.
EOF;
..more php code...
?
I meant to say, in your functions, do you use the same as above echo EOF ...
I try to avoid having my functions generate HTML. But yes, when they do I
use the same approach. You can have functions that look like this:
? function foo() {?
HTML Stuff
? } ?
That is, a function that does nothing but output HTML.

For instance, one such example would be http://www.800.com/prod.asp?P=5261 I do not understand as I can read from numerous other sites. Why can I see the above site and others in Internet Explorer and Netscape, but PHP is not able to read from that file? And yes, I can read from many other ASP, JSP, and PHP pages, so this is not the problem that I know of. Any help appreciated.
