[PHP] phpMyAdmin

Steve, I think it's fairly standard that hosts provide you with a single database. A suggestion made with earlier thread, which I follow, is simply to make sure you set up your tables with names that clearly identify their function to you.

RE: [PHP] Sorting a multi-dimensional array
Ben, I don't know whether this is the most efficient way of doing things but when I've tried in the past to sort multidimensional arrays according to a number of values I've ended up giving up on the PHP functions and creating a temporary table in MySQL. You can then retrieve the information sorted by various fields defined in your query to the database. Others may well advise that this is not the best way of doing this but it's worked for me and has saved me beating myself up over not being able to get to grips with some complex functions!

[PHP] PHP IDEs
I know similar threads have come up on this in the past but I suspect it's a constantly changing picture. I recently saw a favourable review of Zend Studio 2.5 but wondered, out of curiosity, what sort of tools people use to develop PHP scripts and MySQL databases, tables and queries. Up until now, in an attempt to try and get to grips with these packages, I've been using a variety of text editors from VI to Kwrite. But I'm wondering whether it might speed up development times if I start to use one of the tools out there for working with PHP and MySQL. Any thoughts?

[PHP] array_splice()
Hi evey1,
sorry if I' ve already posted this :
in order to remove a whole array of values from a multidimensional array
I tried the following:
foreach($bkmks as $val) {
if($val[8]==$cod){
array_splice($bkmks,$val,1);
}
}It works fine for all the
arrays but the first ($bkmks[0])
When I try to remove that array this is what I get :
Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in .
after that if I read $bkmks all the arrays have been removed but
$bkmks[0]
(the array I wanted to remove)
Why ?
Is there a better way to do it ?
thanks again

HI, I'm using the cURL binary to perform a HTTP POST to a web page. I am sending XML data to this web page.

This is the command line that I'm currently using: /usr/local/bin/curl -m 600 -d $strXML http://myurl.com/webpage.php -L -s $strXML - variable containing the XML data. I run this command using exec. The return code I receive is: 127. This means a fatal error has occured with cURL but that's all I know. I have read the detail about using the -F option. I do not want to POST the file as such, but rather the DATA in the file is I create a file of the XML. The manpage for cURL states: -F : To just get the content part from a file, prefix the file name with the letter .

'Secure' is below the root and is therfore less protected. However, you can still use .htaccess directives to control the 'secure' directory much more closely. The path could be hacked, but if there is a requirement to login to that folder (because of .htaccess directives) then the hacker will still have to come up with appropriate authentication. If the root is /var/www/html then outside of the root could be /var/www/secure so that the path cannot be hacked from the browser, but you should still apply appropriate restrictions. HTH!

Are you sure you are editing the right httpd.conf file first of all? Put an obvious syntax error in there, such as misspelling Directory in that tag and see if you get an error. If so, make sure that this Directory block is not inside some other tag, or overridden by a second Directory block somewhere. Third, are you sure you are using PHP as an Apache module?

You *definitely* shouldn't have to transfer entire copies of your DB via ftp; that's just way too painful.

Re: [PHP] Simple Security Clarification
If you can't store stuff ABOVE your doc root, you can protect them with a .htaccess file.

The projects feature is very usefull as I have two major projects at the moment and I can easily switch between then and have all my files at hand. If you can afford it get it! For Mysql I use DBtools as I have many databases over many different servers so it lets me have access to them all in one place and i can test out my queries before i use them in a script which is very usefull.

mysql_query($query);
mysql_close();
or in the form itself, I have tried:
?
# this is processed when the form is submitted
# back on to this page (POST METHOD)
if ($REQUEST_METHOD==POST) {
# double-up apostrophes
$review = str_replace(','',$review);
$author = str_replace(','',$author);
# setup SQL statement
$SQL = INSERT INTO MemberReviews ;
$SQL = $SQL . (memb_name, bookname, author, grade, review) VALUES
;
$SQL = $SQL . ('$memb_name', '$bookname','$author', '$grade',

RE: [PHP] Image library
I did something like this a while ago ... and while it might not be the best solution - here's my situation and my solution: I had a number of photos (just shy of 1000) ... all were from various theatre shows ... taken at a different time of the process (rehearsal ... performance etc). So - I set up the following table in MySQL: Photo ID - an auto increment integer Show ID - an integer Time ID - an integer Imagetype - a string (JPG or Gif etc) When the file was then uploaded - the user selects a show and time to store it under. The file is then transferred to a directory numbered thus : /photos/showid/timeid/photoid.jpg When I then want to find a photo - it does a query over the database, retrieves the information and can access the photo appropriately. The downside of this - is that in order to know which photo is which - you have to access the database first. Dunno if that helps - but I thought I'd share my experience.

Is there a better way of doing this?

[PHP] mysql_query() ERROR
This is a query that I am sending to mysql. The problem is that sometimes in
the variable $message characters like ) will get posted and when they do
it makes mysql die. I can only assume that mysql thinks that the ) in the
$message variable is meant to close the sql query, but I am having trouble
figuring out how to avoid this. I suppose I could use a regex to replace all
special characters with something more sql friendly but I am hoping there is
a better way to do this. Thanks for any help.

It's not the ) characters, it's the quotes - make sure you
addslashes() to all the variables. Also make sure you don't double-slash

You need to addslashes($message). Why, you ask curiously? It is because a
person posting to the guestbook has either single or double quotes (or both)
within the message which aren't escaped properly. addslashes() does this.
Use stripslashes() when retrieving the message for display to remove the
slashes so that the message looks normal.
HTH!

Re: [PHP] Code for off-site Maintenance?
Good comments made by all, no doubts. Something said by Justin though, sticks out above the rest. I strongly recommend to everyone to never, EVER edit or manipulate LIVE code! I know we're all good at what we do, but accidents happen (perhaps you didn't specify a WHERE clause in your delete statement for your database? Whoops!). Like Justin, my process is to test, test, test, upload, and test some more. Extra time spent now could possibly mean less time spent correcting stupid mistakes.

RE: [PHP] How Do You Protect Individual Files
On Wednesday 21 August 2002 10:54, Roger Lewis wrote: I did, but like I said, I couldn't find much. Maybe I wasn't using the correct key words. There is a lot about protecting php and html files but not much on other, non-php files in external directories. There is some discussion about .htaccess, but I know nothing about this. Is that the way to do it, or can it be done with php. Justin French, Tuesday, August 20, 2002 10:40 PM In real short, you want to store the files outside your htdocs root (so they can't be served by http), OR restrict them from being served by using a htaccess file (try an apache list, the apache site, or your ISP sys admin). Then, you want to serve those files THROUGH a PHP script. Usually these scripts will: - authenticate a user - set the right mime-type header for the file type using header() - parse the requested file though the PHP script to the browser There were a few recent threads on this... search for the following subject lines in the archives: - Authenticate files downloads - secure files acess Finally, there is a decent script/article/tutorial on the Zend site (another place you should have looked), which is the basis for my code at the moment. http://www.zend.com/zend/trick/tricks-august-2001.php Well, I originally searched for protect file downloads. I also searched protect individual files, protect files, authenticate files, and on and on. There are thousands of messages, but very few with relevant titles or content. One point to consider: I have no control over the files themselves. They are being uploaded to the document directories by end users, so I do not know the file names. What I am trying to do is prevent someone who knows the path to the file from being able to gain access to it without authorization. One of the best ideas I saw was to put the files outside the web root directory. That sounded pretty good until I discovered that then I couldn't access the files. Now you've again pointed out that solution, so I'm sure it will work. I've just got to study up on the subject. I ran across the Zend article a couple of weeks ago, but it's going to take me awhile to understand it. I'm pretty new at this game, and my programming skills are very limited. I'm going to research .htaccess also.

Re: [PHP] PHP IDEs
On 21 Aug 2002 at 8:55, Michael Egan wrote: I know similar threads have come up on this in the past but I suspect it's a constantly changing picture. I recently saw a favourable review of Zend Studio 2.5 but wondered, out of curiosity, what sort of tools people use to develop PHP scripts and MySQL databases, tables and queries. Up until now, in an attempt to try and get to grips with these packages, I've been using a variety of text editors from VI to Kwrite. But I'm wondering whether it might speed up development times if I start to use one of the tools out there for working with PHP and MySQL. This should really go in a FAQ. I don't know if there is a live FAQ for PHP based on this list. ? Anyhow, this is one of my pet peeves. Nothing gives me the shudders more when I encounter a *developer* who ONLY knows a GUI. Any conscientious person should always seek better ways to do what they do. So I always go out and try these IDEs and so far I've always returned to Textpad and the really good developers I know who use unix/linux for a workstation use emacs and vi. A naïve user might find this odd. But you must understand that we also have scripting tools (usually Perl) coupled with an ability to type (above 60wpm) and at hand knowledge of the language. I and others also extensively use code libraries so we don't re-invent the wheel and consequently overbill. The only IDE that has impressed me, up until now, was the M$ stuff but I don't do VB, Visual C++ etc. But now I just downloaded this one: http://www.phpedit.com/ PHPEdit is a full featured PHP IDE for Windows. It has code insight, code completion, syntax-highlighting, integrated debugger, code browser, keyboard templates, and even more. Most IDEs make the simple simple or worse, difficult and nearly always difficult to later edit by hand. PHPEdit RECOGNIZES the the *classes* that you use in your scripts. It loads them. You can acccess them via the code browser. It recognizes all the methods in your file (according to class) and lists them for easy movement. This IDE has great potential imho. It's just the sort of thing that I have been looking for. It doesn't not try to help me do the simple things. It helps me organize and access my code. I don't think this would help the developer who doesn't know anything. It doesn't seem 100%. It has a nice feature where I can plug in documentation which gets loaded in the HELP browser window. This isn't working for me. It could be my fault. I have not investigated that much, but such a thing is quite, quite good, I still don't know PHP well enough to just write from brain to keyboard. BTW, other tools I use in development: Treepad (organize all sorts of data easily, http://www.treepad.com/ I use the free version) Of course I have my own Perl scripts for s/r but I also use this a lot (primarily just for the search): http://www.funduc.com/search_replace.htm CuteFTP (I really hate this program for the stupid things it does but it's still the best I've found, I detest using my mouse and I can do a lot with cuteftp from the keyboard, but it's braindead and the developers don't respond to my suggestions for improvement, it might be I need to rethink my development model). WinTelnet, I don't use the ftp app it comes with. I only use this because it SAVES all the servers I login to. At one time I had over 50 and I wasn't going to remember all the usernames/passwords and type the login all the time. This app logs me in and gets me to the command line. Oddly, it's not rated high here: http://cws.internet.com/telnet.html SSH Secure Shell 2.3, when I gotta use SSH. This could be a lot better. but it's okay. TextPad (for those of us who have not learned emacs or vi well enough :) http://www.textpad.com/ cygwin (get all those great linux tools on your windows box.

Re: [PHP] Image library
Hi Scott, Yes I am suggesting the naming of the image file by ascending number (at least in part - our Sony digicam produces files named DSCn.JPG). The danger of generating a filename by hash is that collisions are always possible. Moving to an 'accession number' removes that threat. The choice of locating the file in one or more sub-directories is a separate issue. After all, you could have one field in the db to keep track of the image's filename and another to keep track of its location - the two may or may not be related. Related: you can number/name the file and then use the last digit to determine which directory to locate it within (10 directories) - or the last two digits (100 directories). This has the advantage of spreading the directory/index load evenly as new images are 'accessioned'/arrive into the system. Non-related: you can use whatever algorithm you like, eg hashing or randomising, to decide where to place the image file. A low level of 'collisions' is immaterial in this application (whereas it would be catastrophic for image filenames)! Regards, =dn So what you are suggesting is using an AUTO_INCREMENT field, possibly the image's Primary Key as an identifier for that image file., which is fine by me, but surely one should store files across directories, as 1 images in a single directory might slow down access to those images in the filesystem, or not so? Thanks for your input.

So they, exactly as Bogdan suggests, use an Accession number sequence - which can be implemented very neatly in MySQL (from PHP) as an AUTO_INCREMENT field. Regards, =dn I've seen this kind of random approach several times and I keep wondering why not counting the files instead. Yes, it may take a little longer when uploading but I personally think the safety of the approach is worth the insignificant speed sacrifice. Bogdan Scott Houseman wrote: Hi all. This confirms what I suspected. The hash algrithm: I have a directory structure: dirs 0 - f, and within each of these, the same dir structure 0 - f. When an image gets uploaded into the library, do an md5sum of the file, take the first 2 chars of that hash and there's your path. e.g $PICDBPATH.'/a/7/a7b8be10b0e69fe3decaa538f1febe84' I'm not sure what the mathematical randomness of this is, but I'm sure it's pretty random, and the chances of collision should be virtually null, the only time you should overwrite a file is if you upload the exact same file(?)

From all accounts I've read on this list, a database is not usually faster than a filesystem. And for large amounts of files, like 1000's, a hash will speed it up more. The way I see it, considerations to be taken into acount: - Is it quicker/better to retrieve image from table then stream out to browser OR simply direct the browser to the file? i.e IMG SRC=/imagelib/image.php?iImageID=10 OR IMG SRC=/imagelib/5/f/10 - Will a database OR filesystem be more scalable i.e. which wil perform better when there are 1 images in the libary?

If you have the latest version of php (4.2.2 or 4.2.1) try
if(!empty($_POST['memb_name']))$memb_name = add_slashes($_POST['memb_name']);
if(!empty($_POST['bookname']))$bookname = add_slashes($_POST['bookname']);
and so on, then add them to your query string.
(add_slashes() will take care of any pesky quotes)

Re: [PHP] PHP Web site down?
General advice: take a look in the bottom right corner of any manual page and call for the mirrors list - it's worth bookmarking/favoriting a couple, just in case one goes down. Also FYI, mirror sites are often faster (depending upon relative locations) and their use certainly frees bandwidth at the central site. =dn Thanks!

[PHP] Re: Image library
Lots of good ideas. One other thing to consider when designing this is the possibility of multiple web server accessing a single database server. If you use the file system method which assumes that the web/db are on the same server as soon as you want to have multiple web servers you'll run into problems. Of course you also probably don't want to have multiple web servers ask a single db server over and over for the same image. Especially if mysql's blobs are inefficient (I don't know if they are or not). You might consider storing the images in the database, and then setting it up so that it first checks the filesystem and if it isn't there, gets it from the database and caches it to the filesystem so the next access it fast. This would allow you to run multiple web servers since they could both cache them locally. For what it's worth, for our application we use a two level directory heirarchy of [0-9]/[0-9]/primary_id.jpg. Works well for us. -philip On Wed, 21 Aug 2002, Scott Houseman wrote: Hi there. Which way would be the most efficient/fastest to access images from an image library.

[PHP] Calendar logic question
I have a calendar application that shows events in a month. I want to add the ability to have re-occuring events. I've been thinking about how to do that, but it's not seeming to be too easy. Say, I have a table of re-occuring events: eventId int eventName varchar eventStartDate date eventEndDate date eventOccuranceType enum(weekly, monthly, daily) eventInterval int eventDOW int Should I populate the actual events table with re-occuring events at insert/update/delete times, or should I code the event listing page to determine if there are events that would occur in the month shown? The first way would be costly at insert time, and may add lots of events that will never occur -- plus one can't go on forever, so at some point, it seems, it would have to do the second way anyway. The second way, is costly at page view time. With a small number of re-occurring events, that probably wouldn't be an issue, but as the calendar usage grows, I can see that becoming resource costly. Is there a better way? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Passing variables between servers
MD5 is a one-way hash. There is no way to get information back out of it. If he keeps a copy of the hash locally to comare instead of the original password, this is still as vulnerable as using the original password in this case. The only thing it would protect from is making available the original password (which may be used by the user for other sites, applications, etc). --- Seairth Jacobs [EMAIL PROTECTED] Adam Williams [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]...
