Re: [PHP] printing
Yes. You'd better hope your server has a printer, though! :-) Seriousley though, PHP runs on the server. By the time the viewer sees it, it's already executed. Which means it can't do anything to the client's machine. Look into some client-side scripting.

Re: [PHP] PHP vs Perl for system scripts (non-web)
I'm more comfortable writing stuff in PHP. I use PHP alot more, and I find the resultant code more readable and easier to maintain. Aside from Perl's ubiquity and the dubious advantage of future flexibility by using Perl's DBI interface to talk to different SQL servers (I'm using MySQL at the moment), are there any compelling reasons I should write system stuff in Perl rather than PHP? If you have complicated tasks there may be more Perl examples on the internet, and that would be a vote for Perl. But then again, i once tried to translate Perl to PHP and that was unexpectedly easy. Except for the crypt() function which turned out to be different. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Unfortunately that code is not very readable. Maybe you can find something readable in a script library, look for 'html page ripper' or 'ripping an html page'. What i did was i first cleaned up all HTML files in one sweep with the Search and Replace in Multiple Files option of UltraEdit. This to remove the head section which would bother me, and to remove newlines and tabs and double spaces. Then i selected the keywords (or key sentences) that came back in all files that would announce the coming of a new data element. In your case they are easy to distinguish: add the b tag to the search sequence. In my files the keywords where luckily very unique. I made an array of these keywords. I think i did this: $array['name']['key']='bName/b'; Then i read in the files one by one, and with each file content i would go through the content. I would look for the start of every keyword or sentence (strpos) and find the end of it by looking for the next /td tag. This value i would clean up and then add as value to the array. Maybe $array['name']['value']=trim($result); From this array it was easy to build a query.

Are you talking about having a submit button that launches a browser's print dialog, as if the user pressed the print button in their browser, or do you want a user's form submission to cause a printer on (or near) your web server to spit out something based on the form contents? I've build scripts that print to a server-side printer by creating output using pdflib, then submitting the PDF to the local (unix-based) lpr system. Then the only complexity is getting lpr to deal with PDF files (along with solutions to the security issues that surround giving your web server process the ability to submit print jobs). I do this for requests for paper invoices which fit inside window envelopes, so any invoices that turn up on the printer just get stuffed and mailed. I also do something similar for requests for FAXed quotes. The software builds a PDF, then submits it to Hylefax's sendfax program, which dumps it to a fax server elsewhere on the network. If you're doing this in a Microsoft environment, I have no clue how you'd even approach the problem, let alone solve it. -- Paul Chvostek [EMAIL PROTECTED] Operations / Abuse / Whatever it.canada, hosting and development http://www.it.ca/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

hello,
I am making use of sessions in my PHp/MySQL Database application. When
the user is successfully authenticated against the database, a session
is created in following manner:
session_register(valid_user,firstname,lastname);
$valid_user = $login;
$firstname = $first_name;
$lastname = $last_name;
While I am able to use the $valid_user variable all thru the sesion ,
when I try to use the $valid_user it works fine (i.e. I am able to
access the value) throughout the session, however when I try to use the
other two registered session variables i.e firstname and lastname, I
am not able to extract the value. Can you suggest what might be going
wrong. Note I am locally testing the setup on my Mac.

Re: [PHP] Transition Page?
If there is really need for such a page, my first guess was, as i thought about it, to enter the content, which is responsible for the upload in a invisible frame. For an invisible Frame you just have to make a frameset, where you only can see one part of the frame frameset rows=*,1 or some like that, and on the other hand you are just making your transition page. after your upload is finished you just have to run a javascript parent.location.href= command.

[PHP] parsing ini files
Hey everybody,
I'm new the list and to PHP, so I thought I'd launch right in with a
question.
I have a file which contains the following syntax:
; Events listings
[event]
month = january
day = 23
year = 2003
venue = some club
description = this is an event
[event]
month = january
day = 12
year = 2003
venue = another club
description = this is another event
Each one of these headers sections represents the start of a new event. So,
my code does the following:
$EVENTS = parse_ini_file('./data/events', TRUE);
while($key = key($EVENTS))
{
$$key = current($EVENTS); //variable variables
next($EVENTS);
}
The problem is that when I try to print the values for $venue, $day, etc, I
only get the values for the last section encountered. I need a way to get
the values of all the events - do my section heads need to be unique, or can
I continue to use the same format in my ini file?
Thanks in advance!

Re: [PHP] Found a PHP bug!!!!!!!!!
Your bug is this:
inconsistency of types.
You split a formatted string into smaller strings and compare the
integers to it. In order to do this correctly, you will need to take
your integers and convert them into the strings, format of which you
already know and used for deformatting the original string. Then compare.
That is the only way to be safe, other ways are magic because PHP
debugged them for you. It's really all about the programming logic. few
of you who are fluent with C or Java would dump into this.

Re: [PHP] PHP vs Perl for system scripts (non-web)
Paul Chvostek [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote... : I have to write a swath of code to manage system-related stuff based on database content. Scripts will be run as root by cron, and determine what they have to do via user interaction and SQL lookups. Functions will include manipulation of system configuration files, legacy text file configs, and some signalling with posix_kill. On some of the machines in question, there won't even be an httpd installed, so I'd be building a php as a standalone binary, and running it with shell magic and a -q option. I've done this kind of stuff in the past in smaller environments, and it seems to work nicely. PHP can easily do all that, probably even easier that with Perl. Perl is somewhat too painful to write scripts in. For my needs, i whether use PHP or Ruby for stand-alone apps. Ruby is less flexible than PHP but its pure OOP and I often need to resort to it. I'm more comfortable writing stuff in PHP. I use PHP alot more, and I find the resultant code more readable and easier to maintain. You answered yourself again - if you are more comfortable with PHP then why hassle with painful Perl? Aside from Perl's ubiquity and the dubious advantage of future flexibility by using Perl's DBI interface to talk to different SQL servers (I'm using MySQL at the moment), are there any compelling reasons I should write system stuff in Perl rather than PHP?

Re: [PHP] Good way to organize code using classes???
@ Nilaab [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote... : Hello everyone, I want to be able to use objects to create my future pages. My goal is to use methods of classes to make the original front-line script easier to read, while all the processing is done with a simple call to the different classes from a single class. Please read futher, as I'll get to a point and to my question... I have many classes that do different tasks, like formValidator.class, stringManipulator.class, db.class, fileManipulation.class, template.class, etc (these are self-explanitory as their names suggest). Then, I might have a class called category.class that adds, deletes, edits, moves, and renames categories within the filesystem and database. But I would have a front-line script called category.php that would call the necessary methods of category.class at certain points, depending on the task being done on a specific step. In other words I want category.class to call the other classes and do something with them, then in turn I want category.php to call objects in category.class for a specific task, such as: ?php // category.php include (category.class); $cat = new category (); $cat-addCategory($new_cat_name); // or $cat-editCategory($cat_name); // or $cat-deleteCategory($cat_name); // or $cat-moveCategory($cat_name); // or $cat-renameCategory($cat_name); ? My question is: How can I call a class within another class and do something with it? Right now I'm doing it the most convenient way I know, which is including other classes using the include() function within the methods of the category.class. There is no multiple-inheritance allowed in PHP, so I can only use inheritance on one class. Including new classes within the existing classes is not such a bad idea as it ensures you to have only the necessary classes called. I am also extremely skeptical about creating too many classes at a time in one script. Do the above examples degrade performance speed of the script when I call too many classes? Also, isn't there a way to use sessions to save created classes and then use them again for other scripts without the need to make a new instance of the same class again and again? yes, you can serialize/unserialize classes into the sessions. This makes it a little more complicated, but can be helpful sometimes. I am really looking for a better way to organize my code while still being able to use these classes whenever I need them and at the same time keeping the category.php file clean and easy to read. Is there a tutorial on how to organize code? I'm not looking for html template tutorials. Just how to get around inheritance limits while still keeping performance and clean-code in mind. You know what I have once done? I created a file with functions that return you the object pointers. It would create (declare) the class whenever it was not declared before or just return the pointer from a global variable if it was declared before. That way, you only load a few functions, and whenever you need a class you assign a variable to the function's return to have the class. This limits you script to only classes you use and no includes within the script itself. A kind of silly method, but can be easy to work with. Also, check out the new Zend 2 engine, it has tons of improvements with classes for PHP5. Currently the code is in CVS (checkout php5 module).

Each one of these headers sections represents the start of a new event. So,
my code does the following:
$EVENTS = parse_ini_file('./data/events', TRUE);
while($key = key($EVENTS))

}
The problem is that when I try to print the values for $venue, $day, etc, I
only get the values for the last section encountered. I need a way to get
the values of all the events - do my section heads need to be unique, or can
I continue to use the same format in my ini file?
Thanks in advance!

You could have a look at the alternative function mentioned by the users
'seb' and 'Tom' in the online manual
http://nl.php.net/manual/nl/function.parse-ini-file.php, at least you can
tweak that so the values get added to arrays.
Or you could see whether this will work:
[event]
month[]=januari
[event]
month[]=februari
I doubt whether it would work, the idea is that in this case $month[0]
would be januari and $month[1] februari.
$EVENTS = parse_ini_file('./data/events', TRUE);
while($key = key($EVENTS))
{
$$key = current($EVENTS); //variable variables
next($EVENTS);

if you ask me, i would do it like this:
while (list ($key, $val) = each ($_POST)) {
{
$$key = $val;

60 rows, the printed result jumps down about 7 lines. I would like to have
the same small gap between the result of the query and the above content.

Re: [PHP] php conditional formatting question
I'm new to PHP but I had a similar problem. I was comparing information in a
flat text file with a variable in my php code. They never matched according to
the php. I echo'd both values to the screen and they matched. So then I echo'd
them to the screen with three 'a' in front and three 'a' in back of the values.
Much to my suspicion there was a blank space behind the value from the text
file. So, I used rtrim to get rid of the blank space. Looks something like
this:
$contents[1] = rtrim($contents[1]);
if ($idname = = $contents[0]) {
echo Works Thus Far!;
exit;
}

[PHP] regexps
I need to use regular expressions, but i found that the current Perl-compaitable API unuseful in my case, infact i need to get the positions of every match to the pattern and i found nothing in the Manual that does so, does any one know a way to do this (the only one i found is specific to PHP 4.3.0) Thanx in advance :) Regards, Khalid Al-Kary. _ MSN 8 with e-mail virus protection service: 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/virus -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] parsing ini files
I have a file which contains the following syntax:
; Events listings
[event]
month = january
day = 23
year = 2003
venue = some club
description = this is an event
[event]
month = january
day = 12
year = 2003
venue = another club
description = this is another event
Each one of these headers sections represents the start of a new event.
So,
my code does the following:
$EVENTS = parse_ini_file('./data/events', TRUE);
while($key = key($EVENTS))
{
$$key = current($EVENTS); //variable variables
next($EVENTS);
}
The problem is that when I try to print the values for $venue, $day, etc,
I
only get the values for the last section encountered. I need a way to get
the values of all the events - do my section heads need to be unique, or
can
I continue to use the same format in my ini file?
Yes, each section has to be unique, otherwise you're just overwriting the
values each time it's read.
If you want to do it this way, I'd write your own function to read the file
and not use parse_ini_file().

Re: [PHP] help needed with session variables
Isnt it better to do it in this way?
Better than what?
session_start();
session_register('USER');
$USER['valid'] = true;
$USER['firstname'] = $first_name;
$USER['lastname'] = $last_name;
Then I really know what I am doing!
It's personal preference... whatever you understand.
I'd recommend just using $_SESSION and keep register_globals OFF, but that's
me.

Everything works fine, however I've been trying to figure out how to send a value set on the other machine (database) back through the open socket (note: not the return value usually retrieved by fgets($fp etc...) which is then available to the sending machine. Searching via Google hasn't given me an answer. Is it possible? Can somebody help? Syntax would be very nice, I'm not a PHP guru. Anything that the receiving Web server outputs is sent back to you just as it would be a Web browser. So, you can read this data just as if from a file (which is why fsockopen is so convenient). Thus, just echo whatever you want to send back. You make a statement that is very conflicting: I've been trying to figure out how to send a value set on the other machine (database) back through the open socket (note: not the return value usually retrieved by fgets($fp etc...) So, you want to send data back through the open socket, but you do not want read this data from the socket. I think you have a misunderstanding here somewhere that will make things difficult for you. What fgets() gives you *is* the data sent from the remote server. If you want to pass data back in a manageable way, you will probably want to output XML, because that is easier and more reliable to parse than HTML.

[PHP] Problems with php.net
Good day, This is a bit off-topic for the list, but, I'm not sure where else I can send this. The search function on php.net appears to be broken. One can search through the function list, but any query via whole site or online documentation returns no results. I tried to send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED], the address posted on the site for this sort of thing. However, my message eventually bounces back to me, with the php.net qmail deamon stating that it can not confirm that my address was valid. I presume that there is some sort of system that replies to me to confirm that my return address is valid, but this also appears to be broken, as no such e-mail is ever received. If anyone can pass this along, or even suggest where this could be sent, that would be great. This problem has been present for a couple of weeks now, at least.

You'd set it just like you would anywhere else in your code. If you want the callback function to be a method in your class, then you pass an array to set_error_handler().

[PHP] Allowing . in $_POST variable
Hi all: I filled a bug today that quickly got resolved invalid, but I think it deserves another look. I had a bit of a problem today with . getting converted to _ for my variable names automatically. I have been told that this was because if you have register_globals on, then you can't have a variable with a . in its name. Fair enough. However, since that's now considered to be bad practice, it would make sense to me that this feature get another look. I can see no logical reason to not allow . in the global $_POST variable... Basically, what I'd like is to be able to post a form element with id=myvariable.whatever and access it on the next page with $_POST[myvariable.whatever]. Comments are appreciated.

[PHP] best way to save form data on user side
Hi I have a rather annoying problem regarding forms. I have built an app that allows the users to fill in a rather large form (much like a claim form) and then have the data pumped into a mysql db. The problem is: the users want to be able to save their forms on their systems as a) backup/proof that they have filled it in and b) for their records for future use and c) the hope is that it would also allow for a reliable method to complete the form off-line and then submit it when online again. So, I'm not sure what the best way is to tackle this situation. My gutt says it would need some kind of client stand alone app, but I wouldn't want to go there unless I am proven beyond reasonable doubt that it is the only way. The users are mostly in computer limbo, and if they had their way, they would want to use Word or Excel to complete the forms, save it to their hard drive and click to send it away...

Saving the form would be useless because how would you ever know if they really submitted it or not? It seems like the easiest thing to do would be to show them a confirmation page that says your claim has been accepted and here is the data you submitted. Save or print this page for your records like you see on many other systems. Would that work?

Well, this sounds like a bad idea in general, but if you have no choice in the matter, I suppose cookies can fulfill the need. Anything you implement like this is going to lessen the security of the data, because rather than the client sending it to you once, you are going to expose it over the Internet several times. If this risk is acceptable for whatever reason, then cookies are probably no less secure for this data than anything else. Normally, I would highly recommend *not* storing client data on cookies, because that opens you up to several types of attacks, but you can accomplish what you want to do with this method. Only punish those who want this feature by setting these cookies only for those who choose to save this data locally. You could help the situation by encrypting the data in your cookies, so that only presentation attacks are a concern, but your users wouldn't be able to easily look at their data as verification of anything. My recommendation is to leverage your position as the technical expert to advise a more proper solution, one that you agree to, not them. They should not be consulted regarding application design unless they have experience with it. Rather, they should be describing their needs and let you (or the technical lead / project manager) do the technical design. Good luck to you.

I use PHP classes extensively and very often use classes

First off, I would make sure to take advantage of inheritence
as much as possible. I have heirarchies up to 4 deep for
some of my classes depending on how much specialization
I need while at the same time maintaining only one set
of code for functionality common to all subclasses.
As for using classes within classes, I don't include
the classes within a class definition nor within
a method def. I include the class def in the class
file but outside the actual class {} statement.
When I instantiate the class, if I will need the object
ref to pass to other classes or to other methods within
the calling class, I assign the initial object
instantiation to a class variable. That way any class
methods can have ready access to that class via the
ojbect reference stored in the class variable.
Only when I know for sure that the use of a class will
be for one purpose do I include and instantiate within
a method.
as always, YMMV depending on the structure of your project.
NOTE: There is a set of new PHP functions that allow
a sort of dynamic multiple inheritence. You can look

@ Nilaab [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote... :
Hello everyone,
I want to be able to use objects to create my future pages. My goal is
to use methods of classes to make the original front-line script easier
to read, while all the processing is done with a simple call to the
different classes from a single class. Please read futher, as I'll get
to a point and to my question...
I have many classes that do different tasks, like formValidator.class,
stringManipulator.class, db.class, fileManipulation.class,
template.class, etc (these are self-explanitory as their names suggest).
Then, I might have a class called category.class that adds, deletes,
edits, moves, and renames categories within the filesystem and database.
But I would have a front-line script called category.php that would call
the necessary methods of category.class at certain points, depending on
the task being done on a specific step.
In other words I want category.class to call the other classes and do
something with them, then in turn I want category.php to call objects in
category.class for a specific task, such as:
?php
// category.php
include (category.class);
$cat = new category ();
$cat-addCategory($new_cat_name);
// or
$cat-editCategory($cat_name);
// or
$cat-deleteCategory($cat_name);
// or
$cat-moveCategory($cat_name);
// or
$cat-renameCategory($cat_name);
?
My question is:
How can I call a class within another class and do something with it?
Right now I'm doing it the most convenient way I know, which is
including other classes using the include() function within the methods
of the category.class. There is no multiple-inheritance allowed in PHP,
so I can only use inheritance on one class.
Including new classes within the existing classes is not such a bad idea
as it ensures you to have only the necessary classes called.
I am also extremely skeptical about creating too many classes at a time
in one script. Do the above examples degrade performance speed of the
script when I call too many classes? Also, isn't there a way to use
sessions to save created classes and then use them again for other
scripts without the need to make a new instance of the same class again
and again?
yes, you can serialize/unserialize classes into the sessions. This makes
it a little more complicated, but can be helpful sometimes.
I am really looking for a better way to organize my code while still
being able to use these classes whenever I need them and at the same
time keeping the category.php file clean and easy to read. Is there a
tutorial on how to organize code? I'm not looking for html template
tutorials. Just how to get around inheritance limits while still keeping
performance and clean-code in mind.
You know what I have once done? I created a file with functions that
return you the object pointers. It would create (declare) the class
whenever it was not declared before or just return the pointer from a
global variable if it was declared before. That way, you only load a few
functions, and whenever you need a class you assign a variable to the
function's return to have the class. This limits you script to only
classes you use and no includes within the script itself. A kind of silly
method, but can be easy to work with.
Also, check out the new Zend 2 engine, it has tons of improvements with
classes for PHP5. Currently the code is in CVS (checkout php5 module).

Hi Why don't you take the form in many smaller parts, save them away as each part is completed, allowing the user to go back and forth between the parts.

Maybe this example will help. This searches PHP's site for
curl, outputting the HTTP content to the screen. When you
are making a socket connection like this, you get the whole
HTTP response, not just the content. This example uses an
explode() to separate headers from content, which isn't
very safe (if the content contains \r\n somewhere, it
screws up), but it will probably work for you:
base href=http://www.php.net/;
?
$content = php_post(www.php.net, /search.php,
lang=en_USpattern=curlshow=manual);
echo $content;
function php_post($host, $path, $data)
{
$http_response=;
$fp=fsockopen($host, 80);
fputs($fp, POST $path HTTP/1.1\r\n);
fputs($fp, Host: $host\r\n);
fputs($fp, Content-Type:
application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n);
fputs($fp, Content-Length: . strlen($data).\r\n);

[root@Lunar]:~ w
11:02am up 56 days, 17:39, 1 user, load average: 0.07, 0.02, 0.00
USER TTY FROM LOGIN@ IDLE JCPU PCPU WHAT
root pts/0brpt-sh6-port214 11:01am 0.00s 0.27s 0.06s w
Now what if I just want the infor on the 3rd line, and info about anyone
else who is logged in, such as the username, the host, and the time
without getting all the uptime and the header info? Thanks!
exec() 'returns' the output of the command in an array. Just extract from
the array whatever line(s) you need.

Re: [PHP] best way to save form data on user side
I agree on leveraging your position to guide this thing. Here you've added the requirement of being able to revisit the data in a year. Why not simply have them fill out the form, put it in the database and then use another page with queries to draw the data into a similar template and change it as needed? Simple forms should handle this just fine, and you can require passwords to the data. As far as filling it out online, let them pull up the form, fill it out and reconnect, then press submit. Wouldn't this cover what you want?

Well, this sounds like a bad idea in general, but if you have no choice in the matter, I suppose cookies can fulfill the need. Anything you implement like this is going to lessen the security of the data, because rather than the client sending it to you once, you are going to expose it over the Internet several times. If this risk is acceptable for whatever reason, then cookies are probably no less secure for this data than anything else. Normally, I would highly recommend *not* storing client data on cookies, because that opens you up to several types of attacks, but you can accomplish what you want to do with this method. Only punish those who want this feature by setting these cookies only for those who choose to save this data locally. You could help the situation by encrypting the data in your cookies, so that only presentation attacks are a concern, but your users wouldn't be able to easily look at their data as verification of anything. My recommendation is to leverage your position as the technical expert to advise a more proper solution, one that you agree to, not them. They should not be consulted regarding application design unless they have experience with it. Rather, they should be describing their needs and let you (or the technical lead / project manager) do the technical design. This is exactly what I'm looking to do; but my problem remains: I don't know what the best solution is. The problem is clear: the users actually need an electronic copy of the data they submit; they must revisit certain issues annually, and would need to access the data they submitted the previous year; either for review purposes, or to make the new submission a speedy matter of simply changing the details that are different from last year. It's much like a normal office scenario: each person works on Word docs that need to be shared with others, yet needs to be editable and must be saved etc, BUT the difference here is that the data of all the collective sources must be entered into a central db. So the non technical solution would be for the users to do the forms in word, then fax it to the central office, where you have a temp type the data into the db... we can't have that now... Any ideas? PS, I don't think cookies are going to do this. Remember, the user needs to be able to access and re-submit the form at any stage. Good luck to you.

So, I'm not sure what the best way is to tackle this situation. My gutt says it would need some kind of client stand alone app, but I wouldn't want to go there unless I am proven beyond reasonable doubt that it is the only way. There are different issues here If they want to save a half-completed form, you *could* save that data server side in either a table, temporary table, or file, and have them log-in to continue using it. I have done this many times. You could also save the data client-side with cookies, but there's no guarantee that cookies will work on a specific client. If they want back-up/proof of doing it, then they can print the browser screen as they fill it in, AND, you can give them a confirmation page which prints all the form values back to the browser as a printable HTML page which they can either print or save as TEXT or HTML. Writing something that works offline for completion online later sounds like you're trying to make the web do something it wasn't designed for. The only solution I can think of is client-side javascript saving the form information as a browser cookie, but there's no way I'd bother, because it would require the user to have both javascript and cookies enabled, and I think there's also issues with the issuing domain of the cookie. The users are mostly in computer limbo, and if they had their way, they would want to use Word or Excel to complete the forms, save it to their hard drive and click to send it away... You can create a form inside a PDF document, and it can POST the completed data to a URL. So they could complete the form offline, print it, whatever, then connect, and hit submit. It would open a browser window with a URL like http://yourdomain.com/parseThePDFForm.php and then you would have your submitted data. Whilst not as a elegant, they COULD fill in an excel file, and upload it via a browser. Same with word. I'm not sure if wither excel or word has any method of POSTing data. With all these client-side options, there's zero hope of getting them to correct missing fields though :) Decide if this is something you want to achieve on the web, or offline. If on the web, keep it basic, with perhaps a save to server option and a printable thankyou/proof page. If offline, I think PDF forms are the best of a bad bunch.

[PHP] Advice on uploaded files
I writting a php program for a small insurance company and they want to receive uploaded digital photos. Should I store the photos in a mysql database or in a directory on the hard drive? If you have experience with this any advice would be appreciated.

I prefer storing them in the filesystem, and using the MySQL database to keep track of WHERE they are (link). There of course are SOME problems with that... mainly because the two are not joined at the hip... someone could accidently trash the file, or the MYSQL record, without deleting the other. Storing the image directly in MySQL has never appealed to me, because you have to do a little more work to get the image out (sending headers, having an image script, etc), and mainly because the size of the DB increases dramatically... which makes backing up more difficult/time consuming. Each to their own though :) Justin -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] htpasswd question
I am currently trying to create a .htpasswd file for apache using PHP and the crypt() on Win2k. I can generate the file alright but it does not work. I have looked into some classes as well and all use the crypt() function. The reason for this not working is probably the algorithm used because the passwords within a .htpasswd created with apache looks a hell lot different using something like $apr1$rB2.$8iUWArWEsTQ2553kjk22NS1 (not a real password by the way) anyone having experience with that? Something up because I use windows?

I would try something like this instead: $params = escapeshellarg($params); $output = system(c:\path\to\htpasswd $params); //check for output errors or what not There very well could be a better solution (especially since I have not tried the above code...). I remember seeing somewhere that the crypt algorithms are different for Apache and PHP on Win32. -Dash Cleanliness is next to impossible.
