Re: [PHP] trans_sid and forms -- feature request???
* Thus wrote Justin French ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): Hi all, enable_trans_sid in the PHP ini has given me no grief to date, but now I'm working towards XHTML 1.0 Strict, and PHP seems to fall over when dealing with forms. So, one option is to exclude form= from the list or rewrite tags in php.ini, but this places a burden on the developers and writers to manually do this. Option 2 I had *hoped* would be for the action='' attribute of a form tag to be re-written rather than a hidden form element being added, but I haven't been able to get this to work. Can anyone offer a solution? Has this feature been requested before, or is it likely to be included in PHP 5?

It seems that you've already answered your question.
rant
and playing is a rather nice term; I'd rather say something like
destroying, stealing, monopolizing, betraying, untrusting,
stupidly trying to make the 'internet' more friendly by taking
advantage of certain organizations that weren't on the ball with
the .com names.

[PHP] php xvfb gives xauth command not found
Hello, I am using the program njplot in a script, an unfortunately it reqires a minimal X environment. So I am executing this programm by: $test=exec(/usr/bin/xvfb-run /usr/bin/njplot -psonly testfile 21); echo $test; As a result I get: xvfb-run: xauth command not found; exiting. The strange thing is, that this command did work properly, but got broken some days ago. The script is being executed on a debian woody server. On the other side, the command /usr/bin/xvfb-run /usr/bin/njplot -psonly testfile 21 is working properly when being executed manually. Does anyone by chance know how to resolve this problem?

How can I compare two dates with PHP, to see if one date occurred before the other? probably not the best way but: if the date is formated like this 20030929 (today) 20030928 (yesterday) I think it is quite easy: if ( (int)$today (int)$yesterday ) or perhaps like this: if ( strcmp($today, $yesterday) ) if you have to change the format, you can use : http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.preg-replace.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] php and checkboxes.

To remove a record is to delete a row. Same thing. When you say
entry, do you mean record or row? Or do you mean something else?
If you want to change one or more columns of a row (this can also
be stated as one or more fields of a record), use the SQL command
UPDATE table SET col1=expr1,col1=expr2,... WHERE ID=id_expr.

[PHP] nonblocking socket causes 100% cpu usage
I have a commandline php script, which opens a nonblocking socket to a server. Inside the message loop, where it polls the socket to determine whether there is any data to read/write, I've been running into problems, where the application takes as much CPU time as it can (80%, 90%, sometimes 99%, etc)... Normally, using socket_select() with a timeout should allow allow it to poll the socket without using all the cpu time, but it isn't working. I've tried with timeouts of 15ms, 100ms, 200ms, 500ms, 1sec, and it's still using 100% cpu time. Even adding sleep() and usleep() calls will not relieve the system load that the script causes. For now, I've fixed the problem temporarily by not setting the socket in nonblocking mode (so it blocks when reading), but the reason I need to use nonblocking is that I'm adding more to it that will require that the script can respond to events *between* reading from the socket. Can anyone explain why socket_select and other timeout function calls would still cause it to use 100% cpu time? If it makes a difference, the script is on gentoo linux, and it includes a fork() call, to fork into the background (though this shouldn't make a difference). Is it possible that socket_select() ignores the timeout values, if the sockets are nonblocking? Or would I be able to use socket_select() on a blocking socket, to simulate the effect of a nonblocking socket (so that I would only call socket_read() IF socket_select() indicates that there is data waiting.)

Re: [PHP] RE : [PHP] PHP Rading excel files
Given that excel (and generaly any microsoft app/bloatware) puts so much
junk into the files that sometimes excel itself cannot read it it is
virtualy impossible to write a pure php solution. The easiest path is to
use COM and run excel on the server, but this rules out any non windows
server. Or try to dig into openoffice and wrap its excel routines in a
php extension.

RE: [PHP] RE : [PHP] PHP Rading excel files
I'd consider using COM to work with Excel files if you can't find another
way to get the information out. The PHP Handbook (O'Reilly) has a good
chapter on that sort of thing. Then you can just refer to a cell as you
would in Excel VBA.
Sorry I can't think of anything better!

RE: [PHP] RE : [PHP] PHP Rading excel files
Just thought that it might be worth considering putting some functionality
into the Excel spreadsheet to trigger the PHP application.
I've created Excel spreadsheets in the past with a VBA macro or two in it
which allows users to update information on a intranet site from the
spreadsheet. They update their spreadsheet as normal and then press a button
which opens up a web browser control and passes the information to the
server in a get statement. Page reloads, capture the return message from the
server and show to user who never sees the web browser.
I don't know exactly what you're developing so can't be sure if this will be
of any use.

Chris

Given that excel (and generaly any microsoft app/bloatware) puts so much
junk into the files that sometimes excel itself cannot read it it is
virtualy impossible to write a pure php solution. The easiest path is to
use COM and run excel on the server, but this rules out any non windows
server. Or try to dig into openoffice and wrap its excel routines in a
php extension.

Re: [PHP] php xvfb gives xauth command not found
$test=exec(/usr/bin/xvfb-run /usr/bin/njplot -psonly testfile ); Actually, I think that you can just run the command without the xvfb-run command... $test = exec(/usr/bin/njplot -psonly testfile ); that should just create the testfile.ps file and not fire up a x-window. The error with the xvfb-run is that the command cannot find the xauth command that it needs to set up the x server environment. Try the above one and see if that works for you...if not then install xauth and revert to running it in xvfb-run. -- BigDog -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

I also found a blog entry, saying that Because when PHP is running as an Apache module, each page gets handled by a separated thread of the same process. And the problem is, you set the language by writing a variable to the environment (puttenv()). That's how gettext works. Unfortunately, changing the environment affects the whole process... thus all running (sleeping indeed ) threads for that process! see http://fplanque.net/Blog/devblog/2003/08/20/p355 That would mean that two different people accessing the page at the same time could get mixed up translations, as through PutEnv usage?

changes/bug fixes being sent back to me though.

You could just loop over the _POST array.
foreach ($_POST as $field_name = $field_value) {
$content .= $field_name = $field_value\n;
}
Then just email $content. You could filter out the excerciseN fields if
you only wanted to send those.

Ok, but the problem is that I will, might have other fields. I need to filter out just
the exerciseN fields. Interesting though thanks,

You could just loop over the _POST array.
foreach ($_POST as $field_name = $field_value) {
$content .= $field_name = $field_value\n;

Then just email $content. You could filter out the excerciseN fields if
you only wanted to send those.

Subject: [PHP] How many Mondays in a month?
Hi,
I have posted a similar question in php.db, but I was
wondering if someone could help out with a non-db issue. I am
trying to display statistics of visitors to my web site, and
what I would like to do is show the average number of
visitors that have visited the site in a given month for a
certain day e.g..:
Stats for www.mysite.com for 09/2003
Monday - 15 average - 65 total
Tuesday - 16 average - 66 total
Wednesday - 14 average - 65 total
Thursday - 13 average - 63 total
Friday - 15 average - 65 total
Saturday - 5 average - 25 total
Sunday - 6 average - 28 total
I have tried a number of ways to do this, but I cannot work
out a way to show the number for example Mondays that will be
in a given month, which I need to work out the average. I can
work out the total easy enough, just not the average.
TIA

You have a page that collects credit card information for payment.

One tip that I would add is that instead of using individual arguments,
you might want to consider using an array as an argument. This prevents
people from inserting the arguments in the wrong order, which would not
yield the correct results.
Function call would be :
$my_date = array();
$my_date['day'] = Mon;
$my_date['month'] = Jan;
$my_date['year'] = 2003;
num_days($my_date);
Of course the indexes could be in any order, as long as they have day,
month, year as keys.
Just a thought, good work though :)

[PHP] Strange comportment ...
Hi,
I got a function that do a very strange calculation ... Here is the code
fragment
function ChiffreEnLettre($chiffre)
{
$centaine = 0;
$dizaine = 0;
$unite = 0;
$reste = 0;
$y = 0;
$dix = false;
$lettre = ;
$reste = $chiffre;
// print( Valeur recue = $restebr);
for( $i = 10; $i = 1; $i = $i / 1000)
{
$y = (int) ($reste / $i);
print($y = $reste / $i );
...
...
When i call this function many time with different number i got strange
values for the $y var.
Sometime when i call the function with $chiffre = 5, I got got $y = 5 ,
and other time i got $y = 4 I also got the same strange comportment
when I call the function with $chiffre = 45, sometime i got $y = 45 and
dometime i got $y = 44 ...
This problem only occur when $i = 1. So in this case, for PHP, 5 / 1 = 4
!!!
if i replace $y = (int)($reste / $i); by $y = ($reste / $i); evrything
is ok, so it appear that it's the casting that is transforming the 5 value
in the 4 value.
If anybody has an explication,
Best regards,

Maybe you could go off of a timestamp in a last_visited, last_visitedIP fields. If it was less than 10 minutes ago, then they can move on.

[PHP] Re: Central authentication for multiple sites
If all domains have access to the same database then there is absolutely nothing preventing you from using a Cookie. Have a normal login on Domain1.com. Once authenticated produce a random ID and store it in the database. Store the ID in a cookie then Redirect the client to the desired domain. The page the client is redirected to checks to see if the ID matches one stored in the database. If it does then the user is valid. A logout request on any one of the domains destroys the ID in the database and erases the cookie. Associate a timestamp with the ID in the database so that you can make the login invalid after a period of no activity. - Kevin Fraser Campbell [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi, Does anyone know of a way to authenticate a person on one site and have that authentication carried through to multiple sites?

Re: [PHP] Central authentication for multiple sites
Because the sites are on the same server, it is simple. Use sessions and pass SID in urls to other domains.

Chris, I'm glad that you have realized that your programming practices are leading your into trouble. That's a big step. A lot of people refuse to believe that. Getting rid of spaghetti code can easily be done if you start using a template engine ( smarty from smarty.php.net is my favorite ). This allows you to atleast on some level, separate your presentation from your logic. The old mantra about documentation also holds true here. If you document your code as you write it, it will help you try to figure out what you were doing an hour ago. Compartmentalizing your code and separating it into logical components (not necessarily classes, but those help) will allow you to organize your code better. Arranging these components into separate files will lead to better managability of code. As far as frameworks are concerned, I don't use any formal or published framework, but rather have my own application skeleton that is comprised of some PEAR classes along with a sprinkling of my own modules. It has served me well, especially since all of the grunt work is taken care of by PEAR. Good luck, and I hope this helps. -- Burhan Khalid phplist[at]meidomus[dot]com http://www.meidomus.com -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] download queue
I'm considering start up a small download site with the large amount of excess bandwith I have on my site, however I thought it would be cool to put some sort of download queue up (you know, so all my bandwith doesn't get eaten up when 500 random people suddenly decide to download a 500meg file i've put up. In any case, I'm once again to the point where I know what I want, but the logic of it escapes me. If anyone has ever done this before, seen the code behind this before, or knows basically how this would be done, I'd be more than happy if you would share your wisdom with me. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
RE: [PHP] Re: Central authentication for multiple sites
Fraser, Kevin is right on, but it wasn't clear to me that you wanted the users to log onto each site. Seems you may expect them to go to the site in another browser, or perhaps the same, without having to signon again. Perhaps this can be done if you do a form post to the new domain from the existing one, passing the session key (or some other indication who has signed on) as a hidden variable, and using target=_BLANK to open a new browser. I would recommend checking that you haven't created a BIG security hole with this one.

Re: [PHP] Cleaning up my messy code
You should search the web for articles on MVC, Model View Controller. This is a standard technique for separating your presentation from your logic from your database. The concept can be applied to any programming or scripting language since it actually falls under the much bigger realm of design patterns. I would highly recommend reading at least one or two articles on MVC, you don't have to completely understand it, but it will give you a could foundation. After that, there were a few articles written on using MVC specific to PHP over at phparch.com. I subscribed to that magazine a few months ago and I think it's well worth it. You may need to subscribe yourself to see the past articles, but it's not expensive for the PDF subscription version. I looked into the templating systems at first, but really wanted to try what they were doing myself. It ends up being very easy to implement using output buffering. Just look into the ob_start() command. Here is an example of how I load a template file into a variable: ob_start(); include(templateFile.tpl); $tpl_content = ob_get_contents(); ob_end_clean(); On Monday, September 29, 2003, at 03:22 PM, Chris wrote: I am working on a fairly large scale (for myself anyway) project using PHP and MySQL.
