With previous versions of HTTP, unless a persistent connection was specifically requested, a separate TCP connection was established for each transaction. This meant two TCP connections would be created and destroyed just to render Google. Imagine more elaborate sites, and you can see how this can really cause performance problems. By making persistent connections the default (HTTP/1.1), a single TCP connection can be established, and until all necessary resources are received, the same connection is used. This makes much more sense. The Connection header allows you to specify the desired behavior. Wow they finally have one image! IIRC, for a long time the logo was several small images that looked like a single image. That way, the whitespace around the letters didn't have to be included in the image. IMHO that was a cool solution. They still avoid superfluous line breaks, which makes me happy... Oh, and every major browser I am aware of does support it, but hopefully you can now see that it is not associated with sessions or even stateful transactions. Okay well then here's another reason not to rely on keep-alive: Users can't copy a URL and paste as an argument to wget -c (or any of the download managers). I'm sure there are many, many more reasons, but I sincerely doubt I'd have to convice anyone not to use keep-alive for sessions. Hope that helps.

[PHP] ImageCreate / ImageCopyResized Path?
Hello everyone! Is it possible to define a path for ImageCreate and/or ImageCopyResize ? I have an image gallery script that uploads images to the server. I would like to automatically create thumbnails of the image [as soon as it is uploaded and saved in a sub-directory. Is this possible with ImageCreate/ImageCopyResize, or the other functions? My directory structure is ../media /images /thumbs/ I have an upload script that upload images to the media/images/ directory. But, I would like to automatically create a thumbnail of the same image, but saved in the media/images/thumbs directory. Is that possible? The final result would like: ../media/images/ |_image1.jpg |_image2.jpg |_thumbs |_thumb-image1.jpg |_thumb-image2.jpg Any suggestions? FYI: I currently have: $thumb = imagecreate ($w, $h); $image = ImageCreateFromJpeg($img); $imagedata = getimagesize($img); imagecopyresized ($thumb, $image, 0, 0, 0, 0, $w, $h, $imagedata[0], $imagedata[1]); imagejpeg($thumb, $img); This works, but it overwrites the original [uploaded] image with the thumbnail.

You have started a new thread by taking an existing posting and replying to it while you changed the subject. That is bad, because it breaks threading. Whenever you reply to a message, your mail client generates a References: header that tells all recipients which posting(s) your posting refers to. A mail client uses this information to build a threaded view (tree view) of the postings. With your posting style you successfully torpedoed this useful feature; your posting shows up within an existing thread it has nothing to do with.

The internals developers probably didn't see a need to provide

Ugh. This is the same misconception, again. Let's try some different
code:
?
function foo()
{
echo foo\n;
}
function bar()
{
return true;
}
bar() or foo();
The return of foo() does not matter. It is not evaluated.
Semantically, that is true -- but syntactically it still has to *have* a potential
value (since bar() *might* return false), so PHP will barf at the compilation stage if
instead of foo() you have a construct which *cannot* return a value. The distinction
is not whether the construct on the right of or is actually executed or not for any
given combination of input values, but whether it is *capable* of returning a value,
should it be called upon to do so.
I do not
understand why this is still unclear. Consider this:
if (!bar())
{
foo();
}
Does it seem like foo() is involved in the conditional when expressed
like this? I hope not.
No -- but expressed like this, foo() is not required to have a return value -- it only
needs to be executable. In
bar() or foo()
it must actually be *capable* of returning a value, even if that value can never be
used.
In short, it's a compile-time question (can this construct return a value if required
to do so?) vs a run-time question (does this construct need to be evaluated?).

[PHP] Returning a reference
Hi Folks,
I've been using the passing arguments by reference thingie for a while
now. But what I want to do know is something I'm used to using in perl,
returning a reference.
Situation is as follows.
3 ?php
4 # EXAMPLE
5 Class Foo {
6 function Foo() {
7 }
8
9 function SomeThing() {
10 $this-Changed = sure;
11 }
12
13 };
14
15 Class Bar {
16 function Bar() {
17
18 }
19
20 function AddFoo() {
21 $Ref = $this-Foos[];
22 $Ref = new Foo();
23 return $Ref;
24 }
25 };
26
27 $Bar = new Bar();
28 $Foo = $Bar-AddFoo();
29 $Foo-SomeThing();
30
31 print_r($Bar);
32 print_r($Foo);
33 ?
And this is the output:
bar Object
(
[Foos] = Array
(
[0] = foo Object
(
)
)
)
foo Object
(
[Changed] = sure
)
The $Foo-SomeThing() call changes the $Foo instance, and what I want it to
do is change the instance of Foo that is nested within $Bar. So that the
output would be like:
bar Object
(
[Foos] = Array
(
[0] = foo Object
(
[Changed] = sure
)
)
)
foo Object
(
[Changed] = sure
)
Sure hope to find any help in here .. Been breaking my head on this matter
for a while.
Thanks!

First of all you should be using $_POST and not $HTTP_POST_VARS (that is
of course if your version of php supports it).
Secondly, it's not working because (1) you are wrapping the sql
statement in single quotes which does not evaluate variables, it's a
string literal. You should change all those ' to , and (2) arrays are
treated differently than regular variables inside a string. They MUST be
wrapped with { } to be evaluated.
Third, it's a bad practice to not properly quote your array references.
In other words, the word ticketed should have single quotes around it.
Applying all these things your line should look like this:
$sql = UPDATE wo SET status = 1 WHERE ticket = {$_POST['ticketed']};
hth.
chris.
p.s. it's a Very Bad Idea(tm) to grab data directly from $_GET or $_POST
and put it to work before doing any validation on it.
p.p.s. I'm not positive about this but I'd be willing to bet that every
value gathered from $_GET or $_POST is considered a string and not
numeric. Think about it, how would $_POST know that ticketed is meant
to be an integer or a string?

Re: [PHP] configuration class - skeleton code for first OOP adventure
This will not work. For example if you have:
option1 = value;
option2 = value2;
then ereg_replace('value', 'changed', $contents); will make it:
option1 = changed;
option2 = changed2;
My plan is to have option1 = value; as old value and option1 =
changed; as new value. Not only the change value.

variables are not interpolated in single-quoted strings -- you need double quotes in

$sql = UPDATE wo SET status = 1 WHERE ticket = $HTTP_POST_VARS[ticketed];
or (my preference):
$sql = UPDATE wo SET status = 1 WHERE ticket = {$HTTP_POST_VARS['ticketed']};
(And, of course, if your PHP is 4.2.0 or later, you should probably prefer to use
$_POST rather than $HTTP_POST_VARS.)

Turck MMCache already installed. Now I need to do something with my urls. There are also problem emulating search engine friendly urls using / instead of because I use SSI, so I can not use post method in forms, while using GET it will be a bit difficult to handle all params correctly, or I'm wrong ? If all you need to do is change your URLs, the easiest method by far is to change them all to something like 'index.php/lang/en/menu_id/23' -- you'd need to add a parser function at the beginning, though. Try isolating the '/lang/en...' by comparing $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'] against $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] and then exploding the result and setting your request variables accordingly. I have never tried this with SSI, so I have no idea what sort of problems you may run into - you may be better off going with PHP includes all the way through. I have also recently read (on a different list) that Google in fact does crawl URLs with GET parameters, but I have not verified this and tend to avoid it as a matter of superstition. - michal migurski- contact info and pgp key: sf/cahttp://mike.teczno.com/contact.html -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Veniamin Goldin wrote:
Hello Mike,
Thank you for your help,
As I wrote already this issue is mainly because of search engines
incompatibility with dynamic content sites (to be more exact - with
urls containing get parameters, in my case ex.
index.shtml?lang=enmenu_id=23)
Which of your described solution would you suggest for my situation ?
Turck MMCache already installed. Now I need to do something with my
urls. There are also problem emulating search engine friendly urls
using / instead of because I use SSI, so I can not use post
method in
forms, while using GET it will be a bit difficult to handle all params
correctly, or I'm wrong ?
Thanks again.
I'm working on a solution for this problem myself, having a php bbs that
wasn't being indexed. The first thing I did was change these '?', '=', ';'
and '' in the urls. That raised the number of indexed pages in google from
30 to 600. Then I made the urls in anchors, all relative. That raised the
indexed results to 2900. Now I'm making the urls shorter, which I believe
will raise the number many thousands.
So an anchor with a url like this
http://www.example.com/directory/script.php?variable1=value1;variable2=2;,
is rewritten to this script.php/variable1-value1_variable2-value2. You
have to parse that url at the beginning of your script so it can get the
variables and their values. Here's the code I wrote for this:
?php
#get vars from friendly ulr
$arr1 = explode('/', $PATH_INFO);
$arr2 = explode('_', $arr1['1']);
foreach($arr2 as $element) {
list($key, $value) = explode('-', $element);
$$key = $value;
}
?
And you have to include the base tag to the html head, so that the
relative urls work correctly, or they'll be wrong because of the extra
directories and confuse the location of the real script. In this example,
it'd be base href=http://www.example.com/directory/script.php; /. Of
course, you may have to change this a bit if there's several scripts working
in your webpage, in my bbs case, it's only one script to show every content
depending on the values in the query.
What I'm doing now, is remove as many variables as possible from the url to
make it shorter and making it look like a file. Following the example,
they'll look more or less like this:
http://www.example.com/directory/script.php/12314-123.php;, the first
number for variable1 and the second one to variable2. Of course, you'll have
to design your url depending on your particular case, this works for me.
Another think I plan to add later, is some mod_rewrite rules to make them
even shorter and normal. With this, the las url I showed as and example, can
be changed to this http://www.example.com/directory-12314-123.php; or
whatever you choose. Making that url relative in the anchors, would change
it to this /directory-12314-123.php or .htm if you prefer it. That's a
pretty static, normal looking url, for a dynamic page. And it's in the root,
so it'll have more relevance in the search results.
The way I change the urls is not in the scripts, I use output buffering and
preg_replace the urls with the new version. I found preg_replace_callback
very comfortable for this, cause I find a url in the buffer, send it to a
function to do the modifications and return the new modified url to the same
place the old one was. I wrote different functions for this: one to change
the symbols in the urls, another to make them relative, another to use a
shorter version of the url.
I'm still new to this, so I may have written something wrong, but most of
the above I've tested and works, so you should be able to figure it out. I
hope you find something useful in what I've written. If there is something
wrong in my approach, please let me know so I improve a little. Thanks :)
Good luck.

RE: [PHP] Returning a reference [pretty much SOLVED]
Thanks Curt.
This solution works indeed. BUT, there's one but. Isn't there a way to not
have to tell PHP that I want the return of $this-AddFoo() as a reference?
In the actual code I want to worry as little as possible about specific
things like this. Isn't it a little strange that you have to both let php
know it's returning a reference as well as let it know that it's expecting a
reference as return value?

* Thus wrote Wouter van Vliet ([EMAIL PROTECTED]):
Hi Folks,
I've been using the passing arguments by reference thingie for a while
now. But what I want to do know is something I'm used to using in perl,
returning a reference.
Situation is as follows.
19
20 function AddFoo() {
Need to let php know this is returning a reference:
function AddFoo() {
21 $Ref = $this-Foos[];
22 $Ref = new Foo();
23 return $Ref;
I'm surprized this even works, its kind of confusing, i'd rather do
something like:
$foo = new Foo();
$this-Foos[] = $foo;
return $foo;
26
27 $Bar = new Bar();
28 $Foo = $Bar-AddFoo();
And then let php know you want this as a reference:
$Foo = $Bar-AddFoo(); -- don't forghet the $ sign

Re: [PHP] Credit Card Validation
Nathan Taylor wrote: My question is pretty obvious, I was wondering what the process for validating a credit cards with both preprocessing by the form to determine the pattern validity and post processing by a bank to confirm the actual card validity. Well since you asked about the /process/ ... and everyone else replied with hey, here is some code that does it for you... I'll be different and explain the process. The process starts off with the consumer hitting submit on a secure form with a credit card number. It would be best if you did some common validating yourself (for example, all Visa numbers start with 4, etc.), and such things as the expiry date isn't before the due date (don't think that hasn't happened before). Once you have taken care of these cursory requirements, you then send the credit card information off to your payment gateway. This would be someone like Paypal, Authorize.net, Paysystems, Worldpay, etc. The API for each gateway is different, but generally it consists of you submitting a POST request to a https:// address. In this POST request, you include the credit card number, the billing address, amount of purchase, the details of your account with the payment processor, and depending on transaction, a few different types of transaction codes (authorize, charge, credit, recurring, etc.). The payment gateway then takes the transaction details and verifies the authenticity of the information. It will then return the status of the transaction to you. Generally this is done via some callback URL that you specify in your account with the payment gateway. Some gateways (like Paypal) ... will take the consumer to their webpage and display the status of the transaction. Authorize.net for example has a whole host of return codes that it can return. Everything from address doesn't match ... to stolen card, etc. Your application will have to read these codes and deal with them appropriately. Assuming the transaction was authorized, the funds are transferred from the card issuer's account to either your account with the gateway (as is the case with Paypal), or directly to your account ... minus the transcation fees. Some gateways allow you to subscribe to a flat rate per period, in which you can have unlimited transactions, others charge a percentage of each transaction. That's a rediculously simplified version of the transcation process :) You can download the APIs for the gateways and see what kind of requests and responses your application can expect. Authorize.net's is quite comprehensive (I have it printed out -- gotta love Kinkos). -- 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

RE: [PHP] session experation
Sam, There is a way to keep a session active beyond the death of the browser, but the odds are that this will not do exactly what you want either, since killing the session on browser close is the customary setting. In my case I expected closing the browser to kill the session (or more correctly cause the browser to drop the cookie for the session ID). php.ini parameter session.cookie_lifetime was set to a value other than zero, and my sessions remained active even after the browser was closed (probably had other things going on as well), so that opening a new browser picked up the same session key (not too cool for my app) ;-). I'm not sure you want to deal with other aspects of this, like manually opening a new browser and using the session key (same cookie) of a browser already open? Just be careful.

Re: [PHP] Creating a Search field
I need to create a feature that allows users to enter certain words that can be searched ie search = 'red lion' this would return all data found with the words red and lion. If you're using MySQL 4.0, you can take advantage of its FULL TEXT searching (it's actually available in earlier versions but much better in MySQL 4). See the MySQL manual for more information. Otherwise, you'll need to parse the search box data to break it up into individual words, then create a query like... WHERE column LIKE '%$var1%' AND column LIKE '%var2%%'... This will be slow, so make sure your database uses indexes. Again, see the MySQL manual for more.

Re: [PHP] Need secure login
This first rule is never trust the client-side. The second rule is never trust the client-side. This means that relying on... a) the user accepting the cookie b) the user always using the same computer c) the user not deleting the cookie ... is a BAD idea. Frankly, if you force me to use a single computer to access your site, I'll just leave and never return. I have 3 desktops and a laptop, all of which I use at different times. Telling me I can only use one of them to access your site is like telling me I have to be wearing green socks whilst visiting your site. It should be about MY preference, not yours. Likewise, you can't tie a member to a mac address, or to an IP address. I don't really have a solution to your problem, and anything you DO implement will be a pain in the arse to users (otherwise Amazon et al would have already implemented it), but here's some thought starters\ -- all of which are deterrents NOT solutions. 1. Make sure that a user can't login from two different places at once, if the user does, generate an email report of the problem, so that you can keep an eye on users who might be abusing the system. 2. Randomly ask the user an additional question on login (DOB, pet's name, shoe size, postcode, etc) and compare it to Q's asked earlier. 3. Tell them repeatedly that sharing a userid/pass is against your acceptable terms, and that any members caught doing so will have their account closed without refund -- usually the idea of getting caught is a good enough deterrent. 4. Perhaps implement a rolling password system -- if this thing needs to be bullet proof. Each time they login, or once a month, or at random intervals, you could reset their password. Again, this ins't a solution, but it's a deterrent, because the user would have to keep their friends updated. Most of the above is guaranteed to frustrate users though. Is your site worth enough to your users to frustrate them? Is the content your protecting really that important? I doubt it :) Justin On Friday, October 10, 2003, at 11:44 AM, Manisha Sathe wrote: Hi, I have a client. He does not want member login by just giving password and login id.

Re: [PHP] Returning a reference [pretty much SOLVED]
If I recall correctly, the reason that the function needs to indicate it returns a reference AND you need to declare it when assigning variables is because the function will return a reference when instructed; however, you then need to inform the binary assignment operator that it should assign a reference. Essentially assignment usually assigns a copy of whatever it receives, whether it be a value or a reference. This might seem like inefficiency, but since data containers aren't actually copied until the data is modified, there is only the overhead of copying the container itself and not its data. I agree though, it would have been nice if the language could have figured it out itself, which should have been possible. Cheers, Rob.
