[PHP] off-list topic: Debian vs. Redhat

[Wang Feng]

Greetings,

Have been working with Windows for many years, I'm planning to *migrate* to
Linux.

Googled Debian vs. Redhat. Found that more commercial software vendors
support Redhat rather than Debian. Why does this happen?

Also, Debian contains more than 8000 packages, which is much more than the
number of packages Redhat has, buy why the Redhat needs more than 600MBs
harddisk space while Debian needs less than 200?


Which one are you using or prefer? Why? Which one should I use? Suggestions?



Thanks for your time.


cheers,

feng

Re: [PHP] Oracle - Win32

[imran]

-Edit the php.ini file

GET THE DLLs:

The Dlls for mssql and others (oracle, sybase, etc.) are NOT included in the
installation (Install Shield Wizard) in the root folder.

Get the other package for windows systems (NO Install shield!).  Just plain
files.  After unzipping the file, look for the subdirectory called
extensions.  NOT the dlls folder! You'll find a bunch of dlls with the name
format like such: php_xxx. For Oracle DD, you'll need php_oracle.dll.  Take
the oracle dll.

PLACE THE DLL(s):
Place the dll you want in the root folder where you installed php locally.

EDITING THE PHP.INI:
Your php.ini SHOULD be in the Windows System Root (commonly C:\WINNT).
Ok, in the php.ini file, look for the Paths and Directories section.
Your extension_dir path should look like a DOS path like this:
extension_dir = C:/php/   ; Point the directory where you installed php
; inside the root should be the dll you placed!
If the default value of extension_dir is = ./ REMOVE IT!  This path should
be identical to a DOS path!
Ok, this is just a side note:

If you find a comment section for Windows Extensions inside another section
called Dynamic Extensions that has a bunch of lines like this:
;extension=php_xxx1.dll
;extension=php_xxx2.dll

un-comment this line for oracle dll...

THAT's it!
Save the php.ini.

Now you can call Oracle functions

[PHP] ldap authentication to win2k domain controller

[Redmond Militante]

hi all

i've been given the task of writing an app with a login mechanism that authenticates 
against the active directory users list on a windows 2000 domain controller.

i have an apache 1.3.28 webserver running on FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE, with php4.3.1 
nstalled

i don't have openldap support compiled into php, nor do i have mod_auth_ldap installed 
as an apache module.  i've read two different sources that tell me i may need at least 
one of these, but i'm not sure exactly how to get started.  

can anyone tell me what i need to install/compile to get ldap authentication against 
my win2k domain controller going?  if anyone knows of any good tutorials, i'd be 
really interested as well...


thanks

Perhaps a better term (or usage) is 'context' posts.  Bottom
posts, IMO, can be just as bad as top posts.  Context posts have
the advantage of having one thread but multiple  sub-topics involved

true, but php exec's your program through a pipe.  So because a the
pipe opens bidirectional handles for input and output, I believe the system
can't let the program go into the background because the output
handle cant be released.

Another option, and may be cleaner, is to enable and option to your
C program to daemonize itself. 

HTH,

Curt

I think it all falls under the "cryptography" category, but you're right -
it doesn't fall into the encryption/decryption scheme since it is only

md5 is a one-way hash function. It is great for passwords. (I'm not sure if
that technically qualifies as encryption because it is nearly impossible to

Subject: [PHP] Echoing string with single quote from $_POST


Hi,

I'm building a form where a user can enter text. When the form is submitted
I'm doing some validation before continuing. If the form isn't filled
correctly, then the user has to correct it before continuing. However, I
want to save the data that has been entered (some of it may be lengthy), so
I'm doing this:



If the $_POSTed string has quotes in it, the output contains a slash

"It's great" becomes "It\'s great" on the page.

I've tried echo addslashes($_POST['adTitle']);} and that doesn't work. Is
there another function that will output the string just as it was input?

I've searched through the manual and haven't found anything yet. Just
thought you all would know off the top of your head(s). :)

Thanks,

James

the function characterData can be called with whitespace which is probably

Most things are explained well by the online manual, and you should read and
re-read the session documentation. That said, I'll also say that the
documentation on sessions is not as informative as I'd like it to be, and I
still get reports of sessions expiring before they should.

Look at the output from echo phpinfo() and check these session configuration
options:

session.cookie_lifetime -- should be 0, lasts until quitting the browser
session.use_cookies -- should be on
session.use_trans_sid -- should be on

Some things aren't explained very well, like what does
"session.gc_maxlifetime" mean? The maximum time before garbage collection to
remove session data that hasn't been used? But to minimize the chance of
garbage collection on a shared server wrecking your sessions, you can
specify a directory for saving session data. Create a directory (on the same
level as your directory of publicly-viewable files if you can) and before
the 'session_start();' line, do 'session_save_path("../my_sessions_dir");'.

Also be aware that circumstances on the client side can mess with session
cookies and cause the session to be lost, like using Internet Explorer with
Entourage in Mac OS X.

Yeah, that is the 'hack' solution I came up with too. LOL.

I guess I was hoping for something more elegant...

Is there a reason that PHP doesn't handle the & properly? I mean, it seems
as though you'd have to go out of your way to force it NOT to spawn the task
in the background. If PHP was just executing the command in a shell, it
seems that the OS would handle the & for you...

Where are you expecting gedit to appear? try with -display argument
Also, try other commands, such as ls first.

Re: [PHP] PHP weirdo bahavior (code mutation)

[Mohamed Lrhazi]

Thanks Khalid... but that still does not help :)

The problem does not reproduce systematically, at all.. here is another
example I just found in a new log of my script:

Here is my code first:

$table="client_package";
$sql = "INSERT INTO `$table`
(`cp_id`,`client_id`,`pack_id`,`pack_price`,`parent_cp_id`,`cp_start_stamp`,
 

`cp_renew_stamp`,`cp_billing_cycle`,`cp_status`,`cp_comments`,`cp_renewed_on`,`cp_stamp`,`aff_code`,

`aff_last_paid`,`domain`,`ip`,`server`,`username`,`password`) 

VALUES(NULL,'$client_id','$pack_id','$price',NULL,'$domain_created',

'$domain_expires','$bcycle','$cp_status',NULL,'$domain_created','$cp_stamp',NULL,
NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL) ";

$result = $db_mbill->query($sql);
if (DB::isError($result)) {
mylog(__FUNCTION__ . ":" ."[MbillClientID: $client_id]:" ."sql was:
$sql ");
mylog(__FUNCTION__ . ":" ."[MbillClientID: $client_id]:" .
$result->getMessage());
return false;
}else{
mylog(__FUNCTION__ . ":" ."[MbillClientID: $client_id]:"
."Successfully added pkg Domain Registration [$domain_name]");
}


Now here the log, again this does not happen systematically, often the
code works... but when it does not, it s very weirdo :


__FUNCTION__:[MbillClientID: 4135]:sql was: INSERT INTO `client_package`
(`cp_id`,`client_id`,`pack_id`,`pack_price`,`parent_cp_id`,`cp_start_stamp`,
   
`cp_renew_stamp`,`cp_billing_cycle`,`cp_status`,`cp_comments`,`cp_renewed_on`,`cp_stamp`,`aff_code`,
[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED] date or
[EMAIL PROTECTED],`server`,`username`,`password`)
   
VALUES(NULL,'4135','12','0',NULL,'1038200400',

Any ideas?

[PHP] Re: Get fields values from a string.

[Cristian Lavaque]

yup

you could do something like this

$string = 'field_value1:field_value2:field_value3';
$array =  explode(':', $str);
foreach($array as $substring){
list($field, $value) = explode('_', $substr);
$$field = $value;
}

hope this helps

The main tasks I use it for are preparing directories with files that
shouldn't be included with CVS, rolling out stage and production versions
of sites, keeping log and cache files under control, and pulling in copies
of external resources like libraries of functions or classes.

It's nice to be able to set up your make rules, so that you can type `make
ready`, to have all your temp and log directories created with the proper
write permissions, or `make clean` to flush them out. `make live` or `make
stage` encapsulate the various rsync commands needed to push a site onto a
remote server (or the commands necessary to ssh into that remote server
and call `cvs update` while there), and `make db-clean` flushes out the DB
and recreates all objects from scratch.

The sitch is that I'm scanning/pinging/nmap a HUGE amount of IP addresses.
Perhaps 254 - 65000 or more individual iP addresses. We have a multithreaded
scanner that we wrote in C that can to this quickly, but it's still a wait.
It pulls from a db the ips to scan and sets their up/down flags. My php
scheduler page queries to get the ones that are up. 

So as you see, I don't want to wait for a return code, I know the status via
the db and how many rows are done/need to be done.

[PHP] Sessions

[James Johnson]

Hi,

I'm trying to track down some issues with my site, and am trying to decide
if it's a session variable issue. On a random basis, it appears that session
vars are being dumped, deleted, or unset, as the site will break. Queries
based on session vars don't work, session vars not being displayed, etc.
This seems to happen most often after a page has been idle for a couple of
minutes and a refresh is done on the page.

This is on a hosted site. I have checked the configuration settings with
phpinfo(); and session support is enabled.

On all pages where I use $_SESSION[], I have . This has been double checked.

1) Do session vars timeout, or can they be set to timeout after a certain
length of time?
2) Is there anything other than session_start(); that needs to be done when
using session vars?
3) What other things can I check for?

Thanks,
James

[PHP] controlling cvs from php

[Jeremy Andrews]

Hello,

  I'm trying to login to a cvs repository and upload/download files from a
php script utilizing the 'cvs' command.  I'm trying to avoid the use of
external libraries, etc...

  Is it possible to do this with popen, or more likely with proc_open? 
I'd prefer to do it with the former so as to not require PHP 4.3+, but in
my testing I've been unable to do it with either command.

  I've looked through the examples of using proc_open at php.net, but have
been unable to translate these into a script that simply logs into cvs. 
The return code from proc_close is always 1, and the best I've gotten is
an error saying "used empty password; try 'cvs login' with a real
password".

  Any pointers into how I can make this work would be greatly
appreciated!!

Here's roughly what I'm trying to do:

--

  $dspec = array(
0 => array("pipe", "r"), // standard in
1 => array("pipe", "w"), // standard out
  );

  $proc = proc_open("/usr/local/bin/cvs -d pserver:@my.server:/home/cvs
login 2>&1", $dspec, $pipes);

  if(is_resource($proc)) {
$output .= fgets($pipes[1], 1024);
$output .= fgets($pipes[1], 14);
fclose($pipes[1]);

if (!fwrite($pipes[0], "cvspassword")) {
  echo "Error...";
  exit;
} 
fclose($pipes[0]);

echo proc_close($proc);
$output .= "command returned $return_value\n";
  }

Thanks,
 -Jeremy

You can figure who apache/php is running as by using shell_exec() on the

It all depends on how PHP is set up.  Do something like:

$fff = fopen ("./temp","w");
fwrite($fff,"testing");
fclose($fff); 

in a directory chmod 777.  Look at the user id.

(For what it's worth on my system its UID 518).

{
  if ($first)

That is pseudo code though.  (i.e. I don't have time to test it and
debug it and make it nice and neat and readable and conform to your

[PHP] XML / XLS application

[orlandopozo]

Hello mailing list, I have a question about the use of XML / XLS
application, I am introducing myself in this technology, What is useful XML
/ XLS for? , I need a basic example, basic application of it, because I
don't find the use of it. I know that XML is used to interchange data
between every system in standard way (Why XML is standard?, because I
understand that depend of the client browser they have a particular XML
parser to retrieve information of the XML document, if would have only one
standard XML parser, could be), and with XLS you transform the XML document
to HTML format, postscript format, and so on, but in order to transform the
XML document you need to know the syntax of the XSL and I think that its
another language that you need to know. Another doubt is if XML document
replace DB, because I read a book that has a methodology to transform DB
table into a XML document, and use a XML parser to retrieve the data, I read
another example that the script use a SQL statement like XML SQL Select, you
execute it, then the DBMS server give you the XML document, then XSL or XLST
convert the XML document, and finally you obtain the HTML in the client
browser, well, Thanks for any help, bye :).

[PHP] Repost: Help needed on PHP+IIS+filesys

[Michael Kochendoerfer]

Hi,

does anyone know how to handle file and directory paths on a IIS 5.0 
server? Problem is that the server has multi-domain and each domain has 
an 
associated 'root' dir below e:\webspaces.

So if one uses relative path strings, an opendir() for example will fail. 
One has to use "e:\\webspaces\\root_of_domain_1\\images\\" to access the 
/images folder of the configured domain 1.

I'm sure there are functions and env vars to accomplish this, but I'm 
quite 
new to PHP and didn't find them yet.

Problem is (I didn't describe it in my former post) that I'm unable to 
set 
a global document root that is valid for all domains and subdomains. I 
guess the webserver would assemble the path by itself, uniquely for each 
domain, to get the desired result.

Practical example: On one domain, they mix up FrontPage and PHP. Since 
FrontPage doesn't like PHP, they construct one part of the web using 
FrontPage (and its features like so-called 'designs' - which aren't more 
than stylesheets - and common borders - which are simply files in a 
hidden 
directory '_borders'), and the other part using PHP.
To combine both of them and to make them look almost the same, they could 
include a header and a footer.

Header file/section looks like:

";
  include "./_borders/top.htm";
?>

Footer looks similar except for the filename (which is 'bottom.htm' 
here). 
When included in a .php file at their 'root' level, it works well. But if 
they use a subdir like /scripts, it won't. And changing the include file 
from ./borders/top.htm to /borders/top.htm, PHP puts the complete 
physical 
path to the left of the filename. But this is not relative to their root 
:-
(

To recall: Their root level is (physically mapped):

e:\\webspaces\\root_of_domain_1


Hope this has been clear enough to show my problem.

Thanks in advance!

I
have checked the DB and the startDate column has a valid date in it.
Is the startDate the same as the current date?  My bet is that strtotime() 
thinks your first paramater is an empty string, and then applying that 
conversion relative now().

Just to clarify this, strtotime has two ways that it behaves, if the first 
paramater looks
like a date (ie 2003-12-01), then it will return the unix timestamp for 
that.  Other wise it
will treat the string as a modifier to the relative time of the second 
parameter (defaulting to time()).

I hope that clarifies things.

[PHP] Major wierdness - ack!

Hi,

I'm getting so frustrated with this.

I have put some error trapping code in my site with the following code (an
included file):



I have a page that hits the database to display the records. One of the
columns is 'startDate'. I format this for display like this:



The page returns the following error:

[ERROR][8][Undefined index:
startDate][/home/.paco/campuscb/campuscorkboard.com/search_jobs.php:319][ERR
OR][8][strtotime() called with empty time
parameter][/home/.paco/campuscb/campuscorkboard.com/search_jobs.php:319]10/1
0/2003

If I comment out the error_reporting include file, the page renders fine. I
have checked the DB and the startDate column has a valid date in it.

Ideas?
Thanks,
James

Incidentally the procedure for correcting the number is flawed. If you
(original poster) have a 9 digit number with an area code beginning with
a 1 then the required additional 1 will never be prepended. Really what
you want is if the sequence of numbers is 9 digits long then precede
with a 1.

Rob.

CVS rocks the house.
If you're completely new to it, I have a quick introduction to it at
http://www.evolt.org/article/A_brief_introduction_to_CVS/21/60153/

If you've used it before, I can write more about how it can be used in

[PHP] PHP weirdo bahavior (code mutation)

[Mohamed Lrhazi]

Hello all,

I am using a PHP application called modernbill, which uses iocube
encoder... PHP very frequently dies with SIG fault... 4.3 dies
systematically

While working on this problem I stumbled on this behavior :

In my code, I have something like this:

$table_customer="customer";
$sql="select * from [$table_customer] where [id] = '$id' ";

$result = $db_plat->query($sql);
if (DB::isError($result)) {
mylog(__FUNCTION__ . ":" . "sql was: $sql "); 
mylog(__FUNCTION__ . ":" . $result->getMessage());
return false;
}else{
$row = $result->fetchRow(DB_FETCHMODE_ASSOC);
}

Well, sometimes, at least twice I noticed it, sometimes I get this in my
log file:

sql was: select * fro?2351ERROR_RETURNd_id] = '2351'
DB Error: Syntax error.

There are binary chars after the "select * fro"

How could that possibly happen? Who changed my code?

Thanks for any input.

Hello Everyone,

   I am trying to display a JPG image to a use, who has logged in. Some 
research on google revealed a way to do this. I am using the following 
code to display it.

if (session_is_registered("valid_user")){

if(session_is_registered("cmi")){

header("Content-type: image/jpg");
$file = "docs/picture1.jpg";
   header("Content-disposition: attachment; filename=$file" );
readfile($file);

 } 

My question is that while this approach works fine with Mozilla on the 
MAC and Win platform. it throws up a dialog box asking whether the user 
wants to download  the file or view it. However IE on either platforms 
does not work fine. On the PC it does not recognize the file extension 
correctly. While on the MAC side of things, it just shows the image in 
the same frame.

Any suggestions would be most welcome. !

[PHP] imagepsloadfont returns wrong datatype

[Michael Winston]

Hi-

I *finally* got imagepsloadfont() to work on my Mac OS X box (it 
helps if you actually have a .pfb file).  Now I'm having problems 
with another aspect of imagepsloadfont().  The docs say it should 
return an int, however it's returning a resource.

I'm guessing this is why imagestring and imagepstext aren't working - 
because they require an int for the font.

Is this a bug?  Am I doing something wrong?  Am I not understanding the docs?

Thanks,
Michael

[PHP] Echoing string with single quote from $_POST

[James Johnson]

Hi,

I'm building a form where a user can enter text. When the form is submitted
I'm doing some validation before continuing. If the form isn't filled
correctly, then the user has to correct it before continuing. However, I
want to save the data that has been entered (some of it may be lengthy), so
I'm doing this:



If the $_POSTed string has quotes in it, the output contains a slash

"It's great" becomes "It\'s great" on the page.

I've tried echo addslashes($_POST['adTitle']);} and that doesn't work. Is
there another function that will output the string just as it was input?

I've searched through the manual and haven't found anything yet. Just
thought you all would know off the top of your head(s). :)

Have a look at the use of "\w" which matches "words". Which characters are 
valid for words depends on your locale setting.

And have you verified that you can still connect to the ftp server via other 
means?

And have you verified that the script can connect to other ftp servers?

I'm using Evolution under linux :/ nd I've been using email and mailing
lists (or newsgroups before that on BBSs etc) for about 15 years. I
havn't seen this as much of an issue until recently.

I generally trim. But then again, I top post short and quick answers,
intermingle contextual answer, and bottom post when I feel the need for
flow.

I dunno, I see banners all the time which have the characters running
vertically and left to right. While this is still left to right, the
orientation is changed, and I've never heard anyone complain about
vertically oriented banners.

That's why I emphasised the *most*. However my theory is that bottom posters 
are most likely to be people who have been using email and mailing lists long 
before MS has even heard about the internet. Why bring MS into this? Because 
if wasn't for their damned Outlooks then top posting would probably be 
unheard of.

Like I said above *most* of them do. There is a noticeable exception, a 
gentleman who goes by the name of Tom :-)

I'll bet you a beer that bottom posters are more likely to trim their posts 
than top posters. The very concept of top posting does not encourage people 
to trim posts, they just add their stuff to the top, probably don't even see 
or care how much rubbish there is underneath and hit the send button.

Anyway all that needs to be said about top vs bottom posting can be found in 
any decent guide to using mailing lists.

But we're talking about English which usually goes from left to right and from 
top to bottom (at least does where I come from!)

[PHP] Display a JPG Image

[Pushpinder Singh Garcha]

Hello Everyone,

  I am trying to display a JPG image to a use, who has logged in. Some 
research on google revealed a way to do this. I am using the following 
code to display it.

if (session_is_registered("valid_user")){

   if(session_is_registered("cmi")){

header("Content-type: image/jpg");
$file = "docs/picture1.jpg";
header("Content-disposition: attachment; filename=$file" );
readfile($file);
} 

My question is that while this approach works fine with Mozilla on the 
MAC and Win platform. it throws up a dialog box asking whether the user 
wants to download  the file or view it. However IE on either platforms 
does not work fine. On the PC it does not recognize the file extension 
correctly. While on the MAC side of things, it just shows the image in 
the same frame.

Any suggestions would be most welcome. !

Thanks in advance
Pushpinder Singh

[PHP] ftp_connect() issues

Hi All,

A script that has been running successfully for over 18 months has suddenly
stopped working due to ftp_connect() failing. I have been assured that
nothing has changed on the ftp server so now need to try and find out why
this is happening. ftp_connect seems to only return true or false, no
specific RFC error codes :o( Can anyone suggest where I can start looking
for a resolution to this matter?

Running PHP 4.2.3 on a Cobalt RAQ4.

TIA

You need to either move the urlencode function outside of the quotes

echo "";

Or encode it first:

$s_array1_encoded = urlencode($s_array1);

echo "";

I think the second is easier to understand.
