Sounds like your PHP host did a thorough job of securing themselves.
If you can't do it, then you can't do it.  Then it's a matter of talking
to your PHP host's admin and convincing him that the feature you need is
worth the effort.

[PHP] PHP and PayFlow Pro Issues

[Henrik Hudson]

Hey List-

Hoping someone can point me in the right direction :)

OS: FreeBSD 4.4, patched
OpenSSL: 0.9.7c
Apache: 1.3.27
PHP: 4.3.4
PayFlow: 3.06

I've compiled PHP with various flags and the Payflow flag, 
--with-pfpro=shared,/usr/local  and added the extension to the php.ini file.

Running phpinfo() shows that the extension loads and when I do a 
pfpro_version() I get 306 spit back at me. The problem is this:

No matter where I do a pfpro_init() it just spits me back to whatever site I'm 
coming from in Mozilla and IE just sits and spins it's wheels forever. I 
can't find any messages in any error log, anywhere (Apache or PHP) as to what 
it's doing or not doing.

If I bypass pfpro_init and just call the process function (pfpro_process) and 
it's happy with it's input then it still "freezes" doing the init call 
internally.

Running the test.sh script from the CLI works just fine as does passing 
arguments to the pfpro binary directly, but I would prefer to work from 
within the library and not do system calls.

Any suggestions on where to look? or solutions? Did I just miss a step in 
installation?

Thanks.

Henrik

[PHP] ereg_replace help

[Martin Towell]

Hi All,

I have an array of strings in the following format:
"abcd - rst"
"abcd - uvw"
"abcd - xyz"
"foobar - rst"
"blah - rst"
"googol - uvw"

What I want to do is strip everything from the " - " bit of the string to
the end, _but_ only for the strings that don't start with "abcd"

I was thinking something like the following:
echo ereg_replace("(!abcd) - xyz", "\\1", $str)."\n";
but obviously this doesn't work, otherwise I wouldn't be emailing the
list...

Can anyone help? I need to use ereg_replace() because it's part of our code
library and therefore can't change :(

TIA
Martin

[PHP] About iMail Help

Hi,

Anyone know about imail.?

Re: [PHP] Making a Search Function?

[Ryan Thompson]

To reduce the time it takes to process it all you might want to try using LIKE 
in your queries. This means your script will only have to process say 50 
instead of 10 000 results. (Not saying your DB is this big).

For example:
SELECT page FROM table_name WHERE description LIKE '%$keyword%';

This is all off the top of my head so the syntax might be off a little.
Read some SQL documentation about LIKE for more information.

function is available anywhere in the project, and you can always add to

Second, this array needs to search against a description on the database.

exploding that into an array and then comparing all arrays against each

I'm pretty sure there's a way easier way to do this. Could someone enligthin

RE: [PHP] Communicating with remote server

[Vail, Warren]

If you don't care who sees your data, or you are operating behind a
firewall, then the simplest solution has already been mentioned (described
as http).

You basically code a script on your GTK app to perform an open (see fopen
function) to a url on the server machine like
"http://remotedbserver.com/phpfetchscript.php?var=foo&var2=bar"; where foo
and bar specify the data selection criterion for your database script.

On the database server, under the control of it's web server, the script
phpfetchscript.php executes, referencing the parameters passed in the url

$var1 = $_GET["var"];
$var2 = $_GET["var2];

the phpfetchscript.php on the server then runs the query and begins echoing
the comma separated columns from the database, perhaps ending with a new
line "\n";

Your GTK app now begins performing fgets reads against the data until fgets
returns a false and does what it needs to do with the data, perhaps loading
it into a grid control, or some such.

The caviate is that anyone who can come up with the correct url (and can
access your database machine), will be able to trigger the extract of data.
If this is not acceptable, then you need to consider other options.

good luck,

Warren Vail

Lot's of options.  

Will this access be across the internet, or behind a firewall?  

Are you concerned about securing your information from prying eyes?  

You seem to be focusing on a script that runs on the remote machine,
does
this machine have a web server as well, or will you be executing PHP as
a
standalone process?

I am taking it for granted that you have PHP installed on the remote
machine?

Do you have access to commands like REXEC, RCP, RSH, SSH on your local

What platforms are involved at each end?

[PHP] [Q] Development Best Practices

[Adam]

All,

I'm not new to programing or web development but I am new to creating 
dynamic pages.

I've read through a couple books. I've worked through problems and 
exercises. Installed and configured the software a few different times 
in Win32 and OS X. At this point, I feel I have a good handle on the 
environment and lexical structure. What I don't have is a grasp on best 
practices. For real sites I'm a little confused on how to implement all 
this new knowledge. For example, I've got a site that was static with 
bits of CGI to PHP. I was going to generate all the HTML from a PHP 
script, but that turned into a mess. So I tried creating the pages is 
mostly HTML with little bits of PHP. Placing the logic in another file 
and linking the two pages. I'm not really sure if that is the best 
approach.

My question, how do you guys build your pages? Do your scripts generate 
all the HTML? I'm looking for tips and resources. Remember for my first 
site I've embarked on a fairly large site. Code maintenance will be an 
issue for me as I need to enhance and fix it later on.

Thanks guys!

Regards,
Adam

Have you tried it with the optimizer off?

Anyway, you may want to enable debug to be able to see in the Web server 
error log, which scripts are actually crashing. Then you may try 
isolating the fault to figure what exactly is the code that make the 
server segfault.

[PHP] file descriptor problem with tcpclient

[Bill Shupp]

Hello,

I'm trying to use the program execution functions (like exec, system, 
passthru, etc) with tcpclient (from Dan Bernstein's ucspi-tcp command 
line tools), but get this error in the apache log with all of them:

tcpclient: fatal: unable to set up descriptor 7: file descriptor not 
open

Any idea why this descriptor is not accessible?  Here's what I'm 
running:

Apache/1.3.28 (Darwin) PHP/4.3.2

Thanks!

RE: [PHP] Communicating with remote server

[Vail, Warren]

Lot's of options.  

Will this access be across the internet, or behind a firewall?  

Are you concerned about securing your information from prying eyes?  

You seem to be focusing on a script that runs on the remote machine, does
this machine have a web server as well, or will you be executing PHP as a
standalone process?

I am taking it for granted that you have PHP installed on the remote
machine?

Do you have access to commands like REXEC, RCP, RSH, SSH on your local
machine, and are the required daemons running on the remote machine?

What platforms are involved at each end?

Just a few questions that may have an impact on your solution...

For mysql queries I use this...

function db_connect($dbhost,$dbname,$dbuser,$dbpass) {

global $MYSQL_ERRNO, $MYSQL_ERROR;

$link = mysql_connect($dbhost,$dbname,$dbuser,$dbpass);
if (!$link_id) {
$MYSQL_ERRNO = 0;
$MYSQL_ERROR = "Connection failed to the host $dbhost";
return 0;
}
else if(empty($dbname) && !mysql_select_db($dbname)) {
$MYSQL_ERRNO = mysql_errno();
$MYSQL_ERROR = mysql_error();
return 0;
}
else return $link;
}

$link_id=db_connect(dbname,db_user_name,db_user_pass);
Mysql_select_db(dbname, $link_id);

$query="select * from tablename";

$result=mysql_query($query);

The easiest way is using filesystem functions with url wrappers:

$request = fopen('http://server/function.php?f=fname&arg1=foo','r');

if(!$request) alert_user('Could not connect!');

and now read the response and parse it. (I just realized you can use 
serialize and unserialize functions, that will be realy easy for you)

But this works only if you don't send large datasets to the server, then 
you need to use post mothod, really easy with an http class, check out 
this one: http://www.phpclasses.org/browse.html/package/3.html
There is an example for the post method.

Without real benchmarks, all claims on speed are just that:
unsubstantiated claims.

But one nice thing about .NET is that it provides a nice framework that
is available at all times and is fairly optimized.  It's like having
PEAR installed automatically.  And having your APIs consistently named
also helps the developer to more easily remember the interfaces.

Re: [PHP] Looking for Spam free php form

I am looking for a canned php form which hides the recipient email from

You couldn't write one yourself?

The key is to store the email address' in a server-side array or DB, 
and only give them the option of seeing the address' related name or id 
in the form, rather than the address itself.

Build the form:


 $p)
{
echo "{$person[0]}\n";
}
?>

After the form is submitted, you match the recipient ID with an email 
address server side, and send the email with mail().


$id = $_POST['to']; 		// eg 3
$to = "{$addr[$id][0]} <{$addr[$id][1]}>;	// eg Bob Smith 
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
?>

A basic form (once you know what you're doing) shouldn't take more than 
15-20 minutes... then add in some email address validation [1], make 
sure all fields were completed, add in a site-wide header and footer, 
make sure everything validates to whatever DOCTYPE you're using, and 
all is well.

Better still, rather than something canned, you will fully understand 
your script, and will be able to customise it to suit any situation as 
needed.

If the remote server has webserver with php, you can use http protocol 
to call functions and get the results. You can use one of the http 
classes that can make both get and post requests in your GTK-PHP app, to

return information from the server I would use XML, but you can use 
other format - csv, or even php code that you will eval()

Keep security in mind!

Sorry but I don't follow what your doing here.   Form one doesn't need

should have.

Does that make more sense or am I just not understanding what your

I've never coded anything for .NET, so I can't speak to that.  However, 
in all the test my company has ever done, php on Linux/Apache blew the 
doors off of .NET on Win2k/IIS when it came to speed.

They also (claim) that Microsoft's SQL is much faster and such vs. MySQL.
This person is just wrong here.  MySQL is one of the, if not the fastest 
RDMS' out there.  MSSQL is, well to put it nicely, SLOW.  MSSQL has more 
features than MySQL (not for long though), but as far as speed goes, not 
even Oracle can compete with MySQL, much less MSSQL.

Any comments to help me defend PHP or to educate me?
There's no need to defend PHP...it speaks for itself.  Not to mention 
that with most MS people, it doesn't matter how much fact you show them, 
they won't believe it.

Is it possible to pass the values of a form directly into an array?

I have a multi level, dynamic form.  The first level (first form
actually) askes how many levels there are and gives you a field to
enter in that number. 

Then upon submit of form1 it creates a new form (form2) that contains 2
fields for each level (the number of levels was entered in form1).  So
if you entered 2 in the first form, you'd be given another form with 2
lines, each containing 2 fields.   

Ok, now on submit of this second form I want to take field1 from each
line and put it into $array1 and field2 from each line and put it into
$arrray2.  

Then pass those array's to a function as elements.  Any idea how I can
do this?

Yes but $_POST[] array contains ALL the fields using an index of their
names.  I need the entries for field1 in one array and the entries for
field2 in another.

In a later function I need to move through the arrays incrementing their
index with every pass.  This can only be done if the array index numeric
as opposed to "named" right?

The field names in the form are like this

Tier1,price1
Tier2,price2
Tier3,price3

These are built automatcally and I need all the "Tier" values in one
array and all the "Price" values in another.

[code snip begin]




Enter the upper size limit and price for each Tier


Tier  Limit 
Tier  Price 

Email Size

Jay, something you might want to look into is called database
normalization. That is the process of taking redundant information out
of database tables and putting it into separate tables (as to reduce
redundancy). It's what Matt described above.

First you can take you database connect statement out of your loop and
put it somewhere before the loop, no need to connect multiple times.

The second thing I would do, and this is just at a glance of the code,
I would separate it into 2 tables, inventory(the table you already have)
and inventory_pics (or something like that) and make that a one to many
relationship, one row in the inventory table can have many rows in the 
inventory_pics table.

I can take closer look at your code tonight.

Of course not... lol...sorry...

But this does:



$function must be a user defined function, I guess.

Same as with your example, you could just use $f(); instead of
call_user_func ($f);

Just depends which is clearer to you...

function A ()

function B ($f)

B ('A');

[PHP] passing second function through a function

[Ian Truelsen]

What I want to do is to call a function from within a function, but pass
the secondary function name through the first function. Like this:

function1(function2)

Then call function2 from within function1. Unfortunately, I have been
unable to figure out the proper syntax for calling the second function.

Does anyone know if this is possible and what the proper syntax would be
for calling a function from a variable name?

[PHP] Compensating for time zones in PHP

[Dave G]

PHP Gurus,
I'm building a calendar which does some things like compare
dates. For example, if an event is in the past, then the link in the
calendar is made inactive. To do this I'm converting everything into
UNIX time stamps, so I can do simple "greater than" or "less than" type
equations to figure out which dates come in what order.
Here's how I've got it set up:
$currentMonth and $currentYear are the month and year that the
user has selected to look at. $dayCount is where I'm storing the date. I
build the calendar table by using a loop to put in the right date in
$dayCount and then echo it out in each table cell to draw a months worth
of dates.
So, to compare dates, I take these variables and make it into a
unix timestamp:
$dateFromPHP = mktime(' ',' ',' ',$currentMonth, $dayCount,
$currentYear);
Then, I get all the relevant event dates for that month from
MySQL, like so:
$query = "SELECT UNIX_TIMESTAMP(eventdate) FROM table WHERE
MONTH(eventdate) = " . $currentMonth;
I put the results into an array called $dateFromMySQL.
Okay, now here's where it gets wonky. If both PHP and MySQL are
set to default time zone settings, then this following command will
return some results:
if (in_array($dateFromPHP, $dateFromMySQL)
I use the results to determine if in any one table cell I need
to do some handling of events. If there are no matches in the array,
then I just echo out the date. As I say, this works fine when I don't
try to adjust time zones.
But, if at the top of my PHP script I declare the time zone as
being in Japan, like so:
putenv("TZ=Japan");
Then the in_array command never returns anything anymore.
I don't understand why this happens. Since I don't specify the
hours, minutes, or seconds, the time zone difference shouldn't apply.
I thought maybe MySQL needed to be set to have the same time
zone as the PHP script, but, according to my web hosting service, that
is impossible to set for just my site without affecting all the other
sites on the same server.
So I need to compensate for different time zones between my
script and my MySQL server. But I can't figure out how to do that since
I don't know why there is a difference in the first place.
Any help would be much appreciated.

It probably looks for the last table tag. Is that so? Then you need to 
tell the script in a modifier that it should not be greedy (not my

letters after the patern itself, in your example the i (do not make a

line breaks). Try adding a U for making it non greedy. If that does not 
help check the docs on 'non greedy'.
Thanks for advice! The letter U did the "thing".
Are there more modifiers than letter i,s or U and where I can find more 
information on modifiers?

To add a little bit to this conversation, one thing I heard about the .NET
technology is that it supports multiple scripting languages in one file. Not
that it would really (usually) be the best thing, but that means that you
can use Perl, C#, PHP and ASP.NET all in the same file..

Maybe I am misreading this question but why not just use id's
instead.  For example, in your database you might have:

  id name  email
  1  john  [EMAIL PROTECTED]
  2  fred  [EMAIL PROTECTED]

In the form you use the names, and unique ids, and the backend
will get the email addresses from the ids.  This way they choose 
names to send to but don't see the email addresses.

Why not just encode the recipient as "david" or "joe" or "1288" and then
determine the real address in your script based on that input.  Think of
aliases with your script (or an external file if more convenient) as the
address book.  Of course, if there's only one possible recipient then
there's no need to show address, alias, or anything.

But the point is that your wish to have it would force that upon those

that someone can download your contributed patch/enhancement and include
it in the build.

If enough people want some item included, then they mmight or might not
be able to convince the code maintainers to include that piece, and can
always fall back to making a patch to the source tarball and/or even
making a very-similar-but-yet-completely-independent product.

That'll just result in the number 1, though, since the conversion to
"float"
will stop at the comma.

If you know that it's just going to be commas in there, a simple
str_replace(',','',$number) will get rid of the commas. Then PHP's type
juggling will take care of the rest for you and treat it like a FLOAT if
it
needs to be. Or you can then use settype() to ensure it's a float.

Faulty PHP doc:
PHP is capable of transforming links transparently. Unless you are using PHP

pass --enable-trans-sid to configure. If this build option and the run-time

Now all works.

No reason that shouldn't be working. Let's help out PHP a little more...



Try that. You're telling PHP to use the session id passed in the URL (which
it should do by default, anyhow) by calling the session_id() function before
session_start().

Are you clearing your cookies while doing all of this? session_start() on
the second page may be picking up an old cookie instead of picking up the
value in the URL...

But it's true, you can solve most of the security problems by tightening up 
the firewall so that nothing goes in or out.

Also, characters are being escaped unecessarily. The "table" fragment should 
probably be simply:

  

ie no need to escape the forward slash (/) and the greater-than sign (>).

RE: [PHP] Microsoft .NET arguement

[chris . neale]

I agree. I've found MS SQL (and MS Access databases) to be extremely fast
when well optimised, even with massive databases. As you can interface with
them using ODBC I prefer to use MS database backends when my clients already
have them installed alongside PHP for Win32.

Hi,

From my experiences, your coworkers are somewhat correct.  I found
MySQL to
be as fast in most cases, however in databases with millions of records,
MySQL started slowing down before the MS SQL did.

As for PHP being slower to program, I disagree.  Its about the same,
and in
some cases, PHP might have a few more shortcuts.

Maybe they're using some visual editors to speed them up?

The question is, why do you need to get to that point? I think you're doing
to much work. You already have the variable $Array2[0][0] that you can use
anywhere, why do you need to assign it to yet another variable.

Maybe you just need to look at foreach() for looping through the array?

What was your point of getting $var0, $var1, $var2, etc... there's probably
a better method for whatever you're doing.

RE: [PHP] Microsoft .NET arguement

[Dan Joseph]

Hi,

I will give MS credit, they are aware they need to do better, and are
making strides to be better.  I won't fault them on that until they give up,
or stop progressing.

As for secure environments and code, even linux+php applications and
servers can be volnerable.  I think the whole OS vs OS arguments, and Code
vs Code arguments (in regards to security) are humorous.  Yes, get a good
firewall, and have an auditor audit your system and code.  That will give
you a secure environment.

Actually, their claim is that Microsoft environments are secure - you just
need the proper firewall (that, basically, the problems with Windows boxes
has to do with the firewall, not the OS).

That one I laughed at.

[PHP] confusing ouput!

[ike strong]

For a trial, I saved the following input in ..\apache\htdocs as suggested. 
 


Today's Date


Today's Date (according to this web server) is



 
But this is the only thing I could see on my browser: "Today's Date (according to this 
web server) is"
 
After severeral trials and inspecting the httpd.conf configuration file, I tried the 
following input:
 

 
  PHP Test
 
 
 Hello World
 

 
This time nothing appeared on my browser. I'd really appreciate some help with this 
one.
 
I installed apache 1.3 as a server and it runs fine each time I click on "Start Apache 
in Console"
 
I'm mainly interested in using these facilities for my private learning so I chose to 
use PHP as a module in apache - I'm a newbie to this affair! So I hope this wasn't a 
wrong decision. Nevertheless, the follwing are the few lines I added to the 
httpd.conf. file:
 
#LoadModule php4_module c:/php/sapi/php4apache.dll 
#AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
#AddType application/x-httpd-php .php3
#AddType application/x-httpd-php .phtml 
#AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
#AddModule mod_php4.c
#
 
I'd appreciate to hear/read from anyone who has managed to solved this sort of problem 
before.
 
Thanks in advance

Always there for ya, man :-)

There are ways to do that -- I personally would create a kick script
outside of the htdocs tree, give the apache user permission to run that,
and call that script from an https page with some authentication -- but
you always have to fall back to "if that script fails, then I need to log
in and use the shell" anyway.


% But then thinking of it I realize that if I stop apache from a script, once

% I cant run any php to restart it...right?

You certainly can't run any php web script :-)


% So I guess my question gets cut down to basically "any good place/program to
% learn/use SSH?"

As you've been shown, ssh is nothing magical; what you want to do is
learn how to use a *NIX shell.  Think DOS command prompt.  If you can
already use a command prompt, then try an ssh in and look around (ls,
chdir, pwd, ...).
