[PHP] Form variable can't transfer to web page

2004-04-13 Thread Morris Law
Dear all PHP users,

I have installed a new web server for PHP scripting.
I wrote a PHP form page to submit some variables to
another PHP pages.  After submission, I found that the
variables cannot be echoed out.   The scripts are as simple
like these,

!-- hello2.php--
body
?php
print form action=\hello.php\ method=\POST\\n;
print Name: input type=\text\ name=\name\br\n;
print input type=\submit\\n/form\n;
?

!-- hello.php--
body  ?php echo(Hello, $name!\n); echo(p\nWhat a bbold/b move
this is!\n); ?  /body

What sort of problem relating to installation is it?

Thanks for any inputs and advice.

[PHP] class design

2004-04-13 Thread Andy B
hi...

i was reading something on phppatterns website about class design. the
reading said that its best to take say a db extraction class that you might
want to write and instead of making one super huge class out of it called
db or whatever it would be called but to turn that db class into a bunch
of mini classes.
so instead of having:
class db {
//connect functions
//error functions
//query functions
//result functions
//so on...}
you should make:
classes: DbConnect, DbError, DbQuery, DbResult and so on...

was just wondering what the best way to do something like this is... i can
see writing different classes for different sections of db use but unless my
mind is super limmited right now that isnt really 100% possible or
reasonable  considering that some of those classes might only have 1 or 2
different functions in it... but then again i guess super small exact easy
to figure out classes are the best??

for example class DBQuery would have in it: Insert, Delete, Update, Select,
CheckTable, BackupTable, RestoreTable, TableList, DbList and so on... and
maybe that could even be broken down to 2 classes in itself: DbQuery and
DbInfo...

ok time to stop babbling i guess... just trying to figure out how i should
start going about this class writing deal and how to split the files/class
defines...

 !-- hello.php--

[PHP] PHP Web-Chat Software

2004-04-13 Thread Galen
Hi PHP people,

I'm looking for PHP-based chat software. This is more of casual thing, 
otherwise I'd go out and write my own that works exactly the way I 
want, but I just don't have the time.

I've tried several packages, and every single one has very significant 
browser problems. The problems go on and on and on... which chat 
programs (don't forget to mention the version you're using) have 
robust web-based chatting interfaces? I'd rather not try all of the 
hundreds of packages out there on several different browsers to find 
out!

Also, this has gotta be PHP/MySQL only - no daemons please! The 
requirements are simple, so I don't need loads of complex stuff, 
simpler (interface-wise) is better here, but I most need something that 
plain works!

Thanks,
Galen

1) many browsers flicker when a refresh happens
2) refreshes must occur very frequently to make chat window feel

Re: [PHP] PHP Web-Chat Software

2004-04-13 Thread Terence
I got this from the manual (i think):

?php
ob_end_flush();
while (10==10) { // cool while loop
 // get here som lines from a dbase or something
flush();
sleep(1);
}
?

This just continues a while loop until the script times out. We currently
use the refresh method but evaluating this as an alternative.
We call the database every second to retrieve any new lines of chat in the
room. You'll need to play around with a running
id to ensure you only get the latest lines.

Just a thought. Otherwise consider an applet. Check sourceforge, there are
quite a number.

Good luck.

2004-04-13 Thread Kelly Hallman
Apr 13 at 2:24am, Andy B wrote:

 DbConnect, DbError, DbQuery, DbResult and so on...

Right; chances are if you had all the functionality in one class, it's 
going to be pretty identical to writing it without using a class.

Above you've listed several logical classes you might use with databases.  
They make perfect sense because they represent tangible objects as you
might think of the process in an abstract sense. I think breaking down the
parts of the real-world process is a great start to approach OO design.

 i can see writing different classes for different sections of db use but
 unless my mind is super limmited right now that isnt really 100%
 possible or reasonable considering that some of those classes might only
 have 1 or 2 different functions in it... but then again i guess super
 small exact easy to figure out classes are the best??

First, there is nothing unreasonable or impossible about a class with one
or two methods. If it's a logical delineation, that seems perfectly fine.
In most cases, you might rough it out like that in your mind, but as you
are writing the code (or next week), new methods will occur to you.

Since you have created an object that makes sense, you've got an inherent
place to put that newly conceived code. Better to realize your DBQuery
object could use a method to write a SELECT query than to realize your
DBConnection object has a bunch of methods that actually should become a
DBQuery object that you didn't create because it seemed too lean.

To be more specific, breaking these methods into logically grouped classes
enables you to structure your code in a way that leverages OO. Rather than
manually handling a query result value, you can encapsulate a query result
into an object and have your DBQuery object return DBResult objects.

Imagine a function that returns an array. To make use of that array
result, the coder you must know what the array result means and write code
that incorporates that logic, every time it's used. Your code needs to,
for example, pull out a certain key to find a value within the result
data. If that key changes, then so too must all that code.

Compare this with returning an object--now your code does not need to work
with the structural nature of the result, it must only operate the
object's interface to fetch the value. This 'encapsulation' allows you to
freely alter the inner workings of an object without having to alter any
of the code that uses the object (provided you don't break the interface).

Illustratively, compare these arbitrary (and utterly generic) examples:
$x = $result['fields']['display']; // OR
$x = $result-getField('display');

The skeptic may not see a difference, however, suppose your results become 
more complex and now you'd like to change the structure of your result...
$x = $result['mydata']['fields']['display'];

Handling the array yourself now becomes much more overhead, because you've
got to go change all the occurrences. Whereas, encapsulated in an object,
the code would not need to change assuming you preserved the interface.

In many ways, returning an array is not much different from returning an
object, except the object has functionalities (methods) that operate on
the data, rather than relying on your knowledge of the data returned.  
Now the coder needs only use the object's interface. So you see, an
object is merely a complex data structure that 'does stuff'.

The point being, objects can interact in a way that more closely
represents the actual concept rather than arbitrary code required to
interpret the data in a way that relies on the coder's knowledge of the
structural content. Furthermore, the object's data structure can now be
changed centrally, with no ill effects on the rest of your code.

As for a strategy to approach the design, just begin thinking of the
problem in the abstract. How do you represent the process in more human
terms? What would the data do, if it had a brain? Model your objects
against that paradigm, and the code will begin to write itself. Okay,
maybe not quite, but it's much easier than it seems because the code flows
from real-world logic processes rather than being dictated by programmatic
issues you may need to address without OO.

Try it out, think conceptually. Get crazy: the more creative you get with
these ideas, the more neat things you'll find to do with OO. Often this
design process may require multiple revisions until you hit the right
balance. Like any design effort, it's worth the time--and gets easier.

Not sure I see the efficacy of this approach for the problem at hand, but 
what gets me is the cool while loop :) 10==10 is always going to evaluate 
true, and I realize that this is an infinite loop (until script times out) 
but why not just while(true) { } or, more commonly, while(1) { } ...?
That's a rhetorical question, by the way :)

When your PHP function has finished, just get it to output window.close

I have a php file that regularly connects to a number of servers in turn
using php's (ftp functions) and downloads files using ftp_get(...). This
usually works but often it just fails to download a file and ends up giving
a timeout error. Also it seems it can be any file.

I just cannot understand why when I run the script a number of times in
sucsession this will sometimes but not others. Any ideas?

p.s. The files I am downloading are '.sql' text files.

n if the server time is 13:15:46  I need to output that time +5hours
n so 18:15:46

I have this in an auto_prepend file or you can put it before using any
of the date() functions

 Can anyone tell me what would cause intermittent problems downloading files

 I have a php file that regularly connects to a number of servers in turn
 using php's (ftp functions) and downloads files using ftp_get(...). This
 usually works but often it just fails to download a file and ends up giving
 a timeout error. Also it seems it can be any file.

 I just cannot understand why when I run the script a number of times in

Re: [PHP] Call to undefined function: dbase_open()

2004-04-13 Thread William Lovaton
May be you should load the corresponding extension in your php.ini and
restart the web server.

Something like this:

extension=dbase.so

Then look back at your phpinfo(), you should see information about that
module.

I need to get all the numbers after the -
I there is a carriage return after the number.

My preg_match is like so if(preg_match(#([0-9]{8})# , $key1, $result)){
which works for only the first top number, but not for the rest.
If there away to get this it an array or do a grep on this.
There can be many lines that begin with Code 39-

This is basically one file read, that outputs many results.
with a carriage return at the end
So every line begins with Code39

I did a gettype() and I got a result of string.

If each line begins with Code39- and looks like

I would recommend the PDF class you can find here:
http://www.ros.co.nz/pdf/
It has support for tables and is pretty easy to use, from my 
experience. Previously, I had used another solution called htmldoc (you 
can probably find it on Google) that will convert HTML to a PDF file, 
but it's not as easy to deal with, and the PDFs it creates are, in my 
opinion, not nearly as nice as the ones created by PDF class above.

Also take a look at the fpdf class, it is a pdf generator written in PHP
that is free for use.  Implenting the PDF library in PHP results in slightly
lower performance but greater portability because the client doesn't need
third party libraries installed and free commercial use, pdflib requires you
to purchase a license for commercial use.

There homepage is: http://www.fpdf.org

A tutorial that specifically deals with generating tables using this class
is available at: http://www.fpdf.org/en/tutorial/tuto5.htm

Take a look at the set_time_limit function, it will allow you to set the

There is a default maximum run time for scripts of 30 seconds (it is

FTP operates on two ports, the first is for the control connection and 
it's on 21, the second one  is for data connections and it's chosen 
randomly (in most cases), the port chosen may be blocked by the firewall.

In fact it's quite common to see firewalls that have port 21 open but 
the firewall administrator has completely forgotten about the data 
connection.

If you want to connect from the *server* running php to some other box,
just use a system() call (once, of course, you have set up the keys so

AW: AW: [PHP] After calling a Function the Script aborts withoutanyerror :-\

2004-04-13 Thread Ben
to show all the code would be too much but some parts where the error
happens are here.
now i tried with function_exists..

define('SMARTY_DIR', 'smarty/');
 
 
require_once(SMARTY_DIR.'Smarty.class.php');

require_once(ichain/ua_index.php);  

require_once(framework/framework.php); 
require_once(framework/dbconn.php);

 
 
var_dump( function_exists('fw_db_connect') );
//true  included from file framework/dbconn.php
echo br;
var_dump( function_exists('fw_validate_kostenstelle') );
//false included from file framework/framework.php
echo br; 
var_dump( function_exists('ua_getConnect') );
//false included from file ichain/ua_index.php
die(here);

$ua_lnk = ua_getConnect();// here the
script would abort because the function doesn't exist,
// but it does


well as you can see in the comments the functions exist and are spelled
correctly (copy  paste).
the thing is in all included files are many functions. the problem here
is the first 2 work and
functions i want to call that are coded after line 100 or sth. like this
in the incldued files
can't be found. but i don't know why.

now i tried get_included_files() that shows me all the files that i
wanted to include correctly.
but in the list of get_defined_functions(), in the user list are just
some, but not all the functions,
that are really in some files, for example in the file ua_index.php the
function ua_getConnect();

if you need more source code, just tell me, because i still don't have
any idea what that strange beahviour
could caused by.

thanks a lot.

Mmmm... very strange...

can you print_r() the array returned by get_defined_functions(),
get_included_files() and get_declared_classes() and see if every thing
is going on right??  Use the last one if your included file define
classes too.

Can we review the code in the mailing list?? is it big?

 With this setting in off he two lines of code sometimes fails and some

 others doesn't fail.  But when it fails it does it completely silent.
 
 To workaround the problem I have to do:
 
 $tmp = bar;
 $x = foo($tmp);

 $tmp = $obj-getBar();

Re: [PHP] PHP Web-Chat Software

2004-04-13 Thread Galen
Hi,

You guys are all making some great suggestions. I think that javascript 
option (hidden frame) would work pretty well. I've done stuff like that 
on a project, though for a different purpose.

However, I'm not really looking to write my own chat software right 
now. Maybe I will if it's absolutely necessary, but if I have to, it'll 
be a while before I get around to it.

So to restate my question, how about pre-written software? Anyone got 
experience with it? Maybe any authors of it on this list? The problem 
I've seen with several of the packages is that the web browser 
performance is much less than optimal.

Hi PHP people,

I'm looking for PHP-based chat software. This is more of casual thing,
otherwise I'd go out and write my own that works exactly the way I
want, but I just don't have the time.
I've tried several packages, and every single one has very significant
browser problems. The problems go on and on and on... which chat
programs (don't forget to mention the version you're using) have
robust web-based chatting interfaces? I'd rather not try all of the
hundreds of packages out there on several different browsers to find
out!
Also, this has gotta be PHP/MySQL only - no daemons please! The
requirements are simple, so I don't need loads of complex stuff,
simpler (interface-wise) is better here, but I most need something that
plain works!

[PHP] Why not use assertions for input validation?

2004-04-13 Thread Fraser Campbell
Hi,

An article was recently published in Linux Journal entitled Real-World PHP 
Security.

Assertions are mentioned in the article as a way to enforce validity of input.  
I didn't even realize that php had assertions so I investigated a little 
further ...

PHP docs on the assert function 
(http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.assert.php) states Assertions should 
not be used for normal runtime operations like input parameter checks which 
contradicts the Linux Journal article.  An article in the user contributed 
notes (http://www.sitepoint.com/article/1008/) also states not to use 
assertions in production.

What is it about assertions that makes them unsuitable for production use?

I'm not sure if I got this right... Are you saying that ua_index.php is

list of defined functions??  Bear in mind that an included file doesnt
mean a well compiled code.

If so, it might be an error in the ua_getConnect() function.  Could you
post the code of that function.  Or may be the whole file??  Because, I
think the problem is not in that function but in a function declared
before ua_getConnect() and hence ua_getConnect() won't be declared.

Re: [PHP] Why not use assertions for input validation?

2004-04-13 Thread William Lovaton
Well, what ever I say might be wrong because I'm not an expert in
assertions.

First of all, I didn't know that PHP had assertions... so, cool! :-)

Second, I know that assertions are used in non-interpreted languages,
like C for example, and it gives a way to make some kind of debugging
when the code is compiled in debugging mode.  When a given condition
evaluates to true it will assert an specific message or situation.
But all the assertions are deactivated when the program is compiled for
a production environtment.

So, you can have debbuging code in your program with assertions and that
won't affect the performance or behaviour when it is compiled for a
production environment.

Remember, I might be wrong or inaccurate.  But I agree that it is not a
good idea to use assertions to validate input data or for normal
operations.

Or, maybe, the problem is that I can't figure out any way of retrieving

2004-04-13 Thread Curt Zirzow
* Thus wrote Fraser Campbell ([EMAIL PROTECTED]):
 Hi,
 
 What is it about assertions that makes them unsuitable for production use?

- For one, if assert() eveluates code like eval() does, there is very
poor performance hit using it and a lot of overhead just to do
simple statements that can easily be caught with an if statement.

- It isn't desined to replace the if statement.

- And with the example used in the article mentioned:

assert(ereg($regex, $email, $parts); /* Invalid email address: $email */);

  If assert.active is off, your validation is never checked.


A more appropriate use for assert() would to be to prevent a
E_WARNING/E_ERROR to be thrown for the regex:

assert('empty($email); /* email was empty */')
if (!ereg($regex, $email, $parts) ) {
  ...

So in the development and QA process if that condition ever arises,
then it can be fixed. So when the code is in production, we are
guaranteed that never will there be a 'E_WARNING: second paramter is
empty' issued.

Hi,

I've gone through several good PHP sockets tutorials, but all of them 
seem to focused on making socket servers. What I actually need to do is 
write a socket client. There's an app runnning on a distant server that 
accepts incoming TCP connections at such-and-such an IP address and 
port, and then responds to various commands and issues standard 
responses, etc.---I need to build the app that talks to it.

Now maybe I'm missing something really obvious, but I can't find any 
tutorials on what such a socket client app might look like. The client 
I need to build must maintain the connection once started.

You could always serialize the array to a value. and unserialize it
after the call to parse_ini_file().

I thought about that, but what I'm really after is not having to do any

My other though, which I probably should have mentioned, was to
patch php's ini handling to allow for something like

[Section]
var[1]=element1
var[2]=element2

...
Thus the results would be something like
Array 
( 
  [Section] = Array 
  (
 var = Array

 Well, maybe I'm being truly dense...  Both apps are running on the
 server, I have access to both session IDs, and I'm not using any
 rewriting.
 
 Did you take a look at the code I posted?
 http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-generalm=108150342911095w=2
 
 The problem is that once I start a session I am stuck with its data
 for the rest of the request.  I haven't figured out a way to close
 that session and then open another one.
 
 Or, maybe, the problem is that I can't figure out any way of retrieving
 the session data that doesn't involve calling session_start.
 
 Am I missing something obvious?  Thanks,

AFAIK you can't open two different sessions in the same request. I'm
surprised you don't get an error. That said, there's nothing stopping
your from directly reading the session data file (wherever you
configured it to be in your php.ini) and unserializing it's contents
yourself.

HTH,

If you really need to define arrays, just put them in a .php file and 
include() it. You're just going to use some hack to do it with an .ini 
file and parse_ini_file(), so why bother?

[PHP] Help! Reading from stdin

2004-04-13 Thread David G. Simmons
Please respond directly, as I'm only on the digest and need an answer 
ASAP!

I'm trying to read a file (currently sent to me via curl) and am having 
trouble. It worked once or twice, but not anymore.

The curl command could be either:

curl --data-binary file-name http://hostname/reader.php

OR

curl http://hostname/reader.php -T file-name

Neither seem effective.

I have tried (all from the php online docs):

 if(!isset($GLOBALS['StdinPointer'])){
$GLOBALS['StdinPointer'] = fopen(php://stdin, r);
 } else die(Don't have stdin!\n);
And it does not die. So stdin is open. BUT:

do {
$data = fread($GLOBALS['StdinPointer'], 8192);
$data = fread($fpf, 8192);
if (strlen($data) == 0) {
echo got no data!\n;
break;
}
$contents .= $data;
echo $data;
} while (true);
gets NOTHING.

So I tried:

if($DEBUG) echo _FILES:  . print_r($_FILES);
echo Userfile:  . $_FILES['userfile'] . \n;
if($DEBUG) echo HTTP_POST_FILES:  . print_r($HTTP_POST_FILES);
$uploaddir = '/tmp/';
$uploadfile = $uploaddir . $_FILES['userfile']['name'];
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], 
$uploadfile);

Thinking maybe the file was being sent as a POST ... but this ALSO gets 
nothing ...

I cannot figure out what's wrong, and would appreciate ANY help!!!

1) I had hoped to not have to hack :-)

3) If I'm going to code a special case then I might as well do it in the
same file as all of the other configs

4) It would save me having to write yet another save-the-changes

Enough already.  I'll serialize any array and then handle it as a special

files for tpop3d please respond to me off list as this is only semi-PHP
related.

Actually, I already have the script but the authentication isn't working  I
think it might be because I don't understand the crypt() requirements for

According to google there are several soap services that offer whois.  It
looks like a lot of them are old outdated links, however some still seem to
exist.  I'm not sure how anyone could ever profit from free soap services
unless they gave the service for free for long enough to become the standard
and then start to charge.  I'm guessing that is why a lot of the older links
no longer exist.
