[PHP] transfer coding
Dear Sirs, I gave a post problem and can't solve last a couple of weeks. Todays I come some point but need to ask some thing. I have a destination server and configured to receive some datas. Owner of the server gives the same name of the different data. His idea is that let the internet explorer encode same name data and send to his server with following code; tr tdData 1:/td tdinput type=text name=data /td /tr tr tdData 2:/td tdinput type=text name=data /td /tr tr tdData 3:/td tdinput type=text name=data /td /tr As you see, three field has the same name as data When I use this html with internet explorer, I have no problem to post data. But when I use following post method, I can not send data. I think I need to do something more for message transfer coding such as use some charecter between same data to let destination server understand. I try to find some solution from HTTP Messages - RFC2616 but no result. Any idea? $str = data=$data1|$data2|$data3; $p = POST /httppp/servlet/ppp HTTP/1.0\r\n; $p.= Host: 152.31.228.206\r\n; $p.= Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n; //$p .= \r\n; //erorr $p.= Content-length: $len\r\n; $p.= \r\n; $p.= $str\r\n; // $p.= \r\n; $server = 152.31.228.206; $connection_timeout = 10; $fp = fsockopen ($server, 80, $errno, $errstr, $connection_timeout); -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] HTML Frames and PHP Sessions
Are PHP sessions compatible with frames in HTML? I'm trying to pass a user name through a session and my individual frames aren't receiving the variable. It worked prior to migrating to frames so I don't think it's my PHP that is the problem. Is there a target function somehow or some way to pass it down from the _top frame to an individual frame or frames?

At 08:29 21/09/2004, Minuk Choi wrote: I've been meaning to ask this... but I always thought I could find the answer online(I didn't). Back when PHP 5.0.1 was released, PHP 4.something else was released. What was the main reasoning behind this move? Is it because PHP5 is more OOP(similar to java)? PHP 4 is currently in maintenance mode. Generally it only means that there will be bugfix releases for it, without any new features. It might be possible that we'll release a PHP 4 version with a couple of new features at some point for people who don't upgrade, but they won't be major. The reason for releasing these releases based on the 4 tree is to allow users who don't wish to upgrade (which at the very least requires some QA to make sure nothing went wrong, and in some cases requires some code adjustments) the ability to stick with the old codebase, and take a very low risk with a bugfix release.

Are you using session? Then you need to use
session_cache_limiter('private_no_expire');
before starting the session.

Re: [PHP] Weird characters output
Wouter van Vliet wrote:
characters are being replaced by weird characters. EG: the ' single
quote is being replaced by a question mark
First check you use iso-8859-1 (latin-1) as encoding everywhere,
unless you really want to use unicode (utf-8 encoding):
- in html pages generated from php
meta http-equiv=Content-Type content=text/html; charset=iso-8859-1
- as mysql default encoding (see mysql doc)
- as apache default encoding for html pages served (see previous post)
The single quote (') is probably not the standard ascii one,
but the dumb Micro$oft 'smart quote', which uses a code
defined in windows charset 1252, but not in Latin1 (iso-8859-1),
ie in range \x80-\x9f (128-159). See [6] -- search for cp1252
Problem come from not respecting standards (latin-1 encoding),
by example when a user fills a html form by cutpaste from M$-word :(
To avoid this, all user supplied datas must be validated,
by first removing/translating invalid chars.
Solution is to convert invalid chars to valid ones.
On a unix/linux/bsd box, perhaps man tr and info recode can help.
Or the cp1252 to Unicode table [5], with interesting bits below
(invalid latin1 chars). This can help you write conversion functions,
like I did for cp1252 to utf8 html (unicode) in [6] with strtr.

This works fine, builds fine, but when I run make install, it freezes. HOST php-5.0.1 # make install Installing PHP SAPI module: apache This is the point it freezes My only workaround has been to remove the whole Apache install, and then re-build a fresh apache, a fresh PHP and then run make install which works fine. There has got to be a better way, and/or something I am missing here. Any ideas? Thanks! -Brad -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] Fork PHP script X at a time.
Not sure if anyone is interested in what I have come up with, its busy
running just now but it seems to be performing ok.
$do =0;
$ok =0;
$count=0;
while($do!=1){
if($ok==0){
$sql = SELECT * FROM locations WHERE parent = '0' AND doing=0 and
done !=1 ORDER BY num DESC LIMIT 0 , 1;
$res = mysql_query($sql) or die ($sql.mysql_error());
while($_data = mysql_fetch_array($res)){
$id = $county_data[id];
$sql2 = UPDATE locations SET doing = 1 WHERE id= '$id' AND
siteid=1 AND parent = '0';
$res3 = mysql_query($sql2);
exec(/usr/local/bin/php fork.php .$data[id]. /dev/null
);
}
}
$sql = SELECT * FROM locations WHERE parent = '0' AND doing=1 AND done=0;
$res = mysql_query($sql);
$oknumber = mysql_num_rows($res);
if($oknumber == 5) $ok=1;
else $ok=0;
$sql = SELECT * FROM locations WHERE parent = '0' AND done=0;
$res2 = mysql_query($sql);
$donumber = mysql_num_rows($res2);
if($donumber==0) $do=1;
}
In my fork.php script I set it to done=1 and doing = 0 once it has
finished.
This is pretty rough and ready and as my shell account won't let me do a
top i can't tell what sort of drain my loop is having on the system,
but hopefully it will be ok.
Just thought it might be an idea to post up this solution in-case
someone else has the same problem.

Also running them in a loop one at a time is no use because it takes

[PHP] How do I send XML attributes via Soap?
Hi, I'm having trouble sending a request containing XML attributes in a soap request. I don't know how to go about doing it. Previously to pass XML as a soap request from my client to the server I would go throw the following steps: (1) Create the XML string. (i.e xmlstr = XML propertiesproperty id = 10/property/properties XML;) (2) Than I would make it an xml object: $xml = simplexml_load_string($xmlstr); (3) Next convert it to an xml complex type for the server $xml1 = new SoapVar($xml, SOAP_ENC_OBJECT, xml, http://thenamespace); (4) Send the request: $client-SoapCall(new SoapParam($xml1, )); However when I do a $client-__getLastRequest(), I get: PropertiesProperty/Property/Properties The Property field is coming up blank in the request with no attributes. How would I go about sending it so the attributes are there? Any help would be appreciated. I'm really stumped on this one.

Do you have a form element named 'submit' on the page that submits to
this script? Right after the if statement you can echo something out
just to see if it's working
if (isset($_POST['submit'])){
echo ( It worked );
If you don't see the output, then your if statement is returning false.

RE: [PHP] inserting timestamp into mysql field
If you are working with a timestamp in some other format, this works well: $ts = date(Y-m-d H:i:s,strtotime($sring_with_timestamp)); If you want to create a timestamp at the execution time, this works well: $ts = date(Y-m-d H:i:s); Both will generate mysql compatiable date/time stamps.

As well as that, you should send absolute URIs when you're using
headers, so instead of:
header('Location: ' . $url);
you should use
header('Location: http://www.mysite.com' . $url);
if you want to adhere to the HTTP standard.

Re: [PHP] deleting directories
its pretty easy to make your function recursive, all you need to do is
test if the current file is a directory (if (is_dir($file)){run
function} else if (eregi('/_vti_cnf/',$file))), then delete all files
as long as they are located in a _vti_cnf directory. And I'm sure
I've done something wrong that won't please someone on the list, but
hopefully this baic idea works and someone will be able to improve on
it.

[PHP] simplexml and xpath
So I've just recently fallen in love with simplexml. But from what I've
read, is it true that xpath doesn't really work properly?
I'm using an XML file that has a section like this:
item
titleTitle/title
linkLink/link
descriptionDesc/description
dc:subjectSubject/dc:subject
dc:date2004-09-20T18:15:00+00:00/dc:date
/item
My sample of my PHP code is:
?php
$library = simplexml_load_file('file.rss');
foreach ($library-item as $item) {
echo $item-xpath('dc:date');
}
?
I just want to get the date. Am I doing xpath incorrectly or does xpath
not currently work properly in PHP5?

Re: [PHP] Infinate looping
Are you by any chance doing something like this?
while (1)
{
$dbh = mysql_connect(x, x, x);
mysql_query(...);
sleep(10);
}
If so, you could run into that maxclients problem very quickly because
you're not closing those mysql connections (they'll time out eventually,
and there are persistent connection options in php.ini), but as you're
only running one thread, you should never really have more than one
connection open at a time - a well-placed mysql_close() may do wonders
Of course, that's just a guess as to how your script might be executing
If it really matters to you, you can get a cron job to execute (I think)
every second, which would probably be a better solution
Or http://uk.php.net/manual/en/features.persistent-connections.php might
have some useful info - I don't know because I haven't taken the time to
read it :)

i haven't paid a lot of attention to your setup. are you running this

Basically I have a file that connects to a database, before the loop, and
then checks the database for new messages. If there are, it displays them
accordingly
if via php through the
web server i suspect you're running into a maxclients problem (your
client connections aren't closing fast enough so you're using up all
the client connections).
I was thinking this could be the case. Is there any way not to use up
maxclients? I'm just running one loop, though it may be infinite.
if you're running this through your web server, a much more efficient
approach would be via a php-cli or perl application. either of these
should be able to run as continuous tasks without causing other
problems.
I would run through command line but I'm not sure how. This is a chat script
anyway, and I'm not sure if I have command line abilities on my production
server.
Also, I was thinking of maybe using a socket server. Are socket servers
allowed by mainstream web hosts or do you need certain privileges to open a
socket and connect to them?

PHPlist (phplist.com) seemed promising but I read on their forums that it takes some users hours and hours to send a couple thousand emails. Without terminal access, I suspect the PHP sending page will time out long before most of my emails have been sent. You're comparing apples to oranges here. The amount of time it takes to send the mails isn't based on PHPList but on: 1) The MTA being used to send the mails and 1a) how that MTA is configured 2) Available bandwidth To give an example, where I work, we have a bulk mailer we've developed. The management interface is PHP, but mails are sent via a perl application. The perl application sends the mails via Postfix. Now, selecting the addresses to mail and sending the mails from the perl process takes very little time; it can do that in minutes per tens of thousands. If we didn't limit Postfix, it can send around 100,000 mails in 1.5 - 3 hours -- but that takes up several T1s, and the *available* bandwidth is only 1.5 T1s -- which pushes it to around 4-5 hours (Point 2, above). However, if we consistently use 1.5 T1s, that puts us into a different price bracket at our ISP... so we limit Postfix to a certain number of simultaneous processes... and now that same 100,000 mails takes 10 hours (Point 1a, above). Now, these are examples with Postfix; those numbers might be different using Sendmail (which can be similarly optimized) or Exim (which tends to optimize for lower volumes of mail), etc. (Point 1, above.) So, you can see, the mailer is less dependent on the frontend (PHPlist, to use your example) than on the underlying server architecture. Does anyone have suggestions for a quicker mailer? I'd like to be able to import users in bulk, and I'd like to let users sign up and unsubscribe automatically. PHPlist does all that but... I don't want to set it all up and then find out I can't send my newsletter. It's supposed to be an announcement-only list, BTW. If you can, I'd suggest something where the mails are sent by a cronjob or a listener daemon of some sort -- this way, you don't have to wait for the process to finish on your browser, and you won't have to worry about how long any given mailing is taking. I don't know of any packages to recommend -- as I said, the system I work with we home-brewed (and it's not publicly available). -- Matthew Weier O'Phinney | mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Webmaster and IT Specialist | http://www.garden.org National Gardening Association| http://www.kidsgardening.com 802-863-5251 x156 | http://nationalgardenmonth.org -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] php5 and php4?
* Minuk Choi [EMAIL PROTECTED]: But then, don't you run the risk of having 2 different architectures, that is, PHP5(possibly PHP6) and PHP 4.something may evolve down to include different features or even different behaviors? PHP4 is in *maintenance* mode -- that means no new features. PHP5 may introduce new features, and PHP6 definitely will, but at this point PHP4 will only experience bugfixes and security updates. -- Matthew Weier O'Phinney | mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Webmaster and IT Specialist | http://www.garden.org National Gardening Association| http://www.kidsgardening.com 802-863-5251 x156 | http://nationalgardenmonth.org -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Anyway, he did not say that he was using a platform that can run Postfix. If he is using Windows 2000 or later with IIS/Exchange, he can actually queue messages much faster than piping to postfix. -- Regards, Manuel Lemos PHP Classes - Free ready to use OOP components written in PHP http://www.phpclasses.org/ PHP Reviews - Reviews of PHP books and other products http://www.phpclasses.org/reviews/ Metastorage - Data object relational mapping layer generator http://www.meta-language.net/metastorage.html -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Anyone using SPL Iterators?
I've been looking around for some SPL (http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.spl.php) examples and uses, but have only found one good article on Sitepoint (http://www.sitepoint.com/article/php5-standard-library/). Is anyone using SPL iterators out there? Any examples you'd like to share that you find useful? Iterating through databases or large files, etc? Just curious what people are using this for before I write some stuff myself. :) -- ---John Holmes... php|architect - The Magazine for PHP Professionals - www.phparch.com -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Subject: using foreach() to capture multiple selections
hi,
i would like to to put multiple selections from a form list into a single
variable using foreach but am unsure how to do so.
can someone advise how to adapt the following code?
?php
print You are interested in: ;
foreach($myGoals as $value)
{
print $value ;
}
?
I'm not totally sure what you are looking for. It looks like you have
values in an array $myGoals. I'm assuming you collected the form values
in the array, so you have $myGoals[0], $myGoals[1], etc. Are you saying
you want all the values in MyGoals added to a single variable as a
string? If so, look at the function implode.
www.php.net/manual/en/function.implode.php
Or, you can have a statement in your forrach loop something like:
$string .= $value. ;

Depending on your host operating system and local mailer, there are ways to tell to just queue the messages and deliver them later when possible, freeing your PHP much faster to queue messages to different recipients. Just let me know which OS and local mailer system (sendmail, qmail, postfix, exim, IIS, Exchange, etc.) do you use so I can advise. I'm aftaid I have very limited information about the server configuration. I'll have to ask my host since I can't find the info on their web site.

[PHP] alternative to mysql_field_name()
hi there,
i am currently using the following code to loop through the results of a
sql query and extract the field names ($export contains the query
results from the database). the script goes on to place the results in
an excel file.
for ($i = 0; $i $fields; $i++) {
$header .= mysql_field_name($export, $i) . \t;
}
however, i'd like to add more meaningful names as the field name
headings in the excel file. can anyone suggest how i can write a list of
tab separated headings into $header?
the rest of the script can be found here:
http://www.phpfreaks.com/tutorials/114/3.php
many thanks,
luke.
