Hi,
I'm getting an error trying to install PHP 5.0.2 on a fresh Fedora Core 2
installation:
Sorry, I cannot run apxs
apxs was not found
I verified this by searching the drive, it is not there. Is Apache
installed by default without using --enable-so ?
If so, what can I do?
Thanks,
Don

Thanks so much for the insight which is a much simpler way.
I successfully set up a test page (a form) that takes email to, from,
subject and body and sends it.
?php
$emailto=$_GET['emailto'];
$emailfrom=$_GET['emailfrom'];
$emailsub=$_GET['emailsub'];
$emailbody=$_GET['emailbody'];
$headers = From: $emailfrom\r\n;
$headers .= Return-Path: $emailfrom\r\n;
if(mail($emailto, $emailsub, $emailbody, $headers)) {
echoEmail Sent;
exit;
}
echo Email Error;
?
However, when I send a message to subscribe to the EZMLM list, it sends
ok, but doesn't get added to the list. When I send a test message to
myself I noticed that the Return-path in the email sent is not what I
set in my script, but that of the apache user. I wonder if that is
where the EZMLM-sub gets the address for submission and is sending the
confirmation to the dead mailbox.
Any insight?
Thanks,
Mark

Hi Mark,
I'm writing a little script (my 3rd) that takes name (first, last)
and email address
and writes it to txt file and submits the email address to an EZMLM
list server.
All is well but I'm not sure where to go for the submission.
The command line - ezmlm-sub works (from the shell)... if the user is
root or vpopmail.
Is there a safe way to run the shell command via a php script?
Or can someone suggest another way to submit an address to ezmlm.
You can make use of the public interface to ezmlm-sub by sending an
email to listname[EMAIL PROTECTED]
You'll need to set the 'From:' header of your emails to the address of
your subscriber.

[PHP] Help with sessions problem please
I'm having a bad day with sessions which hopefully someone can help me with. A user logs in to my 'site' (script1.php) and I store relevant details in a session, all fine. I redirect to another page (script2.php) which checks and retrieves certain session values, all fine. My problem is with script3.php which happens to be within an iframe in script2.php. When the user is automatically passed to that page, from log in, the session details are not available but if the user makes a (menu) selection the session values are available to script3.php within the iframe. help ! Simplified code: script1.php ?php session_start(); [some code] $_SESSION['user'] = $_POST['user']; [some code] $hdr = Location: script2.php?.SID; header($hdr); ? script2.php ?php session_start(); if (!isset($_SESSION['user'])) Header(Location: ../index.htm); Does not redirect.

You need to use full URLs in your header() redirects, first of all.
header('Location: http://www.example.org/script2.php?.SID);
Is a session cookie being set at all? You redirect to script2 and pass
the SID in the URL, so that's why the session persists. You're not
passing the SID in the URL for the source of the iframe leading to
script3, so the script doesn't know what session to pick up.
Try: iframe name=content src=script3.php??=SID?

I think Jason hit the nail on the head with this one, but you might not understand the answer. While script3.php might seem to be within script2.php, due to the visual layout you're providing with the iframe, this is completely independent of the technical implementation, which is that each is a separate resource. If that's confusing, think of an iframe as a little embedded browser. If it fails to properly identify itself (via cookie or URL), then there is no existing session to resume. Your call to session_start() will actually create a new session every time script3.php is requested. Hope that helps.

RE: [PHP] Help with sessions problem please [SOLVED]

[PHP] looking for a few php partners/developers....
Hi. We're currently working on a project and need a few php developers to really ramp up the creation of the application/system. We're building an overall system to allow college students to buy/sell used books online. The systems to support this effort have a number of components that have to be fleshed out/created. The role of the developer will be to essentially create the support apps. As a developer, you will be part of the team, with a sweat equity position. We do not look at this as being a full time commit, nor do we believe that the initial implementation should take a great deal of time. While we could do the development ourselves, we need to greatly accelerate the process!! I've intentionally kept this short, as I don't want to abuse the bandwidth. If you're interested, drop me a line, and we can discuss what we're doing, and how we're going to get there...

[PHP] Re: Determine variable with the lowest value?
Why use the min function? Just sort the array and then grab the first element in the sorted array. No random picking required. E Paul [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks guys. Yes I figured using an array and the MIN function would be a start. Now the random part. Boot [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Any help with this would be appreciated. I am trying to come up with something that will find which variable(s) have the lowest value and inidicate which variable this is. In the event that variables have an equally low value then it is to randomly pick one of the variables and idicate which this is. I have been able to do this by means of if comparisons but the more I variables I add then the more complicated and messy it becomes. There has to be a simpler way. If it makes any difference, the variables could just as easily be array elements. example: $a = 2 $b =2 $c= 4 $d= 5 $e=6 $f =7 the code should determine that $a and $b have the lowest value, and randomly pick one of them. if $a was = 1 instead then it would just pick $a Thanks for any suggestions! -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

That's true, but the reason is that I had an issue last time I upgrade (from 4.3.4 to 4.4.8), not a big one, but enough to force the rollback and retry after analyzing and solving the cause.

OK thanks but I guess I didn't explain what I am trying to do properly. I need to be able to identify the variable name as well as pick the variable with the lowest value. Something like this: Whose turn is it to take out the garbage? Mike has done it 3 times Bob has done it 2 times Jane has done it 5 times etc... Therefore its Bob's turn. Eric McGrane [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Why use the min function? Just sort the array and then grab the first element in the sorted array. No random picking required. E Paul [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks guys. Yes I figured using an array and the MIN function would be a start. Now the random part. Boot [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Any help with this would be appreciated. I am trying to come up with something that will find which variable(s) have the lowest value and inidicate which variable this is. In the event that variables have an equally low value then it is to randomly pick one of the variables and idicate which this is. I have been able to do this by means of if comparisons but the more I variables I add then the more complicated and messy it becomes. There has to be a simpler way. If it makes any difference, the variables could just as easily be array elements. example: $a = 2 $b =2 $c= 4 $d= 5 $e=6 $f =7 the code should determine that $a and $b have the lowest value, and randomly pick one of them. if $a was = 1 instead then it would just pick $a Thanks for any suggestions! -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] User Defined Forms
Hi, I am creating a site where users record details of their clients and record their progress. The whole point of the system is to reduce the amount of paper work and store everything online. The problem here is that each user will have their own forms to fill in on their clients, some will record different data to others and some will have more forms than others. Therefore I believe I am correct in saying this would be impossible to store in a database as each user would require their own fields etc. One other solution I have thought of is to have each user create a set of PDF forms when they sign up and each time they fill one in they upload it to the server for storage.

RE: [PHP] User Defined Forms
I have interviewed a few users and it has become instantly apparent that they all work differently and record slightly different information about their clients making it impossible to produce a general set of forms that would encompass all users. I haven't done any other forms of modelling as yet. Create a global list of information that your users want to record about their clients. Review it and generalize information as much as possible. Divide the information into groups based on who uses it. Hopefully you'll end up with sets of information that are common to all with only a few sets that are user specific. Work with your customers a lot here, because it sounds like they are generally confused on how to organize their information. Ie. They are relying on your help for that. Also keep in mind that, in many cases, there is general information that everyone wants to record about their clients and that anything else is usually considered notes. So, for example, if you create a table for the client's name, address, phone, etc. and then create a notes section, you've captured a majority of the information that your users want to track for their clients. Ultimately, after all of that and if someone's willing to pay for the development time, you could theoretically setup a series of forms where the first form prompts for general detail and then, based on who's logged in, you could present additional forms. You could even design the logic behind forms to respond based on information that's entered. For example, if the first form asks for the client's city, follow-up forms may prompt for data specific to that city.

RE: [PHP] User Defined Forms
I think the problem here will be in the database design. You certainly could store PDFs or the like, but then someone is going to want to run queries, produce reports, make updates etc etc. The problem (I think) is to come up with a db design that is not fixed to a given form structure. Using the relational model this is going to be tricky. I'm sure someone somewhere has done something along these lines but to what level of success I've no idea. I have (in the past) been involved with non-relational data models that could possibly overcome the db design issue, but you are then looking at having to use technologies that are maybe new to you and possibly costly. For example using Java/XSLT with a non-open source database server. However, having said all that the PHP-General mailing list is probably not the place to be discussing this.

Re: [PHP] User Defined Forms
I have interviewed a few users and it has become instantly apparent that they all work differently and record slightly different information about their clients making it impossible to produce a general set of forms that would encompass all users. I haven't done any other forms of modelling as yet. User data like name age address etc will probably apply to all cases but that is where it will end. The site is intended for use by Personal Trainers and each personal trainer has their own way of recording information, creating programs for gym users etc... Kind of sounds like you need to develop a form builder for them to customize their forms. You'd want to make a table that holds the name and type for each field. Then you'd want to make a table that would house the fields each form wants to include. A final table that would hold the name of the form, and the user who has rights to use it. This doesn't sound real difficult, but time consuming. Does that make sense? -Dan Joseph -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] include()ing into a variable
Hi Curt,
Thanks for replying.

//open file...
}
function write($buf) {
//write to file...
}
function close() {
//close file
}
}

$obSaveFile-open('/path/to/file.html');
ob_start(array($obSaveFile, 'save'), 1024);

$obSaveFile-close();
Problem is, I have not really learnt classes as yet, I
know how to use them but I really have no idea as to
how to make them. Looking at your above code I see you
are calling open() and close() of the class but not
write() is that a mistake or just my lack of
understanding of classes? (No idea what this:
$obSaveFile
means either)
Also I have heard that outbuffering can be quite
complicated, would you mind filling in your example a
bit more and I can make add to it and work from there?
Thanks,

Oops, yeah the ob_start should have been:
ob_start(array($obSaveFile, 'write'), 1024);
The $ in $obSaveFile uses a reference instead of a copy of the
object (an old php4 trick, see more on references)
What will happen is anytime PHP's output buffer decides to write
the contents of the buffer, in this case I told it to do it when
ever 1024 bytes where collected, it will call:
$obSaveFile-write($contents_of_buffer);
Then your write() class method will write the buffer contents to
the file handle you opened in open().
the ob_end_flush() forces the rest of the buffer (1024) to get sent too to
your write() class method, ensuring everything is written.
Also I have heard that outbuffering can be quite
complicated, would you mind filling in your example a
bit more and I can make add to it and work from there?
Here is the class in full (w/o error checking):

function write($buf) {

I am using.
Here is the problem:

$numRows=mssql_num_rows($results);

}
$selectedCol=$row[selectedCol];

For some reason, on the last row, I am not unable to reference a particular
index in the array using a php variable. This has been working for almost 12
months and now the coding is breaking all over the place. I don't have an
answer. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Thx.

Please give me the output, what do you get from echo $selectedCol;? If I
had to guess, it looks like you're confusing key and value of an
associatative array.
if
$row[selectedCol] = 12;
$row[12] does NOT equal SelectedCol.
In fact, even if you used mysql_fetch_array, you will not be able to do a
reverse lookup like that.
Suppose you have the following :
$row['a'] = 1;
$row['b'] = 2;
$row['c'] = 1;
You can see that your approach is incorrect because what would $row[1]
return?
If this is NOT your question, please post your output(errors and all).

$row=mssql_fetch_array($results);
}
$selectedCol=$row[selectedCol];
echo $selectedCol;
$selectedColName=$row[$selectCol]; //--- PLEASE NOTE THIS SPECIFIC
ROW
For some reason, on the last row, I am not unable to reference a
particular
index in the array using a php variable. This has been working for almost
12
months and now the coding is breaking all over the place. I don't have an
answer. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Thx.

[PHP] throw me a bone for a regexp please.
need a regexp to get the contents of this marker or one very simular:
{!STATISTICS:starbucks!}
what I am looking for is to get the STATISTICS and starbucks into
an array() if possible. I believe with the correct regexp this can be
accomplished using preg_split() or by getting the contents of the
marker and explode()'ing them. also i am looking to grab several
strings for a marker like this, for instance.
{!STASTISTICS:starbucks:blended:chocolate!}
Also if someone could direct me to a site that explains how to use and
create regexp in a small minded manor since I have been unable to
grasp the concepts.
Thanks in advanced,
Robert

[PHP] PHP 5.0.2 LDAP SASL Binds (GSSAPI specifically)
I see that php 5.0.2 has added the ldap_sasl_bind function. I compiled
php-5.0.2 against our OpenLDAP w/ SASL support libraries, and went ahead to
give it a whirl:
#!/usr/local/bin/php
?php
$ds = ldap_connect(ldap-test3.stanford.edu);
if($ds) {
$r = ldap_sasl_bind($ds);
} else {
echo Unable to connect!;
}
?
However, what I get back is:
bWarning/b: ldap_sasl_bind() [a
href='function.ldap-sasl-bind'function.ldap-sasl-bind/a]: Unable to bind
to server: Not Supported in
b/afs/ir.stanford.edu/users/q/u/quanah/cgi-bin/test.cgi/b on line
b5/bbr /
In looking at the php 5.0.2 code I see:
if ((rc = ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s(ld-link, NULL, NULL, NULL,
NULL, LDAP_SASL_QUIET, _php_sasl_interact, NULL)) != LDAP_SUCCESS) {
This line seems a bit bogus to me -- All those nulls mean that a valid SASL
Mechanism is never specified to bind as.
For example, in perl, I've used:
ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s($self-{ld}, $dn, $pass,
$self-{saslmech}, $self-{saslrealm},
$self-{saslauthzid}, $self-{saslsecprops},
$self-{saslflags});
(Note that for SASL/GSSAPI, the $dn $pass can safely be ignored, as it is
my K5 credentials that determine my DN anyhow).
Is this feature expected to work yet?

A few tips for starting out with regex:
1) use PCRE, they are faster and ultimately more useful than the POSIX variety
2) Build up your regex step-by-step and test it at each step to see what is
being matched and what isn't (and why it isn't)
3) Use parentheses () to enclose the bits you want to 'capture' (extract).
4) Practice
5) More practice
So for your first example, as a first draft you can just capture everything
between the begin marker and the end marker:
$doo = '{!STATISTICS:starbucks!}';
preg_match('/\{!(.*)!\}/', $doo, $match)
$match[1] now contains: STATISTICS:starbucks
You can explode() it to get the constituent parts.
Or you can refine your regex:
preg_match('/\{!(.*):(.*)!\}/', $doo, $match)
So basically your first draft would match a large chunk of stuff, your
successive drafts would fine-tune it until eventually you're matching exactly
what you need.

Re: [PHP] dbm choices - advice?

I know if probably depends on what I want to do, so in short, I am looking to create a temporary table that will be a composite of a ton of MySQL queries (hence the reason I am not just querying). I have thought about just creating a new database table to push my query results into, but I would love to make it faster if possible. Am I hopelessly misguided? I would love any feedback! I've never done it, but I think serializing the result and inserting into a three column table with the query and a expiry date is pretty common. If you were to write your own DB adapters and wrappers (rather than using mysql_* directly), you probably wouldn't even notice the extra code or whatever needed. I don't think MySQL has anything built in. Justin French -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Problem with MSSQL
Hi, I'm a new member in this mailing list. I have a problem with large data in mssql (more than 100.000 record in one table). If I want to browse it from record 10 until 19 (like when I press next button), php have to read all data (select * from table). Is it posible to read only the record that I need (from record x1 untuk x2), without stored procedure? Thanks before.

[PHP] How to optimize select of random record in DB ?
I made this code to pick a random record from a changeable number of
records in a given table.
I'm just curious if any of the more awake coders out there can see a way to
optimize this for better performance, since there's several other DB
queries on the same page.
$records = mysql_query(SELECT COUNT(*) AS count FROM persons) or
die('Unable to get record countbr'.mysql_error());
$totalcount = mysql_result($records,0) - 1;
$rndrecord = rand(0,$totalcount);
$personquery = mysql_query(SELECT personID FROM persons LIMIT
$rndrecord,1) or die('Unable to get random recordbr'.mysql_error());
$personID = mysql_result($personquery,0);
