It still needs some tuning, but eventually it will also catch problems like:
function foo(&$arg) {
$arg = "foo";
}
function bar() {
return "abc";
}
foo(bar());
PHP4.4 will still happily let you run this code. PHP-5.1 throws a fatal
error now.
It is obviously incorrect code and needs to be fixed.
In the case of returning a reference to something bogus, it's not quite
obvious that it is incorrect, hence the notice, but it is still
something that needs to be looked at. For legacy code, ignore notices
for now and poke the authors to fix their code.

[PHP] Re: still some problems with contact form
thanks, makes some sense.
so now where I have echo, I should have print? or just leave as echo
and add the else and ||?
Could you provide some sample code based on the code I posted
previously by chance??
being new to PHP I am sure I will run into errors for a few days, as is...
that would help me out greatly.
thx,

This isn't related to allow_call_time_pass_reference. It's a new notice
that came with PHP 4.4.0 to inform developers of possible incorrect
code. For instance the following will generate it:
function &$foo()
{
return null;
}
According to internals before 4.4.0 such methods caused the occasional
(almost impossible to track down) memory corruption bugs. You're only
relief is to tone down the error reporting level (Which will knock out
other notices during development but will be great for a production
server), or do as I did and install a custom error handler that filters
this notice specifically (I have to work with some ezproject code for a
client which is disgusting and is filled with all kinds of notices not
to mention on one page almost a thousand of this particular breed).

Rob.

Re: [PHP] still some problems with contact form
This is what you have done
if(something happens) {
print error;
}
print thanks for sending the form!
So basically you are printing the error and then thanking them. You need to
include an ELSE bracket. Like so..
if(this error || that error || some other error) {
print error;
} else {
//no errors, thank them!
print THANKS!

Subject: [PHP] still some problems with contact form
Hello,
on my web site contact form:
http://www.inspired-evolution.com/Contact.php
I am still having a few problems with the return results after filling
out the form. Basically I am wanted to return an error msg. when all
of the required fields are not filled out (those with a red *), and an
invalid email address will also return an error.
filling out all of the information correctly will result in a
thank-you paragraph, we have received your submission etc.
Right now even if you don't fill out the required fields, you still
get my thank-you message for filling out the form correctly (as well
as getting the error msg.). If someone has a chance try out the form
yourself and you will see what I mean.
What I would really like to have is a thank-you page when the form is
completed sucussfully and an oops! page when there is an error. SO we
are talking two different pages, based upon the results of the form
information...
The PHP code I have for the return info. currenty is:
Error! Fields marked
* are required to continue.';
echo'Please go back to the Contact Me page and try it again!';
}
if
(!eregi("^[a-z0-9]+([_\\.-][a-z0-9]+)*"."@"."([a-z0-9]+([\.-][a-z0-9]+)*)+"."\\.[a-z]{2,}"."$",$email))
{
echo 'Invalid email address entered.';
echo 'Please go back to the Contact Me page and try it again!';
}
if (($email) != ($email2)) {
echo 'Error! e-mail addresses dont match.';
}
$email_address = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]";
$subject = "There has been a disturbance in the force";

[PHP] Mail Function
Hi, I have a web site that is going to have around total of 10-20 thousand unique users, about 1000 unique hits per day on shared hosting. I have been using PHP's internal mail mechanism with the local smtp server on my hosting company, but it is more like a hit-and-miss kind of thing. And, there are users complaining that they are not getting any e-mail. Can you guys please provide advise as to what the problem might be? I don't think it is the local SMTP, because the way SMTP is configured is pretty solid, and once you submit internally (not via port 25), it should retry till it delivers it. So, I am thinking it might be because of headers or something else. So, should I use a more sophisticated mail library? Can you recommend any?

It will work 1 time or sometimes 2 but then subsequent calls produce errors (in the browser) and the apache log gets this: [Tue Jul 19 16:01:10 2005] [notice] child pid 7105 exit signal Segmentation fault (11) [Tue Jul 19 16:02:18 2005] [notice] child pid 7107 exit signal Segmentation fault (11) [Tue Jul 19 16:02:19 2005] [notice] child pid 7110 exit signal Segmentation fault (11) Anyone have any ideas?

[PHP] problems with self referential sticky forms
Hi, I'm trying to code a form that will call itself. The first time it is called (by a link), it should display the empty form. If it was called by a submit to itself, it will validate and then process or re-display the form if it didn't pass validation. In Programing PHP I found a technique (example 7-4.): The text says "we copy the form parameter value into $fahr. If we aren't given that parameter, $fahr contains NULL. I thought this could be used to create a value that would then be displayed in the form field. If the parameter wasn't passed, the form field would be empty. If the paramenter was passed, the value would be displayed. Like so: But when execute the code above I get an error: Notice: Undefined index: fahrenheit in C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\. Yet, the line 'fahr is null does print', so $fahr was successfully created. Because I'm in debug mode, my error reporting is set to E_ALL. Are these sorts of errors ones that will disappear when the error reporting threshold is set lower. Should they be accepted in a development environment. Or is there a better way of accomplishing what I want to do. Thanks, Linda -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] still some problems with contact form
Hello,
on my web site contact form:
http://www.inspired-evolution.com/Contact.php
I am still having a few problems with the return results after filling
out the form. Basically I am wanted to return an error msg. when all
of the required fields are not filled out (those with a red *), and an
invalid email address will also return an error.
filling out all of the information correctly will result in a
thank-you paragraph, we have received your submission etc.
Right now even if you don't fill out the required fields, you still
get my thank-you message for filling out the form correctly (as well
as getting the error msg.). If someone has a chance try out the form
yourself and you will see what I mean.
What I would really like to have is a thank-you page when the form is
completed sucussfully and an oops! page when there is an error. SO we
are talking two different pages, based upon the results of the form
information...
The PHP code I have for the return info. currenty is:
Error! Fields marked
* are required to continue.';
echo'Please go back to the Contact Me page and try it again!';
}
if
(!eregi("^[a-z0-9]+([_\\.-][a-z0-9]+)*"."@"."([a-z0-9]+([\.-][a-z0-9]+)*)+"."\\.[a-z]{2,}"."$",$email))
{
echo 'Invalid email address entered.';
echo 'Please go back to the Contact Me page and try it again!';
}
if (($email) != ($email2)) {
echo 'Error! e-mail addresses dont match.';
}
$email_address = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]";
$subject = "There has been a disturbance in the force";
$message = "Request from: $firstname $lastname\n\n
Company name: $company\n
Phone Number: $phone\n
Email Address: $email\n
URL: $URL\n
Please Contact me via: $Contact_Preference\n
The best time to reach me is: $Contact_Time\n
I wish to request the following additional information: $Textarea";
mail($email_address, $subject, $message, "From: $email \nX-Mailer:

echo "Hello, $firstname.
We have received your request for additional information, and will
respond shortly.
Thanks for visiting inspired-evolution.com and have a wonderful day!

any assistance/guidance is greatly appreciated. Thanks list!

If by "foreign host" you mean a remote (ie over the network) host then
there is nothing for you to worry about (if your webserver is configured
correctly -- see below). When using include() on a remote file you are
only including the output of that file AFTER it has been processed by
php. Thus in the case of the example below where you're only defining a
bunch of constants there is no output and thus nothing to "include".
> define ('DB_USER', 'username');
> define ('DB_PASSWORD', 'password');
> define ('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
> define ('DB_NAME', 'dbname');
**Beware** if you're using a non-standard filename extension for your
include files, eg .inc, and have not configured your webserver to process
these using php then then it *is* possible to include and use these
remotely. You can easily check this by entering the URL of the include
file into a browser and then "view source", what you see is what will be
included by a "foreign host".
What you should be more concerned about if you're on a shared host is that
there is a good possibility that your co-hosts are able to access your
files anyway.

[PHP] submission PHP code : MYSQL command lines translation
Dear All subscribers, my intention, through this e-mail, is to submit to your attentions one PHP class devoted to translate input native language commands for database into MYSQL commands lines. The goal of this class is to provide a comfortable code interface to let programmers implement forms within their programs so that customers/users can input self-defined command lines and reach their own queries. Programmers can freely implement as they want. For example, one suggested way is evidently prompt-like, so that customers can use the program to get their queries. Purposes of this class and everything related is contained in the file readme.html I do not know lots of forums, but if you like this code you might also post it to other national PHP forums. I hope the forums I sent provide attachments sending too, otherwise feel free to ask me to send you the related PHP code. I look forward to your feedbacks. Alessandro Rosa
[PHP] Translating english into amglish
Hi All, I'm based in Australia but my blog is predominantly read by Americans. I'm wondering if anyone knows of a class that will translate Australian / UK / Canadian / Whathaveyou English spellings into their American English equivalents? In other words, a class that will take a string with spellings such as "The colour of my neighbour's car, I recently realised, isn't grey after all" and will return "The color of my neighbor's car, I recently realized, isn't gray after all", and so on. Given time I'm sure I could work out many of the transformation rules myself, and implement them via regular expressions, but why reinvent the wheel if someone has already done so?

And, to answer the OP's question, no, there is not a reliable way to do this. You can provide some hints via the HTML form -- set hidden keys for MAX_UPLOAD_SIZE, for instance -- but many browsers ignore these. My understanding is that it's possible to use javascript in some cases to determine the file size on the upload element's population, but that is going to be unreliable as well, due to differences in client OS and browser javascript implementations. The easiest "solution" is to simply provide some warning text indicating that the file size should not exceed a certain threshold -- and give back a nice, big error message when it does so they know why the upload failed. -- Matthew Weier O'Phinney Zend Certified Engineer http://weierophinney.net/matthew/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

what is it wrong to ask questions on a php general mailing list where I
know there are a bunch of people that can help? I do have a php book But
it's just that what you ask and how (coupled with the frequency)
determines the response you get, if any.
your general attitude, the number of posts you answer, etc, etc all
play a part. e.g. as is regularly mentioned you don't argue with Rasmus,
why? because he wrote the original php, still actively develops it, runs
yahoo, and _still_ has time answer posts on this list... basically
he know more than you and has enough 'credits' in phpland to buy the
bank (so to speak) -
...you blew most of your startup 'credits' already, so now you are 'forced'
do a lot of increaseKnowledge() where:
function increaseKnowledge()
{
while (kowledgeSucks()) {
readTheManual();
SearchTheWeb();
writeSomeCode();
}
}
then come back to the list when you are _really_ stuck and you can
explain the problem and what you have tried so far in _detail_...
if you do that then you'll almost garantee yourself and answer
there are no hard and fast rules regarding this but the consensus
is 'try harder please George' ... basically NRBS** doesn't entice people
to spend time working on _your_ problem.
it dosent show. Why can other people ask questions but I cant?
which book? show what? be specific, do research - google is your friend
(that's beginning to sound like something bigbrother would say).
regarding "Why can other people ask questions but I cant?" ... er?
that is a question, you asked it, ergo the question moot is moot...
what you should be asking is why other people get better answers ...
hopefully you get that now, anyway good to see you reading other people
threads.

Re: [PHP] Question about apache-php concurrent process control
Hi André, It sounds interesting. But since I am pretty new to PHP, I have some questions, naive maybe, about what you wrote. "#!/bin/sh\n/path/to/script/Send.php 12 &\n" What does the Send.php look like? I do not have idea how a shell interprets an php script and what the parameter 12 means here. If you do not mind, could you please also let me look at your Send.php? Thank you very much. I did something like that for a newsletter sending script. Basiclly, I had two scripts: a) AddEdit.php that would list the newsletter's items and allow it to send b) Send.php that was a script I ran on the background When pressed "Send" on AddEdit, it would do something like $tempName = tempnam( '/tmp', 'newsletter' ); $fp = fopen( $tempName, 'w+' ); fputs( $fp, "#!/bin/sh\n/path/to/script/Send.php 12 &\n" ); fclose( $fp ); chmod( $tempName, 0755 ); system( $tempName . ' &' ); That way, it would launch the second script into the background, checking if the script altered the newsletter's state for "Sent" everytime a user saw the newsletter's details.

Re: [PHP] Question about apache-php concurrent process control
Thank you Rouvas, I never used the tools you mentioned. But I will definitely give them a try. I wrote a perl script using LWP as an http user agent. and the timing function you suggested. It works well. I am new to this forum, and new to PHP. It seems Rasmus is famous, and I should have shown my respect. Thanks again all of you for your kindly help. Hi Liang, trying to get conclusive results with browsers is futile. Use a command-line tool (like curl) to invoke the web pages and get the results. Or you can use PHP's own function to query the web server and do your own timing with microtime() function or another suitable for your purposes. In order for flush() results to reach you (in a browser) they have to pass from multiple caches like PHP's, Apache's, the occasional proxies and finally the browser's own cache. So you cannot get dependaple results measuring times or responses from your browser. Try the methods above. And a final tip... When Rasmus speaks, you don't question him:-) Period.

Re: [PHP] Date function and MySQL
Philip Thompson wrote: Hi all. I have the week number (for example, this is the 29th week of the year and it begins on 7/17/05). Does anyone know how to obtain the first (and maybe the last) date of the week if you only know the week number of the year? Would it be better for me to obtain this in PHP or MySQL? or both? I have researched the archives on a few lists and I know that others have asked this same questions, but I have not found a good solution. I have also looked on MySQL's "date and time functions" page, but had little luck. Any thoughts would be appreciated. ~Philip Hi Philip give this a go... i played around with the date functions of mysql select date_sub(curdate() , interval (date_format(curdate() , '%w')-1) day) as firstday , date_add(curdate() , interval (7 - date_format(curdate() , '%w')) day) as lastday it will give you the date of the monday and the sunday of the current week hope this solves your problem.

Re: [PHP] PHP from CLI with SAPI
Fredrik Tolf wrote: Hi! I've begun to be more and more displeased with Apache lately, so I've been thinking of writing my own HTTP server instead. I still want PHP support, but writing a new SAPI for PHP seems like overkill. What's so bad about Apache? Therefore, is it possible to use PHP from the command line, but still enable some HTTP-server-only stuff, like GET and POST variables, cookies, session management, file uploads, and so on? I haven't been able to find any docs on doing that, but I'm thinking that it should be possible. No, not really. $_GET and $_POST are populated by PHP from information from the HTTP request (which, obviously, isn't available in CLI mode). In CLI, there is no concept of cookies, sessions (as there are in web world), file uploads, etc. What you get is what you would recieve with any CLI app, command line parameters, and access to the system calls that you can execute using exec() and friends. I'm not really sure why you want to write your own HTTP server, as this has been done many times over the years. What exactly are your issues with Apache? So, can someone either point me to some docs in this, or, lacking such, give me a short intro to it? For a decent CLI script, you will need to access the command line arguments, for which there is a great PHP class over at PEAR. There you will also find classes for color output on the console and other classes that you will find useful.
