[PHP] PHP 5, LDAP/Active Directory
Greetings all: I've looked through php.net and scoured Google for a solution to an issue I'm having with PHP and LDAP but have so far found nothing. I'm trying to build an intranet site that uses the company LDAP (Active Directory really) service but I can't seem to get around the Operations error and other such messages when trying to bind. On my server I'm running: Fedora Core 4 Apache 2 PHP 5 compiled with OpenLDAP I must confess that I'm very new to LDAP so it is likely that my problem is inexperience, but it seems that this issue has been resolved by others so I'm trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong. To shed more light on the topic, bug #30670 [ http://bugs.php.net/ bug.php?id=30670edit=0 ] seems to fit my situation perfectly. As some of the posts on that bug suggest, I've tried using ldap_set_option($ldap, LDAP_OPT_PROTOCOL_VERSION,3); ldap_set_option($ldap, LDAP_OPT_REFERRALS,0); between ldap_connect and ldap_bind but I still get the Operations error message. Everyone seems to be able to get this to work as long as they are running PHP4, but I have yet to see (or realize I've seen) a solution from someone using PHP5. I've also found where blizzards at libero dot it has posted When querying a windows 2000/2003 AD you MUST use only SASL and not TLS (non supported). - Is this true? Another thing worth mentioning here is that the company I work for has allowed us to build our own intranet system for our Dept and offers little to no support for server specs and settings, but I will try to get any information to the list that might be helpful. Thanks in advance for any advice or direction you can provide on this topic. -Joe W

[PHP] Re: Best way to mass mail
You have to be careful, though, because I had this problem.. I had PHP running as a CGI on the host with Apache, and Apache had a nasty habit of terminating the CGI communicationg before PHP had finished mailing everyone, even if set_time_limit(0); was set (well, even if set_time_limit(arbitrarily_big_number); was used). I ended up using an exec call to a shell script, which executed the PHP CLI binary with a custom php.ini, and as a background process. The mails successfully send, now. And yes, it's a convoluted way, but as it turns out, it was the only way to properly background it and run all the way until it ends. So be careful if you decide to rely on set_time_limit().. Josh. Manuel Lemos wrote: Hello, on 09/12/2005 10:50 AM Ryan A said the following: The thing that bothers me the most is if the program times out..., how do I start again from the ones that have not been sent?

Re: [PHP] can't connect to mysql
if i'm not mistaken, there is nothing to do with the php coding. this is totally because of your mysql server, simply your mysql server is not started yet. sometimes this may be a bug. http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=11380 or try this http://www.faqts.com/knowledge_base/view.phtml/aid/3948 ~viraj.

From the docs on file: ...file() returns the file in an array. Each element
of the array corresponds to a line in the file, with the newline still
attached.
So you actually get the text plus a newline character which can be removed
with trim. Simply replace
if ($handle = opendir($main[$i]))
with
if ($handle = opendir( trim($main[$i]) ))
You don't need the quotes in opendir in this case.

Here array_shift() does of course change the arg, so that is a potential
problem. And yes, that's a dumb way to do this, but people write code
like this. In some of these array manipulation calls, which seems to
account for a number of the BC problems we are having, we could check
for a non-ref and behave slightly differently. In the case of
array_shift() we could return the first arg and throw a notice. Same
would go for reset(), end(), next(), prev() and probably a few others.

array_shift [1] receives its first argument as a reference (and modifies

actually the result of split(), what exactly is array_shift meant to modify?
A better way to write that would be:

$value = strtolower($value_parts[0]);

Yeah, but not as readable. $value is first a string, then an array, then
a string again. At one point it contains the whole value, then the
string split into words, then the first word in lowercase. The simple
name 'value' doesn't really explain what it's standing for in all those
situations.
But yeah, no big deal either way.

Hi there!
This setting...
session.gc_maxlifetime can only be set in php.ini
Default = 1440 = 24 minutes
is the time before a cookie expires? Is this right?
I don't have access to php.ini because it's not my server
(it's my webhost)
What's the solution to that? I want the cookie to last as
long as set inte
setcookie...
Please help... I'm a little confused here...
Surely it is:
session.cookie_lifetime: specifies the lifetime of the cookie in seconds
which is sent to the browser. The value 0 means until the browser is
closed. Defaults to 0.
Also, I thought you could use ini_set to change your php.ini configuration
for your current script.
But I could be wrong... Did I miss read the manual?

anonymous bind or if my credentials are being passed correctly. I've
been trying anonymous right now as I'm only testing at this point and
wanted read only access. But, I have tried passing credentials as
well to see if our admin just doesn't allow anonymous binds. Of
course I could be doing this wrong, but I couldn't be sure. What did
you mean by 'be sure you are supplying them correctly'? I assumed
that the following would be fine:
?php
$ds = ldap_connect('ad.server.com');
$lb = ldap_bind($ds, 'username', 'password');
// At this point the bind looks successful
// so we'll try a query
$res = ldap_search($ds, 'o=My Company,c=US','sn=S*');
// Now it will output the 'Operations error' message
// Could this happen if I specify directory entries that don't exists?
...
?
As far as code examples go, I'm simply copying and pasting multiple
examples from multiple message threads that say something like
Fixed or Got it - as well as the examples from php.net.
So since you've got it working with PHP5 can you verify that SASL is/
is not needed to communicate to an AD 2003 server from linux? I keep
leaning towards the possibility that I need that, but can't seem to
find any way to tell for sure since the ldap_sasl_bind() function
isn't documented yet.
Thanks again!

[PHP] Modifying data in forms with values

[PHP] Accessing images in a protected directory
I haven't used .htaccess before and am currently having an issue with it. I have a site that has photos from various events on it. Some of the events need to be password protected to view the photos. They enter a password, it gets checked in the MYSQL database and then the php page tries to pull the protected photos from the directory that has .htaccess on it. Yet, everytime it tries to pull an image a username and password dialog comes up. How do I pass this information automatically when I try to get the images so the dialog doesn't come up?

However, a different approach would be to create a script in the same directory as your main script is in. And then call all images via that script (eg. image.php?img=abc123.png). Then in that script that recieves all requests for the images, basically file_get_contents() (or whatever) the actual image file from the protected directory, set the right headers (content-type mainly), and echo/print out the image. Another way would be to limit the .htaccess allow to allow only images without getting the user/pass dialog. I'm sure it's possible, but I can't really recall how that is done. It will probably be explained in the Apache Documentation :) - tul -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] Re: Modifying data in forms with values
Robert,
The Lampshade framework (and I'm sure others, too) handles pretty much
all of the form controls for you. There' also a specific country()
function used to make a drop-down of countries. Using Lampshade, you
would only need one line of code in your form:
dropdownBox('country', country(), $myrow['country'], 'Country');
The first parameter is the name of the field in the form. The second
provides the list of items to display in the drop-down box. The third is
the present value of the box (so it handles the if statements you were
talking about), and the fourth is the label that shows up on the form on
the user's screen.
You should try it out, and I'd be happy to help you get set up.

Well, the truth is, computers are stupid, and you need to explain this kind of date format to him by rewriting such date in a way that a computer can understand... From where do you get such string? Can you ask the sender to send more uniform/standard date? I tried strtotime(%Y/%m/%d, 2005124) and this is the result: 1970/01/23. Look again at the function definition http://www.php.net/strtotime The second argument is timestamp (number of seconds since the unix epoch). So if you count 2005124 seconds from January 1 1970 00:00:00 GMT you would get to January 23 1970. hope this will help you a little, N:: smime.p7s Description: S/MIME Cryptographic Signature

Hi there!

From the manual...
string ini_set ( string varname, string newvalue )
Sets the value of the given configuration option. Returns the old value on
success, FALSE on failure. The configuration option will keep this new value
during the script's execution, and will be restored at the script's ending.
Does this mean that:
File phpcode1.php handles cookies and has the code
ini_set('session.cookie_lifetime',2147483647); ini it.
File phpcode2.php has nothing to do with cookies
When user goes TO phpcode2.php FROM phpcode1.php, session.cookie_lifetime

[PHP] glob behavior on OSX
Hi, am using glob in linux to match files like this with no problems:
glob(../dbimages/banners/{*.[jJ][pP][gG],*.[gG][iI][fF]},GLOB_BRACE);
that matches gif o jpg case insensitive, now this works on linux with no
problems, but it does not in OSX.
//This works nice in OSX
glob(../dbimages/banners/*.[jJ][pP][gG]);
//This also works but not case insensistive
glob(../dbimages/banners/{*.jpg,*.gif},GLOB_BRACE);
//This does not work at all
glob(../dbimages/banners/{*.[jJ][pP][gG],*.[gG][iI][fF]},GLOB_BRACE);
It seem that GLOB_BRACE + the complex regexp does not work in OSX.

RE: [PHP] error message while mysqling on php
I see two things that could be it. #1 your $result is not $result = mysql_query(queryline); Or #2 your syntax on your query line is bad. You can try doing something like this: $query = SELECT * FROM table etc blah; $result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error()); $num = mysql_num_rows($result); Sometimes the error message can be more explicit if you tell it to print it. If you get no error on that query statement, then your query is fine. -Original Message- From: Murray @ PlanetThoughtful [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, September 13, 2005 3:05 PM To: 'Michal Krezolek'; php-general@lists.php.net Subject: RE: [PHP] error message while mysqling on php I have received an error: Warning: mysql_num_rows(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/www/mksystem.net when trying to execute $num = mysql_num_rows($result); Please go to http://mksystem.net/phpinfo.php and tell me whether it is due to the version of php I have on server and an easy workaround would be appreciated.

It's reasonably simple to change it to not preserve keys.

$newArray = array();
foreach( $array as $key=$value ) {

Personally I keep using PHP 4 and do not see the motivation to upgrade. First because, for me, PHP 4 is already a feature complete language for Web development. Second, because I do not have the time nor the patience to chase all the backward incompatibilities of PHP 5 that will break the code of my sites. Actually I am even scared to try PHP 5 in sites that I have with large code bases because it is very hard to fully test them in development environment. It is not impossible to test a large site in development environment to find the possible problems, but it would take a lot of time and still many details could escape, so I am not interested to risk and put a site up malfunctioning due to PHP 5 incompatibilities, especially when PHP 4 worked so well for all these years. -- 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

It's not that they don't have more then enough features in StarOffice to do their daily job successfully... Any PHP developer has to choose for herself will she use PHP 4 or 5... This has been throughly debated on this list. PHP4 has it's purposes, and any PHP developer would be nuts to abandon it completely. The support for PHP4 related problems will diminish eventually... PHP 5 is new and better, but it doesn't force you to write better code or OO code. That decision is yours, but there is no point not to switch to PHP5 for new projects. Rewriting small parts of PHP4 to make it PHP5 compatible (if they're not already) can be a great practice to learn PHP5 quirks and get up to speed with it. If you can't find a PHP5 hosting service, you obviously haven't even looked. Pick any PHP magazine, and you'll see at least 5 of them. Google a bit, you can't miss them.

[PHP] Problems with strings being handled like numbers
I suspect I'm far from the first person to have this problem, but I can't
seem to find the right search terms to locate the solution. Basically, I'm
doing a database query and dumping the results into an array. Then, later,
when I try to display the contents of the array, I run into problems. One of
the database fields is a very long number, basically an 18-or-so-digit
serial number. When I tell PHP to print the array variable that corresponds
to that field, I get what looks like a floating point number in exponent
notation. I need to display the entire number as it appears in the database.
Here's the code that does the db lookup and putting the info into the array:
- cut here
$con = mssql_connect($hostname, $username, $password) or die(Database
failed to respond.);
mssql_select_db($dbName, $con) or die(Table unavailable.);
$query = SELECT * FROM Voucher WHERE (Number LIKE '% .
$_POST['vouchernum'] . ');;
$result = mssql_query($query, $con);
$result_numrows = mssql_num_rows($result);
$tmpvar = 0;
$vouchers[] = '';
for ($i = 0; $i $result_numrows; ++$i) {
$line = mssql_fetch_row($result);
$vouchers[$tmpvar][0] = $line[0];
$vouchers[$tmpvar][1] = $line[4];
$vouchers[$tmpvar][2] = $line[5];
$vouchers[$tmpvar][3] = $line[6];
$vouchers[$tmpvar][4] = $line[13];
$vouchers[$tmpvar][5] = $line[14];
$vouchers[$tmpvar][6] = $line[15];
$vouchers[$tmpvar][7] = $line[16];
$tmpvar++;
}
mssql_close($con);
echo(pre);
print_r($vouchers);
echo(/pre);
- cut here
Basically, $line[0] aka $vouchers[$tmpvar][0] is a really big number and
it's being treated like a number when I need it to be treated like a string
and just printed. I tried playing around with typecasting, but I couldn't
get it to do anything different.
Thanks in advance for any help, and if I need to provide more info feel free
to let me know.

Re: [PHP] Problems with strings being handled like numbers
Are you sure you're getting the number as you need it from the query?
PHP won't (though I guess there could be a bug) automatically convert a
numerical string into it's numerical equivalent.
If the code you posted produces this problem, then the only possiblities
I see are that the mssql module is returning a number, or the database
query is returning that particular string.

I suspect I'm far from the first person to have this problem, but I can't
seem to find the right search terms to locate the solution. Basically, I'm
doing a database query and dumping the results into an array. Then, later,
when I try to display the contents of the array, I run into problems. One of
the database fields is a very long number, basically an 18-or-so-digit
serial number. When I tell PHP to print the array variable that corresponds
to that field, I get what looks like a floating point number in exponent
notation. I need to display the entire number as it appears in the database.
Here's the code that does the db lookup and putting the info into the array:
- cut here
$con = mssql_connect($hostname, $username, $password) or die(Database
failed to respond.);
mssql_select_db($dbName, $con) or die(Table unavailable.);
$query = SELECT * FROM Voucher WHERE (Number LIKE '% .
$_POST['vouchernum'] . ');;
$result = mssql_query($query, $con);
$result_numrows = mssql_num_rows($result);
$tmpvar = 0;
$vouchers[] = '';
for ($i = 0; $i $result_numrows; ++$i) {
$line = mssql_fetch_row($result);
$vouchers[$tmpvar][0] = $line[0];
$vouchers[$tmpvar][1] = $line[4];
$vouchers[$tmpvar][2] = $line[5];
$vouchers[$tmpvar][3] = $line[6];
$vouchers[$tmpvar][4] = $line[13];
$vouchers[$tmpvar][5] = $line[14];
$vouchers[$tmpvar][6] = $line[15];
$vouchers[$tmpvar][7] = $line[16];
$tmpvar++;
}
mssql_close($con);
echo(pre);
print_r($vouchers);
echo(/pre);
- cut here
Basically, $line[0] aka $vouchers[$tmpvar][0] is a really big number and
it's being treated like a number when I need it to be treated like a string
and just printed. I tried playing around with typecasting, but I couldn't
get it to do anything different.
Thanks in advance for any help, and if I need to provide more info feel free

[PHP] Re: Quick Poll: PHP 4 / 5
I've changed to PHP5 and not experienced any problems with old code. In
fact, the differences and incompatibilities are very minor and most
projects should work without any changes.
PHP5 features the new Zend Engine 2. It's not yet really faster than the
one in PHP4 but has large potential. Without going into further details:
It's better, especially if one wants to go with objects and classes.
PHP5 features SQLite. Of course you can install the PECL module and use
SQLite with PHP4 but some features like the iterators aren't available
in PHP4. As an example:
$db=new SQLiteDatabase('mydb.db');
foreach (
$db-query('SELECT * FROM adresses WHERE city=Sin City')
as $adress)
{
echo $adress['name'];
}
That's simpler than in any PHP4/MySQL implementation. SQLite stores the
database in a single file, there's no need for a server (like with
MySQL). This makes it ideal for small quick and dirty projects or
machines with old CPU and s small amount of RAM.
Furthermore, PHP5.1 will introduce PDO which unifies this database
interface for all db systems. It's a native database abstraction layer.
You see, even if you don't want to use the OOP features like classes,
interfaces and iterators you can still benefit from them in the standard
modules.

Re: [PHP] Quick Poll: PHP 4 / 5
Always this stuff about breaking backward compatibility. People seem to think that the change from 4 to 5 means such a lot. In fact the changes from PHP4.0 to PHP4.4 are much more numerous. The backwarr incompatible changes between 4 and 5 fit on asingle page of screen: http://de.php.net/manual/en/migration5.incompatible.php And most of these changes don't affect the normal programmer. I think the change from 4 to 5 ist that slow because there are so many programmers with VisualBasic (or worse) background that don't see the benefits of OOP. Iterators and delegation via interceptors are cool concepts but to use them you have to learn how to use them. And before you learn how to use them you have to understand what they're for and why they're cool. And before that you have to know that such things even exist. And with questions like How do I increment by more than one in a for loop on the forum this isn't very likely to be the case for a majority of the PHP community. It's a very big community with some experts and a lot of total beginners. And a beginner likes to stick with what works for him. I guess we'll have to wait for the hosters to adopt PHP5 and then for the next generation of PHP beginners. They will not know that there was PHP4 when they begin to learn. For example, they will use PDO for database access right from the start and intuitively use the iterator of PDOStatement.

Re: [PHP] whats wrong in this program.
I think I finally understand what you are trying to do. I don't see
any reason why you need to use the token functions, and I would
recommend using array functions instead (also, it is exceedingly easy
to sort the elements of an array... see the end).
I believe this will do what you are trying to do:
//Tokenizer for Babu
$str = '10,12,14-18';
$commas = explode(',', $str); // $commas will be an array of three
items in this case
// Final Values will go into the $final array
$final = array();
foreach ($commas as $value) {
// If one of the $commas elements contains a dash, we need to
get the range between them!
if (strstr($value, '-')) {
// Explode based on the dash. This code assumes there will
only be a single dash
$rangeValues = explode('-', $value);
foreach (range($rangeValues[0], $rangeValues[1]) as $number) {
$final[] = $number;
}
} else {
// If $value does not contain a dash, add it directly to the
$final array
$final[] = $value;
}
}
echo All your values in the range $str are .implode(' ', $final);
// Prints All your values in the range 10,12,14-18 are 10 12 14 15
16 17 18
In your last email, you had some of the values given out of order:
1. 20,21-24
2. 21-24,20
3. 10,20,21-24,25,26,30
To make sure the $final values are always ascending, just do this at
the end:
sort($final);
Done!!

[PHP] launch app
What's the best way to send an executable to a client desktop in PHP? I'm doing a project where we need to check and see which files need to be updated on a client-desktop. The idea is for a user to visit the website, an executable launches, checks the files on the drive, and then sends the data back to the website. It's all on the up and up - I'm not trying to do anything bad to the user. The site is designed to maintain a product that they're purchasing from us. Screens will explain what's going on. I also believe the browser will display something - not completely sure how to trigger this, but I think it's something to do with having executables signed - I'd appreciate if you have any advice on how to do this also.

By not working, I assume you mean the file is not being included, but you get no error. First, check that apache is truly reading the .htaccess file by putting a syntax error in it - if it is being read you should get a 500 Server error when you try to hit a page in the directory where the .htaccess file is.

Sorry had to eat too. Ok here is the source that is giving me problems. I'd
dropped a few things from it cause they weren't working either but this
gives the just of what I'm trying to do. I'm renaming the poster.php files
to more appropriate names but you get the idea of what I'm trying but not
getting to work.
?php include 'pselector.php'; ?
?php
// Poster (poster.php)
switch($id)
{
case 'npos':
include 'news_poster.php';
break;
case 'wnpos':
include 'wt_new_poster.php';
break;
default:
require 'greetsel.php';
}
?
pselector.php is :
?php
echo form method='post';
echo select name='id' onChange='submit(); return true';
echo option value='';
echo option value='npos'News Poster;
echo option value='wnpos'What's New Poster;
echo /select;
echo /form;
?

Thanks You can use the PHP_VERSION predefined constant or the function_exists(string) http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.function-exists.php What I did was created a Document Object. right now it only works with PHP5 I might add PHP4 support to it later tho when I have more time using this approach unless anyone can think of a better idea. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Quick Poll: PHP 4 / 5
Hello, on 09/13/2005 10:39 PM Ben said the following: I guess this should ring a lot of bells for those that expect to develop products targetted to PHP 5, because the numbers seem to show that PHP 5 is a flop, despite PHP 5.0.0 was released more than 1 year ago. I think it points more to hosting providers who don't want to force their clients to ensure their sites are php5 compatible. I'm sure if a client were to ask they would host them on a machine with php5, but if they are already on one with php4 they won't rock your boat. Hosting providers, which account for the vast majority of hosted domains, are pretty conservative. Right, but the problem all boils down to one matter: money! What happens is that many hosts have hundreds (to not say thousands) of clients hosted per server. If they upgrade the PHP version, chances are that they may break the applications of many clients. Displeased clients leave and they loose business. Therefore hosts are absolutely right in not messing with the servers of the customers that are pleased with their current setup, or else it will hurt their pockets big time! OTOH clients that have their sites working fine and dandy with current PHP version have no reason to change, unless what they may gain can justify the headache of asking to switch to a server with the PHP version of their choice or switch to another host that provides it. It seems that PHP 5 is not that much compelling to most people to justify the change. -- 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
Re: [PHP] Quick Poll: PHP 4 / 5
Hello, on 09/13/2005 10:46 PM Oliver Grätz said the following: Always this stuff about breaking backward compatibility. People seem to think that the change from 4 to 5 means such a lot. In fact the changes from PHP4.0 to PHP4.4 are much more numerous. The backwarr incompatible changes between 4 and 5 fit on asingle page of screen: http://de.php.net/manual/en/migration5.incompatible.php And most of these changes don't affect the normal programmer. In theory those are the only changes. In practice, besides the officially admitted changes, there are also the bugs that were not yet discovered or fixed. I think the change from 4 to 5 ist that slow because there are so many programmers with VisualBasic (or worse) background that don't see the benefits of OOP. Iterators and delegation via interceptors are cool !?!? You can do OOP since PHP 3. PHP 5 OOP improvements are nice but they will not make anybody richer . I do not think the problem is PHP 4 vs. 5, but rather upgrading to a new version a deal with known and unknown changes vs. not upgrading and keep sites working as before. It's a very big community with some experts and a lot of total beginners. And a beginner likes to stick with what works for him. I do not think this is a beginners problem. As a matter of fact begginners are more likely to naively jump to newer versions just to ride on the top of the latest wave. More experience developers are the ones that tend to be wiser not delay upgrades because they know that new versions have new bugs. As a matter of fact I just read this interesting article named The Six Dumbest Ideas in Computer Security that demonstrates what I always knew that upgrading to the latest versions is often a bad idea.

Re: [PHP] Quick Poll: PHP 4 / 5
It seems that PHP 5 is not that much compelling to most people to justify the change. I'm sure you're right, but I also think it's a question of work load for the ISP. Many server upgrades don't occur unless it's urgent and even then they sometimes get missed. Plus... the last time I went to lease a server, the ISP told me that RedHat didn't come with PHP 5. Installing PHP 5 was at my own risk. Maybe PHP 5 is now bundled with the latest version of PHP, but I know it wasn't for a while and I also know that this hampered PHP 5 getting out there. Is it possible to install both PHP 4 and PHP 5 on a single web server, have scripts all use the php extension, and somehow specify in the script itself which version of PHP should be used? -Ed

I'll try that...But why shouldn't I have register_globals on (which my ISP does and every tutorial I've ever read says to do in order to use several different features of PHP:-/). --Death Gauge How do you gauge your death?!
