Ok, I got it :)
Is there a better way to do a very fast encryption of a file for a key
that changes daily ?
The movie is loading and playing at the same time [progressive/rtsp],
so the encrypt/decrypt needs to be pretty fast
I tried mcrypt but it seemed way to slow
Maybe there is a better encryption method ? Or, are there better
characters to search/replace ?
Does not have to be ultra secure...just needs to be encryption that
could last a day or so...as it will change daily.
When I run this, the movie plays, but shows a blank screen and plays no
audio...which is exactly what I want :)
I want to write a data handler on the user side that connects to a db
and gets the $find and $replace keys to unlock the movie
many thanks in advance...and yes, I am experimenting
?php
$fileSize = filesize($filepath);
header(ETag: .md5(time()));
header(Accept-Ranges: bytes);
header (Content-Length: .$fileSize);
header('Content-Type: video/quicktime');
$find = array({,ፀ,k,?);
$replace = array(q,m,g,);
if( $fd = fopen($filepath, 'rb')){
while(!feof($fd)) {
echo str_replace($find,$replace, fread($fd, 8192));
}
fclose ($fd);
exit;
}
?

AFAIK, readfile does not parameters to alter the file contents

$date = mysql date field 2005-09-23 for example
$difference =ceil((strtotime($date) - time()) / 86400);
strtotime is far nicer than mktime when you already have a date field ready.

There might be an easier way but... convert to timestamp, subtract

Chris.
I actually discovered how to do this right after I made the post. I
looked at some archives and worked this out.
code
// today - 9/23/05
$start = mktime(0, 0, 0, date(m), date(d), date(Y));
// the objective day - 3/15/06
$end = mktime(0, 0, 0, 3, 15, 2006);
// subtract today from the objective and divide by 24*60*60 to get days
$difference = ceil(($end - $start) / (86400));
/code
Thanks for your assistance.

Hello Dwayne,
This is easy enough, all you need to do is define return_array. I've
included an example here, it's mailer code, but, should illustrate what
you need to do.
function test()
{
$return_array = null;
if (...) {
$return_array = $db-getAll(SELECT * FROM table, DB_FETCHMODE_ASSOC);
}
return $return_array;
}
That means, you need to assign or indicate that return_array exists
before you use it in something like return or other PHP function. Your
php.ini file for PHP 4 could have been more forgiving coming to these
notices/warnings.
Warm Regards,
Torgny Bjers

Thanks Torgny,
Im a real newby here at php scripting. What should I put in the ()?
Copying the snip into the script complains about that. This is in a db.php
which defines how another script should utilize the database. I could copy the
db.php into an email for someone to look over.

Hello to all,
I have 2 scripts ( preparing about 1000 mails for pear's mail-queue and

There are
- limitations of the provider for the duration of the scripts

So I had the idea to write a selfreferencing script like that:
$begin= intval($_GET[begin]);
$allMails = 1000;
//... prepare / send a portion of for example 50 mails
if (($begin+ 50) $allMails) {
header(Location: script.php?begin=.($begin+ 50));

}
But I want to show the user some output like a statusbar (eventually
with pear's Html_Progress) or something like that so he knows the script
is still working.
instead of simply headering the location out, you could simply output
a html page, that has a meta tag to replace it.
What do you mean with that meta tag?
maybe something like
html/head/meta tag here
body
?php
$full_width = 200;
$amt_sent = $_GET['begin'] + 50;
$amt_to_send = 1000;
$img_width = ceil($amt_sent * $full_width / $amt_to_send);
?
img src=pixel.php height=20 width=?php echo $img_width; ?
?php
flush();
send_the_mails();
?
Has anybody of you an idea, a tip for me how to do it?
I don't see how I can do it within the construct above.
Is there an alternative to it?
This doesn't necessarly need to be done using a self-referencing
script. You could have an ajax type system where each script is
accessed sequentially.
And what is an ajax type system? I'm not sure if I don't understand what
you mean due to my lack of english speaking capabilities or if I don't
know the concept.
I assume the last. But additionaly I don't find the word ajax in my
dictionaries or at leo's. Is it an abbreviation?
Kind regards

Re: [PHP] selfreferencing script with output
Thanks for your answer, Gustav,
now I see I didn't explain good enough what my problem is.
My problem is not how to construct a status bar, but not it is possible
to provide any output before the headering (*Warning*: Cannot modify
header information - headers already sent by). Neither after it.
Best regards
Sabine
P.S.: I played around with PEARs HTML_Progress. It's really worth
trying. The user doc on Laurent Lavilles page provides a lot of
explanation and examples. (http://pear.laurent-laville.org/HTML_Progress/).

Hi
I don't know if this works, but I think it ought to work:
Set a picture (a line) with width 1, next iteration set the line to
width 2, next to width 3...
OR set a picture with width % off count of mails
Change picture with dhtml (or if you prefer Javascript and css ;-))

The (...) was just an illustration if you had an if statement that
didn't fire, then $return_array wouldn't be defined at all. Just put
$return_array = null; in the top of the script somewhere so that it is
defined at all times, that way you don't have to worry about the actual
notice about it not being defined.
You can then also make a simple check to see if it is an array, for
instance:
if (!emtpy($return_array) is_array($return_array)) {
/* Code to do something with $return_array */
}
That would be a good idea if you for instance are going to iterate the
items in the array somewhere, if you don't check first, you might
attempt to iterate a variable that doesn't contain an array but null,
then PHP will yell at you for that.
You are welcome to mail the script to me privately and I can take a look

[PHP] Cross Tabulation

[PHP] Using fopen('php://stdout') with apache
I'm trying to move some code that was written for the CLI to the web. It
makes extensive use fprintf() and fputs() and under Apache2 it give no
output.
The simple test case that demonstrates the problem looks like:
?php
$fp = fopen('php://stdout', 'w');
if ($fp === false) {
die('open failed.');
}
print You can see this with the CLI and Apache.\n;
fputs($fp, This only shows up on the CLI...\n);
fclose($fp);
?
Using php-cli on FreeBSD:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/www/multivac php phptest.php
You can see this with the CLI and Apache.
This only shows up on the CLI...
Viewing the page using Apache2 and mod_php5:
You can see this with the CLI and Apache.
Anyone know how to get a reference to the standard output to work with
the Apache2 SAPI?
Thanks,
andrew

[PHP] How to Looking at Raw Binary Data with PHP and curl
How do you display raw binary data of a file sent from a server with
curl ?
When I curl a movie file with curl -l -i path2file/file.php,I get the
below output in my Terminal.
file.php:
$find = array($find1,$find2,$find3,$find4);
$replace = array($replace1,$replace2,$replace3,$replace4);
if( $fd = fopen($filepath, 'rb')){
while(!feof($fd)) {
echo str_replace($find,$replace, fread($fd, $chunkSize)); //read and
encode
}
fclose ($fd);
exit;
}
I want to encrypt the file with something akin to str_replace and
decode it on the other side with a custom data handler
Just want to make sure that I am str_replace'ing the actual data and
not a representation of it :)
I am am bit new to this and deep in experimentation so any help is
appreciated :)

I'm not an expert on databases, and I haven't a notion of mailing you off-list, with information that could potentially benifit others as well, but from my understanding, deleting an index(a good index that is) would slow the db down in certain cases.

[PHP] serialize
I have an app that stores evaluation scores so I have 30+ values all within a certain range, currently in the db, each of these values has it's own column: Table test id user_id motivation caring personal_characteristics creativity, ...etc. If the client decides they want to trap more characteristics, it requires changes to the table structure and the table quickly gets large with 30+ columns.
