[PHP] Server Client Architecture, best parctice
Hi! I would like to know what does the community think of the best architecture for server client communication and why? That is, if there is a server in C++ (say a game server) and the PHP has to 'read' data 'from' the server then what is the best form of communication? a) Shared Memory : Server opens the shared memory in write and the PHP scripts open it in read and gets the data b) TMPFS (just like shared memory): Server opens a file in tmpfs in write and PHP in read c) Databases: Server Updates a table in the DB and client reads from the table d) Files: Same as TMPFS Regards, Yaswanth -- In theory there is no difference between theory and practice.

my friend here forgot to add that it will be a pretty busy website with lots of requests. And i would also like to know if there are any other forms of communication other than the 4 that my friend here specified. Anything that you people think will be efficient.

Re: [PHP] Shared Memory Problem
Yaswanth Narvaneni wrote: Hi! I found the solution to my prob. SELinux was enabled in the server which needs disabling. After disabling SELinux it was working great. Thanks for your help guys. Another small query though, is there anyway to enable SELinux and as well use shared memory between PHP and C++? I know using Zend engine the zend engine is free.. I think you mean 'Zend Some Product Name' instead :-) would solve the prob, but we need to buy zend which is very costly for me, any other solution is welcome.

[PHP] Suppressing Notices from imap_headerinfo()?
I am using imap_headerinfo() to query articles from an NNTP server. I have encountered a situation where I can't suppress some notices from imap_headerinfo() and I can't figure out why. It appears that imap_headerinfo() doesn't like the e-mail address in the article (which is SPAM blocked) and spits out the following: Notice: (null)(): Unterminated mailbox: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (errflg=3) in Unknown on line 0 Notice: (null)(): Must use comma to separate addresses: lancaster(DOT.)ac(DOT.)uk (errflg=3) in Unknown on line 0 I have tried calling ob_start() and ob_clean() around my calls to imap_headerinfo() as well as adding the '@' character to the call to imap_headerinfo(). ob_start() ; $header = @imap_headerinfo($nntp, $i) ; $ob = ob_get_contents() ; ob_clean() ; Oddly the $ob variable doesn't contain anything which implies that imap_headerinfo() is dumping it's notices directly. Any suggestions on how to suppress these notices? I don't even use the email field in my application.

[PHP] OS Detection
Ave,
I'm working on a Guestbook for a site and I'm trying to identify Browser
Operating System of the user and eventually I'll display the Icon matching
the Browser/OS in the entry.
I'm able to identify and use an If Conditional statement for the Browser,
but I can't seem to identify the OS.
This is what I'm using to identify the Browser:
function browser_detection( $which_test ) {
// initialize the variables
$browser = '';
$dom_browser = '';
// set to lower case to avoid errors, check to see if http_user_agent is set
$navigator_user_agent = ( isset( $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] ) ) ?
strtolower( $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] ) : '';
// run through the main browser possibilities, assign them to the main
$browser variable
if (stristr($navigator_user_agent, opera))
{
$browser = 'opera';
$dom_browser = true;
}
elseif (stristr($navigator_user_agent, msie 4))
{
$browser = 'msie4';
$dom_browser = false;
}
elseif (stristr($navigator_user_agent, msie))
{
$browser = 'msie';
$dom_browser = true;
}
elseif ((stristr($navigator_user_agent, konqueror)) ||
(stristr($navigator_user_agent, safari)))
{
$browser = 'safari';
$dom_browser = true;
}
elseif (stristr($navigator_user_agent, gecko))
{
$browser = 'mozilla';
$dom_browser = true;
}
elseif (stristr($navigator_user_agent, mozilla/4))
{
$browser = 'ns4';
$dom_browser = false;
}
else
{
$dom_browser = false;
$browser = false;
}
// return the test result you want
if ( $which_test == 'browser' )
{
return $browser;
}
elseif ( $which_test == 'dom' )
{
return $dom_browser;
// note: $dom_browser is a boolean value, true/false, so you can just test
if
// it's true or not.
}
}
$user_browser = browser_detection('browser');
echo $user_browser;
if ( $user_browser == 'opera' )
{
echo OPERA;
}
else {
echo SOMETHING ELSE;
}
?
Any suggestions on getting the OS ?

Re: [PHP] Re: Wierd error
There is nothing weird when this function takes a variable as the argument and your using an object, read the manual http://php.net/settype I'm not sure what you mean here. Nowhere on the doc page for settype() (at least, not that I saw) does it say you can't pass an object as the first argument. Or, if you do, there is odd results. Additionally, we are using settype() to null out/unset objects else where in our code and that causes no error to show up in the log. thnx, Chris -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

None, their all messy and terribly hard to read, I would use CSS instead of tables, that way their would be not much need to change any HTML code incase you wanted to re-design your webpage with another style or make slight alterations etc, HTML coders should be able to understand CSS so would be able to identify the bits of HTML within your PHP code if it needed changing, your code would be a lot easier to read using CSS, easier to alter and take up roughly 25% less space.

Re: [PHP] OS Detection
Ave,
Interesting.
I did get this JavaScript code for OS detection:
// This script sets OSName variable as follows:
// Windowsfor all versions of Windows
// MacOS for all versions of Macintosh OS
// Linux for all versions of Linux
// UNIX for all other UNIX flavors
// Unknown OS indicates failure to detect the OS
var OSName=Unknown OS;
if (navigator.appVersion.indexOf(Win)!=-1) OSName=Windows;
if (navigator.appVersion.indexOf(Mac)!=-1) OSName=MacOS;
if (navigator.appVersion.indexOf(X11)!=-1) OSName=UNIX;
if (navigator.appVersion.indexOf(Linux)!=-1) OSName=Linux;
document.write('Your OS: '+OSName);
Which does serve my purpose. I guess I'll work something with this out.
Thanks.

Subject: [PHP] OS Detection
Ave,
I'm working on a Guestbook for a site and I'm trying to identify Browser
Operating System of the user and eventually I'll display the Icon matching
the Browser/OS in the entry.
I'm able to identify and use an If Conditional statement for the Browser,
but I can't seem to identify the OS.
This is what I'm using to identify the Browser:
function browser_detection( $which_test ) {
// initialize the variables
$browser = '';
$dom_browser = '';
// set to lower case to avoid errors, check to see if
http_user_agent is set
$navigator_user_agent = ( isset( $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] ) ) ?
strtolower( $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] ) : '';
// run through the main browser possibilities, assign them to the main
$browser variable
if (stristr($navigator_user_agent, opera))
{
$browser = 'opera';
$dom_browser = true;
}
elseif (stristr($navigator_user_agent, msie 4))
{
$browser = 'msie4';
$dom_browser = false;
}
elseif (stristr($navigator_user_agent, msie))
{
$browser = 'msie';
$dom_browser = true;
}
elseif ((stristr($navigator_user_agent, konqueror)) ||
(stristr($navigator_user_agent, safari)))
{
$browser = 'safari';
$dom_browser = true;
}
elseif (stristr($navigator_user_agent, gecko))
{
$browser = 'mozilla';
$dom_browser = true;
}
elseif (stristr($navigator_user_agent, mozilla/4))
{
$browser = 'ns4';
$dom_browser = false;
}
else
{
$dom_browser = false;
$browser = false;
}
// return the test result you want
if ( $which_test == 'browser' )
{
return $browser;
}
elseif ( $which_test == 'dom' )
{
return $dom_browser;
// note: $dom_browser is a boolean value, true/false, so you can
just test
if
// it's true or not.
}
}
$user_browser = browser_detection('browser');
echo $user_browser;
if ( $user_browser == 'opera' )
{
echo OPERA;
}
else {
echo SOMETHING ELSE;
}
?
Any suggestions on getting the OS ?

Re: [PHP] Wierd error
We were using unset() for the longest time but found it doesn't seem to free up the memory. interesting - you are suggesting that settype does free the memory directly? Yes. Moreso than unset(), at least according to my observations and tests. I have seen a number of posts to internals regarding to being able to free up memory in long-running/heavy cli scripts... none of the devs mentioned settype() ... maybe you know something nobody else does :-) We have a very process intensive script that creates (and destroys) a large number of objects. As this script gets run again and again, we would see that the memory load would go through the roof and eventually cause Apache to crash (among other things; btw - this is running on a windoze box). We changed all the unset() to settype() and the memory usage over the same amount of time dropped dramatically - significantly, in fact. thnx, Chris -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

complex sites, and my JavaScript and other content always goes EXACTLY
where it's supposed to be, regardless of where the logic exists that
determines it's need to exist. For instance to include on load
javascript from any module:
-
$sAcc = $this-getServiceRef( 'accManager' );
$acc = $sAcc-getAccumulatorRef( 'javaScriptOnLoad' );
$acc-append( alert( 'F!' );\n );
I would highly agree with James Benson about CSS.
I agree CSS is great, but it's not everything. Custom tags allow one to
embed macro and meta semantics into a page without the cumbersome nature
of PHP function calls. For instance I find this meta tag handy in many
sites I create:
project:searchable
Some content that the site's search feature can search upon.
/project:searchable
Another one that my designer friends REALLY like:
project:restrict access=admin, manager
Some content that only admin and management can view.
/project:restrict
So templates aren't just about making pretty tables, though they can do
that quite well too.

If I misunderstood the intval part of your post, than the [proposed already] is_numeric solutions are the way to go. is_numeric will, however, unlike the conversion functions, return false if there's anything but a number in the string, so, i.e., is_numeric (10a1) will return false, but intval (10a1) will give 10. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] php + cURL issue
I'm having an issue with cURL. I have installed it on two different boxes, one is working properly, and another isn't. The script auto login's a user to a site. One server it works as expected and logs the user in, the other it does not. It appears the cookie data that is being saved is different on the two machines from the login. The code itself is identical. The result on the two servers is different. I've fiddled with this thing for a couple weeks, and now its too late to mess with it anymore as I have a launch target I need to hit. What I'd like is a php / IIS guru to help me fix this. I will give you remote desktop access to the server and you can take it away from there. I just need you to get the script running on the server the same as the other. The script is already there, its very simplistic, only about 50 lines or so, no database interaction, nothing fancy at all. I'm not a strong PHP guy, so its very simplistic. (again though, it works on other server, so its not a code issue) In return, I'll give you free hosting on one of my dedicated servers for 6 months. This is not your average shared hosting, I dont host sites for a living, I only host clients I code for - so there is only a handful of people on each server. In fact, the server you will be on, you will be the only person on it at this time. You'll have access to PHP (obviously), ColdFusion MX 7 (the latest, greatest version), MSSQL 2k and/or mySQL (different server), and if you need additional services, we can work that out.

Re: [PHP] checkng if string is a number
Curt,
yes, technically, 0 is a number - it's a bit late here, and I believe I
mis-understood the original question, which is why I re-posted in the thread.
I guess my mind got a bit confused by the combination of is_int doesn't
work, intval returns a number and '10' vs 'ten' example.
That's probably due to the fact I normally rely on intval() to do the job
for integers, which also helps remove some user mis-types at the end of
number fields, which is useful in situations when
A) you're ok with the user typing 11l when they mean 111
B) you don't want to accept a value of 0
In principle, that's the only problem with intval - a 0 will evaluate
as false in a logical statement. Unless one wants to make sure it's a full
number from start to end, of course...

I get no boo. intval doesn't convert my ten to a number.
Moreover, the output of the following:
Yes it does.
echo intval('a'); // 0
echo intval('0'); // 0
echo intval(0); // 0

Let's do it this way... What are the rules for a valid callsign?
Basicly, you see an example of each different type of callsign. Other
than the patterns you see above there are no real rules. A letter in
the example above means that there can only be a letter in the spot
and a number in a spot means there can only be a number in that spot.
There are 7 different formats and you see the one above.
Did you see the regex I had in a previous post?
/^([A-Z]{1,2}|[0-9][A-Z])([0-9])([A-Z]{1,3})$/
Using preg_match(), this will split a callsign like N8LAI into
array(
0 = 'N8LAI',
1 = 'N',
2 = '8',
3 = 'LAI'
)
and you can use the information however you like (i.e. this is a
standard technician/general class call sign, located in region 8
Michigan/Ohio/Kentucky, etc.)

Also this is where the open (well psudo open) relay occurs, if you dont filter things properly, you can open up the CC: and BCC: headers, allowing the person to anonymously send emails. why would a person allow a user to input header information on a web form? That sounds like a HUGE security hole or is there someway I just can't see? -- life is a game... so have fun. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Does anyone here use the pecl extension APC?
Filing a bug against APC with a gdb backtrace from one of these crashes would be useful. See http://pecl.php.net/bugs/report.php?package=APC -Rasmus -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
