[PHP] configuring the CLI version of PHP
I'm not a sysadmin so I'm sorry if this sounds like a dumb question: I have a powerbook running 10.4 which has php installed correctly for the webserver. However, for the CLI version, it is 4.3.11. How best could I specify the correct version of php for the CLI (either switching via configuration file or at runtime of the script)? When I do sudo find / -name php -print , I get the following: /usr/bin/php /usr/include/php /usr/lib/php How would I know which version in which? -jon -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] configuring the CLI version of PHP
Hi Jonathan, /usr/bin/php /usr/include/php /usr/lib/php How would I know which version in which? which php should tell where your phpcli binary are. php -v should tell you which php version you are running. -- Marco Kaiser
[PHP] Unnecessary if statement? Programming technique
Hi everyone
Quick question:
If I have such a loop:
?
for($i=0;$i100;$i++) {
if($i==100) {
// do something special for this occurence
}
// do something standard
}
?
In this case it seems such a waste that the if() statement is done 99
times when it's not needed. Is there any obvious trick that I am missing?
I'm not sure how taxing a simple if() statement is on a server, maybe it's
negligible, or is it something to worry about?
Something which I'd prefer NOT to do:
?
for($i=0;$i100;$i++) {
// do something standard
}
// do something special for $i = 100
for($i=101;$i100;$i++) {
// do something standard
}
?
as I would have have to either keep two copies of the code or write a
function just for this purpose, which hardly seems worth it.
Thanks to anyone who takes the time to think about my question and/or
respond.
Best wishes,
Steve McGill

[PHP] what is better for performance?
Hi, I am just thinking about that what is better for storeing structured variables in point of view of performance. Is better store structured variables in associative array, for example: $person['first_name'] = 'Karel'; $person['last_name'] = 'Kozlik'; $person['address'] = 'somewhere on Earth'; or in object like this: $person-first_name = 'Karel'; $person-last_name = 'Kozlik'; $person-address = 'somewhere on Earth'; I feel that objects are better for performance, but work with associative arrays is pleasanter for me. May be the diference in performance measurable? (in heavy loaded environment) thanks Karel -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] HTTP User Authentication Problems
Ave,
I¹m trying to run this very simple HTTP user authentication script:
?php
if (!isset($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'])) {
header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm=Private');
header('HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized');
echo 'Unauthorized';
exit;
} else {
if(($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER']==try)
($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW']==try)) {
?
HTML
HEAD/HEAD
BODY
My Stuff Goes Here!
/BODY
/HTML
?
}
else {
echo Access Denied;
}
}
?
The problem is, this script runs perfectly fine on my localhost machine at
home, however it¹s not working on my web server (purchased webhosting). When
I open this page on my web site, it does bring up the popup box asking for
Username Password the problem is, even if I type the correct user/pass,
it won¹t accept it. It keeps asking me for user/pass again and again and
finally brings up the ³Unauthorized² text on the page.
Why won¹t it allow the correct user/pass to login? I don¹t understand.
The only difference between the PHP on my localhost and the PHP on my
webhost server is that my local machine is running PHP 5 and the webhost
server is running PHP 4.4.1

Re: [PHP] HTTP User Authentication Problems
Hi Rahul,
Try doing a print_r($_SERVER) to see if the variables are being set.
If they aren't, take a look at the phpinfo(); - chances are your host is
using a CGI binary version of PHP to use together with a security wrapper
like suPHP or phpSuExec, which might throw away the variables that you
require.

Re: [PHP] Unnecessary if statement? Programming technique
Hi,
David is right about the unwanted side-effect. Thanks for the idea though.
Unfortunately the 'greater problem' is not so great, I've just been doing
this for a while now and find myself programming loops like these so often
and I've never got round to testing if a simple IF statement is a major
drain on the CPU. Somehow I doubt it.
I got this reply from someone direct to my mail address, which seems to sum
it up:
--
In truth you are not evaluating the whole if block just the condition
and since its such a simple condition I can't see how it would be at
all taxing on the server. In your specific case I can't think of a
better way to do it either.
--
I'll try and think of a better example:
?
$bool = true; // this is set dynamically and not known in advance
while(true) {
if($bool) { // this condition tested in every single loop
// do first code
} else {
// do second code
}
}
?
and I am wondering if the compiler is smart enough to turn this into:
?
$bool = true; // this is set dynamically and not known in advance
if($bool) { // this condition only tested once
while(true) {
// do first code
}
} else {
while(true) {
// do second code
}
}
?
I realise this might be hard to follow without giving specific examples and
code.
In this case, the coding style of the 2nd example seems far better, but
sometimes the 2 blocks of code are practically identical and it's a
programmer's nightmare to have the blocks of code in 2 places and to
remember to keep them both updated.
I'm also assuming that using function calls is also much slower than
evaluating a very simple IF statement.
Thanks for your interest.
Best wishes,
Steve

RE: [PHP] What software do you use for writing PHP?
Nusphere PhpED and love it. Tried a few other editors but stayed with PhpED now for the last year and about to renew my subscription. Excellent project management, brilliant debugger (local and remote), code error detection and highlighting, fast (much faster than the java editors), able to handle huge projects, and very stable. Not as expensive as the Zend equivalent (last time I checked) and in my opinion it's much better. Good support from the forum and quick responses from the support desk. I keep checking out the new editors and new versions of old editors as they come out but nothing yet to match PhpED. I develop on Windows but there's a Linux version too (which I haven't tried). If you're looking for a professional PHP IDE you won't find better. And BTW I don't work for Nusphere, I just really like their product.

Anyhow... Do I have any alternatives for an http authentication kind of

Hi Rahul,
Try doing a print_r($_SERVER) to see if the variables are being set.
If they aren't, take a look at the phpinfo(); - chances are your host is
using a CGI binary version of PHP to use together with a security wrapper
like suPHP or phpSuExec, which might throw away the variables that you
require.

Ave,
I¹m trying to run this very simple HTTP user authentication script:
?php
if (!isset($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'])) {
header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm=Private');
header('HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized');
echo 'Unauthorized';
exit;
} else {
if(($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER']==try)
($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW']==try)) {
?
HTML
HEAD/HEAD
BODY
My Stuff Goes Here!
/BODY
/HTML
?
}
else {
echo Access Denied;
}
}
?
The problem is, this script runs perfectly fine on my localhost machine at
home, however it¹s not working on my web server (purchased webhosting). When
I open this page on my web site, it does bring up the popup box asking for
Username Password the problem is, even if I type the correct user/pass,
it won¹t accept it. It keeps asking me for user/pass again and again and
finally brings up the ³Unauthorized² text on the page.
Why won¹t it allow the correct user/pass to login? I don¹t understand.
The only difference between the PHP on my localhost and the PHP on my
webhost server is that my local machine is running PHP 5 and the webhost
server is running PHP 4.4.1

Re: [PHP] Unnecessary if statement? Programming technique
Hi,
I imagine this kind of thing is not especially taxing on the processor,
especially if the condition is a fairly simple comparison. That said, I
have very little understanding aside from my own limited experience of
what runs slowly!
If you're worried about code maintenance, then move the code out to a
function and pass the parts that vary as parameters.
Cheers,

Hi,
David is right about the unwanted side-effect. Thanks for the idea though.
Unfortunately the 'greater problem' is not so great, I've just been doing
this for a while now and find myself programming loops like these so often
and I've never got round to testing if a simple IF statement is a major
drain on the CPU. Somehow I doubt it.
I got this reply from someone direct to my mail address, which seems to sum
it up:
--
In truth you are not evaluating the whole if block just the condition
and since its such a simple condition I can't see how it would be at
all taxing on the server. In your specific case I can't think of a
better way to do it either.
--
I'll try and think of a better example:
?
$bool = true; // this is set dynamically and not known in advance
while(true) {
if($bool) { // this condition tested in every single loop
// do first code
} else {
// do second code
}
}
?
and I am wondering if the compiler is smart enough to turn this into:
?
$bool = true; // this is set dynamically and not known in advance
if($bool) { // this condition only tested once
while(true) {
// do first code
}
} else {
while(true) {
// do second code
}
}
?
I realise this might be hard to follow without giving specific examples and
code.
In this case, the coding style of the 2nd example seems far better, but
sometimes the 2 blocks of code are practically identical and it's a
programmer's nightmare to have the blocks of code in 2 places and to
remember to keep them both updated.
I'm also assuming that using function calls is also much slower than
evaluating a very simple IF statement.
Thanks for your interest.
Best wishes,

This involves dividing 100 by 100 for each iteration of the loop.
It would be better to test against 1.
There is also the unwanted side-effect of executing the code on each
hundredth iteration, which is unwanted (as far as I understand the
problem). :)
It would be interesting if Steve could divulge the greater problem that
he is seeking a solution to.

Re: [PHP] Unnecessary if statement? Programming technique
This is probably going to sound strange, but I like to try to think outside the
box (buzzphrase!) and hit things at odd angles.
Would someone care to test (or already know) the performance difference between
a for loop and a foreach loop?
Or the performance difference over many iterations of if (something ==
somethingelse) versus if (true)?
Two examples to test:
?php
$arr = array_fill(0, 99, 'echo \test standard\;');
$arr[100] = 'echo \test special\;';
foreach ($arr as $value) {
eval($value);
}
?
or
?php
$arr = array_fill(0, 99, true);
$arr[100] = false;
foreach ($arr as $value) {
if ($value) {
// do standard
} else {
// do special
}
}
?
I'd be curious to see the benchmarks. I wonder if a if() versus doing the
value check in a for statement are different speed-wise.. I'm wondering how
much eval() slows it down.. and I'm wondering if if (value == value2) is
slower than if (true).
Probably other offbeat ways of doing something like this too.

Hi everyone
Quick question:
If I have such a loop:
?
for($i=0;$i100;$i++)
if($i==100)
// do something special for this occurence
// do something standard
?
In this case it seems such a waste that the if() statement is done 99
times when it's not needed. Is there any obvious trick that I am missing?
I'm not sure how taxing a simple if() statement is on a server, maybe it's
negligible, or is it something to worry about?
Something which I'd prefer NOT to do:
?
for($i=0;$i100;$i++)
// do something standard
// do something special for $i = 100
for($i=101;$i100;$i++)
// do something standard
?
as I would have have to either keep two copies of the code or write a
function just for this purpose, which hardly seems worth it.
Thanks to anyone who takes the time to think about my question and/or
respond.
Best wishes,
Steve McGill

RE: [PHP] What software do you use for writing PHP?
I primarily code in Dreamweaver 8. Two of my favorite features that were added from MX are as follows: 1. Code folding, basically you can collapse blocks of code. If you have to work with other peoples code, matching braces and code folding is an awesome way of just seeing the logical flow of the code, and hide all the details. DW 8 code folding is great because you can select any amount of code and collapse it. The bummer about dreamweaver is that it doesn't detect functions and add a collapse handle to it like Zend Studio, or have the default to automatically collapse functions when you open a page like Zend Studio. 2. The built in FTP client. You can set it so that when you save it auto uploads the file to the site. They also put the upload/download process into a separate process. This means that you can download or upload a bunch of files and still continue to work on files. One thing that bugs me is that the dialogue box always comes up and you have to click around or minimize it to hide it, why isn't there an option to just keep it hidden on upload? I used Zend Studio for a month, in hopes that I would be able to figure out how to install the whole IDE with server on my machine. I wanted to use the debugging features in it, but I have never been able to get all the pieces installed correctly AND gotten a work flow down where I could use the debugger effectively. ZS has code folding too, but just for functions. Someone else mentioned support for phpDoc, this is an awesome time saver if you want to provide clear documentation in phpdoc format. One big bummer on ZS was that it didn't have a built in FTP client. A work around is to work directly off the server. I tried Magumas Workbench product for a little bit, but it seemed very mickey mouse compared to ZS and DW. But I'm sure it's really a good product and I just didn't' give it a chance.

When you say SlickEdit has a ftp client built in, is it a separate window that gets launched, or is it more integrated, like you can just right click on your list of files and say put these files up on the server. For me just being able to save and have the file get uploaded saves me a lot of extra clicks.

Re: [PHP] SSI problem with php after 4.3.10 - 4.4.1 upgrade
In case anyone encounters this problem - using the latest 4.4.x
snapshot fixed the problem for me (thanks, developers!).

I'm having a problem with certain SSI files which include php scripts
after upgrding php from 4.3.10 to 4.4.1.
The includes look like:
!--#include file=eventsdb.php?ID=81fld=2 --
In some cases, the page output is different with 4.4.1 than it is with
4.3.10. In the worst cases, Apache gives a segmentation fault, and
the page is blank.
Has anyone encountered any similar issues?
[/snip]
We'd have to see some code to begin to analyse what the problem might be.
Can you send php code snips from eventdb.php?
The code is short. The same php script is being included in the page
which is displaying differently and the page which is causing the
apache segfault.
if (empty($ID)){
$ID='1';
}
$today = date(Ymd);
$conn = mysql_connect ([snip]);
if ($conn == false){
echo mysql_errno() . : . mysql_error() . BR;
exit;
}
else {
$rtn = mysql_select_db ([tablename]);
$sql = select * from events where ID = .$ID;
$result = mysql_query ($sql);
if ( ($row = mysql_fetch_row($result))
($today=$row[4]
) ){
//if ( $row =
mysql_fetch_
row($result)) {
switch ($fld){
case 2:
echo $row[2];
break;
case 5:
echo $row[5];
break;
case 6:
echo $row[6];
break;
case 7:
echo $row[7];
break;
default:
echo $row[1];
break;
}
}
}
By the way, the backtrace from the apache segfault is:
#0 0xb7e095cc in zend_hash_index_update_or_next_insert (ht=0xb7ea29c0, h=0,
pData=0xbfffdc60, nDataSize=12, pDest=0x0, flag=1)
at /home/sys/src/php-4.4.1/Zend/zend_hash.c:390
390 p = ht-arBuckets[nIndex];
(gdb) bt full
#0 0xb7e095cc in zend_hash_index_update_or_next_insert (ht=0xb7ea29c0, h=0,

at /home/sys/src/php-4.4.1/Zend/zend_hash.c:390
nIndex = 0
p = Variable p is not available.
(gdb)
That segfault backtrace is the same even if I compile php with the
--without-zend-memory-manager flag, and also when I disable all Zend
settings in php.ini.

[PHP] Migration to PHP5
Hi, Does anyone have stats in terms of migration from 4 to 5, specifically I'd like to know if the bulk of PHP developers have begun to change-over. I am (was) a Java developer, but have been doing freelance/consultant work in PHP for two years and am still developing on PHP4 platform. I remember when PHP4 was introduced (while I was still in college), and I made the transition to it immediately, but I have refrained from doing so for 5, since most development gigs are still working with 4. Basically I am wondering if it would be advantageous to make the switch; on another note, with PHP5's stronger OO model, I am considering moving from page-centric to an MVC model, but it seems there are a million MVC frameworks available and haven't had any experience with them.

[PHP] references, circular references, oop, and garbage collection in PHP5
So.. I am having PHP5 memory management problems.
They are similar to those described in this thread:
http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Mail/Message/php-Dev/1555640
(so maybe this question belongs on php-dev but I figured I'd try here
first... seems like a userland question)
Basically I have an object model to represent db objects, and I am
bulk-loading the objects via some PHP scripts. Sadly the scripts
consume unbounded memory because of this problem.
I have done a lot of programming in C++ and Obj-C and the normal way
to handle circular references is to have parents retain (keep ref-
counted links) to their kids, and have the kids have weak
references (non-ref-counted) links to their parents. This way, when
the parent is no longer used, it will automatically 0-out the ref
counts to all children it links too and things GC correctly.
Now, how to do this in PHP?
Well, there are no documented weak references. However, I figured
out by trial that if you obtain a php-reference to an object, it
doesn't bump the refcount.
Question #1: Is the fact that references to objects in the form
$objRef = $obj don't bump the refcount of $obj an intended behavior
that can be counted on? If so, cool!
So, now that we have a way to do weak references, we should be able
to implement a reasonable memory management scheme for parent-child
objects.
Normally from the client side the interface should look something like:
$parent = new Parent();
$child = new Child();
$parent-addChild($child);
Where parent can have 0,n children and child can have 0,1 parent.
And all of parent's internal links to child should be refcounted, and
the internal links from child to parent are weak (not ref-counted).
So based on the above discovery about references, I tried to
implement this as such:
class Parent
{
public $children = array();
// add a child to our list. We want a ref-counted link here.
function addChild($child)
{
$this-children[] = $child;// refCounted desired in
parent-child link
$child-setParent($this);
}
}
class Child
{
public $parent;
// set the parent object. We want a non-ref-counted link here.
function setParent($parent)
{
// refCount NOT desired in child-parent link
$this-parent = $parent;
}
}
Now, you'd expect this would work, but it doesn't. On a hunch, I
changed the client code to:
$parent = new Parent();
$child = new Child();
$parent-addChild($child);
$child-setParent($child); // new line here - you can successfully
create a reference to the object when not passed in as $this
Now, this works! However, it's not practical. The setParent call
should work from within the parent object
So what I figured out is that $this is a pseudo variable according
to the docs, but I don't know what that means. Empirically I have
figured out that it means you cannot create a reference to it.
Is this a feature or a bug? What's the workaround?
This is a serious problem for PHP scripts that need to do things that
require large amounts of memory.
Please advise.
Thanks,
Alan

Re: [PHP] references, circular references, oop, and garbage collection in PHP5
I am uncertain on this, but I believe that the $this variable is already
just a reference to the class you are calling it from. Then passing the
reference by-reference to the addParent() method of the Child class
could be what is causing your issue. I'd be curious to see what would
happen if you took out the pass-by-reference and instead pass-by-value
for the addParent() method. Then again, that doesn't particularly sound
correct either.
This link might help. They cover a lot of advanced reference usage for PHP.

So.. I am having PHP5 memory management problems.
They are similar to those described in this thread:
http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Mail/Message/php-Dev/1555640
(so maybe this question belongs on php-dev but I figured I'd try here
first... seems like a userland question)
Basically I have an object model to represent db objects, and I am
bulk-loading the objects via some PHP scripts. Sadly the scripts
consume unbounded memory because of this problem.
I have done a lot of programming in C++ and Obj-C and the normal way
to handle circular references is to have parents retain (keep ref-
counted links) to their kids, and have the kids have weak
references (non-ref-counted) links to their parents. This way, when
the parent is no longer used, it will automatically 0-out the ref
counts to all children it links too and things GC correctly.
Now, how to do this in PHP?
Well, there are no documented weak references. However, I figured
out by trial that if you obtain a php-reference to an object, it
doesn't bump the refcount.
Question #1: Is the fact that references to objects in the form
$objRef = $obj don't bump the refcount of $obj an intended behavior
that can be counted on? If so, cool!
So, now that we have a way to do weak references, we should be able
to implement a reasonable memory management scheme for parent-child
objects.
Normally from the client side the interface should look something like:
$parent = new Parent();
$child = new Child();
$parent-addChild($child);
Where parent can have 0,n children and child can have 0,1 parent.
And all of parent's internal links to child should be refcounted, and
the internal links from child to parent are weak (not ref-counted).
So based on the above discovery about references, I tried to
implement this as such:
class Parent
{
public $children = array();
// add a child to our list. We want a ref-counted link here.
function addChild($child)
{
$this-children[] = $child;// refCounted desired in
parent-child link
$child-setParent($this);
}
}
class Child
{
public $parent;
// set the parent object. We want a non-ref-counted link here.
function setParent($parent)
{
// refCount NOT desired in child-parent link
$this-parent = $parent;
}
}
Now, you'd expect this would work, but it doesn't. On a hunch, I
changed the client code to:
$parent = new Parent();
$child = new Child();
$parent-addChild($child);
$child-setParent($child);// new line here - you can
successfully create a reference to the object when not passed in as
$this
Now, this works! However, it's not practical. The setParent call
should work from within the parent object
So what I figured out is that $this is a pseudo variable according
to the docs, but I don't know what that means. Empirically I have

[PHP] Optimizing Images
Hi all, ok, I'm trying to write a script to optimize images for the web, but I can't seem to figure out how to go about reducing the color pallete, and therefor reducing the size of the images. I'm trying to be generic about it so that users can optimize GIF's and JPG's or even PNG's. I can't find much in the way of code on the net about doing this... Does anyone have any suggestions as to maybe some freely available scripts or classes that can help me figure this out ???

If you're working from a Linux box, do some studying on imagemagik. It has scads of tools and uses one of the best optimization algorythms I've seen.

[PHP] Debuggers on Windows Servers
Anyone out there running debuggers and profilers on your windows boxes? I'd like to start profiling some of my code and use some debuggers. Since we have dev sites on the same box with product sites, I wanted to make sure that before I ask our Sysadmin to install anything that they are stable and easy to install. Any suggetsions out there? Ones that I have run across, xdebug, DBG, Advanced PHP Debugger. Thanks, Mark

If the condition evaluates to false, it assigns nothing. Any idea why it won't assign false? If I switch the FALSE boolean value to the number 0, that will get assigned. Seems kinda strange... $this-m_arrQuesInfo[$this-m_itemID]['blnVacPromo'] = ( ( !empty($_POST['vac_promo']) ) ( $_POST['vac_promo'] == 'on' ) ) ? TRUE : FALSE; It only appears to be nothing, if you issue: php -r echo false; Nothing happens. if you issue: php -r var_dump(false); You'll get bool(false) Btw, your condition is doing extra work. Consider the output of: php -r var_dump(0 1); Outputs: bool(false) So your condition to return true or false isn't really needed, a simple: $this-m_arrQuesInfo[$this-m_itemID]['blnVacPromo'] = ( !empty($_POST['vac_promo'])$_POST['vac_promo'] == 'on'; ) Will be exactly the same thing. Also I would suggest changing empty() to isset(), so you would have $this-m_arrQuesInfo[$this-m_itemID]['blnVacPromo'] = ( isset($_POST['vac_promo'])$_POST['vac_promo'] == 'on'; ) empty() in this case doesn't really mean anything, the isset() will prevent a E_NOTICE to happen.

[PHP] Classes/Objects - Books/Links?
Hello, I want to learn about classes and objects in PHP. (IMHO) I would say that my understanding of functions is very good. Any books that you could suggest that specifically address just classes/objects? How-a-bout sites/links/tutorials on the web? I am hoping that by learning how to use classes/objects in PHP I can streamline how I code. Thanks in advance!
