Yes. That's what is happening as I said. I don't want it to re-write.
Just to be clear, what exactly are you trying to do? Are you trying
to kill a session, as in log a person off? Then do so within PHP:
[code]
// set $_SESSION to empty array
$_SESSION = array();
// if saving session in cookie, clear that out too
if(isset($_COOKIE[session_name()]))
{
setcookie(session_name(),'',time() - 4800,'/');
}
// destroy session completely
session_destroy();
[/code]

[PHP] array_search and in_array
Hi everyone.
I´m facing a big trouble that a don understand why is it happenin.

working.
By a for i pass by each register returned by database and print the code and
if it´s in my array, something like this:
for($y=0; $y$con-count;$y++){
$con-Seek($y);
echo $con-result['cod_loja']. -

RE: [PHP] GD to database directly
[snip] How much of a performance hit? [/snip] Here is an interesting read; http://mysqldump.azundris.com/archives/36-Serving-Images-From-A-Database .html Your system receives a number of file read requests, requesting it to load a number of blocks from the disk into the mysqld process. Eventually, the blocks show up in the buffer cache, and mysqld is woken up, receiving file data for the read requests. But I will say this, in this day and age there may not be the performance hit that we had in days gone by due to improvements in software and hardware, so I may have misspoken. I do believe in a one for one comparison where we use PHP and the file system or PHP and MySQL on the same box that, however minimal, there will be a difference favoring the file system using the same images. I also believe that these methods should be compared to using MySQL to hold data about the image so that the benchmarks could be run like this; PHP + File System PHP + MySQL (where MySQL stores a BLOB) PHP + MySQL (data only) + File System The reason for the last one is that is the likely way these technologies would be used together. I spend a lot of time utilizing the MySQL command line and other similar query analysis tools for MS-SQL and Oracle. Image BLOBs become more of a hindrance than a help at this level because these tools are not designed to properly parse and display the files. This is important because it adds to my bias against storing images in a database. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

The time taken per request, though (and that's about all we can get with

exactly what the PHP code is doing, how it does it, how your database is
organized/indexed/accessed, if you have any PHP accelerators installed
(Normally the PHP script would be reconverted to bytecode every
execution), etc.
Additionally, your test isn't really MySQL versus filesystem, it's
PHP+MySQL versus filesystem. Perhaps a more useful comparison would be
PHP+Filesystem versus PHP+MySQL. As in, the same PHP script for both
benchmarks, except one copy uses file_get_contents and echo (Closer
match than readfile, since MySQL would require loading the file into
memory) and the other uses MySQL. This would be a closer match that
would tell us how much latency is induced by the actual database itself
rather than PHP and loading stuff into memory.
Regards, Adam.
I was just running a simple test based on how I work with images. I
usually upload one, resize it on the fly, and save a new image which I
directly link to. Therefore I don't need anything to read and send a
raw image through PHP. If you think that is a valid test, then
perhaps you should use your own time to achive your adequate
benchmark.
As for my script:
?php
$link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'test', 'test') or die('unable to connect');
mysql_select_db('test') or die('unable to select');
$sql = SELECT imagedata FROM images WHERE id = 1;
$result = mysql_query($sql);
$row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result);
header('Content-Type: image/jpeg');
echo $row['imagedata'];
There is an auto inc primary on the id column.
I have APC disabled during this test so that isn't a problem.

what is it that you consider odd?
I have a generated string containing XML and I want it to end up on
a remote server as a file - it would be easy enough to write the string
into a tmp file in order to transfer that but I thought it would be nice
to not have to make the extra hit to the filesystem to get the job done.
I think I have figured out how to get some useful error messages using the
'notification' streams context parameter (using it to set a callback that traps
notifications including error messages);
nonetheless... if it is only the FILE writing that you care about
without using ftp functions, one (not the most efficient way, but who
gives a crap about a few seconds these days in a language like PHP?) use
the ftp functions to test everything up to the write (connect, login,
change directory, do everything right up to writing and then plug in
your lines)
not only inefficient but wrong: it would possibly result in a duplicate
connection (which the ftp server may not allow) and if you closed the first
connection first then you still have no garantee that the second connection
via the streams wrapper actually did it's job.
anyway thanks for the feedback.

[PHP] [ANNOUNCE] dumpster :: dumps out all related records in a mySQL InnoDB database
Hey all. Well I just finished my first version of a little tool I have affectionately dubbed dumpster. I do use my own SQL wrapper functions, but they should map fairly cleanly to a search and replace for the stock PHP mysql_*() ones, or your own ones. Mad props to Peter Brawley [EMAIL PROTECTED] for the initial SQL statement to get the FK constraints. If someone can point me at how to get the information I need to fix that bug, that'd be swell. ÐÆ5ÏÐ (I posted this to both the [php-general] and [php-db] lists, mostly b/c it seems the [php-db] list is pretty dead and the majority of people hang out on this one... Sorry if this irks any of you -- I know how uppity some of ya'll get ;-p ) -- This script attempts to generate all the SQL statements needed to archive a snapshot of a single 'thing'. For example, it can harvest all records related to a given user. (This only works for InnoDB tables that utilize proper FK constraints) Usage: ./dumpster.php --database mydb --table users --id 1 [--delete] user_1.sql Then later simply mysql --force -u root mydb user_1.sql to put the 'user' back --help, -help, -h, or -? options, to get this help. --databasethe name of the database to use. --table the name of the table to use in the database --id the ID that joins all these tables together in the database --FKonly only show the Foreign Key list and exit. --debug to turn on output debugging. --version to return the version of this file. --delete deletes the record as it is output (in 'debug' mode this outputs only, no action). KNOWN ISSUE: if a column is defined as ON DELETE SET NULL, then there's a better than average chance that it might get NULL'd by a DELETE before it, therefore we won't be able to clean up some records properly as their FK ID is now NULL. catch22. :-| There is probably a way to find out which FKs have this particular constraint action and then we could save off their PK in an array and loop through them at the end I think? http://daevid.com/examples/dumpster.tgz -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] Multiple sessions
Hi.
Is there a way to have multiple sessions open in one browser
(specifically, Firefox or Safari)? For example, IE does not transfer
session data from one window to another, however, Firefox does. So,
if one user opens a session and then his/her friend wants to open a
different session of that same program on the same computer, (s)he is
not able to without overwriting the first session data.
I have thought of one solution, but have yet to test it. Upon the
first user logging in, I could assign them as session ID (along with
the one that PHP creates). I could then verify that ID is being used
on each page. For the second user, I could create a different one and
do the same as the first.
? // User 1
$_SESSION[my_special_id] = abcd; // created upon logging in
if ($_SESSION[is_logged_in]
$_SESSION[my_special_id] == $_GET[my_special_id]) {
// do stuff
}
?
? // User 2 in a different window of Firefox
$_SESSION[my_special_id] = efgh; // created upon logging in
if ($_SESSION[is_logged_in]
$_SESSION[my_special_id] == $_GET[my_special_id]) {
// do stuff
}
?
Notice that they both share the same is_logged_in variable, but a
different my_special_id variable. Actually, I just noticed
something. If User 1 logs out and kills is_logged_in, that would
also kill it for User 2.
I don't know. I've confused myself now. Any suggestions? Common
practices?
Thanks in advance,

Not strictly true. It's actually based on instances. Firefox differs
from IE because if you start a new Firefox instance it joins the
existing instance if it exists. IE does not do this. To get the 'shared'

starting a new copy of IE.

I'm confused as to why you need a solution to this 'problem'. How likely
is it that you'll have 2 users trying to access your site on the same
machine at the same time? If it is likely (although I don't see how)
then you need to design your session data as an array keyed on the
username, but that would be very insecure.
In short are you trying to solve a perceived problem when no such
problem actually exists? Think about it for a while before jumping to
working around it.

The column headers are not automatically setting the width of the column as I was expecting. I have googled for this information but I have not been able to find an answer. I'm beginning to think that it is not possible. Before I go on to something else I thought I would ask the group. Is there a way to set the column width using the writer tool? Also, is there a way of putting a break in the column headers? For example I want... Total Amount to look like... Total Amount Thanks for any help Jef

In short are you trying to solve a perceived problem when no such problem actually exists? Think about it for a while before jumping to working around it. There are times when it's handy, but not often. For example, when I'm debugging my code it is useful to be able to log into my application's admin module (which uses sessions to ensure admin rights) without blowing away my user session. In my case, I flick between Firefox and Konqueror. I do this by giving the admin session a custom name. That way it doesn't trample over the user session. It would be nice to be able to separate the sessions generally though. The case where you have several accounts is just one example. If this is the case you want to handle then having a single session var which is an array of arrays of session vars keyed on the username will solve this problem, but it's your choice to needlessly over-complicate the situation.

RE: [PHP] How do I prevent a session from rebuilding itself?
I would expect that if I 'rm -rf /tmp/sess_*' that the user would get prompted to re-login (since the flag is not set). Does it say someplace in the manual that you should be able to do that? Or is this a case of what you expect is not what the rest of the world expects? This is how it used to work. I know this, because (as mentioned in other email), we have a custom bug tracker and people were being randomly logged out it seemed. Well turns out a cronjob was periodically deleting all the sess_ files. Basically all I want is that if the sess_ file is gone, then PHP should NOT create a new one. It should only save it's memory out to the same sess_ file with the same session ID. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Searching and storing results index in cookies or session variables
Hello, I have a question about how I am searching through a products database. What I am wanting to do is store the result set so that I can provide a link to go back to previous searches quickly, and also manipulate it quickly. If I had a flat catalog of pages I could index the content in a few tables and go with that, but I want the results to be customizable, and more flexible than ten links to ten items on ten different pages. I want the results delivered and recombined in one page. Currently what I am doing is the following: 1. I open an SQL statement with delimiters 2. I circulate through the entries and append to a array called $pageset both the item number and a ranking based on keywords etc. 3. I sort the array by relevance ranking 4. I figure out what my limit and offset are in my array and paginate based on user input. 5. I grab the 20 or so array elements within the range and create a new array called $display set. 6. For each of the current page items I pull the full item details from the database and propagate the array to my html template I wonder if instead of propagating the $pageset (results index) array every time I could store the $pageset array as a cookie or session variable. It is a small array with a few hundred elements and rankings, but if I could store it, I wouldn't have to build the array and do a relevancy sort every time I paginate to the next page. I would just take the current stored search array which is already sorted, and grab element x through element y. Would this be an efficient way using a session variable? Does anybody else handle search results in a similar way? -Brian Anderson -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
RE: [PHP] RE: How do I prevent a session from rebuilding itself?
Just to be clear, what exactly are you trying to do? Are you trying to logout a user No. We write enterprise level software probably far surpassing what PHP was ever intended for. However, our GUI is web based (LAMP). We have fail over cluster nodes. If a user is logged into one via a virtual IP, the browser sees it as transparent. When a node fails, it fails over fine (again, the browser still sees the same VIP). But the sess_ file is not on the new node -- by design. We purposely don't copy the /tmp/sess_ files. What we want is, since the session is gone, that $_SESSION['login'] is (in theory) missing/false [although it seems that PHP RAM takes precedence over HD now and this didn't used to be the case] that the user should be re-prompted to login. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Much better to store the images as files and store the path in the database. Storing paths and databases in slower than just storing images in the db or simnply storing them on the server.

Operating System File System: A highly-optimized well-tested database for large-sized binary data. Or... What is a database if not a file system? :-) You really need to TEST your assumption about the DB being faster. Where do you think the DB gets the humongous chunk of binary data? You think it's magic? No. It's coming FROM THE FILE SYSTEM. Ultimately, the hard drive is still getting pounded just as hard, by most DBs for most images, if you cram the image into the DB, because the chunk of data is: A) too large to be in RAM, and B) stored as a 'BLOB', which in most DBs, means it's stuck into a separate file, or at least into a separate offset within a monster file, which means the hard drive still has to do a seek to get to it. So, really, you're not saving anything, on MOST hardware setups, *unless* the images are all very very very tiny. If you've benchmarked on YOUR hardware and have a proven savings, fine, post your tests and output. If you have no benchmarks, I suggest you do that before you claim it's faster :-) -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] When is a global not a global?
hi all,
After upgrading a CMS, im having a problem with global variables not
showing up anymore -- configs and things could have changed, but search
as i have, i cannot find anything to help me work out what the problem
is.
This should work of course:
$foo = 'bar';
function foobar() {
global $foo;
print( -- . $foo);
exit;
}
foobar();
It prints *nothing*. Does anyone have an idea as to what might stop this
from functioning as expected?

RE: [PHP] RE: How do I prevent a session from rebuilding itself?
We write enterprise level software probably far surpassing what PHP was ever intended for. However, our GUI is web based (LAMP). so the GUI uses php but the rest doesn't? kind of nullifies the statement aboveif thats the case. Not really. We use DBUS calls to Ruby and C/C++ code. We manipulate networks. TCP/IP. UDP. LDAP. Iptables. Etc. We use RDBMS tricks to transfer data. SOAP. XML. And all sorts of other tactics to work around the limitations of PHP5. But that is all besides the point. We have fail over cluster nodes. If a user is logged into one via a virtual IP, the browser sees it as transparent. When a node fails, it fails over fine (again, the browser still sees the same VIP). But the sess_ file is not on the new node -- by design. We purposely don't copy the /tmp/sess_ files. What we want is, since the session is gone, that $_SESSION['login'] is (in theory) missing/false [although it seems that PHP RAM takes precedence over HD now and this didn't used to be the case] that the user should be re-prompted to login. so the user is prompted to login in again if a cluster node he happened to be talking to fails whats the point of the transparency then? I really don't care if my browsers sees the IP consistently - I'd rather just stay logged in. Because. That's also irrelevent. And for the record. They DO stay logged in. That's the whole problem I'm trying to get around! For various reasons beyond the scope of this discussion (some related to security), We wish for the user to re-authenticate. d -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

The above code is probably being included, and probably being included
by a function and so $foo does not have global scope. To ensure global
scope:
?php
$GLOBALS['foo'] = 'bar';
function foobar()
{
global $foo;
print( -- . $foo );
exit;
}
foobar();
?
Try that and let us know what happend.

RE: [PHP] How do I prevent a session from rebuilding itself?
Sequence of events: script starts you rm -rf /tmp/sess_* script writes out data script ends Exactly WHAT do you think should happen in this case?... I expect this to work like it USED TO WORK! Bug or not. I expect: Script starts Calls session_start(1234) No existing sess_1234 file. Creates a new EMPTY sess_1234 I make $_SESSION['authorized'] = true and PHP writes at that time I rm /tmp/sess_1234 Script ends Page load again. Calls session_start(1234). No existing sess_1234 file. Creates a new EMPTY sess_1234 Therefore $_SESSION['authorized'] doesn't exist == false But what happens is that PHP actually is writing a new sess_1234 WITH ALL THE SHIT IT HAD IN RAM *sigh* Why is this so complicated for anyone to understand? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] What is you IP ?
I want to filter IP addresses. I noticed that my script catches IP addresses that looks like they came from the internal LAN, ie 192.x.x.x and 10.x.x.x My script catched those IPs by $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']. Am I not being able to catch IPs from transparent proxies that a user's ISP might use? Would $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'] be better ? Reasons ?
