If it is sendmail it would be the -f parameter to set the Envelope-From
address. ie... php.ini would have 'sendmail_path = /pathto/sendmail -f
[EMAIL PROTECTED]'. Since PHP 4.0.5 you can also set the
additional_parameter like php.net/manual/function.mail.php (the example
there is specifically for this use.)
What you actually should be doing: install SpamAssasin on your
workstation and run the message through it in test mode... Figure out
what rules get hit and work to resolve those. Run it like `spamassassin
-t message_with_headers`
So, you'd copy your complete message (as you have above) into
message_with_headers and run it through SA. Maybe SA is giving you
points for things like too many exclamations, certain ratio of HTML...
I doubt that having a return-path of 'nobody' is the lowest-hanging
fruit you can pick up here to make yourself look less spammy.
Also make sure the sending mail server isn't listed in any blacklists
(yahoo for RBL lookup tool to check.)

Re: [PHP] Working with overly aggressive anti-spam measures
Travis, Chris, Thank you for your advice. I've installed spamassassin and I'm using it to monitor how well my PHP generated emails rate as spam. So far, I'm not doing well. I have two main issues so far: 1. Spamassassin says: Spam detection software, running on the system homebase, has identified this incoming email as possible spam.

But for testing purposes, I don't really want it to compare against previous emails, since previous test emails would be spammier and bias spamassassin the wrong way. How can I compensate for this? 2. I've attempted to add the Return-Path headers to my headers, like so: $headers = Return-Path: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; $headers .= From: Tokyo Street Hockey Association [EMAIL PROTECTED]\n; $headers .= X-Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; mail($member, $subject, $content, $headers); And yet, when I look at the headers of the email that's being generated, it says: Return-Path: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Received: from server.mywebhost.com (ns1.nameserver.com [123.123.123.123] (may be forged) (Note that I've changed the names of servers and the DNS just to keep some info private) Why are my attempts to set these headers in PHP not taking effect? -- Dave M G Ubuntu 6.06 LTS Kernel 2.6.17.7 Pentium D Dual Core Processor PHP 5, MySQL 5, Apache 2 -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

$headers .= X-Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED];
mail($member, $subject, $content, $headers);
And yet, when I look at the headers of the email that's being generated,
it says:
Return-Path: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Received: from server.mywebhost.com (ns1.nameserver.com
[123.123.123.123] (may be forged)
(Note that I've changed the names of servers and the DNS just to keep
some info private)
Why are my attempts to set these headers in PHP not taking effect?
Because the return path can't be set manually.
You need to set the 5th parameter:
mail($to, $subject, $headers, $body, '[EMAIL PROTECTED]');
or
ini_set('sendmail_from', '[EMAIL PROTECTED]');
mail($to, $subject, $headers, $body);

[PHP] Seperate HTML from PHP
Hi there, following words are my ideas about that HTML PHP parting. I hope you
can understand my broken english and do not take personally.
SEPERATING html FROM php ARE USELESS
For years, some php users try to show php to look like other programming
languages like C or JAVA. I believe they try to prove PHP can act like other
programming languages because most professionals from other disciplines
thinks that thing PHP was so easy to write to someting and because of this
that PHP thing can't be a professional tool.
To show professionalisim of php, people start to make programs using 3 tier
programming aproach. Then that MAGIC WORD seperating business layer from
presentation layer comes to php land...
After some time community sees templating engines, today you will see lots of
them oh sorry TONS of them...
I'm sorry guys, I admire your efforts, REALLY.
Personally I spend more than 2 years to create some kind of OO library to
making forms easly. And after some time I realize, we cannot standardize
HTML/Javascirpt, every new project we have to challange to new interface
problems and because of this I have to redesign that templating library to
not broke code integritiy. Of course I may use that common library's to solve
problems and of course later or sooner I find myself into a deep trouble.
That new project can't fit that lib.
And of course that was not only problem about templating engines.
They are slow, hell yes SLOW. (yea yea I know your uber template system
blazingly faster than more popular ones). You have to open tons of mini tpl
files, have to parse them, have to manage them.
So if that templating system generates this much of problem why we should use
them ? Just Because of our uber HTML designer can't understand php ?.
I'm sorry, things are changing, nearly all new project are contains dynamic
parts. These visual designers have to learn some degree of php code.
And also I believe we have to change aproaching and usage of php language.
I see most people using php dynamic part of their html code. They using php
like
a href=somepage.php?a=?php echo $foo; ??php echo $bar; ?/a
And I suggest we can aproaching html marking language to part of php
presentation layer.
Like
?php
...
generate $head
generate $header
generate $left
generate $content
generate $right
generate $footer
...
include('theme.inc.php')
print $strOutput;
?
theme.inc.php
?php
$strOutput=!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN\
\http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd\;
html xmlns=\http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml\; lang=\en\
head
.$head.
/head
body
div id='mainDiv' class='cMainDiv'
div id='headDiv' class='cHeadDiv'
.$header.
/div
div id='contDiv' class='cContDiv'
table border='0' cellpadding='0'
cellspacing='1' width='100%'
tr
td id='contLeftTD'
class='cContLeftTD' valign='top'
.$left.
/td
td id='contCentTD'
class='cContCentTD' valign='top'
.$content.
/td
td id='contRightTD'
class='cContRightTD' valign='top'
.$right.
/td
/tr
/table
/div
div id='footDiv' class='cFootDiv'
.$footer.
/div
/div
/body
/html;
?
Also we can use php to generate some kind of html code to reduce our workload,
I believe best aproach was, do not generate data and html code in same
function...
Seperating html generation and data generation best way to increase code
reuse.
For example
function makeSelects($arrData,$strRequest)
{
$intSize = sizeof($arrData);
for($intS=0;$intS$intSize;$intS++)
{
@$strReturn.=option value='.$arrData[$intS]['val'].';
if(@$strRequest == $arrData[$intS]['val']) { $strReturn.=
selected; }
$strReturn.= .$arrData[$intS]['tex']./option\n;
}
return $strReturn;
}
with this function we can generate select options.
$sqlGetType =
SELECT typeId,typeName
FROM listType
WHERE typeStatus = 'active'
ORDER BY typeName ASC;
$resGetType = doSql($sqlGetType); // put your sql extraction function here
$intT = 0;
while(!$resGetType-EOF)
{
$arrType[$intT]['val'] =

[PHP] Passing JAVASCRIPT variable to PHP Script...
Hi geeks,
i am uploading a file to server. Uploading part is working fine. i
am struggle with minor part. actually before uploading file, i am checking
for existance of a file. If it is not exists, directly i am uploading that
file. If it exists, i sud ask user that This file is exits. Do You really
want to Upload it?...If YES, i will overwrite it. otherwise, i won't do
anything.
i am using javascript for popup windows. i used confirm()
function(CANCEL / OK).
the problem is, i am not able to get the variable value for php
script. Of course, php is server side programming language javascript
client side programming language.
Plz see my code give the solution.
See my progress:
upload.php
# Checking for the File existance
if (file_exists($fullPath)) {
echo script language='JavaScript'if(confirm('This
file is already Exists ! Do You Want to Duplicate ?')) { var s=1;} else {var
s=0;} /script;
$decide=script
language='JavaScript'document.write(s)/script;
echo $decide;
if (!$decide) {
// Don't Upload
exit;
}
else {
// Upload the file
}
In this code, echo $decide; is printing whether 1 or 0. But by using that
variable, i cudn't proceed further. Bcoz it is not useful for manipulating.
* Is anyway to store that variable value in a static file, so that, i can
proceed easily.
* Is it possible to execute shell commands by javascript, so that i can
create file store this variable.
If it is not possible, plz give any other solution.
Expecting ur reply.
Thanks in advance
Prabhakaran.

This is my ideas:
If the file has already existed, the server-side script could save it in
a place temporarily, and marks the file by an unique identification
(such as md5 checksum). And then the the server-side tells the
client-side file exists and gives it the id. If the user choose
overwrite, the client-side only need to post the received id, do not
need to upload the file again.

After some time community sees templating engines, today you will see lots
of
them oh sorry TONS of them...
I'm sorry guys, I admire your efforts, REALLY.
Personally I spend more than 2 years to create some kind of OO library to
making forms easly. And after some time I realize, we cannot standardize
HTML/Javascirpt, every new project we have to challange to new interface
problems and because of this I have to redesign that templating library to
not broke code integritiy. Of course I may use that common library's to
solve
problems and of course later or sooner I find myself into a deep trouble.
That new project can't fit that lib.
And of course that was not only problem about templating engines.
They are slow, hell yes SLOW. (yea yea I know your uber template system
blazingly faster than more popular ones). You have to open tons of mini tpl
files, have to parse them, have to manage them.
So if that templating system generates this much of problem why we should
use
them ? Just Because of our uber HTML designer can't understand php ?.
I'm sorry, things are changing, nearly all new project are contains dynamic
parts. These visual designers have to learn some degree of php code.
And also I believe we have to change aproaching and usage of php language.
I see most people using php dynamic part of their html code. They using php
like
a href=somepage.php?a=?php echo $foo; ??php echo $bar; ?/a
And I suggest we can aproaching html marking language to part of php
presentation layer.
Like
?php
...
generate $head
generate $header
generate $left
generate $content
generate $right
generate $footer
...
include('theme.inc.php')
print $strOutput;
?
theme.inc.php
?php
$strOutput=!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN\
\http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd\;
html xmlns=\http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml\; lang=\en\
head
.$head.
/head
body
div id='mainDiv' class='cMainDiv'
div id='headDiv' class='cHeadDiv'
.$header.
/div
div id='contDiv' class='cContDiv'
table border='0' cellpadding='0'
cellspacing='1' width='100%'
tr
td id='contLeftTD'
class='cContLeftTD' valign='top'
.$left.
/td
td id='contCentTD'
class='cContCentTD' valign='top'
.$content.
/td
td id='contRightTD'
class='cContRightTD' valign='top'
.$right.
/td
/tr
/table
/div
div id='footDiv' class='cFootDiv'
.$footer.
/div
/div
/body
/html;
?
Also we can use php to generate some kind of html code to reduce our
workload,
I believe best aproach was, do not generate data and html code in same
function...
Seperating html generation and data generation best way to increase code
reuse.
For example
function makeSelects($arrData,$strRequest)
{
$intSize = sizeof($arrData);
for($intS=0;$intS$intSize;$intS++)
{
@$strReturn.=option value='.$arrData[$intS]['val'].';
if(@$strRequest == $arrData[$intS]['val']) { $strReturn.=
selected; }
$strReturn.= .$arrData[$intS]['tex']./option\n;
}
return $strReturn;
}
with this function we can generate select options.
$sqlGetType =
SELECT typeId,typeName
FROM listType

[PHP] PHP Mailer and SMTP = SPAM?
Hi, I am developing a tell-a-friend application for one of my customers. We are going to have it all located on their server, and want to make sure we take the right decisions on the road so that we don't spam mark our server and don't end up in the SPAM inbox of the recipients. This is how I have prepared it all: 1. We have setup an email that do have an inbox and is REAL. We have an mailbox connected to it and can send and read emails from it via webmail and pop 2. We have an SMTP server that requires authentication 3. We are going to use PHP Mailer Using PHP Mailer and the SMTP sending function should make the emails look pretty real, am I right? On that we make sure that the HTML that we create is good, check that with http://spamcheck.sitesell.com http://spamcheck.sitesell.com/ or similar. Shouldn't I be pretty good to go? We are not talking about millions of emails per day here, maybe a few thousands. What are the risks of ending up being a spam marked ip?

When i run it in my local machine, it works fine but, when it is on the server i got some errors. I was using ftp_put to copy such files from upload_temp folder of php to my system own folder and it does not work, i thought it could be because the ftp user has no permission in upload_temp folder of php. Most likely. ftp users are usually locked in to their own home folders and can't access any other parts of the system. It's simply a security thing. I agree. Then i tried to use php_chmod to give permissions for the apache user, move_uploaded_files to move such file and ftp_chmod agais to remove permissions. It does not work too, i think it is because the server has safe_mode on. chmod will be affected by safe mode (please read the documentation): When safe mode is enabled, PHP checks whether the files or directories you are about to operate on have the same UID (owner) as the script that is being executed. In addition, you cannot set the SUID, SGID and sticky bits. It means that the UID (owner) of the folder ought to be the apache user or the ftp user? move_uploaded_file will always fail because the file isn't uploaded through a form. The documentation makes this rather clear (see also is_uploaded_file).

Do You really want to Upload it?...If YES, i will overwrite it. otherwise, i won't do anything. i am using javascript for popup windows. i used confirm() function(CANCEL / OK). the problem is, i am not able to get the variable value for php script. Of course, php is server side programming language javascript client side programming language. Plz see my code give the solution. You hit the nail right on the head, javascript is client side, PHP is server side. This means that PHP completely finishes it's execution before the javascript starts to run. To get this to work you need to do most of the work in the javascript. Prompt the user for the file and the filename. In javascript send a request to the PHP server and pass the filename as a GET or POST variable. The PHP script that recieves this checks if the file exists and echos true of false for the javascript to recieve, the PHP script then exists. The javascript recieves this value and prompts the user to confirm if the file exists. The javascript can then handle the false value or make an upload request if the file is to be sent.

Re: [PHP] ereg_replace with user defined function?
# [EMAIL PROTECTED] / 2006-10-09 22:01:34 +0200:
Thank you Ilaria and Roman for your input. I did not know that preg
is able to deal with PCRE patterns.
preg is obviously short for Perl REGular expressions, while
PCRE positively means Perl-Compatible Regular Expressions.
The regexp syntax from Perl is a superset of POSIX extended
regexps, so anything ereg_ function accept will be good for
preg_ as well (but beware of pattern delimiters).
As a matter of fact I came up
with the following solution (if someone is interested):
What problem does it solve? I mean, why are you trying to avoid
preg_replace_callback() in the first place?
the function takes a text and an array with converters like:
$converters[] = array ( metric = mm, imperial = in,
ratio = 0.039370079, round = 1 );
$converters[] = array ( metric = m, imperial = ft, ratio
= 3.280839895, round = 1 );
function convertTextString ( $text, $convertTable )
{
# this function takes a text string, searches for numbers to
convert, convert those numbers and returns
# the complete text again.
if ( !ereg ( [[:digit:]], $text ) ) // if the text does not
contain any numbers, return the text as it is
{
return $text;
}
foreach ( $convertTable as $convertKey = $convertUnit )
{
$pattern =
((\d{1,10}[,|.]*\d{0,10})*(\s)(%s)([$|\s|.|,|\)|/]+| $)); //
this regex
looks for a number followed by white space, followed by the metric unit,
followed by a closing character like ., , or )
$pattern = sprintf ( $pattern, $convertUnit['metric'] );
while ( preg_match ( $pattern, $text, $matches ) )
{
$matches[1] = str_replace ( ,, ., $matches[1] );
// in case numbers are written like 6,6 m, we need
to replace , with
.
// because we do not want to return 0, we have to
make shure that the new value is not zero.
$itterator = 0;
do {
$value = round ( ( $matches[1] *
$convertUnit['ratio'] ), $convertUnit['round']
+ $itterator );
++$itterator;
} while ( $value == 0 || $itterator == 10 );
$replacement = $value . $2 .
$convertUnit['imperial'] . $4;
$text = preg_replace ( $pattern, $replacement,
$text, 1 );
}
}
return $text;

More precisely, the browser WILL cache it, but you send the browser a new URL every time, so it renders the cached item useless. Maybe if the browser-makers actually honored the no-cache headers they keep making up out of thin air, I would feel bad about wasting their cache like this. But they don't, so I don't.

[PHP] php and mysql date mapping question
Hi all, I am in the process of creating a national events directory where people can enter their events (car boot sales, evening classes etc) and specify whether those events are one-ff events or repeating (daily, weekly etc) affairs and people can search for those events by postcode, date range, category etc. I have a table containing all dates between Oct 1 2006 and 2030, including leap years etc. I am pretty new to relational design so here's my question: I have an events table and a dates table. As an event can happen on many dates and a date can hold many events, I created an intermediary table called dates_events to express that many-to-many relationship. The data entry works like a dream as does the search. However, the dates_events table is growing quite large (200,000 mapped relationships for 300+ test events), but the logic I used seemed clear. When the system goes live, allowing for a sweeper script that removes outdated mappings from all three tables, I estimate that this mapping table may grow to 2-3 million records at least. Does this sound flawed, and will mysql handle this kind of data volume? Anyone have any experience building a similar system. I am happy to use this method for the initial test run but may re-engineer it before we go national if suggestions lead me that way. I am unable to release the URL as yet. -- http://www.web-buddha.co.uk

I have a setting which has a 'setting_id' of 4, a 'setting_name' called banner_on and a 'setting_value' of 1. How am i able to pull that information from the results i get?

So, after you take out the $dir and there is NO PHP in it, the problem
clearly has nothing to do with PHP.
It has everything to do with you don't know what the URL is to get to
the page you want.
Can you surf directly to the index.htm or readme.htm page?
If so, copy/paste the URL, with the http:// and everything, into your
HTML. That will work.
You can then experiment with stripping out parts of the URL, to see
what else *might* work.

Hi geeks,
Hi, non-listener...
You do realize you posted much the same question yesterday, right?

Actually, it will change.
I have GIVEN UP trying to tell you the RIGHT WAY to do this, and will
blindly answer your question giving you BAD ADVICE.
The remainder of this email is BAD ADVICE and I do not recommend
anybody other than Captain follow it.
You have been warned.
i am uploading a file to server. Uploading part is working
fine. i
am struggle with minor part. actually before uploading file, i am
checking
for existance of a file.
Here are 2 ways to do this:
1. In the PHP script that dumps out the INPUT NAME=upload
TYPE=FILE add something like this:
script language=javascript
var file_exists = new Array;
?php
$i = 0;
$upload_dir = /full/path/to/dir/where/you/store/uploads/;
$dir = opendir($upload_dir) or die(Failed to open $upload_dir);
while (($file = readdir($dir)) !== false){ //this is subtle, do not
simplify
echo file_exists[, $i++, ] = '$file';\n;
}
?
/script
You can then check in javascript with something like:
if (file_exists[document.upload.value].length){
alert('Overwrite?');
}
Another option is to use AJAX in your JS to check back to a URL on the
server that lists all the files already used.
Note that NEITHER of these guarantees that the file won't exist
because some OTHER user uploaded the same name file while yours was
being uploaded.
If it is not exists, directly i am uploading
that
file. If it exists, i sud ask user that This file is exits. Do You
really
want to Upload it?...If YES, i will overwrite it. otherwise, i won't
do
anything.
i am using javascript for popup windows. i used confirm()
function(CANCEL / OK).
the problem is, i am not able to get the variable value for
php
script. Of course, php is server side programming language
javascript
client side programming language.
You say Of course so blithely, but clearly do not yet understand the
implications of that statement.

Get the problem users to send you valid email that gets through,
headers and all, and compare yours to theirs. :-)
Here is the PHP code I currently use (trimmed for clarity):
while ( $member = mysql_fetch_row($mysqlResult) )
{
$subscriber = $member[0];
$email = $member[1];
$subject = Report for . date('l jS F Y');
$mailContent = This is an email to . $subscriber . at . $email
. .;
$fromAddress = [EMAIL PROTECTED]
mail($email, $subject, $mailContent, $fromAddress);
$fromAddress, by itself, is not a valid header line. That right there
is going to choke many mail agents, before they even try to look at it
for spam content.
$headers = From: $fromAddress\r\n;
$headers .= Reply-to: $fromAddress\r\n;
$extra = -f$fromAddress;
mail($email, $subject, $mailContent, $headers, $extra);
$extra requires PHP 5 (4.x?) and that your mail config trusts the
Apache user to forge emails. It may not be possible in your setup.
}
And here is what the headers for an email from that code looks like:
-Account-Key: account5
Hopefully this had an X in the front of it...???
X-UIDL: UID497-1152485402
X-Mozilla-Status: 0001
X-Mozilla-Status2:
Return-path: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
This is set by $extra.
If your server won't let you change it, then there is little you can
do other than re-configure sendmail, switch hosts, and/or turn off
safe_mode -- all of which are outside the purvue of PHP and this list.

RE: [PHP] Re: Understanding persistent connections with oci8
Hello Richard, First let me introduce myself, I'm Jay Bauer and have been supporting the Apache webserver for the last couple of years and have been doing networking support for over 15 years. I want to thank you for explaining why the folks replying to our lab's enquiries don't think the tests are valid. I can appreciate the need of doing fault isolation of a problem so that all possible extraneous causes are eliminated. However, I don't think their specific concerns are valid, as these systems are on internal networks, and very few people access them at all, and only Kiran or I would be accessing the oracle database and that is for our tests. And yes we will get some 50 httpd servers up and running, but once we stop our testing there is little access to the system or none to these connections, and they will stay around for hours or days till one of us decides to do more testing and stops and restarts the Apache server. Now having said all of that, I had no problem implementing the test setup you suggested. If that is what it takes to get everyone on the same page, I'm happy to oblige. The HP-UX Apache web server only provides the worker MPM so in order to set up Apache as requested we use the following configuration in httpd.conf: changed the worker.c configuration to: IfModule worker.c StartServers 1 MaxClients 1 MinSpareThreads 1 MaxSpareThreads 1 ThreadsPerChild 1 MaxRequestsPerChild 1 /IfModule and commented out mod_cgid: #LoadModule cgid_module modules/mod_cgid.so and in php.ini: extension=oci8.sl oci8.max_persistent=1 oci8.persistent_timeout=10 oci8.ping_interval=0 After starting Apache we have two process running: ps -ef |grep apache www 29362 29361 0 23:39:52 ? 0:00 /opt/hpws/apache/bin/httpd -d /opt/hpws/apache -k start root 29361 1 0 23:39:52 ? 0:00 /opt/hpws/apache/bin/httpd -d /opt/hpws/apache -k start Pid 29361, the master httpd server, and one worker httpd server pid 29362, which is the minimum configuration possible with worker MPM. I then ran the apache bench mark for just one connection: bin/ab -n 1 http://maggie.india.hp.com/oracle_mufasa.php Document Path: /oracle_mufasa.php Document Length:334 bytes Concurrency Level: 1 Time taken for tests: 0.370606 seconds Complete requests: 1 And then checked on the connection As quick as possible: netstat -an |grep 1521 tcp0 0 15.42.227.146.5926215.106.72.129.1521 ESTABLISHED 30 sends later: netstat -an |grep 1521 tcp0 0 15.42.227.146.5926215.106.72.129.1521 ESTABLISHED 2 minutes later: netstat -an |grep 1521 tcp0 0 15.42.227.146.5926215.106.72.129.1521 ESTABLISHED 5 minutes later: netstat -an |grep 1521 tcp0 0 15.42.227.146.5926215.106.72.129.1521 ESTABLISHED It wasn't until about 40 minutes later that this connection did finally terminate. And when I checked the error_log, it was clear what terminated it: [error] [client 15.10.45.59] Symbolic link not allowed: /opt/hpws/apache/htdocs/index.html [debug] worker.c(1342): taking over scoreboard slot from 29362 (quiescing) Another request finally came in to this system , which errored, and since there was only one server allowed to run it did and that is what killed this persistent connection. This is what we have also observed that other apache requests will cause this persistent connections to be terminated, they don't close on their own. And as said earlier this system's webserver doesn't get many hits, it is a test environment, not a production system. And as we can see it took 40 minutes for any traffic to hit this system. I hope this test is adequate to clear up the concerns that the testing is invalid.

This is really an SQL question...
But let's take the PHP performance test, to stay on topic.
Yes, you are sending 100 queries to the DB through mysql_query.
Does that negatively impact performance on YOUR server for YOUR web
app at your current or 5-year projected levels of usage?
If not, don't waste time trying to optimize it. K.I.S.S. and use the
queries that work just fine.
As a bonus, the answer to what you actually asked is:
select orders.order_id, order_date, order_status
from orders
left outer join uploaded_files on uploaded_files.order_id =
orders.order_id
order by orders.order_id desc
limit 100
Unfortunately, this limit now applies to the number of uploaded files
and/or orders with no files at all, rather than the number of orders.
AFAIK, there is no easy way to get the exact same limit of 100 orders
with however many uploaded files.
So if you NEED 100 orders, and who cares how many uploaded files, the
solution you have is CORRECT, no matter how wrong it looks.
Actually, you could *maybe* get some performance gain by running
through the first result, gathering up the IDs into an array, and then
splicing that into a single query like:
//outside the loop:
$order_ids_sql = implode(', ', $order_ids);
$result2 = mysql_query(select order_id, file_name from uploaded_files
where order_id in ($order_ids_sql) order by order_id);
You can then run through $result2 in parallel with $result1 and
compare the $order_id to make sure you print the right thing at the
right time.
Don't be surprised if the LEFT OUTER JOIN above, or the parallel
processing and the extra array to build the query with 100 IDs turns
out to be not any faster/better than your current solution. SQL
theory often turns out to be not-so-practical, in my experience.

[PHP] [JOB] PHP Book Tech Reviewer
I'm currently writing the second edition of my PHP Advanced book and need a technical reviewer. It is a paid job and some people think it's interesting/looks good on a resume/etc. Obviously you'll need to be an expert in PHP and pay close attention to detail. My definition of advanced for this book means: - OOP - Doing what you already do but better and faster - Tangential topics (GD, PDFlib, CLI, PEAR, XML, Ajax, MySQL, E- Commerce, other buzzwords). Experience in these areas required. You must be able to work quickly (the entire book must be reviewed over the course of a month, I think).

Re: [PHP] php and mysql date mapping question
Dave Goodchild wrote: Hi all, I am in the process of creating a national events directory where people can enter their events (car boot sales, evening classes etc) and specify whether those events are one-ff events or repeating (daily, weekly etc) affairs and people can search for those events by postcode, date range, category etc. I have a table containing all dates between Oct 1 2006 and 2030, including Dave, if you are starting a calendar/event DB with a table full of dates something is probably wrong. you only need to store dates for actual events (in theory). leap years etc. I am pretty new to relational design so here's my question: I have an events table and a dates table. As an event can happen on many dates and a date can hold many events, I created an intermediary table called dates_events to express that many-to-many relationship. The data entry works like a dream as does the search. However, the dates_events table is growing quite large (200,000 mapped relationships for 300+ test events), but the logic I used seemed clear. When the system goes live, allowing for a sweeper script that removes outdated mappings from all three tables, I estimate that this mapping table may grow to 2-3 million records at least. asuming you tables are correctly indexes and the relations are correctly defined record count is not the limiting factor at all. it does sound like you have one table too many. a one to many relationship between an events table and a dates table should suffice. then again your denormalized design may allow for much faster data retrieval, in which case stick with it :-) only one way to find out though. Does this sound flawed, and will mysql handle this kind of data volume? yup :-) use InnoDB as the storage format and even the 4Gig limit is history. Anyone have any experience building a similar system. I am happy to use this method for the initial test run but may re-engineer it before we go national if suggestions lead me that way.

But don't complain it was tough if you were there to murder other people. Sure, we (humans) are weaklings, and easily fall prey to whatever bullshit any drunkard and/or Hitler-wannabe says if they repeat it long enough, but if those Americans who fought in Vietnam didn't elect the government that sent them there then it was their parents, and grandparents. If you get agitated by a joke referring to the US movie and TV cliche they fed us with for 20 years or so, complain to those Americans who voted for the war.

If I wanted to have a combative signature I'd be using something like How many American soldiers does it take to kick a tied-up POW to death in Guantanamo? or perhaps American cars run on blood of Iraqi people., Operation Enduring Oil or a variant. But it's just a joke. I freely admit you're not the first to bitch about this signature. You're second. I'm surprised that you're only the second guy to whine! Given how much the situation in Iraq reminds the 1968 invasion of Czechoslovakia by the brother armies of several communist countries led by the USSR, how devastated the soldiers were when they realized they weren't the saviors their /politruks/ made them believe... I'm quite surprised the morale is so high. So much for the topic of my signature. It will stay there of course, at least until your country, which BTW recently passed a bill that basically negates the Geneva conventions, attacks my country.

It *might* be slightly faster/better to do:

[PHP] OOP slow -- am I an idiot?
I think perhaps I'm using classes and OOP incorrectly. The last time I used
them, they were slow.
I want to create a customer class which fetches its attributes from a MySQL
database. Something
like this pseudocode:
class customer
{
...
getName ($id)
{
$result = mysql_query (SELECT name FROM customers WHERE id = '$id');
return mysql_result ($result, 0);
}
getRevenue ($id,$department,$month,$year)
{
$result = mysql_query (SELECT revenue FROM customer_revenue WHERE
customer_id = '$id' AND
department = '$department' AND month = '$month' AND year = '$year');
return mysql_result ($result, 0);
}
...
}
(Again, that's just psedocode. Haven't written anything yet.)
That works great for just one revenue result, but what if I want to return
several results? What
if I want to build a report with hundreds of customers' revenues for a month?
For several months?
For an entire year? Doesn't it slow wa down? It seemed to in the past.
The method above
doesn't seem to scale well.
I did something like the above a few years ago. It was slow, and I think it's
because it was
doing this for each single row:
* Instantiate the class
* Perform a query for the name
* Perform a query for the first department
* Perform a query for the next department
* Perform a query for the next department
* Perform a query for the next department
* Perform a query for the next department
* Perform a query for the next department
* Perform a query for the next department
...
* Destroy the instantiation
* Start over
I love using object-oriented programming, but it seems to me that's ALOT of
performance burden
when I could just do something like this:
SELECT customers.name,
customer_revenue.revenue
FROM customers
INNER JOIN customer_revenue
ON customers.id = customer_revenue.customer_id
WHERE customer_revenue.department = '$department'
ANDcustomer_revenue.month = '$month'
ANDcustomer_revenue.year = '$year'
(PHP loop to display all results)
That seems like it would perform 20x faster.
It seems that the SQL economies of scale (ability to rapidly slurp large sets
of data) are
completely bypassed when using OOP to view ALOT of objects together on one
screen. It seems if I
want decent performance I would have to ignore OOP rules of method hiding and
access the data
directly when using anything more than just a few objects on one page.
A workaround -- I thought that perhaps I could fetch ALL of the data for a
customer into memory
upon initial instantiation, wherein I perform something like this:
SELECT *
FROM customers
INNER JOIN customer_revenue
ON customers.id = customer_revenue.customer_id
WHERE customers.id = '$id'
And then use the results from memory as-needed. It would be all data for a
customer from all
years across all departments.
That might perform better but it'd suck ALOT of data into memory, and what if I
add more than just
revenue to my customer class? Each customer could potentially represent a
limitless set of data.
So this doesn't seem like an optimal solution.
* Where am I going wrong?
* Tell me how YOU fetch data from multiple objects to generate reports.
* Is this an instance where it's better to just ignore OOP rules and go
straight to the data?
Whew, that's not fun to think about, particularly if my queries ever get to be
more complex.
Feedback, please. The goal is to maintain complex queries in just one place --
inside a class. I
want my data to _only_ be accessed from the black box called an OOP class.

The examples you provided shows that it's not OOP that's the problem,
it's how your getting the data as you suspected.
Doing tons of queries is going to be slow whether you're using OOP or
functional programming.
Depending on your app, you could pass in arrays of data:
getRevenue($customer_id, $departments=array(), $years_to_fetch=array()) {
... sanitize $departments and $years_to_fetch
$query = SELECT revenue FROM customer_revenue WHERE customer_id =
'$customer_id' AND department IN ( . $departments . ) AND year IN ( .
$years_to_fetch . );
}
Because php is loosely typed you can take advantage of that.
Only want to pass in one department? Change it to be an array and go
from there:
if (!is_array($departments)) {
$departments = array($departments);
}
Depends a lot on the situation as well. If it's for a report that's
going to be run once a year, a few extra queries probably isn't going to
make any difference. Something that gets called every time? Optimize it
as much as possible.
I've used both methods and they both have their merits.
Context is important too :) If I need to create a queue of items to go
through (eg the web interface creates a queue for a cron job to pick up
and process), then I'll do everything straight in the database and
nothing in PHP (well as much as possible anyway) by passing in
everything I need and writing a query to handle it all.
After all that, I probably didn't help much ;)

Re: [PHP] OOP slow -- am I an idiot?
For your rudimentary example of object-relational mapping below, yes,
performance is going to be atrocious. That's because you're not taking any
advantage of the features that using OOP gives you. One could write a
dissertation on this problem, but I will just give you some general
guidelines. (All code examples below assume PHP 5.)
1) OOP has overhead. In most situations, if you can write something in a
fully OOP fashion or a direct procedural fashion, the direct procedural will
perform faster. How much faster depends on the situation and the experience
level of the programmer. What OOP can get you is flexibility. There are
cases where OOP code is faster than the corresponding procedural, but none of
them involve SQL. :-)
2) Burn some memory on private variables. That's what they're there for. Eg:
public class Foo {
private $id=0;
private $bar=0;
private $baz='';
function __construct($id) {
// Do your type checking and escaping here
$result = mysql_query(SELECT * FROM Foo WHERE id={$id});
$record = mysql_fetch_object($result);
$this-id = record-id;
$this-bar = record-bar;
$this-baz = record-baz;
}
function getBaz() {
return $this-baz;
}
}
You'll want to be a lot smarter than the code above to avoid drudge work in
the code, but you get the idea. Front-load as much of the object's
information has you can in the constructor, within reason. A good rule of
thumb is that anything you can get in the initial query (like above) you
should and then cache. That saves you putting wasteful SQL queries in your
getters.
3) Data you have to load later from another table, delay until you need to get
it but then cache that as well.
function getRevenue ($id,$department,$month,$year) {
if (!$this-revenue) {
$result = mysql_query (SELECT revenue FROM customer_revenue WHERE
customer_id = '$id' AND
department = '$department' AND month = '$month' AND year = '$year');
$this-revenue = mysql_result ($result, 0);
}
return $this-revenue;
}
Again, pull extra data if you can. A somewhat larger result set is (usually)
better than multiple queries. How much you want to front-load in your object
and how much you want to defer to later depends on your specific problem and
how frequently the data will be used.
4) You can optimize your SQL structure for easier object usage. Often that
just means proper normalization, sometimes you'll want to denormalize in
specific places to improve performance. Again, depends on your situation.
5) If you need to grab 100 objects at once, but just need basic data out of
them, use a factory. Vis,
$myobjects = Foo::getObjects(array(1, 2, 3));
class Foo {
static function getObjects($ids) {
$return = array();
$result = mysql_query(SELECT * FROM Foo WHERE id IN ( . implode(',',
$ids) . ));
while ($record = mysql_fetch_object($result)) {
$foo = new Foo();
$foo-setProperties($record);
$return[] = clone($foo);
}
return $return;
}
function setProperties($properties) {
// Left as an exercise to the reader
}
}
6) If you need to do a complex query with a couple of joins and such, then
don't waste your time or the computer's trying to shoe-horn it into SQL. SQL
is not inherently OO to start with! Just write your query and loop it and be
happy. OOP is not the answer to all problems. Sometimes it does just make
matters worse, no matter what Sun tries to tell you. :-)
I want my data to _only_ be accessed from the black box called an OOP
class.
That will work and is achievable in about 30% of all situations. For the
other 70%, you will have to just hunker down and *gasp* write SQL specific to
the task at hand at least some of the time. How much of the time once again
depends on your situation and the problem you're trying to solve.

You should look into getting Professional PHP5 by Lecky-Thompson,
Eide-Goodman, Nowicki and Cove from WROX. It's a good introduction to
using PHP5 with design patterns to solve problems similar to yours.
Plus, the knowledge can be applied to other object oriented
programming languages, not just PHP5. It's also been out for a while
so it may be in the sale section already.
The collection class in chapter 5 discusses a programming problem
just like yours.

Re: [PHP] Working with overly aggressive anti-spam measures [SOLVED]
Travis, Richard, Chris, Thank you for your helpful advice. I've managed to set the Return-Path correctly now, and Spamassassin is now only giving me the whitelist error, which I don't think I'm going to get rid of. It took me a little while to realize that the Spamassassin always says that an email is possible scam if it has any score above zero, but it takes a score of 5.0 to actually be deleted as spam. I checked through a bunch of emails in my inbox, and all of them got at least some score, usually between .5 and 1.5, even though they were all legitimate emails. So compared to other emails I'm getting, I'm scoring very low at 0.2. My emails don't use HTML, don't have any common spam key words, and have correct spelling and grammar, so it all helps establish my email's legitimacy. Here is the PHP code I'm using: $fromAddress = [EMAIL PROTECTED]; $fromName = My Name; $headers = From: . $fromName . . $fromAddress . \n; $headers .= Reply-to: . $fromName . . $fromAddress . \n; $extra = -f . $fromAddress; mail($toAddress, $subject, $content, $headers, $extra); Thank you all for your time and expert information. -- Dave M G Ubuntu 6.06 LTS Kernel 2.6.17.7 Pentium D Dual Core Processor PHP 5, MySQL 5, Apache 2 -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] Re: OOP slow -- am I an idiot?
Hello, on 10/10/2006 08:14 PM Chris de Vidal said the following: I think perhaps I'm using classes and OOP incorrectly. The last time I used them, they were slow. Your problem has nothing to do with OOP . It is the number of queries that are making it solow. Creating an object takes microseconds. Executing a query can take seconds. Your greatest problem is that you use a query to retrieve each database table row. If you want to retrieve many or all rows, a single query approach is obviously much more efficient. That is true regardless you use OOP to execute the queries or not. The problem of using a lot of memory has only to do with using MySQL buffered queries. You can also use unbuffered queries like with most other databases but while your whole result set is not retrieved, it may keep your database table locked. Another detail, for retrieving large result sets with data from multiple tables for reports or any other form of read only bulk processing, using ORM (Object-relational mapping) is not very efficient. Retrieving whole data into arrays with a single query is a more adequate solution. On a related subject, you may want to take a look at a Metastorage. This is an ORM class generator tool. For storing and retrieving single table rows into objects, it generates simple ORM classes. But for read only bulk data processing, it can generate what is called report classes. These classes execute compiled SQL queries picking whatever columns and conditions that match your needs and return the data in arrays either all rows at once or a single row at a time. http://www.metastorage.net/ -- Regards, Manuel Lemos Metastorage - Data object relational mapping layer generator http://www.metastorage.net/ PHP Classes - Free ready to use OOP components written in PHP http://www.phpclasses.org/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Stored procs and transactions using Linux/PHP and Windows/MSSQL
Rick Emery wrote: Is anyone using PHP5 on Linux to connect to MS SQL Server 2000 on Windows and execute stored procedures with output parameters within a transaction? If so, how? I'm trying to do something like this in the PHP application: begin transaction execute a stored procedure, receiving an identity back if certain conditions are met execute another stored procedure, getting an identity if certain other conditions are met execute another stored procedure, getting an identity if any of the above procedures fail rollback transaction else commit transaction Can you do this in mssql (ie take php out of the picture) ? That is - if you execute a procedure, can you get the identity back?

[PHP] moving to other web server
hi to all, we are moving our web server from one to other hosting company. we have chance to request what version of php i want to be installed, 4 or 5. Current web server works on php 4.3.4 we don't use any classes, functions only. as far as I know, in our case moving from 4 to 5 shouldn't be any problem, no concerns. but, anyway, where can I expect errors - except in oop? thanks for any help. -afan -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
