[PHP] who is online?
i have built a function to tell me how many users are on my site at any given
time...
?
//define function
function bc_who ($who, $location) {
//first we erase any expired entries
//entries will expire after 5 mins
$whoTime = time();
$whoTime = $whoTime - 300;
mysql_query(Delete FROM bc_who where expire $whoTime) or
die(mysql_error());
//here we difine the variables needed to preform the check
$whoExpire = time();
$whoIp = $_SERVER[REMOTE_ADDR];
//this will be changed as soon as user registration is finished
$whoUser= Guest;
//do the actual mysql queries
mysql_query(Delete FROM bc_who where '$whoIp' = ip);
mysql_query(Insert INTO bc_who (id, user, ip, location, expire, status)
VALUES (NULL, '$whoUser', '$whoIp', '$location', '$whoExpire', '$whoStatus'));
}
//end who is function
?
this fuction works fine, however, i want to know if what i am about to ask is
possible.
the problem i have is, this function assumes that after five minutes if the
user has not refreshed the page, or gone onto another page the user must be
gone. in reality, i have pages users might be on for an hour or so without
refreshing. i want my whos online to as acurate as possible so is there a way
to do this on the fly? like, forgetting about the expire time and using a
server side peice of code to communicate to the database, when there is no more
communication the entry is deleted? please tell me there is a way, thank you in
advance.
[PHP] XPath question
Hi,
ns:root i=0
tag
ns:node i=1/
/tag
ns:anothernode i=2
ns:notme i=3
ns:meneither i=4/
/ns:notme
anothertag/
/ns:anothernode
/ns:root
I need to retrieve a list of all the INNER ns:* nodes (not the root
i=0 node), that do not have an ancestor of any ns:* node but the root
ns:root i=0 node.
In other words: get all ns:* nodes with i in {1,2}.
-thanks!

Assuming you actually mean client side not server side (because
server-side is what you already have), you could do this in a number of
ways with Javascript. You could periodically call the server using
XmlHttpRequest, or you could keep it simple and reload an image which
points at a PHP script. Either way this is not a question for a PHP list
because it relates to client-side code. Google will almost certainly
have several useful sites.

[PHP] Encoding problem

It can't, and this should be fairly obvious. If the client-side makes no
contact with the server for a period of time, how do you expect it to
know that the user hasn't moved to another page?
The bottom line is that this needs some client-side code to work,
whether it be Javascript or just an iframe with a meta refresh tag.

What's wrong?
Character set issues can be very complex, but I'm going to take a guess
If you're outputting something that is actually UTF-8, you'll need to
make sure that you've done these:
header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8');
I believe that IE6 requires this one as well within your html head.
meta http-equiv=Content-Type content=text/html; charset=utf-8 /
If that doesn't work, then it could be that your character isn't
actually UTF-8 encoded.

status) VALUES (NULL, '$whoUser', '$whoIp', '$location',
'$whoExpire', '$whoStatus'));
}
//end who is function
?
this fuction works fine, however, i want to know if what i am about
to ask is possible.
the problem i have is, this function assumes that after five minutes
if the user has not refreshed the page, or gone onto another page the
user must be gone. in reality, i have pages users might be on for an
hour or so without refreshing. i want my whos online to as acurate as
possible so is there a way to do this on the fly? like, forgetting
about the expire time and using a server side peice of code to
communicate to the database, when there is no more communication the
entry is deleted? please tell me there is a way, thank you in
advance.
Assuming you actually mean client side not server side (because
server-side is what you already have), you could do this in a number
of ways with Javascript. You could periodically call the server using
XmlHttpRequest, or you could keep it simple and reload an image which
points at a PHP script. Either way this is not a question for a PHP
list because it relates to client-side code. Google will almost
certainly have several useful sites.

Re: [PHP] Sending secure mail
# [EMAIL PROTECTED] / 2007-02-05 00:22:57 +: I need to send a large number of emails (not spam!) through an external SMTP server that requires TLS and a username/password. I have some control over the SMTP server but very little over the web server where the scripts reside. How do I connect with TLS, authenticate and send the mail? I had problems with mail() originally (one of the reasons why we now have a dedicated mail server) and I had to connect to the SMTP server by hand with sockets and go through the SMTP steps by hand. I can connect to the new server with following code. $sock = fsockopen( 'smtp.eg.com', 25, $errNo, $errStr ); However, when I send the rcpt to: line, I'm told I don't have access to the relay - i.e. I need to log in. This is where my knowledge of SMTP reaches it's limit but I've read about the auth login command, however, it says it needs to be run over an encrypted connection, i.e. TLS. I can't disable this on the server, other services need TLS to be on the SMTP server.

Me get any money for this? No money you get! Tingly feeling of goodwill spread throughout you it will. Unfortunately, publishing book reviews is not the kind of thing that is worth the time it took me to develop the review system. That was true in the year 2000 and it is still true until today. Anyway, since the system is already done, hopefully it will help all book writers that are brave enough to invest plenty of time writing good PHP books. Often writing books is also not worth the effort. Many authors that try it, only write one book and then give up because the books do not sell enough and they realize they can make more doing something else like consulting. At least maybe the reviews can benefit the authors either helping the books sell more or getting them better known in the community and the consulting business. When that happens, I will be satisfied and feel compensated for all the time I invested in developing the review system. -- 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

[PHP] Calculate string width using some font.
Hey list! :)
I've got a problem trying to calculate a string width using an X font
with some Y font size to use in an svg-to-pdf conversion.
This is what I try to do:
1. Create a dummy image.
2. Set the text there using font X and the font size Y (it seems that
when I create the image it renders it at 72dpi so I need to reduce it at
300dpi)
I'm not sure what the imagettftext() function returns, are those values
measured in pixels ? I read in some page that the proportion to reduce
the image at 300dpi is reduce the size to 24% of its original size.
http://www.printingforless.com/resolution.html
That's the code:
***
// Create dummy image.
$rsc_image = imagecreate( 1, 1 );
// Set image.
$arr_ftx = imagettftext( $rsc_image, $int_font_size, 0, 0, 0, -1,
./fonts/{$str_font_file}, $str_variable_value );
// Destroy dummy image.
imagedestroy( $rsc_image );
// Set structure of widths.
// TODO: Magik numbers.
$arr_variable_pixels[$str_variable_index] = ( ( $arr_ftx[2] * 24 ) / 100 );
***

[PHP] Converting string representation of a directory to multi-dimensional array
Over the weekend, I was tasked with taking a string representation of a
directory ('\Interface\Addons\some dir\some file'), which can vary in
length (no set number of depths) to a multi-dimensional array (i.e.
array('Interface' = array('Addons' = array('some dir' = somefile)));).
We came up with a very ugly hack to do it, but I'm curious if anyone can help
us wrap our head around a better solution, without using eval (which we were
able to find that solution quickly, but do not want to use eval).
Our situation is a little unique in the fact that these files don't actually
exist on a filesystem, so it makes it a bit more tough to actually create this
array.
Thanks for any help you can give in cleaning this up somewhat.
Here is the function we currently use:
?php
$array = array();
addToList('\interface\addons\clearfont\clearfont.toc2', $array);
addToList('\interface\addons\clearfont\clearfont.toc3', $array);
addToList('\interface\addons\clearfont\clearfont.toc4', $array);
addToList('\interface\addons\clearfont\clearfont.toc5', $array);
addToList('\interface\addons\clearfont\subdir\something.toc', $array);
function addToList($str, $array)
{
$things = explode('\\', $str);
if($things['0'] == '')
{
array_shift($things);
}
addToArray($things, $array);
}
function addToArray($things, $array)
{
$count = count($things);
switch ($count)
{
case '1':
$array[$things['0']] = $array();
break;
case '2':
$array[$things['0']][$things['1']] = $things['1'];
break;
case '3':
$array[$things['0']][$things['1']][$things['2']] = $things['2'];
break;
case '4':
$array[$things['0']][$things['1']][$things['2']][$things['3']] =
$things['3'];
break;
previous code repeated down to 10
default:
break;
}
}
print_r($array);
?

We came up with a very ugly hack to do it, but I'm curious if anyone can help
us wrap our head around a better solution, without using eval (which we were
able to find that solution quickly, but do not want to use eval).
Our situation is a little unique in the fact that these files don't actually
exist on a filesystem, so it makes it a bit more tough to actually create
this array.
Thanks for any help you can give in cleaning this up somewhat.
Here is the function we currently use:
based on an answer to an old post ... below shows how to
uses references to walk 'into' an array and set/create multilevel
elements - given a bit of thought you should be able to figure out
how to apply the concept to your own problem:

$ref = null;
$keys = array(six,five,four,three,two,one);
$val = string value; // the node value
$arr = array(); // generated array
$ref = $arr;
while ($key = array_pop($keys)) {
$ref[$key] = array();
$ref = $ref[$key];

$ref = $val;

Re: [PHP] Server Stall
If you have cURL installed, you could use Curl to get the file, and manipulate
the contents that way.
Here is the standard function I use for grabbing a remote page.
function doRequest($method, $url, $vars = '', $headers = '0') {
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, $headers);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 30);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, 'cookie.txt');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, 'cookie.txt');
if ($method == 'POST') {
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $vars);
}
$data = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
if ($data) {
return $data;
}
else {
return curl_error($ch);
}
}
called with
doRequest('GET', 'url');
$vars would be either a string or an array of post variables, and headers
either shows or hides headers from the webserver. CURLOPT_TIMEOUT is set to
30, but you can change that to how many seconds you'd like to wait.

Hi,
One of my scripts are using wget to get external xml data
$fp = popen (wget -O - '.$dst.' | cat,r);
Some time $dst host responds very slowly. And that time if I open another
connection to same server the second request waits to complete wget
operation.
I'm very noobie about this file operations. Is there any suggestion about this
situation ?

Re: [PHP] _GET('name') truncates
I'll let everyone else do the why the hell are you doing this? security blah blah! bad practice blah blah! type stuff.. I'm sure there will be plenty. One reason this may be happening is, depending on your browser, there's a limit to the number of characters you can have in a URL. That seems to be cutting off around 900 characters. That's a lot to put into a URL. If you're really intent on setting up a PHP powered web page to test SQL statements, I might recommend using a web form either using input type=text or textarea form elements and a POST method instead of GET. If you don't have control over the server but do everything remotely, you might consider seeing if there's a phpMyAdmin set up with your hosting service that you can use for database management/queries/etc. If it's a localish database, you can still use phpMyAdmin, but might also have the option of setting up an ODBC connection and using a program like WinSQL or Navicat to connect and do queries and maintenance.

Yes, actually that is done first, the getimagesize is used it the script
to test it as an image. This was written by someone else and worked
prior to moving servers. This is a more complete snippet of the code:
if (is_uploaded_file($_FILES['filPhoto']['tmp_name'])) {
// use getimagesize to make sure it's an image file
if (!getimagesize($_FILES['filPhoto']['tmp_name'])) {
die('The file you are attempting to upload is not an image
file.');
snip
also check it's not a permissions issue (i.e. the file is being created but the
webserver cannot subsequently read the file)
The /tmp directory where it is created is set with 777 perms. I have not
checked the destination, but the script does not appear to get back the
above point, giving us the die response.

The file always goes away when the script finishes. See:
http://php.net/move_uploaded_file
if (!getimagesize($_FILES['filPhoto']['tmp_name'])) {
die('The file you are attempting to upload is not an image file.');
Try various things like file_exists on the file to see if you are
getting the file at all.
fopen/fread the first N bytes and compare them to what you are
uploading, to see if the data that gets there is the data you sent.
getimagesize() only reads the first N bytes and then interprets that
to decide what kind of file it is, and how big the width/height are,
etc.
I dunno exactly what N is, but it's relatively small.
Different file formats have different size N, and PHP has to figure
out what to do for all of them, so maybe it just reads the largest N,
or maybe it reads a few bytes and then decides how many to read for
the rest of the meta-info.
At any rate, if you can fread a couple hundred bytes, and it matches
what you uploaded, then you know that something is wrong with the
original image and getimagesize() -- You could FTP it up just like
your logo or buttons, and use getimagesize() on it, and it STILL
wouldn't work.
Actually, that's another good test to run: FTP the file up to your
images directory and see what getimagesize does on that.

Re: [PHP] _GET('name') truncates
GET args can be truncated at some number, if the server does not want to allow longer args. I believe the minimum compliant limit is 1024 bytes.

I believe those are in raw pixels, yes.
I read in some page that the proportion to reduce
the image at 300dpi is reduce the size to 24% of its original size.
You'd want to make it 300/72 times as large as you would think?
Only I obviously didn't do that, so I dunno...
http://www.printingforless.com/resolution.html
That's the code:
***
// Create dummy image.
$rsc_image = imagecreate( 1, 1 );
// Set image.
$arr_ftx = imagettftext( $rsc_image, $int_font_size, 0, 0, 0, -1,
./fonts/{$str_font_file}, $str_variable_value );
// Destroy dummy image.
imagedestroy( $rsc_image );
// Set structure of widths.
// TODO: Magik numbers.
$arr_variable_pixels[$str_variable_index] = ( ( $arr_ftx[2] * 24 ) /
100 );
I think you've got the percentage backwards here, as it's 24% to go
from 300 to 72... You want to force a 72 DPI thing to end up being
scalable down by 24% to end up at 300.

This is true, but ultimately, if you want the dang thing to print out at 300 DPI, then you want enough pixels to make that look pretty, and you want to multiply everything by the right number to get that many pixels so when it doesn't print, it doesn't suck. -- Some people have a gift link here.

[PHP] Writting a simple proxy in PHP
I would like to forward on the server side (also called proxy or server-side redirect) some queries that get to my PHP script. A naive approach is to do: print(implode(, file(http://localhost:8090; . $REQUEST_URI))); Where http://localhost:8090 is the address I want to proxy to. But of course, this only works for simple GET requests. It does not forward headers (like Authentication), and won't work if the request is a POST. Has anyone a suggestion on how I could implement a better proxy? I am not looking for a perfect solution. Something that would forward headers and handle posts would be good enough.

Later, it was only expensive if your client was doing something whack like dynamically including hundreds of file snippets. (Don't ask.) These days, I would hazard a guess that it's as optimized as it can be, really, but you'd have to test and read source to be sure. Note that in all cases, the performance issue kicked in when you were including LOTS of different files, as the search space for what was already included grew. -- Some people have a gift link here.

Re: [PHP] who is online?
If you use http://php.net/session_start, I guess you could declare
that your session timeout *IS* the definition of current users...
But, really, even at 5 minutes, you may be counting a lot of people
who have LEFT your site.
There is no real number for this.
Do whatever you want.

this fuction works fine, however, i want to know if what i am about to

the problem i have is, this function assumes that after five minutes
if the user has not refreshed the page, or gone onto another page the
user must be gone. in reality, i have pages users might be on for an
hour or so without refreshing. i want my whos online to as acurate as
possible so is there a way to do this on the fly? like, forgetting
about the expire time and using a server side peice of code to
communicate to the database, when there is no more communication the
entry is deleted? please tell me there is a way, thank you in advance.

Re: [PHP] PHP book reviewers wanted

If writing the book isn't going to get you paying gigs because you're the expert having written the book, then you're almost for sure going to be getting paid less than minimum wage if you account the hours correctly, as I understand it. Right. Most author write books because they love what they write about. I know very few people that wrote more than one PHP book. Dedicating time writing books is a big sacrifice. It is not the most efficient way to make a living. Anyway, keep in mind that a US minimum wage is a reasonable amount of money for people in other countries. Writing books is not such a bad money if they get published by an US or European publisher. The whole PHP community that buy their books should be thankful because some writers work very hard to make a living. Some authors of books that I reviewed in the PHPClasses site have written me asking if I could review their new books. If that encourages them to keep writing good books, I am pleased to help them. Unfortunately I do not have the time to review all books that I am asked to review. That is why I am encouraging other people with more time than me to work on it. I can state for certain that being a Tech Reviewer is even worse pay and little odds of it making you any money, really. Though it is a nifty bullet point and gives you something to talk about in a job interview, where it can maybe pay off. Right. Anyway, I am not talking about being Tech Reviewer of books that were not yet published. I am talking about published books, so there is not even a money compensation for people that publish reviews in the PHPClasses site. The only compensation is that reviewers will keep the review copies for themselves. -- 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

After all everybody is free to go anywhere you want or not, with or without ads. Anyway, since you brought that up, I would like to clarify that this is often misunderstood issue. Nobody likes ads, including myself. Ads are obviously necessary to keep the site viable. Otherwise it would have been closed a long time ago. Anyway, for those very intolerant to ads, at least there is an option in the user options page that the can check to disable pop under and interstitial ads. This was never a secret, but I am not encouraging anybody to use that option either. The site needs the ad revenue generated by all the advertisiment. That option does not disable all ads, but at least disables probably the most annoying. For those that would like to see no ads at all and benefit from full site loading speed, after almost 5 years of promises, in the next months I will finally launch the package of premium services that among several other interesting benefits, it will provide an ad free site navigation, for a small monthly fee. I know that only those that real care about the site will adhere. But at least there will finally be an option for all those that avoid visiting the site because of the ads. -- 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
