[PHP] MySQL connector installation/upgrade problems

[David Zentgraf]

Hi,

I'm trying to upgrade a server running CentOS 3 to an up-to-date  
MySQL 5 installation + PHP4. I installed the MySQL 5 package, server  
and client, via RPMs and they work fine, the client tells me it's  
version 5.0.45. I went on to recompile PHP 4.4.7 --with-mysql, but  
it's still using MySQL client libraries version 3.23.58. I'm kind of  
at a loss where it takes these versions from or how I can get it to  
use the newer libraries.


Any hints would be greatly appreciated.

Chrs,
Dav

Late to the party and completely off the mark taboot. Don't need quotes
at all. It's bad practice to omit them, but it works fine.

[PHP] Thoughts on multiple servers

[Ronald Wiplinger]

At current stage I have two servers installed, whereby the first one 
does all, but the second is a database server.


I need to install on different location a server pair, which should work 
together, fail-fall-over, ...


The idea is to have in the dns for the servers:

abc.example.com <== general term
tw.abc.example.com<== redirected to, if the user is closer to Taiwan
de.abc.example.com<== redirected to, if the user is closer to Germany

abc will be in my office (10Mbps), tw.abc & de.abc are server 
co-location with each 150 Mbps.


The database server is connected to the web server via second Ethernet 
port and a private IP (192.168.x.x) via cross over cable.
The other ethernet port of the web server is connected to the Internet 
(either through another ADSL, like at my office) or to like the web 
server directly to the Internet HUB.
The mySQL servers should be set-up as a cluster server and should work 
together within a VPN.


Questions:
1. Any hints on above configuration?
2. Has anybody experience with a cluster mysql?
3. How to get the web servers working with the closest connection 
(according to the users IP) ?
4. How do I get info about the users IP (within the web server) to 
provide startup settings, like Time zone & so time of the user, 
language, country, ... ?
5. How to make it fail-fall-over if one of the server (web and/or 
database server!) is not working?


Thanks for you input!

bye

DOH!. I'm sorry I didn't read the fact that this was on Windows. My bad...

Um. Out of curiosity, why would you run LAMP as WAMP? It just seems so
wrong. Not to start an OS religion war, I use XP all day long, but I would
never use it as my dedicated web server -- that's why God invented
Unix/Linux. Best tool for the job and all that stuff...  You're just asking

RE: [PHP] Is it possible to restart Windows Apache (service) on a PHP script?

[Daevid Vincent]

What we do is setup 'sudo' to run certain commands (or a shell/ruby script
for example), then have PHP/Apache exec() the script via sudo (or use a DBUS
call to a 'root' enabled ruby daemon), which then restarts apache or
whatever we want.

Be VERY careful with the way you do this or you can give crackers all kinds
of ways to cause you pain.


For example:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc# cat /etc/sudoers
Cmnd_Alias CHMOD = /bin/chmod
Cmnd_Alias REBOOT = /sbin/reboot, /sbin/shutdown

rootALL=(ALL) ALL
www-dataALL=NOPASSWD: /bin/date, /sbin/hwclock,
REBOOT,  /usr/bin/dpkg, /usr/sbin/chpasswd,
/usr/bin/passwd, /usr/sbin/srvwatch,
/usr/sbin/srvtalk

Then in the PHP web page:

exec("/usr/bin/sudo /sbin/reboot");


D.Vin

"Voice or no voice, the people can alway be brought to the bidding of the
leaders. This is easy. All you have to do is tell them that they are being
attacked, and denounce the pacifists for a lack of patriotism and exposing
the country to danger. It works the same in every country." --Hermann

PHP arrays are always associative:

#!/usr/bin/env php
 ./array.php
Array
(
  [0] => 1
  [1] => 2
  [2] => 3

  [1] => b

What strict standard?  The manual shows either use being legal:

http://php.net/foreach

Re: [PHP] problem with foreach

[Nathan Hawks]

Also, AFAIK, PHP has always thrown a warning or notice if you use
foreach() on a non-associative array.  That doesn't mean it won't work,
but the strict standard is apparently:

foreach ($assoc as $key => $val)

not

foreach ($indexed as $item)

However, as we all know, the latter still works fine.

Despite the warning/notice you see, the code is probably still working
as expected (any other problems aside).  If you like to keep error
reporting on, you can just use an @ to suppress that error.

Change to: ...

Someone mentioned this earlier, but I thought I'd reiterate. I'm not sure
how the browser will deal with *arrays* that aren't quoted. It's very good
practice to explicitly tell what is what - don't let the browser interpret
as it wants to. (Side note: the / at the ends are for XHTML - they're
optional if only using HTML.)

Turn notices on. You will then get lots of notices about the use of an 
undefined constant "option".


You should be using $_POST['option'] instead - notice the quotes.

Your HTML should really have double quotes around the attributes but 
that's beyond the scope of this list.


He's still going to get an invalid argument warning though since PHP
will automatically convert the unquoted key to a string and then look up
the value. The problem is that the value doesn't exist or is not an
array as expected.


Good point. Has the OP checked any of the boxes? If not then that array 
will not exist in $_POST.

Simple question: did you check any of the boxes before submitting? If 
not, then it's the reason of this error...  The array does not appear in 
the posted variables as a not-checked checkbox is not submitted along.
But all the other comments of this thread are to be taken into account 
as well ( $_POST['option'], trying to print_r($_POST), ...)

It's usually more informative to see everything that was posted so you
might have more of an idea what may have went wrong:

print_r( $_POST );

Try resetting the array first, you may be at the end of the array;

A couple changes:

echo "you selected: ";

// Check to see that the value exists. If no options are checked, this
will be false.
if (array_key_exists('option', $_POST)) {
// include the quotes as already mentioned
foreach ($_POST['option'] as $a)
{
echo $a;
}
} else {
   echo 'nothing';

[PHP] TLS transport for Windows

[Matt Arnilo S. Baluyos (Mailing Lists)]

Hi all,

I'm looking for a PHP environment for Windows (like XAMPP), that
already has TLS transport built-in.

Would anyone know of something like it? If not, any pointers on how to
get TLS transport for a PHP Windows environment?

Thanks,
Matt

[PHP] php suexec

[Grant]

Hi again all,

Has anyone on this had succees setting up php to use suexec?

If I am reading things right, it appears that php must be run as CGI and 
then it will use the built in (Apache2) suexec wrapper in the same fassion 
as perl does.

If the above is correct I am looking for a primer on how to set this all up.

TIA,

Re: [PHP] Is it possible to restart Windows Apache (service) on a PHP script?

[Peter Ford]

You could try using exec to set up an "AT" job with a short delay which will
then run 'net apache restart' - I'm not a total windows guru so I can't give you
the exact recipe...

Something like exec('AT 12:00 "net apache restart"');

Check the documentation on the AT command...

One possible extra advantage is that you could cancel the 'AT' job during the
delay period if you clicked restart by accident :)

DOMDocument::loadCharacterEntitiesFromDtd($path);

I like to load character entities (not whole document type definition).

When I try to do that by creating my own DTD with only character

complains that it didn't occur root definition.

The proposed method, if called before DOMDocument::load/loadXML(), would
get character entities from DTD (and its modules) and apply them during
parsing XML. If called multiply, or if XML contains a DTD reference,
entities put before would be overwritten.

A day or two is not a long time and some things are not cut and dry, 
requiring a little time to think about it. If you want to override the 
DTD, you should look at using catalogs or create a custom stream handler 
to alter the XML document as it is parsed.

I agree.

Also a much simpler way of outputting a file that doesn't use up memory,
is just to replace:

 $fp=fopen($filename,'r');
 while (!FEof($fp)):
 $filedata.=fread($fp,8192);
 endwhile;
 fclose($fp);
 echo $filedata;


With:
 readfile($filename);

Probably that whitespace after your last ?>
What I would recommend is to just leave off the last ?>, it's not 
required and by not adding it you won't see those annoying problems with 
whitespaces causing corrupt data.

Re: [PHP] Unsetting a header

[Richard Heyes]

Sorry, I didn't articulate what I meant very well. What I meant was that 
you know the churn rate of your pages, so put in sensible expiry headers 
based on that info.


Unfortunately I can't foresee when the pages are changed (it won't be me 
who changes them).


But the better way to solve it is to edit the Apache configuration to 
stop it putting the headers in in the first place. Why can't you do that?


I could. I just don't know how to unset a header.

Clearing it is leaving the decision up to the browser which will not

The two have different effects. The Expires: header proclaims that the 
page is good for x hours/minutes/days etc. Whereas the browser can use 
the Last-Modified header to figure the staleness for itself. If its 
newer than the copy it has, it needs to download the newer copy.


I'm well-aware of what the headers are for, but you can construct expiry 
headers that match the last-modified header. As I said I'm fairly 
certain you will not be able in PHP to remove a header added by Apache. 
Given that you can't get rid of it your best option is to set it to a 
value that will minimise its effect.


Why can't you modify the Apache configuration to prevent it from adding 
this header? If not in httpd.conf then in a .htaccess file. If your host 
won't let you do that, switch to someone who will.
