Re: [PHP] Unable to override status code in certain installations..?
Well, just for the sake of anybody in my situation finding this thread in the
future -- the workaround is to use this:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ /redirectTest2/verify.php?page=$1%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
instead of
ErrorDocument 404 /redirectTest2/verify.php
It seems to perform the same job, but because it's just mod_rewrite, it
won't show up as a 404 whatsoever, which means that even on servers that
refuse to let PHP's headers override Apache's error code, you're able to
send whatever status header you want.
RavenWorks wrote:
It's the exact same situation as this bug:
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=24177
except, that bug was fixed back in PHP 4...
In my case, the server that works is running PHP 5.2.2, and the server
that DOESN'T work is running PHP 5.2.3! So either it's a bug that cropped
up (again) after 5.2.2, or there's another factor here.. (For instance,
the server on which it doesn't work is running Apache 1.3.37, and the
server that handles it correctly is running Apache 2.2.4.)
At least knowing that it's (likely) a bug, and not an obscure config
setting, is something. If no-one else has any other suggestions, I guess
I'll submit a bug report?

My question is this: What causes PHP to be able to override the

PHP's
behavior or Apache? Is this a configurable option, or was the behavior
permanently changed in a given version of either?
I think you are falling prey to a PHP bug.
You should be able to find it in:

All information I need to retain has already been logged to various mechanisms prior to calling header() which is immediately followed by exit(); I don't think a DIV tag can do what you want...

You should modify this function by getting rid of it entirely, putting

Other than that, you're on the right track...

I know. I knew. I knew that variables do not need quotes, that
single quoted variables get parsed literally. I edited the email

So blindfold me and shoot me for not taking the time to edit that
bit of punctuation that was sent to the list, I asked for help on
the loop and not help on connecting to the db. Oh, so shoot me for
posting too much code, basically. I'm guilty as hell on that.
In the actual test I tried after sending that email, probably I
left a set of quotes in somewhere, I can't find any reserved word

so probably I'll try it again.

Forget the loop, this should have puked right here, or you aren't
posting your actual code...
It was the actual code, edited for certain authentication data that
is already identified elsewhere.
phpinfo() says PHP v4.3.11 and MySQL v3.23.32 so why didn't it puke
right there and why should it have?
Please tell me, I need to learn more about these versions I must
deal with too.

$result = mysql_query($sql);
$row = mysql_fetch_row($result);
//loop through to display results
for($i=0; $i count($row); $i++){
The $row only has TWO columns in it: column2, column3
Right. And?
The $result may have many, many, many rows in it.
You can find out HOW many by using:
http://php.net/mysql_num_rows
This has already been resolved, but I'd like to learn what I can

For the amount of email I'm looking at (1000s, growing), yes. Hmm, that's not quite what I was thinking of. The amount of emails to be delivered does not in my opinion affect how fast it needs to happen. Your local MTA will take a while to deliver those emails anyway, so the time from script to user is mostly dependent on that, which means you're left with reducing the time from script to MTA. If you need to finish the script fast (in order for some user-intercation to continue perhaps), I would would just detach the script and carry on. Sorry, yes the time of delivery is not so important as the time to pump the messages to the MTA. As long as the MTA has them and they get delivered in a reasonable time frame I'm happy. The application is all about mail delivery and the script has to return immediately, so I'll be launching a separate process to insert the addresses into a minimal mail_queue table in my db, and then a 5 minutely cron script which will pass them to the MTA. If there's any way to re-configure the MTA to queue the messages for later sending, that would save you a lot of overhead on the PHP end... -- Some people have a gift link here. Know what I want?

[PHP] Freebsd 6.2 amd64 PHP 5.2.5 Internal Server Error
Hello,
I have a freebsd 6.2 server running amd64 version with php 5.2.5. The
web server is Apache 1.3.39. The following bit of code works on the 32
bit version of php running on Freebsd 6.2 (32 bit), Apache 1.3.39 build
but causes a 500 internal server error when run on the amd64 bit
version. The amd64 bit version has the web application mounted as a nfs
mount.
$file_name = MOUNT_DIR . /test.txt;
if (!$write_handle = fopen($file_name, 'w')) {
return false;
}
//set conforming strings to true
$ins_fields_sql = SET standard_conforming_strings to
TRUE;;
fwrite($write_handle, $text_to_write . \n);
THIS WRITE HAPPENS TO THE FILE
foreach ($ar_orders as $key = $value) {
### INTERNAL SERVER ERROR
}
Has anyone come across this? Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Ditto for ALL your values throughout this script.
I know. I knew. I knew that variables do not need quotes, that
single quoted variables get parsed literally. I edited the email
to make those changes, the real values were contained in the
actual script. See following (earlier than your reply?) emails.
So blindfold me and shoot me for not taking the time to edit that
bit of punctuation that was sent to the list, I asked for help on
the loop and not help on connecting to the db. Oh, so shoot me for
posting too much code, basically. I'm guilty as hell on that.
In the actual test I tried after sending that email, probably I
left a set of quotes in somewhere, I can't find any reserved word
conflicts. Other replies indicate that it should work as intended,
so probably I'll try it again.
if (!$link) {
die('Unable to connect : ' . mysql_error());
Forget the loop, this should have puked right here, or you aren't
posting your actual code...
It was the actual code, edited for certain authentication data that
is already identified elsewhere.
phpinfo() says PHP v4.3.11 and MySQL v3.23.32 so why didn't it puke
right there and why should it have?
Please tell me, I need to learn more about these versions I must
deal with too.
It should have puked because you couldn't have connected to a host
named '$host' is all.
//get column data
$sql= SELECT column2, column3 FROM $table;
$result = mysql_query($sql);
$row = mysql_fetch_row($result);
//loop through to display results
for($i=0; $i count($row); $i++){
The $row only has TWO columns in it: column2, column3
Right. And?
And you are using count($row) which is always TWO (2) so you will
always show the same first row, twice over.
The $result may have many, many, many rows in it.
You can find out HOW many by using:
http://php.net/mysql_num_rows
This has already been resolved, but I'd like to learn what I can
from you re: your earlier comments, above.
Your take-home should not be that switching from mysql_fetch_row to
mysql_fetch_array somehow magically fixed it.
It should be that iterating over the result set with any mysql_fetch_*
function instead of iterating over the columns within a single row was
what you wanted to do.
A closer match of your original post would include:
$num_rows = mysql_num_rows($result); //Call function only once for loop:
for ($i = 0; $i $num_rows; $i++){ //Iterate through all rows
Aside, does everyone else think you are a butthead or are we off
to a bad start? Let's fix that, can we?
If you want to take a poll and find out who thinks I'm a butthead,
feel free.
If you expect me to care if you think I'm a butthead or not, you're
out of luck.
:-) :-) :-)
You may want to look through the PHP-General archives for posts and
see if I appear to be a butthead in general, or if you just mistook my

This is weird, and it's a bit odd that the code is causing a #500 error
after you have successfully written the file. I would do the following:
1 - Check the apache logs (the overall error_log, and the specific domain's
error log). What do they say about the error?
2 - If you are using mod_rewrite, that could be the cause (it's a good
source for # 500 errors, and you can enable rewrite.log for debugging, if
that's the case)
3 - If you can test it with several browsers do it (IE has caused me trouble
at least on my development box, it was kind of throwing a GET request twice,
and one of the times without the last part of the URL path... weird).

Well, almost... the other part of the world that arguably wanted square
brackets escaped in http_build_query will be very pleased (let me tell you I
don't use http_build_query, but have my own as sometimes PHP 5 is not an
option...).
I guess they thought http_build_query would always be used in an URL
context. But yes... escaping square brackets could be made optional and we
get the best of both worlds.
Anyway... my point was that names may need escaping, at least in some
contexts. But let me ask you because maybe I'm wrong:
a href=index.php?list%5Bindex%5D=valueClick/a
Wouldn't this be translating into $_GET['list']['index'] == 'value'? As far
as I've tested, it is... Also, it seems that [ and ] are unsafe
characters according to http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1738.txt
Unsafe:
Characters can be unsafe for a number of reasons. The space
character is unsafe because significant spaces may disappear and
insignificant spaces may be introduced when URLs are transcribed or
typeset or subjected to the treatment of word-processing programs.
The characters and are unsafe because they are used as the
delimiters around URLs in free text; the quote mark () is used to
delimit URLs in some systems. The character # is unsafe and should
always be encoded because it is used in World Wide Web and in other
systems to delimit a URL from a fragment/anchor identifier that might
follow it. The character % is unsafe because it is used for
encodings of other characters. Other characters are unsafe because
gateways and other transport agents are known to sometimes modify
such characters. These characters are {, }, |, \, ^, ~,
[, ], and `.
All unsafe characters must always be encoded within a URL
Maybe that's why they chose to escape square brackets. I'm not a standards
freak, but rather a pragmatic man. Just trying to prove a point.

So far it's doing the job pretty well (what's more, for a SOAP API, chances are that nuSOAP is included along with the code samples). Though I didn't run any benchmarks, its speed is more than enough for my taste, when caching the WSDL object (in fact, most of the time will be spent in the server to server roundtrip). So... my vote for nuSOAP. However, if you are using the native extension and have specific needs for the XML request, you can override the __doRequest() method http://php.net/manual/en/function.soap-soapclient-dorequest.php (there's an example in the manual notes).

I guess they thought http_build_query would always be used in an URL
context. But yes... escaping square brackets could be made optional and we
get the best of both worlds.
Anyway... my point was that names may need escaping, at least in some
contexts. But let me ask you because maybe I'm wrong:
a href=index.php?list%5Bindex%5D=valueClick/a
Wouldn't this be translating into $_GET['list']['index'] == 'value'? As far
as I've tested, it is... Also, it seems that [ and ] are unsafe
characters according to http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1738.txt
...
Maybe that's why they chose to escape square brackets. I'm not a standards
freak, but rather a pragmatic man. Just trying to prove a point.
you are completely correct, and I agree. I am also pragmatic - it was pragmatism
that got me using http_build_query in a non-url context ... I have a
ORM-like tool with a generic frontend that creates very complex POST/GET
values/strings that describe what I like to call a 'data path' .. which allows
you to specify stuff like 'the list [or details] of all subitems belonging to
the
3 selected subitems of the item with keyfield values ,Y and Z'. this is done
using a structure which is a nested array that translates accross requests
nicely using http_build_query() - but it means the resulting request parameters
names are used in a GET context and in POST context which means using the
parameter
names in the context of INPUT tag names, and in such cases the encoding is not
wanted - it maybe the that encoding is required by certain standards in such a
context
BUT php doesn't recognise urlencoded square brackets in the way one wants ...
namely one doesn't get a neat nesed array in $_POST but rather stuff like:
$_POST[e[f][n]] = entityname
(as opposed to:)
$_POST[e[f][n] = entityname
(which is what my ORM-like generic thingy was expecting.)
the function I showed isn't name 'inputPost*' for nothing :-) it was
specifically
written for the task of making request parameter names as generated by
http_build_query()
usable in the name attribute of input tags and have them behave as they would if
found in a GET query string.
the only reason I remember all this about http_build_query() is because it:
a) totally broke my app/tool at a time when I didn't have control of the php
version
and didn't have time to actually fix (well I had to make time :-)
b) it was quite a headache getting the regexp in question to do exactly what I
wanted
(e.g. that only square brackets encountered in request variable names should be
decoded
and those found in request variable values should be left encoded, etc, etc).
sometimes it's fun to reminisce :-P
/* since php5.1.3 http_build_query() urlencodes square brackets -
this does not please us at all,
* this function fixes the problem the encoding causes us when
using http_build_query() output
* in hidden INPUT field names.
*/
function inputPostQueryUnBorker($s)
{
// first version - slower? more code!
/*
return preg_replace('#(\?|(?:amp;)?)([^=]*)=#eU',
'\\1'.str_replace(array('%5B','%5D'),
array('[',']'), '\\2').'=',
$s);
//*/
// second version - faster? more compact! (should work
identically to the above statement.
return preg_replace('#%5[bd](?=[^]*=)#ei',
'urldecode(\\0)', $s);
}

Your take-home should not be that switching from mysql_fetch_row to mysql_fetch_array somehow magically fixed it. It wasn't. I thought it was that I was invoking var_dump(), print_r() and echo at the wrong point to see what the output was. Also that echo was an improper command to invoke.

[PHP] SimpleXML addChild() namespace problem
This is problematic code, even though it works, because it
auto-generates an unnecessary xmlns: attribute:
$item-addChild('itunes:subtitle', $mySubTitle,itunes);
It generates the following XML:
itunes:subtitle xmlns:itunes=itunesMusical Mockery/itunes:subtitle
When really all we want is this:
itunes:subtitleMusical Mockery/itunes:subtitle
Furthermore, dumping it into a DomDocument and attempting to use
removeAttributeNS() to remove the spurious attribute removes the
entire kit and kaboodle, leaving only:
subtitleMusical Mockery/subtitle
How can one get the desired result, short of using a regexp? (I have
done this, and it works, but is a silly hack because it doesn't use
XML parsing to address an XML problem).

I don't claim to know everything there is no know about race-conditions but you can very easily program them into a php app that's for sure. please do some reading on the matter (e.g. google 'memcache+race+condition') - I'm quite sure you'll find some interesting material - I know I did (just now) Of course, my recent project uses heavly on memcached and race conditions are blown. So I have to implement some kind flag system to avoid race conditions. And in same project I use $GLOBALS-['mc'] for storing memcached resource object. and if I was use to store some kind of data in $GLOBALS i use $GLOBALS['data'][] = $some_data; And of course without proper handling. You can blow yourself... wow, we really are drifting on the initial topic of this thread here, but im going to chime in again. i think that php does not offer much in the way of managing synchronization of code that could potentially enter a race condition. the best thing youll see in the documentation (from what ive read of it) is file locks. and there is a good example of how to use them that someone has posted. but file locking for mutual exclusion is slow. ive implemented some synchronization code using the sysv sempaphores which is much faster than file locking, however not portable (though i wont be needing to port it to windows anyway ;)) java has a very nice construct, the synchronize keyword, which in my opinion is quite elegant. it is not the most performant, but i imagine it beats file locking and the best part is, its a native mechanism. facilitating mutual exclusion is a sore spot for me with php anyway. -nathan
Re: [PHP] PHP SOAP Client formats
On Jan 14, 2008 8:48 PM, Andrés Robinet [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: The only problem I had with nuSOAP was a name clash with the PHP 5 native extension. But they fixed it in November (there was a previous non-official fix also.. but can't remember the link right now). nuSOAP has been around for several years and it's working for PHP 4 or PHP 5. So far it's doing the job pretty well (what's more, for a SOAP API, chances are that nuSOAP is included along with the code samples). Though I didn't run any benchmarks, its speed is more than enough for my taste, when caching the WSDL object (in fact, most of the time will be spent in the server to server roundtrip). So... my vote for nuSOAP. i understand what youre saying, that the network i/o will typically constitute the most time in a SOAP request. i would imagine however that the php5 extension is much faster at building the request and parsing the response since nuSOAP is written entirely in php. i had to use it once and found the lack of documentation appalling. although, to be fair, id also say for anything beyond simple requests the documentation on the php site for the SOAPClient and related classes, could be more descriptive. i would label this thread as a case-in-point. -nathan
Re: [PHP] Closures in PHP
when it comes to create_function(), id say its just as painful as building functions with html or writing queries by hand. namely, its prone to a lot of string escaping which produces awful hard to read code. i mean, the kind of code you write yourself and then look at a week later and say 'what a mess'... anyway, it occurs to me that the closest thing php has to functional languages, thats readily usable is the variable function mechanism http://www.php.net/manual/en/functions.variable-functions.php theres been discussion about it on the list in the past, though often it is spoken of as a ghost feature. its quite nice. as an example, suppose you have a string $blah = 'myFunc'; then if myFunc is defined as a function, it can be invoked per $blah(/* params */); it creates the ability to do all sorts of powerful things, such as delegation whereby switch statements can be eliminated, callbacks, whereby a formal parameter could be a string that refers to a method name, and they work on object references as well. so you can get away w/ $this-$dynamicFuncName(/* params*/); in some sense you are passing around a function, but in reality there is no preservation of context at all. whats worse, the function that gets invoked had better be loaded into the interpreter or youll encounter a runtime error. but i do enjoy this feature. honestly im still struggling with closures as i continue to grow my skills with javascript, but at least the concepts are starting to sink in. being able to create anonymous functions on the fly would be a welcome feature in my book; and hey, how about anonymous objects while were at it ;) -nathan

Check if it is set before using it:

if(isset($_POST['anything'])
{
$anything = $_POST['anything'];
}
?
Be sure to validate and filter all input before using it!
