No.
But you could easily write your own program using libcurl to do such
stunts.
Although, i was able to write my own PHP App. I did use PEAR Net_Curl BTW.
?php

$incomingAId = $_POST['a_id'];

Hello,

I was able to create a working CURL connection and it was great.
Although, i have another problem.
1. file: connect - I connect via a CURL to a URL and sends two
parameters (application, just wait and hangs) -- this is
intentional
2. file: connect - Receives a reply of the two parameters that i
had
just sent
3. file: connect - sends a XML post to the remote url (remote url,
closes the connection and application)
Could i send two CURL request in one instance? while waiting?
I am not sure how to do that in a simple way with Curl. The few times I
have used Curl directly, I used custom HTTP requests instead of other
options.
Nowadays I use this HTTP client class that wraps the complexity of the
HTTP protocol and uses preferrably fsockopen to send HTTP requests. Take
a look the test_http_soap.php example which seems to do something
similar to what you want:

I do a lot in the eLearning sphere in PHP, and this type of thing could be a mobile eLearning server for rural schools in Africa that is actually affordable! Students could connect to it via thin clients or mobile phones and get an education all in one. To be honest Paul, I think you'd find that an EeePC would be cheaper than a sufficiently well-specced PDA, especially given the time and effort required for the key points you describe. An EeePC already runs Linux, with a decent processor, reasonable disk space and good connectivity options, so a LAMP stack ought to be easy. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

It is still one binary of 8.6 MB and no shared libs. what's your configure line look like right now? PS - I'd never heard of QNX - just looked it up - interested to know what your doing with it and php. I have an embedded system with an sqlite database. I want a web interface that shows database info and maybe system info. cool :-) PPS - Is a single large binary any worse than a smaller binary that loads in a bunch of extensions (assuming the same extensions in each case), won't the memory footprint be near enough the same for each? It seems that my system has a problem with loading large binaries. It would be nice if I could decide in the ini file which extensions will be loaded (I am not sure which extensions I need). I use the shttpd web server. This one does not support fast cgi. Loading a large cgi interpreter each time slows down my system. ok - seems like you will only be needing a small subset of the available extensions. have you tried using --disable-all and then only enabling the extensions you really need, It may get the binary size down to a usable level. When I use the option --disable-all the binary is about 5 MB. Which is much too large. An option could be not to use php but perl. This binary is 1 MB. But I think the best option is a web server with fast cgi. Removing the debugging symbols and enabling the extensions I need gives me a binary of 2.7 MB which is already better. lighthttpd? It took me a while to port lighttpd + libs but it is just what I am looking for. Thanks a lot.

Re: [PHP] PHP CLI Problem
Robbert van Andel schreef: I am having trouble with a PHP CLI script I wrote to help manage my website. The site is on a shared hosting server where the PHP installation is set up as a CGI. The script creates some backups of my databases and sends them to Amazon's S3 service. First off, the script runs great from the command line when I type php5 backup.php but when I type ./backup.php I get an error: bash: ./backup.php: No such file or directory. is the script marked as executable? I thought maybe this is a problem with the top declaration in the script #!/usr/local/bin/php5. The problem is that it appears the server has several php5s I can reference /usr/local/apache/share/cgi-bin/php5 /usr/local/bin/php5 to determine which php5 you are using type: $ which php5 this gives you the full path, which you will need to use in the relevant cron line (and/or the shebang line at the top of the script) - cron requires fullpaths. But it doesn't matter which one I put at the top of the script, I get the same error. Okay, so I can live with having to type php5 backup.php. However, when I try to make a cron job from the script, the script never runs. The crontab entry looks like this 1 0 * * 2 php5 /kunden/homepages/23/d117947228/htdocs/oregonswimming/administration/backup/ backup.php backup.log I know the backup never runs because I redirect the output to a file and have an email sent to me upon conclusion of the script. The log file doesn't show anything nor do I ever receive an email. My web host will not provide any support for scripting, so I'm hoping someone here can help. Questions: * How do I determine what to put at the top of the script so that I can just call backup.php? * What, if anything, do I need to do to make the script work from cron? I've seen some comments on the web regarding PHP CLI when PHP is a CGI, but none of them seem to apply to me. Thank you in advance for your help.

[PHP] Recommended ORM for PHP
Hi list, When creating a LAMP app, I always start by writing ORM myself. It's fun but it usually takes a long time. Besides, that always results in a toy-system, I mean, that has not so many features, not so efficient non-bug-free. I started to think that now is the time to throw away my rubbish and use more effective Open source ORM. So my question is what ORM are you using? What ORM do you recommend?

It uses code generation to create your ORM for you direct from the DB tables. As it's code generation as opposed to run time analysis (which is what ActiveRecord and the like use), there is no performance hit - it literally just creates your PHP class files for you. There is a framework aspect to Qcodo called QForms but this is decoupled from the generated ORM so you don't have to use it if you don't want it.

HI, When writing tests, do you use phpt or phpunit? (or another one?) Why do you use that one? Let's share the idea. I like both, but when I write simple tests, I prefer to use phpt because it's less code and easy to write. I use phpunit for tests of complex classes.

Questions: * How do I determine what to put at the top of the script so that I can just call backup.php? Doing that is not such a great idea, and here's where the first two paragraphs come into play: remove the interpreter designation line (the first line, containing the #! characters). Make sure the script is enclosed in ?php ? tags. You can find scripts that written to specifically run as crons that instead have the interpreter designator, but it's just one more thing you'll have to manually change when porting from one system to another, or if your host updates their configuration. PLUS: Keep in mind that, even when using an interpreter designator, you *still* have to enclose your code in the ?php ? tags (or, if short_open_tags is on, which it probably is, just use ? ? tags). Why? Because PHP is set to parse *only* code between those tags, and even if you run the CLI with the -r flag (which allows you to run code without the ? ? tags), it will only run /one line/ of code per call. (See: `which php` --help -OR- `which php5` --help) So if you absolutely want to run it as ./backup.php from the local directory, or /kunden/homepages/23/d117947228/htdocs/oregonswimming/administration/backup/backup.php, here are the steps to do so: 1.) chmod 755 /kunden/homepages/23/d117947228/htdocs/oregonswimming/administration/backup/backup.php 2.) Line 1 (backup.php): #!/usr/local/bin/php5 (or whatever 'which php5' or 'which php' says - no backticks here) 3.) Enclose your code in ? ? tags, not including the interpreter designator (first line). * What, if anything, do I need to do to make the script work from cron? See above answers. SECURITY NOTICE Here are some things to consider in this specific situation: 1.) NEVER disclose full server path information as you did in your email. From that, I was easily able to discover the domain name, based upon the fact that Oregon is a US state and swimming would indicate the interests were most likely of a group or charitable ORGanization. ;-P 2.) It's always a Bad Idea[tm] to place crons of that nature in the web path. I was able to run the cron without the need of logging into your admin panel, because there was no security to stop me. And while all it will do is create a backup of your databases in this particular case, the output from that file also gives me *highly sensitive*, critical information about the location of web path information, and ABSOLUTE WORST - gives me full access to all of your database information in plain-text, and even a convenient zip file. ACTION ITEMS: 1.) *IMMEDIATELY* move the 'backups' directory out of the webroot. Place it somewhere like /kunden/homepages/23/d117947228/db-backups/

Re: [PHP] PHP Source code protection
Is htere a way to secoure my code so when they put it on the server, they can't see it! Short answer: NO Long answer NO, but: There are some products that claim they protect your code, but they all basicly rely on security through obscurity. A principle that is often frowned upon by security experts. All those products make the code harder to read, but the code is still there becouse the server has to run it. It all comes down to these questions: How much do you trust your clients? How important is your code to you? If your code is some basic accounting database or something, just make it clear to your clients that they are not allowed to re-use the code (put a licence on top of each file). If you are ashamed of your crappy code, use something like PHP Encoder to hide this from your clients. It will probably hide all the curse word in your comments for example. If you really do use some hight tech, top secret NSA crypto code. Stop distributing your code. If someone can run your code, he/she can view, modify and copy your code. All you can do is make it harder, but if your code is valuable enough, someone will reverse engineer it.

All good ideas. And in the case of Zend (and, to a lesser degree,
Ioncube), all industry standards. The problem is, decoding/decrypting
of the files has been done with some success, so if it's that big of a
deal, consider writing your own PHP module to decode your own
proprietary encoding.
Bottom line: if all you want to do is hide the source from
prying eyes, use one of the suggestions you've received from others.
Of those, I'd endorse Zend Encoder.

RE: [PHP] PHP CLI Problem
D'oh. I wondered why I got that email while I was driving. Thanks for the security tip. I had actually planned on protecting those scripts after I was done getting them to work. I removed the shebang, verified the script still works from the command line but it still doesn't work with Cron. I tried adding `which php5` and that didn't work. If I run it as php, then I'm stuck using php4, so that's not really an option. Cron works on the server because I have several perl scripts running through cron with no problems. In fact, I would probably give up on this given the problems I'm having and write in perl, but the perl modules for Amazon's S3 service are poorly documented and I was not able to figure them out. There are no cron logs and the output is not sent to me after a job has completed. -Original Message- From: Daniel Brown [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, February 06, 2008 7:52 AM To: Robbert van Andel Cc: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP] PHP CLI Problem On Feb 6, 2008 1:55 AM, Robbert van Andel [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: [snip] First off, the script runs great from the command line when I type php5 backup.php but when I type ./backup.php I get an error: bash: ./backup.php: No such file or directory.

No, it's a valid idea, Nate. However, additional suggestions when
going this route:
1.) Stop all public output from the script, regardless of whether
or not it's only allowed by localhost.
2.) Still, move the databases and backups out of the web root.
3.) Instead of using `which curl` in the cron, use the *nix-only
GET command (case sensitive).

PHP5 had the latest time zone data for the US (that changed in 2007) long before the necessary updates were applied on any of our systems (Windows or *nix). I'm not sure if that was because the OS updates weren't available yet or perhaps they simply had not been applied, but in that case it was sure nice that PHP handled the dates correctly regardless of the OS. That said, I can certainly see an advantage to having everything run from a well updated OS. Andrew

So there are two ways I can think of inorder to reduce the waiting time. 1) Perform asynchronous searches at the same time so all details are collected at the same time instead of waiting for the script to collect data from each one, one by one. 2) Somehow show data as it arrives instead of waiting for all the queries to be done. Is it possible to do either of these two, or both of these two with only PHP? If so how would I do it? or is it necessary to use javascript?

[PHP] Delete a document from lotus domino with CURL
I am working on a script that log in, look for messages, download them (including any attached files) and then deletes the message from a lotus domino server. What I have access to is a simple web-gui that I access throu CURL. So far I have been able to do the following: Log in and save a cookie. List all documents in my mailbox (as a xml) This gives me a list of all documents and their id-numbers so I can... Open all document (one at a time) and save them to disc (using this url) http://000.000.000.000/mail/mapp/databas.nsf/$path/$unid?OpenDocument Where $path is the cookie-value (don't know if I need it but it works) And $unid is the documents unique ID. ?OpenDocument opens the document. Save any attachments found in the saved document (just downloading any file that are linked in the document). So far it's all good but now things get strange... Delete the document, if I browse the domino-server with explorer, I can just enter an url like the following: http://000.000.000.000/mail/mapp/databas.nsf/$path/$unid?DeleteDocument This does delete the document from the server, no problem at all but once I try to do the same with CURL, I get a page that look like this: -- Response Message HTTP Web Server: Invalid URL Exception Go Back -- If I put Delete (which also works in explorer instead of DeleteDocument) the error message change to: HTTP Web Server: Unknown Command Exception I find this most frustrating since all my other url-requests work out well. I'm greatful for any help I can get on this matter. Some more information on how I do this: OpenDocument: $fp2 = fopen(/tmp/files_from_lotus/$filename.html,w); $curl = curl_init(); curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_FILE, $fp2); curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE); curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0); curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPGET, true); curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)); curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, /tmp/cookie.txt); curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, http://000.000.000.000/mail/mapp/databas.nsf/$path/$unid?OpenDocument;); curl_exec($curl); curl_close($curl); fclose ($fp2); DeleteDocument: (doesn't work) $curl = curl_init(); curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE); curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0); curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPGET, true); curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)); curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, /tmp/cookie.txt); curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, http://000.000.000.000/mail/mapp/databas.nsf/$path/$unid?DeleteDocument;); curl_exec($curl); curl_close($curl); -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] Re: Recommended ORM for PHP
on 02/06/2008 11:10 AM js said the following: Hi list, When creating a LAMP app, I always start by writing ORM myself. It's fun but it usually takes a long time. Besides, that always results in a toy-system, I mean, that has not so many features, not so efficient non-bug-free. I started to think that now is the time to throw away my rubbish and use more effective Open source ORM. So my question is what ORM are you using? What ORM do you recommend? There're lots of Web app frameworks out there but I could't find simple ORM in PHP. A similar question was asked here a couple of days ago. I will be repeating myself, but what I said was that I use Metatsorage which is an ORM class generator tool. It is a different approach than others you may find. It generates persistent object classes that are smaller and more efficient. You may find more about Metastorage here: http://www.meta-language.net/metastorage.html Here you may find a small example application: http://www.meta-language.net/metanews.html Here you may see some screenshots of the Web user interface of the generator tool and screenshots of the applications: http://www.meta-language.net/screenshots.html -- Regards, Manuel Lemos PHP professionals looking for PHP jobs http://www.phpclasses.org/professionals/ 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

The best options I can think of are osCommerce, ZenCart, and

Thanks for the reply and checking it out. I was hoping my problem lies only in the class. I do have a Paypal account and at this point in time, it is a question of time - I've got to get my site in production and shut off the old cart.

Yeah, I concur! You really should at least understand what you are doing before attempting a shopping cart scenario where presumably people are going to be trusting you/your code with their hard earned dough. If you don't know arrays, then how exactly are you going to make sure that the thing is secure? I would _seriously_ consider taking Nathan's advice here and hiring someone to do this for you or even with you. With you has the advantage that next time, you will know, and be able to do it easier - as well as learn something along the way. --Paul All Email originating from UWC is covered by disclaimer http://www.uwc.ac.za/portal/public/portal_services/disclaimer.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Recommended ORM for PHP
Hello, on 02/07/2008 02:18 AM Nathan Nobbe said the following: well i think its worth a mention that qcodo has an article that distinguishes 'ActiveRecord classes' from the 'ActiveRecord pattern'. http://www.qcodo.com/documentation/article.php/6 what it mainly says is that code generation increases performance over runtime analysis of some model; eg. the database schema or perhaps some other representation, such as xml (or yaml [apparently ;)]). the article also classifies ruby on rails as one of these obfusticators of fowlers original pattern; greg, thoughts ? Yes, 6 years ago I analyzed the approaches of many these solutions that analyze database schemas at run-time and cache the results . I concluded that is not by far as efficient as a full code generation based solution. A code generation based solution will generate code that does what is necessary without any additional run-time libraries. Those caching solutions still need to read cached information and interpret what is cached. Not only they spend more time but also more memory, especially if you need to load a pile of classes to load your caching engine and run-time interpreter. Another problem I found in those solutions is that often you need to inherit from a fat base class that implements all sorts of functionality that you may need at run-time to perform object-relational mapping operations, even if your application objects do not need all that functionality. I concluded that it would be more efficient to generate root classes that just include the functionality you have. For instance, if you do not need to delete objects from you application, there is no sense in having that functionality in your objects. The results is persistent classes that do not inherit from fat base classes and are much thiner and faster to load and execute. Yet another problem of the solutions that defer mapping to runtime libraries is the composition of queries with conditions that need to be composed at run time. I concluded that is much more efficient to have an object query language (OQL) that lets you define the conditions of your queries. These queries are processed at compile time and the compiler generates efficient SQL code that does not need to be composed at run time. Your applications just call a single function to execute object queries that satisfy the conditions that you defined. This results again is much thiner and faster code that does *Just Exactly What You Need* (_JEWYN_). All these details that I mentioned have been implemented by Metastorage, which is an ORM code generation tool. http://www.metastorage.net/ The generated code is very satisfying because it looks exactly like what I would write if I had to do it manually, except that I did not have to spend a lot time writing it. I just defined my business objects a simple model file that describes the classes, relationships, validation rules, and functions I need to manipulate those objects. The compile time is measured in a few seconds. The time this tool took to develop is paying more and more on every application feature I need to implement but I do not need to waste hours or days coding the persistent object classes. There are more details about the Metastorage approaches to each problem on the FAQ if you are interested: http://www.meta-language.net/metastorage-faq.html -- Regards, Manuel Lemos PHP professionals looking for PHP jobs http://www.phpclasses.org/professionals/ 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] PHP/mySQL question about groups
I did some looking into performance issues many years ago at company that developed and marketed another database server, comparing the query plan to the actual code, and a query plan usually shows the processes that consume the major amount of time, disk I/O, index or table searches and such, but doesn't show time consumed comparing, discriminating, and totaling, mostly because they are negligible. On the other hand distinct depends on comparison of all columns and will have no help in reducing row counts unless accompanied by an order by clause, where as group by implys an orderby and can be faster if indexes are available for use in row ordering, and while the same totaling occurs, comparison is limited to the columns specified in the group by. The biggest impact on one or the other would be a well placed index, but for the most part they should be about the same.

It seems to me that for this case they should be about the same, as it's always been my thinking that GROUP BY did a DISTINCT implicitly. However, I don't really know the internals of any DB platform so I can't confirm that. I ran DESCRIBE on a couple different tables, and they both return the same plan. I don't see any notable difference in the queries either. However, I'll leave it to the OP to test and see if one is better for his question.

[PHP] Exception handling in PHP
Hi All
I'm little bit confusing with PHP exception handling.
Could you able to explain how to put try{} and
catch(){} in a proper way in PHP. I had already read
php exception manual but it didn't help me to get
exact idea about exception handling in php.
Cheers

Well, its pretty simple really...
In your objects that you create, just put in a statement that throws an
exception of some sort (I like to extend the built in exception handler
with a custom one that deals properly with db errors as well as PHP
ones) and then try{} and catch(){} them in your business logic.
example:
class someclass {
public function foo()
{
// do something
...
else {
throw new Exception(uh-oh - we have a problem!);
}
}
}
$thing = new someclass;
try {
$thing-foo();
}
catch(Exception $e) {
echo $e-getMessage();
exit;
}

[PHP] Multiple MySQL INSERT into loop
I'm working on this, and am not sure how the variable syntax needs to be
here.
This is what I have done manually.
//BEGIN EXAMPLE
mysql_query (INSERT INTO testimonials (id, quote, name) VALUES ('$id_1',
'$entry_1', '$name_1'));
mysql_query (INSERT INTO testimonials (id, quote, name) VALUES ('$id_2',
'$entry_2', '$name_2'));
mysql_query (INSERT INTO testimonials (id, quote, name) VALUES ('$id_3',
'$entry_3', '$name_3'));
//END EXAMPLE
I'd like to put this into a loop, so that the variable that are being
defined as the VALUES change as needed.
//BEGIN EXAMPLE
while ($i16)
{
$i++;
mysql_query (INSERT INTO testimonials (id,quote,name) VALUES ('$id_1',
'$entry_1', '$name_1'));));
}
//END EXAMPLE
What I'm trying to figure out, is exactly how I need to format my entry
within the VALUES section, so that it will change based on the value of $i.

Hi Paul
Is this following code work in PHP if mysql_connect
fails.
try{
mysql_connect('localhost','user','');
}catch(Exception $e){
echo $e-getMessage();
}

[PHP] Passing object reference to session
Hi, I am new to the list and have a question that inspired me to join the list as I can not find any answer online. When a object reference is passed to the $_SESSION array what happens to the object? Is the object serialized and saved in session (in this case file)? Or just the reference with the object in memory remaining on the heap? -- best regards, Michael -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Probably not. I don't think that the mysql functions throw exceptions on
failure.
You will have to write a wrapper function to do the exception on
failure, so something like
function dbConnect()
{
$conn = mysql_connect('','','');
if(!$conn) {
throw new Exception(Couldn't connect);
}
else {
return $conn;
}
}

Does that mean for every exception do we have to write
our custom exception and describe it from our own
message
