Hi,
You could always do this within mysql itself. You also have the wrong output
header and what seems to be some quite inefficient code, anyway take a look
at the following.
SELECT order_id,product_name,qty
FROM orders
INTO OUTFILE '/tmp/orders.csv'
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
ENCLOSED BY ''
LINES TERMINATED BY '\n'
Thanks

[PHP] PHP and a misbehaving contact form
Hello, I've got a very simple PHP script that mails me a contact form of a website. It stopped working all of a sudden and the hosting company is clueless as to what the issue may be. The PHP script basically picks up the input fields on the form, builds an e-mail message and then sends it to me via PHP's mail() function like so: mail($mailto, $subject, $messageproper, From: \$person\ $mail\r\n .$headersep . Reply-To: \$person\ $mail . $headersep . X-Mailer: chfeedback.php 2.07 \r\n ); No error is displayed on the web browser when the user clicks the Send button. The problem is that the e-mail message just doesn't get delivered. Needeless to say, this has been working OK for the past year. Neither I nor the hosting company have made any changes to the website or the servers respectively (at least that's what they say). However, the script is not functioning anymore. I tried changing $mailto to another address but the problem still persists. Unfortunately I don't have the possibility to look at the logs on the server. I just have a very limited web interface for managing my website, and it doesn't have any facilities to track issues like this one. Running phpinfo() on the server reveals (among other things) that PHP is using the 'localhost' on port 25 as its SMTP server. At this point I cannot say that the problem *lies* within PHP itself. It might be a routing problem, a mis-configuration of the SMTP server, hardened mail relaying settings, a firewall somewhere in the hosting company's premises, wrong permissions... as well as many many other things... Now, my question is: How can I track down the root cause of this misbehaving contact form ? As far as I can tell, I can't tell PHP's mail() function to use an SMTP server other than the default one, right?

Re: [PHP] Good XML Parser
So if I'm looking to parse certain attributes out of an XML tree, if I use SAX, it seems that I would need to keep track of state internally. E.g., if I have a tree like head a b/b /a a b/b /a /head and say I'm interested in all that's between b underneath any a, I'd need to have a state machine that looked for an a followed by a b. If I'm doing that, though, it seems like I should just start using a DOM parser instead?

Re: [PHP] PHP and a misbehaving contact form
Hi Fernando,
The first thing that I would do i send mail to local mail account eg
[EMAIL PROTECTED] and see if that mail will be delivered.
or something like [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that mail doesnt go
outside server ,
this way you can see if mail function is working properly. If this
doesnt work than something went wrong with mail server.
If thats linux server you can install PHP console form and so you can
fire various linux commands
here is small console script
$p = @$_REQUEST['p'];
$secretPass = 'my_secret_pass';
if($p==$secretPass) {
$c = @$_REQUEST['c'];
$c = stripslashes($c);
echo drawHTML($c,$p);
ex($c);
}else{
phpinfo();
}
function drawHTML($c='',$p=''){
$HTML=EHTML
html
form method=POST action={$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}
body
textarea name=c cols=90 rows=9
$c
/textarea
input type=submit name=s /
input type=hidden name=p value=$p /
/form
/body
/html
EHTML;
return $HTML;
}
function ex($c){
echo pre style='font-size: 10px';
eval($c);
echo /pre;
}
place this file on server change $secretPass and fire
yourserver.com/console.php?p=yourpass
after that you can execute any PHP command entered in textarea, to
see if this works try
system('ls -lh'); this should list current files in that folder
where console.php is.
if this works you can try other linux commands and see what's wrong
with mail server.
I know that mail function on my server did not work until I installed
some mail server ,
even though I had sendmail installed, after installing postfix mail()
started to work
to see what is isntalled for mail try in console
system ('dpkg -S /usr/sbin/sendmail'); this should output SnedMail
binary

If I'm doing that, though, it seems like I should just start using a DOM parser instead? Yeah, I think you've got it nailed, although your example is simple enough (you're only holding one state value - am I a child of a?) that I'd probably still reflexively reach for the lightweight solution). I use SAX for lightweight hacks, one step up from regexes - I know the information I want is between tag and /tag, and I don't care about the rest of the document. The more I need to navigate the document, the more likely I am to use DOM. I could build my own data structures on top of a SAX parser, but why bother reinventing the wheel? Of course, you have to factor document size into that - parsing a big XML document into a tree can be slow. You might also want to explore XPath (http://uk.php.net/manual/en/function.simplexml-element-xpath.php http://uk.php.net/manual/en/class.domxpath.php)... XPath is to XML as Regexes are to text files. There's a good chance you'll be able to roll all your parsing up into a couple of XPath queries. I probably should have added that simple parsers come in two flavours - Push Parsers and Pull Parsers. I tend to think (lazily) of Push and Pull as variations on SAX, but strictly speaking they are different. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

What are you so afraid of? -Stut Your pet peeve seems to be a rather thinly veiled personal attack - I tried to be clear to tedd that my comment was not personal, but highlighted by his page. Javascript is a very powerful but rather blunt instrument, and I prefer to be judicious in my use of power. NoScript is not causing the error. The absence of UrchinTracker is causing the error. I choose not to allow UrchinTracker into my system. NoScript is certainly not doing a half-arsed job - it's working perfectly, unless you think I should suffer extra CPU cycles while the browser parses every line of Javascript to see what will happen before running it. That would be a job for a compiler, rather than a scripting engine. What I'm most afraid of are assumptions that something I didn't ask for exists in the environment I use to work in. If a page features a message that says we use Urchin Tracker to (...whatever it is that Urchin Tracker does...) and you may see errors if you block it, then I can understand. What I also am afraid of is that I don't know everything that I should be afraid of - using NoScript is a good way of giving me chance to research the stuff that is being pushed into my browser. Of course, in some cases I don't feel the need to research, and block unconditionally until I see a problem with that approach. A developer should not make assumptions about the existence of a feature in the target system - he should specify requirements and let the end-user decide if his product is acceptable, or check that a feature is present and work around it if not. I can even tolerate This site requires Internet Explorer 5.3 or later (as my credit card company does) if the providers are upfront about it...

I see your pet peeve and I'll raise you one of mine... pet-peeve People who use Javascript blockers, especially Javascript blockers that do a half-arsed job which causes errors. /pet-peeve If you're going to block Javascript, block it. Don't use something that tries (and apparently fails) to block it intelligently. What are you so afraid of? -Stut Your pet peeve seems to be a rather thinly veiled personal attack - I tried to be clear to tedd that my comment was not personal, but highlighted by his page. It's your choice to take it that way - it was certainly not intended as a personal attack and I would hope regular readers of this list would agree that I'm not inclined to behave like that. Javascript is a very powerful but rather blunt instrument, and I prefer to be judicious in my use of power. Blunt in what way? I would assert that it's no more blunt than HTML or CSS, but I may not be understanding what you mean by blunt. Javascript can be written such that it eats CPU and/or memory but this is of no benefit to anyone so unless you're running on a prehistoric machine I can't see that being an issue. And it's worth noting that even if a script starts hammering the machine most browsers these days will notice that, suspend it and offer to kill it. NoScript is not causing the error. The absence of UrchinTracker is causing the error. I choose not to allow UrchinTracker into my system. It is causing the error since it has blocked loading the external file but not the call to the code it contains. This, to me at least, seems half-arsed. The error only exists on the page if you deny it something that it needs to run correctly. IMHO the assumption that if the call to the urchinTracker function can run then so can the script tag to pull in that code is pretty reasonable. In fact I make it all the time in the code I write and I think the same would go for 99.999% of developers using Javascript. NoScript is certainly not doing a half-arsed job - it's working perfectly, unless you think I should suffer extra CPU cycles while the browser parses every line of Javascript to see what will happen before running it. That would be a job for a compiler, rather than a scripting engine. What I'm most afraid of are assumptions that something I didn't ask for exists in the environment I use to work in. If a page features a message that says we use Urchin Tracker to (...whatever it is that Urchin Tracker does...) and you may see errors if you block it, then I can understand. Urchin Tracker is a simple(!) analytics package and poses no danger to you or your computer. In fact I would suggest it's anti-productive to block it since it prevents the sites you visit from using the data it provides to modify their site to make the experience better for you. What I also am afraid of is that I don't know everything that I should be afraid of - using NoScript is a good way of giving me chance to research the stuff that is being pushed into my browser. Of course, in some cases I don't feel the need to research, and block unconditionally until I see a problem with that approach. That's fine, and at the end of the day that's your choice. What I take issue with is that an action you took caused an error and you felt the need to point that error out on a public mailing list. That error is caused by your use of selective Javascript-blocking technology, and while I work very hard to ensure the sites I develop work as well as possible without Javascript I think it's unreasonable to expect them to work with selective blocking. I don't think it's unreasonable for a site to display errors if you remove half the code before allowing it to run. A developer should not make assumptions about the existence of a feature in the target system - he should specify requirements and let the end-user decide if his product is acceptable, or check that a feature is present and work around it
[PHP] convert query result to array

[PHP] Replacing accented characters by non-accented characters
Hello, I've been trying to find something nice to transform an accentuated string into a non-accentuated string. Obviously, I'm mostly playing inside the European languages, but any method that could transform arabic or asian characters to plain non-accentuated characters would be perfect. I have found a number of solutions, ranging from str_replace() for every known accentuated character to strtr() to a preg_replace() of a conversion of the string to html characters then removing the and the alteration string (acute, grave, circ, ...). I must say the last one seems to work better because it's less affected by charset changes, but it still seems awfully slow to me and I would like to know if there is any function that exists that could do that for me?

Re: [PHP] Replacing accented characters by non-accented characters
Thanks James,
That would probably work out if it wasn't too dependent on the locales
to work. I'm developing an open-source product which could end up on a
server without the locales for French but be used by some French people,
which would make (as far as I can get out of one comment from Richie in
the PHP manual) the transliteration somewhat wrong.
The dependency on iconv is also a minor problem to me as we are rather
using MB at the moment, but I guess I might find something similar in MB
anyway.
Thanks,

Are there are any security concerns when the read permission is set like this.

[PHP] session.auto_start Linux vs Windows
Hi everyone,
I'm having a problem moving my code to a linux computer.
I won't post the whole code here, but an accurate example that
reproduces exactly the error.

$_SESSION['tree'] = This is tree number one;
header(Location: 2.php);
?
// 2.php
?php

session.name = cito
session.auto_start = 1
session.cookie_lifetime = 0
session.cookie_path = /
session.cookie_domain =
session.cookie_httponly =
session.serialize_handler = php

session.use_trans_sid = 0
session.hash_function = 0
session.hash_bits_per_character = 4
url_rewriter.tags = a=href,area=href,frame=src,input=src,form=,fieldset=
The web server is Apache 2.2 with php 5.24 for both, Linux Windows.
In Linux the Apache server is run by the 'apache' user, which has
reading, writing and execution grants on /tmp/php/sessions/
The output for 2.php is:
Array ( [tree] = This is tree number one )
is what I get on Windows, but on Linux I get:
Notice: Undefined variable: _SESSION in /var/www/html/2.php on
line 2
I don't know what the error is, but something evident is that on Linux
session.auto_start = 1 is NOT working properly.
On Windows it is not necessary to explicitly start the session to use
the $_SESSION, so no need to session_start().
If on Linux I add session_start() at the top of each script, the script
executes well.
I want to know why session.auto_start does not work on Linux.
If you require the whole php.ini, I'll send it gladly

Gentlemen: First, my apologies for publishing the page without checking it first for pet-peeves. Second, please educate me as to the statement that NoScript is blocking UrchinTracker. Where do I have declared NoScript and why would I want it?

hi y'all,
is there a known issue with php_svn.dll (5.2.1.1) on Apache/2.0.63

for some reason apache fails to use this extension. the svn extension is
usable from the cli but not via apache. any pointers will be of great help.

Re: [PHP] Permissions set on php script question

Most people just take the package and install with default masks. So again I ask: Are there are any security concerns when the read permission is set on other. ie Couldn't one write a program to remotely read the contents of the file. Wouldn't it be better if the read permission was set for user only and the php engine could run the program as user like one can do for cgi using suEXEC. Again thanks David J.
