Re: [PHP] checking if URL's exist
You need
$s= fsockopen('host.com',80);
fwrite($s,GET .$URL. HTTP/1.1 \r\n);
fwrite($s,Host: host.com \r\n\r\n);
and you must read first string - if url exists string begining with 200
or 304
if url not exists string begin - is 404

[PHP] Running mount from PHP
Hi, I'm trying to run /bin/mount and /sbin/mount.cifs from a PHP page. So, I´ve added this to /etc/sudoers: - Cmnd_AliasCMD_MOUNT = /bin/mount Cmnd_AliasCMD_CIFS ) = /sbin/mount.cifs nobody ALL = NOPASSWD: CMD_MOUNT nobody ALL = NOPASSWD: CMD_CIFS - Problem is that I need to run it from PHP and in this way, it doesn't mount. I'm using PHP's exec function: exec(sudo mount -t cifs ...) I have the ownership and permissions of the mount point set correctly. As it is a dynamic application, the mount point always changes (/mnt/user1, /mnt/user2, etc.), so, /etc/fstab is not an option :( Any ideas ?

It had no name before, but now it's commonly called 8pt FIXEDSYS (in this case, on a triple-headed display running 1600x1280x1 + 1024x768x2). Standard Vim on CLI with XTerm enabled, *NIX systems all the way. When I'm forced to use Winblows, I use PuTTY and tunnel to a *NIX CLI or drop to a Cygwin shell or live install from my little 2GB flash, but still use FIXEDSYS. I'm one of those weird old-schoolers who prefers to do everything from the command line rather than the GUI. Many times, I even use a self-written CLI program to read and write email --- including to this list --- so that I don't have to touch the mouse.

Re: [PHP] What font/size do you use for programming?
I'm running a Mac (so I know mine is a bit different size wise) but I'm currently using Veranda at 14 point for coding. Just out of curiosity, what font and size do you ppls use for your programming? I prefer Monaco to Verdana - easier to distinguish 0 and O, etc. The font that came with Eudora, Mishawaka (or something like that) is also good, as is something called ProFont http://www.tobias-jung.de/seekingprofont/. -Jim -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

This will intercept every single error and pass it to your function allowing you to do whatever you want. One thing to keep in mind though is that if there is a fatal error you're kinda in a hard spot since memory limits could have been hit, etc. I use this technique sometimes to include an error page (not header redirect to it). It won't help you on a parse error though. Luckily I use the PDT editor which has real-time parse error checking so I don't ever have that issue anyways. Another solution that I've seen Rasmus say is that you can start your script off with an error header and content and then if your script logic/whatever completes okay, set the header back to 200 and replace the error content with the real generated stuff.

[PHP] Logic sought
Hi gang: Here's the logic problem. First the site: http://php1.net/b/zip-files/ Now, the site works well enough. The user selects what they want, clicks Submit, the order is assembled in zip file and presented to the user for downloading. However, as it stands now, before the script assembles the test.zip, it deletes (unlinks) the previous test.zip and therein lies the problem. If two, or more, users hit the site at the same time then a RACE condition may have one user getting something they didn't ask for or not getting anything at all. The complicated way I figure I could solve this would be to: 1. Generate a random string name for the file -- instead of test.zip, it could be ax12nhg34.zip. 2. Then when the user selects the download that would trigger a javascript routine that would send the name of the file to be deleted to a slave php script that would unlinks the file. I know this will work, but if the user never downloads the file, then the files accumulate on the server. Does anyone have a better idea?

If you aren't worried about cpu load, you can probably use the streams api to make a zip file in memory and spit that out to the user without ever creating a file on demand. If you want this to be fast, then you need to cache zip files or pre-generate them to users and store them in some sort of sane filename based on selected options. This way there isn't randomly generated files being re-created for no reason. The other option is to just generate a random filename and cron-delete them after so long. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Logic sought
generate a unique hash as the name based on the contents of the zip, then if 2 people happen to want exactly the same selection you won't have to build/zip it twice ... just check if the zip happens to exist before trying to build it. have the script do garbage collection on old zip files ... in a script specific 'tmp' dir that stores the created zipfiles ... the GC can kick in on 1% of every requests (and maybe limits itself the ammount of time spent GCing) to elliminate race conditions completely you'll have to use a lock file, which the script needs to exclusively lock before attempting to create the zip ... a failure to get an exclusive lock means having to recheck the zip's existence (chances are some other script just created it). in addition a shared lock should be obtained before trying to read a zip, to avoid reading half written files.

If you already know the extension isn't loaded that is your error condition that you've caught. So show an error saying can't do it at that point.

I know this will work, but if the user never downloads the file, then the files accumulate on the server. Does anyone have a better idea? Thanks, tedd Everybody so far has had excellent descriptions of what to do. I would do almost everything they recommend. Except, if I had the hard drive space to make all the possible permutation and allow them to down load the file that someone else had created, I would do that. Rather then possibly rebuilding an identical file over and over again. So, I guess I need to ask this question. Are their to many files in your download selection too make the number of possible zip archives out of the question to be cached? If that is the case, then I would delete old ones using a cron/task schedule type program. But I would do it much quicker, say every three to seven days. if you are limited on space, you will need to protect yourself against bots that might try, accidentally of course, to to make you run out of HD space. At this point, you might have to build something into your php script to manage the file space consumption.

RE: [PHP] can any one help me on this
It's probably some white space above your session_start function. Make sure that there is no white space before your ?php start tag and try again. -Original Message- From: willyam pax Sent: 10 July 2008 13:13 To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] can any one help me on this Warning:session_start():Canot send session cache limiter - headers already sent help me i dont understand this warning... but the program still works... thanks in advance... -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

This usually means you have trailing whitespace in an included file where you've used the closing PHP tag.
