Shouldn't that be just gb2312 ?

The encoding informnation is in the headers sent - try using e.g.
wget -S to see what your server is sending.  Or sent me a link
off-line, and I'll check for you.

On FF 2.0.0.6 Ctrl-I brings up the info page - perhaps 3.0 changed that?

Make all images, javascript etc work with https.

That's the only IE will not complain about it.

there's some third party encoding services out there, and if you host

their hosting customers (not sure the cost, but it's pay for what you

use ffmpeg.

there is an ffmpeg-php extension but it's kinda buggy and i am not
sure it supports enough for what you want. but using ffmpeg for it is
pretty simple. just system() the calls to it. google for it

Don't waste CPU power of shared servers for video recoding.
If you need that, get a dedicated server without other customers who
would probably be affected by you using lots of cpu power.

Besides that, if you cannot install own (compiled) software on it,
you'd have to use a pure php solution which would be HORRIBLY slow.

afaik you're right, it's supposed to be fully unicode. or at least -was-

Not necessary.

saveXML() already does what is needed to provide valid xhtml output.

IE (still) does not properly support XHTML.

true that some developers are using saveXML(), it does not always comply with 
the XHTML standards.


Where does it deviate from xhtml standard?
xhtml is a subset of xml - if your DOMDocument is valid xhtml then the 
output of saveXML() should be as well.

but that's a browser bug, not a saveXML() bug.

I'm really curious to know where saveXML() fails to produce valid XHTML 
when the DOM structure is valid XHTML.


Rememver, XHTML is extendable - there's MathML and SVG that many 
browsers already know what to do with, and I'm sure others will be 
added. Unless a saveXHTML() function can be told what to do in those

How about telling us/me what it did or did not do for you?


However, it looks like my message is not getting across:
The problem is not to retrieve only the authors whose last names begin
with A:

1) which books have a second author?
2) who is the second author ?
This is determined by table book_author column ordinal (which can be 1
or 2) - if there is only 1 author for a book then there is no ordinal 2
linked to book_author bookID and authID.


This is the first that I have heard about this 'ordinal'.  From your description above, I don't get 
what it does for you.  The book_author table should, basically, connect the books table to the 
authors table by a simple two column combination of ids.  So, I don't understand the significance of 
that field.  Could you explain it further please?




The structure of the db:

book
   id
   title

   bk_cover

   ISBN
   language
   sellers

author
   id
   first_name
   last_name
  
book_author

   authID
   bookID
   ordinal



Thanks for the structure.  From this I can show you exactly what I would do to create the code. 
Minus the publishers information of course since you didn't supply the layout for those tables.


$SQL = "
SELECT  book.*
FROMbook
INNER JOIN  book_author ON (book.id = book_author.bookID)
INNER JOIN  author  ON (book_author.authID = author.id)

$bookIDs = array();
if ( ( $results = mysql_query($SQL, $db) ) !== false ) {
while ( $row = mysql_fetch_assoc($results) ) {
$books[$row['id']] = $row;
$bookIDs[] = $row['id'];
}
}

if ( count($bookIDs) > 0 ) {

print_r($bookIDs);
# above should result in a structure that shows an indexed array of book 
ids for their values.

$SQL = "
SELECT book.id AS book_id, author.id AS author_id, author.first_name, 
author.last_name
FROMbook
INNER JOIN  book_author ON (book.id = book_author.bookID)
INNER JOIN  author  ON (book_author.authID = author.id)
WHERE   book.id IN ( " . join(',', $bookIDs) . " )
";

$authors = array();
if ( ( $results = mysql_query($SQL, $db) ) !== false ) {
while ( $row = mysql_fetch_assoc($results) ) {
$authors[$row['book_id']][$row['author_id']] = $row;
}
}

print_r($authors);
# above should result in a multidimensional array of books/authors/(author 
data)
# Now, you should be able to have two nexted foreach loops.
# I will briefly give you an example.
foreach ( $books AS $bookID => $bookData ) {

# Display book information
echo '', $bookID, '';
print_r($bookData);

# Test to see if the book has any authors
if ( isset($authors[$bookID]) ) {

# Tell us how many authors we found
echo 'Found: ', count($author[$bookID]), ' authors';

# Loop through the authors
foreach ( $authors[$bookID] AS $authorID => $authorData ) {
# Display the
echo "{$authorData['last_name']}, 
{$authorData['first_name']}\n";
}
echo '';
} else {
echo 'No authors found';
}
echo '';
}
} else {
echo 'No books match your search pattern...';
}

?>

Ok, this is the second time I have written a script for you...  You owe me :)

This should return to you a header that includes the book ID and then print all the data for the 
book.  That will be followed by any and all authors for the book.


If it doesn't work...  well I don't know what to do then.

But, try it!!!  Report back to the list what it did for you or what it missed 
on.

Your responses have been very vague as to what an example did or didn't do for 
you.

Tell us everything that worked or didn't and we might be able to help you to tweak the code so it 
DOES do what your are looking to do.


Hope it works!

categories and publishers are not realy relevant here...

The code I have:

$SQL = "SELECT b.*, c.publisher, a.first_name, a.last_name

(PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE CODE)
It gives me these results:

I've searched the web, the tutorials, etc. with no luck and have asked

So, let's try again:

I am trying to limit the search for books to only those that start with
"A" (does not have to be case sensitive); but within that selection
there may be a second author whose name may start with any letter of the
alphabet.

So, the real problem is to find if there is a second author in the
selection of books and to display that name.
My query shows all the books that begin with A:

$SQL = "SELECT b.*, c.publisher, a.first_name, a.last_name
FROM book AS b
LEFT JOIN book_publisher as bp ON b.id = bp.bookID
LEFT JOIN publishers AS c ON bp.publishers_id = c.id
LEFT JOIN book_author AS ba ON b.id = ba.bookID
LEFT JOIN author AS a ON ba.authID = a.id WHERE
LEFT(last_name, 1 ) = '$Auth' ";

Within the results there are some books that have 2 authors and now I
have to find if
there is a second author in the results and then be able to echo the
second author.
So far, I have not been able to figure out how to go about that.
Do I need to do another query to find the second author or can it
somehow be incorporated into the original query? Or can it be done
with a UNION ?
Please help.

 


... and we begin ...

$SQL = "SELECT b.*, c.id AS publisher_id, c.publisher, a.id AS
author_id, a.first_name, a.last_name
FROM book AS b
INNER JOIN book_publisher as bp ON b.id = bp.bookID
INNER JOIN publishers AS c ON bp.publishers_id = c.id
INNER JOIN book_author AS ba ON b.id = ba.bookID
INNER JOIN author AS a ON ba.authID = a.id
WHERE b.id IN (
SELECT  b.id
FROMbook AS b
INNER JOIN book_author AS ba ON b.id = ba.bookID
INNER JOIN author AS a ON ba.authID = a.id
WHERE   a.last_name LIKE '{$Auth}%'
)";

A written, the code does not produce a result.
Questions:
1. why c.id AS publisher_id and a.id AS author_id? I do not see a
reference to these in the code
2. why "a.last_name LIKE '{$Auth}%'? What does that change from
LEFT(last_name, 1) = '$Auth'? the LEFT clause will give me all authors
whose names begin with A; I don't care what the rest of the string may
be - the authors' last names always starts with a capital letter.
3. What were you expecting to get as a result from the code? It looks to
me like the results will only give all authors whose names begin with A.
And that I am already getting with the code as I have written. Sorry for
my ignorance, but that is why I am asking for help.
4. So far, no one has used the book_author.ordinal to select the author
;  perhaps I have not been clear on that as that is what I use to
determine if there are more than 1 author. Ordinal 1 is for all authors
who are unique for a book; ordinal 2 is for authors who are the second
author for a book.



Thanks for explaining the ordinal significance.  Does it really make a difference if the ordinal is 
1 or 2?  Does 1 indicate the primary author and the 2 indicate supporting authors???


If a book has three authors and all three had an ordinal of 2, would it make any difference then if 
one was 1 and the remaining two were marked 2?


If it makes no difference, the the column is pointless.

If it does make a difference (identifying one as 1 and the remaining as 2), then keep it and we will 
deal with that later.


But, all this can be done without that column.

Read my other email that I about to send, responding to a different part of 
this thread.


Now, if my code is not too messy or cumbersome (I refer to your e-mail
of March 15) then what I really need is a way to save the book.id from
my query to a $tring and then use that to select the book in another
query that will give me the second author. I am wondering how that is
done; I have already used this in retrieving arrays but the id is
changed in a simple $bk_id = $result - damn, I forget where I found that
in the manuals. I used it in another situation like this:
$catvar = array_values($category[$categoryID]);
$cat = $catvar[1];

$catvar was ids like 9, 6, 17, etc. and assigning it to $cat ranged them
as 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. (which is what I want to avoid)

Then I should be able to do a
"SELECT CONCAT_WS(" ", first_name, last_name) as Author2
FROM author a, book b, book_author ba
WHERE $bk_id = ba.bookID && ba.authID = a.id"

or

"SELECT CONCAT(first_name, " ", last_name, book_author.ordinal) as Author2
FROM author a, book b, book_author ba
WHERE $bk_id = ba.bookID && ba.authID = a.id"

I probably have something wrong in the code; I haven't tried it as I am
not sure how to retrieve the $bk_id.
And the CONCAT w

Re: [PHP] How can I echo a javascript var in an email subject line? Possible? (Yes!)

[Raymond Irving]

For me its very easy to pass php values to the client:

echo _var($value,'name');

But the best part is taking control of what your client sees from the 
server-side:

C('#info')->show(); // now you see it
...
C('#info')->hide(); // now you don't!

Take control and start building powerful web apps with Raxan PDI -

Well .. this really depends and - if speaking of large scale sites
with a lot of traffic - you must recognize that you just move the
payload to another server. in that case this would be the webserver.
I give the example of Apache: one process takes up as much RAM as the
"biggest" page it serves. so if a few pageviews require the
application to parse a lot of data, all apache processes will use a
large amount of ram (I've seen systems with 120mb per process!).
High traffic requires a lot of processes and when as your webserver
starts to swap because the RAM is filled up, you're in deep shit. And
you'd  wish to have a normalized DB layout and effective queries.
Setting up a DB-Slave might be better than buying a lot of webservers. ;)

Also, the DB server is build for what you're trying to accomplish, the
webserver running php and serving pages.. well, maybe the server would
spend his CPU time in another way if he'd had the chance... whatever.
;)

A written, the code does not produce a result.
Questions:
1. why c.id AS publisher_id and a.id AS author_id? I do not see a
reference to these in the code
2. why "a.last_name LIKE '{$Auth}%'? What does that change from
LEFT(last_name, 1) = '$Auth'? the LEFT clause will give me all authors
whose names begin with A; I don't care what the rest of the string may
be - the authors' last names always starts with a capital letter.
3. What were you expecting to get as a result from the code? It looks to
me like the results will only give all authors whose names begin with A.
And that I am already getting with the code as I have written. Sorry for
my ignorance, but that is why I am asking for help.
4. So far, no one has used the book_author.ordinal to select the author
;  perhaps I have not been clear on that as that is what I use to
determine if there are more than 1 author. Ordinal 1 is for all authors
who are unique for a book; ordinal 2 is for authors who are the second
author for a book.

Now, if my code is not too messy or cumbersome (I refer to your e-mail
of March 15) then what I really need is a way to save the book.id from
my query to a $tring and then use that to select the book in another
query that will give me the second author. I am wondering how that is
done; I have already used this in retrieving arrays but the id is
changed in a simple $bk_id = $result - damn, I forget where I found that
in the manuals. I used it in another situation like this:
$catvar = array_values($category[$categoryID]);
$cat = $catvar[1];

$catvar was ids like 9, 6, 17, etc. and assigning it to $cat ranged them
as 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. (which is what I want to avoid)

Then I should be able to do a
"SELECT CONCAT_WS(" ", first_name, last_name) as Author2
FROM author a, book b, book_author ba
WHERE $bk_id = ba.bookID && ba.authID = a.id"

or

"SELECT CONCAT(first_name, " ", last_name, book_author.ordinal) as Author2
FROM author a, book b, book_author ba
WHERE $bk_id = ba.bookID && ba.authID = a.id"

I probably have something wrong in the code; I haven't tried it as I am
not sure how to retrieve the $bk_id.
And the CONCAT with the ordinal, I can filter the 1 or the 2 when echoing.

I must be really long-winded but this is a long and complicated exercise
for my little brain. :'(

Does the extension rely on any external libraries?  It may be that
apache/the extension can't find it/them or apache doesn't have
permission to it/them.

Execute a shell as the apache user and try it from cli.

[PHP] problems with loaded extensions

[Andres Gonzalez]

Hi,

I have got an extension loaded in all three of my php config files (in 
cli, in cgi, and in apache2 directories).  The functions in the 
extension are all accessible when running test scripts from the command 
line, like:


php init.php

for example, in the init.php file I have calls to several of the 
functions in my loaded extension. I also can print out the functions 
like this:


print_r(get_loaded_extensions());
print_r(get_extension_funcs("vrad"));

However, when I run these thru apache, all calls to the functions in my 
loaded extension fail even though the extension is present. If I do


print_r(get_loaded_extensions());

I see my loaded extension "vrad" printed out as expected indicating it 
is loaded. If I run:


if (extension_loaded("vrad"))

it comes back true which further indicates that the extension is indeed 
loaded.


But if I call using apache any of the functions in the loaded extension, 
or if I call: 


print_r(get_extension_funcs("vrad"));

all I get is a blank white page with no errors.

I would think that as long as the extension is loaded in both the cli 
php.ini and the apache2 php.ini, I would get the same results from the 
loaded extension. Any idea why it work thru the cli and not apache?


Thanks,

-Andres

   The best way to do what you want to do is probably to do the work
   count server side, but if you really want to use what javascript

and use
   dhtml via javascript to modify the input and insert the value
into
   the value field of the hidden input. Then it will get sent to the
   server when the user hits the post button.

   However, since you should be validating any user input server
side,
   you'll need to validate that the variable is accurate - might as
   well just do the count with php server side.



Thanks Michael I was kind of moving in the right direction as
far as the hidden input goes, going to have to google on how to
do it with the dhtml and all like you suggested.


Look at the various DOM functions - IE for



you coud do in your js:

var myHidden = document.getElementById('hiddenStuff');
myHidden.setAttribute('value',$yourvalue);


Thought I would go ahead and post a bit more on this, so here is my 
wordcount little function on the textarea of the form:


onKeyDown="wordCounter(this.form.Comments,this.form.remLen, 300);" 
onKeyUp="wordCounter(this.form.Comments,this.form.remLen, 300);">if (isset($_SESSION['Comments'])) {echo $_SESSION['Comments'];} 
?>Letters to the Editor are limited to 300 words or 
less.Words remaining: value=300>


So I was thinking I should be able to pass that again to the next page 
which is the emailform.php page that is taking all the id= and printing 
them to an email 

should be able to reuse that function right?




or do I need to define the variable? think I'm starting to confuse 
myself lol


You don't want the onSubmit in the the hidden input.

I'm not a javascript guru - but I believe you can have the form onSubmit 
do the word count and insert it into the input field before the actual 
submit happens, I've never tried having an onsubmit function alter a 
value field though.


I would change the textarea to have an id="Comments" field and the 
remLen input to have an id="remLen" field to make it easy to find via 
getElementById (as id attributes have to be unique), count the words and 
set them to a variable that then gets put into the hidden input before 
whatever function you run on the submit type onSubmit returns true.


not tested - but something like this:

function countTheWords() {
   var comment = $document.getElementById('Comments');
   var remLen  = $document.getElementById('remLen').value;
   var count = wordCounter($comment,$remLen);
   var myHidden = document.getElementById('words');
   myHidden.setAttribute('value',$count);
   }

Then in whatever function you run in the form onSumbit have it run the 
countTheWords() function before it exits.

My problem was that I had compiled Apache against the Solaris 10 openSSL 
libraries version 0.9.7. When I installed OpenLDAP and recompiled PHP I 
manually build new openSSL libs that were version 0.9.8. Rebuilding apache and 
linking to the same openSSL libraries resolved this problem for me. That 
explains why I was seeing different behavior with command line PHP than when I 
called the same code through Apache. 
 
truss (Solaris strace) brought this to my attention, thanks for the suggestions

Thought I would go ahead and post a bit more on this, so here is my
wordcount little function on the textarea of the form:

Letters to the Editor are limited to 300 words or
less.Words remaining: 

So I was thinking I should be able to pass that again to the next page which
is the emailform.php page that is taking all the id= and printing them to an
email 
should be able to reuse that function right?



or do I need to define the variable? think I'm starting to confuse myself
lol

My problem was that I had compiled Apache against the Solaris 10 openSSL 
libraries version 0.9.7. When I installed OpenLDAP and recompiled PHP I 
manually build new openSSL libs that were version 0.9.8. Rebuilding apache and 
linking to the same openSSL libraries resolved this problem for me. That 
explains why I was seeing different behavior with command line PHP than when I 
called the same code through Apache.

The best way to do what you want to do is probably to do the work
count server side, but if you really want to use what javascript
produced you can create a hidden input with a specified id, and use
dhtml via javascript to modify the input and insert the value into
the value field of the hidden input. Then it will get sent to the

However, since you should be validating any user input server side,
you'll need to validate that the variable is accurate - might as

[PHP] stream_set_timeout issue with ssl connection

[Sebastian Muszytowski]

Hello everyone,

i have an issue with stream_set_timeout and ssl.
I've written a php irc newsbot and my code looks like this:

[...]

while (!feof($con['socket']))
   {
   stream_set_timeout($con['socket'], 
$CONFIG['qtime']);


[...]

I need this timeout because i want to read the news every X seconds from 
the Database.

I use

$con['buffer'] = trim(fgets($con['socket'], 4096));

to get the data. If i don't use the stream_set_timeout the bot would 
wait until it recieves data.


In fact this solution works, but only if i connect with fsockopen to a 
non ssl connection.


If i use a ssl connection steam_set_timeout seems to be ignored.

Any clues or workarounds?

Sebastian

PS: You can download the whole code on 
http://muzybot.de/phpircbot.tar.gz or http://muzybot.de/phpircbot.zip

Andrew


I use windows right click for this.

Actually I isolated the problem, but still I can't figure out how to 
solve it. The page is not utf-8, but ugb2312.


I am already sending the header through php:
header("Content-Type: text/html; charset=ugb2312");

And with apache http.conf:
AddDefaultCharset ugb2312

However firefox still claims that it is utf-8 which is causing the 
strange characters.


What a night mare! Does anybody have an idea on how to get closer to 
solving this?

I'm not very familiar with the Pear libraries, but the approach is a
good one. A good library will either pass the query off as a prepared
statement with parameters to the database (if supported) or else will
perform parameter substitution that should use
mysql_real_escape_string() or similar functions to build a statement
that should be safe to execute.

The fact that you see these strings in the correct database field is a
good sign, because they were correctly interpreted as string input and
inserted rather than being interpreted as statements and executed.
Just don't use this as a litmus test for your site's overall security.

yes it is. I checked it. UTF-8.

It looks like it has to do something with wget, the programm I used to 
retrieve the file. Or Linux itself. The language-pack for china is not 
on the suse box, and I can't even find the chinese language through yast 
"languages". This might explain, why I can open it from a mounted samba 
share directly, but not through the apache webserver who reads it from 
the linux system.

Looks like an attempt to get your SQL server to execute a command, Microsoft
SQL server will do that(among others), and if not properly set up can do it
with root access.  If you don't properly escape and store this comment in a
database, it could execute (called SQL injection, no?).

You don't need a disassembler; I already said what that string is
intended to do. If it is allowed to run on Microsoft's SQL Server, the
hex value is implicitly converted to the string "WAITFOR DELAY
'00:00:10'", which is then executed. It doesn't require semi-colons,
as SQL Server doesn't need them between statements. This particular
command is relatively harmless by itself. Its value lies in the fact
that if it causes the resulting page to take more than 10 seconds to
load, the attacker knows that your page is wide open to SQL injection
as well as knowing that he can execute anything he wants. If you're
running MySQL, this won't work so you should be unaffected. Just make
sure your code is written to prevent SQL injection and you should be
fine.

I suppose if you get a lot of these requests from the same IP address
you could have the web server block requests from that IP.

Something really strange: If I open the file directly from the hard

is set to utf-8.

Thank you everbody. I figured it out without regex. It's not for 
production, just testing:

$pos_1 = strpos($contents, $word1);
$pos_2 = strpos($contents, $word2, $pos_1);
$text = strip_tags(substr($contents, $pos_1, $pos_2 - $pos_1));

That works as well.

I don't think PHP / Apache have the rights to execute a perl script like

Either give hello.pl execute rights. Or change the line in exec to

Let me see if I got this right. The data you got from the form tries to
set up a local variable, assigns it a hex string as a value, then tries
to execute it. That definitely looks like an attempt to crack your
server. It looks like the semi-colons were removed somewhere, so none of
it actually runs. But you would probably need a set of dis-assemblers to
find out what CPU that code was written for and what it actually does.

Next question: You said there are multiple comments like this. How do
they differ, if they do? Possibly they are trying code for different
CPUs.

Did you trace these back to the logs to see if they all come from one IP
or subnet? Is there anywhere to report these attempts that would
actually do any good, or should you just ban that IP.

But this one goes into my journal as something to be prepared for.

It's probably someone testing to see if your site is running SQL
Server and is vulnerable to SQL injection. Effectively all it does is
issue the command WAITFOR DELAY '00:00:10', telling the server to wait
for 10 seconds before allowing the connection to continue.

[PHP] extracting text - regex

[Merlin Morgenstern]

Hello,

I am trying read text out of a text that is inbetween two divs. Somehow 
this should be possible with regex, I just can't figure out how.


Example:


bla blub


I would like to extract the text "bla blub" out of this example.

Has anybody an idea on how to do that? Is there a special php function 
available for this?


Thank you for any hint,

[PHP] Larger fonts...

[Peter Ford]

Patrick,

The reason you think the fonts are too small is that you have (un)zoomed the
screen at some point. The proportions of the centre white panel to the side bars
is wrong.
Measuring your screenshots, and assuming you had a full-screen browser window at
1680x1050 resolution (what your monitor does), I work out that the white section
of the screen is only around 800 pixels wide - it is defined to be 1000 pixels
wide at normal magnification. Measuring the icons suggests that your screen is
showing them at 42 pixels, while they are supposed to be 56 pixels. Overall,
your seeing the whole thing at 80% full size - no wonder the fonts look small!

The fonts and icon sizes haven't changed for about a year, and you haven't
really complained before.

In addition, you are using a pretty large screen - the pages are designed to
work on a 1024x768 screen as a minimum. Making the fonts larger would
drastically reduce the amount of information displayed vertically - it's already
pretty tight on some of the design screens.

So, I'll ignore the calls for bigger fonts and icons.

The button icons may also look better at full size, but the main problem is that
they need to be properly designed. Replacing them with just words is not very
good - it makes them all different sizes, which messes up the layout.
I could remove the shaded background and see if that helps.

Other points I will work on.

Cheers

Re: [PHP] Best Practices for Hiding Errors

[George Langley]

	Thanks for all the info, everyone! Seems like the @ trick is nice  
for individual lines, but turning off/on every time may be bit much  
on a complicated page. The ini_set('display_errors', false); also has  
a hit, as it turns back on after the entire script has run, but seems  
the easier way and just the one time may not be too bad. So maybe is  
best to turn it off in the actual ini, and turn on only for me, based  
on my IP or some other flag.

Thanks again!

Re: [PHP] how to get the filesize of an online document?

[Gevorg Harutyunyan]

Hi,

You must get content-length http header value, but sometimes header is not
set and you don't have any chance to
get size.

For more info see *get_headers* function description.

Hello everyone,

I tried the filesize() function, but this doesn't work. I also search

Hope you can give me some hints or code snipplets so that i can work for 
an solution.


Thanks in advance

Sebastian
