[PHP] Re: Using PEAR and PHP
Hi Suraj, take my advice: read the Manual! Greets Carlos Am 23.08.2012 19:42, schrieb Suraj Shah: Hi.

Re: [PHP] set up mass virtual hosting with apache/nginx and PHP ... best practice 2012?
From my experience to maintain many virtual host, I prefer use Apache + PHP + suPHP. I think this combination will be able to cover your ideal situation above. But, I usually use authentication via shell user (/etc/user). You must find tutorial or something that integrate Apache and Active Directory (there are many out there). suPHP is designed to replace suExec (default Apache mod). It will run a PHP file as a user that own the files. There are no problem if you want to use it for many user, because suPHP is designed for that. For user who will uploade file, you can always use FTP to access their own file. Each user can has their own .htaccess in their own directory and all the websites will have one global rule in httpd.conf. On Wed, Aug 22, 2012 at 6:26 AM, D.

[PHP] redefine a define ...
I know the response that I will get on the internals list, so I'll put this one past readers here ... I've just switched to overhauling a commerce package extension to the framework that I'm upgrading to be E_STRICT complaint, and I've hit a little snag. The original designers took the approach of doing the language translations as define() constants with your just selecting the language to load. The problem comes with the fact that they load a generic file, and then follow it by additional defines for more accurate text ... overloading the generic copy ... What I was not expecting was a string of 'Notices:' complaining about the redefines. So how does one get around this message? One can't 'if defined' as the string needs to be replaced with the more appropriate one. I would say, why is this even a problem, or alternatively I just give up on E_STRICT and make sure it's disabled again on PHP5.4? Having spent several months getting the code clean on E_STRICT, switching it off again will really pig me off, but I can't see any real alternative given the number of languages and strings that will need reworking simply to get things clean :( -- Lester Caine - G8HFL - Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Well, I'd do the following to avoid issues in the future.
1) Create a function like that below, which provides global access to
variables and allows you to update existing values:
function val($name, $value = null)
{
static $values = array();
if ($value === null) {
return isset($values[$name]) ? $values[$name] : null;
} else {
return $values[$name];
}
}
2) Create a php script that searches out define(SOME_NAME_PATTERN,
value) and replaces that with val(some_name_pattern, value).
3) Create a php script that searches out SOME_NAME_PATTERN and
replaces with val(SOME_NAME_PATTERN);
Not too bad in terms of work, as PHP's parsing capabilities are really nice.
Hope this gives you ideas :)

That's probably quite some work given the many defines.. Fact is, constants
are, as the name says, constant. Would it be possible to just not include
the general file?
Second, though not 100% sure if it works for E_STRICT is using @ before all
defines to silence the warning. You could do a simple replace for that..
- Matijn
Re: [PHP] redefine a define ...
Can you just switch the order?
Instead of...
define(SOME_CONSTANT,Generic Value);
define(SOME_CONSTANT,Override Value);
Why not do...
define(SOME_CONSTANT,Override Value);
if(!defined(SOME_CONSTANT)) { define(SOME_CONSTANT,Generic Value); }
This should avoid any redefinition and thus the notices.

I'll install DirectAdmin and cPanel now that you recommend them, however, to make sure I don't actually want them :-) -- Dante -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Instead of...

Why not do...
define(SOME_CONSTANT,Override Value);
if(!defined(SOME_CONSTANT)) { define(SOME_CONSTANT,Generic Value); }
This should avoid any redefinition and thus the notices.

the number of languages and strings that will need reworking simply to
get
things clean :(
Well, I'd do the following to avoid issues in the future.
1) Create a function like that below, which provides global access to
variables and allows you to update existing values:
function val($name, $value = null)
{
static $values = array();
if ($value === null) {
return isset($values[$name]) ? $values[$name] :
null;
} else {
return $values[$name];
}
}
2) Create a php script that searches out define(SOME_NAME_PATTERN,
value) and replaces that with val(some_name_pattern, value).
3) Create a php script that searches out SOME_NAME_PATTERN and
replaces with val(SOME_NAME_PATTERN);
Not too bad in terms of work, as PHP's parsing capabilities are really
nice.
Hope this gives you ideas :)
Adam
That's probably quite some work given the many defines.. Fact is, constants
are, as the name says, constant. Would it be possible to just not include
the general file?
Second, though not 100% sure if it works for E_STRICT is using @ before all
defines to silence the warning. You could do a simple replace for that..
- Matijn
I think the point is that the code is relying on overriding the
constants, so that wouldn't help at all. I think the best thing would be
to re-write the code, constants are never meant to be treated like that,
it's entirely the opposite of what a constant is.

Re: [PHP] set up mass virtual hosting with apache/nginx and PHP ... best practice 2012?

But, I usually use authentication via shell user (/etc/user). You must find tutorial or something that integrate Apache and Active Directory (there are many out there). suPHP is designed to replace suExec (default Apache mod). It will run a PHP file as a user that own the files. There are no problem if you want to use it for many user, because suPHP is designed for that. For user who will uploade file, you can always use FTP to access their own file. Each user can has their own .htaccess in their own directory and all the websites will have one global rule in httpd.conf. Using VirtualDocumentRoot, I was able to create a virtual host defined like this: VirtualHost *:80 ServerName student.sampledomain.edu ServerAlias *.student.sampledomain.edu DocumentRoot /mnt/web/student.sampledomain.edu/docroot UseCanonicalName Off VirtualDocumentRoot /mnt/userwww/%-4+ ErrorLog |/usr/bin/logger -p local6.notice -t 'error-student' CustomLog |/usr/bin/logger -p local6.notice -t 'access-student' full /VirtualHost That maps domain names like username.student.sampledomain.edu to directories in the /mnt/userwww/username directory. That gets me close, but isn't handling PHP yet. I think Apache also runs as 'apache' user when reading all the files, so users must chmod their files world readable still for this to work. You reference suPHP as the way to go. The problem I have with that is this website: http://www.suphp.org/Home.html Looks like the last update was back in 2009. That's more than 3 years ago.

I'm trying to figure out what is the best way to do this. We have Active Directory and are using Centrify to authenticate usernames and passwords on our Linux servers. I am imagining it would be great if we use something like ExecCGI to ensure that PHP runs as the user that owns the files. We would then provide FTP access to the files and FTP would authenticate against Active Directory making sure to set the proper user/group on files when uploaded. I see that PHP-FPM exists: http://php-fpm.org and it claims Ability to start workers with different uid/gid/chroot/environment and different php.ini (replaces safe_mode) which is exactly what I'm looking for. It also claims PHP-FPM is now included in PHP core as of PHP 5.3.3. so that's good. I also read about the greatness that is NGinX: http://nginx.org though I don't know if I can use it because I think I also need to use .htaccess files. I need a way for students to be able to password protect their directories and files. If there's another way using NGinX or Apache, that's good too. I know of no other way. Here is an interesting article from 2009: http://www.howtoforge.com/how-__to-set-up-mass-virtualhosting-__with-apache2-mod_rewrite-mod___userdir-mod_suexec-on-centos-__5.3 http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-set-up-mass-virtualhosting-with-apache2-mod_rewrite-mod_userdir-mod_suexec-on-centos-5.3 That uses mod_rewrite to attempt something like what I'm trying to do ... and then, Apache has mod_vhost_alias: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/__2.2/mod/mod_vhost_alias.html http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_vhost_alias.html So, I see a lot of information out there. Apache, NginX, ExecCGI, FastCGI, mod_vhost_alias, mod_rewrite, SuExec, mod_userdir. I suspect some of these methods are old and out of date. In my ideal situation: - users would be created in AD and would exist on the OS - student domain names would look like: http://username.student.__school.edu/ http://student.school.edu/ - OR - http://student.school.edu/__username/ - file directories would look like: /mnt/somedir/username/__docroot - students would be able to create PHP applications executed with their own permissions - I would be able to configure all 5,000 accounts with a single configuration (1 virtual host rule?)

Then simply run a clean set of defines as I can't easily replace all of that text in the rest of the code tree :( I can see why the approach was taken originally as it READS a lot better than building the translations as an array of strings which is used in other packages.

usually it's just fine to wrap the pattern into delimiter.

RE: [PHP] A quick ereg translation
You're correct in the fact that you've added delimiters to the pattern, however
you also need to specify the s pattern modifier so that the search spans over
multiple lines.
This should do the trick:
preg_match('#body(.*)/body#is', $content, $matches);

[PHP] syntax error breaking in and out of php into html code
I've just inherited some (pretty awful code) that I have to make some
edits to, and came across a bit of a problem. A lot of the code breaks
in and out of PHP and into HTML code:
?php
while(condition)
{
?
lisome html here/li
?php
}
?
But when I check this my PHP parser is saying that this is a syntax
error (checked in the browser and CLI). I know this is code from a
working site, so it must be a setting within my PHP configuration.
Now, I'm intending to re-write this anyway, as the logic is all over the
place (SQL queries within the HTML, no separation of code and content,
dozens of warnings all over the place) but I was wondering what setting
causes this. It's mostly a curiosity thing really, as this thing is
going to be re-written faster than an school project the eve before
hand-in.

For your latest statement, Yes, default Apache will handling program as 'apache' user. But, if you use suPHP, suExec, or other similiar program, the file will be execute as a user that own the files. So, in other words, you must use 'chown' program to assure the php files is own by the right user. The files still readable with that program if you use secure and right mode with 'chmod' program. For security reason, you must always use 755 for directory and mode 644 for files. You reference suPHP as the way to go. The problem I have with that is this website: http://www.suphp.org/Home.html Looks like the last update was back in 2009. That's more than 3 years ago. I think that project has stalled. There must be something newer that has replaced it since then. I think the suPHP project is not dead yet. It's because the program is small and just doing a simple task and if the suPHP program still work for the latest Apache today, why do we must question it? Even small notepad from 10 years ago can still be used today, right? If you want advanced and simple task to manage files for each user, you must buy commercial program like cPanel or Plesk. -- Duken Marga
