[PHP] Call to undefined function: xml_parser_create()... but CGI compiled --with-xml
a production box running 4.2.2 recently had a script added to it requiring use of xml functionality. The box was already compiled (a few versions earlier) with the --with-xml option. Since then, have upgraded this box twice (though it is due for another) using config.nice to ensure the same options are installed. have configured this as an apache module and as the CGI... the apache module uses the XML functions just fine. The CGI however gives the error in the subject. Have compared phpinfo() on each, and added extension_dir and include_dir to the standalone php's php.ini so that it matches the apache module version, still no joy. Any thoughts, recommendations, or hints as to what I may be missing which would cause the cgi version not to compile with the xml features even when the --with-xml option is and has been specified since 4.0.x and through every upgrade since then thanks to using the same config.nice. thanks Dave -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] best method to resize images
have a situation where clients will be uploading images via a web interface. We need to process these images to create thumbnails. In the past we have used image but have found that the output is somewhat less than desireable and limited to jpg. We would like to be able to soften the image prior to resize so it is a little clearer in the thumbnail, as well as have the option of working with gif, png, etc... Comments appreciated.

[PHP] parsing of large csv file for insert into pgsql via PHP
we have a number of csv dumps that occasionally have to be used to update tables in a postgres database... normally this is done by uploading the file and whomever running a php based parser which opens the file into an array via file(), does a split() on the comma, then executes an insert or update to the database with the split array values. we have a new upload that involves a 143mb file, compared to previous upload sizes of 10k to 150k. Is there a more efficient way to handle this rather than having PHP load the entire file into an array (which would have to be in memory during the operation, correct?). Perhaps fopen and reading line by line, or would that be the same load? thanks Dave -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Two things with this, and opinions may vary...
Functions shouldn't print or echo anything, rather you should return what is to
be displayed. Also you may want to clean up/condense your while in the
following manner;
select the name of the
author";
$query="select name from author order by name";
$result=pg_exec($GLOBALS["db"],$query);
$numrows=pg_numrows($result);
# $i=0; moved to while statement
while($i=0;$i<$numrows;$i++;){
$row=pg_fetch_row($result,$i);
$return.="option name=\"".$row[0]."\">$row[0]";
# $i++; moved to while statement
}
$return.="";
return $return;
}
?>
then print your select box with the following
much of that is personal preference mind you;

[PHP] scoring/sorting db search results based on score
looking for code snippets or links to examples of the following; - Have a database with multiple fields that will be searched against (happens to be PostgreSQL in this instance, but we can migrate any MySQL based examples/code) - We wish to score search results - ie: a match in "keywords" is worth 5 points, "title" worth 3, and "description" worth 1, perhaps even so far as multiple matches producing multiples of the point value(though that can be a later consideration) - Once we get the results, we would want to display in the order of the scoring, most points first etc... Obviously there are convoluted ways to accomplish, but I am looking to maximize the database performance, limit the number of recursive searches, and use the database/PHP each handle their portion of the search/score/ranking based on their strengths and use of system resources. appreciate any feedback Dave -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

never used foreach()... but I would check the following:
$row($key)) <= appears to have an extra ) though it would just be printed in

$row($key) <= if it is an array reference, should be $row[$key]
Here is another way to do your problem though

[PHP] timing out exec statements
we are dropping to a perl script to process transactions, occasionally the remote server the perl script interacts with becomes bogged, the transaction goes into limbo, or for whatever reason the processing of that transaction hangs (happening about 0.2% of the time). Is there a way to time and timeout the exec statement... just assume it has failed, ditch the execution, and handle the failed transaction after X seconds? The alternative we have is to run the exec and redirect the return results to another script so that no single exec would graing the whole master php script to a halt. thoughts?

[PHP] register_globals per virtual host
a while ago we upgraded the php installations on our servers. for a quick fix we set register_globals to on for code compatibility. Since then we have been cleaning up code to eliminate this. We likely still have some virtual hosts who are using these globals though, so while we are wanting them to modify their code, we wish to turn globals off for the rest of the server, and allow those sites to be the exception to the rule. Assumption is that adding a "php_admin_value register_globals on" to selected virtual host containers in apache will allow that particular site access to the globals while allowing the default (off) for the remainder of the sites. Is the assumption correct? Ramifications or caveats that should be considered? Dave -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] reconfigure not showing in phpinfo
Recently reconfigured php to add in support for some extensions we were previously not using (Pear among others). switched to src directory, backed up config.nice edited config.nice to remove/alter the appropriate "--without" lines rm config.cache ./config.nice make (no errors) make install (no errors) pretty seemless... in checking phpinfo() it doesn't show the altered config line though and stil shows the original config line from when we upgraded this server 4.2.2. Is there a cache of this that needs to be deleted somewhere? All the extensions and changes DID take place though and work just fine, just annoying that the phpinfo() which we use to check configurations isn't correctly displaying the current config.

[PHP] redirect missing function error
related to "Automatic include of files containing functions"
Can we capture errors for missing functions and have the script correct the
problem and attempt again?
For example//
$result=MyFunction($someVariable);
if this function doesn't exist, PHP generates an error. Capture the error and
fix it...
error_handler case(missing_function){
require('/path/to/functions/'.$missing_function.'.php');
return/retry the function or line of code
> elseif file doesn't exist
terminate with helpful info... can't find function in functions dir...
}
in short, soe code to drop in the header of each document to remove the
requirement to have any functions hard coded into the pages, and simply have a
repository of functions in a directory that would be included only when called.

RE: [PHP] Automatic include of files containing functions
Here is what I am looking at for a partial solutions (see "redirect missing
function error" for my next hurdle)...
All functions are contained within individual files in a "functions" directory,
none of which are hard included into the PHP pages;
eg//
./functions/ShowThis.php
./functions/ShowThat.php
./functions/ShowOther.php
in each PHP page...
Now when we want to call functions, we use the following syntax...
instead of;
$MyInfo=ShowOther($someVariable);
we use;
$MyInfo=call_user_func(func('ShowOther'),$someVariable);
This seems to accomplish what I want which is to remove my large 30 function
text file from being loaded for every page when some pages only require one of
the functions in the file.
Comments?

recommend insuring this is at the top of your page and using header() instead

and would eliminate that as well
-Start of file--
https://www.example.com/page.ext";);
exit;
}
# rest of page here since if it isn't secure the page stops at the exit after
the header has been sent to the browser to redirect.

Check your particular server response for the match, you may be able to just do;
if (!$_SERVER['HTTPS']) {

Please check this for viability...

# - and numerous other functions which may or may not be

#
# include at the top of each page

} else {
# function already exists, no action required
}
eval("\$return=$f_name($f_string);");
return $return;
}
/*
...
*/
# when we need to run a function
# instead of...
$my_info = get_my_info('name','account');
# we would do...
$my_info = function_do("get_my_info","'name','account'");
This would check to see if the function was already called and included, and if
not, include, then run and return the result. this would avoid having to
include explicitly any files containing functions on any page as they would all
be loaded dynamically.
Am I groking this correctly?

[PHP] Automatic include of files containing functions
On a few sites we have used a master include or function file containing all the unctions required for the site... Some of these function files may contain 30-40 functions and some pages use only 1 function from the file. Would like to be a little more dynamic in our approach of this, and have started moving all the functions into their own files... for example moving connectdb() from the functions.php file to a connectdb.php or connectdb.inc file. Then for any particular php page, we would pull in only the functions that we need for that particular page. From a script/function management perspective this would be ideal. Questions// What would this do as far as speed and efficiency (having to load 4 or 5 includes/requires rather than one larger include that has 25 functions that aren't needed or used)? Then the hard one... Is there a way to have the PHP script dynamically pull in the required include files? for example, have a function at the top of each page to include any files required as a result of functions that exist in the script... ie: this page uses abc() 123() and so it include/require ./includes/abc.php and ./includes/123.php which contain the appropriate functions. OR is there an easier way to manage what is becoming an over abundance of functions for particular sites. Have gotten in the habit of creating a function for anything I have to do more than 1 or 2 times on seperate pages just to speed and simplify code from a design and readability point of view.

[PHP] regex match problem
as part of a larger application we have a bit of code that processes whois to determine domain name expiry dates. Most formats are easily parsed, but Register.Com has thrown the little regex for a loop and I am unsure as to a clean workaround. Here is what we have; ... $pregmatchstring="/([\s])*(Renewal\DDate|Registered\sthrough|Expires|Record\sExp ires|Domain\sExpires|Expiry\sDate)([\D\s]*)(.*)/i"; ... exec($command,$cresult,$cstatus); # puts all lines into array $expire=''; for($i=0;$i strip space characters from the front (some indent) ([\s])* > identify the exipery date line from other verbose entries containing "expir" or similar (Renewal\DDate|Registered\sthrough|Expires|Record\sExpires|Domain\sExpires|Expir y\sDate) > any other spaces, .:, or other verbose crap afterwards **except for numbers** > essentially grabs everything else up to the first number > thought I was being slick with this one ([\D\s]*) > grab numbers/date - gets the 2002/12/01, 09-APR-03, 2002-08-19 00:00:00.000 (.*) > and make case insensitive /i takes care of Renewal-Date: 2002/12/01 Registered through- 08/16/02 00:00:00 Expires on: 09-APR-03 expires: 2003-01-17 02:16:03 Domain expires on 03-Apr-2003 Record expires on 2002-08-19 00:00:00.000 Record expires on 29-Mar-2003. Record expires on 2003-03-25. DOMAIN EXPIRES : 2003-03-25. Expiry Date..2003.03.25 HOWEVER... this simple solution breaks for register.com because of their date format Expires on..: Tue, Jul 29, 2003 because the regex only returns "29, 2003" as the date which barfs for the strtotime() not the regex fault of the strtotime fault, as they are doing what instructed... Any ideas on a way to simply overcome the register.com format and still keep a simple all inclusive regex for all registrars?

[PHP] regex in_array or array_search

Array ( [0] => admin [1] => user1 [2] => user2 [3] => user3 [4] => ) which lead me to believe that the last \n was parsing as an extra element in the array... (not sure why), thus the dilema of either trimming each element of the array, or pop'ing an element off the end of the array. both seemed annoying, thus the post after recoding it with each/trim into new array and use that for checking validity... I redid the original file using the script and got different results; Array ( [0] => admin [1] => user1 [2] => user2 [3] => user3 ) which is what I expected in the first place... as such, the original code could now just check for the username with a ."\n" on the end (as you recommended).

leaving that last user added to the file not to match since it will not have a
\n at the end of it...
adding one to the user as it is added into the array results in yet another
array element after the file() since it reads the additional line as another
array element.
>BTW, it should be:
>

thats the crux...
fwrite ($fd, join('', $users));
results in a long string of usernames in the, which can't be grabbed back into
the array with the file... in short, there is no way to trim as you file() to
eliinate this (from what i can see) other than running it through each() or
something and rebuilding the array after trimming. Was hoping for something a
little more eloquent.
cheers,

thanks, I am/was looking to avoid looping through the array unnecessarily, and
simply have them removed at the time of dumping the file into the array.

RE: [PHP] Purpose of $$var ?????
variable variable... right up there with array array
basically what you are saying is resolve $var, then find out what that variable
holds
example;
assume your $counter is currently at 5
$var = "v".$counter."_high_indiv";
would mean that $var= "v5_high_indiv"
assuming that v5_high_indiv is dynamically assigned somewhere as a variable
$$var is the value of $v5_high_indiv
make sense?
variable variables are especially good in loops... for example, if you have
variables called
$user1, $user2, $user3
to print out all the variables would require one line per variable (and alot of
typing). using variable variables you could print out the value of all users by
looping it
for($i=1;$i<100;$i++){
$user="user".$i;
echo $$user;
}

[PHP] file() and array values contain extra \n
$users=file('.users');
# puts users in the file into an array so we can
# check for valid or priv users with
if(in_array($HTTP_SERVER_VARS["REMOTE_USER"], $users)){}

fwrite ($fd, join("\n",$users));
fclose ($fd);
the problem is after adding users, only the last user returns the user name in
the array, all the other users have an additional "/n" at the end of them, which
causes the check to barf.
I want to ensure that the .users file is in;
user1
user2
user3
...format, am I missing something in the reconstruction of the users file that
can eliminate the "\n" being placed into the array on the next file() call?
hope that made sense... thank.
