[PHP] MySQL 4.0 + PHP 4
Anyone out there have anything to share as to using PHP4+MySQL4. I've been hearing good things on the MySQL list about v4.0 and I'm thinking of upgrading, since I run a rather small server.

Re: [PHP] how to read the stuff that got piped ("|") to the script?
If you're on any UNIX:
$fp = fopen('/dev/stdin','r');
if($fp)
{
while(!feof($fp))
{
$line = trim(fgets($fp,4096));
echo $line."\n";
}
}
?>

RE: [PHP] thumbnails
I'd definitely generate them on the fly for him. I personally use the *NIX program "convert" which comes with imagemagick. It works great and is easy to use. General Steps: 1.) Copy big image to location 2.) Use convert to make a thumbnail and name it 't_'.$image_name 3.) Put image name in a db someplace 4.) Just prefix $image_name with 't_' to get the thumbnail I'm sure there are ways to do this within GD, but I've found Convert to be more flexible.

The main page will have the thumbnails of all the vehicles and as you click on each one, you will see the normal sized photo. Should I: 1. Allow him to upload one picture and then somehow generate a thumbnail from that? If so, should I generate the thumbnail when the picture is uploaded and keep the original picture and the thumbnail on the server or generate the thumbnail on the fly when the page is loaded...and only store the original picture? 2.

RE: [PHP] Re: PHP OOP x Procedural Performance
In my experience OOP isn't any faster/slower. I've used it on sites that get 30M hits a month; so if it's gonna break I'd have seen it by now. One thing I'd like to abundantly point out is that NOT EVERYTHING BELONGS IN OOP! For instance, if you're building classes that output HTML - you've skipped a few chapters in your OOP design books. OOP with PHP is lacking as far as complex application development (PHP5 looks to fix this), but it works great for base classes. I usually program CORE functionality in OOP (ie. Basket for e-commerce which keeps track of users' baskets).

I would say, that web app model is so inefficient in itself, that you can hardly do anything to make things significantly worse or better performance wise. Also OOP is extensively used in other environments, and unless you are coding critical device drivers, it is rarely to "expensive" in terms of processing time.

RE: [PHP] Re: PHP OOP x Procedural Performance
Sure ... I'm of the belief that OOP (in PHP anyways) has great use for core libraries. Core libraries, by their nature, generally don't output HTML. It's a core libraries job to separate logic and presentation. How portable is your library that outputs HTML for a guy who wants PDF/WAP/XML output? For instance, I have a product class that does various things to format product *data* prior to my procedural scripts putting it into my Smarty templates. If that product class outputted the data in HTML it would be useless to me for WAP users or a script that generated PDF versions of our online catalog. --Joe -- Joe Stump <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.joestump.net "Label makers are proof God wants Sys Admins to be happy." -Original Message- From: Johnson, Kirk [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, May 29, 2003 8:21 AM To: 'Joe Stump'; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [PHP] Re: PHP OOP x Procedural Performance > One thing I'd like to abundantly point out is that NOT > EVERYTHING BELONGS IN > OOP!

Re: [PHP] PHP newbie question
This is my weekly flamebait on the subject of unset variables and checking
against those.
isset() fails on form elements (ie a text box that is left empty) therefore the
variable will be set, but it will be set to '' - to check thoroughly you would
have to do if(isset($var) && !empty($var)) or, my personal favorite, is the
if(strlen($var))
empty() acts really wierd when values are set to 0 and isset() doesn't always
catch everything you need done.

Re: Re[2]: [PHP] declaring variables in class definitions
They don't break the classes per se, but it definately promotes good OOP
structure. Keep this in mind for PHP 5 and PHP 6 which might (who knows) bring
us more strict OOP rules (ie private and public variables). In which case your
classes would have to be entirely rewritten instead of just putting a public:
or private: in front of your already defined variables.

Re: [PHP] input processor function
This is how I usually do it:
Then you have an array of values in $f
then just do :
while(list($key,$val) = each($f))
{
$$key = strip_tags($val);
}
Which will then create a variable $firstname and put a strip_tags of $val into
it (leaving your original $f array intact for future use)

Re: [PHP] Autonomous Mass Mail List System (Broadcast Email)
Sure - I did this with qmail. In your .qmail file or any file that passes the incoming mail to /dev/stdin you need to pipe it to a php script. It will look like this: I had email addresses setup like ezmlm - ie [EMAIL PROTECTED] or on the other hand [EMAIL PROTECTED] - then just parse out the To: address and replace the = with a @ (dashes as well with something else) and remove the email. --Joe On Wed, Jan 10, 2001 at 06:49:16PM -0700, Jason Beebe wrote: > Hey Everyone, > > I'm working a project for one of the company's websites. they have a subscription >mailing list that the user signs up their email address to receies periodical >emailings. > > The email addresses are stored in a flat txt file. 1 email per line.

require includes the file BEFORE any processing is done - so yes it will be
included - you need to use include() instead.

Re: [PHP] date comparison
The way you want to do this is with UNIX timestamps. FYI a timestamp is the
number of seconds starting at 1970 and going up (it's important to remember
that date - since some people were born before, etc.)
So you need to do this:
$dateA = '12-25-1999';
$dateB = '12-24-1999';
// convert to unix time stamps
$fooA = explode('-',$dateA);
$fooB = explode('-',$dateB);
$timestampA = mktime(0,0,0,$fooA[0],$fooA[1],$fooA[0]);
$timestampB = mktime(0,0,0,$fooB[0],$fooB[1],$fooB[0]);
if($timestampA > $timestampB)
{
echo $dateA . " is greater than B";
}
Hope this helps - you can also check out this page:

Re: [PHP] date comparison
Yes - it may work like you are saying, but I would use a timestamp to be sure.
You can make comparisons on regular date formats from within MySQL with the
date or datetime fields.

Re: [PHP] Date data type problem
This is not possibly - do this on $date2 first:
$foo_date2 = str_replace('-',$foo_date2);
then
if($date1 < $foo_date2)
{
}
else
{

Re: [PHP] load balancing with php/apache?
I would agree - we started using one at work (the 760 I believe) with 128GB of online RAID 4 storage - YUM!

Re: [PHP] variable question
Put them in an array? PHP allows for variable variables, but I'm not sure they
work with classes.
This works:
$foo0 = 'a';
$foo1 = 'b';
$foo2 = 'c';
$foo3 = 'd';
$foo4 = 'e';
for($i = 0 ; $i < 5 ; ++$i)
{
$var = 'foo'.$i;
echo $$var;
}
Try it with an object...

Re: [PHP] Sorry! Help needed!
Here is the difference between method="post" and method="get" - "get" passes the variables on the url (ie script.php?var1=foo&var2=foobar) and "post" passes them behind the scenes. They both have the same effect. The difference is that if a user reloads the page with a "get" request it reloads without any noticable effect to the user, on the other hand, a reload on a "post" request will pop up the "You must repost the previous form. [ OK ] [ Cancel ]" message. --Joe On Tue, Jan 23, 2001 at 02:13:26PM +0200, Anna wrote: > Sorry for it isnt PHP related, but maybe someone can answer or point where > to look > > I have some disagreement with one person about method="post"...

Re: [PHP] crontab help
I send roughly 1M of these and put a sleep() (not usleep - that's microseconds) into the while loop - I've come up with a decent balance that sends out a good number (like 5000) and then sleeps just long enough to get them out of qmail's queue, then it sends another 5000 (and so on). Usually takes about 24 hours to send out 1M messages. --Joe On Fri, Feb 22, 2002 at 03:36:33PM +0800, Arnold Gamboa wrote: > thanks for the comment > > let's just say i have 100k emails to send... don't you think that will drain > the system resources if i send it all at once even if you have usleep(300) > on each while? > > your comment please. > > > put a sleep(300); at the end of your while() loop - I did this on my mass > > mailer and it worked like a charm. > > > > --Joe > > > > On Fri, Feb 22, 2002 at 02:53:10PM +0800, Arnold Gamboa wrote: > > > hi there. > > > > > > is there a way to tell crontab to do: > > > > > > "run script every 5 mins for 1 hour".. > > > > > > i have this mass email script that is so huge that i need it to chunk > into > > > records and make sure that it will run every 5 mins for 1 hour. > > > > > > Thanks for any help. > > > > > > > -- > > > > -- > - > > Joe Stump, PHP Hacker, > -o) > > http://www.miester.org http://www.care2.com > /\\ > > "It's not enough to succeed.

Re: [PHP] isset()
I stand firm on strlen() for the following reasons ...
if(!$var) will sometimes act strangely (has for me in the past) when variables
are set to something other than what you are expecting.
if(isset($var)) will return true if your text field is declared but not filled
in.
if(empty($var)) will return true if $var is set to 0 (for obvious reason) so is
only good for certain instances.
strlen() on the other hand converts the variable to a string and returns a count
of characters. It's never failed or acted funky. For this reason I use it
religiously.
Others might say "well it's extra overhead" to which I reply "I'll take an extra
bazillionth of a second to know for sure I have what I need"

Re: [PHP] isset()
You are COMPLETELY wrong here. isset() is designed to check if a variable is
SET - NOT if it has something in it. empty() is designed for strings NOT for
ints - so if it's set to 0 it will fail. Finally in PHP 4 + you have problems
when you do checks and variables aren't set.
I do this, like I said before, because the extra 1 billionth of a second is
worth the overhead. I've programmed for sites ranging from a few hundered hits
a day to a few million hits a day and this works ALL the time.

For the last time - put an input box on a page and submit with NOTHING in the
box. Now I want SOMETHING in that box (like a name) - isset() will return true
even though it's empty.

Re: [PHP] mySQL table joins are slow, need rebuild?
You need to remember a few things when it comes to joins:
the joined fields must be the EXACT same definition
- example: a join on id int(9) and id int(3) will NOT be optimized
- more: a join on id char(9) and id int(9) is REALLY NOT optimized :O)
We have an accounts table with userID as the key char(15) (don't ask, it's an
old design made by a former employee) which has roughly 1.6 million rows in it.
We regularily do joins on it with other tables that have thousands of records
in less than .05 seconds.
This sounds like a table structure problem to me.

$months = array('Jan' => 1,'Feb' => 2,
'Mar' => 3,'Apr' => 4,
'May' => 5,'Jun' => 6,

'Sep' => 9,'Oct' => 10,
'Nov' => 11,'Dec' => 11);
$foo = explode(' ',$date);
$month = $months[$foo[0]];
$day = str_replace(',',$foo[1]);
$year = $foo[2];

Re: [PHP] Bug or what?
We had NASTY problems with cookies on different servers. I've even seen code
work on one linux/apache machine and not another. This is usually due to the
fact that the server's clock is off from the browsers clock (or vice versus)
and the browser sees that the cookie has passed and destroys it without setting
it.

You can through arrays into cells in an array without any troubles. I've had arrays go 4 and 5 deep before just because there was an array I needed to put in a cell that related to that set of data.

Re: [PHP] Tip for cookies
Check out "global" it allows you to make things "global" or at the top of your file you could do a define with the cookie value in it an it would be accessbile without passing the value to the function - this saves both time in typeing and is faster since it doesn't have to copy the cookie value to a local variable each time it is used in a function. --Joe On Tue, Apr 17, 2001 at 06:36:45PM -0400, Pat Hanna wrote: > I found out today after suffering from minor headaches and hair loss that if > you have functions defined in and outside file name 'foo.php', and in those > functions you use cookies, you must pass those cookies to the function > called.

Re: [PHP] need help
The 3rd argument for fwrite() is the length of the string. So you should do:

fwrite($fp,$line,strlen($line));
fclose($fp);

[PHP] timezones
I have a quick question regarding timezones ... On the local side a record is inserted into the DB by someone in Michigan, while the server rests in CA. Thus a three hour difference. The local mktime() will create a timestamp for say 9:00am when in reality it was entered at 12:00noon in MI. I have 2 character timezones for all my users so it should be easy to convert the two. putenv() won't work because of the fact that the timestamp created will be 9:00 no matter what timezone you put it in. So what needs to be done is some recognition that 10800 seconds needs to be added to adjust the PST timestamp to an EST timestamp. Are there any functions out ther that do this? --Joe Joe Stump <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> One is taught by experience to put a premium on those few people who can appreciate you for what you are. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [PHP] timezones
Thanks to everyone who sent in the info. The problem is as follows:
1.) the mktime()'s are stored as PST in the DB.
2.) we have users ALL OVER the world - is there a place to find all of the
timezones at?

Re: [PHP] building a php based subscription site (not a porn site)
What I usually do is set a cookie BEFORE sending them to the paypal site then on the confirm page (which they click through to after they paid) check for the cookie - if it's there then activate the account. If not then delete the account after 5 days (gives them plenty of time to bitch if they didn't click through). Make sure to put a LARGE notice on your signup form explaining exactly how to activate their account.

Re: [PHP] Auto Thumbnail?
All you need is the nifty little program called convert - I have a frontend class called convert.php at my website. Check out http://www.miester.org in the code section. BTW, this bypasses the need for compiling gd into your php compile. Also, you'll want to make sure you have convert on your system (sometimes isn't installed). It's part of the Image Magik utility pack. --Joe On Fri, Nov 16, 2001 at 11:16:57PM +, cosmin laslau wrote: > I've got a website which will alllow users to upload photos (jpegs) and, > once approved, they'll be up for display.

[PHP] New PHP-GTK Site
I've noticed there isn't really a jumping off point for the PHP-GTK beginners and users. I spent the last few hours throwing a site together that has the basics to fill this void. It has: 1.) An application archive 2.) News 3.) Discussion 4.) Helpful Links I've put up one of my initial apps and plan to put up a few others and maybe a small HOWTO. I'd like the people who have been posting apps to take a few minutes to post their apps here as well. Also, anyone who was thinking of posting their apps it might be better served if we posted them in a more central location. Finally, if anyone wants to help out (admin, howtos, etc.) please feel free to contact me. As for me, I'm tired and plan on working on it more tomarrow :o) --Joe /*****\ *Joe Stump * *www.Care2.com * *Office: 650.328.0198 * *Extension: 122 * \*/ www.miester.org -BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK- Version: 3.12 GB/E/IT d- s++:++ a?

Re: [PHP] file deletions ....
Make sure that the PHP user (usually nobody) has the access to delete those files - I usually just do `rm -fr /path/to/file.foo`; and it works fine. --Joe On Wed, Mar 28, 2001 at 09:42:36AM +0100, Steve Brett wrote: > hi, > > i need to delete files in my web folder so i can 'tidy' them up. i have a > username and password that has ftp access and so far i've tried system(), > unlink() and setting up an ftp connection (they use php 4.03 whihc seems to > have ftp access closed). > > i have no problem listing the files i want to delete but seem unable to > delete them. > > can anyone help ? > > Steve > > > > -- > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] /*\ *Joe Stump * *www.Care2.com * *Office: 650.328.0198 * *Extension: 122 * \*/ www.miester.org -BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK- Version: 3.12 GB/E/IT d- s++:++ a?

Re: [PHP] New PHP-GTK Site
PHP-GTK, for those who don't know, is an implementation of GTK using the PHP language. It basically allows you to program GUI applications in PHP on Windows, Linux, and basically any other OS that GTK and PHP will compile on. To find out more information check out: http://www.gtk.org http://gtk.php.net http://gtk.php-coder.net --Joe On Wed, Mar 28, 2001 at 11:19:24AM -0800, elias wrote: > What is PHP-GTK? > Can you just write me a short list of what it can do? > > "Joe Stump" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message > [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... > > I've noticed there isn't really a jumping off point for the PHP-GTK > beginners > > and users.
