RE: [PHP] Pulling unique data from database
Here's some skeleton code showing one way (untested, no error checking shown):
$query = 'SELECT Language FROM whatever';
$result = mysql_query($query);
$languages = array();
while ($row=mysql_fetch_object($result))
$languages = array_merge($languages, explode('||', $row->Language));
$languages = array_unique($languages);

[PHP] User/Pwd Management Package?
Friends, I'm interesting in finding a PHP package that implements functions for managing user names & passwords & controlling access to specific parts of a site. Of course, free is best. But cheap is good. And, even not-so-cheap is fine, as long as it provides good functionality. Any pointers appreciated. -- Jonathan Rosenberg President & Founder, Tabby's Place http://www.tabbysplace.org/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

RE: [PHP] Shopping Cart Credit Card Verification
The solution you choose for credit card verification depends on a number of things: - how much control you want over look & feel - whether you are rolling your own shopping cart I happen to use Authorize.Net, which allows you to control the entire process & maintain the look & feel you desire: http://www.authorize.net/ But there are lots of other solutions.

Lots of other popular interpreted languages managed to get by without the need for something unique to identify a variable name: LISP, TCL, JavaScript, Visual Basic. During parsing an interpreter or compiler will know when it might see a variable (or constant, which can be stored in the same hash table). Look at the syntax for any language.

But the language could still support variable evaluation within strings
without requiring the '$' to always appear in front of a variable name.
So, a '$' within a string would mean "treat the following identifier as a
variable to be evaluated". I believe that this introduces no
inconsistencies & removes the ugly $s that litter PHP programs.

RE: [PHP] CURLing to authorize.net
I bet that your copy of CURL was built without SSL support, despite the fact
that PHP has SSL compiled in.
To test this, see if you have the "curl" shell command installed & try
curl https://secure.authorize.net/gateway/transact.dll
It will probably say something like
curl built without SSL support

RE: [PHP] Re: POST fields through CURL
Are you sure that the HTTP header should be on there? I don't believe that is correct. It is the use of CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS with the curl_setopt function that indicates that a POST is being made. I just checked the code I used for credit card clearing & it does NOT include the HTTP headers. Just the POST data. > -Original Message- > From: Bogdan Stancescu [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Sunday, August 11, 2002 22:36 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [PHP] Re: POST fields through CURL > > > Yes, the strings are formatted exactly like GET strings, but you'll have > to build the whole HTTP header in front of them in order to get a valid > HTTP request.

[PHP] CURL & SSL
I am on a server that has CURL & OpenSSL enabled. I assumed that this meant
that I could do https: requests via CURL. But for some reason, my attempts
to do this are not working.
If I do a CURL http: request, everything works fine (i.e., I get the web
page, as expected). But if I use an https: request, no value is returned.
Do I need to do something else to make https: requests work in CURL?
Here's the code in question:
$ch = curl_init("https://secure.authorize.net/gateway/transact.dll";);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
In this case, $result is the null string (if you try that URL in your
browser, you will that some text is returned). If I replace the curl_init
with
$ch = curl_init("http://www.cnet.com";);
I get the expected string in $result.
Any thoughts?

[PHP] Help with Configure Options
I am thinking of moving PHP-based web site to a new server. In doing my due diligence, I see that the new server has some different PHP configure options. I was able to make sense of most of them by looking through the PHP web site. But I'm still stumped by some of them. I'm hoping people here can tell me what they mean: --enable-libgcc: I found the 1-line explanation on www.php.net, but I'm unclear as to the implications of this option. Can anyone explain? --enable-pic: likewise. What does this mean? --enable-inline-optimization: ?? --with-regex=system: the online docs say this is deprecated. Could this cause me trouble? --with-flex: ? --with-png: I know what PNG is, but I don't know hat this option does. --with-layout=GNU: I see the explanation in the docs, but I don't know if this has any implications for me as a PHP programmer.

RE: [PHP] Help needed with hexdec();
I spent many frustrating days debugging a similar problem. I
don't understand exactly what is going on, but it seems that the
problems revolve around PHP's treatment of an integer as signed
or unsigned.
Through experimentation I determined that the way you specify an
integer constant (decimal or hex) with the sign bit on will
affect how PHP treats that integer.
Try the following: determine the signed decimal equivalents of
the two hex integers in your code & replace the hex
representations with the decimal "equivalents". So, if I'm
remembering correctly (please check my math), the line
if ($a > hexdec(""))
would become
if ($a > -1)
See if this makes a difference.

RE: [PHP] Keeping "Secrets" in PHP Files
Thanks for the reply. But changing the ground read permission of the PHP files wouldn't help, either, would it?

[PHP] Keeping "Secrets" in PHP Files
The recent thread on security has prompted me to think about security in a shared server environment. I want to see if my understanding is correct ... Let's say I am in a shared server environment & the provider does NOT have safe_mode turned on. In that case, it seems to me that it is "insecure" to keep "secrets" (e.g., DB passwords) in a PHP file that is executed by the server. I say this because any other users of that shared host can read the PHP file & obtain the secret. There does not seem to be any way around this (once again, I am assuming safe_mode is NOT turned on). Am I correct? -- JR -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

RE: [PHP] include_once("blah"); vs $blah="blah"; include($blah);
The examples in the online manual indicate that it is ok to use
the value of a variable for the file name:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.include.php
it also shows examples without the parentheses.
Looks like (yet another) PHP bug to me.
Maybe someone more knowledgeable can comment.

[PHP] PHP & Hex Numbers
I would think that if $a were a number that
echo $a;
and
printf('%d', $a);
would produce the same output. Is this correct?
Either I'm missing something, or PHP gets very confused when
dealing with some numbers. For example, the following program
produces
2654435769
-1640531527
I get the same kind of unexpected results when doing arithmetic
on such numbers.
Is this tickling some kind of known bug in PHP? or am I
misunderstanding something?

[PHP] Using Named Pipes
I'm trying to use a named pipe in PHP, but I have a feeling I'm misunderstanding something. I'm hoping someone might have some insight. Here's the basic outline of what I'm doing posix_mkfifo($argfile, 0600) $argp = fopen($argfile, "w+"); $command = "program $argfile"; $fp = popen($command, "r"); fputs($argp, 'data = ' . $post); $response = fgetcsv($fp, 1000); The named pipe is being created ok. But my page hangs while trying to read the response in the last line. Everything works fine if I replace the named pipe with a standard file. So it really seems that it is the use of the named pipe that is wedging me. Any thoughts? -- JR -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

RE: [PHP] newbie: redirecting a POSTed form
I think the CURL library
(http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.curl.php) is your best bet for
doing this, since you must need SSL (you mentioned credit card
authorization).
If the CURL library isn't compiled with your version of PHP, you
could use the CURL executable & invoke it with exec.

RE: [PHP] comment followed by ?> fails to parse
This seems to me to be inconsistent/buggy behavior on the part of
the PHP parser.
To be consistent, I would think that it would want to act like an
HTML parser (browser), which will recognize the first ?>,
regardless of where it occurs. The idea being that if the PHP
code is passed through a server that doesn't execute PHP, the
code will not appear display.

[PHP] Logging Errors to a File
I am using an Apache webserver w/ PHP provided by a hosting company & I can't seem to get PHP errors logged to a file. >From reading the docs, my understanding is that I need to set error_log to the name >of a file & set log_errors to on in the php.ini file (.htaccess, in my case). Is >this correct? I tried setting these two parameters in my .htaccess file. When I do a phpinfo() I see that error_log has been set, but the error_log value doesn't seem to change. It remains off no matter what I do. I'm wondering whether the hosting company may not allow this value to be overridden. Does this make sense? Any other thoughts? -- JR -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] fgetcsv With a String?
Is there any way that I can use fgetcsv, but have it get its input from a string, instead of using a file pointer? >From the online docs, there doesn't seem to be a way, but I thought I'd check with the list. -- JR -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
RE: [PHP] file_exists
Does fopen() actually work for https connections? I thought this
implementation was not yet released.

RE: [PHP] Re: Making a Client-side HTTPS Request
AHhh ... got it. If my ISP won't install CURL & they don't have the application, can I download binaries to my directory & execute it from there using PHP? or, does the executable have to run with special permissions? > -Original Message- > From: Austin Marshall [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Monday, May 06, 2002 1:35 PM > To: Jonathan Rosenberg > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [PHP] Re: Making a Client-side HTTPS Request > > > What i meant was the actual curl application is > installed on the server. > Accessible from the command line at, for example, > /usr/local/bin/curl > > With PHP you can execute commands via the command line > via system(), > exec() or via the backtick (for example > $output=`/usr/local/bin/curl > `;) operator. > > You also might be able to load the extension via dl() > and compile it on > your own, but i wouldn't recommend that. > > First try the command line option, then ask your ISP > to install then > extension. > > Jonathan Rosenberg wrote: > > I'm quite new to PHP (though I have lots of programming > > experience, web & otherwise). > > > > Where can I learn more about what "installed and > available from > > the command line" means? > > > > > >>-Original Message- > >>From: Austin Marshall [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > >>Sent: Monday, May 06, 2002 1:19 PM > >>To: Jonathan Rosenberg > >>Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > >>Subject: [PHP] Re: Making a Client-side HTTPS Request > >> > >> > >>Jonathan Rosenberg wrote: > >> > >>>I would like to be able to make a client side HTTPS > >> > >>request from > >> > >>>one of my pages.

RE: [PHP] Re: Making a Client-side HTTPS Request
I'm quite new to PHP (though I have lots of programming experience, web & otherwise). Where can I learn more about what "installed and available from the command line" means? > -Original Message- > From: Austin Marshall [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Monday, May 06, 2002 1:19 PM > To: Jonathan Rosenberg > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [PHP] Re: Making a Client-side HTTPS Request > > > Jonathan Rosenberg wrote: > > I would like to be able to make a client side HTTPS > request from > > one of my pages.

[PHP] Making a Client-side HTTPS Request
I would like to be able to make a client side HTTPS request from one of my pages. From searching around, I see that I can do everything I want using the CURL library. But the ISP I am using does not have the CURL library installed. I'll ask them if they'll install this library. But, assuming they don't, do I have any other options for doing what I want? -- JR -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
