Re: [PHP] PHP and curl
Unfortunately this isn't anything to do with PHP. I don't have any info on
the app, what it's supposed to return or what the parameter passed should
be. The PHP soap call is working, but the app isn't returning what you
want or expect I guess.

SOAP functions can be called as methods of the SoapClient object. Maybe:

Re: [PHP] php fopen https error
I thought I covered that. The bug was fixed 7 years ago. Upgrade PHP, I doubt there is a patch. I understand that not all coders or distributions will have the latest version of PHP, but come on, how many thousands of bugs have been fixed in 7 years? You're going to run into more. Alternatively you could try and suppress it. From the bug it sounded like it was only the warning that was the bug, so the code should work. I can't test because my PHP on CentOS is only 3 years old (5.3.3). $contents = @stream_get_contents($handle); On Wed, Sep 25, 2013 at 11:20 AM, Markus Falb markus.f...@fasel.at wrote: On 25.9.2013 17:12, Shawn McKenzie wrote: Just as I thought: 5.2.0 Fixed bug #39039 SSL: fatal protocol error when fetching HTTPS from servers running Google web server).

Hi Everyone
I am newbie enough with the terminology around PHP arrays that I am slow to
wrap my head around what I know is in the docs (what i am reading)... but
just can't identify yet.
I think it will be faster if someone can translate for me in terms of my
question:
I make an array by building up its members form the results of a db call,
like so:
foreach ($query-result() as $row) {
$arr_cTree[$row-cID] = array($row-cPcID, $row-cL, $row-cName,
$row-cSeg, $row-cSort);
}
I have that array's members' values displaying on an HTML page fine by making
recursive function calls to grab the children of each parent member found..
but the order those array members are displayed on the page is not what I
want (it seems to be displaying according to the order the rows are found in
the db). To remedy, I want to sort on the last value in the array which is
the value of each array member. (If I said that right.) IOW, I want to
sort my $arr_cTree array by the decimal values stored in $row-cSort
($arr_cTree[[4]), before I then display on the page.
Can someone point me to the array sorting function you think is suited to
this job.. and perhaps give me an example in pseudo code if that helps make
it more clear in this case.
Thanks!
-Govinda
The best option is to sort it in the query. But if for whatever reason
you sort it in the query for use one way and then need it sorted
differently later, then most likely execute another query with the new
sorting. If having tried that, and that's not what works, then use
array_multisort(). Pay attention to example #3 on php.net as this is
what you want.

Actually, you may construct your array as follows to make sorting with
ksort():
foreach ($query-result() as $row) {
$arr_cTree[$row-cSort] = array[$row-cID, $row-cPcID, $row-cL,
$row-cName, $row-cSeg, $row-cSort);
}
However you do it, look at constructing your array the way you need it
to easily sort, display etc.

Thank you, So, with your post you will probably get one or more replies suggesting every one of the popular frameworks and then several that suggest some lesser known ones. I think Zend looks great, but for many people (including me) it is overly complex and cumbersome. It is a very professional and standardised class library, but has no glue to put it all together for you. Also, it takes OOP to the extreme (for PHP anyway). Everything has abstract classes, interfaces and the like. CI is good from a lightweight, gives you something to build on perspective. I however prefer CakePHP. Its been around for a while, it can automatically build an app from just a well designed database and doesn't require configuration files in XML, YAML or what have you. The documentation is OK and could be much better. It really depends on what you want out of the framework.

You pass in $subjField but later try and use $subjectField. You pass in

Develop with:

Found a nice pair of docs from thesitewizard.com that appeared to be pretty well-written instructions on installing each of these systems. btw- I'm running XpSp2. Chose the Apache 2.0 and PHP 5.2 (thread-safe?) per the recommendations. Went thru all instructions step-by-step, testing all the way. Apache works - PHP doesn't. When I bring up IE and type in localhost I get the default apache page as I was told I should see. When I type localhost/test.php I get a windows dialog asking what program should run the php script. In debugging I went to a cmd windows and ran c:\php\php-cgi test.php and got the expected result from my script - so PHP works. End result - they each work separately, but php is not working under apache. As part of the docs instructions I added the following code to the apache conf file: 1 - I chose the configure apache to run php as an apache module. 2 - added LoadModule php5_module c:/php/php5apache2.dll as last one of those lines 3 - added AddType application/x-httpd-php .php as the last of those lines 4 - added PHPIniDir c:/php as the last line of the conf file. Upon adding these lines apache will no longer restart. In fact adding any ONE of these lines breaks Apache. Ideas welcome. And for those who still love the USofA, Happy Independence Day! You may need to add c:\php\ to the Windows path so that the Apache mod can find other files it may need. If you have mysql or other extensions enabled in php.ini, then they may be looking for another dll that is located in the php dir.

I've been trying to use the following approach, without success:

Obviously I'm not getting the $format line right, as the resulting $dt
values are empty. (I have previously used this reading process
successfully with better behaved date and time strings).

Thanks, Shawn, that's a bit more elegant! I'll give it a go. I didn't
know how to do the str_relace bit. Thanks
The deal is that if you use the / then strtotime interprets it as m/d/y
and if you use - it interprets it as d-m-y.

ncdump doesn't provide an option to suppress the header information,
and as you can hopefully tell, the data I'm looking for is in one long
string at key position 26.
How can I extract what I need from that (wmax) and have it as an
array: wmax = array(5, 5, ...)
This is only one variable. I will be pulling more variables out,
and they all come out the same way as above, as strings. The headers
might change, so I can't simply say ignore the first 0-25 keys and
expect what I need to be at position 26. I need a reliable way of
detecting where the data section starts. And I need to convert the
strings into arrays for each data set.
Suggestions?
Assuming that it is always the second to the last item, then:
$wmax = explode(', ', $output[count($output)-1]);
array_shift($wmax);
print_r($wmax);
--or to search for wmax =
if($array = preg_grep('/^ wmax = $/', $output)) {
$wmax = explode(', ', $array[0]);
}
array_shift($wmax);
print_r($wmax);
May need some more error checking.

Sorry, didn't have a way to test when I posted. So you've posted two
different expected outputs and I misread the first. You want a string
of only the coma separated numbers? If so:
if ($array = preg_grep('/^ wmax = /', $output)) {
$wmax = array_shift($array);
}
If you want to get rid of the wmax = or add the { } or whatever use
str_replace() and/or concat then on.

Depends. Could be as simple as this to return an array of all
occurrences of $needle in any of the $haystack_array values:
$haystack_array = array('something is here', 'nothing matches here',
'there will be a somethingsomething match here');
$needle = 'something';
$matches_array = preg_grep(/$needle/, $haystack_array);
Depends on where you are getting the search criteria and how you want it
to match in the array. BTW... If this is originally in a database then
you can do it there with the LIKE operator and % wildcard.

Your example would be good if the OP wanted checkbox'es. But with radio
buttons, the whole point (most of the time) is to have the form only allow you
to have one of the radio input fields selected at any given time. How you
showed it, it would not see the uniqueness of the radio button names, and
therefor allow more than one of the radio input fields to be selected at a
time.
One radio button of the same name selected at a time yes. From the OP's
code of two radios, one with value 0 and one with value 1, I assumed
these were to be a pair with the same name with only one able to be
successful. This extends to arrays as well:
input type=radio name=radio[] value=0
input type=radio name=radio[] value=1
input type=radio name=radio[555] value=0
input type=radio name=radio[555] value=1
This works as expected, the same as the code I posted.

So, I thought I'd see if I could spark some feedback to the following: 1.) Saving strings to a database Just use the proper escaping and save what is received: example: mysql_real_escape_string() or a addcslashes() for DBs without a comparable function or preg_replace() for those that escape differently: If you definitely don't want certain things then strip them: striptags() If you may need it then leave it. 2.) print/echo'ing string fields from a database. a. Allowing HTML? b. Not allowing HTML? Depends on whether you want to render HTML. If so, and you can trust it (you or a trusted source entered it) then do nothing. Otherwise if you want to show the HTML as source tags then: htmlentities() If you don't want it then strip it before insert or when displaying, your call: striptags() 3.) print/echo'ing string fields into form textareas. The textarea prevents HTML inside from being rendered and the form submit should automatically URL encode the data in the textarea so I don't see the need to do anything. 4.) Simply encoding strings to send over a GET request. Encode the values that you intend to pass: urlencode() 5.) Simply displaying strings from the $_REQUEST array. If you want to maybe show some HTML as source tags then: htmlentities() If you don't want HTML then strip it when displaying: striptags() 6.) string encoding for redirects Same as #4.

Yes, so maybe a simple preg_replace():
extract(array_combine(preg_replace('/^f_/', 't_', array_keys($_POST)),
array_values($_POST)));
You could also just replace with '' and then use the extract prefix of 't'.

Hi,

// main 'forever' loop - the '$shutdown' will
// be set to true via a signal handler
while(!$shutdown)

$a = new SomeClass();
$a-doSomething()
}
// shutdown logic.
The 'someclass.php' in turn will include other files (via require_once).
The above file will be executed directly from the shell. The main loop
could be listening to new requests via sockets etc..
Few questions:
1) Does opcode cache really matter in such cli-based daemons? As
'SomeClass' is instantiated at every loop, I am assuming it is only
compiled once as it has already been 'seen'.
I am not very clear on how apc (or eaccelerator) works in such cases.
2) What about garbage collection? In a standard apache-mod-php setup,
we rely on the end of a request-cycle to free up resources - close
file descriptiors, free up memory etc..
I am assuming in the aforesaid standalone daemon case, we would
have to do this manually? In the loop above, would it be better to
'unset($a)' explicitly at the end of it before
it goes to the next iteration?
Note: I have written pre-forker deamons in php directly and
successfully deployed them in the past, but never looked at in depth
to understand all the nuances. Anecdotally, I have
done 'unset()' at some critical places were large arrays were used,
and I think it helped. AFAIK, unlike Java, there is no 'garbage
collector' thread that does all the magic?

Any hope of something like // Get company where name='Widgets Inc.' or id=1 or $company = $db-get_company(name='Widgets Inc.'); // Get all clients joined to the company $clients = $company-get_clients(); // Get all projects joined to the client $projects = $clients-get_projects(); ? You may not want a full fledged framework, but I would recommend CakePHP. Now they have naming conventions for tables/columns, that if you follow, makes it sooo easy, but if you already have your schema built it can use that just as easily. Just run the cake script, enter db details, it will enumerate tables and columns and ask which are related by which keys and even let you enter validation rules etc. It then builds a skeleton app with all the models for your schema and will even generate test. -- Thanks! -Shawn http://www.spidean.com -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Hi everybody. I need to use exec() to run a background php script, but
it's not working properly. Take a look at this sample:
a.php
?
echo ' File A (1) ';
exec('php b.php output.txt ');
echo ' File A (2) ';
?
b.php
?
echo 'File B';
?
Try not use the short open tag. Use ?php

Hello,
Got a form that takes in data to enter in to a database. I want to
make it as secure and as invulnerable to sql injection and other
attacks as possible. I'm wondering if mysqli_real_escape_string or
stripslashes should be used or if the former does the latter. For
example, I have a name variable:
In general this is fine:
$name = mysqli_real_escape_string($DatabaseLink, trim($_POST['name']));
or should I do:
You need to do something like this only if magic_quotes are enabled on
your PHP installation, except you would stripslashes first:
if(get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {
$_POST['name'] = stripslashes($_POST['name']);
}
$name = mysqli_real_escape_string($DatabaseLink, trim($_POST['name']));
$name = stripslashes(mysqli_real_escape_string($dbc, trim($_POST['name'])));
Thanks.
Dave.

[PHP] Re: Multiple Access Question
On 07/07/2010 11:59 AM, tedd wrote: Hi gang: I have *my way* of handling this problem, but I would like to hear how you guys do it. Here's the problem -- let's say you have a database containing names and addresses and you want approved users to be able to access the data. As such, a user must login before accessing an editing script that would allow them to review and edit the data -- nothing complicated about that. However, let's say you have more than one user accessing the editing script at the same time and you want to make sure that any changes made to the database are done in the most efficient manner possible. For example, if two users access the database at the same time and are editing different records, then there's no real problem. When each user finishes editing they simply click submit and their changes are recorded in the database. However, if two (or more) users want to access the same record, then how do you handle that? Cheers, tedd I would load up the current db values at the beginning of the edit form and store them in the session. Then on the processing page look them up again and see if they match the session values. If not, then load the edit form again with a message that says the record has recently been updated by someone else. -- Thanks! -Shawn http://www.spidean.com -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Hi gang:
Considering all the recent parsing, here's another problem to consider
-- given any text, parse the domain-names out of it.
You may limit the parsing to the most popular TDL's, such as .com, .net,
and .org, but the finished result should be an array containing all the
domain-names found in a text file.
Cheers,
tedd
Not extensively tested:
$domains = array();
if(preg_match_all('/[A-Za-z0-9][-A-Za-z0-9\.]*?\.(com|net|org)/i',
$text, $matches)) {
$domains = array_unique($matches[0]);
