[PHP] MySQL -- finding whether there's a transaction started
Hello list, I'm developing a library and would need to know if the code calling my library has already started a MySQL transaction or not. I want to know whether I should start one or use savepoints instead -- starting a transaction if one is already in progress commits the existing transaction, and setting a savepoint silently fails outside transactions. And I was unable to find any non-destructive way of retrieving that information -- is there any?

[PHP] Finding current PHP sessions
Hello all, I guess this comes up once in a while, does anybody know how I can find the current PHP sessions' IDs? I don't mind if some have passed away, and the PHP gc hasn't run yet, because I'm doing a garbage collection of my own, for data identified by session ID -- it doesn't really matter if I keep a few obsolete files for a while, it only matters that I delete them at some point in the future. I know I could read the session files themselves, but I'd very much rather use a proper way to retrieve the active sessions, which would work with alternate methods of storing session data, if there is any such proper way to do this. I read the PHP documentation regarding sessions, and I checked out Google, with no luck.

Given that your purpose is for the images to be difficult to hijack, doesn't this serve your interest? :) The problem with IE is that it's developed by Microsoft. The same way Microsoft didn't recognize magic for detecting the file type (and used extensions instead), it now doesn't use MIME types (and uses extensions instead). Never tried it, but I would assume that serving an image along with the proper headers and with a .txt extension to IE will result in saving it as text. So basically it's an IE thing. What you can do, if you really need to, is serve the images as img src=/showpicture/xx.jpg and parse the xx out of it in showpicture.php.

Re: [PHP] Re: goto label
Justin Patrin wrote: Robert Cummings wrote: Goto line number is a very broken way of coding. Goto label is a very useful and structured way of coding especially when creating fast FSMs for parsing. I was a little disappointed a few months ago when I found that PHP didn't support the goto label syntax since it would have provided the most elegant solution. goto anywhere is broken. For instance, goto-ing out of loops and functions, or into one function from another causes untold grief to the language developer and makes it very hard to read the code. Then there's using goto into and out of class functions, which is even worse. In truth, goto has no place in a higher level programming language. Anything that can be done with goto can be done without it and (IMHO) more elegantly. Robert, I know your grief, been there, I know how it feels. I started my childhood with BASIC, which was /the/ GOTO programming language, learned Turbo Pascal when I was a teenager, and continued to use GOTO's (Pascal discourages but doesn't disallow GOTO's, so I was still able to cheat when there was a need for it). Well, later on when I started finding out how major projects are being developed, what structured programming really means and so on, I felt the way you feel now: cheated. Why in God's name is GOTO bad? It's SO useful! They're mad! Well, it simply isn't true -- the problem is that you have to change your mindset about programming, try to really structure the way you see a program, break it into efficient stand-alone functions, group those in classes, etc, and you'll see that there *is* no need for GOTO, ever. You do need to break out of loops, you do need to short a loop when a condition is met, you do need to break out of switches, if branches and the lot - but those tools you have in PHP. GOTO is not needed and harmful. Even simply learning to program without GOTO will coerce you into saner code.

This list has helped me out alot and I hope it can do it one more time.
I need to build a MySQL query based on 11 different options from a form.

How I thought about going at it was using a default query string and add
additional strings to the default string based on results of the form.
$query_str = SELECT * FROM listings WHERE id 0 ;
if ($garage != ) {
$garage_str = AND garage = '$garage' ;
//add $garage_str to $query_str//
}
This would continue through all eleven options then produce a query string
with all included query options needed. Can this be done this way? If so,
how do I add a string to a string?
Thanks,

To answer the question, $query_str.= AND garage = '$garage' ;
BUT. If $garage is an id (numeric), then you should use
$garage=abs($garage) first in order to defeat SQL injection. If it's a
string, well, say so and we'll tell you what to do (a lot to explain,
and not useful if it's an ID).

This isn't really a regular expression question, since you'd use an

A function should be easy: just loop 8 times over spitting out a random

Well, you have three solutions. One, you finish it the way you started, in which case you'll need to use htmlspecialchars() on $out in the form (otherwise you'll almost certainly escape from the form tag sooner or later). Two, you store the data temporarily in a database or something (faster for the user, they don't get to download the data twice). Three, you re-generate this page on request. This is what I would do, personally: I would link to the same page, only sending some parameter (e.g. xls_output=true).

I'm not sure this is actually worth the trouble -- you could try checking out Lynx and wget. While wget knows about HTTP authentication, I don't think you can make it understand the cookies stuff.

Re: [PHP] Re: IE download problem
Ok, the last resort solution would be to use Mozilla, download
LiveHeaders (check on Google) and see what headers a regular Apache
sends when serving a regular JPG file. That's what I do when I have
header problems... HTH

is registered as being associated with a given program (i.e. .txt with

[PHP] Re: Instant timeout
Do you have this problem (your PHP page times out) or do is this the
desired result? For the latter, you've been answered, for the former it
might be a core error in your code which PHP can't handle -- in this
case the results are unpredictable, I typically get a document contains
no data error, but I guess you could also get a time out, depending on
the web server and its version. If this is the case, make a copy of the
script and start chopping out pieces from it until you don't get the
error anymore. The last chunk you deleted contains the problem. :)

Oh, yes, this is a big one, you must reset the whole state power grid. :) Simply restarting Apache should do it. Check if your problem doesn't come from somewhere else - how are you checking if the changes took effect? Also, are you sure you're editing the proper php.ini and not some older install's or a backup or something? Check by setting some self-evident setting in php.ini and restarting Apache. Also, if you're sending the data to a database, make sure it's not the database who's barfing due to its own config settings or limitations.

Vince Lamonica wrote:
Hi all,
I wish to use fwrite() to create a small PHP file. So far, when I attempt
to do this, php parses the contents of the file that fwrite needs to
create. Eg, I have this:
$new_id = mysql_insert_id();
// create brand new file
$new_file = fopen(/var/www/html/$sitename/$submitted_url, w);
$new_file_content = \n
. ?php \n
. if ($_GET['preview'] == \y\) { \n

readfile(\http://www.foo.bar/${'sitename'}.display?${'sitename'}id=$new_idpreview=y\);

. readfile(\http://www.foo.bar/${'sitename'}.display?${'sitename'}id=$new_id\); \n
. } \n
. ?;
write($new_file, $new_file_content);
fclose($new_file);
Note that $sitename is defined earlier in the script.
I know that $new_id and $sitename get expanded, as I tried this:
$new_file_content = hello world. Look at my ${'sitename'}.display and my $new_id;
and the new file was created with the above text and the two vars
expanded. My problem lies in the fact that I need to put ?php tags
inside the contents of $new_file_content. I'm not sure how to do that w/o
generating lots of errors. As you can see in my above example, I've tried
to escape the double quotes, but that didn't seem to help. PHP insists on
processing the if line instead of ignoring it.

I have put all 5 banners on a page my themselfes, renamed the file to

$micro = doubleval($time[0]);
$sec = doubleval($time[1]);
return $micro + $sec; }
$start = mtime();

$end = mtime();
$total = $end - $start;
echo Total script execution time: $total;

Why would you say that? While technically true that only one query can be executed per mysql_query(), you still have to worry about SQL Injection. Yes, they can't inject their own SQL queries, but they could affect the ones you issue. They could add a OR 1 onto a select, causing it to return all rows from a table and possibly let them view data they shouldn't. Or, they can do the same thing on an UPDATE and provide their own values. It's still something to be aware of and program against. ---John W. Holmes...

[PHP] Re: writing uploaded file to another drive on another network?
No, it's not stupid - I don't know why you may need this but as long as you need it... Anyway. It would be interesting to know what OS you're using on both ends of the connection. If they're both *nix machines, it's rather simple. You typically copy the uploaded file from the temporary location to their final destination on upload. You might as well copy them to a remote location instead using system calls, such as scp. Setting up scp to not require command line authentication is done as follows: web_serv$ ssh-keygen -t rsa web_serv$ scp .ssh/id_rsa.pub remote_serv: remote_serv$ cd ~; mkdir .ssh remote_serv$ cat id_rsa.pub .ssh/authorized_keys2 remote_serv$ chmod -R go-rwx .ssh; rm id_rsa.pub web_serv$ ssh webserver (running as apache on both machines) This is the cleanest method I can think of. There are lots of in-between solutions, but I guess the last resort (ugliest) solution would be having an Apache server on the receivng end as well, and using whatever method to send the files via HTTP (Curl, home grown function to build a POST request or one of the zillions of similar libraries freely available). After all, you could even have the form on the web server directed to your local machine running Apache, and upon receiving the file you could perform a redirect via HTTP back to the web server. Just my 2c.

[PHP] Re: Fw: printf %d
No big deal, mate. Here, let's take a look at the PHP printf() manual
page. If you don't know how to reach it, go to http://www.google.com/,
type php, click on I'm feeling lucky, and in the resulting page type
printf in the search box (hint: top right) - complex, but not science
rocket. Anyway, looking at the printf manual page, we notice it says
void printf ( string format [, mixed args])
Produces output according to format, which is described in the
documentation for sprintf().
Hummm, not much to go on. BUT, upon closer inspection, we may notice a
reference to this other function: sprintf. The PHP team is a bunch of
nice guys, and they even spare us the effort of typing sprintf in the
search box: they provide us with a direct link in the very text of the
page! Should you miss that, they even provide a duplicate in the See
also section. Try clicking on either - they take you to the same place,
and, behold, the answer to your question is indeed there.
If you had the patience to go through this e-mail (took you MUCH longer
to read this than actually do it yourself), then you should also take
the time to read this piece:
http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html - it'll save you
time and ridicule in the future. If you're too busy to go through the

Hi Krishnan! I never tried using shared memory functions in PHP, but the problem is interesting in itself, and I do have a potential interest in the issue myself.

Here, read this and the two subsequent replies: http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.shmop.php##10524 Again, I never used these functions myself, so I may be speaking nonsense here - if anyone knows better, I'd also be glad to hear it! :) Regards, Bogdan Krishnan wrote: Hi all, I am new to PHP and would like the expert opinion of this forum on something that I am trying to do I have about 500K entries (name,value pairs) for which I want ti implement a very fast lookup.

Instead I am thinking of loading these entries in shared memory on each (Apache) web server and look it up from my PHP script.

Going through the PHP Documentation, I find 2 sets of functions: 1.shm_attach,shm_put_var,shm_get_var etc. 2. shmop_open,shmop_write,shmop_read etc. Which set of functions is the correct one to use (I am running PHP 4.1.x) Ideally, I'd like to implement a hash (to use a PERL term) in shared memory that is accessible from PHP.

Please remember that since the trailing slash will be included in every

be empty! (otherwise you'll end up with a double slash at the beginning
of every URL)

[PHP] Object methods - memory usage?
Hello! Ok, this is probably a very stupid question for someone who knows how these things work internally - but I don't, therefore I ask. :) When I instantiate an object, do the methods get instantiated as well? The question is asked memory-wise, not functionality-wise. More to the point, if I instantiate many identical objects with no class variables of their own but with many methods, will I get memory used up for the methods? If I were to guess, I'd say no extra memory is used for the methods since I don't think you can dynamically redefine class methods, so there would be no reason for duplicating them instead of simply referencing the class definition - but then again, I don't know how PHP works internally...

I don't know about the memory, but I think the recommended way would
be your first choice because you might want to redefine method jk() in

I think it's better optimised.

You'll have to do it the hard way if you need that functionality - i.e.
open a port on the remote machine (port 80), build a http query, send it

send whatever browser identification, require certain languages, manage
the transfer etc.

Justin is right, there's no guarantee the referrer will be set. What you
can do however is have a common pre-registration page you link to from
everywhere on the site - and set some variable there to acknowledge they
came from the site - and give members the direct address to the
registration page.
What I wonder is how could a non-referred user be confused with a
referred one - doesn't the referred one have some kind of variable in
the URL which identifies the referer (i.e. isn't each referer being
given a customized URL to pass to his/her referees?!).

Hi there,
I have a tricky problem which I honestly think is not possible to solve.
However maybe I am wrong.
As you all know it is possible on php.net to pass a function name just
behind the adress (e.G. php.net/function-name) this will redirct to the
propper page. I did the same thing with member sites (e.G
server.com/member-name) Now I am starting a referrer programm. Every
member
who follows a link like from anywhere on the net and registeres will be
tracked and the referrer gets a point. Now I did forget that I do have
several of this links on my site itself :-) Which means that they have
been
aquired on my site by accident :-)
My question is how can I make sure that they do come from outside and
are
not surfing my site already. I do set a coockie as soon as someone
enteres
this adress, but it would be fantastic if I could do a if statement on
something to make sure he does not come from my own site. I would like
to
keep all the links like that, just to find a way to track the origin of
the
user.
Thank you so much for any idea on this tricky task,

[PHP] Re: Adding shadow effects to Images
If you need real shadow effects (i.e. if the image data itself should contain the shadow), you can follow the suggestion below but using GD to achieve the effect by concatenating images. If you're looking for a solution to *display* the thumbnails in the page, then this is what I would do: I'd create the shadow of a rectangle in any imaging software, with the appropriate blur size and transparency for the given situation (depending on thumbnail size and background color/pattern, respectively). Then I'd create a new layer to mask the undesired portion of the shadow (a placeholder for the actual thumbnail in effect), select it and use the selection to trim the shadow. I'd now have a mirrored L-shaped shadow mask. I would now determine where exactly do the corners end and where the continous linear parts begin (to the pixel, by deeply zooming in). Now all I'd have to do would be to trim the five areas which are different (three corners, a vertical and a horizontal patch) and I'd save those as five distinct files - and then use tables to display them around each thumbnails. The corners would be TDIMG SRC=top_right.png/TD and the vertical and horizontal ones would be TD BACKGROUND=horizontal.pngIMG SRC=spacer.gif/TD. You'll obviously have to make sure that the corner images match their width/height with the respective backgrounds.

Re: [PHP] Image library
That was my original idea - and to take things to extremes, you might even want to recurse directories: using only a couple of recursiveness levels (1-1000/1-1000/1-1000.jpg) would ensure 1 bil. files without getting more than 1000 in any singe directory. The really nice thing about this approach is that you can start with a single level and in the unlikely event you get more than 1 mil. (you wish! :)) then you can add another in no time, with a down time of probably ten minutes. In a slightly different train of thoughts, since this approach is so flexible, I'd recommend going for 500 files per directory - that's a limit which guarantees no slowdown. (And yes, I've read Jay's argument, but I have heard so many counter-arguments throughout time that I personally prefer to stay on the safe side - it's no big deal after all). Just my 2c, obviously.

I'm not very proficient with e-mail configuration, so if someone finds I'm saying something wrong, don't think twice before correcting it. AFAIK, you can create an alias typically in /etc/aliases - or /etc/sendmail/aliases, as I've heard for newer versions of sendmail. In any case, the file has to be there already because that's where you have the root/webmaster/postmaster aliases defined. Add a line reading stocks: | /usr/bin/php /path/to/your/script.php I'm not sure if sendmail should be restarted after this, so you'd better do it just to make sure. You'll obviously need root access to do these. After this point, you don't anymore. In /path/to/your/script.php, you'll receive the whole e-mail message from standard input, so you'll have to check out those functions here http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.commandline.php Then all you have to do is parse the incoming mail message - I'm sure you'll be able to google out plenty of functions/classes to do that - drop me an e-mail if you don't find any and I'll send you mine.

use a database instead, for that matter.
Anyway, just in case you *really* want to use your original code, the
problem is that the code (probably) finds the line to delete but doesn't
go any further than that - plus it's consuming unnecessary resources by
rewriting the file line by line.

Hello all,

You have to use == instead of =
print made it past substr!br\n;
$TrackName = trim(substr($string,strpos($string,.)+1));
}
The problem is that it never gets past the substr in the if(...)
statement, therefore never setting $TrackName.
I am really lost on what to do, any help would be appreciated.
Thank You,

[PHP] Re: Can someone explain this please...
Hi!
I don't know why it doesn't because it really should ALWAYS evaluate
true with your code, regardless of absolutely anything.
The reason is that the quoteless 777 you're comparing to is in decimal
and it would defy math if you were ever able to get $perms==777. Anyway,
it does evaluate true on my computer and does delete that dir.
You might want to try this:
?
$newpath = ./uploads/newdir/;
if (!is_dir($newpath)) mkdir($newpath, 0666);
$perms = fileperms($newpath) 0777;
if ($perms != 0777)
{
rmdir ($newpath);
}
?
Please be aware though that in typical conditions your permissions are
masked, therefore you're not going to be able to create directories with
0777 permissions via PHP without tweaking your PHP config.

This will not delete the dir created with $newpath.
It will only work if i change this
if ($perms != 777)
into this
if ($perms != '777' ) // Please note the single quotes around 777
Could someone tell me why it behaves like this?
Cause if for example i do this
$foo = 1;
if ($foo == 1) //will evaluate as true, so why not with the above?
Thanks a lot in advance for your time and help!

Hummm, sorry, you're right, you're converting it do a fake octal via
strings, I was wrong in my first paragraph. In any case, if it helps, on
my comp it really does evaluate true.
