Re: [PHP] Off the wall - sub-domain question
So its indexing http://www.domain.com/subdomain/page.php and you would rather it index http://subdomain.domain.com/page.php. If that is the case then what Willie said holds true User-agent: * Disallow: /subdomain Place a robots.txt in the domain.com public root directory. To Googles indexer http://subdomain.domain.com/page.php and http://www.domain.com/subdomain/page.php are totally different and therefore blocking /subdomain will not affect subdomain.domain.com. Sign up for Google Webmaster and add two sites subdomain.domain and www.domain that way you can delete improperly indexed pages. Do some test scans and see if there are links on your www.domain that are linked to www.domain.com/subdomain rather then subdomain.domain.com On Thu, Aug 22, 2013 at 9:43 AM, Willie matthews.wil...@gmail.com wrote: The only way that I know of to take care of that is to put a file in your main directory called robots.txt.

1. There are no statement terminators. Lose your indentation for ANY reason and your program is well and truly screwed, in ways you can't imagine. 2. Python programs fail in the most ungraceful way I've ever seen in an interpreted programming language. 1. Indent properly. In php, if you put an open or close brace out of place your code will break in unexpected ways as well. If it's hard to tell if something is indented properly, your code should be refactored so that it is. 2. In my experience this has a lot to do with how some people use python and not python itself.

Both PHP and Java can be used server-side. I also realize that Java is used for native Android because I also teach Mobile Application Development (MAD -- I even coined the name). So, I am up to my butt in languages (and people who think different than me) -- I'm just trying to get documentation to back up my what I think I know. Well, technically any language can be used server side, it is all on how you set up your server, no? No. But since node.js I lack an example :D But of course you need the link between the language and the network. I would tend to think that the biggest out there, is html/php/javascript... and next to that, would be asp, and then java. Do I have proof of this? No, can I get proof, I doubt it, and are there stats on this? To be honest, in my opinion, that would be like asking how big is the internet?. It is virtually an immeasurable object. There are so many websites out there, that you can't search them all... Of course you cannot search them _all_, but again the link: http://w3techs.com/technologies/overview/programming_language/all There are good hints, how the internet looks like. For example a hoster can simply look at the products he sell. Services like w3techs.com use the reports from the server themself (in most cases the headers), or the file-ending (doesn't work anymore that good, since most sites hide them ;)) and extrapolate this. Of course they are not exact, but I think they show the direction quite accurate. PHP is simple, and yet powerful to use, and is pretty much the standard for all hosting companies. Now, there is this link... http://www.tiobe.com/index.php/content/paperinfo/tpci/index.html It shows Java as #1, and php as #5, but this is also for PROGRAMMING, does not specify web based programming vs desktop vs MAD (thanks tedd ;) ) so the numbers do not really speak out in this application. Also it is the Tiobe-Index. Although it is widely-referenced, the way it calculates their rankings is ... interesting. In fact it only tells you how loud a community around a specific language is. So for example maybe Java is #1, because it is so complex, that it leads to many questions in forums and on stackoverflow. Or PHP is only #5, because most communication is on IRC, or mailinglists. (disclaimer: Of course I faked this examples. Actually I have no idea how the communities around Java and PHP as a whole interacts primary, but I don't think, that they are all equal). I just think, that the Tiobe-Index has a completely different view on what is a popular language, than I have. Does it really matter? PHP is very huge, widely used, and I would even go so far as to say the 'norm' for website developers, and hosting providers. Nope, it doesn't matter :) But that is my $0.02, and for me, I have been with PHP for 7 years professionally, and in college I took VB.net, ASP.net, C++, JAVA and PHP.

Without giving me complicated examples, just give me one simple example that illustrates the advantage of using an interface over writing a new Class where you flesh-out whatever methods you want. After all, an interface requires the same thing, does it not? As such, I just don't see the advantage interfaces bring. Cheers, tedd Practical example, PSR-3: https://github.com/php-fig/**fig-standards/blob/master/** accepted/PSR-3-logger-**interface.mdhttps://github.com/php-fig/fig-standards/blob/master/accepted/PSR-3-logger-interface.md Say you're writing a stand-alone library, maybe a Twitter-connecting library. You want to be able to log stuff, but don't want to have to deal with opening log files yourself. You also want to allow your library to be used by people running Symfony, Code Igniter, Drupal, Zend Framework, or PHPBB, all of which have their own logging systems in place that may talk to syslog, a database, files on disk, or whatever. People using those frameworks don't want your library spewing log files all over their file system. Instead, you simply support the PSR-3 logging interface. You accept an object that implements that interface in your constructor, and then write to it. What happens on the other side? Who gives a damn! For your own testing, you can write a simple class that implements that interface and dumps log messages to disk. When someone uses your library with Symfony, they just pass in a Monolog object (the logging system used by Symfony), and your code is now logging errors to whatever they have Monolog configured to do. When someone uses your library with Drupal, they just pass in the Drupal Watchog logger object (which is being rewritten to use PSR-3 as we speak), and now your library is logging errors to Drupal's logging system (which could be syslog or a DB table, depending on how the user has their site configured). And you don't give a damn about any of that. All you care about is that you support any object that matches this interface. What that object does with the messages you send it, and where that object came from, you don't have to give a crap about. Now take that same concept and apply it at a smaller scale, within your own project. Swap out your database-based cache system for a memcache-based one. Your code doesn't change, because it's writing to an interface, not to the database. Swap out your data store with one that is used just for testing. Etc. That's what interfaces give you.

My problem is that there are a number of sites which are posing as search engines and which display my PDF files in their entirety on their own sites. These pirate sites are not simply opening a window that displays my files as they appear on my site. They are using Google Docs to display copies of my files that are cached or stored elsewhere online. The proof of that is that I can modify one of my files and upload it to my site. The file, as seen on my site, immediately displays the modification. The same file, as displayed on the pirate sites, is unmodified and may remain unmodified for weeks. It is obvious that my files, which are stored under public_html, are being spidered and then stored or cached. This displeases me greatly. I want my files, some of which have cost an enormous amount of work over many years, to be available only on my site. Legitimate search engines, such as Google, may display a snippet, but they do not display the entire file - they link to my site so the visitor can get the file from me. A little study has indicated to me that if I store those files in a folder outside the web root and use PHP to provide access they will not be spidered.

Morning all,
I've been having some fun with converting a text data file import into

I have a text file that is pipe delimited coming in via an upload. The
first row is the headers and the second row is the data.
Using this code:
$data = file(inline_Nov_8_2011.txt);
if(count($data)==2){
$keys = explode(|, $data[0]);
$fields = explode(|, $data[1]);
$combine = array_combine($keys, $fields);
$json = json_encode($combine);
}
After the combine, I get an array that looks like this
Array
(
['Legal Last Name '] = Andros
['Legal Middle Initial '] =
['Legal First Name '] = Marisa
['Maiden/Other Name '] =
['Social Insurance No. '] = 123456789
['Date of Birth '] = 2/1/1988
['Gender '] = Female
)
But the json encoded value looks like this (there are way more
elements but this should be enough to represent what I need to do).
{null:Andros,null:,null:Marisa,null:,null:123456789,null:2\/1\/1988,null:Female}
I have been googling for info about allowed values for the json keys,
but can't seem to find a clear doc on what is allowed and what isn't.
I have tried unquoted keys, replaced the spaced with underscores but
nothing I do seems to help.
When I echo out the json encoded data, the keys are all nulls.
Can someone point me in the correct direction? It may be that I need
to manually create the key names as an array first, which I was hoping
to avoid since the file format coming from the client is still in some
flux.
Just a thought: Try removing the spaces altogether, not by replacing
them with underscores.

Because you're combining the date with the day of the week. It so
happens that 1 March was a Tuesday, but today - 1 April - is a Friday.

Hi Dan
One method for this is to use URL Rewriting (which can be implemented on

Through URL Rewriting you can first make the following URL:
http://www.website.com/article-clean-url
http://www.website.com/article-clean-urlto internally behave as the
following:
http://www.website.com/index/user/ http://www.website.com/index/user/11
http://www.website.com/index/user/1and then you can use the same

We have a few applications and packages that require and/or will work better with PHP 5.2+. I understand that no matter what Linux distribution I have, I can always download the source, compile, and install manually. My question is, when The PHP Group develops, compiles, and tests PHP for a release, what distribution(s) and versions do they use? And of those, which distribution is the most commonly used throughout the development team? What Internet references are there, if any, that show the major and/or minor Linux distributions that support which version of PHP?

a few thoughts,

Sorry, failed to mention that I did this, and it says nothing.
2. for grins, maybe see if the TZ environment variable is set on your system
var_dump(getenv('TZ'));
I didn't post the phpinfo() output originally but had checked and no,
TZ isn't set.
3. another test would be to set date.timezone to something else and see if
date_default_timezone_get() returns that new value, which would indicate
it's falling through to the third option in the precedence chain.
AHA!
I had tried checking validity by setting a BOGUS time zone (which
showed that it was taking effect), but I had not tried checking by
setting an alternate VALID time zone.
Guess what? It works. If I set it to America/Denver, I get correct output.
Thus, something is corrupt in the timezone DB itself (which I believe
is internal to PHP from what I understand from the threads I've read).
America/Chicago is completely broken but America/Denver works just fine.
Incidentally, I have noticed that CentOS is completely broken in their
tz distro. Every time it updates, it includes a US/Central file that
is completely invalid. This has persisted for months--at the OS level
I've fixed it by copying in a valid US/Central file from another box.
But doing that does not fix PHP (tried that just now)--which again I'd
expect it not to anyway, since I believe PHP (as of PHP5) has an
internal timezone DB. But I tried it just in case.
So now I suppose the thread becomes: how do I get a valid US/Central
(America/Chicago) timezone in PHP5?
Thanks much,

That's really weird since I'm sure php has its own timezone db, and it sounds like that's where PHP is getting it if you saw the correct output after switching date.timezone to America/Denver. What about trying date_default_timezone_set() ? I had tried that originally too. It does set the timezone correctly, but then again so does the ini set. So the timezone does get set to America/Chicago with a date_default_timezone_set(), and then PHP shanks from there, showing UTC. It seems certain that the timezone *does* get set to America/Chicago (via multiple methods), and that America/Chicago *itself* is corrupt in PHP--and that's even with timezonedb installed. Now everybody knows Chicago is full of corruption, but at least the clocks aren't, right? Surely there are bizillions of others out there running this combination of software in the Central time zone! Yet it's as if nobody else has corrupt timezone DB records (be they internal or via timezonedb) except me. And I can't help but notice how CentOS (tzdata package) is also corrupt, every single time it gets updated, on the Central zone but no others. Obviously these should be entirely separate issues, but somebody out there has it out for the Central time zone. Probably a Yankees fan.

It's been a real struggle to be deploying something so old, yet CentOS insists on nothing but 5.1 in the packages unless you resort to some volatile repositories, which kind of defeats the purpose (in my case, that is). I used to always go with source directly but was really hoping to go the somewhat-brainless auto-update route, sticking to yum packages and all that. At risk of sending this thread too far down an OS-specific path, can anybody in the CentOS+PHP world comment on yum packages, 5.1, and this actual issue?

[PHP] time zone ignored (both via ini or in code)
Greetings,
I've looked through a number of different archived threads (some
rather heated) and samples as well, but clearly I'm just missing
something.
PHP 5.1.6
CentOS release 5.5 (Final)
My server is in Central Time (US). We do observe DST. I noticed
functions like strftime() display UTC time. So I undertook fixing
this.
I read several threads about setting date.timezone in php.ini, and
arguments for/against different timezone methods. But in my case I see
no reason why setting the timezone in php.ini would hurt us--we can
live with that. And yet:
[...@ez2 html 13:47:20]$ date
Mon Nov 1 13:50:05 CDT 2010
Good.
[...@ez2 html 13:50:05]$ grep -i timezone /etc/php.ini
date.timezone = America/Chicago
Good--and yes, Apache was restarted. So far, we're Central, life is good.
Let's hit PHP now:
?
if (date_default_timezone_get()) {
echo 'date_default_timezone_get: ' . date_default_timezone_get() . 'br /';
}
if (ini_get('date.timezone')) {
echo 'date.timezone: ' . ini_get('date.timezone');
}
echo Br;
$localtime = localtime();
$localtime_assoc = localtime(time(), true);
print_r($localtime);
print_r($localtime_assoc);
echo Br . strftime(%D %T %z %Z) . br;
?
Which produces:
date_default_timezone_get: America/Chicago
date.timezone: America/Chicago
Array ( [0] = 14 [1] = 51 [2] = 18 [3] = 1 [4] = 10 [5] = 110
[6] = 1 [7] = 304 [8] = 0 ) Array ( [tm_sec] = 14 [tm_min] = 51
[tm_hour] = 18 [tm_mday] = 1 [tm_mon] = 10 [tm_year] = 110
[tm_wday] = 1 [tm_yday] = 304 [tm_isdst] = 0 )
11/01/10 18:51:14 + UTC
Timezone is America/Chicago, yet date functions completely ignore this
and continue to display UTC.
Please help me understand where I'm blind here.
Thanks,
Dan

I've done initial testing on a Xeon 3220 server, but we're looking at an i7 cpu based server now. Anyone know a good way to estimate load based on actually numbers compared to benchmark results from intel on a faster server? -- -Dan Joseph www.canishosting.com - Unlimited Hosting Plans start @ $3.95/month.

Run a DDoS-style (but not legitimate DDoS attack) load-balance simulator against your site and see where the bottlenecks lie. The biggest problems are general filesystem writes (including sessions) and database queries. If you have multiple servers from which you can run test scripts, do that (preferrably from various networks). If not, do what you can with what you have.

It was a bit buggy (some dialogues didn't always work) and crashed more than it might have normally on Windows, but it was OK at a push to get work done. Nowadays I don't really do anything with Flash, as it's a pita to get it optimised for search engines, accessibility just isn't up to scratch, and it takes a lot longer to build a whole dynamic site with it. Yah, I'd never use it for a whole web site build either. Heck, probably wouldn't even use it for an image carosel. We were building games with it, which was really a no brainer to use flash.

[PHP] Math Question....
Howdy, This is a math question, but I'm doing the code in PHP, and have expunged all resources... hoping someone can guide me here. For some reason, I can't figure this out. I want to take a group of items, and divide them into equal groups based on a max per group. Example. 1,252,398 -- divide into equal groups with only 30 items per group max. Can anyone guide me towards an algorithm or formula name to solve this? PHP code or Math stuff is fine. Either way...

So 29819 by 42 (7*3*2) would be a route. Aha. Missed the 30 bit. So, having found the factors, you would need to process them to find the largest combination under 30. 2*3 2*3*7 2*7 3*7 are the possibilities (ignoring any number over 30). Of which 3*7 is the largest. So, 1,252,398 divided by 21 = 59,638 Is that the sort of thing you are looking for? Yes, that looks exactly what like what I'm looking for. I'm going to try and wake up the algebra side of my brain that hasn't been used in years and see if I can digest all this.

Re: [PHP] stat(), NFS shares and local files timeout

Re: [PHP] blog design issue...
Table is the way to go for all the reasons that Rob mentioned. This is going to be a small blog to start, but I guess I should always be looking at performance, security, maintainability right? Good way to start is start small and build a strong base around a good database, good performance practices and tight security you can then build the cool features as you see fit. Good thing about performance and security is that there are a ton of site that outline best practices which means you wont have to re-invent the wheel. GL

Re: [PHP] Change styling depending on var value
To add to what Ashley said about $row[3], remember that when you are returning from the db the counter for fields will start at 0 not 1, so if its the 3rd field that will be $row[2].

[PHP] sessions and email
All,
I am using sessions for my application to verify a user has logged in:
// Verify the user is logged in.
if (!isset($_SESSION['basic_is_logged_in'])
|| $_SESSION['basic_is_logged_in'] !== true) {
// If not logged in, redirect to the login page.
header('Location: login.php');
exit;
}
If anyone tries to go to any page in the application via the address bar,
they are correctly redirected to the login page.
However, if someone that is currently logged into the application using I.E.
goes to File - Send - Page by Email, the person they email the link to can
open it and use the application without logging in and the address bar uses
a local path like: C:\Documents and Settings\my_name\Local
Settings\Temporary Internet Files\OLK18\My Page (2).htm
How can I prevent the emailed pages from being able to access the
application if it is a local path or the user hasn't logged in?

[PHP] NULLS vs Empty result in PHP
Morning!
Just a quick question.
Say I have a column in my database that could contain NULLS, empty spaces,
or an actual value.
If I do:
$my_query = SELECT my_column FROM my_database WHERE 1 = 1;
$my_result = ifx_query($my_query, $connect_id);
while($row = ifx_fetch_row($my_result)) {
$my_column = trim($row['my_column']);
if ($my_column != ) {
echo Test;
}
}
The way PHP assigns the query results to the $my_column variable, wouldn't;
if ($my_column != ) not do anything for the rows that contained NULLS or
empty spaces?
Re: [PHP] Re: NULLS vs Empty result in PHP
using empty() is ´the right way to check a var for NULL or however, it also depends what MySQL has got as setuo definition for empty fields. on textfields u can define an epmty string as default. So say these are the first three results of my query: some text //The column actually has data //The column contains a series of spaces NULL //The column contains a NULL value As long as I trim() the result, if (!empty()) would skip any results where the column containsOR NULL, correct?
Re: [PHP] Date +30 comparison
I'm really struggling with dates in PHP. (Yes, I tried reading the
manual)...
Can someone provide code that does this:
Takes current date, assigns it to a variable (let's say $today)
Then adds 30 days to $today variable
Takes a string ($nexteval) like '8/26/2009' and compare it to $today.
The variable $nexteval must be greater than $today (which is today + 30
days) or a message is echoed.
I'm finding this difficult to do, but I'm coming from an ASP background.
Any help appreciated.
David,
Look up date() and mktime() in the manual.
To get today's date is easy: date('m/d/Y');
But when wanting to add days/months/years to a date, you need to use
mktime()
mktime() breaks apart a date into hours/minutes/seconds/months/days/years.
Therefore I always break up my date into these types fo sections.
$month = date('m');
$day = date('d');
$year = date('Y');
Now that I have them seperated I create a variable $future_date and assign
it the value I want. In your case, 30 days in the future.
$future_date = mktime(0,0,0,date($month),date($day)+30,date($year));
Now I put it back into a date format.
$future_date = date('m/d/Y',$future_date);
echo $future_date;
Today is September 1st and the value of $future_date is October 1st because
there are 30 days in Spetember.
Now you can compare your dates.
if ($nexteval $future_date) {
echo This date has already passed;
} else {
*do some processing*
}
Hope that helps.

[PHP] File Open Prompt?
Greetings,
I'm having a problem trying to get a file download prompt.
Basically I have a page with image links.
When the link is clicked, the user is directed to another page I have. That
page finds the image path based on the image ID from the previous page.
Once the image path is found I copy the image to the local webserver and
rename the proprietary extension, .0D9 to .tif
Once the file is renamed to .tif I want the download prompt to come up. You
know, where it says, Open Save Cancel.
I've tried using:
$fp = fopen($new_file,r) ;
header(Content-Type: image/tif);
while (! feof($fp)) {
$buff = fread($fp,filesize($new_file));
print $buff;
}
But that just gives me heiroglyphics on the screen instead of prompting the
user to download.
Here is my code that copies and renames the file:
if ($page != || $page != ) {
exec(xcopy .$page. .$topage.);
}
$orig_file = $topage.\\.$objectid..0D9;
//echo $orig_file;
$new_file = $topage.\\.$objectid..tif;
//echo $new_file;
rename($orig_file,$new_file);
Any ideas on how to make the browser give the download prompt for $new_file?
Thanks,
Dan
Re: [PHP] File Open Prompt?
You will need to add some headers to the page to popup the prompt, at least
with
these.
$filename = 'somefile.tif';
$filesize = filesize($filename);
header('Content-Type: application/force-download');
header('Content-disposition: attachement; filename=' . $filename);
header('Content-length: ' . $filesize);
Eric
I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I've tried:
header('Content-Description: File Transfer');
header('Content-Type: application/force-download');
header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($filename));
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=' . basename($file));
readfile($file);
AND
if (file_exists($new_file)) {
header('Content-Description: File Transfer');
header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename='.basename($new_file
));
header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary');
header('Expires: 0');
header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0');
header('Pragma: public');
header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($new_file));
ob_clean();
flush();
readfile($new_file);
exit;
}
But everything I do just sends heiroglyphics to the screen instead of giving
the download box.
Re: [PHP] Freeing Memory
How does that work considering that mysql_query() only
returns true or false on INSERT? I'd expect the script
to fail on $result not being a valid resource.
I don't know about mysql as I work with MSSQL Server and Informix, but for
me it works like this:
$insert = ifx_prepare(INSERT INTO my_table
VALUES ('0'), $connect_id);
ifx_do($insert) or die (Query failed);
ifx_free_result($insert);
By using PREPARE and DO to execute the queries it allows ifx_free_result to
release those resources.
Re: [PHP] Freeing Memory
How would you go about ensuring the memory is not exhausted when running a script ? I have a script, which to make it basic ... reads values from files, I create an array of values per file then with a foreach insert values into a table, I have added a line to echo the memory use after each array is done (after insert is done and the foreach is complete for the file) with: - echo Mem SQL: .memory_get_usage() . \n; It gave me this result below: Mem SQL: 8341312 Mem SQL: 8461856 Mem SQL: 8693440 Mem SQL: 9327008 Mem SQL: 9798952 Mem SQL: 10238392 Mem SQL: 10604776 As can be seen the mem usage simply grows, I have added a line after each iteration of the foreach is complete to unset the vars and array ... thinking this would basically clear up the allocated memmory used by the array ... and it would start at 0 again for the next array looped, but obviously this is not quite the answer. The question is then how do you clear memmory then ? I don't know what version of SQL you are using, but I have found that using: mysql_free_result($result); mssql_free_result($result); ifx_free_result($result); Helped my queries run much faster and use less resources. I had something similar to your script where I would read lines from a huge file and then insert the contents into my database. Before adding the above the process would take 20-30 minutes. After freeing the results after each insert my script completed in about 5-8 minutes. Just add that within your foreach loop after you execute your query that inserts the info. Hope that helps. Dan

Also, you have a semi colon before and after the ending quote.

Well, are you opposed to using Javascript?

function searchLetter(letter) {
document.my_form.letter.value=letter;

}

//You could make a hidden form field to store the value of the letter

/form
//Perform your query and search only for the letter if it isn't blank.
?php
$selected_letter = $_POST['letter'];
if ($select_letter != ) {
$sql = SELECT DISTINCT name FROM restaurants WHERE name LIKE
'$letter%' GROUP BY name DESC;
}
?
//Print out all your letters
?php
$alphabet = range('A', 'Z');
foreach ($alphabet as $letter) {
?
//Have the links call a javascript function that updates the letter selected
and resubmits the form to perform your new query
a href=javascript:searchLetter('?php echo $letter; ?')$letter/a

Something like that. I haven't tested any of that code just typed it up real
