[PHP] Problems with imagecreatefromjpeg ?
Good day, I'm having a problem working with an image that I've made with imagecreatefromjpeg. Here's the code: $in_file = IMG_0050.jpg; echo Testing for image .$in_file.BR /\n; $image = imagecreatefromjpeg($in_file) || die(Failed to create image from file. BR\n); echo Resource ID: .$image.BR\n; echo Image width: .imagesx($image).BR\n; It reads in the file OK and prints out 1 as the Resource ID, as expected. However, imagesx fails with: imagesx(): supplied argument is not a valid Image resource in the_program_location on line 9 The resource ID was returned from imagecreatefromjpeg, so, I have no idea why it's not valid. The image in question displays fine in Mozilla, etc, if that matters at all- and it's also a fairly large image, if that matters at all too. Other PHP functions that work with the image resource fail in the same way. This is on 4.3.3 / FreeBSD 5.1, built from the ports collection . I have also tried this on Red Hat 9, with a similar failure. Here's my phpinfo()'s configure: './configure' '--enable-versioning' '--enable-memory-limit' '--with-layout=GNU' '--with-zlib-dir=/usr' '--disable-all' '--with-regex=php' '--disable-cli' '--with-apxs2=/usr/local/sbin/apxs' '--with-bz2=/usr' '--enable-calendar' '--enable-ctype' '--with-curl=/usr/local' '--enable-dba' '--with-dom=/usr/local' '--with-dom-xslt=/usr/local' '--with-dom-exslt=/usr/local' '--enable-exif' '--enable-ftp' '--with-gd' '--enable-gd-native-ttf' '--enable-gd-jis-conv' '--with-freetype-dir=/usr/local' '--with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local' '--with-png-dir=/usr/local' '--with-xpm-dir=/usr/local' '--with-gdbm=/usr/local' '--with-gettext=/usr/local' '--with-iconv=/usr/local' '--with-imap=/usr/local' '--with-imap-ssl=/usr/local' '--with-inifile' '--enable-mbstring' '--enable-mbregex' '--with-mcal=/usr/local' '--with-mcrypt=/usr/local' '--with-mhash=/usr/local' '--with-mime-magic=/usr/share/misc/magic.mime' '--with-mysql=/usr/local' '--with-ncurses=/usr' '--with-ldap=/usr/local' '--with-openssl=/usr' '--enable-overload' '--with-pcre-regex=yes' '--enable-posix' '--with-pspell=/usr/local' '--with-readline' '--enable-session' '--enable-sockets' '--enable-tokenizer' '--enable-xml' '--with-expat-dir=/usr/local' '--with-xmlrpc' '--enable-xslt' '--with-xslt-sablot=/usr/local' '--with-zip=/usr/local' '--with-zlib=yes' '--prefix=/usr/local' 'i386-portbld-freebsd5.1' I have a feeling that I am missing something simple, but I don't know what it could be.

[PHP] Problems with php.net
Good day, This is a bit off-topic for the list, but, I'm not sure where else I can send this. The search function on php.net appears to be broken. One can search through the function list, but any query via whole site or online documentation returns no results. I tried to send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED], the address posted on the site for this sort of thing. However, my message eventually bounces back to me, with the php.net qmail deamon stating that it can not confirm that my address was valid. I presume that there is some sort of system that replies to me to confirm that my return address is valid, but this also appears to be broken, as no such e-mail is ever received. If anyone can pass this along, or even suggest where this could be sent, that would be great. This problem has been present for a couple of weeks now, at least.

[PHP] PHP socket connections with SSL
Good day, I'm trying to create a PHP app to connect to a remote port that uses SSL. According to the documentation for fsockopen() ... As of PHP 4.3.0, if you have compiled in OpenSSL support, you may prefix the hostname with either 'ssl://' or 'tls://' to use an SSL or TLS client connection over TCP/IP to connect to the remote host. I don't see a 4.3.0 version available for download. The CVS changelog refers to a 4_3 branch someplace, so I presume I could get this feature by compiling from CVS, but there are a number of other applications that upgrading could break so I'd like to try to avoid using CVS if possible. Is there any other way to do this via PHP, other than calling stunnel via a shell command and using fsockopen to the unencrypted endpoint? I have Googled and searched though the PHP site, but I haven't come up with anything else. I don't need to supply a client certificate, if that helps any...

RE: [PHP] mcrypt
Good day, i started using crypt() then changed to mcrypt() which was not any good cause of the high ascii characters then i read about converting the high ascii characters to hex . Is this the ideal way to encrypt passwords or is their something better. The crypt() function will generate a standard UNIX crypt password that other programs can understand. UNIX crypt has some limitations (only using the first 8 characters is the major one) but it's good enough for most people and is probably the most widely supported. If you want something stronger, you can use md5(). The examples on php's documentation for this function should help you if you're interested in having other programs use it (to have it the right format and length).

RE: [PHP] gd project question
Good day, Wow, a high school math question. You should use asin() and acos() of the angle to get the y and x differentials, respectively. Multiply the result by the size of the needle. This assumes that your guage is oriented horizontally, and the needle sweeps from right to left, pointing upwards. Adjust the sign or switch the functions around if your gauge is different. Note that the functions operate in radians (2*pi radians == 360 degrees).

Good day,
Just to clarify, Perl will, in fact, complain if you have undefined
variables (or variables that you use once) if you have
warnings and/or
strict mode in effect. Using at least one is strongly recommended.
In PHP, the method you're using for getting form data is
deprecated. You
should use $HTTP_POST_VARS or $_POST, depending on your
version. Check
the
docco for more info on those.
If you really have to check variables using this method,
use isset() to
see
if the variables ... have been set. =)

Subject: [PHP] Undefined variables
I have an annoying problem, that I know is my own ignorance
to PHP. I came
from PERL and this was not a problem there but is with PHP.
Here's the issue.
I have a number of scripts that use a index.php?Task='some
sort of task
name', for example, http://www.foo.com/index.php?Task=ShowVersion
http://www.foo.com/index.php?Task=ShowVersion . Then I use
an if/else
statement to tell the script what to do if it sees the
ShowVersion variable.
In the ShowVersion example, I would call a function that
displays the
version information I defined in the script. As a back up, I
always provide
an else statement to catch variables I have no functions for.
If I have a ShowVersion function, GetData function and a
CreateImage
function and the Task variable is empty or a variable that
does not exists
comes in like http://www.foo.com/index.php?Task=SomethingDumb
http://www.foo.com/index.php?Task=SomethingDumb it
would go to the
default function of something by using the ELSE part of
the if/else
statements.
I hope I am describing this correctly.now here is the
problem. If I have
warnings turned on, or if I have a log written for warnings,
the log fills
up if someone goes to http://www.foo.com/index.php
http://www.foo.com/index.php or http://www.foo.com
http://www.foo.com
will error messages like undefine variable TASK on line
255. I understand
the reason, that PHP was expecting the variable Task when
it got to the
if/else statements. So I put in something like if(!($Task))
{ function
Something(); } but it still is looking for the variable so it still
errors.
In Perl, it would simply be ignored. What do I do here.
Here is a simple example of the code.
if ($Task == ShowVersion) { function ShowVersion(); }
elseif ($Task == GetData) { function GetData(); print
$DataOutput; }
elseif ($Task == CreateImage) { function CreateImage(); }
else { print Incorrect Variable or no Variable Suppliesbr; }

[PHP] Entering password on a command line
Good day, I have a command-line PHP script that connects to an LDAP database and does some queries. To increase security, I would like to not put the bind password into the program, and instead have the user type it in. But, I'd like to have this done so that the password is not echo'd to the screen. Lots of searching has shown that people have done something similar in C and Perl by closing the stdout channel. But, I haven't found anything similar in PHP (and I would need to reopen the channel again somehow afterwards anyway). Does anyone have a suggestion on how this might be accomplished?

[PHP] Web hoster solution?
Good day, A friend of mine has been asked to set up a simple website for a third party, which will be used by visitors to order products. She has been programming for a little while now, but, she doesn't have much experience with other web hosting companies (and neither do I, really). I know that some hosters provide shopping cart programs with their packages, which would probably make things much easier. She's also willing to try to install something PHP-ish (or even in ASP) if that's not an option. The site wouldn't have a lot of visitors- 1000 a month, tops, so there isn't much need for a lot of bandwidth. And, other than this purchasing interface, their needs are pretty basic, so a low cost is probably the most important thing. What would people here recommend? I know that this question has been asked before, but her needs are a little bit simpler than the average PHP'er on this list. =) Thanks, Darren Gamble Planner, Regional Services Shaw Cablesystems GP 630 - 3rd Avenue SW Calgary, Alberta, Canada T2P 4L4 (403) 781-4948 -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

RE: [PHP] Nasty DoS in PHP
Good day, Just reading this thread, figured I would put my $0.02 in. This is apparently a known problem. It seems to occur whenever the php script uses lots of memory, actually, and it does the same thing whether it's run standalone or as a module. I first experienced it when I had a PHP script load a 10 meg LDAP database into memory, which took some 90 Megs of RAM to do (overhead, I guess). If I ran the script standalone, it wouldn't quit right away. If it was run as a module, Apache would have to kill the child off (it logged this activity) if I asked Apache to shut down. If I ran the script a few times, all of the memory of the machine would be used up, and I'd have to kill off Apache to get it back.

RE: [PHP] chown ..opperation not permitted
Good day. As you've probably surmised, chown needs to be run as the root user, even if the file or directory in question is owned by the user wanting to make the change. Setting up sudo access should work properly. Ensure that the service is actually running as nobody and not another unprivileged user. However, it should be mentioned that this is a very, very insecure method! The chown operator was designed more for PHP command-line scripts that would be run as another user. You may want to re-evaluate why you are changing ownerships of directories from a web page, and determine if there is a safer, more secure way of doing what you want.

The problem is that when I call the Exit(); function the whole program is
aborted. How can I quit just the current function, not the whole program ?
example
Function One()
{
If (!$var) { Exit(); }
}
Function Two();
{
One();//This line kills the program
Print(Hello); //This is not printed =(
}
/example
TIA,
__

RE: [PHP] Really slow include
Good day, The include/require path is relative to the filesystem as seen by the web system user, not the web root. It's designed this way so that you can put your include files someplace where users can't fetch them, which is a recommended practice. So, if your web root is /usr/local/www on your filesystem , then you could say: require(/usr/local/www/header/html). If you don't put in a leading slash, it will look in the current directory. What you were doing in your second example is asking PHP to look in the file under your root directory.

This works fine as long as I stay in the main folder /htdocs where the header.htm file is. The problem lies when I go any deeper. I tried replacing the link with: ? require (/header.htm) ?

This does work but it's so amazingly slow. Even on my cable connection it will take 20-30 seconds to load this. I've switched back and forth between require and include with no change in speed.

RE: [PHP] How is code in PHP interpreted,from 1st line to last? i do nt think so
Good day, No, there is no real way in HTML to have this work. You would be best off looking at WHY you need the image to be done first, and change your programming appropriately to take into account how HTML works. A very messy solution would be to have an include statement that generates an image someplace, referenced by your main program. This will cause the image to be generated before the rest of the code is executed. But, then you'll have to worry about cleaning it up later.

RE: [PHP] running commands as root from a script
Good day, A bit off topic, but you can run a Perl script setuid. You have to pass a flag to Perl to let it know that it's OK, though (it's -U, I believe) which would appear in your first she-bang line. I've never had to run a PHP script setuid.

RE: [PHP] Loading Images
Good day, Yep, this is possible all right. I use this to display my rrdtool images. Just have the php program as the target for the image, and then supply the right header. For a gif image: header(Cache-control: private, no-cache); header(Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT); // Past date header(Pragma: no-cache); header(Content-type: image/gif); Then, just output the raw data. If you gather it with a shell command, use passthru() . There isn't anything to stop the user from saving the image, although the above headers will request that the user's client not cache it. You can make it more difficult for the user by supplying a Javascript override function to be executed when the user uses their right-mouse button over the image.

RE: [PHP] preventing back button usage?
Good day, This can be accomplished in a few ways. The easiest way is to tell the client not to cache the page. And yep, you do this via headers. In PHP (attempting to hit as many types of browsers as possible): header(Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate); header(Pragma: no-cache); You can also do some fancy redirection with Location headers. As a failsafe, you should have the processing page make sure that the user isn't submitting the same thing more than once.

RE: [PHP] OT - number of chars in querystring
Good day, The RFC says that there is no limit on the size of the request. But, I remember reading that the real world maximum is 2048 characters, which I believe is a hard limit on some clients. I also recall reading that there is an RFC that suggests limiting the request to 255 characters. It appears that you might be submitting a lot of data. If that's the case, you should really have your application determine the information to be submitted and then store/create them as hidden values in a form. That way, not only will you have no problems with length, but you don't have to worry about the client caching it.

Good day,
exec() isn't very good at capturing output. It will only return the last
line of output, which is designed mostly to capture error conditions.
You would be best off using popen() and attaching a pipe to the output, and
then just read from the pipe. More information can be found about popen()
with PHP's documentation.
Try that instead.

RE: [PHP] Driving me nuts, need one second of your time
Good day,
You get this message because the mysql_db_query statement failed, and that
your code didn't check to see that it did or not before proceeding to the
next statement.
And, this statement fails because you have not even connected to the
database yet.
At the risk of sounding condescending, I would request that you look at
PHP's documentation on how to use the MySQL wrapper functions (
http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.mysql.php ). There you can find good
documentation and a number of useful examples (the two best things a coder
could ask for).
Your error message is also in PHPs FAQ list.

RE: [PHP] Netscape vs. IE/Mozilla
Good day, A 10-second search on Google comes up with: http://www.omninet.net.au/~kg/docs/demyst9.html Personally, I can tell you that the biggest difference between the two browsers is the way that Netscape 4.X uses styles. In particular, it generally doesn't inherit styles from other elements. So, if you use a stylesheet and say that you want text to be green, you need to specify that p is green, td is green, etc. A bigger explanation of the differences would be outside the scope of this list.

RE: [PHP] php, text file, and mysql
Good day, This isn't really on the topic of PHP. But, to answer your question- yes, MySQL will let you do lots of neat things with those large text fields, like looking for substrings and such. If you want to store some text information, even that which might have special characters, line feeds and so forth, the TEXT field is definately the way to go.

Yes you can, though it might be an inefficient way of doing it unless you have some reason to do it this way. Look into the column type BLOB (binary large object), it lets you store binary large objects, such as images or files or anything, really. Why inefficient? Well, for one thing, BLOBs don't retrieve as quickly as regular fields, for reasons I don't altogether know. Also, you won't be able to form a query to search for any characteristics of a BLOB, since MySQL will treat the BLOB as a BLOB and doesn't try to imagine what's inside it -- as opposed to, say, a VARCHAR column. There is also a TEXT column type for very long text strings, and I forget whether or not the contents of these can be used in queries -- can someone please confirm this? But basically, almost any other column type is valid subject matter for forming queries. But for storing images and PDFs or other binary data, there's no other way. Note that many MySQL wizards will recommend that instead of storing binary data in a database, use a filesystem to store the data and then use the database to create a sort of directory for quickly locating those files in the filesystem, remembering the path to the file or something.

[PHP] Using SSL - slightly OT
Good day, I'm trying to set up a site that will use SSL for all of its web and control transactions. Currently I get an error when Apache is started up with PHP and SSL compiled together (on FreeBSD). There's a bug report on it, so it's just a matter of waiting. In the meantime, I'd like to set up Apache with SSL. I note that there are two packages- modssl and Apache-ssl, which appear to be two completely different packages. Has anyone here tried both of these packages, or has a recommendation on which to use? I'm curious as to what everyone would recommend for someone new to SSL.

RE: [PHP] using a mysql temporary table.
Good day, I would have to dig around to find the appropriate note in the documentation, however I seem to recall reading that PHP's MySQL wrappers intentially prohibit a user from using semicolons- basically to prevent one's database from being hacked due to a poorly constructed query using user input. I can't immediately find a reference to this, though. As a workaround, you could execute two separate queries and store all of the results in a 2-D array in memory.

I found this knowledge base entry: http://www.faqts.com/knowledge_base/view.phtml/aid/445 Where it shows to do all the querying in one swoop.

RE: [PHP] Next and Preview Row
Good day, It should be pointed out that even with this syntax, the database will still scour all of the rows in the table. The only savings is that the database won't return all of these rows due to the limit statement. It might be more efficient to use min and max to determine which row in the database is before and after the desired row, and then only fetch those rows. This can easily done with subselects, but since MySQL does not support them one will have to use multiple queries to piece it together. Of course, if your table is small then this is mostly irrelevant anyway. It might also be worthwhile to note that this code can be made into one query with the UNION statement. However, MySQL doesn't support that part of SQL either (although the documentation says that it's provided in version 4.X ).

RE: [PHP] how a function 'return' statement works
Good day,
You're returning $current_page_name.
$current_page_name is set to the return value for array_slice.
And array_slice returns an array.
So, $current_page_name will be an array.
So, you'll always return an array.
I think what you're trying to do is return one particular element out of the
array. If that's the case, just use something like:
return $current_page_name[-1]
to return the last element in the array.

Can anyone give my puny mind an explanation as to why the following
function only returns the value Array ?
# ===
# get_current_page_name()
# ---
# Returns the current document
# Arguments

# no arguments

function get_current_page_name()

$current_page_name = explode(/, $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']);
$current_page_name = array_slice($current_page_name, -1);

(I know this does the same thing as 'basename($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])', I
just want to understand something a bit more fundamental to the way

RE: [PHP] PHP and CGI
Good day, The php file can have whichever extension that you want, provided that the webserver understands which application is associated with which extension. If you want to run a PHP script as a CGI or without the webserver , just install the PHP standalone executable. This is done by default with many RPM packages, and can easily be done with a tarball. To run the script, just put: #!/usr/local/bin/php (or whatever location it's installed into) as the first line of your php script. Your CGI program can run this program like any other shell command and get the results. Also, if the extension is .cgi , your web server should understand that it's a cgi program and exec it appropriately.

[PHP] Installing PHP 4.1.1 on Redhat w/ RPMs
Good day, This isn't strictly a PHP question, but, I am hoping someone on this list has gone through this already and can provide some assistance. I'd like to upgrade to PHP 4.1.1 on our Redhat 7.2 servers, and so I've downloaded all of the PHP RPMs from Rawhide. I would really, really like to do this with RPMs if at all possible. When I go to install, I find out that: error: failed dependencies: libcrypto.so.3 is needed by php-4.1.1-1 OK, no problem so far. I just need to get the new openssl packages. But, after downloading them and adding them to the install list, I then find that libcrypto.so.2 (which would be replaced by libcrypto.so.3) is needed by dozens of packages on the system. I really can't upgrade them all. I am just going from openssl-0.9.6b-8 to openssl-0.9.6c-2 . It appears to me that openssl must have changed the API for their library between an extremely minor version number (is that even supposed to happen?), which is what I think is causing me the problem. I'm not quite sure how to proceed. Has anyone else on the list done this yet?

RE: [PHP] Tables Loading Slow
Good day, As it has been said, this is a function of the browser. You can get around this by not using a large table to render your data. You could use one table per row, with all columns formatted with the same width. You could also try to use SPAN containers to store the data, but in my experience only IE supports the width style attribute of these. You will also have to ensure that PHP is flushing the output as it displays it. And, you could also optimize your data structure so that the results are returned quicker. =) Darren Gamble Planner, Regional Services Shaw Cablesystems GP 630 - 3rd Avenue SW Calgary, Alberta, Canada T2P 4L4 (403) 781-4948 -Original Message- From: Bryan Gintz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, January 30, 2002 7:39 AM To: PHP List Subject: [PHP] Tables Loading Slow Hi.

RE: [PHP] browser back button - Page has Expired.. problem
Good day, By default, IE will cache these pages (i.e. you won't get this message). If you're receiving that message, it means that the browser doesn't have a cached version of the page. Getting a new version would obviously mean submitting the form information again, which IE, thankfully, doesn't automatically do. It may be that the IE users aren't caching their pages, or the cache is automatically cleaned (had this happen once with users writing onto their profile). Or, it may be that meta tags on the page have instructed the browser not to cache the page, or to quickly expire it. You should check the page source for such headers. I know it is tempting to trash-talk IE, but in this situation, regardless of the problem, most likely the browser is just doing what the user or web page has instructed it to do.

RE: [PHP] break statement usage
Good day,
Actually, using the break statement is the accepted, proper way to break
out of a switch statement, just as it is in other programming languages.
And yes, the break statement can be used to terminate other loops, such as
while and for, just like in other languages. Using it there is not
considered bad programming practice either, although in the case of the
while statement you should try to utilize the loop condition if possible.
FYI, the command to break to the next iteration of a loop is continue.
The PHP site has very good documentation on the usage and appropriateness
for switch, break and continue. I would highly recommend you take a
look, if you have not already.

Subject: [PHP] break statement usage
Hello, all
I have a quick question about using the break statement from within a
switch() statement.
After accepting user input from a form, I want to run this input through
some error checking via PHP code (not Javascript error checking). So
the first thing is the code puts the input through to a couple of error
functions (this is all inside of a switch statement that is determined
by a radio button on the previous page). If the error functions show
the input as invalid, I echo back a specific error-message telling the
user which field needs to be fixed, and then break to end the case
statement. That way the input never comes near the database functions
(mysql_query()) if it is invalid input.
Is this a poor way to code -- using the break as a shortcut to jump
out of the switch statement? Are there other ways that break can be
used -- such as from loops? I've been learning Python on the side, and
in that language, the break statement is used often, sometimes in a
loop like
while 1
do some code
if condition is true
break
This is basically an infinite loop until the condition is true -- though
I've never seen a WHILE loop in PHP that is formed this way (using a 1
to make it happen infinitely until a condition is met and then BREAKing
out of the loop). Usually, at least from what I've seen, PHP WHILE
loops are constructed so that they terminate when a condition is met
specified immediately after the WHILE, as in:
while (x $number_of_iterations) {
do some code
}
So what I'm wondering is,
Is it bad coding practice to make heavy use of break statements in
switch() flow control?
Thank you for your opinions,
Erik

RE: [PHP] bug in echo function?
Good day,
The reason that the first statement doesn't work as intended is due to the
order that the operands are processed.
The operands in the line:
td . ($i*8)+$j . /td
are being processed like this:
(td . ($i*8))+($j . /td)
If you change the line to:
td . (($i*8)+$j) . /td
then you'll get the desired result.
Rule of thumb: Use parenthesis whenever you have a complex operation to
ensure the result is what you want.

Subject: [PHP] bug in echo function?
I ran across a curious bug in the echo function this morning. My PHP is
Debian binary 4.1.1-1.
The first example below does not work (it should draw a
checkerboard-like table):
-
html
head
titleChess/title
body
table border=1
?
for ($i=0 ; $i8 ; $i++) {
echo tr align=center valign=center;
for ($j=0 ; $j8 ; $j++) {
echo td . ($i*8)+$j . /td;
}
echo /tr\n;
}
?
/table
/body
/html
-
However, by changing the echo line to two echo lines, it works as
desired:
-
html
head
titleChess/title
body
table border=1
?
for ($i=0 ; $i8 ; $i++) {
echo tr align=center valign=center;
for ($j=0 ; $j8 ; $j++) {
echo td;
echo ($i*8)+$j . /td;
}
echo /tr\n;
}
?
/table
/body
/html
-
I don't see any limitations about concatenating strings in the man page
of the echo statement. Perhaps this is a bug?

RE: [PHP] bug in echo function?
Good day, No, that's not it. It's just a simple matter of order of operations. You have an expression- that expression needs to be evaluated into one thing, and that one thing is then passed to echo() as the single argument. I'm not a php expert, but evidently the . operator is evaluated before the * operator, which in turn is evaluated before the + operator. Perhaps it would be easier to understand if you thought of the . operator like the exponent operator in math- it is evaluated before * or + is.

RE: [PHP] how to send to URL on if statement?
Good day,
I've had to do something similar to this.
I do not think there is a way to do this with only HTML- you either need to
use a header like the one shown, or a META tag, and they have to be written
right away.
I worked around this once with Javascript. The page had an ONLOAD function
that would look on the page for a URL (stored as a hidden input element) and
then try to go there if the input element had any data in it. This works
nicely since you don't actually have to write this data with PHP until
you're ready to close your BODY tag. Then, when the page is loaded, the
ONLOAD triggers and does its work.
I don't have the code on me, but this should be a good enough push in the
right direction.
Hope this helps,

RE: [PHP] RTFM
Good day, I would agree that there certainly are some questions that deserve a bit more thought before they are posted to the list. Witness, for example, posters who respond to their own question 10 minutes later with Never mind, I solved it. However, I don't think anyone is in a position to say whether a question is stupid or not. Sometimes there is a simple way to do something, but it escapes the poster who is otherwise a good programmer. Or, sometimes, it's just because other readers don't read the question properly, and think it's a lot simpler than it really is. I know I, on _many_ occasions, have posted I need to do foo, and A won't work because X, and B would be too much overhead because Y and have people answer with my own rejected solution Do A, you newbie , obviously without even reading the entirety of the message. With apologies to Bart, I will point out that the question that Bart quoted is a perfectly valid question with non-trivial solutions. The original poster is well aware of how if statements work, but that appeared to be lost in Bart's reading. Does using Javascript to redirect a user to another page have to do anything with PHP? In this case ... yes! The situation described by the original poster would be something that only a PHP programmer (or ASP, etc.) would run into, where a user has to make a decision whether or not to redirect a user halfway though a page. Where would be the best place to ask for advice on how to do that? Is this PHP mailing list perhaps not the MOST suitable place for something like that? Yes, for a user to succeed with a programming language it's important that they not use a mailing list as a crutch, and be told to examine the documentation when appropriate (especially documentation as good as it is with PHP). But I, for one, would much rather have a friendly community such as this one to encourage and support the use of PHP for all. My two cents CND (one cent USD).

On Informix, for example, you would say 'where lit_source matches c* '. You should consult your database manual for more information.

[PHP] Possible bug: Using h and H with unpack()
Good day,
I can not seem to get the h or H options to work at all with unpack().
I'm pretty sure that I have this right, although the documentation for this
function is bit sparse.
The code:
print The data has been encoded (.strlen($varbind). bytes in size).;
print Hex: PRE ;
$hex_unpacked = unpack( H* , $varbind );
for ( $i=1 ; $i = sizeof($hex_unpacked) ; $i++) {
print $hex_unpacked[$i] . |;
}
print \n. sizeof($hex_unpacked) . elements unpacked.\n;
print /PRE\n;
prints out:
The data has been encoded (20 bytes in size).Hex:
|
1 elements unpacked.
.. for the sample binary string. If I use C* instead of H* (to print
out characters instead of hex strings) then I get the expected result:
The data has been encoded (20 bytes in size).Hex:
6|49|0|2|52|0|0|0|0|48|57|6|49|0|2|52|0|0|0|0|
20 elements unpacked.
Now, I can work around this problem by combining sprintf with the C*
format to format the characters into hex strings. But, if this is a bug
then it should be addressed.
Alternatively, if unpack() isn't supposed to support all of the options of
pack() (such as H and h) then the documentation should state which
options it can support.
Is this a bug, or have I just missed something?

RE: [PHP] regular expression
Good day, The problem here is with the .* expression, which matches any character, including . The regex is greedy and will try and match as much as it possibly can.

RE: [PHP] RE: @file problems w/ remote files
Good day,
I had not even noticed the @ character... and you are right, your original
setup should have supressed the message.
Most likely this is a bug; it would be worthwhile to post it on PHP's bug
list to prevent future pain and suffering for people doing the same thing.

Question, though... if the host is resolvable, but the file does not exist,
does the function print an error (with the @ character)?

RE: [PHP] php as cron
Good day, Calling another program with this script is unnecessary, since you are using the shebang operator. Instead of: */2 * * * * php /home/crontest.php /dev/null Use: */2 * * * * /home/crontest.php /dev/null Which should work just fine. As pointed out, the reason you were getting the message was because cron is not able to find php because /usr/local/bin is not in the path. If you really want to use it, then the following: */2 * * * * /usr/local/bin/php /home/crontest.php /dev/null would also work. You could remove the #! line in your script if you do so.

RE: [PHP] Using @file
Good day, While I am sure most of the readers of the list are finding this conversation amusing, I will still try to explain this a bit better to you. DNS, or Domain Name Service, is the protocol which translates names into IP addresses. If you supply a computer with a name, it must use DNS (or NetBIOS, or a hosts file, etc.) in order to determine what an IP address is from a name. If you have not correctly configured your machine to use DNS, then your computer will not be able to find the server you are asking it to. The error message you have supplied indicates that this is the problem. From a command prompt on the server you are trying to run this on, try to ping the server you are trying to reach by name (e.g. ping www.myserver.com . If you can not reach the server, then this is the reason. If this is the case, please contact the administrator of your machine/network to correct this problem and take this discussion off the PHP list.

RE: [PHP] Multidimensional array construction
Good day,
Thanks to all who replied.
This isn't quite what I needed, though. I _have_ the array (or delimited
list would do, too). What I need to do is _CREATE_ the array element
$myarray['foo']['bar']['green']['apple'] and set it to some value. Actually
traversing said array isn't hard, as you pointed out.
foreach() doesn't work, as it just uses a copy of the original array. I
think there might be some way to use variable references, but I haven't
gotten one to work yet.
Any other suggestions?

(an array) can have any number of elements. As a small example:
(

( foo , bar , red , car),

$myarray[foo][bar][red][car] = $some_value2;
$myarray[foo][green] = $some_value3;
Is there any way to easily do this in PHP? I could cheat and use eval(),
but there is probably a better way. I have thought of using each() or
references, but nothing has come to mind so far.
Any ideas? Should I just use eval() ?

RE: [PHP] Re: system(), flush() and so on...
Good day, flush() will just empty the contents of the output buffer when it's called. You should do this after you output the command, yes, or the user will have to wait until the rest of the page is loaded. But this won't let you see the output as it is generated by the system() function. You may want to try popen instead. This gives you a pipe to the process, so you _should_ be able to read in lines of the output and display them as they appear, whilst using flush() (although I have never tried this myself so I can not vouch for it).

Hello Julio, Hm... I don't even know what to specify :) The exact problem is using system(traceroute host.com), but it should've returned its results line by line, instead of executing the whole command and then outputting its result. That is done by flush(), which is executed by system() foo itself, but i couldn't understand why i have needed result on some servers and on others - vice versa. JNT Hi, please be more specific.

Good day, Oops, you're right. I did not read that line nor was I aware of that. I just tried ?php system(traceroute www.google.com); ? . It works exactly as it says it should- outputs the lines as they come in. I also know flush() works fine (at least for me). Perhaps you could provide some information about your O/S and PHP version?

Good day, I am not sure what the problem is, then. I presume that you installed these via RPMs, and have PHP operating as an Apache module. Does the simple script provided fail as well? Have you tried some simple scripts with sleep() and flush() to see if flush() works? If you don't hear from anyone else on the list, you may want to try posting a bug report.

Good day, For whatever reason, your traceroute command is returning results very quickly. It may be functioning normally. Perhaps you should try a command that will take much longer to execute, such as du / --max-depth=1.

Good day, Then I'm not sure. Perhaps someone in-the-know will respond to your question. Else, file a bug report. Your script runs fine on my 'puter, FYI. Otherwise, it would be worthwhile to write something quick to test flush() with. If it is also not working, it will provide more evidence as to the cause of the problem.

[PHP] Memory leaks with LDAP?
Hey all, Has anyone else had problems with memory leaks using PHP's LDAP functions? I put together a LDAP server the other day, and wrote a PHP program to test it. I've stripped this program down to basically a ldap_connect, ldap_bind, ldap_search on objectclass=* , ldap_get_entries, ldap_free_result and ldap_unbind. There are about 8k entries in the DB which is a bit under 10MB, but with each iteration of the program, about 100MB of memory is leaked to httpd! The program doesn't have to be run many times before the server stops responding. I note errors in the apache log indicating that it can not kill off its children. And, /etc/init.d/httpd stop needs to be called exactly twice to stop the web process after the program is run. I'm running php-4.0.6-7 as a module for apache-1.3.20-16; all Redhat 7.2 RPMs. I posted a message on the PHP bug page recently, but, by reading the posting guidelines on that page it seems that there is a good chance that no one will even look at it. I'm hoping that someone on this list has encountered something similar and would be able to share their resolution. Thanks to all who respond!

[PHP] Displaying content on the fly
Good day, I've been using both Perl and PHP for some time now for dynamic content. I'm presently running PHP4 as an apache module. One difference that I've noticed is that PHP doesn't produce any output until the script is complete, whereas with Perl one could print doing this... , perform something, done. messages when performing long tasks. Is there any way to have this enabled? It would be quite appreciated, as I have a few web pages that perform very heavy database work and I would like to make the output hot so that I can print out statements as it progresses- and if there is a problem, the user will be able to identify where it failed. There doesn't appear to be a php.ini directive that does this, though...
