how to do it, and I have to say you won't find any more hand holding

If your download is still compressed you need to uncompress it. 
Depending on the download's file extension you will need to use one of
these commands:

tar zxvf php-4.3.10.tar.gz
tar jxvf php-4.3.10.tar.bz2 

Then you change to the source directory:
cd php-4.3.10/
Then you configure the source:
./configure
You will need to add your desired compile options in the ./configure
command.  I have no idea what support you want to build into your PHP.
If you don't either you might look at:
./configure --help
Then after you're done with the configure, you compile the software:
make
Then you probably want to install the software permanently to a
system-wide location (or you might not, I don't know).  On *nix the
usual install locations are somewhere like /usr or /usr/local, which
can be defined in the configure with --prefix if you don't want the
default location.  So then to do the actual install you would do:
make install
Then your php binary will be /usr/bin/php or /usr/local/bin/php.
There's also the configure option to build your PHP as a module for
use with a web server such as Apache.  For that you might use a
configure command something like:
./configure --enable-module=so --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs
 

I was just hoping for something in laymans terms I guess...
   

I would guess it's hard to talk about heart surgery without talking
about heart surgery.  Same goes for compiling software.  The commands
are pretty explicit and you have to know what your doing to get the
desired results.  It's no disgrace to not know, once upon a time I
didn't know..  but I read lots of docs, and I asked many questions and
I learned.  I got a few flames along the way but that's part of
knowing *nix I guess.  :)
Several companies I've worked for in the past have brought in outside
consultants when something would come up that we didn't have skills
for in-house.  On that note, you might consider talking with a
consultant or even getting them to do your PHP install for you if in
the end you give up and cannot figure it out.  Make them document the
process as part of the deal.
 

Thanks for your responses.
Wish me luck.
   

Good luck.
 

Thanks for the info.
I do understand that *nix usage generaly relies on a lot of compiling 
software, but I have been relying on pre-compiled RPMs so far. I am by 
no means an expert, or even intermediate *nix user, which is why I used 
the term "rudimentary".

I have been running 6 Linux servers for a small company for about a year 
now learning as I go. I knew nothing about *nix when I started and 
considering most of my other responsibilities leave very little time to 
learn and experiment on the Linux systems I dont think I've done too badly.

P.S. You didnt offend me, I just wanted to explain my situation.
Thanks again for the help.

[PHP] 2 x DB connections at once

2004-01-23 Thread Donald Tyler
Yes thanks, that will do it. I wasn't aware you had to pass an extra param
to get it to create a new connection.

Both the connections were in separate objects and they were being specified
every time I did a query or select db, but since I didn't add that extra
param you mentioned I guess they were really the same connection even though
they were two separate private variables in different objects.

Thanks for your help

It depends, how are you creating the connections, and where are you keeping
the connection ID
and when you query, or select database, or anything to do with the
databases, do you make sure you specify that connection id?

//Notice the TRUE, that creates a new conenction, and doesnt use the
existing connection (hence returning a different id)

$sqlconnection1 = mysql_connect('test.com', 'username', 'password');
$sqlconnection2 = mysql_connect('test.com', 'username', 'password', TRUE);

then when you select databases and query youll have to specify that
connection!

//choose DB 1 on connection 1
mysql_select_db('mydata1', $sqlconnection1);
//choose db2 on connetion 2
mysql_select_db('mydata1', $sqlconnection2);

//and querying
//this will select the table named table from the mydata1 database
mysql_query("SELECT * FROM table WHERE name='me'", $sqlconnection1);
//this will select the table named table from the mydata2 database
mysql_query("SELECT * FROM table WHERE name='me'", $sqlconnection2);

RE: [PHP] textfields showing php tags & code

There is nothing wrong with your code, I just tried it on my site and it
works fine.

Try and run the function you posted on its own, without adding back anything
that you removed, just to make sure you didn't inadvertently remove the
problem.

If it works, then you know where to look, if it doesn't work, I would check
your webserver and see if anyone has messed around with the PHP
configuration.

Someone must have changed something if it was working before.h

RE: [PHP] Problems with $_POST

2004-01-21 Thread Donald Tyler
This is the method I recommend also.

The token method works fine, but is slightly harder to implement.

Basically you would keep the function that creates the record separate from
the page that shows confirmation of the record being created.

e.g.

1. User visits:
www.mysite.com/accounts/pages/NewInvoice.php

2. User fills out form and clicks submit, forms "Action" is:
www.mysite.com/accounts/Functions/CreateInvoice.php

3. After CreateInvoice.php has successfully made the invoice, WITHOUT
printing any other output, you use the header() command to send them to:
www.mysite.com/accounts/pages/InvoiceSuccess.php

Or,

After you've dumped the data into the DB, issue a header('location:

This will also solve the problem of IE saying "are you sure you want to

RE: [PHP] Re: Flash-PHP Socket Connection

2004-01-21 Thread Donald Tyler
You would use sockets if you were developing a client/server application
that was making a LOT of requests very quickly.

Opening and closing connections using normal HTTP methods gets slow when
carrying out such intense data communication.

A good example would be an online game where you need to constantly know the
location of all players all the time.

xmlReceiver.load( "http://"; + host + "feed_xml_article.php");

RE: [PHP] Re: Flash-PHP Socket Connection

2004-01-21 Thread Donald Tyler
We are just about to try and get this working with sockets ourselves. Our
intranet currently does exactly what you are trying to do, but without using
sockets.

In reply to your question, there is no one site for XMLRPC really. I suggest
you read up on the following subjects:

XMLRPC document specification:
http://www.xmlrpc.com/spec

Flash XML object:
http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/mx/flash/articles/tools_xmlobject.html

PHP XMLRPC implementation:
http://us3.php.net/manual/en/ref.xmlrpc.php

Using XMLRPC instead of the previously mentioned methods of loading the PHP
output as a text file has the following benefits:

1. Complete freedom to communicate a complex data structure, including
multidimensional arrays. This is difficult if not impossible to do with
simple PHP text output.
2. Data types are kept intact when being transferred. E.g. there is no
confusion as to whether:

1 = integer: 1
1 = string: 1
1 = Boolean: true

3. XMLRPC is an industry standard. Using it will allow other developers to
easily build clients for your server side script should you wish.
4. PHP has full XMLRPC functionality built in; Flash has XML functionality
built in. There is a little extra work involved in extending the Flash XML
object to an XMLRPC parser (or you could try one of the OpenSource
alternatives), but I recommend building one yourself if you have the time,

Subject: [PHP] Re: Flash-PHP Socket Connection

Hey Ben

I know it may sound nuts, but I really want to make a socket connection
between a Flash and a PHP file.

Normally I would simply read in a text file/read XML/send data with GET or
POST, but I'm looking for a socket connections of following reasons:

1) I want a fast connection
2) I'm looking at this as a challenge, because it doesn't seem like anyone
else has done this before

FW: [PHP] Flash-PHP Socket Connection

2004-01-20 Thread Donald Tyler
We use XMLRPC to communicate between flash & PHP. I presume it can be
coupled with sockets if you should need a permanent connection as well.

It has worked perfectly for pretty much anything we throw at it (It allows
you to send any PHP or Action script native data type, e.g. arrays,
Booleans, integers etc. back and forth across the web)

Obvious security implications about, so be very very careful with what you
do with the data received. Trust no one! Not even your own Flash Client.

Subject: [PHP] Flash-PHP Socket Connection

Hi everybody

I'm working on a site that will be based on Flash, PHP and MySQL. PHP will
work as a middleware for Flash and MySQL.

My problem is communication between Flash and PHP.
I'm really out looking for using the socket functions in PHP and Flash to
make fast connection.

I have googled for almost an hour now, and I can't seem to find any
interesting. The only info I find, is about sending data between Flash and
PHP with HTTP GET or HTTP POST.

So if anybody has some general information on this or a link to a tutorial
on the subject, I would like to get those resources.

Thanks a lot

RE: [PHP] Syntax Error -> This is WEIRD!

2004-01-16 Thread Donald Tyler
Yes that is true. But I would strongly recommend against doing that.

You should never include anything over HTTP. Its extremely messy, 100%
insecure and just a very very bad idea.

You should have all the files you need to include located on your web
server.

Yes. I read the manual which provides no clear explanation (I suspect 
that whoever wrote it didn't actually know how it works). So I decided 
to test it. It does exactly what you say it does. I made an include file 
like this:

';
?>

If you inlude that using HTTP, it outputs "Hello world!"

Seems like a strange thing to do, outputting PHP code on a Web page, but 
it's not without conceivable usefulness.

Yes your right, that’s exactly the problem. I didn’t even realize he was
doing that.

By including the PHP file via HTTP, you are including the OUTPUT of the PHP
file, not the actual PHP file itself.

e.g.

by including a file with the following code:



you would be including the word "Hello" as PHP code, which is obviously
going to cause a syntax error.

I've never tried to do an include via HTTP, so maybe I'm clueless, but
it occurs to me that it might be a good idea to try doing a plain old

2004-01-16 Thread Donald Tyler
There could be something you're not seeing and assuming it's correct. But
typing your code into the email we aren't getting the full story.

Can you actually attach your scripts to an email and send that? Copying and
pasting then into the email won't necessarily provide all the info needed to
solve your problem.

For example: I once uploaded a PHP script to the server and for some reason
on the way up extra character were placed in the document that did not show
up in most text editors. I had to use a very basic terminal text editor to
see the added characters.

[PHP] Fw: Intermitent problems retreiving PDF's from a MySQL database.

2004-01-09 Thread Donald Tyler
Hi,

I have a website where the admin can create entries in a news list and
upload an associated PDF document.

I am storing the document in a MySQL database on another machine on the same
network.

For some reason, occasionaly when loading a PDF document, internet explorer
will "lock up", the Windows flag will continue to wave as if it is loading
the document, but it will never load. Once this happens, all of the other
PDF documents wont load until you restart internet explorer. Then it all
works fine until you click that one PDF again.

I thought that maybe the PDF had been corrupted somehow, but the problem
miraculously fixed itself so I didnt have a change to check that out.

Now I got a call from one of my users complaining of the exact same problem,
which once again miraculously fixed itself after reloading internet
explorer.

There are no error messages in the apache log or the mysql log.

Does anyone have any idea what is going on?!?

Thanks

I've experienced a similar problem on a php based

Hmm, that's strange.

I use Javascript functions to control the few pop-up windows in the CMS,
but I just went in and changed some to standard href tags with the
_blank for the target attribute, as you have, and it still works with no
problem.

If, as Chris wrote, this is indeed a feature/bug of IE, then it must be
configurable somewhere, though I'm lost as to where that might be.

I just tested it out on a number of systems around here, both on a
Windoze 2000 box and on a RedHat box using a Terminal Services
connection, and it worked fine for me.

Does anyone have any ideas how this could be controlled via IE's
settings?

This is a feature/bug of IE 6. It might be something you can configure

I have a site that has a members section. In the news area, when a user

What's happening is that when the new window pops up, the script isn't
getting the session info properly. I changed it so that the page opens
up in the main window instead of a new one and it works fine.

 

I presume this is because the browser is not sending the session ID to

to fix this without embedding the session ID in the URL?

 

I thought the only criteria that the browser used when deciding if to

[PHP] Problem connecting to remote MySQL Server

I can access it fine from my machine using PHPMyAdmin so I know that
remote access is being allowed.
I have also connected to the web hosting server via SSH and have
connected successfully to the MySQL server via the MySQL client at the
terminal from that machine. So I know the server that the scripts are
running on also has access to the MySQL server.

Here is my script. Please let me know if you have any ideas why this

[PHP] Restarting Apache without screwing up running scripts?

2003-10-13 Thread Donald Tyler
Hi,

 

 

We are building an Intranet for our company and I was wondering how
people deal with having to restart the server when its running an
intranet. Obviously if there is a complex process running and the server
restarts in the middle of it then its going to screw a lot of stuff up.

 

The only thing I could think of was to script the Intranet in such a way
as I could go into the admin section and simply disable it, then all the
currently running processes would finish, but the system would refuse to
start any new ones until I re-enabled it again.

 

Just want some advice, thanks.

Grab yourself a copy of "JavaScript the Definitive Guide" by Orielly.

Session auto start is not enabled as default because it is a performance

I don't understand. What did you ping? How does that mean it is running?

Getting a response from a ping does not mean MySQL is running. Did you 
try connecting with a MySQL client from the command line? Have you 
looked at the running processes to see if it exists there?

You can set default mysql settings in php.ini which allows you to set a
socket 
file.  Then you leave the default settings out of mysql_connect all
together.  
I _think_ that you can then connect with 
mysql_connect("localhost","username","password") and it will use the
socket 
file set in php.ini.

If that doesn't work you can try editing the client section of
/etc/my.cnf

Also, I always set up my apps in a way that the db connection is only in
one 
place and just called from all the scripts that need it.  You can do
this 
with an include or using object oriented coding.  This way if you ever
have 
to make a system wide change you don't have to go to all the scripts and

change it.

Hope that helps.

Let's get a hair more info, try

if(!($Connection = mysql_connect('localhost', '**',

print(mysql_error() . "\n");
exit();

However, although PHP is now looking at the correct file. I still get

Do you have any idea why it would not connect even though its looking at
the correct file?

Here is the line from the PHP.ini file after I edited it (incase I did
something retarded)

mysql.default.socket = /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock

But MySQL is running? PHP AFAIK doesn't care where mysql.sock is, unless
it is not the default.

locate mysql.sock
look in my.conf to see if the paths match
if not, change the path in my.conf and restart mysql

There is a PHP directive in the php.ini

; Default socket name for local MySQL connects.  If empty, uses the
built-in
; MySQL defaults.
mysql.default_socket =

where you can specify the location of the sock if need be.

The MySQL functions only allow me to change the location per function
call.

I want to change the default mysql.sock file location for PHP, it would
seem silly to change every script to do that, especially since this is
only a test server and the main server will most likely have the
mysql.sock file in another location.

or
'Both'...   PHP would be a form of CGI if it is used as Shell Scripting
Language but if I compile Apache and have it create a PHP module then it
is
not a form of CGI.

Can anyone point this out or clarify this?  It would be very much be

[PHP] Resizing a jpeg stored in a database

2003-09-18 Thread Donald Tyler
Hi,

 

I have a question that I hope you can answer. So far I have accomplished
the following:

 

Storing a jpeg in a MySQL database

Retrieving the jpeg from the database

Sending the jpeg to a browser and displaying it correctly

 

Creating dynamic PNG images in PHP

Resizing the dynamic PNG image in PHP

 

 

 

Now I need to combine the two processes. I am storing jpegs in a
database, and I want to write a script that can serve the image as
either a thumbnail view or a full view. How exactly would I go about
this? I was hoping I could just load the image from the database and
then insert it into an object I created with "imagecreate()". However I
don't seem to be able to find any functions that will allow me to do
that.

 

I noticed there were functions to import images from files or URL's.
Does this mean that I will first have to save the image as a file on the
hard drive and THEN import it into the image object?

 

Thanks in advance for your help.

[PHP] Lost Connection to MySQL server during query

2003-09-09 Thread Donald Tyler
I have a script that is processing data from a single table and splitting it
into smaller normalized tables.

 

The script takes anywhere between 5-10 minutes to complete, and as it runs
it constantly outputs a report on its progress.

 

The script seems to run fine the first time I run it, but with subsequent
runs (To see if it incorrectly creates duplicates of records etc), after a
couple of minutes the script ends with an error message saying "Lost
connection to MySQL server during query".

 

During the first run, the script is mostly just chopping up the data and
placing it in the new tables, and doing a little comparing. But during
subsequent runs, all of the records in the new tables should already exist,
so the script see's this, and instead of creating new records, it compares
them to see if its correct.

 

Does anyone have any idea why it would be losing connection all the time?

 

This is just being run on a test server at the moment. Being used as the
server and also the client, configured as follows:

 

Windows XP Tablet Edition

PHP 4.3.3

PHP Extensions:   XmlRPC

MySQL 4.0.14

Apache 2.0.47

 

Please help, this has been making my life hell for a week now!

 

Thanks

Thanks to the excellent help from someone at Full Data Systems (Thank you!),
I finally managed to get the XmlRPC extension working on my windows PHP
installation.

I am not trying to send any params at the moment, all I want to do is get a
valid response.

However, now when I try and run the script in debug mode, I get an error

[PHP] Building an XML Parser Class

2003-08-14 Thread Donald Tyler
Hi,

I am trying to create a Class that will parse an XML document. It all works
fine as individual functions but I cant get it to work as a class.

For example, when I do the following in my class:

xml_set_element_handler($this->xml_parser, '$this->startElement',
"$this->endElement");
xml_set_character_data_handler($this->xml_parser, "$this->valueHandler");

I get an error message:

Warning: xml_parse(): Unable to call handler $this->startElement() in
c:\program files\apache group\php\My_includes\Class.xmlTranslator.php on
line 90

Now I presume this is because I am trying to call methods of my class.

Does anyone know a good way around this?


Thanks.

Its $this->startElement().

That was a typo. I typed the error message instead of copying and pasting
it. Sorry.

Is the handler called $thiss->startElement() or $this->startElement?

Tried that already, all it does it change the error message to:

Warning: xml_parse(): Unable to call handler () in c:\program files\apache
group\php\My_includes\Class.xmlTranslator.php on line 90

I guess this is because its looking within the xml parser object for a
function called $this->startElement. Which it obviously doesn't exist
because its in the xml parsers parent object.

Try getting rid of the quotes around $this->startElement, or changing them
to 
double quotes.

If you don't understand why, php.net/language.types.string should make for
an 
exhilarating read :)

FW: [PHP] Re: Building an XML Parser Class

2003-08-14 Thread Donald Tyler

Thanks for the link.

Sadly it doesn't really apply to what I am trying to do. My class literally
translates the Xml Document into an associative array.

PHP's functionality for working with XML documents is way too limited for me
to do what I need to while still keeping my code legible. That's why I am
changing it into an array first.

As I said, the code works perfect. All I need to do is to be able to call a
method of the parent of the Xml Parser.

I presume the Xml Parser is an object even though it is created with 

$MyXmlParser = xml_parser_create();

Instead of say: 

$MyXmlParser = new XmlParser;

RE: [PHP] Building an XML Parser Class

2003-08-14 Thread Donald Tyler
Three ways I tried using the :: syntax:

1. With either double OR single and with OR without () (Tried all 4
combinations) quotes:

xml_set_element_handler($this->xml_parser, "xmlTranslator::startElement",
"xmlTranslator::endElement");

Gives me the following error message:

Warning: xml_parse(): Unable to call handler xmlTranslator::startElement()
in c:\program files\apache group\php\My_includes\Class.xmlTranslator.php on
line 90

2. With no quotes:
 
xml_set_element_handler($this->xml_parser, xmlTranslator::startElement(),
xmlTranslator::endElement());

This runs the functions, but doesn't pass any parameters to it. All I get
are missing parameter error messages.

[PHP] XmlRPC Extension in Apache 4.2.3

2003-08-01 Thread Donald Tyler
Hi Everyone,

I posted this on the PHP install list but didn't get a reply. I hope you
guys/gals can be more helpful.

I am having trouble getting the XmlRpc extension working with PnP 4.2.3.

SYSTEM:
Windows XP Pro
PHP 4.2.3 (Running as Apache module)
Apache 2.0.44

When Apache starts I get the following error:

Unknown(): Unable to load dynamic link library 'c:\program files\apache
group\php\extensions\php_xmlrpc.dll' - The specified module could not be
found.

The error.log after a clean start:

[Fri Jul 18 17:08:29 2003] [notice] Parent: Created child process 3420 PHP
Warning:  Unknown(): Unable to load dynamic library 'c:\program files\apache
group\php\extensions\php_xmlrpc.dll' - The specified module could not be
found.  in Unknown on line 0 [Fri Jul 18 17:08:32 2003] [notice] Child 3420:

Acquired the start mutex. [Fri Jul 18 17:08:32 2003] [notice] Child 3420:
Starting 250 worker threads.

I know the dll exists in the correct location and the extension path is
specified correctly in the php.ini file because other extensions load fine.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks.

RE: [PHP] Trouble getting $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA

2003-08-01 Thread Donald Tyler
You should encase the $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA in print_r() or you will just get
the word "Array" printed. But I doubt that will solver your problem because
it seems that $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA is empty.

Also, print_r() does not include any HTML formatting, so you will need to
look at the source for the page in the browser to make it readable.

I need to have the contents of $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA because of
non-regular uploads (from browser to my home-made WevDAV server
implementation 
(done in PHP)). However, no matter what I
do, it is always NULL. I guess the following script should return
SOMETHING in $HTTP_RAW_POST DATA if "always_populate_raw_post_data = On" is
added to the php.ini file (and yes, I've restarted apache :-)... so, why
is it empty and how can I get the RAW post data? My PHP version is 4.3.2.

test.php: 

 
 
 
 
\n"); 
echo("Raw post data decoded:
".base64_decode($HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA)."\n"); 
echo(""); 
phpinfo(); 
?>

The only way I know is to use sessions.

Each time they load the page, you would check a session variable that you
use store the status of a specific page. E.g.

if($_SESSION['ReloadStatus']['ContactUs'] == true)
{
//Page has already been loaded once. This is a reload.
//[ Your code here ] --\\
}
else
{
//Page hasn't already been loaded. This is the first visit.
//[ Your code here ] --\\

//Register this page as loaded:
$_SESSION['ReloadStatus']['ContactUs'] == true
}
