I agree with chris and I do the same thing, also with a class or a 
wrapper function/s that handle your queries you can also decided on what 
databases the query should run, say you have Master-Slave  replication 
setup with mysql, you could run selects on the slaves and updates/delete

[PHP] session mysteriously killed

2009-01-20 Thread clive

Hi

we have an web based intranet system, users started reporting that they 
kept getting logged out, and the log outs were happening randomly.


There is no coded any were that refers to sessions other than the 
login/logout and header file.


Ive increased the session.cookie_lifetime to something stupid like 6 
days, it was initially zero,, I might set it back to this, I also 
increased the session.gc_maxlifetime to a huge value, but still the 
problem persists.


I have a bit of code in the header (where we check if the user has valid 
session credentials) logging messages when someone is logged out and 
from what file they were accessing with they got logged out, there is no 
discernible pattern, Im stumped,


Does anyone have any idea how the session variables can be disappearing?

No its using the file system


If the field type is, say, text, and you put something large in $_SESSION, 
you'll have truncated data, the session manager can't unserialize it, and you 
will have a silent failure when they try to do their next task -- They get 
logged out and there it is.



Add a custom error handler and you can track what is going on, by logging each 
function call to the handler.

  
that may be the only option here, the intranet app is being replaced, so 
Im trying not to do much work on the old one, just this strangeness is 
getting annoying.

Paul M Foster wrote:

I'd like a side check on what I'm doing to print on our internal
network.

We have an internal server/site which uses PHP code I've written to
run the business-- invoicing, A/P, inventory, etc. Some things, like
invoices and reports, need to be printed. Now remember, the code is on
the server, and we access it from our client machines on our desks. When
we print, we do so to our local printers, attached to the client
machines.

So the best way I could think of to making printing work was to generate
PDFs of whatever needs to be printed, dump the PDF on the server, and
provide a link to the PDF on the web page. The user clicks on the
generated PDF, and his/her browser opens up Acrobat or xpdf, and prints
from that application to their local machine.

Is that a reasonable way to implement this? Any better ideas?

Re: [PHP] session mysteriously killed

2009-01-20 Thread clive

further to my last email,

the bit of code that checks if the person is logged in looks something 
like this:


if ( isset ( $_SESSION['loggedin']  )  )   { 


   //check some other session variables

} else {

   //log reason for logging the user out
   //redirect to login page

}

The variable, $_COOKIE['PHPSESSID'], has a value when a log out occurs 
and when I check the session save path, a file exists that corresponds 
the PHPSESSID sent via the cookie and it has all the right values, so 
$_SESSION['loggedin'] does exits and has a value.


Its almost like php has a problem accessing the sess_ 
file sometimes.

What about historical data, would you not want to know that studentX was

You could also have a 2nd database with the same table structure and

Im not saying that a custom framework is the right way, just that I

Re: [PHP] Looks like a bug with Smarty

   domail('smartylist',$question);



Hi All,

I using html_options smarty tag to output an associative array in select
drop down.
Here a sample associative array:

array(5) {
  [CN-PEK-KEJ]=
  array(1) {
[198]=
string(7) TechTst
  }
  [IE-DUB-GAS]=
  array(2) {
[177]=
string(10) store room
[39]=
string(10) TechStop 2
  }
  [UK-LON-BEL]=
  array(1) {
[88]=
string(16) TechStop-LON-BEL
  }
  [IE-DUB-GOR]=
  array(1) {
[159]=
string(10) TechStop 1
  }
  [US-NYC-9TH]=
  array(1) {
[194]=
string(12) TestTechStop
  }
}


and the syntax I have used to output this was:
{html_options name='locationId' options=$locations
selected=$selectedLocation}
where in I assign $selectedLocation with one of the options after selecting
them.

Even after everything being right, the option thats been selected is not set
but it again goes back to show the first option after submit.

Looks like either smarty misinterprets this selected option or is there
something wrong from my end.

Cheers

Is there a way to preserve the multiple spaces?

[PHP] Effect of syntax error in php.ini

2007-06-12 Thread Clive Gould
Hi

I have come across some very strange behavior with php-4.3.9-3.22.5 when
using Moodle 1.8+ on a CentOS 4.5 Linux platform.

If I accidentally corrupt the php.ini file as follows and restart Apache
all is well and admin/index.php displays correctly. The corrupt section in
php.ini is shown below:

; Resource Limits ;
;;;

max_execution_time = 30
max_input_time = 60
memory_limit = 60M  ; Maximum amount of memory a script
may consume

If I correct the comment line by removing the carriage return after the
word script and restart Apache the page admin/index.php just comes up
blank. The uncorrupted section in php.ini is shown below:

; Resource Limits ;
;;;

max_execution_time = 30
max_input_time = 60
memory_limit = 60M  ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume

What effect does introducing a syntax error into php.ini have?

Anyone any idea what on earth is happening here???

Any suggestions most welcome...

hmm if you want to allow the user to download the file, then just send

then echo the contents of the file.


remember your application may spit out some other bits of text and this

Re: [PHP] echo or print ?

2007-04-17 Thread clive


What do you guys use, and what is the advantage (if ther is any) of 
print over echo? And I am not talking about print_r or anything, just 
the regular print. :o)


print returns a result, echo doesn't. This makes echo slightly faster 
than print, but I doubt theres any significant speed improvement using 
echo instead of print.


I use echo, but thats just because its a habit.

Re: [PHP] Add New Records Only!

you could do a serialized md5 of sum of the more unique columns from 
your db abd use that as a unique identifier for the row. Then you would 
need to compare this 'key' before doing a insert.


Also keeping a log of the date and time of the last operation would help 
 as then you only need to select rows newer than that dates, thats 
provided of course your source data has a datetime column.

I need to goto  different PHP pages in my web site depending on what

For example, if the user is not logged in when he goes to a page, I want

I've have everything working fine, using the following Javascript code:
$location = 'login.php';
echo script language='javascript'\n;
echo document.location.href = ' . $location . ';\n;
echo /script\n;

I also played around with using the header(location: ...) function.

I understand that the header() function must be issued before any HMTL 
is output.


But I'm not sure about the Javascript code. In every instance in my 
code, I use the Javascript before any HTML - this type of action 
normally occurs in PHP code called via a form POST.


I presume that the Javascript code really does the same as the PHP 
stuff, and thus must obey the same rules, but I'm not sure.

Comments?

You could just put the bit of code that does the redirect above the HTML,

or use ob_start() at the beginning of your php file and
ob_end_flush() at the end, if you need to do a redirect then call 
ob_end_clean() before the header() function.


and as some one else mentioned with clever use of a switch-case and 
includes you can avoid header() redirects entirely.

But, I want echo the file name of a.php from a.php and I dont want to

While that will certainly read PHP into a variable, it won't evaluate
the contents. Then you're stuck with eval. This has the undesirable
effect of not being able to take advantage of any opcode cache that may
be installed.


true, but Ross did not mention anything about evaluating/running code in

Perhaps a session variable that is set once the form is submitted.

Depending on the data you could also look at having a primary key in the

You could also have a hidden form variable that has some random value,

firstly its better to use option value='10' 10 /option

this might also solve your problem if I understand your question correctly.



When the form is first printed the selected default (10) value is shown OK

So how to post the $limitorig if user doesn't change it but hits GO

why do you need to do this, would it not be simpler for the db admin to
