[PHP] Re: IP to geo-location advice
Patrick wrote: Hi Everyone Could anyone give me some advice on the best way to do IP to geo-location with php using open source code? Thanks in advance-Patrick That is not an easy problem. You can go to ARIN, APNIC, etc and get /8 and smaller assignments. But, if the new assignee hasn't SWIP'd their blocks, the world will think the old assignment is still true. Recently a block was assigned to a US company and their customers couldn't access hulu.com because there hadn't been a SWIP. hulu denied access because the block is still in the whois records as non-US. The big geolocation companies make a lot of mistakes. Because - they will not use a fine enough granularity to sort out where an ip connection is coming from. They'll usually stop at the last router within a large transit provider's block. For example: many local ISPs in northern california will all appear to be in stockton, etc. where some tier 1 routers are. For dynamic ip ranges it is even messier. For now, ip geolocation is very fuzzy. Much better to go by zip code or postal code. At least when zip areas are merged or changed you might get sufficient advance notice. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

They also believe that there is indifference (if not outright hostility) to php/win in the php developer community. Personally, I could care less about further entrenchment of windows in the business world. I'd like to see MS disappear. Unfortunately, these issues are real. If the point is to alienate businesses with a who cares about windows attitude, then why bother with win-php at all? If there is merit to introducing open source to current windows users, then why make it difficult to do so? Just looking to make life easier. Don't blame me for the attitudes of those who pay me.

[PHP] Exceptions
Peeps,
I'm having an issue where throwing Exceptions are displaying a blank page
even though the Exception is being caught in a try...catch statement. This
is happening on our production server where warnings, errors, exceptions,
etc. are not to be displayed to the user. The assumption is that even
though an Exception is being thrown it should be caught rather than
displaying a blank page. Is there a specific configuration variable that
needs to be set in php.ini to allow warnings to not be displayed but
Exceptions to still be caught? Or is this just a bug? Here is some code
that replicates the issue:
try {
closeCallTracker($appId, $salesRepId);
} catch (Exception $e) {
// No need to display anything to user if call tracker is not closed
}
function closeCallTracker($appId, $salesRepId) {
// Some code here...
// A pretty near example of why the Exception is being thrown in our
system
if ($callTrackerAlreadyClosed) {
throw new Exception('Can not close a call tracker that has already
been closed.');
}
}
I'm expecting the program to continue as normal as the Exception has been
caught appropriately... but instead this code is displaying a blank page.
We're using PHP: 5.1.2 on SuSe
This is really a bizarre issue and any help would be greatly appreciated.
I've searched PHP.net and Google far too long on this issue. Thank you in
advance.

Re: [PHP] Exceptions
Nathan,
I was hoping for a bug! I'll take a deeper look at the ini. More research
is needed, me thinks.
It's become apparent that throwing an Exception for this particular case
doesn't really make sense. I'll just return early rather than throwing an
exception. The logging suggestion is a great idea, but not realistic given
the amount of times this function is called.
Thank you for your help! I'll update the list with my findings.

Peter,
you are doing something called swallowing the exception. it may make sense
for your application to
continue processing if the closeCallTracker method throws an error, but at
a
minimum you should
log the details of the exception so that you know why its occurring;
something like:
try {
closeCallTracker($appId, $salesRepId);
} catch (Exception $e) {
// No need to display anything to user if call tracker is not closed
MyPHPLog::logMsg($e-getMessage());
}
also, i would assume processing does continue after you swallow the
exception. in order to determine
why a blank page is displaying you should follow the logic in your
application to the point where it sends
html to the client browser during a case where the closeCallTracker()
method
throws an error.

I have a system there users can put a picture of themselves by method of
URL in a MySQL field, however many of this image URL's do not work as
users type them in wrong. So what I wanted to do was find a way to test
to see if the image can be accessed, then if not display a default

Use curl,
or
write a script that executes a telnet session that issues
HEAD commands
The key command is the HEAD path-to-resource HTTP/1.0
Most servers are HTTP/1.1, but using 1.0 keeps backward compatibility.
The path-to-resource is whatever the path is that would appear after the
domain in the url.
You would want to split the submitted URL into domain and path.
You issue the telnet to $domain at port 80
telnet $domain 80
You issue the HEAD command
HEAD /path-to-resource HTTP/1.0
What follows is the servers response. I've included live
examples of both a 200 response (resource exists)
and a 404 response (resource does not exist).
Parse the responses and you will know that something
exists or not.
