Further to my email last week, I've now indexed all the fields that get
searched
on (i.e. sql statement is similar to "select x, y from table where
x='blah'" - x
is the indexed field).

Is that the correct field to index?
[/snip]

Yes, have you tried an EXPLAIN on your SELECT?

[snip]
Sorry for it being so long, but that's the table!
[/snip]

Have you considered the MySQL mailing list?

[snip]
Currently there are 1.5 million (1,500,00) records, and searching the
table for
the last 10 records is taking up to 40 seconds.
e.g. select unixtime, type, subtype, src, dst, msg, pri from syslog
where
type='ips' ORDER BY unixtime DESC LIMIT 10
Does anyone have any suggestions for improving the search?
[/snip]

Bigger, faster hardware....really, what are you running this on? I have
some tables nearing the 500,000,000 (half a billion) records mark
running on multi-processor servers that do searches in under a minute.

POST versus GET is an aesthetic choice, not Security, not Performance.


Of course, I agree it's not really a 'security' choice.

But another think you can think of can be found in the HTTP/1.1 spec
(rfc 2616) in the 'Safe Methods' section [1]. To summarize:

- GET (and HEAD) should only retreive things, with no side effect
- POST (and others) means taking action (with side effects)

It's 'sould', not 'must' or 'must not'. Anyway, I think its worth
a few seconds to think about it.

Christophe

From [1] :

------------------------------------------------------------------------

9.1.1 Safe Methods

   Implementors should be aware that the software represents the user in
   their interactions over the Internet, and should be careful to allow
   the user to be aware of any actions they might take which may have an
   unexpected significance to themselves or others.

   In particular, the convention has been established that the GET and
   HEAD methods SHOULD NOT have the significance of taking an action
   other than retrieval. These methods ought to be considered "safe".
   This allows user agents to represent other methods, such as POST, PUT
   and DELETE, in a special way, so that the user is made aware of the
   fact that a possibly unsafe action is being requested.

   Naturally, it is not possible to ensure that the server does not
   generate side-effects as a result of performing a GET request; in
   fact, some dynamic resources consider that a feature. The important
   distinction here is that the user did not request the side-effects,
   so therefore cannot be held accountable for them.

You have to trick the browser into thinking that the jpg file is something
other then a jpg.  This is sketchy and does not always work.

Something like this maybe
             $len = filesize($file_path);
             header("Content-Type: application/force-download");
             header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream");
             header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$file");
             header("Content-Title: $file_path");
             header("Content-Length: $len");
             readfile($file_path);

            $fh=fopen($file_path,'rt');
             @fclose($fh);

You are probably best off searching the PHP source for
session_set_save_handler.  It will be something like
PHP_FUNCTION('session_set_save_handler', ... )

Found it and some other functions in php-5.0.3/ext/session/session.c
I could however not find any documentation of the code, so I think I'll have 
to contact Sascha and/or Andrei.

Thanks for the reply!

The short answer is it would download it to the server, not the client
on which Firefox is running.  But if you were wanting to transfer the
file to the client, I'd think you could do something creative like this:

1. Have your script download the file from the remote server.
2. Once the file has been downloaded, display a new page to the browser
with a link to the file.
3. Then the user can click the link to retrieve/open the file.

Now this may not be the best solution, it just happens to be what I
could think of off the top of my head.  There may be better ways to
accomplish the same thing.

Hope that helps!

Sometimes I've forgotten to take out the debugging output. Now, on my server here, the page redirects and loads fine. But in the live environment, it craps out and people are left staring at a blank page.

This means that on the live server, error_reporting is at such a level that the Warning that is generated by php -- the "Cannot modify header information output started at ...." line isn't displayed, and since there is output to the client, the header() call fails, which is why you are left with a white screen.

You can use output buffering to avoid such a problem; there is also the header_sent() function.

It was in fact the active/passive thing!  Being a newbie to phpunit2, I
didn't realize that each test creates a new object; thus, although I had
a test to test the passive function, the passive connection to the ftp
server got destroyed with the object at the end of that test.  So, I had
to modify my test code to set the active connection to passive within
each test.

Hi

I have tried creating a script which will allow our core staff to upload
files to our FTP server.

I don't have a problem with the uploading of a local file to our FTP server
with the correct authentication etc, the problem I am having, is that the
file which gets uploaded always has the filename of 'www.ourdomain.net'
which is the destination web server name.

I have a form, which has a file 'browse' element. PHP stores the local file
in /tmp/ as with a temporary file name (I can see this with
$_FILES['$file']['tmp_name']), but I don't know why it gets converted to
'www.ourdomain.net' in the final stages?

My code (rough, but you get the idea);

Thanks for any help

$ftp_server = '<OUR FTP SERVER>';
$un         = $_REQUEST['ftp_un'];

$file       = $_FILES['ftp_f']['name'];

Since that is a client-side issue and PHP is server-side the best you
could do is to redirect to the page putting the anchor in the URL.
Whether or not the browser will actually pay attention to your anchor
and move the page is another story.

Hi All,
I'm new to PHP, but have read my "Beginning PHP 5 and MySQL" manual and have searched the net for a solution to my (presumably simple) problem.

I have a series of HTML forms that need to be processed. I am tring to build a "process.php" file which will evaluate the FORM variable and select the proper code from a SWITCH statement. I have processed these forms using a different construct with IF ELSE statments, but it's getting messy and SWITCH looked like a good solution. The problem is that it doesn't work - isn't that always the problem! I can't find anything but simple examples of SWITCH usage on the net. Would someone be good enough to evaluate this script? Much thanks!!
Below is the "process.php" script and the form tags go something like this:
<FORM action="process.php" method="post" name="form" value="addcontact">
   Some fields go here...
</FORM>
<FORM action="process.php method="post" name="form" value="addletter">
   More fields go here...
</FORM>
<?php
//Include database access info
include("setup.php");
//Connect to the database server
@mysql_connect($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass)or die(mysql_error());
@mysql_select_db ($db) or die(mysql_error());
//<------ Begin Main Script ------>
$x = $_POST['form'];
//Evaluate which form we are receiving and process the results
switch ($x) {
case "addcontact":
//Get the form variables
$cgroup = $_POST['cgroup'];
$fname = $_POST['fname'];
$lname = $_POST['lname'];
$address = $_POST['address'];
$city = $_POST['city'];
$state = $_POST['state'];
$zipcode = $_POST['zipcode'];
$phone = $_POST['phone'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
//Insert form data into the database
$query = "INSERT INTO contacts SET cgroup='$cgroup', fname='$fname', lname='$lname', address='$address', city='$city', state='$state', zipcode='$zipcode', phone='$phone', email='$email'";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die (mysql_error());
break;

case "addletter":
//Get the form variables
$lgroup = $_POST['lgroup'];
$lname = $_POST['lname'];
$content = $_POST['lcontent'];
//Insert form data into the database
$query = "INSERT INTO letters SET lgroup='$lgroup', lname='$lname', lcontent='$lcontent'";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die (mysql_error());

I think the problem is that the name and value attributes of the <form> 
tag aren't posted with the rest of the data, i.e., $_POST['form'] isn't 
defined.

You will need to code the form identifier a different way, e.g., either a 
<hidden> field, or, unique name and value attributes in a <submit> button.

Below is the "process.php" script and the form tags go something like
this:
<FORM action="process.php" method="post" name="form" value="addcontact">
Some fields go here...
</FORM>
<FORM action="process.php method="post" name="form" value="addletter">
   More fields go here...
</FORM>
<?php
//Include database access info
include("setup.php");
//Connect to the database server
@mysql_connect($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass)or die(mysql_error());
@mysql_select_db ($db) or die(mysql_error());
//<------ Begin Main Script ------>
$x = $_POST['form'];
//Evaluate which form we are receiving and process the results
switch ($x) {
case "addcontact":
//Get the form variables
$cgroup = $_POST['cgroup'];
$fname = $_POST['fname'];
$lname = $_POST['lname'];
$address = $_POST['address'];
$city = $_POST['city'];
$state = $_POST['state'];
$zipcode = $_POST['zipcode'];
$phone = $_POST['phone'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
//Insert form data into the database
$query = "INSERT INTO contacts SET cgroup='$cgroup', fname='$fname', lname='$lname', address='$address', city='$city', state='$state', zipcode='$zipcode', phone='$phone', email='$email'";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die (mysql_error());
break;

case "addletter":
//Get the form variables
$lgroup = $_POST['lgroup'];
$lname = $_POST['lname'];
$content = $_POST['lcontent'];
//Insert form data into the database
$query = "INSERT INTO letters SET lgroup='$lgroup', lname='$lname', lcontent='$lcontent'";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die (mysql_error());
break;
}
mysql_close();
?>
//END SCRIPT

I must concur.   PHP nuke has never even been the slightest resource hog
on any of my machines.

Where did you hear that PHP Nuke required a powerful server?  I personally
implemented PHP Nuke on a Windoz box (one strike there), that ran on a 166
mmx box (a big second strike), and benchmarked it handling 90 concurrent
users, with no noticeable delays.  If I were you, I'd dig deeper into what
you heard and you may find that someone had another agenda in mind when
they passed along that info.  It's unfortunate, but there are lots of
people in the IT field that distort results to justify an already
conceived opinion.

go figure,
Warren Vail

Hello all,

I am writing a script that uses curl to access a
webpage that is password protected and uses cookies. 
The webpage displays a graph on my browser and I would
like to capture and save that graph to a file.

This is the url I am using in curlopt_url :

http://10.10.10.22:8080/NetPerfMon/ViewChart.asp?Chart=AVGRTLOSS&NetObject=N:4&Period=Today&SampleSize=30M&ReBuild=TRUE&FontSize=Medium&Width=640&Height=0";)

If I cut and paste this to my browser the graph gets
displayed but when I use my sript this is the ouput of
the curl_exec:

<img
src="/NetPerfMon/Chart.asp?Chart=AVGRTLOSS&NetObject=N:4&Period=Today&SampleSize=30M&ReBuild=TRUE&FontSize=Medium&Width=640&Height=0"
border="0">

Which is not what I want, I actually want to grab and
save the image that I see on my browser. 

Can this be done and can someone help me out ?

Thanks,

from the output of curl_exec extract the url:
/NetPerfMon/Chart.asp?Chart=AVGRTLOSS&NetObject=N:4&Period=Today&SampleSize=30M&ReBuild=TRUE&FontSize=Medium&Width=640&Height=0
then make another call with curl_exec() using that url
the data you get back should be the image, save it to disk.
...thats basically what you browser would do.
or just use that url iso the url that you are currently
using (the one that outputs a page with (only!?) an img tag in it.)
Which is not what I want, I actually want to grab and
save the image that I see on my browser.

I only do stuff for my own server which actually creates a couple
 of server variables called:

 SERVER["DOMAIN_ROOT"] and SERVER["PHPINCDIR"] which have the same
 values as the script we just cobbled together for each virtual
 domain.
 I don't suffer from the problem of lack of access to the
 include directory, So all my domains follow this layout:

/usr/local/apache/domains/domain1.com //root and chroot for ftp
 access
/usr/local/apache/domains/domain1.com/www web document root

/usr/local/apache/domains/domain1.com/include for all include files

If a hosting provider locks you in to the document root it's time to
change provider :)
As for naming convention I use .inc and stop apache from serving .inc
files.

Hi,
I'm really new and getting lots of help but need some assistance.
I'm running a script which gets specific articles from a database if they're entered in the URL after the ? . For instance if someone asks for
www.foo.com/index.htm?a=1234
then the script would look for an database entry with the id of 1234 and display it in the page.

If there's no number specified (www.foo.com/index.htm) or if the number given is to an article which doesn't exist, it gets the titles of all the articles available and prints them as links to the proper article number.

I'd also like it to grab the first 200 characters of text from the $content field of the entry.

With help I have the title link part and I suspect I'm close but I keep messing up the syntax
The code is:
<snip>
if (!empty($where)) {
echo "
<ul>";
$article = mysql_fetch_assoc($result);
} else {
while ($article = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
$table_of_contents[] = "
<li><a href='{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?a={$article['article_id']}' title='{$article['title']}'>{$article['title']}</a><br />
$article['content'] = substr($article['content'], 0 200);</li>";
}
}
echo "
 </ul>";
</snip>
Can anyone help ?
Thanks in advance!

change these two lines to 

title='{$article['title']}'>{$article['title']}</a><br />".
substr($article['content'], 0, 200)."</li>";
