yeah it's great, all stable, and been used for years in most enterprise
apps - that's what flash remoting is; and AMF is adobe message format..
so official feature :) also mucho support in java etc (and all langs afaik).

It would probably bomb your performance but you could always call a
separate PHP script from your Perl code:

#!/usr/bin/perl

# do some stuff in perl

my $php_output = `/usr/bin/php whatever.php`

# do something with $php_output

1;

If you're just looking to add some features quickly to your existing
Perl code: Have you searched CPAN for what you need?

PHP can run under CGI, however you're asking about mixing PHP with Perl.
 CGI != Perl.  CGI is the interface that your scripts have to the
programs that run them (i.e. Perl or PHP, etc...).

I've never done it, but to have both Perl and PHP parsed in one file,
you'd have to configure Apache (or your webserver) to parse the file
using PHP and then Perl.  Not sure if it would do this sequencially though.

Another option may be to put the PHP in its own PHP file and then fetch
it into your Perl script.

Well, actually, to be strictly accurate, since ! is a Boolean operator,
if $var1 = 1 then !$var1 = FALSE.

No.

The second is seeing if $var1 is not equal to $var2.

The first one is doing a "not $var1" is equal to $var2 - which will 
change it from whatever it is into false. (It's currently set - so 
that's true, you're switching that - so it becomes false).

I wonder if that could be fixed by extending the class.
I'll have to look at it, I like standards compliance, the web would be a

Thanks for that. I understand. Somehow, I had tried OR at one point but

However, I am puzzled that using & (not &&) did give a lot of results,

&& means "and".

"&" is a bitwise operation.

These pages explain it much better than I can.

Say $Auth = "I", $Auth1 = "J", $Auth2 = "K".
The above sub-query is stating select author ids where the first digit in
last_name is I AND the first digit in last_name is J AND the first digit in
last_name is K.  For any given last_name (thus, author id), the first digit
can only be one of those options, thus this sub-query will return ZERO
results.

To get a sub-query that will only return results that start with I, J,
or K,you can instead use the following sub-query:
SELECT author.id FROM author WHERE LEFT(last_name, 1) = '$Auth' OR
LEFT(last_name, 1) = '$Auth1' OR LEFT(last_name, 1) = '$Auth2'

The above will return all author IDs where the surname starts with I, J, or
K.

 First, I don't understand what the difference is supposed to be between
 & and && - is there a difference for php and/or mysql?
 Second, I am trying to select all occurrences in a table.column where
 the first letter of the name is I, J, or K but not I or J or K; I want
 the all. Now, entering the following is no problem for any one letter:
 SELECT * FROM book
 WHERE id IN (SELECT bookID
 FROM book_author WHERE authID IN (SELECT author.id
 FROM author
 WHERE LEFT(last_name, 1 ) = '$Auth' ));

 But the following does not work:

 SELECT * FROM book
 WHERE id IN (SELECT bookID
 FROM book_author WHERE authID IN (SELECT author.id
 FROM author WHERE LEFT(last_name, 1 ) = '$Auth' &&
 LEFT(last_name, 1 ) = '$Auth1' && LEFT(last_name, 1 ) = '$Auth2'));

 Yet this gives off the wall results where the last names are nowhere
 near what they should be.
 Anyone have a rational explanation?

I did fix it - it seems that OR does the trick.

Not really clear... I thought that $b+ would == 3 ; why two + ?

But this does not explain the weir results I am getting; and BTW, if I
use AND does not work either.
What am I supposed to use to get the results I am looking for?

I unfortunately have to with my job, as most of the visitors to our

"encouraging" them to move to Firefox ;)

My experience too.

However, my Website is about Renewable Energies, Low-Energie Electronics
and Open Source (GNU/Linux) so I do not realy care about IE.  :-D

In my experience, it's usually IE that is doing the misbehaving.

Terion: Install Firefox and the "HTML Validator" extension. It is a perfect tool 
for you. It will clearly identify all the HTML errors and warnings, AND point 
you to how to fix them. It uses Tidy, which classifies many errors as warnings.


However, you should fix them. Your page has 21 serious warnings many of which 
are errors that will affect rendering. After you've fixed the warnings and 
errors it finds, run the W3C HTML Validator.


Also, install the Firefox extension "Validate CSS". Run it on your page. It has 
8 bad errors.


These tools are great learning aids.

Incidentally, I'm not a fan of frames, often causes problems.

Here's something for fixing IE with hacks:

http://www.ashleysheridan.co.uk/coding_html_comments.php

basically it lets you add in extra IE-only stylesheets using comment
code only recognised by IE, and you can use !important to stress your IE
styles. Best thing though is it validates through the W3C because it is
just an HTML comment.

On my dev sites I embed the CSS, on production it gets exported to an
external version-named file as part of the build process.

The CSS must be in the HTML Header like



  CSS Example
  
  
#body { background-color: magenta; }
  



...rest of the page


Today must be my "Arrr" day.

Don't embed css in document -- just put what you want in your css file.

If IE has a problem with it, then deal with IE within the css file. 
There are css hacks if you can't find a way around the problem.


But embedding css style rules is a real "no-no" in my book -- there's 
no reason to do it.

Did you know you can use Gmail for webmail, even having the From:

(well, with ten thousand mailboxes that would be "a lot") but you end
with one of the best webmail clients there is.


While this is a little off topic there are lots of reasons not to do 
this. For one, the IMAP support in GMail, while very welcome, does have 
different paradigms than traditional email systems. I actually prefer 
the GMail approach of labels rather than "real" folders, but until this 
is exported as part of the IMAP protocol and clients like thunderbird 
support and are aware of it, it's sadly quite clunky to work with. 
(things like copying/moving mails is bit of a headfuk cos you're not 
really copying them, you're labeling them and it shouldn't be purged 
from the inbox, because the inbox is just a "new mail" filter etc. etc.


As the original problem showed a IMAP+Webmail solution, I'd imagine IMAP 
support and a dedicated client is important.

We have, and it affects the regular MSSQL functions, but not
PDO_MSSQL. What's more, I just discovered that with PDO_MSSQL, not
only are TEXT/NTEXT fields truncated to 4K, VARCHAR/NVARCHAR fields
are apparently truncated to 255 characters.

Re: [PHP] Re: PHP and MySQL SELECT COUNT (*)

[Vinny Gullotta]

Thanks all, I appreciate the follow ups and the help with the code. I'm 
still relatively new with this stuff, and never had any formal training, 
it's all just been learn as I go, and I have to learn fast as this project 
is relatively urgent to get completed. I plan on going through all of my 
code on all of these pages and cleaning it up at the end to make it more 
efficient, so I will use these tips to help do that.


Thanks again to all who helped troubleshoot this. It is working great now 
and I think my bosses will be happy. =D

Re: [PHP] Re: PHP and MySQL SELECT COUNT (*)

[Chris]

1: SQL
in mysql queries /should/ use backticks (`) around database, table and 
column names, stop's them getting confused with variables or reserved 
words (like timestamp) and saves you future trouble :)


.. which is a mysql-ism - no other database supports this. As soon as 
you need to use another db (regardless of whether it's this application 
or not), you're stuffed.


For reserved word column names, you don't have much choice but don't do 
that in the first place ;)


http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/reserved-words.html

Other db's will have a similar list - though in most cases, if it's a 
function or sql keyword (eg 'table'), it'll be reserved in all.


further, you'll be needing to use AS to turn COUNT(steps) into a nice 
name like "stepcount"


Which is also a mysql-ism. Most other db's don't let you use aggregate 
aliases in an order by clause (I think because the sql standard says 
don't do that).

Vinny Gullotta wrote:
What I want to do is find the top 10 servers where the column steps = 
iisreset. The following code works great except that the page is not 
displaying the servername in the 'Server Name' column of my results 
(nothing appears, the column is just blank).


servername and steps are the important columns in the database table. 
$_POST[time1] and $_POST[time2] come from a form submitted.


When I copy and paste the entire select statement into the SQL tab in 
phpmyadmin (and replace the time variables with actual times 
corresponding to the timestamp column), it displays the correct results 
including servername. Everything works in the php page's results except 
for the servername. I feel like it's right in front of my face and 
that's why I can't see it lol. Any help would be greatly appreciated. 
Thanks in advance =)


My code...

$query = "SELECT servername, COUNT(steps) FROM monitoring WHERE steps 
LIKE 'iisreset' AND timestamp <= '$_POST[time2]' AND timestamp >= 
'$_POST[time1]' GROUP BY servername ORDER BY COUNT(*) DESC LIMIT 10";

$result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());

# display column titles
echo "";
echo "Count";
echo "Server 
Name";

echo "";

#display results
while($i = mysql_fetch_row($result))
{
echo "", $i[COUNT('steps')], 
"";

echo "", $i[servername] ,"";
}
echo "";


just a few little notes.. because I'm like this today

(none of it is a you must do, or meant badly, just aiming to save you 
some time by passing on a few *things*)


1: SQL
in mysql queries /should/ use backticks (`) around database, table and 
column names, stop's them getting confused with variables or reserved 
words (like timestamp) and saves you future trouble :)


further, you'll be needing to use AS to turn COUNT(steps) into a nice 
name like "stepcount"


so..
$query = 'SELECT `servername`, COUNT(`steps`) AS stepcount FROM 
`monitoring` WHERE `steps` LIKE "iisreset" AND `timestamp` <= ' . 
$_POST[time2] . ' AND `timestamp` >= ' . $_POST[time1] . ' GROUP BY 
`servername` ORDER BY COUNT(*) DESC LIMIT 10';


2: you should be cleaning those posts before you add them to a mysql 
query; this has been covered many times so I won't repost it 
(mysql_real_escape() or sprintf or.. many different methods]


3: Needless multiple echo's; one will suffice just fine and show it up 
in your editor as a nice easily visible block of html :)


echo '
Count
Server Name
';

4: valid xhtml; in my opinion there's no excuse now; it's been years 
since it came out (and you're already using css); this will do the same 
as above:

echo '

Count
Server Name
';

[css to center the table would be]
table.center {
margin: 0 auto;
}

5: mysql_fetch_row() returns a numerical indexed array.. not associative 
thus:

$i = mysql_fetch_row($result)
print_r($i);

will show..
$i[0] => the server name
$i[1] => stepcount value

you'll be needing
$i = mysql_fetch_assoc($result);
print_r($i);

which will show
$i['servername'] => the server name
$i['stepcount'] => stepcount value

6: " vs '
when you use " php will parse the enclosed string for variables, when 
you use ' it won't; so ' leads for faster code, and also encourages you

In Linux, the newline is "\n", but...

Under Windows, the newline isn't "\n", it's "\r\n"

In the Mac world it's "\r"

Now the browsers are running on whatever platform, and the user is
copying/pasting in text or whatever, and the data you get PROBABLY is
using the newline encoding of the web browser client platform.

So, to normalize any input with newlines, do this:

//assuming basic ASCII text data input:
$data = str_replace("\r\n", "\n", $data);
$data = str_replace("\r", "\n", $data);

Store that normalized text in the database.

When you DISPLAY the text to the user, you might want to use:
echo nl2br($data);

[PHP] Re: PHP and XML

[Myron Turner]

I'm not sure you are going about this the right way.  It's my impression 
that you may not yet have learned the basics of XML.  Really, the very 
basics are quite simple.  For your address book, for instance, you could 
create a simple XML structure such as this:















Then write a script which fills in the data.

1. Start out with the document root:
echo "";
2. Fill in the data:
echo "$first_name";
echo "$last_name";
   And so forth.

3. Finish off with the document root:
echo "";

You can include the XML header once at the top of your file:



You don't need a special class or set of third-party functions to do a 
simple task like this.  You can easily write your own, and it will parse 
with any XML parser.

[PHP] Re: php and session issues continued...

[Tom Atkinson]

How are you setting the location?

If the user starts at www.yoursite.com and you redirect to yoursite.com 
after the first form then you'll lose the session since it's a different 
domain.




Dave Goodchild wrote:

Hi all. I have a session issue and wondered if anyone else has encountered
this:

I have an app where a user fills out 3 forms. In each case, after 
validation

and cleaning the form data is passed into session variables and after the
final submission the data is entered into the database. I am using both
Firefox and IE6 on Windows XP and the system works like a dream. However, a
user testing on IE6/XP is having some problems. The values from the first
form are not being passed into the session.

When each form is successfully processed the user is redirected to the next
stage using header('Location...'). I call session_write_close before 
that to

ensure the session data is written out before the redirect, but the problem
persists.

Anyone recognise this issue. It is not IE-specific as it happens to me on
Firefox intermittently. I am at my wits end! Thanks in advance for any 
help!

I know yui've alreayd solved this, but for what it's worth, the first
form of statement is preferred to the second.

In the second you are applying a MYSQL function to a field which will
have to be repeated many times, in the first, you are applying a MYSQL
function to a constant which only has to be computed once.

Even now you have the solution, it may be worth considering the order of
your check and if possible use the MYSQL function ont he constant not
the field to get the additional performance gain.

Re: [PHP] Re: Php and Cygwin SVN

[Adam Zey]

Look into the syntax of the Windows command "start" (open a console and 
type "start /?"). It's purpose is to start other processes, and it 
provides some flexibility as to how they're launched. One of the options 
is to hide the console windows.

Upgrade your MySQL distribution to the latest version (5+).

 

Upgrade any shared MySQL libraries to the latest distribute.

 

Recompile MySQL with mysqli support.

 

http://php.net/mysqli

 

And use that instead of the regular MySQL functions.

 

That's what I did and it has made a huge difference.

 

Not to mention, the mysqli library has so many more functions available to
you.

Re: [PHP] Re: PHP and email

[Anas Mughal]

I have implemeted a system that dispatches between 600 to 2000 emails every
night. An email is sent for each recepient. My system is hosted on a shared
Linus server. I have not heard any complaints from the hosting company so
far.

Here are my recommendations:

- Have a cron job that kicks off your PHP script at intervals long enough to
guarantee the completion of an earlier execution of the script.
- Have a sleep interval between a predefined number of emails sent. You need
to figure out what works well for you depending on your dispatch frequency,
etc. (I would keep the sleep interval short.)
- No need to nice anything. The problem is the load on the smtp server. You
need to give it some time to process what you sent already before sending
more emails.
- Log all outbound activity. We log the email addresses of who receives each
message. That provides auditing and helps in recovering any failures.
- We use flags in our database to flag what messages were sent successfully.
That way, we can search and resend any failed messages.

Hope this helps.

I have done it just as John has described above, though I didn't have 
8000
to send.  All went well, no hiccups.  A couple of things I would 
mention is

that I seem to remember reading somewhere that the sleep() function on
Windows eats a lot of processor.  Not an issue for me since I'm on Linux,
but worth a mention.  And the function John suggested above will take 
over

22 hours to send 8000 emails.  Since you say its a one shot deal, its
probably OK.



I don't think the long running script with sleep function is the best 
approach to this problem. I would recommend writing the whole queue 
somewhere (to database) and run script every 5 minutes, load some not 
sent yet e-mails (100), send them and write info (it_was_sent tag) back 
to database.


What's to stop you from writing this 'sent tag' using the sleep method? 
 What I wouldn't like about the every 5 minutes cron method is that the 
script will run _every_ five minutes regardless if it's sending mail or 
not.  Not to mention the fact that even with a small number like a 100, 
you could still cause problems with the mail server trying to make that 
many SMTP connections in less than a second or two.


It's always better to not have long running script, you never know what 
can go wrong and if it fails somewhere or process is killed or machine 
rebooted or something happens, you don't know which emails were sent and 
which not. And there's no stupidest thing as sending the same company 
newsletter twice to the same client.


You computer is full of scripts/programs/daemons that have long 
runs...some 24/7.  That isn't a problem as long as you think ahead. 
With proper logging, I can easily pick up where I left off should the 
script fail for one reason or another.

but worth a mention.  And the function John suggested above will take over
22 hours to send 8000 emails.  Since you say its a one shot deal, its
probably OK.



I don't think the long running script with sleep function is the best 
approach to this problem. I would recommend writing the whole queue 
somewhere (to database) and run script every 5 minutes, load some not 
sent yet e-mails (100), send them and write info (it_was_sent tag) back 
to database.


It's always better to not have long running script, you never know what 
can go wrong and if it fails somewhere or process is killed or machine 
rebooted or something happens, you don't know which emails were sent and 
which not. And there's no stupidest thing as sending the same company 
newsletter twice to the same client.

I have a couple of Rails apps on my own server with other PHP apps
running there too.  Apache will run mod_fcgi and mod_php at the same
time with no problems.

I have it working on Windows, Apache, PHP5

A few checks you could make:

Are you sure that var_name is the name of the file upload field in your
form?
Have you set the form enctype to "multipart/form-data"?
Have you set the maxfilesize attribute, and does the file you are trying to
upload exceed that size?

Good luck

How do I connect a php script running on linux with Active Directory on

read email addresses from the AD server. Can this be done? I've found a
bunch of ldap functions for php but they seem to require ldap to be
installed on linux. I'm confused. Thanks in advance for your help.

The problem is you haven't shown us the code you are using, nor the

Whenever you hit a rewrite rule, the file knows what the original

And then ?
I have e.g. 8x6 click maps, pointing all to the same index.php ?
How do the CGI know on which map I have clicked ?

And using rewrites on my webserver is no option because they are
people which can not do that.

Firstly, please don't reply to existing threads with a completely new

In this situation I would simply use the PHP execution functions

I haven't ever done anything with that new-fangled fingerprint reader

coming from that machine then there is some way to capture that ID and 
send it to a webserver.  So just find out how a user can obtain this 
digital fingerprint in file / text format and then send the file / text 
to the server via a form.


But as the other poster has already suggested this is a client side 
issue and about the only thing that you can do is find some way for the 
person to send the fingerprint to you.

You may want to try this HTTP client class that lets you POST arbitrary

No idea what a 'TLA' is in this context, but you're definitely missing
the point.

There is no such thing as 'client side java', it's just Java, whether
it's an applet or a servlet or a cli app.  Java is compiled into
bytecode then executed, while Javascript is parsed like (you guessed
it) a scripting language.  Furthermore, Java was created by Sun, while
Javascript was created by Netscape.  Other than the name collision,
they have very little to do with each other.

Java and Javascript are completely different things. You would be fooling 
yourself and making a fool of yourself if you think otherwise.
