I had it set like this:
$fp = fopen($file, "r");
$contents = fread($fp, $file_size);
$encoded_file = chunk_split(base64_encode($contents));
fclose($fp);
unset($header);
$header = "FROM:$name_abs<$adresse_abs>\n";
$header.= "MIME-version: 1.0\n";
$header.= "Content-type: multipart/mixed; ";
$header.= "boundary=\"Message-Boundary\"\n";
$header.= "Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT\n";
$header.= "X-attachments: $file_name";
$body = "--Message-Boundary\n";
$body .= "Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII\n";
$body .= "Content-Disposition: inline";
$body .= "Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT\n";
$body .= "Content-description: Mail message body\n\n";
$body .= $text;
$body.= "\n\n--Message-Boundary\n";
$body.= "Content-type: $file_type; name=\"$file_name\"\n";
$body.= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: PLAINTEXT\n";
$body.= "Content-disposition: attachment; filename=\"$file_name\"\n\n";
$body.= "$encoded_file\n";
$body.= "--Message-Boundary--\n";
That's the same as a friend of mine uses it. He's saying it's working fine...
I'll try to do what you told me.

You must not give PLAINTEXT as encoding when you have it base64... use:
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
BTW, "PLAINTEXT" is not a MIME recognized encoding type. Excerpt from RFC2045:
--------------------[snip]--------------------
5.2. Content-Type Defaults
Default RFC 822 messages without a MIME Content-Type header are taken
by this protocol to be plain text in the US-ASCII character set,
which can be explicitly specified as:
Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
This default is assumed if no Content-Type header field is specified.
It is also recommend that this default be assumed when a
syntactically invalid Content-Type header field is encountered. In
the presence of a MIME-Version header field and the absence of any
Content-Type header field, a receiving User Agent can also assume
that plain US-ASCII text was the sender's intent. Plain US-ASCII
text may still be assumed in the absence of a MIME-Version or the
presence of an syntactically invalid Content-Type header field, but
the sender's intent might have been otherwise.
6.1. Content-Transfer-Encoding Syntax
The Content-Transfer-Encoding field's value is a single token
specifying the type of encoding, as enumerated below. Formally:
encoding := "Content-Transfer-Encoding" ":" mechanism
mechanism := "7bit" / "8bit" / "binary" /
"quoted-printable" / "base64" /
ietf-token / x-token
These values are not case sensitive -- Base64 and BASE64 and bAsE64
are all equivalent. An encoding type of 7BIT requires that the body
is already in a 7bit mail-ready representation. This is the default
value -- that is, "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7BIT" is assumed if the
Content-Transfer-Encoding header field is not present.
--------------------[snip]--------------------
Therefore, for plaintext headings you should use
Content-type: text/plain
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit (or 8bit, depends)

"Hallo" becomes "SGFsbG8=". That must have to do with encoding. Is that
a common problem or do you need the entire script?
You need to specify that the encoding is base64.
You may want to try this class that is able to compose and send complex
messages that include adding attachments, HTML messages with embedded
images, message bodies with alternative text and HTML versions, etc..

I agree totally.
So I'm trying to use the $_Server variables but I continue to get this
error:
Parse error: parse error, expecting 'T_STRNG' or 'T_VARIABLE' or
'T_NUM_STRING' in <blah, blah, blah> on line 33.
Here is the script that is doing this:
<?php
// File Name: auth04.php
// Check to see if $PHP_AUTH_USER already contains info
if (!isset($_SERVER["PHP_AUTH_USER"])) {
// If empty, send header causing dialog box to appear
header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="My Private
Stuff"');
header('HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized');
exit;
} else if (isset($_SERVER["PHP_AUTH_USER"])) {
// If non-empty, check the database for matches
// connect to MySQL
mysql_connect("hostname", "username", "password")
or die ("Unable to connect to database.");
// select database on MySQL server
mysql_select_db("dev_i2ii_com")
or die ("Unable to select database.");
// Formulate the query
$sql = "SELECT *
FROM users
WHERE username='$_SERVER["PHP_AUTH_USER"]' and
password='$_SERVER["PHP_AUTH_PW"]'";
// Execute the query and put results in $result
$result = mysql_query($sql);
// Get number of rows in $result. 0 if invalid, 1 if
valid.
$num = mysql_numrows($result);
if ($num != "0") {
echo "<P>You're authorized!</p>";
exit;
} else {
header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="My
Private Stuff"');
header('HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized');
echo 'Authorization Required.';
exit;
}
}
?>
----------------------
The data base stuff hasn't been put in yet, I'm just trying to get the
script to load cleanly before I trouble shoot the database connector
side.

Uh, no. That makes it think it's a constant, which generates a notice.

You need to put the array dereference in curly brackets:
$sql = "SELECT *
FROM users
WHERE username='{$_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER']}' and
password='{$_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW']}'";
Note that I used single quotes within the array - it's for the paranoid
like me only, it's a few nanosecs faster :)

Uh, no. Your problem is obvious:
$sql = "SELECT *
FROM users
WHERE username='$_SERVER["PHP_AUTH_USER"]' and
password='$_SERVER["PHP_AUTH_PW"]'";
You have double-quotes inside a double-quoted string.
Like I said, don't use quotes around the array index inside a quoted
string. So change the above to:
$sql = "SELECT *
FROM users
WHERE username='$_SERVER[PHP_AUTH_USER]' and
password='$_SERVER[PHP_AUTH_PW]'";
Constants are not expanded inside a quoted string, so that is the correct
way to handle array indices if you want to keep them inside the quoted
string.

Hi!
If you try this in php:
2002-01-6 > 2002-01-10
returns true
2002-01-6 > 2002-01-9
returns false
Jut a leading 0 in the date makes it false...this is really strange..
Any comments?

I think you should convert them to dates--otherwise the server compares
them as strings.

Why is it strange? By default strings are sorted alphabetically. 6 > 10
when sorted alphabetically. Convert your strings to numbers in some
logical manner and compare numbers or easier, use strnatcmp() to compare
the strings directly using a natural alphanumeric comparison.

Hi people!
I have MySQL working with ASP under win2000 and IIS. I have recently
tried unsuccessfully to install PHP. Initially I started with zip binary
distribution. I tested it with:-
<html>
<head>
<title>PHP Test</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000">
<?php echo "Hello World<p>"; ?>
</body>

Couldn't be much simpler!
Nothing worked but "view source" showed the above code. The implication
being that the sever did not parse the code.
I then deleted every thing and tried "InstallShield" with exactly the same
result.
I have reinstalled IIS - no change
I have added PHP to the application mapping.
I have given exec permissions to C:/PHP
The setup instructions say that I must rename PHP TO PHP.INI in WINNT and
that is all. Is this true. If not what precisely must I do?
Failing the .INI question I think I have done everything in the OPINS. But
you guys will know better. What have I missed?
All thoughts gratefully appreciated
Thanks Bob

Hi all,
I wrote a site a while back which has a booking system for event guest
lists. It was my first venture into PHP, and now that it needs some more
work done on it (mainly making the site more open so people don't have to
sign up until they book on the guest list) I really want to rework the
back-end (making it object-oriented like I should have done in the first
place, cutting down the number of database requests, getting rid of the
JavaScript validation, etc.), and I want to obviously make the most use of
any classes/frameworks that are already out there.
I've been looking at CMS such as PostNuke, but most seem to be an overkill
for what I need, and the aesthetic design is pretty specific so it has to
fit into that. I've also looked at using ADODB, which seems pretty useful,
and PEAR, which seems to do the same and a bit more, such as HTML templates.
I can find many membership management systems, but as yet haven't found any
open source booking systems - anyone know of any or should I bear this in
mind and release one from the outcome of this development?
Can anyone recommend frameworks/starting points/websites that could be
useful to me? I seem to be going round in circles at the moment and don't
want to go for one particular solution in case it's the 'wrong' one and I
regret it later. Once I go for a particular solution, it's going to take a
lot of learning, so I don't want to (and can't afford to) waste lots of time
on the wrong one.
The site is http://www.belugablues.com (there's no events on it at the
moment - the content manager hasn't quite got round the concept of having to
keep a site up-to-date, but will do :O) - you can log in using the username
'testing' and password '123123'
Many thanks in advance for your advice and help,
Steve Purkiss

Hi Earnest. I found these user notes in the PHP manual, but, it's confusing
and seems to be a bit contradictory:
-----[snip]-----
error_reporting() has no effect if you have defined your own error handler
with set_error_handler()
[Editor's Note: This is not quite accurate.
E_ERROR, E_PARSE, E_CORE_ERROR, E_CORE_WARNING, E_COMPILE_ERROR and
E_COMPILE_WARNING error levels will be handled as per the error_reporting
settings.
All other levels of errors will be passed to the custom error handler
defined by set_error_handler().
-----[/snip]-----
PHP's error-handling seems to need to re-working. I just can't get this to
work after having tried some other things I found online. All I want is for
PHP to NOT report E_NOTICE errors, but, there seems to be no way to do this,
even if I re-define the E_NOTICE constant vars.
Thanks.

It's simple: A user defined error handler cannot handle parse errors
or compile time errors. That makes sense to me...if your script
doesn't parse and can't complete the compile phase then how would you
expect your custom function to be able to handle the error? It hasn't
been compiled yet...

The answer is in the editor's note that you quoted, two paragraphs
after you snipped the quote:
"if (!($type & error_reporting())) return;"
$type is the error code..i.e. the first parameter passed to your error
handler. Add that line to the top of your error handling function and
it will behave the way you expect.
PHP's error reporting value is a bitmask...a combination of all of the
error type constants that you want PHP to report. The line of code
above takes the current error's bit value and does a bitwise AND with
the error reporting level. If the result is 0, that means that the
current error's bit value is not turned on in the current error
reporting level. If this is so, then the line above will return from
your error handling function without doing anything...effectively
ignoring the error.

I'm trying to replace the X-Powered-By header out of security concerns.
I know it can't really hurt - just me being paranoid. Anyway, I'm using:

But it has 2 headers. Is there any way to do this?

Hi there,
did anyone do any Performance measurement through the php4.x-series?
I've heard that the performance decreased from 4.0.x to 4.1.x to 4.2.x ... ?
Are there any numbers or benchmarks for this?
Thanks in advance,

Sorry, yeah I've heard and I cannot prove it, therefore I ask.
I didn't want to troll or similar, just curious about it.
Are there any benchmarks through the different versions with a common-app
or similar available?

Hey all, I was playing around this morning with a little test to decide
whether string substitution is faster or slower than concatenation. I
figured that, since printing variable values is one of the most common
actions in a script finding which method is best would be important.
I've been suspecting that string substitution was slower and have tried
not to use it as a general rule of thumbs.
I found it sort-of interesting that--at least according to my
test--string substitution is significantly slower than concatenation by
quite a bit (like 40%).
Here's my script--let me know if you find any flaws that skew the
results:
<?
$num_tries = 500000;
function print_microtime($t)
{
$t = explode (' ', $t);
return number_format ($t[1]+$t[0], 10);
}
function print_microtime_diff($t1, $t2, &$res)
{
$t1 = explode (' ', $t1);
$t2 = explode (' ', $t2);
$res = ($t2[1] + $t2[0]) - ($t1[1] + $t1[0]);
return number_format ($res, 10);
}
$start = microtime();
$s = 'test string';
for ($i = 0; $i < $num_tries; $i++)
$a = 'test ' . $s . ' string';
$end = microtime();
echo "Normal concatenation\n";
echo 'Start: ' . print_microtime($start) . "\n";
echo 'End: ' . print_microtime($end) . "\n";
echo 'Diff: ' . print_microtime_diff ($start, $end, $diff1) . "\n\n";
$start = microtime();
$s = 'test string';
for ($i = 0; $i < $num_tries; $i++)
$a = "test $s string";
$end = microtime();
echo "String substitution\n";
echo 'Start: ' . print_microtime($start) . "\n";
echo 'End: ' . print_microtime($end) . "\n";
echo 'Diff: ' . print_microtime_diff ($start, $end, $diff2) . "\n\n";
echo 'Difference in timing: ' . ($diff2 - $diff1) . ' (' . number_format
(($diff2 - $diff1) / $diff1 * 100, 2) . "%)\n\n";
?>

I think you shouldn't be care much about it as I would call it with one
word - paranoia.
I have made these tests long ago and some are even present on
www.phpbeginner.com. Basically double quotes with one or two variables
in it is faster. Then goes concatenation via single quotes and dot. But,
the fastest of all is actually inline php (when you leave php with ?>
and return to it again <?php).
Anyhow, these can rarely be of any importance to you as this makes
really no big difference within the script. Assuming you learn how to
use it -- you will save %0.001 percent of execution speed.
Simply use single quotes all the time unless you need to stick variables
into the string.

Except concatenation is the fastest in my tests...

Thanks to everyone who kindly responded with
their views regarding whether or not PHP v.4.2.3.
is a "beta" version or not a "beta" version.
Because the opinions offered were so adamant and
so contradictory, I contacted Zend. I just received
the reply (below)...
Hi Jill, Nice talking with you the other day and thanks
for your follow-up email. PHP v. 4.2.3 is definitely not
a beta version. I checked with Zev Suraski who is one
of the developers of the Zend engine, the scripting
language that powers PHP.

Php file system functions seem to hate unicode paths or filenames. I was
working on generic download script and it works fine for regular ascii(?)
files but when i tried a unicode-named file it failed.
$file1 = c:\blah\I've Sound [Air] $BD;$N;m(B(Lia).mp3
$file2 = c:\blah\bleh.mp3
readfile, fopen, filesize etc... fail on $file1, but succeed on $file2.
consider the following:
$fn = $_POST["filename"];
$enfn = urlencode($_POST["filename"]);
header ("Content-type: octet/stream");
header ("Content-disposition: attachment; filename=".basename($encfn).";");
header ("Content-Length: ".filesize($fn)); //fails
readfile($fn); //fails
exit;
is unicode support in filesystem functions non-existant or am i doing
something wrong?
is there a work around?

Hi, i got this project i'm building right now. It basically a core system to
do adminsitrative modules for web sites.
I got tons of classes that get created on call of a function like
sql_setup(), frm_setup(). These functions create the objects from the
classes so they can be used later in other objects...yada yada yada...
Now my thing is, instead of always starting my method of an object with
"global sql_server;" and "global frm_builder", is there a way that these
variables are declared as global automatically, just like i would get
$_GET[], $_POST[] and so on, they are already global. I want to do this to
simplify development since this project is going to be HUGE. And also it
will facilitate debugging as i've been using "global" at a lot of places and
when you forget one, PHP assumes the creation of a dummy variable messing up
everything.
I'm waiting for an anwser,
thank you

Hi Mathieu,
to begin with, if this project is HUGE as you said, try to avoid globals as
good as you can - they're absolze poison for the readability, stability,
and scalability of any application that extends a single source file with a
couple of lines. Of course this is only MHO, I'm sure others will chime in
here.
I am currently working on an application core that's expected to work with
a nice number of objects, and it is not feasible here to have objects a)
global and simply not possible to have every part of the application using
its own reference to the object instance.
What I did is to create a container for objects and wrap it into a class I
call CCache. As soon as an object gets instantiated it registers itself
with the cache (being uniquely identified by Type and ID). Any part of the
application simply calls the systemwide cache object with type and ID to
retrieve a reference to the specific object it needs just now.
I did a performance profiling on this system, and retrieving an object
reference from the cache needs approx. 0.001 msec.
Just to tell you, not even the cache object is global - there is a public
wrapper function around it to return a reference to the global cache
object. Currently we have approx. 85,000 lines of code, and absolutely no
global variable of our own...

i seriously dont get it how are you suppose to use the ftp functions if the
only way is via the browser uploader which goes to the server first anyway

Hello,
I'm about to implement session management, and I'm considering rolling my
own instead of using PHP's.
Specifically, I'm considering using hidden fields for persistent object
properties because (1) I don't want cookies to be an issue, (2) I prefer not
to have session IDs appear in a URL, and (3) I prefer not to use require a
database just to store persistent properties.
Are there drawbacks to storing persistent object properties as a serialized
value in hidden fields that I'm missing? This is a newbie's first major web
application, so I really appreciate your input.

Doesn't that mean you'd have to use forms for getting between each page?
There are only three ways to pass a session ID around:
1. via the URL (GET)
2. via cookies
3. via a form (POST)
If you categorically rule out 1 & 2, then you're left with 3. 3 means that
every link across your site has to be a form submit. Yuk!!!
Or have I misunderstood your question?

Hmm - NIH syndrome?

As Justin already pointed out you make yourself stick to forms, not
allowing any "normal" page be session-dependent - but that's only one of
the drawbacks.
The issue that would disturb me the most is data security - if you use the
client browser to store object persistent data this opens up a whole world
of possibilities to hack your data... Of course you could always check if
the hidden fields are still ok, using some md5 or whetever, but why the hassle?
If you don't want cookies (I too don't use them for a session and have
disabled session cookies in our php.ini), PHP will transparently merge the
session identifier into its output (as long as you don't use ob_gzhandler,
that is). But why don't you like the session ID magled into links?
"prefer not to use a database" - that's not the case with standard php
sessions, they get written to a file somewhere. Just make sure that this
"somewhere" is
a) read/writable by apache
b) not read/writable by anyone else
and you are (relatively) secure.

Yeah, yuk. I'm very silly and didn't realize this until after I'd posted.
It's possible since links will be generated automatically, but yuk.

No, I'm far too lazy for that luxury. :^)

Well, I'm still a newbie to PHP, and for some reason thought that all
persistant data (not just the session ID) would have to be serialized into
the links.
Many thanks, Justin and Ernest, for straightening me out on PHP sessions --
my only excuse is that the otherwise very-helpful "Professional PHP
Programming" barely discusses them.

Hi all,
I'm not too sure if this is the right place to get my answers but I really need to
know this:
How can I convince my clients that PHP is really good? I mean not a lot of
non-programmers have heard of PHP language. Most of them only heard of things like
C/C++, ASP and the like. So, how can I prove to them that PHP is a much better
language to use?
Can anyone point me to the right resources for me to show and prove to my clients?
Thanks a lot and sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this question.
Yours,
Wee Keat Chin

First off, I wouldn't go comparing one language to another as "better" (a
jihad has broken out on another list between Perl and PHP, substituting
belief for anything remotely resembling a civilized and intelligent
discussion), but if you want to convince them about the merits of PHP, look
up the news stories about Yahoo abandoning its own proprietary language for
PHP. Also, if any of your clients have experience with Perl, you can use
the comparison about regular expression handling there. You can also refer
to http://www.php.net/usage.php for a description of the popularity of PHP.

why PHP don't return a parse error here ?
<code>
case "browse" :
$text = $myobject->browse();;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
// some codes ...
break;
</code>
i guess syntax isn't correct or what do you think ?!

hmm - it's a little bit inefficient in terms of nanosecs, but syntactically
correct. You simply have 18 successive empty statements...
