Firstly, since you can take in already written code, if you have a lot of
pre-written generic code, that would be good.

Subject: Re: [PHP] PHP @ 24-hour programming competition
This sounds interesting... I am not familiar enought with PHP-GTK to give an
informed opinion. I think your decision should be based on how familiar
with the tools you take into the contest. Since you are not face with a
lot of time, will your competition be using Visual IDEs to aid the rapid
development?
You may wnat to post to one of the php-gtk-* lists. They may be able to
address your needs in more detail.
Good luck!!
If you choose to use PHP, please post the results of the contest to the
list. It should be interesting.

It is in a way doable,
What about some game where when, being limited by timer, you type words
on the keyboard and get some questions to answer. The software would
have to "understand" the meaning and try to give you tougher but
relative question each time? Maybe using some RDBMS for that in
conjunction with PHP-GTK for the active interface?
That's an idea, no?
I had to make a puzzle game in PHP once, was painful enough that I still
enjoy playing that game myself ;-)

The problem with PHP is that it would be a limited Mailing List.
Imagine having a database of 100.000 subscribers (as my previous company
had 600.000). Can you handle it with PHP? We used Ezmlm. Over night, on
different server that seats away from our main bandwidth hub, with
limited bandwidth usage and it was doing it's work every Sunday Night.
PHP won't work easily because it is generally activated via browser. So,
the maximum amount of subscribers you can handle with the list written
entirely in PHP would be something like 1-4.000 or so still waiting for
a while to finish sending. It could be useful still, but I think it is
rather more painful than useful to you and your user.
I have once started such project followed by your very ideas: "no such
software in PHP - Let's write one!!!" But then, I got discouraged just
as I thought about it deeper. Look at Source-Forge for RealList - that
is my tentative (if you'll find it though).
A good extended interface to ezmlm could be a good idea though. I don't
like the one they have now.
Summary:
Whatever you write in PHP regarding emails, unless you connect it to
other languages like Ruby, Perl or Python that can run it in background
(consider PHP-GTK as well, still more than just PHP) your list will only
handle a small amount of subscribers and, not automatically (unless user
has the access to server what would also mean he can install something
other than your ML).
My 0.02 EuroCents.
Disclaimer:
Please note that I wasn't trying to be extra-precise here, so don't pick
on the words. The idea of this was rather important to explain.

I prefer the following:
function doThing()
{
strFoo = 'bar';
}
nice and tidy.
at the end of the day, as long as code is commented, consistant in layout
style, and works... that's enough. aint it?

(Just got back from the weekend)
Just my 2c worth
IMHO, as long as the code is indented "properly", it doesn't matter where
the braces are, just be consistant. Personally, I prefer to put the opening
brace on a new line, but I can just as easily read other people's code when
the opening brace is on the same line (as long as it's indented properly).
As for indenting - I prefer using spaces and this ensures that my code will
look the same in someone else's editor as it does in mine. There are people
here, in the company, that use tabs and have set their tabs to be 4 spaces,
I have my tabs set to 8 spaces - really plays havoc when they indent quite a
distant :(
Also, with one line statements, I prefer to place it on the same line as the
statement that requires it (ie, function, if/else, while, do, etc). But,
again, as long as the coder is constant, I find it just as readable when the
statement is on a new line, surrounded by braces or not.
So what I'm basically saying is - choose a style that suits you, and be
_consistant_ with it - oh, and make sure you indent your code, there's
nothing worse than trying to read code that's not indented, or indented all
over the place!

I think standardization within the company is what important.
I prefer tabs because when I have to delete a part of the line, I just
hit back button once - not four times.
But anyhow, programming style is the personal preference for every
programmer. There recommendations and team-wise standards, but that has
nothing to do with the general idea.

I prefer an editor which allows me to tab using spaces and to delete the
appropriate number of spaces when backspacing :)

why does this always return "wrong char" no matter what value is in vpis_ime
... i tried "blah", "242234" "bla242h" .. every single time i get "wrong
char". im using PHP 4.1.2
basicly is what i want is to check string if it contains only charaters from
a to z and chars _ - [ ] . Can somebody write me a working function ?
thx in advance

Try:

That'll sort it for everything except [ and ], which I can't find any way of

HTH anyway.

The only thing that will match that regex is a single alpha character.
Try "^[[:alpha:]]+$" (I added a plus) to match one or more.

Hey PHP General List,
Im using PHPTriad as webserver. And i am having some problems. It
goes ok but sometimes after mutch requests. server freezes nobody
can access it until i restart apache. What could be wrong? Well i

Hey guys,
i'm trying to write a script that gets a path for a pic from mysql and then
shows the picture.
so i added the data in teh database like so $server_path/pics/pic001.jpg and
then when i get the final oputput the HTML says:
<img src=$server_path/pics/pic001.jpg> and it won't show the picture, is this
because i'm using Mozilla 0.9.9 or is it from something else?

Well, you should first ask yourself if the SRC value is correct - and
apparently it isn't, if that's indeed it. You should make sure you get
$server_path parsed by PHP. OTOH, why $server_path? HTML uses "/" as the
"document root", you don't need that. IOW, you should remove
$server_path altogether and see if it works - it should.

(re-post into php.general)
I think this is an Apache question more than PHP, but I'll give it a
whirl.
Aside from the new apache_setenv in 4.2RC3+ (and I haven't tried), is
there a way to set $REMOTE_USER from PHP?
Let me explain:
I have an external (ie, custom) authentication process (hate basic auth)
but I want the web logs to reflect the user visits (ie, I think from
memory REMOTE_USER is the var that gets logged)
In any case, after authentication, I'd like to set $REMOTE_USER and fool
Apache into thinking that it's done a basic auth and will now log users
as per basic auth.
I've worked on an iPlanet server that's achieved this, but not without a
custom built NSAPI module (in this case would be Apache API)
I know it's pretty specific but if you can help at all I'd appreciate
it... My next step is hacking out an apache module, but that's a..
ahh... not so preferred approach ;-)

Hey all,
I was just wondering if someone's written a script that will let me send lots of
emails to an address, but with a small pause inbetween emails.
And no I'm not using this for spam, I need to test a SMTP server that I'm developing.
Thanks for your help!

How about something like this.....
<?
$Total_emails = 100;
$i = 1;
if($Total_emails != $i){
// send email code
$i++;
}
?>
This should be all you need. I used something similar to crash my work's
email system by accident. :) Whoops.

I'd recommend this script with a few changes.
<?
$Emails = array(<Get your list of emails into the array somehow>);
for($i=0; $i<count($Emails); $i++) {
// send email code
usleep(<delay in microseconds>);
}

You may want to try this class:

Anyway, why are you writing a new SMTP server? I mean what would it
provide that no other SMTP server provides? Does it send personalized

I should've suggest that earlier. When I had to recompile PHP with support

clean installation. Now whenever I recompile, I do it from scratch.

the few communities of folks that are truely helpful and the response time
has amazed me! It's no wonder that PHP is taking the Internet by storm!
I'm taking my first sit down instructor led course in PHP in June, counting

Hello
I have to interface an MSAccess database and Apache server on a linux
box thru PHP. The only way I found to do that is to use ODBC with some
specific drivers (I tried Openlink). This solution needs sort of server
running on a Windows station, it serves requests to the Access database
file.
The problem is that I would like to do this WITHOUT any Windows station,
to achieve good reliability (we can't have a Windows station running
just for that). Also the database can't be ported to any other format
because there are some programs written in VB-Access that need it as is.
So what I need is sort of sql driver for accessing mdb files on a
unix/linux box. Does-it exist? I searched a lot on the web but with no
succes.
Any suggestions are welcome
Thanx in advance
Some details:
- The Access database file (mdb) is located on a Unix box in a shared
folder

First off, you're using eregi (case insensitive), but defining a-zA-Z (a
through z, case insensitive) in your characters class. You could just use
ereg and leave the character class as it is, or drop the A-Z from the eregi
version.
Secondly, I'd amend your code to:
^[a-z]+$
And thirdly, I'd just use a combination of ereg / preg_* functions and
strlen.
if(preg_match("/^[a-z]+$/i", $string) && strlen($string) < 255)
{
echo "Whatever.";
}
I'm not sure why you're getting that error, but then again, I haven't
bothered reading up about it :)

You don't control IE, MS does.
Some versions of IE insist on trying to display the file regardless of what
the headers tell it to do, and regardless of whether or not it has the plugin
to display such a file. It's a bug which seems to have been fixed, then
broken, then fixed, then broken, ...!

1) Did *you* write both the php & perl scripts? Just checking, if you wrote
both, then you might have made the same mistake in both ;-) If they're by
independent authors then the chances of the same mistake are slightly lower.
2) Just to really confirm that the upload process is not the problem can you
try sending a local existing file using your scripts?
3) In your scripts I can't see where the attachments (ie the files) gets
encoded to base64. Have I missed something?

Please take a moment to also discuss the limitations in between the
marketing hype - this "feature" is also not unique to your class. The
Oracle driver does not support native record count (as do many other
drivers, I forget which ones), so this needs to be emulated. The only way
is to read in the entire result set and emulate record count. This fails
for large result sets - please tell me how you intend doing this with a
couple of million records? This method is also not optimal as you always
land up reading the entire result set even if you do not wish to do so - a
record paging application comes to mind.
The only logical way is to do a select count(*) from table where ..., but
this is not transaction safe. Other alternatives would be to modify your
code not to depend on record count at all - this is what I did.

There is absolutely no commercial interests behind Metabase. So there is
no marketing statement and even less hype. Metabase does exactly what is
described because I needed it to do that for my own applications,
especially in the beginning 3 years ago because I wanted to provide
smooth transition between MySQL applications that rely on these features
and databases like Oracle for which these features can be emulated.

Please tell me when in a Web application you need to read a whole result
set with million rows?
> land up reading the entire result set even if you do not wish to do so - a
> record paging application comes to mind.
If you want to just to read a range of rows of a whole an arbitrary
sized result set, you can use a feature of Metabase that with a single
call made before executing any SELECT query it tells to restrict to a
specified range of rows. It is like MySQL LIMIT except that it works
with all supported databases, including Oracle.
You know, Metabase was specifically though to address Web development
needs. If you look around in other platforms you see that Metabase
provides features that are not provided anywhere else, not even for
Java. Think for instance about sequences...

Yes, that is the recommended way to do it. That is extensively
recommended in Metabase manual and tutorial.
Still Metabase provides that feature because the large majority of PHP
users comes from a low end database background like MySQL.

This has been discussed in some depth within the last month or so. Searching
the archives for "credit card" should yield some results. You may also want
to search the php-db archives as well.

Hi Berber
you could serialize the array into a hidden field on the next form.

Hi all
all the links in my page link to not existing html pages.
i redirect the 404 to a php script. when users had disabeled cookies,
i parsed the request_uri for phpsessid and then set
$HTTP_GET_VARS['PHPSESSID']=the parsed one.
when i after that called session_start(), php was using the id from
$HTTP_GET_VARS['PHPSESSID'].
after upgrade to the latest php version this does not work anymore. i
get a new PHPSESSID on every
request. is there any way to keep the sessionid with these redirects?

Well, since you fail to mention which versions of PHP you were using before
and after the upgrade it's a little difficult to diagnose your problem.
You should really have checked the change log
(http://www.php.net/ChangeLog-4.php) before upgrading anyway (a lot changed
in the 4.0.x -> 4.1.x releases - including some variable names)
HTH
Danny.

Hi all,
I have a database. It receives from my users files - which could be word
documents, Adobe PDF files, text docs, anything...
I store these in a BLOB field of the database.
On a certain page, I include a link to these files which have been saved
into the blob. The link is <a
href="getattachment.php?Fileid=65)">Document</a>.
Now when people link to this (to go to gatattachment.php?fileid=65) the
getattachment does the following:
Finds out the attachment mime type
Sends a:
Header("Content-type: <mime-type>");
Header("Header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"File65.doc\"" );
Stream the contents of the blob to the browser.
Where the Attachment Filename changes depending on the fileid, and the mime
type (eg. Excel files would be xls)
Now when I click the link, I get garbled content on my browser (no matter
which browser i use - IE, Konqueror, Opera, etc). If I change the headers
to echos, teh I get teh correct results.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks
David R

If you get multiple requests for files, expect the db to fall over very
quickly - what's wrong with storing them on the filesystem and having a list
of them in the db?

WTF is up with Header("Header(" ??
Surely this should be Header("Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename=\"File65.doc\"" );
Here's how I do it
header("content-type: $mime");
header("content-disposition: attachment; filename=\"$displayName\"");
echo $data;
One thing - note that that the header names and the actual mimetype are in
lower case. Got weird results with anything different.

That's not right. Must be a typo.
Make sure there is no output before the header function calls.
I use:
header("Content-type: application/octet-stream; name=\"$fname\"");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"fname\"");
header("Content-transfer-encoding: binary");

If your DB falls over, get a better one. You wouldn't do this with
Access, but MySQL or PostgreSQL will handle this with no problems.
And storing them in the file system requires the web server process to
have write access to the directory in which the files are stored. And
so will any other users on that server. Security nightmare.

Interesting tip. I'll try that out on Mac IE which never did download
properly, IIRC.

I've tried it in MySQL - it didn't work - after inserting aprox 8Mbs of
data the MySQL server died with a 'server has gone away' message. And more
than 2-3 users symltaneously requesting files of only a few hundred kb
really seemed to kill performance.

Having other users on your server is the security mightmare :) If you setup
the webserver to have its own user ('apache' instead of 'nobody') and only
allow the apache user access to those files, that should lessen the problem.
