I spotted a class or function on phpclasses.org a few days back that does
this.

Hmm, as mktime returns a unix timestamp it'll be constrained by that; 
currently the unix timestamp covers a range from 1 Jan 1970 to (mumble) 
January 2038.

However, if your date is stored using one of the mysql date or time 
formats, why not try using mysql's DATE_FORMAT to pretty it up as you 
select from the db? IIRC some of the date column types have a range of 
around 10,000 years, which should meet your needs.

That's what I thought I might have to do. It's an alternative, but a clunky
one. Thanks Matt.

<<mktime() will not work beyond mid-August of 2038 on 32-bit machines.>>

And there's the confirmation from Richard. It actually goes back to 1969.

Thanks also to David and anyone else I missed. I'm going to try the MySQL
date format that Richard and Matt suggested. But, if all else fails, I'll go
with the array that they suggested, as well.

Thanks again, guys.

Basically the included file containing the error handler is like so ->
-------------
<?php
error_reporting( E_ALL );
set_error_handler('errorhandler');
ob_start();

function display_error()
{
    ob_end_clean();
    //  display error page here
}

function errorhandler()
{
     // cycle through errors here and execute display_error() when needed.
}
?>
--------------
In another file, I start compression like ->
if ($compress == '1')
{
    ob_start('gz_handler');
}
-------------

Then at the end of the script I have ob_end_flush();

I believe the sequence of events are correct.
I just so happened to pass by zend.com, and in the newsletter #100
from the 26th, there is a blurb about ob_gzhandler being broken.  Im 
running php 4.2.2, so it may apply to me, as Im getting
the blank page that its describing.

Thanks for your help.

Hi there,

I have a tricky problem which I honestly think is not possible to solve.
However maybe I am wrong.

As you all know it is possible on php.net to pass a function name just
behind the adress (e.G. php.net/function-name) this will redirct to the
propper page. I did the same thing with member sites (e.G
server.com/member-name) Now I am starting a referrer programm. Every member
who follows a link like from anywhere on the net and registeres will be
tracked and the referrer gets a point. Now I did forget that I do have
several of this links on my site itself :-) Which means that they have been
aquired on my site by accident :-)

My question is how can I make sure that they do come from outside and are
not surfing my site already. I do set a coockie as soon as someone enteres
this adress, but it would be fantastic if I could do a if statement on
something to make sure he does not come from my own site. I would like to
keep all the links like that, just to find a way to track the origin of the
user.

Thank you so much for any idea on this tricky task,

Andy

IFF they just left one of your other sites, then you should be able to pass
a variable in the other site's header such as:

php.net/function-name?variable=from_somewhere_I_own

if the variable isn't set, then they came from a site you don't own.

or you could send them to a unique function-name where you can then record a
hit on that function-name.
<?php
function unique_name()
    {
    $hit="came from my other site";
    pseudo code -- store $hit;
    function run_me(you really want to run)
    }
?>

Thanx for your answer. This is exactly the problem. I do not want to pass
something like this.

The user gets a URL like: server.com/user-name
He passses it around and someone follows this link to my site. In case this
person registeres I am tracking this. But the same links are inside my own
site. The URL should stay the same since it is a nice one with the username
and without any ?=... stuff.

I could reduce my question to the following:

How can I find out (in PHP) that someone is comming from a different site.
Some variable like $_HTTP[referrer] might track this. I hope there is
something like this :-)

So I could do something like this:


if ($_HTTP[referrer] != myserver.com){
    //set a cookie
}

You get the idea?

Andy

$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERRER'] (or is it $_ENV['HTTP_REFERRER']?) is your only
option.  Unfortunately it's not guaranteed to be set by the browser, so your
current method of accepting and tracking referrers is flawed, sorry.

A page.php?aid=xxxxx entry point, combined with sessions or cookies to keep
track of the affiliate ID is a proven method of making things work.

All righty! I found the solution:

It might be for help to some other folkes. Here is the code which solves the
problem:


                #make sure he is not referred by our  one website
                if (!ereg($HTTP_HOST, $_SERVER[HTTP_REFERER])){
                        #set referer cookie
                        setcookie('referrer', $user_id, 0);
                }
                #redirect


Cheers,

Andy

Hello Justin,

I just saw that you have been faster than me :-)

However.. you think it might be not sure that this workes for every browser?
PUh... thats bad. Do u have examples for that? It workes with IE on PC.

Justin is right, there's no guarantee the referrer will be set. What you 
can do however is have a common pre-registration page you link to from 
everywhere on the site - and set some variable there to acknowledge they 
came from the site - and give "members" the direct address to the 
registration page.

What I wonder is how could a non-referred user be confused with a 
referred one - doesn't the referred one have some kind of variable in 
the URL which identifies the referer (i.e. isn't each referer being 
given a customized URL to pass to his/her referees?!).

I don't actually know of any that don't set the referrer, and probably 99%
of your vistors WILL set it, but there WILL be some that don't.  Even if you
tested every IE and Netscape version known to exist on both Mac and PC,
there's still hundreds of other lesser known browsers, text-to-speach
browsers for the blind, PDAs and hand-helds, web-tv, internet-fridges, etc
etc.  There is no way you can possibly test all of these, and since they
aren't REQUIRED to set the referrer, it's foolish to rely on it.

Well, the HTTP 1.1 spec says it shouldn't be set when it's typed into the address 
line.  That happens often enough that it can't be relied on.

Try it:
<HTML>
<BODY>
<?php
echo "Referrer: {$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']}<br>";  //note misspeled HTTP_REFERER
?>
<p>
<a href="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ?>">Link to this page</a>
</p>
</body>
</html>

So use the Header() function to send an appropriate Last-Modified
timestamp.  PHP can't possibly do that automatically as it does not know
the last modication time of the actual dynamic data that you send.

Hi everybody,
I'm using Sablotron to transform XML with XSL and this is the PHP file:

<?PHP

$strXhtml = "<?xml version=\"1.0\"?>\n";
$strXhtml = $strXhtml . "<html><body>\n";
$strXhtml = $strXhtml . "<p><b><font color=\"#800080
\">Balance:</font></b></p>\n";
$strXhtml = $strXhtml . "<p align=\"left\"><input type=\"text\" 
name=\"balanceText\" size=\"20\" value=\"200$\"/></p>\n";
$strXhtml = $strXhtml ."</body></html>";
//echo(trim($strXhtml));

include("XSLTransformer.php"); 
$xml=$strXhtml; 
$xsl="testing.xsl"; 

$transform = new XSLTransformer(); 
if($transform->setXsl($xsl)) { 
           if($transform->setXmlString($xml)) { 
              $transform->transform(); 
              if ($transform->getError() == 0) { 
                 echo $transform->getOutput(); 
              } else { 
                 echo "<p>Error transforming ",$xml,".</p>\n"; 
              } 
           } else { 
              echo "<p>",$xml,": ",$transform->getError(),"</p>\n"; 
           } 

$transform->destroy(); 
} ?> 


I'm getting the following warning although I'm sure that if I applied XSL 
to the XML file without php, it's working. Plz can u help me and tell me 
what could be the problem?
Warning: xslt_process(): supplied argument is not a valid XSLT Processor 
resource in /home/alia/public_html/XHTML/XSLTransformer.php on line 69

HI there,

I am wondering if a Chat coded in PHP would be sufficiant for a medium sized
site. Maybe someone has a working example online. It would be no problem to
get a ircdeamon working, just the client is in question.

Thank you for your suggestions,

Andy

Check freshmeat - there are a couple of more than reasonable such 
projects (unfortunately I don't remember the names, but I checked some 
out and they seemed ok).

Well, as far as I know, command-line returnes 0 on success and other on 
failure.
So if your exec ( $command, $ValueIn, $ValueOut) returns 0 in $ValueOut 
it should be done correctly...

Best regards
                Madsen

If you are trying to receive the output of the command line you can use the
backtick notation
$list = `ls`;

Hope that helps

Hello,
I have an HTML file. I want to transform it to XML then filter it and 
transform it to another XML file. I used Sablotron with PHP to apply XSL 
to XML to filter the XML file. But I'm facing problems when I want to 
transform HTML to XML. I used TIDY but it seems it transforms to XHTML in 
a format not appropriate to Sablotron parser. I'm getting this msg:
Warning: Sablotron error on line 26: cannot open 
file '/home/alia/public_html/XHTML/testing.xhtml'

Thank you for the reply Farianto.

Exactly where in the

httpd.conf file

should I insert that line?

If you could copy and paste the line *above* and *below* in the httpd.conf
file that already exists so I know the location I would appreciate it.

Thanks again.

for example:

# blahblah1

Load Module PHP4_Module c:/Apache/php/sapi/php4apache.dll  // insert this
line

# blahblah2

You can insert the line at the very end of your httpd.conf file...

Hello
The problem I have when using include files is the path to different parts of the web 
site.

To Explain:

I have a header.inc file in an inc directory:

root
 |___inc
 |       |___header.inc
 |
 |___images
 |       |___topbar_01.gif
 |
 |___faq
        |___faq.php

In the header.inc file there is: 
<img name="topbar_01" src="images/topbar_01.gif" width=783 height=56>

now when I include this into the faq.php file I do not display the topbar_01.gif as 
the path to topbar_01.gif is now
/root/faq/images/topbar_01.gif

I would like to be able to use a header.inc file so that I can update the entire site 
simply.

Is there a way I can specify the correct path when using an include file in this way?
I have tried to use some of the Environment Variables.

I find that I am having this problem when I am using a structured site. I would rather 
not place all files into the same directory

Thankyou for your reply,
Ivan

This should help you. This way the browser will look for images directory in
the root of your webserver.

I'm trying to enable my site users to upload pictures (using the
move_uploaded_file function)

This works fine on my home development machine but 'not' on the deployment
server. This is a shared server with 'safe mode' enabled. (The php manual
seems to suggest that it should still work despite safe mode but maybe I am
misunderstanding something).

Any thoughts gratefully received.

There could be a lot of different reasons why. Check the manual again (esp. 
the user's comments). I'm sure you'll find a lot of ideas.

  http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.php

Also, this has been discussed many times recently. I'm sure you'll find a 
lot too in the archives. :)

Hi All,

I have PHP-4.3.0(dev) [php cvs version] and have the following
configure:

../configure --with-mysql=/usr/local/ --with-gd=/usr/local/
--with-openssl --with-curl --enable-ftp --with-dom --with-xml
--enable-trans-sid
--enable-sockets --enable-wddx --with-zlib --with-mcrypt=/usr/local/
--with-mhash=/usr/local/ --with-freetype --with-t1lib --with-ttf
--with-freetype-dir=/usr/local/ --with-gettext --enable-track-vars
--with-apxs --with-expat --with-enable-xslt --with-xslt-sablot
--with-sablot

Configure runs fine... Make runs beautifully... Make Install runs
perfectly... Apache restarts great, but:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: xslt_create_processor() in
/usr/home/dhardiker/public_html/cvs/flash_api_4.03/xslTransformer.inc.php
on line 24

Ideas?

PS: Im running FreeBSD 4.6-Stable and a copy of my
phpinfo() output can be found at http://dipsy.dapond.net/phpinfo.html.

Hi,
There should be a new entry like "XSLT enabled" under "XML enabled" in your
PHPinfo in case of successful set-up.
I'm not very familiar with the Unix build, but just to be sure can you check
if you uncommented the xslt extension in your php.ini file (if any)?

Thats what Im looking for, but cant find it... however the configure line
still says its in there.

As far as I know Ive done everything I need to, there isnt any php.ini
directive that does that. If Im missing something I can check...

If there was an error I could probably debug it - but there isnt! heh

Rodrigo,

Yuk! No wonder I was having trouble visualising your problem... The
serialised field cannot be meaningfully indexed (it's a waste of time if it
is). That means that any search against a criteria involving a/the
serialised field will require (the time to perform an) the examination of
every row - so make it the last clause of a SELECT - WHERE process.

Given that I would expect that you/users would want to search on such an
important field, the db designer/implementer deserves to be first up against
the wall...

NB if a user issues a fairly open search, eg all programmers (on an IT
staffing database) - and let's just say that such represents a 50% 'hit
rate' against the total number of rows/people's data stored, then if the
table is thousands of names long, such a search for English-Advanced will be
very, very 'expensive'/slow!

However, I think we can do it. Two possibilities:
1 it may be possible to use a RegEx to examine the serialised text field for
"English" and "Advanced" in the correct sequence and proximity.
2 haul all of the rows that satisfy the other WHERE criteria into PHP,
deserialise each field, and do the check there and then.

The second will be more expensive in terms of RAM and possibly time, but
offers a guaranteed result. The first is possibly faster and is more
storage-efficient but will require some thought/clever coding.

I assume you could manage the first. If you would like me to have a go at
tackling the second for/with you, then please provide:
a) a copy of the PHP code which serialises the data and stores it in the
database,
b) a copy of any relevant array/class definitions,
c) the MySQL CREATE TABLE line for the TEXT field used,
d) (if not evident from the above), a list of some of the more likely
languages and the skill levels used within the data,
e) (if possible) some sample data to play with/prove.

Could be fun, (but it won't be pretty!)

Regards,
=dn

Why is this code:

<?php
                
                        $bob=array(1,2,3,5,6);
                        
                        foreach($bob as $foo);
                        {
                        echo "$foo<BR>";
                        }
                        ?>

Rendering only "6".  That's it.  Just "6".  What am I missing here?

What do you see in the HTML source view?

Don't put a semicolon after the foreach.

Bad code.
Take the ';' off the end of the foreach...

I can't use this because there is some other stuff that is also in %
signs... The whole line is as thus:
$string = "a href=\"{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?thing=do&id=%number%\">%some%
- %stuff% %if%%artist%?(%artist% Minutes):\"WAH!\"%if%</a>";

So doing an explode on all the % signs would not work unfortunately.
Thanks,
Mike

Personally, I think Regex is (A) overkill and (B) over-complicated.  But
I'm
not very smart. :-)

I would do:

<?php
  $string = "%if%(%value%)?(%value%>Minutes):\"WAH!\"%if%";
  $parts = explode('%', $string);
  # That gets you pretty close:
  # array(0=>if,1=>(,2=>value,3=>)?(,4=>value,5=>>Minutes):"WAH!",6=>if)
/*
I suspect that there are more %'s in your input, and you might be
"finished"
at this point...
If not, use explode some more:
*/
  $minuteswah = $parts[5];
  $minuteswah = explode('):', $minuteswah);
?>

Basically, a couple explode calls over the headache of trying to
understand
some convoluted Regex is always a "win" in my book. :-)

Hi everyone,

I'm with a little doubt about the best way to send a mail message to a large
mailing list using PHP. I'm not interested  in existing mailing list
managers, or source codes.
I dont know if the best way to send emails is to use a repeat loop with
mail() function, or use some other structure to send emails with timeouts
intervals...

Thanks in advance

Hi, I have a few questions with php sessions, below is an example script:

test_sess.php
-------------

<?php

session_cache_limiter("");
session_start();

?>
<A HREF="/local/path.php">local path</A>



When I initially load the file (session cookie gets set), the HREF link 
gets the PHPSESSID appended to it. If I reload the page (cookie already 
set) the appendage goes away.

According to the PHP manual, the PHPSESSID gets appended to the URL only 
in the case the session cookie is not accepted by the browser.

I would guess that on the first page load the server has no way of 
knowing if the browser accepted the cookie. So maybe this is 
intentional? I'm trying to figure out how to avoid PHPSESSID in the URLs 
entirely unless the browser does not accept cookies. I suppose I could 
disable URL rewriting altogether and rely soley on cookies. How do I 
disable PHP session URL rewriting? I don't see a setting in php.ini for it.

PHP 4.2.2, Solaris Sparc


TIA
Monte

Actually, over the weekend, I started using sessions in my scripts.
All I did was start it using session_start();
I only noticed this behaviour using Opera 6.02 Linux browser running 
under FBSD 4.6-Stable.
(It may have happened in mozilla 1.0 r3, but I may have not paid 
attention to it).
I load the page the first time and the PHPSESSID is appended to the url.
All links on the pages has the same appended SID.  Then a reload clears 
it away.
I thought it was something in my code since Im not too familiar on 
session usage.
Im running php 4.2.2 on FBSD 4.6.2-Release.

Thx
