Never mind, problem NOT solved, I made an error in an earlier script and
that error interrupted this one so I thought it cleared, but alas, it
did not, so help still needed, if available, thanks.

Could not establish FTP connection.
This is the code the error refers to:
# set up basic connection
$conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server)
or die ('Could not establish FTP connection.');
The config file is somewhere else on the server - outside the public dir
for sec. reasons.
The info is correct. - I cannot divulge it, but it is correct (or let's
assume it is), so where to now???

Can you ftp to the site from the box that the script is running on (via
command line or GUI client)?

I think what some other posts were trying to say which may need
clarification is that in PHP 4.2.3, ftp_connect("myhost.com") was
failing most of the time, except it would work like every few minutes.
The fix is that ftp_connect seems to have a bug resolving addresses. If
you do:
$hostip = gethostbyname($host);
$conn_id = ftp_connect($hostip);
It seems to solve the problem.
(Other users referred to an ftpbuf() error... not sure what that is, but
this should fix it.)

There are a number of things that could be wrong, but the most likely
is access rights I suppose. The best way to solve this is indeed to
turn on more logging in slapd if necessary. Please see slapd
docs for how to do this.

If you know what recursion is and like a challege, here's a puzzle
to keep you up nights. If not, you'll probably just want to mutter to
yourself "what a poor, unlucky bastard" and pass on by.
I'm parsing some data files into a PHP array and am stumped. I'm at
a loss for how to do this without grinding through character by character.
That would work, but my subconcious is nagging at me that there's got to be
a more elegant way to do it that I'm just not seeing, so I'm going to
describe the problem and ask for help before I start grinding.
The app I'm getting this from has 4 data types: int, string, array
and mapping (associative array).
Ints and strings are pretty straightforward, but there's no way to
tell 0 from null int or null string. This is an annoying limitation of the
app that just has to be ignored and dealt with by whatever gets this data
from us. This (among other reasons) make me glad PHP is weakly-typed.
Arrays are indexed from 0 and values can mix ints and strings
freely.
To start, mappings are arrays indexed by ints or strings. Mappings
aren't just arrays, though, they have a "width" (which is really a nested
array that I'm pretty certain is an ugly historical artifact.) Width allows
multiple values for one key and must be the same for all values in a
mapping, though the values (both of keys and their values) don't have to be
of the same type. Mappings can also mix ints and strings.
The tough part is that arrays and mappings can nest inside of each
other and the only characters quoted in strings are \, " and \n. This means
recursion must be used, but I just can't figure out a way to find the
boundaries of each element. Anyone with a clean way to do this (probably
with some kind of crazy regexp) will recieve my awe and gratitude.
Here's an example file[1]:
null_string 0
some_string "Fourscore and seven years ago..."
unset_int 0
an_int 42
negative_int -12
null_array ({ })
null_mapping ([ ])
easy_array ({9,22,"test",})
easy_mapping (["string":3,"foo":"bar",[12]:"I am not a crook!",])
medium_array ({"a string, containing a comma and a \"",23,})
medium_mapping (["str\"ing":3;5;7, 9:"Read my lips.";11;13;,])
hard_array ({"comma, string",({3,4,5,}),({"'\"str'",4,({3,4,({ }),}),}),})
hard_mapping ([17:"str";15,"foo":([ ]);17,"b'l\\a\nh":19;([21:23,]),"tour de
force":({29,31});({([ ])}),])
You may notice the last one is pathological[2]. Yes, PHP will really
let you use " and \n in array keys. The real data do sometimes get about
this complex; consider this a compressed version. As a fun fact, I've
learned vim's % command doesn't work when there's an odd number of double
quotes between your parens/braces.
Calling print_r on the array this generates would return:
Array
(
[null_string] => 0
[some_string] => "Fourscore and seven years ago..."
[unset_int] => 0
[an_int] => 42
[negative_int] => -12
[null_array] => Array
(
)
[null_mapping] => Array
(
)
[easy_array] => Array
(
[0] => 9
[1] => 22
[0] => test
)
[easy_mapping] => Array
(
[string] => 3
[foo] => "bar"
[12] => "I am not a crook!"
)
[medium_array] => Array
(
[0] => a string, containing a comma and a "
[1] => 23
)
[medium_mapping] => Array
(
[string] => Array
(
[0] => 3
[1] => 5
[2] => 7
)
[9] => Array
(
[0] => Read my lips.
[1] => 11
[2] => 13
)
)
[hard_array] => Array
(
[0] => comma, string
[1] => Array
(
[0] => 3
[1] => 4
[2] => 5
)
[2] => Array
(
[0] => '"str'
[1] => 4
[2] => Array
(
[0] => 3
[1] => 4
[2] => Array
(
)
)
)
)
[hard_mapping] => Array
(
[17] => Array
(
[0] => str
[1] => 15
)
[foo] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
)
[1] => 17
)
[b'l\a\nh] => Array
(
[0] => 19
[1] => Array
(
[21] => 23
)
)
[tour de force] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[29] => 31
)
[1] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
)
)
)
)
)
The truly eagle-eyed will note that print_r doesn't really escape \n
when outputting, which is ugly and should probably have a bug report filed
on it. I've ignored this behavior of print_r to produce more readable
output.
Anyone who gets the 'tour de force' can contact me for the 'victory
lap' puzzle if it didn't occur to them while solving this one. It's equally
frustrating.
[1] Brownie points to anyone who recognizes the app that outputs this data
format. Yep, I'm doing web integration. Feel free to contact me off-list if
you've any ideas/code to share or would like to see what I'm doing. Yes,
technically, mappings can be indexed by an array or mapping. I've ignored
this because 1. PHP can't do this and 2. Anyone doing this will be dragged
out into the street and shot.

There's got to be a better way to go about this: I am constantly doing mysql
queries where I am doing
a count(), so a sample query would be like this: "select count(*) from
database". I'm expecting only
ONE value back exactly, and that's the count results. However, to get this
data into a variable, i'm
having to write code like this:
$result = mysql_query("select count(*) from database", $db);
$myrow = mysql_fetch_row($result);
$staticvar += $myrow[0];
$staticvar will never be an array, it's just a simple variable storing a
number. I *could* do it like this:
$result = mysql_query("select * from database", $db);
$staticvar += mysql_num_rows($result);
However, the mysql query will be much, much slower if I do it like this.
Basically, what I'm asking, is how to do something like:
$staticvar += mysql_fetch_row($result);
I want to eliminate step two, and I don't want to involve any temporary
arrays when there's always just one
value. Any suggestions? Thanks a bunch!

(untested :)
$result = mysql_query("select count(*) as cnt from database", $db);
$staticvar += mysql_result($result,0,0);

You can assign the directly into a variable using something like:
list($count) = mysql_fetch_array($result);
Not sure whether you can do a += into an existing variable though.
Why don't you just stuff the above into a function instead?

Hey folks. I am attempting to run PHP code with <script language="php"> and
it doesn't work. Any ideas as to why and how I can fix that? Also what is
the best way to run a snippet of PHP code in an ASP page? Thanks in
advance.

I've written a little script for VoiceXML applications to generate a WAV
from an MP3 on demand:
#file wavwrapper.php
<?
header('Content-Type: audio/wav');
$filename = $_GET['filename'];
$mp3dir="/var/www/mp3s/";
$playercmd="/usr/local/bin/mpg123 -m -w - -q -4 --8bit";
passthru("$playercmd $mp3dir/$filename 2> /tmp/playererror");
?>
I request it as wavwrapper?filename=song.mp3, and the browser reads the
MIME type properly, prompts me to play or download the song. I download
it, and save it as a WAV file. However, Mozilla downloads about 1.5M of
data, saves it all to a file, and then displays the downloaded size as
1k. And then when I try to play it back, it won't play; it's like an
empty file. Same thing happens if I try to play it directly. But if I
redirect the output of mpg123 from standard out (so it goes across the
web connection) to a file and then download the file, the file plays
just fine. I figure there's something to do with the way PHP dumps back
the binary data that just isn't working right, but I don't know what it
is. Anyone have any ideas?
