What are the different ways to open an HTTPS connection from within a
script and receive back the response into a variable? I know CURL can do
it, and PHP 4.3 with OpenSSL can use fopen() to do it. Can sockets be
used at all with PHP 4.2 to get the page or maybe a system call to a
simple program to do it? This is going to be on a Win2K machine. Thanks
for any info.

Hello friends,
As the subject suggests I am looking for language capabilitie on my php webpages.
Can someone please tell me which is a good way? I thought that I could have a
database, but if so, can MySQL: handle multiple languages in the fields(like chinese
language)? if this is possible, what about the html output : does the user need to
install some fonts etc ?
Thanks very much

i prefer to use templates. i use my own template code, but there are
good template systems online that you can use,
e.g., http://smarty.php.net is powerful.
in a simple template system, assume that there is a file (the template)
that contains HTML (in my system, i use mixed php and html, with a
special function TemplateVirtual to make things work, but in this
example let's assume it's straight HTML to keep it simple as possible).
we load the file and replace substrings in there with the data. the
convention is:
database fieldname is, for example, dbfield. corresponding input fieldname
is dbfield_name, corresponding input value template (in the HTML, to be
replaced with the actual contents of the dbfield) is {dbfield_value}.
so the HTML might look like:
<INPUT name="dbfield_name" value="{dbfield_value"}>
function templateLoad($fn) /* returns template as one long string */
{
$fp=file($fn,1);
/* insert error handling here, e.g., error might not exist or be
unreadable */
$ret="";
while(list(,$v)=each($tmp))
$ret.=$v; /* or $ret.="$v\n" is nice too but might mangle
multiline HTML or PHP.*/
return $ret;
}
/* convenience/naming-consistency function only. use str_replace
directly if you want (i think the maintainability/consistency is more
valuable than the trivial speed increase */
function templateReplace($templ,$from,$to)
{
$templ=str_replace($from,$to,$templ);
return $templ;
}
to use this:
/* first load data from database or cookies, contents are
in $field1_value, $field2_value, $field3_value, etc, for
the database fields field1, field2, field3 */
$templ=templateLoad("mytemplate.inc");
if(!$templ) /* error handling or something */
die("Could not load template, aborting\n");
$templ=templateReplace($templ,"{field1_value}",$field1_value);
$templ=templateReplace($templ,"{field2_value}",$field2_value);
$templ=templateReplace($templ,"{field3_value}",$field3_value);
print($templ);
template systems have been discussed a lot online. do a google
search on templates, php, separation of display data and
programming logic. templates look complicated when used with
simple/small projects. however, they become much more
useful on larger projects since the look of the project is not
hardcoded in your PHP. you can do multiple looks (skins
or themes) by just switching to a different set of templates.
you can also have graphic designers working on the "look"
of the pages without needing to have them understand PHP.
they can edit just the templates, and as long as they follow
your convention on templates to be replaced and field
naming, the programming group and the graphic designers
can work separately and in parallel.

I have forms that have identical functionality, but don't exhibit that
erroneous behavior. I can't tell what you've done to the arguments to
mail() before using them, but the only thing I do is run them through
stripslashes() and trim(). i.e. -
$message = trim( stripslashes( $_POST['message'] ) );
If that's what you do too ... weird! If not, give it a try and see what
happens.
g.luck & cheers!

I have actually discovered the problem is in fact that the message gets
truncated after a Carriage Return.
The even wearder thing is that
$msg = ereg_replace( "\n", "NL", $msg );
Douse put NL where the carriage return was but also seems to leave some
kind on new line character.
So when I run $mgs through the function, do echo $msg, and look in the
source of the HTML $msg is still on a number of different lines,

I'm still not sure why the message would be truncated, but try replacing
\r\n instead of just \n. Windows uses \r\n, *nix uses \n and I think MAC
uses \r.
What are you using to view the message?

Sorted it out with
$message = ereg_replace("(\r\n|\n|\r)", "\n", trim( stripslashes(
$message) ) );
trim and stripslashes not strictly speaking nessesery. Not 100% sure what
happened here but guess \r\n or \r was causing problems.

The Internet is a wealth of resources, but some of them aren't as good as
others. If people here have had great success from some sites, I'd like to
be able to pass on those recommendations.
Both of the tutorials that got me going with PHP & MySQL appear on the
first page of the Google search John sent you. Those are Devshed and
Webmonkey, but that was long ago, there may be better choices now. One
thing to look for is a discussion of the "Register Globals" change and how
it affects PHP programming. Older tutorials may have a problem with how
they access form varibles.
> Did I make a valid suggestion?
Yes. PHP + MySQL are a very good way to solve the problem you
posed. Certainly my first choice. I wouldn't send an email on every entry
though. It is a waste. The entries are stored in the database, and you
can look through them any time you want. Just build a password protected
web page.
Picking a winner might be as easy as:
SELECT *
FROM Entries
ORDER BY RAND()
LIMIT 1
This picks one record from the Entries table at random. You may want to
send your self an email with the results, as this is truly random.
May as well let the computers do the work...

I have Apache running on Windows XP, however I am having problems
installing PHP. My PHP directory is C:\Active_Php and the documents say
that I should add the following lines to httpd.conf:
LoadModule php4_module c:/Active_PhP/sapi/php4apache.dll
AddModule mod_php4.c
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
However, I get an error when Apache tries to load the dll. Has any successfully
installed PHP and Apache on Windows XP? If so, what changes are made to

I found this function in the list archives while searching on how to find
the number of a weekday (say, Tuesdays) between 2 dates..
function weekdaysBetween ($timestamp1, $timestamp2, $weekday)
{
return floor(intval(($timestamp2 - $timestamp1) / 86400) / 7)
+ ((date('w', $timestamp1) <= $weekday) ? 1 : 0);
}
Sometimes it works, but I've come across a date while testing this that
doesn't work, which makes me think there is some bug in the function that
I'm not seeing.
The 2 dates I am trying are:
01-04-2002
and
02-05-2002
There should be 5 Tuesdays:
01-08-2002
01-15-2002
01-22-2002
01-29-2002
02-05-2002
Yet the script only returns 4, leaving off 02-05-2002.
$nowdate = mktime(0, 0, 0, $STARTMONTH, $STARTDAY, $STARTYEAR);
$futuredate = mktime(0, 0, 0, $ENDMONTH, $ENDDAY, $ENDYEAR);
That's how I'm generating the time stamps to pass to the function, and I've
confirmed the dates I've entered are correct..
echo weekdaysBetween($nowdate, $futuredate, 2);
Returns 4 ..
can anyone assist?
Thanks,

Say the you are going to create a simple forum and you want to have a number
of classes:
Class Sql - handles the DB interface
Class User - handles users
Class Messages - handles messages
When you are writing the code, you first creates a new sql object in order
to read or write data from or to the database.
Secondly you create a user object in order to handle users, for an example,
to authenticate the user which is going to write a new message in your
forum.
The user object have a method which reads user information from the
database.
Since you alread have created a sql object, this method should use the sql
object in order to fecth data from the database.
I nice way to do this, would be to send the sql object as an reference to
the user object constructor and store the object reference to the sql object
in the user object.
This is not working very well in PHP yet because PHP cannot treat objects as
references. When you send the sql object to the user object constructor
method, it will be a copy, not a reference!
How do I get around this? There must be a way to handle this and create nice
OOO PHP-code? I don't like using global variables as object handles.
Best regards

When I upload php and other files and set the permissions on my ISP's (CPanel) file
manager screen, sometimes the new permissions are set, other times they reset back to
644 without my knowing (so a visitor is unable to access the website, as the php
scripts don't execute), and others the screen just refuses to save the new settings.
Could anybody tell me why is this?

Hi.
I have myself written a rather clumsy mass mailer in
php which queues mail via the sendmail-command.
I have found this to be rather slow and ineffective.
You are talking about queueing mail directly to the
mailqueue, and I wonder, how is that done with php?
About making mails not rejected by spam-filters I have
experienced that there should be something in the to
field, many servers are rejecting mails that it empty in
that header. Also, if you are sending out html letters,
try and attach a plain text version as well, or emails
will be rejected as well. I have a rather neat script
for the latter if anybody is interested.
But please get back with some tips how to queue mail
straight to the mail queue for fast delievery.

Hi all,
Assume we've got a binary data file 'profile' which stores the data of a C
struct. The struct is as follows:
struct s_profile {
char id[32];
char vala:3;
char valb:1;
char valc:7;
}
Now I would like to read 'profile' using PHP's unpack(). So like this:
$f = fopen('profile', 'r');
$binaryData = fread($f, filesize('profile'));
$data = unpack('a32id/[...etc]', $binaryData);
My problem is: which formats should I use for char vala:3, char valb:1 &
char valc:7 ? In other words: what should be on the spot of [...etc] ?
cvala/cvalb/cvalc doesn't work.
Thanks,

You may want to look at Metastorage that draws graphs of classes of
objects that are stored in a database:

It's not permissions. The files to be read as well as folders are all

Your include_path in php.ini is null, as indicated by the line above.
What you're assuming will happen is that include will automatically look
in the "includes" dir for files, so you have to set this:
include_path="./includes"
I set mine:
include_path = ".:./:../:./include:../include"

don't use 777. that makes the scripts writeable for everyone. any
other user who can run scripts on that server can delete those
scripts or replace them with something malicious. if any scripts
on that server can be tricked into executing code as the webserver
user (nobody, apache, www, whatever) then those files of yours
can also be modified.
you're probably just testing on a private server, in which case
777 is convenient (still a bad habit, but convenient). but remember to
fix the permissions when you upload to a real server. better yet,
switch to saner permissions even if only testing on a private server.

looks like include_path in your php.ini is empty. if you have:
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
what does the include_path section say? normally, you should have
entries in there corresponding to directories where include files can
be found. e.g., a good minimal include_path might be:
include_path=".:..:/var/lib/www/standard_php_includes"
or something similar (i made up the last part, replace with wherever you
put standard includes that you use). i like having the current directory
and .. in there for obvious reasons.

Hi all,
I'm making the administration part of a site which handles categories,
sub categories and products. Inside the "Categories" part, there's a
"List categories" button which gives a list of the categories and sub
categories when pressed. Along with each category, there's a "Delete"
button that, when pressed, it's supposed to delete that category from
the DB. The problem here is that the lists is made dynamically using a
FOR loop and is being placed inside a FORM so the action is handled
through an ACTION="" tag.
Now, the ACTION tag points to a php file which deletes the desired row
in the DB. The question is how to tell that php file (through GET or
POST) which row to delete... My first shot was to name each "Delete" or
submit button inside form like "delcategory?catid=0001" but then the
POST wasn't reading that...
Any thoughts? Thanks in advance,
Cesar L. Aracena

You could use a bunch of forms, if you want to use a button. Since
you're using a while() loop, it wouldn't be a big deal...
While(fetching_from_db)
{
<form>
<hidden cat_id>
Other data
<submit button>
</form>
}
Then the delete button on each row is for it's own form with a hidden
cat_id element that you can use to tell which row to delete.
Even better would be to use checkboxes, so you can delete multiple rows
at one. Name them <input type="checkbox" name="delete[]"
value="<?=$cat_id?>">
And when it's submitted all of the checked boxes will be in
$_POST['delete'], so you can do this:
$delete_ids = implode(",",$_POST['delete']);
$query = "DELETE FROM table WHERE ID IN ($delete_ids)";
Add in your own validation, of course...

Hi,
Is there anyway to do a nested array, I have looked at the various array
functions and can't figure this out (if possible).
I want to be able to put each field of a row into an array, and then put
that entire row and into another array.
so when I display it, I would have:
row1 - col1 col2 col3 col4 col5
row2 - col1 col2 col3 col4 col5
row3 - col1 col2 col3 col4 col5
row4 - col1 col2 col3 col4 col5
row5 - col1 col2 col3 col4 col5
etc. (depending on how many rows there are).
TIA
