There must be something obvious that I am missing but I cant get the php

sends this data has the correct field names. I am also using the get action,
so I can see the variables and values so I know that they are being passed
correctly to the form. On submit, the form below displays as follows below.

Sorry, but not.

I have changed it to ssl and the message is the same:

Notice: fopen(): Unable to find the wrapper "ssl" - did you forget to enable
it when you configured PHP?

I can use nothing that is out of the standard php package, because I'm doing
a script for other users that can't change their php installation.

Unless I'm missing something here this is incorrect. PHP does not bother
the client side except to send data, i.e. html/javascript/etc.

On another note:

A possible solution might be to load the popup page in an iframe instead
of popping a new window. afaik you can't open a window with plain html
without a manual click?

For a normal file (not through PHP) the headers are:

Accept-Ranges: bytes
Connection: Close
Content-Length: 25600
Content-Type: application/msword
Date: Tue, 23 Dec 2003 09:51:19 GMT
ETag: "08f72d578c3c31:8d0"
Last-Modified: Tue, 16 Dec 2003 02:03:44 GMT
Server: Microsoft-IIS/5.0

And through PHP (my script) it is:

Accept-Ranges: bytes
Cache-Control: private
Connection: Close
Content-Disposition: inline; filename="testdoc.doc"
Content-Length: 25600
Content-Type: application/msword; name="testdoc.doc"
Date: Tue, 23 Dec 2003 10:03:35 GMT
Expires: 0
Pragma: public
Server: Microsoft-IIS/5.0
X-Powered-By: PHP/4.2.2

It seems whatever I try to set the headers I have control over, it doesn't
work...
Is there anyway one can stop PHP from sending the Pragma at all?

Yes, there is a difference, I didn't say there wasn't, just that I couldn't
see how that (to me) small difference would actually make such a big
difference...

[PHP] Debugging using dbg and ddd on linux

Actually i try to identify the situation in which the skript is echoing the

This is the form for the upload:







The following site checks the uplad and copies the file to a specific

You could look at
http://de3.php.net/session_cache_limiter
http://de3.php.net/manual/en/ref.session.php#ini.session.cache-limiter

Perhaps you should try "none"? I use "private". But at the moment I don't
know exactly which headers are effected here, you should try out.

You can find more comments about this topic here: http://de3.php.net/header

[PHP] Error with Absolute URLs

[user]

Hi,

I keep getting errors on my websites, that contain absolute URLs, e.g. 
http://www.url.com/blah.html. With most, being in the folder of my 
website, it's fine, i can just add $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'], but 
there's a script I use to display the network statistics of an IRC 
network, which is located on a different server, so i can't use the 
$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'], I'm wondering if anyone has an answer to 
this. I'm almost to the stage of just asking the script owner if I can 
have it located locally, so i can use the $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] 
variable.

It was working fine until the server admin updated to PHP 4.3.4, but he 
is not the best with PHP/HTML programming, so he can't help much.

Hope someone can help.

Thanks!

RE: [PHP] Re: progress in PHP

[Steve Murphy]

Actually it is very possible with PHP through the use of temporary files, which is how 
this works. I have only tested the meter with IE and Mozilla (Firebird) on Windows 
with no problems. I will test on the Mac side but because its PHP performing the 
function, browsers should not matter. 

I have also read that an upload meter function was to be added to PHP 5 but was then 
dropped, I would love it if a PHP developer could offer some insight to these rumors. 
I know this is not the correct mailing list but maybe someone knows something. 

I've also added one more download on the site which gives an example php.ini file. 
I've tested the meter with a 160MB file on 128MB RAM 500Mhz K6 system. The download 
also includes sample HTML code. I'm working on adding CSS to customize the look a 
little more. 

Hope this will answer some questions.

All of the inputed data from the form are text boxes, not drop downs,
except the travelers, which is in a multiple select field, sized by
count($array).

Each of the text input boxes return an array, so for the first hotel,
I would have Array(date) array(hotel), etc. the value in each array[0]
is the first hotel, array[1] is the second hotel, etc. but when it
comes to the travelers, there is one array, just like the rest, but I
have no idea of knowing what travelers they chose, since the user can
select multiple travelers.

I guess what I need is a type of delimiter to distinguish where each
hotel stops, and where the new one starts, or find an alternative to
the select multiple field option.

Does this help?

Randomly the php-source is displayed instead of the output
(http://www.engstringen.ch/).
Generally, the output is correct !!! It happens sometimes after 10 minutes
of browsing. Sometimes it comes up with the first clikc on the site.

This was the case when having installed apache 1.3 und php 4.1.

After ugrading to apache 2 and php 4.3.4 the bug still occurs. But the
browser shows now a file download dialog box for downloading the php -script
instead of having executed it !!!
The header of the response contains the php - mime type configured
application/x-httpd-php.

The apache config contains
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php4 .php3 .phtml
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
Include conf/confixx_vhost.conf

The confixx_vhost.conf contains lots of virtual host configured on a  named
vhost basis.

php is minimally configured with
  './configure' '--with-mysql' '--with-apxs'

Linux version Linux 2.4.20.

Thanks for any hint
Stephan

[PHP] Simple fwrite question

[Hartley, Matt]

I am trying to have a counter in a file.  With what I have below I get in
the $counterfile

0 + 01 = 01
01 + 01 = 012
012 + 01 = 01213

[snip]

  /* Add "1" to the counter */
$counter = ($counter + '01');

/* Verify counter file is writable */
if (is_writable($counterfile)); /* { */
if (!$handle = fopen($counterfile, 'a')) { 
  print "Cannot open file ($counterfile)";
  exit;
} 
/* Write to our counter file. */
  if (!fwrite($handle, $counter)) {
  print "Cannot write to file ($counterfile)";
  exit;
}
fclose($handle); 

[/snip]

How do I overwrite the existing value with my new value instead of it adding
on after the past values?

My other dilemma is, 

this counter decides what line to display in a sequence from a separate file
what command can I use to tell it when $counter is @ the last line in my
"tips" file to reset to zero

thanks
Matt

You're "adding" a string. That doesn't make much sense. Just use $counter++;
or $counter = $counter + 1;

Open the file in "w" (write) mode instead of "a" (append) mode. This will
clear the file and you can write your new value to it.

Note that if two peope hit your site at the same time, you'll have issues
here because they'll both try to open and read the file. You could end up
missing hits.

Why not approach it this way, which I've seen mentioned on here. Instead of
keeping an actual number in the file, just write a character to the file.
You can then use filesize() to determine how many "hits" are in the file.

I don't understand what you're asking here.

[PHP] [Q] Best Practices Question - Directory Structures for WEB site dev using PHP

[Michael T. Peterson]

Hi,

I'm new to PHP and WEB site development, but have coded in C/C++, Java, and
multiple shells for over 20 years.  So far I've found this stuff really neat
(and challenging). Anyway, I have a few questions dealing with file
locations, [de facto] directory structures, etc., when designing a WEB Site
whose content will be managed, for the most part, using PHP.  BTW, I've read
Welling and Thompson, a lot of the docs on www.zend.com, and various other
useful PHP web sites.  I've also written some simple functions, played with
templates (inc smarty), etc.  About the only info I've been unable to find
are suggestions as to how to layout the *.php files in a WEB Site.

I develop with Dreamweaver MX on Windows XP Pro using IIS.  When complete, I
upload to my WEB host.  On Linux, I use a text editor (Visual Slick Edit)
and Apache.  Both systems have the latest stable MySQL and PHP releases.
Sources are managed with CVS.

1) How do experienced developers layout their [dev] directory hierarchy?
For example, is there an accepted place to put one's function libraries?  On
IIS (Windows XP), the default directory structure is

c:\inetpub\
AdminScripts
iissamples
mailroot
Scripts
wwwroot\
myproject1
myproject2
...
myprojectN

where the myproject* directories are my current WEB Site designs.

2) When using CVS, I should think that the PHP files would be checked-out
into a directory that IS NOT in a [local] WEB Site directory (i.e., to avoid
littering the structure with CVS directories).  When the files are ready to
be uploaded to WEB site they would then be exported into the WEB Site
directory for uploading.  Is this how you guys do things?

If one can point me to docs/books/webs that cover these (and other similar
questions) I would be very grateful.  Also, if you just want to tell me how
you do it, I would appreciate that very much.

Thanks, in advance.

Michael

[PHP] String replacement problems...

[John Clegg]

Hi

I am trying to figure out how to get ereg_replace / preg_replace to 
replace a match only once.

Here is my example:

$text = "[foo] bah [foo] moo [foo] boo\n";

$ans = ereg_replace("\[foo\]{1}","FOO",$text);

or

$ans = preg_replace("/\[foo\]{1}/",$text,"FOO");

The answer I get for both I run the example

echo $ans;

FOO bah FOO moo FOO boo

Can any tell me what I am doing wrong ? I am trying only to replace the 
match once. eg

FOO bah [foo] moo [foo] boo

Any help would be appreciated...

Cheers

[PHP] PHP Compile w/ Sun ONE Directory Server

[Cameron B. Prince]

Hi,

I am trying to compile PHP with LDAP support via the Sun ONE Directory
Server. I am running into a problem where some functions aren't being found
in the include or shared libraries. Here's my configure command:

export
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/lib:/usr/local/nss-3.8/lib:/usr/local/nspr-4.3/lib:/us
r/local/mysql/lib:/usr/local/lib/sparcv9:/data/sunone_php/servers/lib:/data/
sunone_php/servers/lib/sasl"

./configure --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql \
--with-nsapi=/data/sunone_php/webservers \
--enable-libgcc \
--with-zlib-dir=/usr/local \
--with-openssl=/usr/local/ssl \
--with-ldap=/data/sunone_php/servers

The configure command completes successfully with no errors. The make
however, fails with:

Undefined   first referenced
 symbol in file
sasl_client_step
/data/sunone_php/servers/lib/libldap50.so
sasl_encode

ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to sapi/cli/php
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `sapi/cli/php'


I added /data/sunone_php/servers/lib/sasl to the library path in the hopes
that it would find the functions there, but still no dice. I've also tried
compiling my own copy of sasl and pointing to it, but I'm not sure which
version to use and that didn't work either.

If I configure without LDAP, everything works fine. I desparately need to
get this going as we aren't going to be able to use PHP without LDAP support
and we have deadlines approaching quickly.

Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Cameron

The fourth parameter to preg_replace() is an integer limit to how many
matches you want to allow. So, if you only want 1 replacement to occur, pass
1. :)

[PHP] Assist with session persistance

[Terry Romine]

I have a site that is using $_SESSION['variablename'] for many 
variables that are loaded when the user first enters the site 
(index.php), and then referenced on each page (display.php):

ex: index.php
session_start();
$agencyID=9;
$agencyName="fremont";
$_SESSION['agencyID'] = $agencyID;
$_SESSION['agencyName'] = $agencyName;
ex: display.php
session_start();
$agencyID=$_SESSION['agencyID'];
$agencyName=$_SESSION['agencyName'];
But after awhile, the session seems to fail and I end up back at the 
index page because the $agencyID gets voided. Is there a timeout on 
sessions other than closing the browser? If so, is there a way to set 
timeout if one doesn't have server admin access? Should I be doing 
something like:

ex: display.php
session_start();
$agencyID=$_SESSION['agencyID'];
$agencyName=$_SESSION['agencyName'];
$_SESSION['agencyID'] = $agencyID;
$_SESSION['agencyName'] = $agencyName;
to update the session variables with each page?

The directive session.cookie_lifetime in your php.ini is what a session

create it using session_set_cookie_params().

There is a session timeout. http://ch.php.net/session take a look at
the variable session.gc_maxlifetime . I am not sure how to change this
if you dont have admin access.

You could store the session info in a db and right your own clean up
routines.

I think you can skip this:
$agencyID=9;
$agencyName="fremont";

and just do this:
$_SESSION['agencyID'] = 9;
$_SESSION['agencyName'] = "fremont";

then just use the $_SESSION vars in your scripts.

I can use nothing that is out of the standard php package, because I'm doing
a script for other users that can't change their php installation.
In that case, you need to resort to a Curl based solution as Curl 
extension is available since much earlier PHP versions (PHP 4.0.2).

In that case you may want to try that HTTP client class that simplifies 
a lot the access to the Web resources via SSL using Curl if available. 
It also supports accessing HTTPS pages via a proxy accessible http 
without SSL, so no Curl library is necessary.

This a different thing. This is meant to track progress of server side 
tasks. File uploading is a client side task.

Unfortunately, AFAIK there is no way to handle streams of HTTP requests. 
Therefore, there is no way to handle upload progress with a PHP only 
solution.

The Raditha megaupload solution is based on a combination of Perl with 
PHP. It is probably the solution that uses more PHP but the hard work is

Because PHP does not provide support to handle the raw HTTP request. By 
the time that PHP scripts starts executing, PHP already processed the 
uploaded copying the incoming data to a temporary file. OTOH, Perl 
provides support to handle the incoming HTTP request as it happens, not 
after it is done.

[PHP] Variable variables

[Richard Baskett]

Ok I am trying to create a variable from the value of a variable plus some
extra text tagged on the end of it.

So for example:

$test = '_over';
$$CONFIG['island'].$test = 'testing';
echo "hawaii = $hawaii_over";

How can I do this? Im sure it's possible, but it just is not working for me
:(

Thanks!

Rick

Re: [PHP] Can't upload file greater than 11kb

[Chris]

I don't believe that the MAX_FILE_SIZE needs to be there. It will only
terminate the upload process at the client, rather than wait for the upload
to complete.

Anyway with or without MAX_FILE_SIZE the upload process is being terminated
after the file is uploaded.

When the form is submitted, the selected file is uploaded to the server's
temp directory then copied to the maps dir.  For some reason, when the file
size exceeds 11kb (very small) the process
gets aborted (with or without MAX_FILE_SIZE). I've put in diagnostic
messages and the POST script throws an error message if it can't find the
file
in the temp directory. I've uploaded several file sizes up to the max of 2MB
and it appears the file is being uploaded. I base this assumption on the
fact the upload time is proportional to the file size. When the file size is
greater than 11kb it appears that the file is deleted from the temp dir.

Still no idea what is going on.

Re: [PHP] Re: progress in PHP

[Raditha Dissanayake]

Hi

To Manuel: You have answered the questions better than i could have :-) 
thanx. Yes perl is used because it gives access to raw post data.

To Ed: If you are on a standard rpm distro all the modules are probably 
there already.  and thus megaupload becomes plug and play.

To David: It does use a javascript to make a popup that's all. If you 
eliminate the popup and show the progress bar in a frame you don't need 
any javascript at all

To Everyone: Enjoy your christmas.

best regards

Because PHP does not provide support to handle the raw HTTP request. 
By the time that PHP scripts starts executing, PHP already processed 
the uploaded copying the incoming data to a temporary file. OTOH, Perl 
provides support to handle the incoming HTTP request as it happens, 
not after it is done.

Re: [PHP] Can't upload file greater than 11kb

[Raditha Dissanayake]

Hi,

It's often said in many newsgroups and articles that the max_file_size 
is next to useless. It's also said that once IE starts uploading it will 
not stop even if you keep you foot on the stop button!

If i remembers the earlier messages you have said the php.ini settings 
are correct. If so it could well be that you might be having 
misconfigured proxy server or firewall in the way. 

Apache also has a setting (LimitRequestBody) that could effect your upload.

all the best

Session timeout is controlled by the session.gc_maxlifetime setting. 
It's the number of seconds after which session files will be seen as old 
and removed (if they aren't accessed in that time).

If you want the session to persist outside of the browser closing, then 
you can set the lifetime of the session cookie. Be sure to raise 
gx_maxlifetime to match what you set the cookie lifetime to, also.

I might not be sure what you mean, about using an array for all of that, but
within one line of code, it is taking care of a variable that will change
depending on the config island variable. Otherwise I would have needed to
use a switch statement, which is a whole lot more than just one variable.
But then again if your array solution would work in one line.. then I would
love to see it!

Cheers!

[PHP] Headers Problem

[Beauford]

I'm getting the following error. My question is, where would I use the
ob_start() and ob_end_flush() function so I can get rid of this. I have read
the PHP manual, but not quite getting it.Or if there is a better way?

This is how the files work. update-corrections-input.php (user inputs info
by a form). This file includes another file - restricted.inc. The form in
update-corrections-input.php calls update-corrections-write.php which
processes the input and then includes update-corrections-input.php again. So
basically it just brings the user back to the form again.

Any input is appreciated

Don't work around the problem with output buffering; try fixing it.

You must have session_start() before any output. You've placed it on 
line 1 of restricted.inc, but output was started on line 2 of 
update-corrections-write.php. If you're going to include restricted.inc 
and start a session, include it before there is output.

Re: [PHP] Can't upload file greater than 11kb

[Chris]

It has been my experience that max_file_size does terminate the upload
process if you include it in the form.
But you are right, if it gets to the upload, your stuck.

LimitRequestBody is beyond my control as the site is hosted by a third
party.

In an effort to keep this thread going and hopefully find an answer op
left out some important information this time around. (He posted a
related question yesterday.)

He is not using MySQL. He is using MSSQL. According to what he said in
another thread the database has stored all the data without being
cutoff. I imagine he's able to view it in another way aside from
retrieving it via php to verify it's been inserted completely.


Does this help anyone narrow it down? (because I certainly have no
idea.)

Thanks, I tried that and it actually worked!...once...so since the number
of bytes that IE downloads from my file seems to vary each time, I guess
it was just a flux of luck that it downloaded the whole file this once
sigh...

It drives me nuts to think about it, it's just so weird...

Please also try http://www.php.net/manual/faq.php 
to get answers to frequently answered questions 
about PHP (added by Christophe Chisogne).

2. Try http://www.google.com next. Searching for 
"php YOUR QUERY" may fetch you relevant results 
within the first 10 results, if you are lucky.

3. There is a searchable archive of the mailing 
list discussion at 
http://phparch.com/mailinglists. Many of the 
common topics are discussed repeatedly, and you 
may get answer to your query from the earlier 
discussions. 

For example: One of the repeatedly discussed 
question in the list is "Best PHP editor". 
Everyone has his/her favourite editor. 
You can get all the opinions by going through the 
list archives. If you want a chosen list try this 
link : http://phpeditors.linuxbackup.co.uk/ 
(contributed by Christophe Chisogne).

4. Not sure if PHP is working or you want to find 
out what extensions are available?

Just put the following code into a file with a 
.php extension and access it through your 
webserver:

 

If PHP is installed you will see a page with a lot 
of information on it. If PHP is not installed (or 
not working correctly) your browser will try
to download the file.

5. If you are stuck with a script and do not 
understand what is wrong, instead 
of posting the whole script, try doing some 
research yourself. One useful trick is to print 
the variable/sql query using print or echo 
command and check whether you get what you 
expected. 

After diagnosing the problem, send the details of 
your efforts (following steps 1, 2 & 3) and ask 
for help.

6. PHP is a server side scripting language. 
Whatever processing PHP does takes 
place BEFORE the output reaches the client. 
Therefore, it is not possible to access the 
users'  computer related information (OS, screen 
size etc) using PHP. You need to go for 
JavaScript and ask the question in a JavaScript 
list.

On the other hand you can access the information 
that is SENT by the user's browser when a client 
requests a page from your server. You can
find details about browser, OS etc as reported by 
this request. - contributed by Wouter van Vliet 
and reworded by Chris W Parker.

7. Provide a clear descriptive subject line. Avoid 
general subjects like "Help!!", "A Question" etc.  
Especially avoid blank subjects. 

8. When you want to start a new topic, open a new 
mail composer and enter the mailing list address 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] instead of replying to 
an existing thread and replacing the subject and 
body with your message.

9. It's always a good idea to post back to the 
list once you've solved your problem. People 
usually add [SOLVED] to the subject line of their
email when posting solutions. By posting your 
solution you're helping the next person with the 
same question. [contribued by Chris W Parker]

10. Ask smart questions

Sounds more like the mysql field is a varchar255, rather than maybe a

In an effort to keep this thread going and hopefully find an answer op
left out some important information this time around. (He posted a
related question yesterday.)
He is not using MySQL. He is using MSSQL. According to what he said in
another thread the database has stored all the data without being
cutoff. I imagine he's able to view it in another way aside from
retrieving it via php to verify it's been inserted completely.
Does this help anyone narrow it down? (because I certainly have no
idea.)
This problem comes up every now and then, but I can't find anything good 
in the archives. Basically, if you're using a varchar (or nvarchar?) 
column, you can only have a max size of 255 characters. Anything larger 
needs to use a text column. I think this is dependent upon the library 
you're using to access MSSQL (like an ODBC limitation?), so you should 
look at other libraries to see if this was fixed.

The problem is not showing progress but rather tracking progress.

What you seem to not be understanding is that PHP handles uploads 
internally. So, by the time a PHP script that gets the submitted upload 
form starts running, the upload was already ended and the uploaded files 
were copied to some temporary files.

PHP itself does not give you a chance to track the progress of the 
upload because that is something handled at the HTTP request level.

The Perl solution is based on a script that handles and tracks the 
upload and another that shows the progress. That is why you need to show 
progress in a popup or a separate frame.

look good.


This a different thing. This is meant to track progress of server side
tasks. File uploading is a client side task.
Unfortunately, AFAIK there is no way to handle streams of HTTP requests.
Therefore, there is no way to handle upload progress with a PHP only
solution.
The Raditha megaupload solution is based on a combination of Perl with
PHP. It is probably the solution that uses more PHP but the hard work is
done using Perl.

Re: [PHP] Re: progress in PHP

[Jeremy Johnstone]

FWIW, here is a link to a PHP extension which enables the ability to
track the progress of a PHP upload. I did not write the extension, so if
it breaks something I am not responsible. It was previously discussed on
the php-dev mailing list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) a month or two ago,
but it was never decided if it would be officially added into PHP.

This is not really an extension but rather a patch to change PHP 
behaviour in order to store upload progress in files that can be 
examined by another process.

Apparently, nobody with enough karma seemed interested to commit the 
patch. It probably needs further checking to ensure that it is safe to 
execute, especially in shared environments where different hosting 
clients may be using the same Web server.

[PHP] Error with Absolute URLs

[Brad]

Hi,

I keep getting errors on my websites, that contain absolute URLs, e.g. 
http://www.url.com/blah.html. With most, being in the folder of my 
website, it's fine, i can just add $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'], but 
there's a script I use to display the network statistics of an IRC 
network, which is located on a different server, so i can't use the 
$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'], I'm wondering if anyone has an answer to 
this. I'm almost to the stage of just asking the script owner if I can 
have it located locally, so i can use the $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] 
variable.

It was working fine until the server admin updated to PHP 4.3.4, but he 
is not the best with PHP/HTML programming, so he can't help much.

Hope someone can help.

Thanks!

[PHP] How do I make these two MySQL queries into one line?

[Dave G]

PHP Gurus,
I'll consider myself lucky to get a response so close to
Christmas, but here goes.

I have two tables. One contains member information, and one
lists which groups the members belong to. I want to select the email
address of active members from the member information table, and I want
to select only the members which belong to a particular group. Right now
I can only think to accomplish this in two lines:
$query1 = "SELECT member_id FROM groups WHERE group_id =" .
$chosenGroup
Then, take the results and do another query:
$query2 = "SELECT email FROM members WHERE active = yes AND
member_id =" . $query1Results

But surely there's a way to collapse this into one MySQL line.
