[PHP-WIN] Issue with MSSQL and PHP under windows
I've been trying to track down a gremlin within our servers for months now and can't seem to determine what I can do to resolve this issue. My existing setup is a MSSQL server running on Server 03 and it's a fairly beastly server. It's a 3.0ghz, dual processor, quad core server with 4 gigs of memory. Our web server is a bit more meager, a 3.4ghz dual processor, dual core xeon with 2 gigs of ram. I've been fighting with an issue which I had originally though was IIS where once we would get ~60 users on our system, PHP would lose its ability to connect to the MSSQL server and the only immediate way to resolve the issue was to restart IIS. The main users of the webserver is our call center, an average user loads a page once every 30-60 seconds.When I started working with the previous programmers code, I was able to reduce the frequency of this problem by optimizing some less efficient queries and writing some stored procedures. To ease the phone calls, I wrote a check where if the system is unable to connect, it would restart IIS. Over the past few months I've been rewriting our call center site under the Zend Framework and switched our server from IIS to Apache v2.2 and I'm receiving the same issues. During testing, when we had 30 users on Apache and 30 on IIS, IIS would still crash but Apache never had any issues. Once we moved the other 30 users to the new site, the errors are occurring again. I've already made sure I installed the ms sql client tooks on our webserver and have ntwdlib.dll in the system32 directory but I'm at a loss as to what the issue is. Part of me wonders if it's an issue with PHP's MSSQL functionality or an API issue. I could take the time to convert our server and try using apache under Linux but I can't imagine I'm going to have a better experience with FreeTDS but at the same time I can't be the only person with this much traffic on a Windows / MSSQL setup. Has anyone had a similar issue? I'm pretty stumped at this point and would appreciate any suggestions / ideas.

Re: [PHP-WIN] PHP4 strangeness with SQL Server 2005
In my experience I haven't come across something specifically like this. Have you run the specific query in Management Studio and taken a look at it? Quite often coming from a LAMP school myself, I always want to blame my query issues on php's support of mssql but more often than not its me looking in the wrong spot. Not to say that this is the case. Sometimes queries running in 2000 create different execution plans than they do in 2005. Weaver Hickerson wrote: Greetings to the group. I have a PHP4 report that has a couple of queries that "go out to lunch" when connected to 2005. Connect back to 2000 and it works fine. These are based on the mssql_connect, mssql_query, etc. Any help in getting past this stumbling block would be greatly appreciated. WE are looking to port to PHP5, but of course not overnight and this one came at us out of left field and we already are moved to the 2005 server. Every other php and query seems to work fine. Is there/are there some tricks/settings for dealing with php4 and SQL Server 2005? (the web server is a separate box from the DB server, by the way..)

Re: [PHP-WIN] there must be better way to handle "Null" undefined variables
This is more a matter of a php.ini setting. Check the values of
error_reporting in both your php.ini on the Windows and Linux boxes.
My guess is your windows value is E_ALL.

The only ways would be: 1. dynamically add the water mark to the actual image (change the pixels) so that the source file has a watermark. 2. add a css layer on top of the image that contains a watermark Which brings me to the question, why don't you just add a watermark to each image? If a css layer or anything esle that DOESN'T change the source file was employed, it would only act as a very mild deterent. Why not just set-up an action script (macro) in Photoshop to batch process all the images with a watermark... end of story.

You can read the entire text file to a string and then use explode() to
break it into an array using the newline character. Like this:
$array = explode("\n", $string);
That should make it easy to store it line by line to a dbase.

Problem 1 As far as I know mail() returns no result so you cannot tell if your first attempt to mail something was OK or not. PHP returns a result yes but that means whether the relay SMTP server accepted the message for later delivery. It can't tell immediately if the message could be delivered to the final recepient unless the final SMTP server is the same. Still, you need to be aware that some servers are configured to ignore messages that will never be delivered. Most servers will bounce the message but often not imediately. Usually the messages go to local queue before they are attempted to deliver to the final mailbox. This has been particularly true with servers with anti-virus that can't handle the flood of infected messages so fast. The best you can do is to set a return path address so the message gets bounced soon or later in case there was a problem. Problem 2 You can't override the relaying server ip in the mail() function. Not on Windows with normal SMTP servers. On Unix/Linux using sendmail, the messages are not queued using SMTP. That is too slow and pointless when the sendmail is installed in the same machine where you are sending messages from. Has anyone dealt with this?

IMHO, the original post wanted to try one relaying server, then if it failed, try another (or possibly directly send the message). Which would mean changing the 'relaying server'. Technically, all SMTP servers you connect to are the same no matter whether it relays or accepts for 'local' delivery.

I don't know why everyone who uses phpclasses gets so defensive when I suggest a PEAR class. I'm just suggesting alternatives that I use myself and that I know work well. I use PEAR because it has a centralized and robust error reporting mechanism, adheres to high coding standards, is actively tested and maintained by many people, is highly re-usable and tries not to duplicate code, and many other reasons. Before you get your back up, I'm not saying that the stuff on phpclasses doesn't have these features, I'm just saying that's why I use PEAR.

Here's a proof of concept for you. http://www.reversefold.com/~papercrane/smtp_direct I've implemented the smtp_direct class I spoke of earlier.

Because of the usual reasons: they might have a bigger or better TV, or they might have a broader selection on the cable TV network. Besides the tech points, it might also be be because the neighbor is a good old friend and one just happen to like the neighbors company, and (s)he even might have a nice supply of cold beers in the fridge to. heheh, some people do that yes, but I don't. Not that my TV is better but I would not have the nerve to push myself to neighbour's house and disturb them just to abuse of their TV and not for a less material reason. To bring this back to a more on-topic issue, I am perfectly aware that there is a lot of people that just download my stuff to learn how to do things and then adopt the code to their own versions and claim they did it. Those are the "knowledge s*ckers". This is part of the reason why I, as an author, prefer to upload it to the PHPClasses.org site and only allow downloading to subscribers that need to authenticate. It does not bother that people just go in there to steal some ideas or code to gain merits from my work. If it bothered me, I would not have make it available as Open Source with a BSD license in first place. However, I am more interested in legitimate users that download and try the code. This helps me test my code more intensively and iron any bugs or limitations much faster. I do not even wish or expect people to thank me. As long as they test the code and report any problems, or do not report anything because it is all right for them, that is fine for me. I agree fully. Testing and giving back is a major reason for putting my software out there. This is why I use PEAR. There is a large group of both developers and users who actively work together to make the packages better. I also like the standardization and use of high level programming concepts, such as seperation of functionality and re-use of code. The documentation is also very important. Nearly every bit of code in PEAR packages is documented. If no "Documentation" is on the site, you can still check the code itself to find instructions and even usage and examples. Obviously, the "knowledge s*ckers" will not provide any valuable feedback. Actually some of them even come in public just to b*tch that I require them to login to download my stuff. Some even threat to download similar packages from some other repository, as if I care. The world does not revolve around any individual alone, even less KS. If that requirement of login detracts some KS from even accessing the site, that is just perfect for me. That is not the main reason to keep that requirement for my classes but it is one reason more. I can justify spending time and effort to retribute the feedback that legitimate users provide. As for KS, sorry, they are not helping me at all, so I can't justify even to worry about the usual b*tching or threatning to use the TV of some other neighbour. ;-) Instead of making harder for legitimate users to use your software, maybe you should think about why people are "knowledge sucking" instead of using your class. -- paperCrane -- PHP Windows Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

I also like the standardization and use of high level programming concepts, such as seperation of functionality and re-use of code. As much as this thread was not about PEAR and PHP Classes, you seem to enjoy keep bringing that subject up. You sound like a snake oil salesman, always trying to push PEAR as the best place in the world to publish author classes, in typical attack to PHP Classes site as if it is a great threat to your existence. The truth is that many authors will always refuse to publish their classes in PEAR for reasons that have nothing to with the PHP Classes site. Many authors, including myself, have tried to contribute to PEAR but then there were a few individuals that were set to make it hard or even impossible to do it, usually for reasons of arguable logic. It seems that there is usually a small feud formed by a few individuals that are not interested to let other developers have a role that may put them in the shadow. With this protective attitude it is really very hard to even try to contribute. For instance the admitance of only one coding style will always be an obstacle to motivate developers to contribute to PEAR. I even recall until today, when Andrei Zmievski said PEAR coding style was so ridiculous that made him cry. I guess that was the reason why Smarty was never contributed as a PEAR package. Curiously, I read some statistics that show that Smarty alone is a more popular PHP.net project than the whole PEAR project. I even proposed to allow to preserve the coding style of the original contributor. The problem is that when people try to change coding styles, not only they waste a lot of time doing it right, but they may add bugs by accident where none existed. This proved to be true when Lukas Smith ported Metabase to PEAR style. Many bugs were added in code from Metabase that was working perfectly. Forcing people to change styles is like making all right handed people start writing with the left hand to be accepted. PEAR was set to be what CPAN was to Perl but CPAN does not have such mandatory style requirements. CPAN is a very large and useful repository. It has amazing automation and packaging as well as a great installer. However, you're missing some points. CPAN has standards as well. You muct name your module to conform with the namespaces already in ther system. You have to name your files a certai way. You are encouraged to talk about your module before submitting it. Other than that I see no written coding standards, but I highly doubt that a badly written module will last long or be used much. The Perl community is old and rife with its own politics. Actually, I'm not that surprised about the lack of standards surrounding CPAN. Perl itself is a kitchen sink language, including everything under the sun and allowing many *many* ways of doing the same thing. I myself have never been able to figure out what to do with Perl. I've used it and for big projects, but it doesn't scale well at all. But I'm digressing. The lack of standardizaition comes with a price. If you don't enforce any kind of standards, code can very easily have bugs and, worse, be hard to understand and debug. I treat perl modules as compiled binaries (as they sometimes are) because they are almost universally hard to understand, as it most Perl. PHP, on the other hand, is much easier to standardize, especially if we start now before we're as bug as Perl. PEAR in particular I find easy to use. There is *always* some kind of documentation for a decently developed package. Until PEAR people become effectively more open minded, without any hipocrisy and protectionism, PEAR will always suffer from the absence of many very qualified PHP developers, making it a shadow of what PEAR hoped to be. The reality speaks for itself. PEAR rules are not consensual nor there seems to be great interest from PEAR people to change that. It is all in their hands to change. Good points, but you are missing something there. It is true that a rigourous standard cuts out lots of developers. Even lots of talented developers, but if you start with PEAR, it's not so hard to code for PEAR. Even if you don't start there, the standards are still a good thing. Once you know how

The only problem is when you disregard the original poster problems and propose packages that do not solve the user problems at all.

Hi everybody,
I have built a shopping cart using tables. I am able to add items and remove
items from the cart. The problem I am having is updating the quantities in
the cart.
When users view the cart they can see the quantity in a text field. I want
to allow users to type in the quantities they want in this box and then
submit the form to display the new quantities.
The problem is when the form is submitted only one of the quantity fields is
updated, the others remain unchanged. I have tried to use a while loop to
make it update all the quantities but it doesn't seem to work. Below is the
script I am using to UPDATE the quantites. Can anyone help me?
Thanx in advance.
mysql_select_db($database_con_ayrsrock, $con_ayrsrock);
$queryQty= "SELECT qty FROM cart WHERE trackerId = $trackerId AND albumId =
$albumId";
$rsQty = mysql_query($queryQty);
while ($row_rsQty = mysql_fetch_array($rsQty))
{
$newQty = $qty;
mysql_query("update cart set qty = $newQty where trackerId = $trackerId and
albumId = $albumId");
}
; ?>
Looks like you're naming all of your quantity text boxes "qty". You need
to use different var names to make multuple values come back. For
instance you could use "qty[]" to have the results come back in an
array. Or you could use qty[x] where x is a specific # so that you know
which product to update.

1) don't use newlines in your headers. Send each header with its own
header() call
2) browsers are fickle when it comes to downloading files. Search
Google and the lists for more ideas
Here's what I ended up with after lots of heartache:
header('Pragma: private');
header('Content-Type: '.$resource['mimeType']);
header('Content-Disposition: inline; filename="'.$resource['fileName'].'"');
//header('Content-Length: '.strlen($resource['data']));
header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary');
echo $resource['data'];
I never got the content-length to work right, myself.

If so, if you're not submitting your source back to mysql, it would be a pain to keep it in sync. Also, they just might not accept the code.

You use the same TCP connection (stream) for multiple requests to the webserver. It is a bit strange, but it's supported. Sounds like the OPs webserver isn't allowing the persistent connections to go through. Maybe Apache needs to be configured differently. Or PHP might be doing it.

Problem solved. ;-) I have no idea where you can look for this. Perhaps it is in how PHP is used with IIS? Don't know if you can use a module vs. CGI with IIS, but if you can, try. Perhaps it's your build? Have you patched IIS with all the newest patches? Have you gotten the newest PHP?

[PHP-WIN] Persistant Socket Across Different Scripts
I am trying to figure out if there is a way to have a socket persist in different executions of the same script. My situation is as follows; I have a Java program running and waiting for connections on port 1. When it receives a connection it reads a "device" id and loads a device driver for it and then passes the stream to this driver. I would like to be able to communicate over this stream with the client using a browser and PHP. I can open the stream when the script runs for the first time, but each time the user gets the script again the connection is being re-made. I tried pfsockopen but it seemed to work the same of fsockopen. Thanks very much, Justin -- PHP Windows Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP-WIN] How do I enable QDBM dba handler for windows?
I am running PHP 5.0.3 and Apache/2.0.53(Win32) on WinXP Pro. I have enabled the DBA extention (php_dba.dll) in php.ini. I have downloaded qdbm-1.8.21-win32 and copied the required dlls into the PHP directory (and C:\WINDOWS to be doubly sure they are in the path). How do I enable the QDBM as a supported dba handler? There doesn't seem to be any php.ini settings for DBA, and yes I did restart Apache. There must be a simple or obvious step I am missing. Is there suppose to be another extension I need to download/add to the php.ini file or setting? I noticed someone asked a similar question in January, though not QDBM specifically, but no-one has responded, or the solution wasn't posted.

Re: [PHP-WIN] How do I enable QDBM dba handler for windows?
Hi Edin, Indeed that may be the case! However, there is a Win32 port for QDBM that I downloaded from qdbm.sourceforge.net which includes dlls, header files to compile qdbm support into win apps, and comes with DOS apps that can create, access and test qdbm files. This may be a new addition to the QDBM binaries. I just need to now find out how to get PHP's dba extention to support it too!

[PHP-WIN] PHP Build problems on windows
Hello, I've been trying to build PHP on WIndows 7 with the windows platform SDK. In my first attempt I ran configure.js like this: C:\src\php-5.3.1>configure --enable-debug --enable-crt-debug --enable-cli-win32 --with-openssl --enable-soap --with-xsl I ran make and it ended like this: stream.c tar.c util.c c:\src\php-5.3.1\ext\phar\util.c(30) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'openssl/evp.h': No such file or director y NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\Bin\cl.exe"' : return code '0x2' Stop. Now I think the fact configure didn't fail or disable openssl support should be configured a bug, but I thought I would confirm that here. Relevant configure output: Checking for library ssleay32.lib ...

This lead to some errors that seem to be zlib related.

For example, what if I had a script that I ran from the command line that edited xml files that were more than 3 gigabytes in size? Lets assume that this was the only way to get this data, and this script was putting the data in a database. I would not be able to do that operation in 32 bit php because the entire xml file could not be loaded into memory. The above example is more feasible then many would think (sometimes you have no control over the format of the data you get). There are also other cases where the memory address limitations of a 32 bit process could come into play. Justin

Hello, I'm curious as to the plan for msi installers for PHP 5.4? Is this going to continue? Is the installer being rewritten? Thanks, Justin
Re: [PHP-WIN] Is there going to be an MSI for php 5.4?
Pierre, I don't NEED it but I like it. Was going to suggest adding IIS express support to it. I can live with phpmanager for IIS andthe command line tools, I find the MSI superior and was looking forward to figuring out how to do custom silent installs with it.

Re: [PHP-WIN] Is there going to be an MSI for php 5.4?
The MSI is a great asset for PHP on windows when it "just works." I remember older releases where that was not always the case. Recently, it seems pretty good with IIS. I can see the case that the MSI might be more trouble than its worth because it has to be maintained. Would it be possible to direct people towards phpmanager, webmatrix, etc on the download page as alternatives to the zip file for people uncomfortable with configuring IIS?
