[PHP-WIN] Postnuke, PHP and Windows ISA servers

[Mike]

I am a secondary student who runs VBulletin forum from my house. I am the
administrator and everytime I connect to it from school, the schools ISA
server caches my username and password. I was wondering if there was a PHP
fix to this type of situation. People in my school who use the forums are
being able to post stuff under my name from around the campus. Any insight
appreciated.

Thanks!

[PHP-WIN] Re: Implement Javascript into vB code

[Mike]

Sorry guys, let me rephrase my question.

I want to insert some javascript code into the code for my forum (vB) not as
a post, but as a forum post, but as code within the php file.

Sorry about the confusion

[PHP-WIN] 4.0.6 mssql.dll Extension load failure

[Mike]

We have PHP installed as an ISAP module on our W2K IIS5 server and
its operational with no problems - phpinfo() runs just fine.

But - When I uncomment the php_mssql.dll extension in php.ini I get an error
when PHP starts up saying it cannot find the .dll file.

The extension directory is correctly set to, c:\php\extensions
and the actual file itself is in that directory as wells as
c:\winnt\system32 and MSSQL client libraries are loaded and operational.

Cant think of anything else I need to do - does the .dll file need
be registered with regsrvr or something ??

 Can anybody give me some pointers please ?

 Thanks & rgds

[PHP-WIN] Re: Problems setting up a DSN

[Mike]

Daniel,

If you are accessing an Access 2k database, I would use OLEDB rather than
ODBC. With this you would not require a DSN, and the speed is greater.

ex.

$conn = new COM("ADODB.Connection");
$connString = 'PROVIDER=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;DATA
SOURCE=F:\someMDB.MDB;User Id=Foo;Password=Bar';
$conn->Open($connString);
$rs = $conn->Execute("SomeSQL");
$conn->Close();

Re: [PHP-WIN] php4 and interbase

Yes, but do you have the php_interbase.dll in your extensions directory.

And I assume you have a line similar to this in your INI:

extension_dir = "f:\apache\php\extensions"

Re: [PHP-WIN] 4.0.6 mssql.dll Extension load failure

[Mike]

Finally realised what was wrong - You need to manually copy ALL the SQL
Server client network files from the sqlServer box into the system32
directory on the PHP/IIS server box. - then magically the module loads and
works - Using a regular SQL client install some of the files tha PHP needs
dont get installed.

This was NOT straightforward to fix.

On researching this problem - there are lots and lots of people who have had
this error - how do we get the fix posted to an FAQ for php/IIS/SQLServer
configs ?

Thanks to all those who helped out on this.

[PHP-WIN] Need Advice

[Mike]

Ok, I have looked for the past 2 days searching for an answer to my problem.
It's not PHP related but quite similar to it.

I run a web/FTP server from my house. My problem is that my download rates
to my place is super fast yet my u/l rates really suck. I mean I can't push
anything faster then 15 kb/s and I am on a 1.5 MB connection with a 765KBs
up stream. Whats going on? i have tried 2 nics and that don't seem to be the
problem. That and the other computers that are on same network that i'm on
are lagged to crap. Its been happening for 4 months now and it is really
making me mad.
Any ideas?? here are the specs:

AMD 1.4 GHz
512MB PC-133 RAM
D-Link 530+TX 10/100
SMC 10

Is there something in the registry that i can change? Maybe its a registry
setting for an up down ratio?

I am creating a page with a form on it. I want it so that when people click

have to use something like PHP.

[PHP-WIN] $GLOBALS

[Mike]

When running the following code:

foreach($GLOBALS['photo'] as $photo)

I get:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() on line 63

Would register globals have to be on for this code to work?  Am I using the
$GLOBALS clause wrong?  It would seem to me that this should work since you
can use post in the same fashion.
ie: foreach($_POST['photo'] as $photo)

[PHP-WIN] teehing troubles with PHP

[Mike]

I'm studying Information systems at university, and I've been set an
assignment to create a simple website using PHP and MySQL. I'm installed
them on my comp at home running Win XP with IIS as my web server. I've
successfully run ASP pages on this set-up but when I try to run a simple
test PHP script - echo ('Hello World'); - all I get is a blank page. But if
I view the source of this page it appears to be fine. I've tried saving the
source of this 'blank' page as HTML and opening it directly in my browser
(IE) but I still get a blank, however if I open this HTML page in FrontPage
and preview it, it's fine. Can anyone suggest anything?

RE: [PHP-WIN] checking file is mounted at the end of a url

[Mike]

If you know what the local file name and path are supposed to be, then you
should be able to use file_exists() for that task.

Subject: [PHP-WIN] checking file is mounted at the end of a url

Hi,

I'm building a site where among other things, the user (librarian) can see
if a file has been mounted on a local webserver for students to download. I
could provide a link so they can see if the file (pdf) can be downloaded,
but I'd rather just say 'yes' or 'no'.

This requires the page doing some sort of url test and reporting yes/no
depending on the code being sent back. I found something called linkchecker
at Hotscripts.com but when the file doesn't exist, it tries to download
itself instead.

The user will be accessing my server but will be checking something at their
location. I'm sure this must be possible - can anyone point me in the right
direction?

Cheers

George

RE: [PHP-WIN] checking file is mounted at the end of a url

[Mike]

In that case, try using fopen()
http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.fopen.php

You should be able to check the file handle and check for success or failure
and simply close it after the check is complete. 

Just have to have allow_url_fopen enabled in PHP to do so.

Mike,

Thanks, but it's not a local file. I host my service, but the file being
cked is (not) mounted on the users' own university website. So I thnk its
more a case or url-checking.

I've tested file_exists using the url and that doesn't work.

RE: [PHP-WIN] Re: running an exe

[Mike]

I would have to agree with the blurb below your message.

Unless those files are *huge*, there shouldn't be a problem copying them
locally and running them from there. If you're writing the .exe's, you may
even want to have a small one that gets downloaded, gets ran and it goes to
the web address and downloads the files it needs automatically. (depending
how fancy you want to get)

The other option is to make one big file that gets run and doesn't look for
other files. That'd do without the dependency.

The two factors to consider are these:

1) LAN speed. If the local intranet is all on the LAN, then any of those
options should be fine. 100baseT should be able to handle that. If some are
across the WAM, that'd be something to consider.

2) If you're only doing the install once, you might want to sacrifice speed
for reliability. Better to get it done right than to muck it up. But if this
will be a frequently ran process from the web location, speed may be
optimal.

This is only for use on local intranet!!

The problem is I want to install the software which comprises of 4 files
(setup.exe,setup.w02,setup.w03,setup.w04) from a link on the intrAnet.
It works fine on the local machine, but as soon as I try across the network,
it obviously wont find the second file to install. Ie. Access the link from
a remote machine, and install locally on that remote machine.

Is the best way to copy the files locally, or is there a better method?

RE: [PHP-WIN] GD Image Resizing on the fly.

[Mike]

This following bit of code will create a thumbnail of size $thumb_width x
$thumb_height based off of the initial file $file_location. Current GD
libraries don't work on GIFs, so that's not an option. You can use the
relative PNG functions in place of the jpeg functions, however.


// Create New Image
$full_img = imagecreatefromjpeg("$file_location");
$thumb_img = imagecreatetruecolor($thumb_width,$thumb_height);
 
imagecopyresized($thumb_img,$full_img,0,0,0,0,$thumb_width,$thumb_height,$wi
dth,$height);
imagedestroy($full_img);
imagejpeg($thumb_img,"$path_to_save\\$thumb_name");
imagedestroy($thumb_img);

print "";
// Might Need To Change Paths Pending How Script Is Called


The best thing to do, however, is to spend time reading all of the image
functions in the manual http://us2.php.net/manual/en/ref.image.php . There's
a lot in there and you can do some very impressive things with images if you
spend some time reading.

Subject: [PHP-WIN] GD Image Resizing on the fly.

Hello Everyone,

I am looking for a script or guidance in where to look to figure out how
to create a php script that resizes an image on the fly when it is called
with some variables.  To further detail, I have a shopping cart I am
creating for a client -- the client has the ability to upload images,
instead of creating a very complex script when he uploads the file, I
figured on the shopping cart page I could grab the original file and then
resize it to display a thumbnail based on 2 variables being sent W,H (Width,
Height).  The products are stored in a database along with the image path.
I need it to display in the middle of a page so a "header( 'Content-type:
image/jpeg' );" won't work for obvious reasons (header already sent).  Also
it will have to distinquish between Gif and Jpeg (not a problem, just
preg-match the extension).  I know the exact sizes that we want the shopping
cart images to be.  Anyone have any ideas?  If you need more information
just ask.

Thanks everyone -- this is such a great community!

RE: [PHP-WIN] image cache

[Mike]

Here's a little trick that works for me 

$cur_time = time();
print "";

Since each time you load the page the image name will be different (since
$cur_time will always change) the browser thinks the files are always
different since the name changes - and thus you force a reload of the image.

I do this on scripts that I make changes to images in PHP and need to see
the new image after the page reloads instead of seeing the pre-processed
image.

(I also do something similar with JavaScript for webcam images to prevent
caching)

RE: [PHP-WIN] Cannot load mysqli extension error or login prompt

[Mike]

Having your extensions dir in your path is less important than having your
php.ini file set up properly.

Take a look for this section:

; Directory in which the loadable extensions (modules) reside.
extension_dir = "C:\php\extensions"

This happens to be where my extensions are kept on my machine... and that
dir isn't in the PATH. I don't even having C:\php in my PATH and I can run
scripts and phpMyAdmin just fine. 

I'm not sure about question #2 - I just set up phpMyAdmin step-by-step and
it worked fine. It's just been a long time since I set it up.

RE: [PHP-WIN] CHMOD function issue.

I just want to make sure of something...

What OS is the machine this is happening on? This is the PHP-Windows list
and CHMOD really doesn't work on Windows - it's a Unix command. 

But if you're having problems on a unix system, check to see if there is a
umask value set that would be causing this.

This is going to require a lot more information from your end if you want

Show some code, explain your mail server setup, explain any errors you

Also, can you telnet to port 25 on localhost? Does anything (e.g., the mail
server) respond? What's the result of a HELO?

Please respond to the list.

You do realize that port 23 is the telnet port and not the SMTP port, right?
Why is your mail server responding on 23 and not 25?

What happens when you 

telnet localhost 25

And I'll repeat my request for some code...

The mail is a standar mailform. I jsut use IIS thought a mail server is in
place when Iinstalled it.

I get no errors. Telnet is working on port 23 "microsofts esmtp service

RE: [PHP-WIN] problem to open dir

When you set the $dir variable, try doing so with single quotes - the \
character is used to escape things and might be causing some problems.

If that makes no sense, it's because I'm falling asleep.

RE: [PHP-WIN] problem to open dir

[Mike]

Definitely use the is_dir() function as Rafael suggests. Also, make sure
that the user that PHP will be running as has permissions to read from that
location. I had some troubles a while back reading, writing and deleting
from some locations that the user IIS was running as did not have the proper
permissions in that location.

So if is_dir() returns true for you but you're still having those issues,
try explicitly adding the user that apache is running as to that directory
with some good permissions.

Oh - and about the slashes, only use the \\ when you're using double quotes
and only use \ with single quotes. Double quotes tells PHP to try to
evaulate the contents of the string (replace varables with their value,
interperate \[character] with their proper escaped value, etc.) while single
quotes tells PHP that "treat this value as exactly what's entered - don't
try to evaulate anything".

RE: [PHP-WIN] Timer in Safe Mode

[Mike]

In your php.ini file there's a directive called max_execution_time (in
seconds) - so you don't have to worry about any "forever-running" scripts -
PHP will kill them if they go on past that point anyhow.

Check out the phpinfo() output if you don't have direct access to your
php.ini file - this should be sufficient.

Looks like you may be using the wrong format for the mail() function.

bool mail ( string to, string subject, string message [, string
additional_headers [, string additional_parameters]] )

http://us4.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php

 Reference the form you should be passing params and notice that the subject

RE: [PHP-WIN] File upload maximum execution time error

[Mike]

Remember that when you're working in Windows that PHP has a timeout but so
doesn't IIS - so if you don't raise the IIS timeout then you run the risk of
hitting that limit as well.

I don't think it's difficult to find the timeout location in IIS, but I
don't have it installed on this machine to test right now.

RE: [PHP-WIN] Validation of Primary Key Datetime variable

[Mike]

I know that your form currently has just an input field that displays the
date in the format that you're interested in, but have you thought of using
a form SELECT object so that the user can only pull down the month, date and
year?

You'd have to do more processing in the form to "assemble" the date and to
"disassemble" it if you wanted to display it, but then you'd know without a
doubt that someone didn't put letters or a date that's out of your range.

Just a thought.

And if you rename the file to a .htm or .html it's returned without issue? 

Sounds like a mime type problem that IIS 6 introduces since it's so much
more "secure" than previous versions.

Go into IIS and check out the Web Service Extensions. Make sure that you've
added an item for PHP pages and that it's turned on. I believe that the
instructions talk about this, but it's pretty straight forward. But whenever
IIS 6 is saying that it can't return a page that you know for a fact is
there and other pages of a different type that are right next to it are
returned without issue it usually indicates this sort of mime or web
services problem.

For a quick test, you may wish to 'Allow' the "All unknown CGI Extensions"
and "All unknown ISAPI Extensions" just to check.

Good luck.

RE: [PHP-WIN] unlink problem

That bit of code really doesn't help us at all, but my guess is that the

To work around it give that user permissions to delete from that location.

It might also be helpful to give us the contents of del.php.

This actually has nothing to do with PHP but everything to do with your
webserver.

If you're running IIS, you can go to the properties of the website in

Yes and no.

PHP by itself can't do this. But you can easily set up a crontab
(http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=crontab&btnG=Search) or a windows
scheduled task pending on your server.

Then just call 

php page.php

to execute it. Most hosts let you set up at least a few crontabs as long as
they're not running every minute or two.

In all honesty, if I had a folder of scripts that I needed to execute at a
given time, I'd probably cheat and make one "control" script that was
responsible for calling all of the other scripts. 

So 

master_script.php

would look vaguely like:



That way as needs change you can just make changes to the one
master_script.php instead of having to edit your cron jobs or risk creating
stupidly large amounts of windows scheduled tasks.

Granted that this requires you to have scripts that all will run at the same
time and don't demand different execution times. The other things to keep in
mind is that the initial instance of PHP that runs that master_script.php
will need to be running for the entire length of time that it will take all
of the other files to execute - so be careful of PHP timeouts and modify
your php.ini file if needed/if safe.

The other option, of course, is to get more fancy and read the contents of a
file, build an array and then build a for loop that'd exec() each of the
array elements in turn. This would make the process a lot more hands-off
than the above-mentioned hard-coded master_script.php file (though a bit
longer to impliment and with the same inherent time-out issue as noted above
plus a bit more time for the script itself to execute).

Either way, there's a few options that may spawn some better ideas from
others on the list :)

I haven't tried it myself, but remember that you tend to run into some
lovely permissions issues if you're running the script via a web server. And
even if you're executing a script from the command line, I'd check to ensure
that the user you're running the script as has -explicit- full control on
that share (in both the sharing and security sections) and try it again.

This is all done through JavaScript/DHTML/CSS.

When you look at the Gmail site, view source and search for "Don't". You'll
come to the line that has the growing MB amount.

Over 2000 megabytes (and counting) 

So then if you search for "quota" you'll see a number of references to it
and other JavaScript functions that modify it in real time. 

I don't have any specific links to things, but there are tons of JavaScript
copy and paste type sites that give you code snippets to use. 

I didn't see anything like that on Neopets, but it could simply not work in
Firefox (and I admit I only spent about 30 seconds looking for it). 

But it's all JavaScript and such. 

Basic rule, if the page isn't refreshing at all, then it's probably all done
on the client-side. If it's done on the client-side, then it's not PHP since
that's all server-side. E.g., since nothing is being submitted to PHP, PHP
is completely ignorant to the fact that this is going on.

Hope that helps.

RE: [PHP-WIN] How to setup the mail server so that I can use mail() function

[Mike]

As a point of warning - be sure that you know what you're doing before you
simply enable an SMTP server that is externally routable. If you're not sure
how SMTP servers work then you could be creating an open relay that people
will quickly find and use to spam other people. 

When you turn on the IIS SMTP server it is initially enabled as an open
relay. Be sure you spend some time learning how to lock it down so that your
machine can't be used by spammers. And trust me, they'll probably find you
within a matter of hours if you do have an externally routable IP.

There's no way that this is written in PHP. This just isn't what PHP does.
And even if you were able to get PHP to work in this manner, the app would
likely be inefficient and slow. There's countless other languages better
suited to win32 programming than PHP.

When you look at the requirements, it lists .Net - which is a good
indication to what it's written in.

Unfortunately, the direction you'd be headed in is away from PHP.

I'm not sure, but I think I do have to run it through bash, because the 
program (fontforge) isn't  really made for Windows, so it uses Cygwin (some 
kind of Linux-like environment) to be able to run on Windows. This is why I 
have to (I think) use the Cygwin bash to be able to run it.


I've discovered something curious - the command doesn't not only work when I 
run it from the Run-dialog, but also when I run it from the PHP CLI! 
However, when I run exactly the same script with the PHP CGI it does NOT 
work. How is that possible? I hope you're able to help me, 'cause my poor 
brain isn't capable of taking it anymore ;)

Subject: Run a program


Hi!
I'd like to be able to run a program from a php-script. I've tried running
the following command, and it works when I run it from the Run-dialog:
D:\Cygwin\bin\bash.exe --login -i script.sh arg1 arg2
(the shell script runs another program (fontforge) which too runs a script)

However, when I try to run the same command from a php-script nothing
happens. Or rather, bash starts, but it doesn't do what it does when i run
the same command from the Run-dialog. I'm not even sure if I'm using the
right php-command and syntax. Could you please tell me how to do?
I'm on Win XP Home if that matters...
Thanks in advance! /Jacob

What you may want to do is set up a bit of parsing in your script so that
the script is passed the relative portion of the directory and the script
appends the parent folders to that. 

For example, say the user is browsing directory C:\users\tom\images\vacation
and you want to lock everything to the \users directory.

Have the script expect
http://localhost/script.php?path=users\tom\images\vacation instead of the
full path. You can then do some basic string parsing to determine the first
folder (in this case "users") and ensure that that matches a defined set of
acceptable folders.

So 

if($first_dir != "users"){
  echo "this is an invalid directory";
}

Etc.

Also, if someone tries to pass "C:\" into $path, it'd end up getting parsed
as "C:\C:\", which will obviously be an invalid directory.

This would allow the user from doing something like 

http://localhost/script.php?path=windows\system32 since "windows" isn't in
the approved folders list.

I'm sure there's a bunch of other ways of doing this, but it's the first
that popped into my head.

Is this really a worthwhile let alone useful reply at all for a listserv 
devoted to running PHP on the Windows platform?  He said he's doing it on a 
Windows machine, and he'd like a Windows solution for it.  Since he pointed 
out that he'd heard of it being done on Linux, he was of course aware that 
that was an option.  But the reason he posted the question to the 
php-windows list, I think, was because he wanted a Windows solution.

Unfortunately I have no idea, but I thought I should point this stuff out :)

Re: [PHP-WIN] passthru() on Win98 ??

[Mike Flynn]

Yes, this has been documented extensively on the web.  The fix is to put a 
pdf extension at the end of the url call to your script that is returning 
the pdf file.  You can use an arbitrary filename ending in .pdf, or you can 
use the actual filename of the .pdf file, which would be preferable so that 
if the user tries to save the .pdf file, the default filename is 
correct.  So what this means is that the script that is linking to your 
.pdf-returning script needs to know the filename/that it is a .pdf file, 
ahead of time.  So you want to do something like this:

Here's the PDF\n";
?>

Re: [PHP-WIN] passthru() on Win98 ??

[Mike Flynn]

Use a slash and then the filename.pdf.  So 
http://whatever/stuff.php?options/desired_filename.pdf would do it.  It's 
ok that you aren't linking to a real file, it doesn't matter.  Just the 
file that you want the .pdf document to be known as to the user's browser.

Remember that the php chmod call requires an octel number for the
permissions flag.  You can do this by putting a zero ('0') infront of the
parm.

ex. chmod("foofile",0777);

Subject: RE: [PHP-WIN] CHMOD


>i was reading a php book and it says on UNIX machines i must change the
CHMOD
>to 666 or 777, how do i do this? i never heard of the CHMOD. thanks.

Nobody wants in general to chomd a file 777!!!

Let me explain why:

chmod is an abbreviation of CHange MODe. The mode, or more specify the
access mode of the file is what is intended to be changed with chmod - so
don't change these flags unless you kmnow what you are doing!

Access right under unix is divided in three access groups. 1) Owner, 2)
Group and 3) Everybody. These groups has three flags for Read, Write and
Execute. These three flags could be set individually for each of the three
groups.

There is two ways to manipulate the Access flags under an unix environment:

a) absolute and b) relative.

The absolute method uses number to manipulates the access rights. The access
right for each group are represented by three bits like this: 111

The first bit is the access right for Read, the second for Write, and the
third for execute. These three bits fits into an octal number (range 0-7),
and the chomd actually uses octal numbers. The first octal number is for the
owner access, the second for group, and the first, you got it, everybody.

So if all bits are set to one for an access group, that access group will
have Read, Write and eXecute right, in short RWX access.

The most significant bit is the left on, and hence its value becomes 4, the
second bit has the value 2 and the first bit 1. If we add the value of these
three bits together, we get the number 7. Seven hence means that we will
give RWX access to a file. This might be oki for the owner, and even for the
group, but do we wants to do this for everybody?

In most case the answer to this question is: NO

For the access right RX we have the bit pattern 101 (= 4 + 0 + 1 = 5), which
is the most common value to set for the access groups Group and Everybody -
if they need to be able to execute the file. If execute rights is not
needed, it is sufficient to give the access right R only ( 100 = 4 + 0 + 0 =
4), so if you need to read only a file, the proper chmod should be: 744 and
if execute is needed to: 755. Actually you don't need the R flag set under
unix to execute a file, so for execute 711 will be sufficient. Setting the
access right to 711, means that the user can execute the file, but not
display its contents.

However. Access rights are set for directories two, and then they are
interpreted a little bit different. Access right X for a directory means
that a user can do a CD into it. To be able to display the contents of a
directory both RX are needed for a directory, since you both need to be able
to access it and read it.

X access for a directory could be used as a
"pass-through-but-not-display-content-of" directory. Could be useful if you
don't want everybody to know how the tree structure really looks like.


For more information about chmod check the online page by typing '% man
chmod'

Re: [PHP-WIN] passthru() on Win98 ??

[Mike Flynn]

It goes into a link to whatever PHP file you're using to return the 
contents of the .PDF.  It would work in the address field in the browser, 
too.  I don't see why you're typing http://localhost/test.php/whatever.pdf 
into the address field since that isn't the URL I told you to use.  I said:

http://whatever/stuff.php?options/desired_filename.pdf

As you can see, instead of stuff.php put the name of the php file that has 
your code to return the binary contents of the .pdf file.  You can follow 
it with whatever optional parameters you want in the query string (i/e 
after the '?' question mark), either way, make sure at the very end of the 
address is a slash '/' followed by the desired filename you want to use, 
ending in .pdf.

RE: [PHP-WIN] mail() function EXTREMELY slow

I have to agree.  I am using php mail() on my local net without any
problems.  The only thing I am doing differently is using a LINUX box for my
mail server.  My php mail() calls happen almost instantaneously.

Hand on your heart: Do you really believe that this is due to a slowness in
the mail() function of php?

It might, and is probably, related to your own network. For example: have
you check the ICMP traffic, to see if your network traffic is routed
correctly? You might have a router in the routing list that is a "wacko"
router, and that might causes sporadic network hangs, and disconnection's.

RE: [PHP-WIN] Output of PHP ist truncated

[Mike Eynon]

I have also seen this happen.  After playing with a few things... I finally
got the problem to go away by adding in a bunch of line feeds.  The problem
I saw seemed to be a buffering problem of some kind.  When I made sure that
the html being generated had line lengths of no more than 120 chars in
width, everything just started working.

As well, this seems to be a Win32 thing only.  I did not have this problem
in Linux running the exact same script.

Re: [PHP-WIN] sessions Problem Followup concerning IE6

[Mike Flynn]

Sessions won't depend on the browser version.  If you are using cookies for 
the sessions, it will just depend on whether their browser has cookies 
blocked or not.  If you are not using cookies, and have the "transparent 
SID" option turned on in the PHP.INI file, then the ?SID=xxx will get 
appended onto links on the server-side before it ever even gets to the 
user's browser, so the browser version will have nothing to do with whether 
the SID gets added to the url or not.  The SID will only get added 
automatically if you have the "transparent SID" option turned on in the 
php.ini file.

Also, the SID won't get added for things like JavaScript redirects, META 
'refresh' tag redirects, header('Location: ...') redirects and all forms, 
as far as I know, so you'll have to add it manually for these.

Hope that helps.

[PHP-WIN] XSLT encoding error

[Mike Eynon]

Howdy all.

I am trying to use the new XSLT translation stuff in 4.1.1 with Win2k and
IIS running ISAPI.

When I try to run even the simplest example, I get the following error:

I have tried specifying the encoding in both the XML and XSL files, and even
tried both "UTF-8" and "ISO-8859-1".

Has anyone seen this?  I am pretty much stuck and in need of at least a
suggestion.

Re: [PHP-WIN] new window with set size via php ?

[Mike Flynn]

Argh, how many times must it be reiterated that PHP is a *SERVER SIDE 
PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE*.  What this means is that by itself it cannot do 
ANYTHING on the client's side ONCE THE PAGE HAS LOADED.  You can have PHP 
generate some JavaScript and dHTML to do such things, but PHP by itself 
only executes BEFORE the user gets the page.  NOT on the user's computer.

As far as I know, all client-side manipulations must be done via a script, 
whose support is entirely dependent on the user's browser.  JavaScript is 
of course the most prevalent.

It's always a good idea to link some link to a target window even if you're 
using a javascript popup script.  That way, if the user isn't using 
javascript the window will pop open.  The way to do this and not have TWO 
windows pop up is something like the following:
<!--//
   var winPage;
   function popPage(id) {
 winPage = window.open('thepage.php?id='+id, 'winPage', '...params...');
 winPage.window.focus();
   }
//-->
...
link

You see the return false; after the call to pop open the new window.  That 
way it gives a priority to using javascript to pop open the new window.  If 
the user has javascript turned on and it pops open the new window, then by 
returning false it ignores the href=".." part of the link.  If the user 
doesn't have javascript then the link will open manually via the href and 
target parts into another window.  If you didn't have the return false 
after the javascript, then the window would open twice: once by the 
javascript, once by the normal href= property.

That's how I do all my javascript window poppers, just to be safe.

So, returning to your question, I don't think it's possible at all to 
control where a new window opens, how big it is, and what properties 
are/aren't displayed via a normal  link.  Only in JavaScript.

However, what you CAN do is dynamically generate these kinds of properties 
when the page is generated for each link, if, say, you wanted each popup to 
have a different size/etc for each individual link.  Something like this:

<!--//
   var winPage;
   function popPage(id, width, height) {
 winPage = window.open('thepage.php?id='+id, 'winPage', 
'width='+width',height='+height+',...');
 winPage.window.focus();
   }
//-->
link\n";
   }
?>

Re: [PHP-WIN] Include ()

[Mike Flynn]

Check your PHP.INI file for settings related to automatic escaping of 
characters.  And, uh, you say it's a forward slash like '/', but are you 
sure they aren't backslashes like '\'?  I've never heard of forward slashes 
getting added.  Are you positive that the text files don't have the 
slashes?  If not, then it has something to do with magic quotes, perhaps 
magic_quotes_runtime.

Should there be a session_start() here?  You have session.auto_start set to 
0 in your PHP.INI, so I'm not sure if this will actually start the session.

You don't register the variable again once you've started the session.  You 
can get rid of the 'session_register("Namn");' here.

RE: [PHP-WIN] issue with PHP_XSLT?

[Mike Eynon]

Not sure if this will help you or not, but here are a few words of wisdom
that helped me get past problems in the Sablotron extension.

If you wish to use files that are not in your php root, you have to add the
string: "file://" before each of your filenames.  This will keep Sablotron
happy in both LINUX and Windows.

It sounds to me like you have a diffirent problem than the one that I had on
my

the
code and comments on this page:

http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=14965

The page has details on the proper format for paths to pass to the
processor and code to read files and pass their content to the processor
as arguments.

Re: [PHP-WIN] Is there anyway to save a file into Mysql database

[Mike Flynn]

Yes, you can store "files" in a MySQL database.  You store them in some 
type of BLOB field, and just insert the binary data right into it.  One 
thing to watch out for is slashes.  I forget if you need to addslashes 
before putting the data into the database, but I think you need to 
stripslashes after retrieving it, so it's not corrupt.  I could tell you 
for sure but I don't have any of my code in front of me right now :)

So basically you can create a table for files like this:
tblFiles:
  int intFileID (for primary key purposes)
  tinytext strFileFilename (you'll probably want this)
  tinytext strFileType (if you're storing different kinds of file formats, 
you'll need this or some other way to identify the file {MIME} type)
  int intFileSize (optional)
  tinytext strFileDescription (optional)
  mediumblob blbFileData

Then you can store the file binary data into the blbFileData field and 
retrieve it later.  You can do this for any file formats.. including 
images.  There are many tutorials showing how to do this with images on the 
web.

Re: [PHP-WIN] Parse error when using Javascript & php?

[Mike Flynn]

Anything outside of the  tags doesn't affect PHP one way or the 
other, as long as it doesn't contain any of the strings like  etc 
that turn PHP parsing on and off.  So I don't think the JavaScript or 
IFrames would affect it.

RE: [PHP-WIN] Parse error when using Javascript & php?

[Mike Flynn]

IFrames don't use the 'value' property, so your second approach was right 
-- putting the content between the iframe tags.  Now, do you know that 
IFrames are only supported by Internet Explorer and not Netscape 
Navigator?  They are used on almost *no* sites.. so you may want to 
consider that before using them in your own.  They aren't an accepted standard.

At any rate, putting , or more preferably, , between the  and  tags will work, assuming you 
are using a browser that supports them.

Have you tried looking at the source code that is generated by the 
page?  That is something everyone should probably do before posting a 
question to the list.

Re: [PHP-WIN] Passing Javascript Variables to PHP

[Mike Flynn]

I have answered variations on this question at least 3 times.  Please check 
the archives.  JavaScript is client-side, PHP is server-side.  The only way 
to go from JavaScript to PHP (in that direction) is by going to a new page 
-- 1. Reloading the current page, with the relevant data in the query 
string; 2. Loading a new page, with the relevant data in the query string; 
3. Submitting a form, with the relevant data in hidden or other kinds of 
fields.

If you mean remove them automatically, then I don't think there would be 
any way to do this other than setting the From: and Reply-To: headers to 
the address you want outgoing messages bounced to, then having PHP check 
that e-mail account's e-mail and detect bounced ones by parsing the 
messages.  That, or running your own mail server software.

If you mean manually, then you could just set the From: and Reply-To: 
headers to your e-mail address and all bounces would come back to that.

Re: [PHP-WIN] New to PHP Need Help

[Mike Flynn]

mysql_fetch_row() returns an associative array containing all columns 
retrieved from the database.  You can't echo an array directly.  In the 
associative array, the keys are the column names from the table, the values 
are the values you retrieved in that row.

So you could do this to see what you have:

...all the same code...
$Location_Info = mysql_fetch_row($result);
foreach($Location_Info as $key => $value) {
   echo "$key: $value\n";
}

That would display the row.  There's tons of tutorials on basic PHP<->MySQL 
stuff like this out on the web.  I recommend checking webmonkey.com, 
zend.com, phpbuilder.com, devshed.com.

Also, it's not great etiquette to send your message to multiple listservs 
at once.

RE: [PHP-WIN] update?'

[Mike Flynn]

I doubt there is any way to do this without using an intermediate step.  I 
would grab all the data you need from whichever tables you are grabbing 
from, into a temporary array in PHP, including whatever keys you are using 
to place them into the other table where they are being placed.  Then go 
back through that array, running one or more UPDATE query for each row, 
putting the data where it belongs.

Yup, good point.  Here's the modified code.. not using fread() though.  For 
non-binary data I think this should work ok though.

That will round down to 2 decimal places.  To round to the nearest 2 
decimal places, to what Ross said but instead of getting the absolute 
value, just round it normally.

Re: [PHP-WIN] mail() with attachments

[Mike Flynn]

Hmm?  The article explains exactly how to do it.  You can make a multipart 
MIME e-mail where the first part is the message, and the 2nd part is the 
file attachment (and more parts for additional files).  The file data is 
encoded using base64 encoding in this example.  You just need to create the 
message body as it shows in the tutorial and then use PHP's mail() function 
to send it.

RE: [PHP-WIN] Rounding

[Mike Flynn]

Well, I suppose rounding by the dictionary's definition can mean any kind 
of approximation to a number of less significant digits, so I see your 
point.  But by the popular vernacular and by the default precision for any 
programming language's "round" function that I've encountered (including 
PHP's), the default precision is to round to the nearest integer.  Thus, by 
both of these modest leaps of assumption, normal rounding to me is rounding 
to the nearest integer.

If it was by the rule we've settled on below, then if you have 2, then the 
number you previously had was >=1.5 and < 2.5. :)

1.5 is the only special case.

As far as I know, .5 always gets rounded up, not down.  In school we were 
taught, "Four to the floor, Five to the sky". :)

I guess.  The dictionary defines normal, though, as "Conforming with, 
adhering to, or constituting a norm, standard, pattern, level, or type; 
typical".  So if there is a standard, typical, etc. way that rounding is 
done, then you can certainly make a case that there is a normal kind of 
rounding.  In ALL of my experiences, rounding has been defined as going to 
the nearest integer, and rounding UP on .5.  And, like I said, all 
programming languages I have encountered perform a standard rounding the 
same way.  That's why we as societies settle on norms -- so we can 
communicate without having to resort to academic analyses of every term we 
use. :)  There's no need to feel the need to one-up everything I say. :)

I recommend using mysql_error() to see what the problem is.  I/e:

mysql_connect('nik', '', '') or

mysql_select_db_('guestbook') or
   die('Could not select: '.mysql_error());

Something like that..
