The only other way I can think of to do it would be: $lastdot= strrpos($ipaddress, "."); $network= substr($ipaddress, 0, $lastdot); Or even $network= substr( $ipaddress, 0, strrpos ($ipaddress, ".") ); which would displense with the arrays. chris.

Other multibyte character-sets are available, see http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Localisation.html PHP also supports UTF-8. For multibyte character support, see the mbstring extension: http://us3.php.net/mbstring This is just basic research I've been doing into making sure that the apps I design can handle international deployment-- I have yet to actually deal with real world data in anything other than ISO-8859-1. And your client probably has a specific character-set they want to support, which might make it easier to find a solution. chris.

One is GB2312 system, another is Big5 system. GB2312 is mainly used by MainLand China, Big5 is mainly used by Chinese overseas, Taiwan, Hongkong. so you need to make decision where is your marketplace and which one is suitable, or you want to handle them all. But I guess you need both, since more more Mainland Chinese people are come to aboard, it will be very soon to become the majority of Chinese overseas. IE can handle both Chinese character sets, for Netscape you may need a third party encoding software to handle the display, but those are free. Here is one you may use: http://www.njstar.com . Msql database has no problem to handle chinese Character. There are two ways to handle those two Chinese Character sets. 1)Dynamic interface handling, you may need a convert program to convert those Char sets each other, there are some programs are free to download, but I don't know where. Usually it is perl or c++ program. 2)Static web contents. This is the easy one, you can prepare two sets of your web contents, and disply them seperately. So totally will be three sets of them, 2 Chinese and 1 English. There is the way OSCommerce handles multiple languages. Hope it may help little bit!

There are mainly two sets of Chinese characters. One is GB2312 system, another is Big5 system. GB2312 is mainly used by MainLand China, Big5 is mainly used by Chinese overseas, Taiwan, Hongkong. so you need to make decision where is your marketplace and which one is suitable, or you want to handle them all. But I guess you need both, since more more Mainland Chinese people are come to aboard, it will be very soon to become the majority of Chinese overseas. IE can handle both Chinese character sets, for Netscape you may need a third party encoding software to handle the display, but those are free. Here is one you may use: http://www.njstar.com . Msql database has no problem to handle chinese Character. There are two ways to handle those two Chinese Character sets. 1)Dynamic interface handling, you may need a convert program to convert those Char sets each other, there are some programs are free to download, but I don't know where. Usually it is perl or c++ program. 2)Static web contents. This is the easy one, you can prepare two sets of your web contents, and disply them seperately. So totally will be three sets of them, 2 Chinese and 1 English. There is the way OSCommerce handles multiple languages. Hope it may help little bit!

If you've installed from RPM and/or source/binary packages from mysql.com you might be running multiple instances. I think that MySQL generally installs to /usr/* from RPM and /usr/local/ from binary/source. Look for a /etc/init.d/mysql.server or similar file in /usr/local/etc. Then, something like mysql.server stop should shut it down, and using the appropiate my.cnf (which should also be in /etc) you could disable certain aspects of it (like disable the TCP listener) and turn on extensive logging, pointing to a know location.

This doesn't sound good. Hmm. Does MySQL enter this neverending spin state just when it starts, or only after a query is run against it? Perhaps just a bad query somewhere?

It *could* be due to some kind of badness in my web site, since I made the redesign live late last week, but you'd figure I would have caught that before now. As far as I remember (and I'll get the fine-toothed comb out soon), everything's in a require_once. It might be a bad query, but off the top of my head I can't think of what that would be. > Hmm.

Does I think there may be some issues with 9i. Maybe this thread is useful: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-dev&m=105401894714175&w=2 > enybody have the idea what's going on?

I haven't worked with 9i yet, but I think it's generally recommended to compile PHP --enable-sigchild. Also, if you're using persistent connections, use non-persistent connections and see if that helps at all.

We installed PHP 4.3.1 (with no extentions) on it with no problems, and now I need to load the php_oic8.dll extention. I have done this on other windows machines without a problem, but this one seems to be a bit different. I installed the oracle 8.1.7 client on the machine, uncommented out the extention in the php.ini file, and set the extention directory path. Now if a page is called that contains one of the oci8 functions, it just displays a blank white page. After some reasearch, I have realized that the webserver is using the 9i OCI.dll that is associated with the 9iAS's %ORACLE_HOME% .

Hmm, looks ok.

SecID is not the same as secId primeId is not the same as primeID If you retyped this rather than cutting/pasting your code, you just proved why it's important to use the actual code. If you did use the actual code here, did you mistype the cases of field names in your query? If those are the actual field name cases in the table structures, you really should make your life easier in the long run and come up with a field naming convention. --Dan -- FREE scripts that make web and database programming easier http://www.analysisandsolutions.com/software/ T H E A N A L Y S I S A N D S O L U T I O N S C O M P A N Y 4015 7th Ave #4AJ, Brooklyn NY v: 718-854-0335 f: 718-854-0409 From markert at optonline.net Wed Jun 4 16:07:23 2003 From: markert at optonline.net (John W.

There are a few alternatives, but IMO, CPanel is the best of all evils. It is not perfect, nor cheap, but it does a better job at shared hosting than everything else I've used (from a admin and end-user perspective). Some of the others off the top of my head: web://cp (Open Source) http://webcp.can-host.com/ Webmin (Open Source) http://www.webmin.com/ Plesk (Commercial) http://www.plesk.com/ H-Sphere (Commercial) http://www.psoft.net/ Ensim (Commercial) http://www.ensim.com/ As far as roll-your-own, the general idea is that you are automating system-administration tasks with a web-based GUI, so I'd imagine books like "Perl for System Administration" (O'Reilly) would be of use. -- Andrew Yochum Digital Pulp, Inc. 212.679.0676x255 andrew at digitalpulp.com From emm at scriptdigital.com Thu Jun 5 12:27:52 2003 From: emm at scriptdigital.com (Emmanuel.

I have never seen it >before. Is it documented anywhere? Kushner, I had never used the syntax prior to my current job, but it is apparently a long standing spec in HTTP 1.0 and HTTP 1.1. My experience is limited in its use and quirks, but it seems to work for the browsers we support: IE 5+, Mozilla, Netscape 4-7 (View source of http://www.ibm.com/ to see how it's implemented) Essentially what this syntax allows you to do is specfiy a an absolute path to a resource on a different hostname, but force the protocol to remain the same. So, if your images are hosted on a separate server, you could link to them securely from your standard file web server like so: On http://server.ibm.com/index.jsp: img src="//images.ibm.com/some.gif" img src="//img/some.gif" Following is some cryptic info on the spec, but which seems to prove that it's been around a while: http://web.access.net.au/felixadv/files/output/book/x3288.html http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2068/rfc2068.txt 3.2.1 General Syntax URIs in HTTP can be represented in absolute form or relative to some known base URI, depending upon the context of their use. The two forms are differentiated by the fact that absolute URIs always begin with a scheme name followed by a colon. URI = ( absoluteURI | relativeURI ) [ "#" fragment ] absoluteURI = scheme ":" *( uchar | reserved ) relativeURI = net_path | abs_path | rel_path net_path = "//" net_loc [ abs_path ] abs_path = "/" rel_path rel_path = [ path ] [ ";" params ] [ "?" query ] path = fsegment *( "/" segment ) fsegment = 1*pchar segment = *pchar params = param *( ";" param ) param = *( pchar | "/" ) _________________________________________________________________ The new MSN 8: smart spam protection and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail From jsiegel1 at optonline.net Fri Jun 6 10:55:02 2003 From: jsiegel1 at optonline.net (Jeff) Date: Fri, 06 Jun 2003 10:55:02 -0400 Subject: [nycphp-talk] Secure/insecure items In-Reply-To: <200306061411.h56EAuXl088310@parsec.nyphp.org> Message-ID: <002301c32c3b$9e2b5b40$6501a8c0@EZDSDELL> It's more than likely the being caused by *all* of the items mentioned - stylesheets, images, javascript.

For example, if you use the same page for general users but also change protocol when registered users log in, you avoid the pitfalls of having to hard code "https" or "http" in the links. _________________________________________________________________ Tired of spam?

Message-ID: <006601c32c73$c42ef9e0$6501a8c0@EZDSDELL> Not sure how to handle this one. I have a simple function using crypt for storing passwords: function EncryptString($strToEncrypt){ $tmp = crypt(trim($strToEncrypt),"MYSALT"); //One way encryption return $tmp; } When a user creates a new password it returns one value. When a user tries to log in (and I call this function again) it returns a different value yet...if I edit the user's record using one of my forms, THEN everything works fine (that is, then the user can log in). What seems to be happening is that when adding a new record crypt returns a different value than when I'm editing that record. This doesn't really make sense. It's probably a code issue but I can't see any differences in the way I'm calling the function. When it encodes the password '12345' when adding the record it generates "WOjDi2e3GGR4U" But when I test the login function it generates "WOxvmVFSIQUTU" In both cases I'm using this to call the function: $tmpPwd = EncryptString($_POST['DU_sPwd']); Any clues?

More fool proof. You might mistakenly use different salts. Or you might use different algorithm types. Also, moving to different computer can change the algorithm, thus altering output. Then, only the first eight characters of input are used, throwing away the value of long passwords. Finally, it seems due to the length of the output, md5 is better at producing unique results.

Your problem is that pollID and 2 are each elements of your list. If you want them to be treated as one element, you need to quote them. lsearch only searches individual elements. If you want to find the particular element of the list that precedes the numeral "2", you'll have to loop over the elements. Perhaps you would be better off quoting the two strings to create one element, e.g. "pollID 2", when you create the list, instead of when you search it.

How do I do that > too? I'm not sure what you mean. If you mean you want to create a list where the same element will somehow act both as one element made up of two pieces and also will sometimes act as two separate elements, you can't do that. If you want to put in three elements, you can do that. For example, here's the Tcl to create a list with three such elements: set pollID 15 set lstVar [list "pollID $pollID" pollID $pollID] Now you have a list of three elements. The first one is: pollID 15 The second one is: pollID The third one is: 15 I think this is what you are talking about because, as you asked you have the elements "joined together" and "broken apart within the same list". If you are saying you need a reliable way to split the elements *after* you read them out of the list, you can do it like this: set pollID 15 set lstVar [list thing1 thing2 "something borrowed" "something blue" "pollID $pollID"] set numPollid [lsearch $lstVar "pollID $pollID"] set lstPieces [split [lindex $lstVar $numPollid] { }] In this example, first I created a list with the following five strings as its elements: thing1 thing2 something borrowed something blue pollID 15 Then I found the index of the pollid entry, extracted that entry and split it up on its internal space using the "split" command. You now have a list variable, called lstPieces, that contains the split up pieces of the "pollID 15" element. It contains two elements, numbered 0 and 1. Element # 0 of this small list is the string "pollID" and element # 1 is the number 15. We're sort of getting into the nitty-gritty of introductory Tcl here, so if this is bugging anyone, just drop me a line and I'll refrain from further off-topic emails via the list.

Braces are technically the sub-list operator. ------------- % set list {{id 1} {pollID 1} {question {How are you?}} {answerID 1} {answer {I'm fine, thanx}} } {id 1} {pollID 1} {question {How are you?}} {answerID 1} {answer {I'm fine, thanx}} % lindex $list 0 id 1 % lindex $list 1 pollID 1 % lindex [lindex $list 1] 1 1 % lrange $list 0 1 {id 1} {pollID 1} % lindex [lrange $list 0 1] 0 id 1 ------------- Does that answer your question? > Thanx > Phil > > Original Message: > ----------------- > From: james at surgam.net > Date: Sat, 7 Jun 2003 14:14:35 -0400 > To: talk at nyphp.org > Subject: Re: [nycphp-talk] Any PHP users here also know TCL? > > > > > "soazine at pop.erols.com" says: > > I could use a hand with a TCL-related problem I'm having on my site! > > > > I have a list as follows: > > > > id 1 pollID 1 question {How are you?} answerID 1 answer {I'm fine, > > thanx} > > id 2 pollID 1 question {How are you?} answerID 2 answer {OK} id 3 > > pollID 1 > > question {How are you?} answerID 3 answer {Leave me alone, life > > sucks!} id > > 4 pollID 2 question {Do you think there should be a TCL > > certification exam > > in Brainbench?} answerID 1 answer {Yes} id 5 pollID 2 question {Do > > you > > think there should be a TCL certification exam in Brainbench?} > > answerID 2 > > answer {No} > > > > > > I am going to edit this list by doing a change to a part of the > > question/answer set in, say, pollID 2.

The one thing to remember about doing that is that braces don't do variable expansion, so in the case where the value of variable $pollID is 2, {pollID $pollID} expands to a string "pollID $pollID", whereas "pollID $pollID" expands to "pollID 2". I noticed that in some cases Phil was relying on variable expansion.

Without fully understanding what you're trying to do, it seems you're off track storing all this stuff in one very multidimensional array.

On a somewhat similar note, I had begun work on an extension to form/send/recv raw packets, but it's been on the back burner for some time. I guess it could be used to wreak havoc on an IDS :) At work I'm just completing a couple ncurses apps in PHP - were you considering something console based, or strictly web related?

You may try something like: array_multisort($row['empname']); To do exactly what you want, I'd highly recommend using a database - SQL's ORDER BY is great, and probably faster in the long run :) Otherwise, consider breaking the multidimensional array into montholithic arrays, which may make them easier to work with, including use in array_multisort(). Typically, hugely multidimensional arrays bring more confusion than anything else :) H From chris at psydeshow.org Tue Jun 10 09:24:06 2003 From: chris at psydeshow.org (Chris Snyder) Date: Tue, 10 Jun 2003 09:24:06 -0400 Subject: [nycphp-talk] latest vulnerabilities...

The fact that most PHP code operates in a hostile environment (the internet) compounds the perception problem. Look at it this way-- peer review has just upgraded security on seven different PHP projects! Maybe NYPHP should have review team that pokes at member-submitted apps and checks for things like unescaped UIDs from cookies and cross-site-scripting opportunities.

Sure, you can filter "INSERT" and "DELETE FROM" out of requests, but if the application is susecptible to that type of thing anyway, there's more trouble than mod_security can fix. Just seems like a patchy way of doing things (akin to mod_rewrite).

If Cygwin has a coherent implementation of ncurses, that is. > I have not seen sample PHP/ncurses apps but just from reading > http://www.zend.com/manual/ref.ncurses.php and it stressing to use the > extension @ ur own risk have you had any problems? (major ones I mean) Honestly, I ditched the bundled ncurses extension and wrote my own. After examining it, I realized that the functions were returning all sorts of different types, and there was just general inconsistency. Plus, there was a lot of stuff I didn't need (pads,menus,etc) that just added complexitity. After the rewrite, I wrapped it in a class so I can do stuff like $mywindow = new Window('Title'); Hey, just like MFC! :) I'm going to be submitting this stuff to PECL at some point. All that said, I don't think there is anything inherently unstable about the provided ncurses library. It was just kind of messy.

But don't they do different things? The first case returns a Related object, while the second associates $object with an object of class Related. I suppose, depending on how the classes operate internally, the result could be the same, but from just reading the snippet of code, my procedural brain would assume something slightly different is happening between the two :) Oddly enough, I've been working a lot with objects, and have contemplated similar things.

Even though variables_order is shown as PHP_INI_ALL (http://us3.php.net/ini_set) it might be settable only in php.ini/httpd.conf/.htaccess. See if that makes a difference.

I decided to go with my gut and develop $related->create(&$object) because I figure that makes the class more portable. With a little more thought it made sense. In this case, Objects don't care how to create Relateds-- it's really none of their business. :-) Thanks Hans!

Supposedly the mktime function will return a UNIX timestamp while factoring in the timezone offset on the host machine (I assume this because there is a gmmktime function as well for passing GMT dates). Anyways, I have written a function that calculates trade dates. I am currently reproducing the function in VB, and I noticed that the timestamp returned by PHP's mktime function is 5 hours ahead of the timestamp returned in VB. The other thing is that I then use the PHP date function to create a formatted date using the UNIX timestamp returned by mktime. This date seems to be correct, and the function is working as designed. So my second question is: If mktime is not factoring the time zone offset on my host, is the date function compensating for it and returning the correct trade date? Anyone have any insight? Thanks! ============================== Here's some code: PHP sample: $month = 12; $day = 26; $year = 2003; $hours = 17; $minutes = 0; $secval = mktime(intval($hours),intval($minutes),0,intval($month),intval($day),intval( $year)); PRINT $secval; //----->(Returns 1072476000) ============================== VB sample month = 12 day = 26 year = 2003 hours = 17 minutes = 0 strDateFormat = month & "/" & day & "/" & year & " " & hours & ":" & minutes secval = DateDiff("s", "1/1/1970", strDateFormat) MsgBox secval '----->(Returns 1072458000) **************************************************************************** Please do not transmit orders and/or instructions regarding a UBS Financial Services Inc. or UBS International Inc. account by email.

VB is probably in the wrong here, and returns a timestamp that is offset by your timezone. Nevertheless, VB's version of the date() function probably expects this behavior, and so usually there aren't any problems.

That's the great thing about UNIX timestamps - they aren't timezone specific, and so timezone adjustments are done only when creating a human readable date and time. Plus, heck, VB is on Windows, how could you expect it to handle UNIX timestamps correctly :) Just out of curiosity, is PHP running on Windows or a UNIX flavor during these tests?

On a minor point, you don't need the $key, since you don't really care about the key. You'd just need this: foreach (array('.', '_') as $val) { But, your approach is flawed, since you reassign the output to $safeEmail from $email, $safeEmail will only have the replacements for the last element in the input array. You'd need to use $email as both input and output for this approach to work. Finally, a simpler way to do what you're trying to do is via strtr(). For efficiency sake, I reused $email. $repl = array( '.' => '%46', '_' => '%95' ); $email = strtr($email, $repl); --Dan -- FREE scripts that make web and database programming easier http://www.analysisandsolutions.com/software/ T H E A N A L Y S I S A N D S O L U T I O N S C O M P A N Y 4015 7th Ave #4AJ, Brooklyn NY v: 718-854-0335 f: 718-854-0409 From tech_learner at yahoo.com Thu Jun 12 02:44:43 2003 From: tech_learner at yahoo.com (Tracy) Date: Wed, 11 Jun 2003 23:44:43 -0700 (PDT) Subject: [nycphp-talk] images into database In-Reply-To: <200306120218.h5C2HOc7094722@parsec.nyphp.org> Message-ID: <20030612064443.65192.qmail@web14302.mail.yahoo.com> Hi, u;d need to modify some lines accordingly. this was enough for my work...

//-------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------- Second file that you need: select_file.php (I use it as a pop-up window) //-------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------- Upload your poictures

SELECT FILE
//-------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------- So here is how it works: You pass the position on a form of the text input where you are going to load the image (the select_file.php will fill the form in that position with the name of the uploaded file). You can have a button next to the text input saying "Send file...", this should have an onClick event that would open the select_file.php window. Remember to pass the position of the picture input text where you want the name of the picture to be filled. You can look at how this works in : http://www.fotosprivadas.com/formulario.php It is spanish sorry, but you can see the fundamentals of this. Once you upload the files, you can save the data on your database when you submit your form.

The only nagging doubt I have is whether a serialized variable stored in flat file format is going to incur a major performance hit if it happens to be, say, an enormous associative array. But then, that's another issue entirely--and the performance can't really be any worse than we're currently getting from thousands of database calls... Thanks again, Peter --- "John W.

Hello all-- We have multiple users accessing a big tree of data that's very expensive to calculate each time. Ideally, it would be great to have the tree drawn once and then have all the other users access it as though it were a global SESSION variable visible to all users. First of all, is there such a thing as a SESSION variable that's visible to all? And then, to send the pie even further into the sky, is there a way to have a SESSION variable that's held in RAM instead of written to a flat file?

Hmmm... > First of all, is there such a thing as a SESSION variable that's > visible to all? Sure; application variables, as mentioned. But the reason I say 'Hmmm' is because application variables, regardless of how they are stored/implemented, probably aren't the best way to go for large amounts of data. If you're dealing with a big tree of data, and the issue is the expense of calculating it for every request, I'd very much prefer using it in a cooked format. For instance, every 1000 hits (or time based, doesn't matter) a special query is run that cooks the raw data (the large set) into a calculated, more manageable form. This cooked form is then stored in an optimized database schema, or even HEAP tables, for example, if you're really worried. Some call it a data mart, others data mining, and still other's just logical architecture. We do it here on a nightly basis for much of our data, and then several times a day for more volitale items. > And then, to send the pie even further into the sky, is there a way to > have a SESSION variable that's held in RAM instead of written to a flat > file? (Yes, I'm getting greedy in terms of speeding things up.) Sure. This, again, is essentially an application variable (in other languages, they are stored in RAM by default). If you wanted true SESSION variables (per user) to be stored in RAM, then you can use PHP's session_handler functions. For application scope, shared memory is always fun: http://phpnow.net/src/ I haven't gotten around to finishing it yet, but you're welcome to use whatever. Also, don't forget the kernel will cache files for you, which is unbeatable as far as performance (especially with small amounts of data). Or, implement application variables via MySQL - persistent connections, indexed HEAP tables, and queries based on integers is damn hard to beat.

Plus you'll know that you can get new versions within minutes of their release, rather than waiting for the packages to hit the RH Network. Your standard Red Hat system might not have all of the tools and development libraries required to compile from source. This can be frustrating. If you didn't install the Development Tools along with the system, and you're not short on disk space, you might want to stop and upgade before you try to build anything. Keep the CDs handy for the odd thing you might need to add as you go along. One other note, I'm not sure if it still holds, but the general consensus around NYPHP has been to use Apache 1.3.27 rather than Apache 2.x. Latest isn't always greatest. BTW, I'm running AMP on a RH8 box, and it works great. Please don't hesitate to ask when you run up against RH's sometimes bizarre administration practices. chris.

There are certainly stability/sanity issues with apache 2.x (IMHO anyway). I've had success compiling everything from source, but wouldn't want to do it again. > So here's the question (thanx for your patience): what do you experienced > and wise folks recommend as a general strategy for this? Upgrade PHP or > downgrade Apache? Build either or both from source, or get RPMs somewhere? If you want the full ecstasy of AMP, I'd downgrade Apache to 1.3, upgrade PHP to the latest, and install mysql.com's binary package of 4.0.13. Personally, I always like to compile everything from source (except MySQL) but if you can find the proper RPMs then it'd probably work just as well. That said, your specific problem is related to the versions so much as it is the RPM packages. For whatever reason, the PHP package doesn't seem to be loading the MySQL extension. Check your php.ini to ensure that it's getting loaded somewhere (although I have no idea why RH wouldn't just compile it in staticly).

If you're thinking about a unique index on multiple columns, yes you can do that, and indeed there are situations where you do. You might not need any primary key in that case. I'll give you an example. I have a table called 'interpreter' (of languages) and a table called 'language'. Some interpreters have multiple working languages; lots of languages are spoken by more than one interpreter. You resolve the many-to-many relationship with a third table called interpreter_language which looks something like this (English is asumed in this particular application, so I only one the 'foreign' language to store each interpreters' language pair). Note the unique key: CREATE TABLE interpreter_language ( interpreter_id smallint(5) unsigned NOT NULL default '0', language_id smallint(5) unsigned NOT NULL default '0', UNIQUE KEY idx1 (interp_id,lang_id) ) TYPE=MyISAM; Insertion fails if somebody tries to enter a duplicate record.

Sure... key in you CC number to 1-800-CRACKER and someone will be in touch shortly :) So you want to see what hits his site is getting and then passing to you, and compare it with what he says he's getting and passing to you? Well, baring anything devious, I can't think of a foolproof way to do that really.

If he's just linking to a static link on your client's page, then it'll be tough. However, if you could enforce something on his side (for instance a call-ahead or dynamic link of sorts) that may make it tougher for him to fiddle with things, albeit far from bulletproof. A direct solution may be to simple examine the IP that is referred from him - is it ping'able, traceroute'able - does it seem like an average user (you'd end up with IPs from many different subnets, reverse DNS resolutions, etc.) or is there an odd pattern? > I had heard someone mention once that there was a way to watch a site and > see what errors it throws, 404s et al. > > Did I dream this? See what errors his site throws? Yes, 1-800-CRACKER :) unless of course you can enforce some behavior on his end.

Child process 20456 didn't exist, sent SIGHUP Child process 20460 didn't exist, sent SIGHUP Child process 20476 didn't exist, sent SIGHUP Theoretically I know reason of this error, but i am not Linux or Server expert hence i am not able to find specific practicle reason/s that why this error is making my log file full and what process is causing it. As a temporary solution i have to restart my apache at regular interval otherwise log file gets full with erros. I am using Apache 1.3.27, php 4.3.1, MySql 3.23.55, GD 1.6.2 and higher, Perl 5.8.0 and other packages. I know these info may not be sufficent to find reason of erros, but i hope someone can guide me in proper way. I want to know general or likely reason/s of this error. Whether it is PHP or Apache or Perl or Wrong configuaration of software? that is causing such errors.

Text values like that aren't meant for name fields. Perhaps swap the value and name fields? Or for the name and/or value fields, use id numbers from the database. The name could even be an array, such as: name="car[123]" allowing your receiving script to loop through all of the "car" array elements with a foreach statement.

If you don't get messages from the list, what makes you subscribed to it? Aside from the variation of a digest, which isn't currently available, the closest thing are the realtime archives online. We know there are lacking features with the list - I wrote it in a couple of days when NYPHP had but 10 users, and it was never meant to last this long, nor support this many people. A major revamp will be happening in the coming the weeks/months, including anonymous IMAP archives, digests, XML goodies, etc. If anyone has suggestions for what they'd like to see, we invite you to subscribe to dev at nyphp.org and post them there for discussion. Of course, those who would like to participate in the development process itself (ie, code/frontend/quality assurance) are always welcome.

If you are trying to filter the list because you don't want to see "newbie" questions, how is staying subscribed to the list while not receiving any email from it going to benefit you? Are you just going to want to change your preferences and receive email when you ask a question? If so, that is pretty selfish and goes against the spirit of a listserve, IMHO.

TIA. Take a look at the blurb about variables_order at http://us2.php.net/manual/en/configuration.directives.php. You'll want to take the 'E' out of that setting, which can be done via php.ini or httpd.conf.

On Form 1 a car dealer selects a manufacturer, say, Audi and Alfa-Romeo. On Form 2, I generate all of the models for these manufacturers and provide a checkbox next to each model. To differentiate makes/models on the page I generate checkboxes that look like the following: First part gives me the manufacturer, second part gives me the model. The problem is the Post data. For example, look what happens to the Spider Veloce: (I used var_dump) ["ALFA-ROMEO|1600_DUETTO_SPIDER"] The post data has underscores. But the other part of the issue is that the page posts to itself if there is a data error and checks the various checkboxes depending on the post data. In the case where the post data is ["ALFA-ROMEO|GTV-6"] it's easy enough to do. So...do I do something like a str_replace function to remove the underscores? Keep in mind that I'm on php 4.1.x and it does not have htmlentities nor html_decode_entity.

Text values like that aren't meant for name fields. Perhaps swap the value and name fields? Or for the name and/or value fields, use id numbers from the database. The name could even be an array, such as: name="car[123]" allowing your receiving script to loop through all of the "car" array elements with a foreach statement.

Consequently, the text is needed because a match is made by matching text strings. Not the greatest system, I admit, but sometimes one has to work with what one is given. I've tried the str_replace and that seems to have done the trick (at least in preselecting check boxes based on post data) and I'll use it again to strip out underscores when I save it to the database.

You can run a process that parses each row of data lookup the string in your table. If the string doesn't exist in your table, add it with a unique int ID. If it exists in your table, move to the next row of your denormalized table. What you will end up with is a table with 2 columns, ID and MakeModel.

The idea was "killed" a long time ago by the client. Let me make matters worse, so to speak. This data has a part code that represents each different car part, e.g., brakes; fender, etc. However, the company that creates the data (*not* my client) decided to use the same exact part code number for different parts so that every electronic module in a car has the part code "591" even though one module may control air bags and one may control ignition, etc. Further, part dealers know the parts by these 3 digit codes and can differentiate them by their description (ignition; air bag, etc.). So it requires a part code and text description to differentiate an air bag control module for a Buick from one from a Chevy, etc. Even the make/model information that is provided is not complete....for example, some parts are lumped in under Mercedes Benz even though there are many different models of Mercedes. The bottom line is that the data is not pretty.

Why don't you make the input name an array value like: "makes[ALFA-ROMEO]" and give it a value of "GTV-6" or "SPIDER VELOCE"? Then, you can do something like: foreach ($makes as $make => $model) { print "Dealer has an $make $model"; } Right now, you're probably doing something like: foreach ($_POST as $data) { $clean = str_replace($data, "_", "-"); list($make, $model) = split($clean, "|"); print "Dealer has a $make $model"; } (I may have some function parameter orders mixed up here.) Since the browser only sends back "checked" checkboxes to the server, what's the point of setting a value of "1"? Things should be easier if you set the value to an actually useful value, like say, the model, or even the make and the model. Then, at least, you wouldn't need to worry about the weird re-encoding of the data and the restriction on spaces. > Keep in mind that I'm on php 4.1.x and it does not have htmlentities nor > html_decode_entity. FWIW, htmlentities() has been around forever, so it should be in 4.1. Besides, that's pretty easy to mimic with strtr(): $from = array('&', '<', '>', '"'); $to = array('&', '<', '>', '"'); $html = strtr($ascii, $from, $to); (Well, you may have to rearrange the order to do a double pass because of the &, but this is a good start.) -adam -- adam at trachtenberg.com author of o'reilly's php cookbook avoid the holiday rush, buy your copy today!

And your "guess" on how it is being done is right on the mark. Quite honestly, I hadn't thought about just setting the value to the model (instead of '1'). You offered some great ideas...I'm going to revisit the code and, if time permits, go with the suggestion of input name as array with a value = the model. Thanks so much for putting in the effort to help straighten this out (and thanks go to everyone else who offered suggestions). Jeff P.S. I may have failed to mention that I started using PHP about 5 months ago...when I started this project...so I'm always learning something new. -----Original Message----- From: Adam Maccabee Trachtenberg [mailto:adam at trachtenberg.com] Sent: Friday, June 20, 2003 12:37 AM To: NYPHP Talk Subject: RE: [nycphp-talk] MySQL and spaces in data On Thu, 19 Jun 2003, Jeff wrote: > To differentiate makes/models on the page I generate checkboxes that > look like the following: > > > > > First part gives me the manufacturer, second part gives me the model.

This server is more powerful, better connected and will offer breathing room for development on the old box. Starting at 8:00pm EST tonight, NYPHP.org and mailing lists will be unavailable. The website itself should be back online within an hour; however other services, such as the mailing lists, mailboxes and aliases, will be unavailable for a longer period of time. The NYPHP Mirrors will not be affected, and by Saturday evening all other services should be operational, with another announcement at that time. Please note, however, that some member's DNS servers aggressively cache, resulting in additional, temporary outages. By Monday morning all should be back to normal, and I'll be available at hans at nyu.edu at any time.

Here's a blurb from the link: ---------------------------------- The Regex Coach is a graphical application for Linux and Windows which can be used to experiment with (Perl-compatible) regular expressions interactively. It has the following features: It shows whether a regular expression matches a particular target string. It can also show which parts of the target string correspond to captured register groups or to arbitrary parts of the regular expression. It can "walk" through the target string one match at a time. It can simulate Perl's split and s/// (substitution) operators. It tries to describe the regular expression in plain English. It can show a graphical representation of the regular expression's parse tree. It can single-step through the matching process as performed by the regex engine. Everything happens in "real time", i.e. as soon as you make a change somewhere in the application all other parts are instantly updated. ---------------------------------- (I'm in no way affiliated with the developer, just thought I'd pass along the great tool) Mark From contact at nyphp.org Mon Jun 30 16:44:12 2003 From: contact at nyphp.org (New York PHP) Date: Mon, 30 Jun 2003 16:44:12 -0400 Subject: [nycphp-talk] New York PHP Adopts Mailman as Mailing List Manager Message-ID: <3F00A11C.3000701@nyphp.org> Apologies to those who will receive this message multiple times; we are still in a testing phase with Mailman. Due to member's requests and the current system falling short in some respects, NYPHP's mailing lists are now operated by Mailman (http://list.org). This is anticipated as temporary until our own system is upgraded and enhanced. There are both pros and cons to using Mailman in contrast to our home-grown system (which was entirely in PHP): Pros: -- Handles modern MIME messages better, including attachments and HTML or signed messages -- Highly anticipated "Send me my password" functionality -- Digests -- Generic yet familiar interface (http://lists.nyphp.org) Cons: -- Ghost accounts are not available with Mailman - all mailing list posts must come from a single email address. -- The "Active Threads" area of http://nyphp.org is lost (if you are familiar with Mailman, please contact our Development list (dev at lists.nyphp.org) with any ideas on how this could be implemented using Mailman's static HTML archives) -- Date and time information of messages can be incorrect (the old system timestamped each message) -- Mailman is a bit slower than our PHP version Please take a look at the system (http://lists.nyphp.org) and report any errors, enhancements and suggestions to listmaster at nyphp.org or our Development list (dev at lists.nyphp.org), and we urge you to take advantage of new features such as list digests and other customizations. Development continues on our mailing list manager, pList, as our CVS/SourceForge server goes on line. Many exciting features are planned, including subscribing/unsubscribing from specific threads, full-text search of archives, user comments of archived messages, accurate discussion threading, web forum integration and RSS feeds. We?d also like to hear your suggestions and ideas at dev at lists.nyphp.org. Lastly, please send any errors, configuration issues or suggestions regarding the new Mailman installation to listmaster at nyphp.org Thank you, New York PHP
