i'm setting up nginx with fastcgi. php-cgi seems to want me to pass 'fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME' set to some path. which script is it asking for? my docroot index.php? or the linux php-cgi program itself?
what do you usually set your $SCRIPT_FILENAME to?

Hi to all people

redirect to self, check for SESSION, found message, display message

it worked, btw

ok i c, curl is a chapter of its own though - i get what i need from then returned header (since it is delimited by \n) but as you say, most html host is not linebroken though.. (but even when autogenerating html, i break lines myself for the looks :p )

the question is, how can I be sure that exact page gets the message, and not another page which loads before it

I have a simple problem with php. I've called a webservice written in Java and it reply a simple string encoded. I don't know how can I convert this string in a file in my php hosting script. If you need a part of this string: 255044462d312e340a25e2e3cfd30a332030206f626a203c3c2f46696c7465722f466c6174654
can anyone help me?

You need to read the specification of the protocol to find out what format it's in. Read the docs.

Does fetchAll method close cursor automatically in PDO?

there is no docs

If there are no docs, then you should tell your boss that the task is impossible. You should have identified this as a risk in your web design already.

I can't find out it from manual, only from comments.
So I'm not sure of that.

I've a little snip code of the webservice, maybe we can understand it

I think you only need to close a cursor if you opened it explicitly
If you unset all references do the PDO object, or allow it to fall out of scope, its resources should be cleaned up by a well-behaving PDO driver
(assuming you have no other refs)

Sorry, my minds not on it as i'm currently being DOS'd so you're probably better off re-asking the channel right now :p

http://sourcepost.sytes.net/sourcepost/sourceview.aspx?source_id=29468

is there some how make me use AutoComplete feature in HTML forms but not from history i need make if come from db
i need something like free-text&drop menu

MarkL, I'm not explaining well anyway :P I'll figure it out myself, thanks. You're DOS'd? What's your site so we all visit it and see how it's DOS'd .. jk.. who's doing it?

something like i see in gmail when i try to type email address it make me free to type what i need but in the same time it's drop down my address list

no one can help me?

The Chinese .. just managed to get a hard reboot done ..

what do you want to convert it to?

Another question - is the result free after $stmt=null; without closeCursor()?

killing-joke:Look this code: http://sourcepost.sytes.net/sourcepost/sourceview.aspx?source_id=29468

I think it works but I'm not sure.
I can't check it.

MarkL, ... why would they?

this code create a simple string
encoded
I would like convert it in a file type

foo.xml

If the PDO driver is well behaved, it should close a cursor if the object goes out of scope or is unreferenced. I don't know if all of the drivers are good though
$stmt = null; is ok, but unset($stmt); is better (and end of a function is even better)

killing-joke: look here http://sourcepost.sytes.net/sourcepost/sourceview.aspx?source_id=29470

I'm using PDO commands directly and I don't know if I shouldn't put it info a function.

this is the encoded file
this is a pdf
I would like to convert in PDF

sourcepost is stalled

stalled?

looks like 'sourceview.aspx' is hanging

the data are more

maybe they just decided they don't want to talk to me anymore
bmaybe they just decided they don't want to talk to me anymore /b

wait

Everything should be in a function. Writing code outside a function is bad because there is no lexical scope in PHP
Hence it pollutes your globals namespace

255044462d312e340a25e2e3cfd30a332030206f626a203c3c2f46696c7465722f466c6174654465636f64652f547970652f456d626564646564

when running the 'php-cgi' on Linux as a daemon fastcgi listener, what should my $SCRIPT_FILENAME be set to?
yes, you have the big long hex data. what do you want to do with it?

convert in a file
by php

write "2550...6564" to a file on the hard disk?

???

do you want to write your long numbers to the hard disk?
create new files on disk?

killing-joke: do NOT use register_globals.

Wolfy[drawing]: i'm looking for a good definition of what it is, so i can decide best hosting how to (mis)use it.
which section of the manual can you suggest i dig into?

!+gv

Global Variables - this will show you everything that php sees: prephp print_r($GLOBALS); ?hr size=5 noshadephp var_dump($GLOBALS); ?/pre

wrong channel. oops.

Erm

god damnit.
All my PHP books suck.

!+register_globals

If register_globals is off, you'll need to use $_POST['form_field_name'] or $_GET['form_field_name'] to get form elements (as opposed to $form_field_name). See http://www.php.net/reserved.variables for more information. Why did this change? See http://www.php.net/manual/en/security.registerglobals.php for an explanation. Also see: vars

many many thanks, all

Hi everyone
I've got a question to the mail function. Is it possible to insert paragraphs after 65 characters (or what it was) automatically?

... but the web server and the persistent fastcgi children ar not talking to each other properly yet, so i can't use the suggested code to see the internal state of the php web hosting interpreters.

That depends on the client, not the mail function.

perhaps you are looking for the wordwrap() function?

Wolfy[drawing]: You mean the client has to insert it?
I'll take a look at it, I don't know
yes, seems to be that. cool!

Anyone know of a way to capture screenshots of a URL using PHP?

Yes, it is very difficult.

yep

hey any ideas how to get data to php mysql web hosting DB ? im making game in JS, so if i have won, JS should tell server that how much it took and name of myself but then again, this cant be security, i mean it can be faked, what is best way to do it?

you write a web browser using PHP then screenshot the web browser
uyou write a web browser using PHP then screenshot the web browser /u

aa^way: If the game is using client side scripting for its logic, it can be hacked easily. You can easiyl use an AJAX-type call back to update or retrieve the scores, but it is trivially hackable.

try to pick out data from mysql?

\o/

aa^way: My recommendation would be to try to set the game up so that people have no motivation to hack it. e.g. don't offer a prize.

yep thats hwo it works, its only a puzzle no point for it but im still wondering witch is best way? Maybe some Session control or whatever?

If you use cookies for your sessions, you can use them with AJAX. Alternatively you can manually do it.
http://www.vectrex.org.uk/mark/web/webwords/game.html

So... can __set() and __get() only be used once per each class? I'm having difficulty figuring out which scope and context they'd be used in.
This book isn't helping.

Wolfy[drawing]: thanks again. i found a comprehensive list of reserved variable names here - http://us.php.net/reserved.variables

dan__t, those hooks will only work on undefined properties

good, good.

ok.
so essentially defaults for a get and a set?

yep

so from this book... boolean __set([string property_name],[mixed value_to_assign])
propery name would be $arbitraryReturn, value would be like "This is an error"?
And as a result, "$className-somewhackedoutproperty" would fail if there was no property defined as like 'public $somewhackedoutproperty;', and inside the __set() I could do things such as record an error to a database or whatever?
hrm.
Guess I can't have a different accessor or mutator depending on data type eh
That kindof sucks.

if anyones got 5 mins spare pleease could you priv PM me to give me a bit of help with sessions?

How about you just ask?

Ask in the channel

im tryin to have users with different levels of access to 2 pages
level 1 can access index.php (where the header points to), then level 2 should be allowed to admin.php too
admin.php is accessible via a hyperlink in index.php
i can start a session, but not sure how to have different users in the same session, and how to differentiate between them
in order to grant or disallow access upon clicking the admin.php link

on met quoi dans un manuel de maintenance ?

sesson_start(); if ($_SESSION['accesslevel'] 2) { echo "F off"; } die;

so accesslevel is an element in the session array and also a field in my table?

Wolfy[drawing]: i went through all of my php workers and found the one that was handling the requests. by running "strace -s2000 -vfp $php_pid" on that worker, i was able to see the complete syntax of the request coming from the web server.

You have two problems, authentication and authorisation. You can solve them both using sessions but you need to do something else too, e.g. have a login page.

If you set it as such, sure.

ive got a login page
hold on

my error is not php-related, it seems.
404\r\nX-Powered-By: PHP/5.1.6\r\nContent-type: text/html\r\n\r\nNo input file specified.\n\0

have you seen how edgeruby implements sessions? as encrypted cookies. no files on the server.. is this viable for php?

Don't ever do error_reporting(0).

MarkR42, you mean except on your live server

oh k

You could use encrypted cookies, but there is a limit to how much data you could store

MarkL, 4k

No, I mean, don't set error_reporting(0), EVER!

4k ought to be enough for anybody (tm)
MarkR42, why

Because errors should not be ignored. If they happen, they're really important

dan__t, was on another tab, what's your issue ?

I mean, why would you want people seeing your php errors on the live server

I use error_reporting(E_ALL)

right
and I use error logging

error_reporting does not affect whether people SEE your errors or not

Just still wondering about __get() and __set()

can anyone give me a few pointers?

It affects whether they're reported. You ALWAYS want ALL errors reported, somewhere.
Also, most of the time you want any error to abort the page immediately

And as a result, "$className-somewhackedoutproperty" would fail if there was no property defined as like 'public $somewhackedoutproperty;', and inside the __set() I could do things such as record an error to a database or whatever?

MarkR42, how would you set that - custom error handlers?
I convert some errors to exceptions, and handle them
that's the alternative approach
and more robust in my opinion

bleh.

what must we write in maintenance manual ?

I normally use a custom error handler. It converts anything to a exception.
In a few places these are caught, but in most they fall through to a default exception handler which logs the error and context and displays an error page (without error message) in production

well "anything" could screw up the reporting

In development it throws out a stack trace

hey all

it throws the stack traceof the error handler
which is not what you really want

Technically it checks whether that type of error is included in error_repoprting, otherwise ignores it
No, it throws the stack trace of the error.
Basically, I concluded that even an E_NOTICE usually means a bug or a problem
So even they cause an exception to be thrown normally

nada de nada
the problem is very hard to me

quelle manual?

killing-joke, maintenance manual

cette manual? - http://www.php.net/manual/fr/

no

je pense que le logicial php n'a pas besoin de "maintenance", non?

!+english

##PHP is an English only channel. If you need support in some other language, please try elsewhere.

killing-joke, i'm not talking about php

ah, ok

i have a maintenance manual to write

sorry about that

I'm tryin to use phpBB, no one's up in #phpbb, thought maybe someone here could help.

hm what is function for deleting everything in directory? doing rmdir but says unable to access, probly it is full of files thats why but is there any better way then opening dir and looping over files and doing unset one by one?
unlink*

aa^way
rm -f

You can't delete non-empty directory
Jinx--: That's be rm -rf

Jinx-- I cant do it like that :P

*that'd

well, depends on if he wants to remove the content, or the directory too

is there a java byte type in PHP?

aa^way, dunno then

A what?

I have a little code
that write a long string

Welcome to the club

a string encoded

!+enter

Don't use the enter key as punctuation. Think in complete thoughts, then type.

I don't understand how to convert it by php
255044462d312e340a25e2e3cfd30a332030206f626a203c3c2f46696c7465722f466c6174654465636f64652f547970652f456d62656464656446696c652f4c656e6774682032203020522f5061726

this code encode a simple pdf file in a simple string
and I would like to decode it with php
can you help me?

You've already asked this loads of times, no we can't help you. You need the specification which tells you what format the data are in, otherwise you're stuffed.

if you stop abusing enter

Why? "Warning: unlink() [function.unlink]: Unable to access /user_puzzles/2612/17.jpg in image.functions.php"

thanks guys

oh user_puzzles chmod right?
na it already has =\

aa^way: user_puzzles is in the root directory?

no, it is in root/aron

aa^way: So fix it

eurocv3794, http://www.pgregg.com/code/hexstr.php
paste it in there and click hexstr

i want that script work on everywhere, maybe cwd()."/user_puzzles" ?

cwd() isn't a function

I'm trying

getcwd i meant

im checking "if(!$_SESSION['logged_in'])" when someone tries to access my index page, and if it's true i use header(...back to login page) ... but the login page is where it's set, so it's initially saying undefined index.. surely this is a catch22?

jesmond, not at all.

I don't seem to be able to assign values to my class vars via a constructor; assigning with $myObj-myVar = $myValue; works fine.. Does anyone knows what's the reason for this?

I still want the pastebin'd code.
