Im trying to create a database export function like phpmyadmin I have a binary blob field and phpmyadmin exports

Another useless script on my trashbin.

hrm..
It works well enough I guess

http://hashphp.org/pastebin.php?pid=22986

Interesting. Would've been cool if you turned that into a single big image.

Not a big step anymore. Just CBA. :]

Your error is obvious. Line 38 says "if ($room1='' || $room2='')"

does that say a threaded monkey

I guess I'll reimplement that for my IRC clients UI, though.
threeheaded! :[

that's why you do it if ('' == $room1 || '' == $room2)

You mean to say "if ($room1=='' || $room2=='')"

mybad SlashLife

In your code you are reassigning $room1 and $room2 to an empty string (''). So it is doing basically: $this-loc['']-isAvailableDir($room1Dir)

I've only been codingsince 1977... and I still do dumb things like that...shame

1977 O_O
.oO( I hate that year. _

ohh, sorry...how about 1978

Oh and by the way... I don't see the usefulness in "return 'true'" and "return 'false'"

im telling you man, start writing your conditionals backwards

Not really better. :/

you'll save so much time :p

yeah, you're right

Because I'm not sure whether I hate 1977 or 1978, so I hate them both.

just a placeholder fo rnow

us stoners know our shit man :p

I guess it sucks that I've only been programming for 4 years and I spot your so-called "dumb thing" :P
..2 seconds after I opened your pastebin page

younger eyes :p

i used to write complete systems (accounting packages, inventory, etc) in mneumonic assembler back then... and I still get creamed by ==
yeah, I have 4 that don't work well

I have bad eyesight, btw

heh me 2 :p

And all along, I was right. It was a problem with how you were accessing the array
And all along, I was right. It was a problem with how you were accessing the array

hahaha, you're really rubbing my nose in it. fair enough

Just messin' around
Anyone could've made that mistake. I make mistakes like that over long nights.

php hurts my brains

The thing is, once you've made a mistake such as that, your brain focuses to the next part of your code.
That's why it's so much harder to spot it.

U guz kan haz an eazeer language
lolcode ftw
kthxbye

yes. i wrote a long piece the other day using dynamic variable names... that was a bitch too

wutz no luv 4 lolcode ?

That's why you use an associative array instead of dynamic variables

i hate those, as useful as they are...it's like (if anyone remembers) computed goto's

fine...

that would be too easy

No, easy is writing a program using a text editor :P

well...sometimes...nevermind
well, while I'm here...let me ask something about php host 5's handling of objects. It appears that given a member, let's say, SIZE, that unlike some other languages, I can't have a set(size) or get(size) that are invoked automatically when the code sets or gets, that I actually have to invoke the set/get method name. is that true?

php.net/oop5 -- Read the section on overloading

will do...you're two for two. I think I'll go now...if you get to 3 tonight I'll have to hang myself Thanks.

If an html form never sent data to $_POST['variable'] - but I then set $variable = $_POST['variable'] is $variable considered 'set'? I'm trying to do error checking for whether the user forgot to enter data but if (!isset($variable)) { echo "empty variable"; } isn't working.

is something else setting $variable?

how can i grab information from my address bar. ex: page.php?get=x and then in php if(get==x){}, but that doesn't seem to be proper syntax, what is?

no, nothing other than setting $variable to $_POST['variable']

i don't understand, i set xdebug.remote_autostart="1" in /etc/php/cli-php5/ext-active/xdebug.ini but phpunit foo doesn't trigger the debugger which is indeed listenning for connections. Of course this setting isn't working in the apache2 php.ini, but when the XDEBUG_SESSION_START is sent in http request : debugging is possible. Using xdebug 2.0.0_rc3, php 5.2.1-pl3-gentoo, any idea please ?
according to http://xdebug.org/docs-settings.php, this is the only thing that i have to do to get the debugger on CLI (autostart)

what happens if you var_export( $_POST )?
$_GET['get']

anybody have a copy of cutenews handy? Site is down

anyone know if there is a minimum number of characters that need to be sent before a "headers already sent" warning is sent?
wow. i used the word "sent" three times.

hahah

yes, any

then why am i not seeing that behavior?

you must send /no/ characters before you use header
you may have output buffering enabled

the only way i can get it to warn me is by sending many 100s of characters.

try sending a single newline

didn't work.

what didn't work?

the newline didn't cause the warning.

pastebin the code you're using
minimal. test. case.

first, phpinfo() says "output_buffering 4096 4096"
does that mean it's buffering up to 4096b?

it looks like it would buffer 4096 characters to me

i see.
then changing it, i must.
http://pastebin.com/931079 my tests would made sense then.

while(ob_get_level()){ ob_end_clean(); } # or similar

where should that go?

at the top
before you send any output

ok cool. so i can include that in a global include file?

i'm sure you can do it with an ini_set in a more friendly way

yeah i just did that. i'm about to test it.
dang. still no luck. perhaps i've got the value wrong. ini_set('output_buffering', 0);
i also tried 'Off' instead of zero.
anyone know how to properly turn off output_buffering using ini_set()?

danggun it
Can't be done with ini_set()

?
ahhhh... i see.

http://us.php.net/manual/en/ini.php#ini.list
"PHP_INI_PERDIR"
"PHP_INI_PERDIR 2 Entry can be set in php.ini, .htaccess or httpd.conf"

crap
my host (dreamhost) doesn't run php as an apache module and so i can't use .htaccess.

are you sure you don't get .htaccesses anyway?
since .htaccess is read by apache, not mod_php

i already tried using it for setting the include_path but it wouldn't work unless i did it through ini_set().
but also i verified it with support. they said ini_set() doesn't work because they run php as a CGI.

ah, that'll be why it failed when i was playing with a friends account then

they did however say that i can install php host myself but... that's too much trouble for me.

how do you mean "install php yourself"?

well, basically i can compile host a local install of PHP for myself so that i can have access to my php.ini file.
i'll send you their wiki hosting page on it. just a minute.
here is their response:
Changing PHP values in this manner is only available when php web hosting is setup as
an Apache module. Since this poses a major security risk, we have PHP
installed as a cgi binary. To modify a php.ini value simply refer to the
following Wiki article:
http://wiki.dreamhost.com/PHP.ini
a href="http://wiki.dreamhost.com/PHP.ini"http://wiki.dreamhost.com/PHP.ini/a
not sure but i guess this will force me to write a better debugging function anyway. :|

what do you mean?
you should be doing your "debugging" by running unit tests

tell me more about these "unit tests".

you snag a framework, you write code that says "when i call foo(x) i expect the result to be y"
when you run the tests, it calls foo(x) and if the answer isn't y, the test fails
you can use more complicated rules than exact equality
the idea being that you decide what the function (or class) will do first, write the tests for the class
you run the tests, and everything will fail (at first)... you put the class together until all the tests pass

hmm... which framework?

(most people don't write the tests first, but write them at the same time instead)

You also hope you don't screw up the definitions of the tests.

a testing framework, which one is not important

suggestions?

obviously the tests are code too
simple test is the one i've been using

thanks.

and if the function isn't well defined, then you shouldn't be coding it anyway

tags and outputting that.

just a simple "what's $x right now?" kind of thing since php doesn't do stepping.

there are debuggers that will allow you to step through php code
you may not be able to load the debugging module though

oh. yeah.

I've gotten by without a debugger just fine... I wouldn't rely on those.
But I suppose they can be helpful. Just don't forget how to var_dump() when you need it.

if you require a debugger, your code is too complex

except for experimenting with this unit test stuff, my plan is to write a debugging function that neatly prints the same output as print_r() or var_dump() to a log. i'll just watch it with "tail -f" as my page executes.
sound ok?

that'd work, depending on how you handle your logging... logging.apache.org for log4php

my first attempt at the function looked like this:
function write_log($message, $line = '?')
{
// open the log file
$logfile = fopen($GLOBALS['logfile'], 'a');
$new_message = '['.date($GLOBALS['date_format'], time())."]\t{$message}\t".$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']."\t$line";
fwrite($logfile, $new_message."\n");

fclose($logfile);
}

PASTE BIN DAMN YOU

oh sorry. i thought that was just for really long stuff.

that's a terrible way to do logging
no, the rule is no pasting in the channel, at all, ever

ok. no problem.

(well, of code anyway)

not that it's a problem for me, but why?

3 lines = pastebin

also, your logging will fail if 2 requests are made at the same time

and not even typing many lines of code manually, of course

your log will be butchered

because of file locks?

or the lack thereof, yes

because of the lack thereof
lol

oh haha.

also, there is no meaning in the logs, just strings

glad i'm learning this now (at the start of my project)!

you can't later stick the stuff from that function into, say a database log, or have it emailed in any meaningful way

yeah i'd thought about how to make it useful if imported into another program but i wasn't sure how to approach it.

log4php already does that, and more

i'm looking at log4php right now. does this "fix" my problems?
i see.

it will "fix" your logging, yes

well... here goes!
hey another question... what's the recommended way of setting up configuration settings? as you could see in my logging function i am currently assigning values to $GLOBALS.
is there a better way to do that?

named constants, if that will work

a global associative array will work fairly well too

3 named constants

$config[mailer][smtp_host] = 'mail.foo.com'; etc

have a file filled with them for every project

except they can't be arrays, or objects

what are the merits of named constants?

what's on the can
they're constants
and they're named

they are readonly and they are only scalars

but if you need an array, then don't use them, obviously

so let's see... these $GLOBALS that i'm using now won't change (except during initial setup) but at the same time i do like the idea of group values together (e.g. associative array).

then define it in a common file and include it in all the files that use those values

yeah that's what i'm doing. i guess i'll stick with it. thanks.

anyone know of a good performance profiler for php?

!tell SeLfkiLL about g10

van be runn php4 with mysql in windows?
anybody has done thgis setup?

indeed you can

how
I get this error , and I checked everything:

xamp will do it all for you

performance profilers aren't generally scripts (I was looking for some opions on pear or pecl packages)

haven't been on windows in ages, but there are some packages that install apache/php/mysql, etc all in one

mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client in....

pear is 3rd party
no pear in here plz

yes, i know wanp, but it install php5 and mysql5
I need to have php4 and mysql5

doesn't it install both php4 and php5?

meh I guess I'll ask somewhere else then

weel, I did a manual setup...

so you picked those options, and are now complaining about them?

well, the issue is that everithing is going ok
till i tried mysql from php
and I dont' hacve any idea of why it does not work

so you need to load the driver for the right version of mysql you're using
perhaps you want mysqli
or you want to not have mysqli, depending on which version of the server it is

well
its 5..027
but the isue is that seemsd that php 4.4.6 has an integrated driver for mysql

it'd still be a module

and conector*/php only works for php 5
so using vconector/ph p with php4 gives an error

what is connector*?

sorry
connector/php i was meant
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/old-client.html --- interesting

does log4php require PEAR? i didn't mention it on the website but the INSTALL file mentions it and so now i'm not sure.
it* didn't mention it...

if it required pear, it would be listed

I need to round the current time to the nearest 15 mins
how can I do that

use mod and *

whats the function to strip blank ascii?

mod's not what i want at all
"blank"?

spaces
f00li5h, spaces

just spaces?
what about tabs?

f00li5h, yes
that too

i'm sorry, but what exactly do you want?
how about nul/hor-tab etc?
or most of the unprintables?

5.70 and I dont want all that space infront of the number

perhaps you should instead only extract what you want to keep
will there be anything else in the string, besides that number?
trim, ltrim or rtrim
perhaps you can add zero to it, and then format it with sprintf

f00li5h, nope, just number setup like that. currency actually

http://www.topicify.com/poll.php - anybody know why the stats here differ from the ones in http://www.topicify.com/cnnrepublican...all I did was PHP include("cnnrepublican/index.php"); ?

Is there a shorter way of defining 128 0's in a list then typing it out?

f00li5h, how could I extract only the integers and the decimal?

oh lol, hey there

hrm?
well, you could use preg_match_all and capture the bits you want
you could replace any non-digit/dot character
or you could just ltrim/rtrim/trim it

f00li5h, im trying ltrim now, thanks

you wouldn't know how to do the perl thing you told me about in php would you?

which thing now?

(0) x 128

array_repeat
or array_fill, i'm not sure

okay thanks

f00li5h, worked like a charm. thanks mate

http://digg.com/2008_us_elections/Ron_Paul_On_FOX_NEWS_Video
erm
sorry

are you porting a perl script to php then?

log4php is driving me nuts. using this page (http://www.vxr.it/log4php/qsg.html) as my starting point, where is it getting it's setup information from????

it's config file

is that LoggerDOMConfigurator.php in log4php/xml/ ?

yeah

don't bother

why...
hello?

he might be busy doing something else...?

Tarantulafudge, do you need 128 0's in a string?

I figured that part out, thanks

is this the proper way to do it? $vquery = "SELECT * FROM `COMMENTS` where `tvshow` = $tvshow AND `cid` = $cst['id'] AND `type` = '$type'";

array_fill(0,128,0)

Tarantulafudge, if you need it as a string you can also use str_pad

cool, thanks

no, it's a list

f00li5h, nah I didn't know

Hi, I use PHP shell and would like to send an email to myself everytime someone logs in to the web interface. Whats the best way to go about doing this?

why should I 'not bother'

i'd arue the perl version is faster, more secure and easier to maintain (and that's without seeing it)
what don't you know?

f00li5h, I didn't know what he wants...

well personally I think perl is slow on websites but I could be wrong

I still don't. but nvm now that you're back you can talk to him

don't get me wrong, thats not why i'm porting it

oh, then why are you porting it?
if you're running straight CGI, it'll be far slower than if you run with mod_perl, or fcgi

I just need it as part of an app I'm writing for my website
I can't find the specific code in any other languge

what code?

its to decode bacula's broken/nonstandard base64 implementation

who's?

using code from "recover.pl", its nearly identical to php

what are you trying to md5?

anyone have tried using the pdflib shared object? After placing the .so in the extension_dir and adding the required line in php.ini ..Im not able to restart my apache...
my apache crashes...

I'm trying to decode File.MD5 but its encoded in bacula's wierd base64 format

is it a problem to do with apache or php...?

you may need to recomplie the module

http://www.aha.com/bacula/recover.pl
its a subroutine called "from_base64"

yeah ..will try that

why not just shell out to the perl script and have it do the workf ory ou?

because recover.pl does something entirely different, and i'm pretty sure running exec(perl blah.pl) would be slower than just using php to begin with

so you're using base64?
'cause i'm pretty sure php has a function for that

php has a function to decode standard base64, but bacula's is not

this script looks like a crap version controll package

yea but its the only place where I've actually seen how to decode the md5 sums
bacula's md5 008TT6/8QF+FRG/yiwx0BB and my md5 917cb8a3d1d9eb24af6c5bcf3bf7e401
those are not the same files but I just wanted to show you how they look different

well, you should be able to easily translage between them

how so

if it is actually md5, the only difference can be that it's a substitution cypher

if you have the time i'd appreciate your input on the log4php issue. how do i specify (or find out where) the configuration file?

the page you linked me to has links to the docs on those constants

yeah and i read them. but they don't make sense. it doesn't tell me where to set them and i can't find 'log4php.properties' OR find instructions on creating a configuration file.

it says in the example code
/* Set LOG4PHP_* constants here */

oh duh. ok that's one piece of the puzzle. :|

array(9) {["talk"]=array(3) {...} ["edit"]=array(3) {...} ["history"]=array(3) {...}}
when I add new element, how can I change the possition within the array of where it will be inserted?
like if I want new element to end up #2 right after "edit"

gcardinal, $array['edit'][2] = 'new element';
is it what you're asking?

you'll have to reconstruct the array

garotosopa not really
f00li5h so there is no way to insert in a sertent place?

the traversal order is determined by the order the elements are added, so you will have to remove all the elements after the spot you're intersted in, add your element, then re-add the old ones
no, there is not

okey thx!, at least I am on the right way

how can i get the ip of the person trying to access my site?
$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] is reliable?

Athfar, it's reliable until the person is using proxy
isn't*

you said it right the first time

So you want proxy's IP, not the real one?

no lol
you answered my question
is it even possible to get the users ip from not the proxy?
or if they are using a proxy

does this channel have a bot
like tell smth something

when I do a var-dump of my foreach can I have it give me all the data back?

you can vardump a loop?

ok - where are we supposed to look...
any particular lines?

144 - 170 is my XML parse
The first 100 lines of so are just data examples so you can see the XML

Does PHP support duck typing? For example, if I write class A, and a function in that class references method Q, does Q need to be implemented in A, or is it OK if Q is implemented in B, where B is a sub-class of A?
Assuming I never use an instance of A, that is. And only use instances of B.

is B an abstract method in A ferguscan? if so - I think it would work... though I am unsure if that would be considered late static binding - and PHP has a problem with that

So is there a way to expand my loop

is there an efficient way to find overlaps between 4 numbers?
like, 300 -- 400 with 350 and 410

what means when there is a _asd

lig, Q is the method, and has no definition, abstract or otherwise, in A. But it's called from some of A's functions. It's then implemented in B.
lig, I come from the world of Python, where such things are possible, and even normal.

ferguscan, then I doubt it could be used in A since it doesn't exist yet when A is loaded

how to tell bot to remember smth?

marltu, without the proper karma - you can't

lig, OK. I will have to put in abstract shells for the methods in question. Thanks.

what's the cmd?

marltu, if you have the proper karma - you would know

i want to make bot like this

RLO|RyanLanham, what version of PHP?

look into simplexml

ok, I hate dumping what I already have lol.

much easier

it's one of the other m8\
just pull the pants down and get over with it tbh

that's an obscure way to say "you get a -- instead of a ++"

lol yes yes, I lose a point
and ++ to lig for the help
brb gonna see if that will work.

for ($i = 0; $i sizeof($arr); $i++) if (some cond) unset($arr[$i]);
does the sizeof() get recalculated?

so I got it outputting the selected tags
how do I loop it and save it as a usable array?
I tried

$value) {

echo $head.$value.'br /';
}
sorry thought it would go on oneline...

I'm trying to create a database export function like phpmyadmin. I have a binary (blob) field and phpmyadmin exports it as the hex string "0x21b14ea77222531a5103a7255dd7aad1". The function doing the conversion is $values[] = '0x' . bin2hex($row[$j]), however when I try this function on the same field, I get 0x2b7217ed723c62960db9cf8b566f011a. Would it be using a different character set before the conversion? If so, how would I alter it to get the same result?

good morning bots

morning

why are you doing this? It's a waste of time

MikeSeth, how so?

when I make an array using foreach...how do I know what to call it in my var dump

don't understand the question
if you need to move a database, you have mysqldump. If you need to export data you have SELECT INTO OUTFILE

Well I have an XML doc.... with 8 elements in it. SimpleXML works fine getting the data, I just don't know how to make a foreach loop to turn it into an array

turn what into array, an element?

can I PM you...I don't everyone to have my XML acccess key.

MikeSeth, i'm just trying to make it so that if i lose my database I can just paste into phpmyadmin and if I have binary data it may not save correctly
MikeSeth, which is why I want to save it as a hex representation

no, pastebin instead
you have pack()

MikeSeth, unpack() produces the same result as above

pastebin would thwart the idea of me pm'in you....im just pm'ing you a link to protect my sys id
but ill just a make a paste bin
with the xml

MikeSeth, I tried unpack('H*', $entry[$n]); and unpack('h*', $entry[$n]);... they are just swapping every second character with the next, but still not the right result

any thoughts

Hi all, how I set the expiration time of a session in php5?

http://www.phpfreaks.com/tutorials/77/0.php
might be worth a look

care.
we were saying? i was kinda away

I need to take the XML found here http://pastebin.ca/573594 and using SimpleXML make it a useable array.
so I can store it in my db

okay. You know SimpleXML has type coercion tricks right?

I don't hardly anything about it....I just know that all I want to do it take this stupid XML thats been a PITA and make is usable lol.

errr wait what are you doing
$xml = new SimpleXMLElement($xmlfile);
wtf is this
who told you to do that?

manual

what's wrong with that?

he has a -document-
er wait. Does he?

nope

yes, he does.

not from file_getg
oops
not from file_get_contents

http://il.php.net/manual/en/function.simplexml-load-file.php

hi
i want use pointer in php
it is possible?

either way, you get back a SimpleXMLElement object.
there are no pointers in PHP

but the &$var ?

I am getting them not

Those are references.

now*

But they are NOT pointers.

dexter_man that's not a pointer.

I can get individual tags from an echo
I can even vardump things
what I need to do is take tha data

ok, lemme actually look at your code

and save it to my db
who are you refering to?

you, apparently

pl
ok*

oh. I see what the problem is.
SimpleXMLElement is a tree. You are only scanning the innermost part of that tree.

http://pastebin.ca/573620
Right that I understand, and I have not problems with that, its trying to get the data that I can access from a var_dump, saved....

what is the run time of insert and select for associative array $foo['bar'] = 1; echo $foo['bar'];

yes. I think SimpleXML may not be your best solution here.
on the other hand, SimpleXML has xpath support. You should use it

Not important. That's what it is.

This is becoming over complicating and stupid.....all I need to do it loop through and external XML file and save the array data....didn't think it was going to be this much hassle

SimpleXML is nice when you have to fetch a few values, but if you need to retrieve contents of the entire document, you'll have to write a lot of code
well, loop through what? the entire file? a particualr section?
if you want the whole of it, well, do this: $array = (array) domxml_load_file($xml);
I think its a bad idea. But, well.

All I need to do is save that file on a hourly basis in my sql as an array to call it back out.
So I don't get sued for hammering the weather.com's severs lol
servers*

then you are most certainly overcomplicating matters, because it's something that wget + cron can do
again, arrays are linear, SQL tables are linear, and XML is a tree.

so.....
I should write a cron
to save the xml file to my db

Well, no. You should write one to store it into a file

kuja, heh?

ok
and then just use simplexml to pull the data I need?

You can, yes. I dont know what youre doing with the data. Most likely I'd use XSLT or dom + xpath to translate it to what I need

yea, I need to work on figuring this whole XML thing out....there are a ton of places that provide content that way

well, then most certainly you should read about XSLT and XPath
hay dav7

will do
thanks for the help

hey MikeSeth

welcome
sup dav7

hmm.
not alot
I actually gave up on that notes thing because I can't figure out authentication for all I'm worth
and I really don't have the motivation to go and figure it out on the net
*eyeroll*
so yes, another... thing... added to the trash heap
^ michlemken
oops
^ MikeSeth
lulz
right now... I'm enjoying listening to an, uh, *checks* XM through my SB16 with the bass like [-------------------#] that XDXD

so nobody knows ther runtime of php associative array operations?

nuh me :P

The runtime of php associative array operations? You're going to have to clarify that.
4.5 seconds

How long is a piece of string?
etc.

you cant figure authentication of what?

the number of operations O(N) amortized O(logN) O(N*m) N=size of array m=average letters per word

oh, just login/logout etc. It's beyond me, as is saving/loading of files. So I just gave up xD

well. Poke me when you change your mind

(that's the truth)

personally, I don't know. You can ask Pollita, TML or other gods if they're around

lmao

go learn lisp then

NOO.

Okay.

hi. if i have an array indexed numerically like $ship[1][ship_id][ship_name] is it possible to remove the numeric keys so that it is just an associative array?

my_haz just off the top of my head it's probably going to be O(N+a) a=average # of entries in each bucket

codeCowboy, and do what with them? combine them? how, you would get colliding data

Class 'Zend_Search_Lucene_Document' not found, any ideas what im missing?
I tried to include /Zend, /Zend/Search, and ../Zend/Search/Lucene

I suppose, class Zend_Search_Lucene_Document
ZFW doesnt have autoloading?

According to the install doc i have to put it in include_path

i have code like this

I dont know, I don't use ZFW, and this is not a support channel for it, ask ZFW people

script type="text/javascript" src="=$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . "/incldue/js/ewp.js ?"/script
when i see page source
it will show full path
how can i get path from include/..../

full *filesystem* path

edman007, i have two arrays. one contains reviews, the other just ship_ids and ship_names. the reviews array only contains ship ids so i want to use the $ships array as a kind of lookup table. i wasnt able to get the data out of mysql as i wanted it as its in two separate databases so i'd like to try it this way.

i do not get you
basically i am not a programmer :$

then, hire someone who is

errr
come on man

come on man what? You don't expect a free half an hour lecture introducing you to the basics of web technologies, do you?

codeCowboy, so your data is stored in the keys? well change that and you won't have a problem

you want *URL* location, not filesystem path. See $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] and HTML BASE tag

thanks buddy for pointing me

edman, would it be ok to PM you a URL where you can see the array output?

pastebin

edman007, ^^

!+pastebin

Submit your text to http://hashphp.org/pastebin or http://cpp.sourceforge.net or http://pastebin.ca then tell us the URL and a summary of the problem. Don't flood by pasting in the channel.

a little warning - PHP_SELF is vulnerable to injection...SCRIPT_URL may be better

codeCowboy, pastebin.ca

k one sec

bah. Agavi solves that problem for me, so I start forgetting things

heh...yus i know what you mean
prepared statements make me forget to escape when i really have to
by the way mike, how would you rate agavi against say the zend framework?

edman007, array 1 snippet http://hashphp.org/pastebin?pid=23000

i'm thinking of adopting zend but the orm isn't exactly great...shame because the rest of it is

edman007, array2 snippet
http://hashphp.org/pastebin.php?pid=23001

So
mike
quick question

edman007, that is the way cakePHP formats the data coming back.

I saved this to my server and weather.xml.....http://xoap.weather.com/weather/local/60660?cc=*&dayf=7&link=xoap&prod=xoap&par=1041664096&key=f994b09b54a50df8

I kinda meant $i-=2; instead of 1 -- ^^

is hat the wrong extensin becuase my server doesn't like it

any ideas?

codeCowboy, so what data is going to be used to link the arrays?

edman007, hopefully, the link is [id] in the $ships array(array2) and [ship] in the $reviews array

'\n' is not the same as "\n"

MikeSeth, eh why not? and how can I fix I just want it to work

wget 'http://url' - note the quotes

sounds like you should just reformat the incoming arrays so the ids are a key (at least for one array), then loop through the other and copy the data to the right spot

print '\n' prints literally a backslash and n. "\n" prints a new line.

MikeSeth, I have no control if it is ' or " it just is
MikeSeth, its from a form

sanmarcos, then pass a literal new line char

so again, are you certain that these are new lines and not combinations of backslash and n?

how?

edman007, first array is rreviews, second array is ships. [ship] in the reviews array is the ship id from the ships table. [id] in the ships array is also the ship id from the ships table so i figures i should be able to somehow build a new reviews array but with the ship id replaced with the ship name?

you know what, Ill just do my own str_replace to. nl2br shouldnt care if its newlines or literal characters. I see what the problem is now MikeSeth

codeCowboy, loop through the one with ship_name, and create a new array $ship[$id] = $ship_name;, then loop through the review array and copy $ship[$id] into it

i'll give that a try - thanks.

what kind of language treats stuff different in ' and "?
wtf

many

sanmarcos, C, C++, Java, bash and just about everything i can think of

i see

:-]
god I like fixed font width

i have used this code script type="text/javascript" src="php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] . "/include/js/ewp.js" ?"/script
and when i taking source i got this script type="text/javascript" src="/new.php/include/js/ewp.js"/script

that makes sense

L|NUX, PHP_SELF is bad. Use SCRIPT_NAME instead.

basically what i am trying to do
i am including file using php like java script or other files and i do not want user to see absolute path

(nice nickname btw) : =dirname($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']) . "/include/js/ewp.js"?

let me try this

should \r\n expand correctly?

on windows it should

edman007, this just creates an array with one entry (presumably it keeps overwriting itself). http://hashphp.org/pastebin.php?pid=23002. can you expand on creating the new array? thanks!

no, you're missing the point. You should set a BASE href to point at the URL root, and specify the rest of links to resources as relative

Dynom, I am printing it like PRINT EOF textarea$string/textarea

codeCowboy, looking...

works

no spuprise there (-;
suprise even
you could get double '/'`s btw

codeCowboy, like this http://hashphp.org/pastebin.php?pid=23003

would be prettiest I think

ok
thanks buddy

edman007, of course! was being a dunce. thanks very much!
edman007, i forgot that you could create the key dynamically like that

why would it need trimming?

Hello, I have installed php5 and using phpinfo(); I see under the extension_dir is /usr/local/lib/php/20060613 however this path does not exist on the box but /usr/local/lib/php/20050922 does - have I done something wrong? should I create the dir that is in phpinfo

what's the easiest way to grab server headers, i.e. apache1.3, php5.2.1, mod_security from a web(httpd)server remotely?

create that folder
raar_, there is an extension "Live Headers" for firefox that does it

to avoid a possible '//'

edman007, thanks

will rtrim remove /'s?

is it possible to revert zend-encryption?

if you tell it to... rtrim('pew/', '/');

ah cool, thanks!

Btw regarding the Zend framework from earlier, Zend framework doesn't work like an extension, putting it in include_path isn't enough, one must require the relevant scripts in his script

Azrael_-, no, its compiled as well, so its not going to work even if you have the encryption keys

anyone mind helping ? http://pastebin.ca/573828

aa^way, are those functions right next to each other as you show?

yep
exactly like that

well, its not that I have exactly high hopes for ZFW

MikeSeth, how come

aa^way, are those part of a class definition (as in they are methods, not functions), if they are not then what code are they inside?

people who write general purpose, aimless PHP code don't understand PHP execution model

they appear indented so i assume they are not in the unconditional flow of the script

aa^way : array_map(array($this,"sol2ar"),$keis)

or to call it statically, use Array(__CLASS__, 'sol2ar' )

thanks

Hi, I want to create a script which will find any hyperlinks which refer to an external page and add 'rel="external" to the link which will in turn be used to open the link in a new window, how should I go about this?

with an html parser

always a start

from there, it's easy, you just snag all the A tags, and add the extra attribute to them
then re-generate the html and write it all back out

edman007, sorry, being a dunce again. how should i be copying the value into my reviews array? http://hashphp.org/pastebin.php?pid=23006

yeah, the what i understand, i'm just not sure on the how what functions are involved?

codeCowboy, are you on PHP5?

hello, is there any way in PHP to perform pattern matching like Perl does, in terms of using (.+?) ?

frazz123, preg_*() are the perl regex funcs

they are the pcre functions, not the perl regex functions

...well its compatible

.oO{ why isn't it pcre_replace? }
it's Like Perl But Different, actually

ok, thank you, i will have a look at those functions

http://hashphp.org/pastebin.php?pid=23008

edman - yes php5

ok, well then use the first one, and its print_r($reviews); you forgot the s

edman007, awesome - thanks very much.

cat data/testdata.txt | awk -F, '{ print $1 }' | ../bin/grep -i $PLACE$ | awk '{ print "item"$0"/item" }'

edman007, what is the php5 one doing with the &?

neat

itemWARDHANNAPET/item
itemKAWARDHA/item
Neat ?
Now, I want to print the output of this sting.
So I write:

do it all in php, instead of with the shell

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in
syntax error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in/u

you messed up the quotes

In the place of $PLACE$ in that command, I want to use $_GET['name']

codeCowboy, by default php copies the array and loops on the copy, this prevents writes to the array from staying, adding the & only works in php5 but it prevents the copy behavior which helps speed it up a bit and makes the code shorter when you need to modify the data

Oops.. OK Let me paste what I wrote in the pastebin.
http://pastebin.ca/573857
Whats wrong in that ?

do it with php, use open and so on

edman - kind of like the OOP reference and copy behaviour beteen the two versions?

no, the problem is that that grep is my own file.. How do I call it in php ?

codeCowboy, somewhat i suppose, but they did not change the default behavior

ok. Got it. Thanks codeCowBoy.

open the file with php, read the lines, and check if the string is part of each line

ok Thanks.

edman. ok thanks again for your help. this has made what is going to be a very stressful day slightly less so.

oops. I cant do that. The grep utility is not the standard one and my custom utilty which does some complex matching based on edit distances... I cant simply go thru each record and do a simple match.
I need to run that command from php itself.

tell me, why is it called grep?

http://pastebin.ca/573861 Assume its some utility that takes in some input and produce some output. Now whats wrong in that code ?

parse error right?

syntax error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING

$_GET['place'] = {$_GET['place']}
or $_GET[place] if you like to annoy me
actually, $_GET[place] probably wont work in `

$_GET[$_GET[$GLOBALS['test']]] = null;

did i mention that you messed up your quotes?

NoParse, whats that ?

God only knows

funny, running that code after i fixed it made windows error

Why wont it work ? I can access $_GET['place'] in the code.

wrap it in {}

I wrapped it and it gave me null results.

well that's probably not php

perhaps you should compose the whole command, and just print the command out, until you figure out what's interpolating where

Actually, for the same string as that in $_GET['place'] value, I get results on command line. The $str should contain that string. But that $str is comming empty.

also, be sure to extract only good (friendly) stuff from the user input with a regex or something

don't use backticks? +_+

nix the backticks

then ? How do I execute the command and get the results ?

but it takes alot of functions to get what passthru returns

exec

ob_start(); passthru($cmd); $str = ob_get_contents(); ob_end_clean();

I have an algorithm that produces 4 totally unique 10-digit numbers each time the script is run then adds them all to a database and if they are used it stops script execution. This is to prevent automatic browser refreshers.

ok, thanks

exec($cmd, $return); iirc

shell_Exec is my favorite

oh damn, i've been using that all this time

I hate highres images, they allways fuckup my browser

.oO{ why doesn't shell_exec take individual arguments to the command? }
you using lynx or something?

lynx wouldn't have a problem

shell_Exec does just that, executes the command with a shell
and so does all other functions

but it does not take individual arguments to the command
it takes a single string

true

hello

run_stuff( 'ls', '-al' ); # for example

but it is up to the shell to break out the parameters

look, no quoting needed

how can I find out the hostname of the computer where a script is running?

that's the point... letting the shell do it makes the user passing | or & very unsafe

RedShift-, check _SERVER

Hello

it's from the commandline

f00li5h, well, if you have a method that bypasses the shell, let me know

there isn't one, that's my point

I would only allow it by using a pre-set of commands

I knew that

preset what now?

switch ($switch) { case 'ls': $cmd = 'ls -hal'; break; ..etc.. }

if you need arguments, php got not just one, but two functions that deals with this precise situation

run_stuff( 'ls', '-al', $_GET['user_input'] ); # this should be safe

exactly, so don't :-]

about 10 feet to your left, you'll see my point

-_-

i want to finish and release my forum but i have nowhere to host an update server

run_stuff is to external execution as prepared queries with placeholders are to database queries
update server?

meh, it's small
but saves people going to my site every few weeks to get an update

you could end this mess by writing a new function for this job and send it to a dev

http://update.yourdomain.com/

1. i don't have a domain 2. if it did i dont have anywhere to point it to XD

i happen to know (be) a cheap hosting company

3. i don't have any internet money

try free add-ads-to-my-site servers

i don't trust free web hosts with something like that
they edit the phz file and replace a file with a backdoor one, everyone goes to update

THEN YOU HAVE NOWHERE TO HOST YOU

i should get a wireless router, then buy a laptop and hide it under a couch

you can't pay $70/year for hosting, but you're going to get a lappy and a wifi card to leave at someone else's house

Domains / hosting is cheap now

i have no way to get my money onto the internet

how hard have you tried?

i don't try

...

there you go, that's why YOU FAIL

I don't need the money on them internets for my hosting. I just pay the paper bill every year.

hey

not just hosted on your ADSL then?

Yeah, right.

I have never paid for hosting in my life.

anyone good at finding exploits?

Yet I own 3 sites

your unit tests should be

yes, unit tests

well, apart from DoSing my dialup, http://sausage.no-ip.org:88/dev/FORUM010/ if anyone wants to try

ahahahaha L3

there was a php command that echos a variable
something along the lines of %=

=$var?
=function()?

$var

WOAH!

WHAT!

That needs to be downsized stat.

what?
downsize as in...

aint no down sizing /this/
!!

The text is mammoth

never do that.

sorry ._.

if you don't like it and want to go blind
make your fonts smaller _

php print .... ?
do not use and =

= isnt a short_tag right?

it is, and it is discouraged from use

MikeSeth why not

i thought and % were

There was somentone here, that developed a flat-forum, with the home-made encryption and plain-text passwords. I was so happy, I could hit him with a baseball bat.

because it will go away in PHP6

i have lots of data to output to different parts of a table

php6 sucks anyway XD

It does?

= is easier to use

is there a factoid on short tags?

TehSausage; a word of advice though seriously, don't follow phpBB & Invision's path by adding big bulky useless crap. Keep it nice and simple.

!+short tags

Short tags are or %, and should never be used. They are scheduled for removal from PHP6, and are configuration dependant. Use php, period.

i didnt add anything useless

you ze man

hell, i havent even implemented an edit page yet theres no time XD

still work

No.

=$var?

My forum is only 500 lines long total. It is fully developed with admin controls and the works...

NO, php print $var; ?

mine is made to be easy to make though

php= was discusssed for inclusion in PHP6, but was dropped.

heres afew lines from somewhere

ok fine!

Those tags are so crap.

$forum-Forum-desc = "Default forum";
$forum-Forum-topics = array();

I think I use like... 1 array in my whole script.

i dont even use that array i think
it reads all that from the index file

Arrays are good, if you know what you're using them for
...

arrays in php are awesome though

They are?

quite

howv so?

an array in C

ouch

I would really hate to be a game programmer.

oh yeah, = is a short tag

They do 85-hour weeks.

http://au2.php.net/manual/en/language.basic-syntax.php

What about it?

just saying, always thought it wasnt
another thing i'm not sure about
using more than one __halt_compiler() in the same execution
it causes an error, but if you ignore it it carrys on fine
is that invalid?

!+enter

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

heh, funny, i always whinge at people that do that

Yes. So don't do it.

well, all my data is in files like this "php fseek($f = fopen(__FILE__,'rb'),__COMPILER_HALT_OFFSET__); return unserialize(gzinflate(stream_get_contents($f))); __halt_compiler();###################"

real men type a letter a line

its easier to just forget about escaping

Real men get banned really quickly, then

o_o

So what about the arrays in C?

I have created the correct command in the string $str

i thought i saw a bug about the "__COMPILER_HALT_OFFSET__" error

Hi there - wondering if anyone can help me. I'm tryin to post XML to a server using cURL but it doesnt appear to be liking it.
Can anyone see anything wrong with this; http://pastebin.com/931244

TehSausage, what's your issue about it ?

I want to use that command. The command string also has pipes.
so I do a $str = `$cmd`;

"This bug has been fixed in CVS."

wtf

okay so it is valid by the looks of it XD

but it does not return any string. I execute the same on shell, it executes and gives desired results.

i just havent updated from 5.2.0-rc5 yet

why does it give no result in php ?

Where is curl_init?

5.2.0...

my cat thought it would be a goood idea to sit on my lap while im coding

im guessing thats where im going wrong
what a twat i am
thanks Wolfpaws

boredom kicks in..
i'll write a brainfuck interperator

that sounds interesting

another one?

jeez, i chose this because i didnt think i'd have to google it
but then it hits things like what do i do when i use when the pointer is 0
oh cool, 'undefined'

Unfortunately my script gives correct result on command line but no result thru web server. What can e wront ? Script: http://pastebin.ca/573930

akhilesh, have you checked the source ?

yes. It works on command line: http://pastebin.ca/573931

How can I create extension that will add categories to a page where extension hook are?

returned.

i don't want to sound like an idiot, but can the apache user access the bin folder and execute commands?

yes, unless safe mode is on then the commands you can use may be severly restricted or execution disabled alltogether

I believe yes because it executed other commands like "ls"

you therE?

I can execute ls and grep in system folders, but not executables my home dir thru webserver.

unable to unpack ... when trying to install pear packages
any ideas?

Is it possible to add article to a sertent categorie using PHP code? Or how can I add articleA to a categorie B using PHP ?

ow my brain cells

you can't have tooth ache if you don't have teath

... what?

i'll tell you later

you'll want to use a database of some sort, see: MySQL or SQLite

HarryR yes my wiki runs on mysql but what does it have to do with cetegories?

Oh sorry, I read your question out of context
I dont think we can offer any help for 3rd party apps, especially when I have no idea what you're using

is there such a thing as "php sessions"? or is that JSP also?

sessions as in..

sessions... like for user management and tracking

yeah
session_start(); then use the $_SESSION superglobal

I really dont want to put links all over my site from the log in page for a mamber (which is what i'm doing now)

if by session you mean the serverside collection of variabled identified by a session id stored as a cookie in the users browser ._.

you wouldn't happen to have a link to a tutorial on sessions would you? the only ones i'm finding are JSP based... and i dont like to mix and match

try http://php.net/session
php.net/anything will find what you want 99% of the time

good
i spend more time trying to find stuff then actually programming
or scripting... whatever its called

php is advanced enough to be called programming, especially now theres compilers too

which is better (easier) for user management, cookies || sessions?

whichever, cookies are editable by the user, sessions can only be deleted by the user

they are for different use

cuz yeah... i'm extreme php newb.... and I dont understand what the php.net/sessions page is trying to explain to me .

session is a file saved in a server

ok, well since i need it to hold whether or not a user has admin privies... sessions it is

yes
session_start();
$_SESSION["admin"] = true;
have done almost all

but how do i specify what user to give that session to? on the loginto page do i just use the if() block... put session_start();$_SESSION["admin_2"]=true;...and then it will keep that info on any page inside the site they visit?

it isnt given to a 'user' it's given to a browser

ok, browser

but yeah, once you set a session variable it lasts for that user until they clear there cookies

j2daosh, session_start() will prepare to send a certain session id (key) to the client. The client will send it back through cookies/url when requesting another page so session_start() will be able to load the data corresponding to the user

hi; if something i am requiring redirects then is there any way I can catch or buffer or cancel that redirect and maintain control within my script?

and no, the duration of a session is not only determined by the user cookie.

well, you can always unset the session, but it should be obvious

will that session follow the browser to whatever page he goes to? (how would it know that browser has a admin session and can go to registered and admin pages instead of just registered pages?).

yes

Narada redirect is a header only

session_start will automatically destroy old session, even if the session id is provided.

sorry if i ask so many questions, this is my first attempt at user management

I know I just wondered if I can intercept that in any way

session_start() doesnt kill any sessions =\ or none of my sites would work right now

TehSausage, it does.

you call it to accept the cookie
and set the $_SESSION variables

what TehSausage said

session_start() is also responsible for cleaning tasks.

Narada your code still runs....until the end or exit()...

only after the gc period surely?

prophile, yep

it certainly doesn't destroy sessions all the time
that would be silly

who said that?

Narada maybe you can resend a new header

i was just wondering what it does with old sessions

it destroys them, if they're old enough

will i need to use a "$_get" to keep the session going from page to page?

TehSausage heh you may talk a look at your session folder

or a $_post

by the way, this is explained on the manual, so in any case, read it

session_start(); will set everything up

its just going to automagically follow the browser like a lost puppy looking for a someone to pet it eh...

you may try print_r($_SESSION); and set some values on it
yes, fun?

interesting to say the least

yeah, session_start() sets a cookie
as long as the browser has that cookie php will recognize it as the owner of that session

it depends on the _settings_

but there is a time limit before you puppy leaves you

don't make generalisations like that

theyre usually right

well thank you all very much for the information. it has been very informative. I'm off to read the php.net/sessions page now

session_start() tries to initialize a session according to 1) the current session handler 2) the current settings in place

i can't find my php session folder

lol don't go no where... i have a feeling i will have about 15 more questions by 3pm today
blol don't go no where... i have a feeling i will have about 15 more questions by 3pm today/b

what questions?

TehSausage, again, php.net/session will tell you that

lol
