If i setcookie to expire in the past the browser should kill the cookie well my script cant find the cookie anymore
Ok perhaps this isnt the right channel for this but since I am doing some PHP work I wondered if you could help
Random question someones asked for some example php code which i dodnt have to hand however i could code some

I3ooI3oo, there's a ini value

I know but i am getting a out of memory error that show a limit of 16mb but the ini file is set to 64mb and i am sure it is being used
phpinfo () shows local 64MB and master = 64MB
THL told me to look to see if an included file had alimit
i have looked for .htaccess files setting memory limits

jmccaffrey, I used chown -R apache * but it tried changing the permissions of all the files but it said permission denied
Any other ideas on how to fix?

chown -R apache: *
also, apache may su to another username
heh
after being started as root

I3ooI3oo, does ini_set() help?

zend or ioncube?

what does set_ini() do ?

set's configuration parameters for php

i am excuting a script in terminal, is there a way i can get the current file i am using ... $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] does not work in tern\minal

Can I make it so that all php web hosting files in a users directory is executed as that user even if its accessed via Apache?

you'd want suphp for that, Jckf

OK?

lost_and_unfound, __FILE__ try this

i may have asked this in here before but am still having alot of trouble with exporting stuff from my database with php into a word template for printing shipping lables

word template?

yes

why?

a shipping lable template
because we have so many clients saved in a database

why don't you use html

html doesnt print properly does it?

eljak, tried that as well with no luck, nor $_ENV

i am looking for a way to draw simple geometry (like a stroked circle) with php, and i have tried ImageMagick and gd... however both libraries seem to give low quality images for printing. has anybody encountered / solved this?

babybo0m, havent thied it, but its there not a way to boost the dpi in im ?

will html hold its shape through printing i figured it wouldnt print right so i thought putting it in a word template would be my only option

babybo0m, http://php.net/gd

biohazard`, html doesn't print properly?

biohazard`, style type="text/css" media="print"

html seems to work with pixles and size of screen where printing on a paper is more of inches

lost_and_unfound seems to have no effect when i change it :/

SoftException in Application.cpp:199

that will work?!

body { width: 8.5in; } /style

Oops

that would save me a ton of time if it does

biohazard`, inches is in fact a valid unit specification in css, go talk to #css

i do quite a bit in css but have never gotten into print stuff

biohazard`, it's not useful for screen display because inches could be different for different mediums, should be the same for paper though
biohazard`, well go talk to #css

abstrakt yea i know. cannot find what i need there though. the quality of drawing a shape appears to be too low (http://www.collect4all.com/cp/geometry_imagick.gif)

thank you

babybo0m, you're not going to find "high quality" drawing as such
babybo0m, and imagemagick != GD though they are similar
Photoshop

abstrakt i understand that, but i do not see why its not possible to draw a sharp circle using e.g. imagemagick

babybo0m, though there is an outside chance you could write and call a GIMP Script-Fu from the shell if you were on *nix
babybo0m, i do not see why it's not possible for me to get laid. what's your point?

abstrakt what's the point of drawing functions when the output looks bad

babybo0m, to draw
babybo0m, pretty simple. the people who invented PHP aren't graphic designers, they're coders. "looking good" isn't in the specifications for PHP. we've already got programs to do that, Photoshop etc
babybo0m, those shapes still work fine for charts and graphs

lost_and_unfound, what about basename() ?

abstrakt ok, i agree. i figured imagemagick was a quite advanced library but apparently its not

use svg if you want to draw

babybo0m, no, apparently you were mistaken. ImageMagick is a "quite advanced" libarary. you just assumed you could use it for a purpose for which it was not intended

lost_and_unfound, I think that when you call the script from the console, one of the argv values is the file name

flung still the same problem

6, what is the opposite of that, I mean, How do i convert the date to that

abstrakt ok, thanks.

eljak, kliklik , found the error... the programmer... __FILE__ does work fine, thanks!

DATE_RFC822

Which PHP?

php.net/date

I checked.

I understand that Zend is a php framework for web applications. Does that mean that it's a framework just like drupal hosting is?

What's a "normal date"?

I found a to decrtypt the date in this format DATE_RFC822, but i couldnt find a way to convert it to DATE_RFC822

You've read php.net/date?

Yes

apparently not

drupal is not a framework

..where exactly does it explain how to convert the date to that format

I'll find an answer for you gor $50
s/gor/for

yes?

no :/

I'll do it for 30$
x)

$29.99!

Haha
25$

damn you, 'nygma :o
$60. My final offer.

lol

its not in date()

but of course, we don't ask for compensation for things here, right Wolfpaws?

Speak for yourself

sup guys and gals

1180771766

assuming that is a unix timestamp, you can format it with http://php.net/date

i know its a unix host timestamp and it doesn't say anything about formatting in date

yes it does.

Is it better the use unix timestamp or RFC 2822 formatted date?

it depends on what you need.
RFC 2822 is easier for a human to read
a unix timestamp is easier for comparisons

drupal is a content management framework

Do they print out the same thing

if you want to find out if one date is older than another, or what a date is X seconds later, etc

I'll test that
Oh
is that exam for the unix host timestamp?

exam?

yes. a unix timestamp is a number, so you can do math on it. you can't do math on an RFC 2822 date.

Understood, thanks man.
I guess I'll use unix hosting timestamp

morphir - which is different than just a framework

you are right. but you should clarify

pfft
you knew what I meant

hello, i want to download a picture from a site
to a folder on my server
is anyone have an idea how that kind of thing can be done?

"Framework that is not a framework"

hehe

"Then what the heck is it?!? A fried chicken?!?"
!+english

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

mmmm....fried chicken

Aaaaargh! Now I'm hungry

hi all. i'm trying to do the equivalent of "dig @224.0.0.251 -p 5353 _workstation._tcp.local ANY" in php. can anyone point me in the right direction?

what might this mean "if (!$a_model[$i_model - 1]) unset($a_model[$i_model - 1]);" ? trying to understand author's flow, but fail (probably i'm dumb)

if it doesn't exist then unset it? sounds like overkill to me ;-)

I don't know what exactly are you trying to do; You want to make a clone of 'dig' in PHP? If so, why?

i basically want to browse the other computers on a Mac network using Zeroconf/Avahi

via PHP o.O

the "dig" line above shows me all macs (avahi/zeroconf enabled devices) on the local network (using "dns multicast")
i don't imagine it's too difficult since avahi/zeroconf basically uses DNS standards
probably i'd just need to fsockopen and send some "magic" ;-) things

Well, you could look into PEAR if something like that exists. Personally, I'd just parse the data that exec() provides

me too, but unfortuately the embedded device i need to run this on doesn't have dig

then why chose PHP? o.O

cause php is there ;-)
and i just want to extend my existing app with this functionality

given a DOMDocumentElement, how do I get the value of the element (as opposed to one of its attributes)?

look into PEAR. If nothing is there, then enjoy the RFC's

ok Wolfpaws, thanks
Net_DNS comes closest i guess

http://hashbin.com/976.html - is this possible?

I have:
foreach ($doc-getElementsByTagName('tr') as $row) {
foreach ($row-getElementsByTagName('td') as $cell) {
but need to get the value of the cell.
not it's attributes. and i'm not seeing an obvious call for that

Which file is more important? index.php or index.html?
when file is not defined in URL

What all needs to be in the configure line to make zip functions work in php5.2.1?

not sure....
don't deal much in that area

Notice: unserialize() [function.unserialize]: Error at offset 0 of 272 bytes

index.jps is the most important
*jsp

why are you asking me particularly? I really don't know the answer to that. You might check out the php docs on the php.net website. put unserialize in the search box

how do I get the value of an element from a DOMDocument?

Hickeroar, you where the only one that answered. I am currently reading the php manual

I need help with the Pear packages PHP_ParserGenerator and PHP_Parser. Where do I go?

I haven't ever used the unserialize function so I'm probably not the person to ask. sorry :-/

ah! nodeValue.

!tell Sjord about pear

PHP is telling you that your serialized data is invalid
It doesn't contain what it claims to contain.
My guess would be that you tried to insert it into a database but didn't escape it properly, but that's a pretty wild guess given the lack of information.

TNL, well I am running symfomy and that inserts it into the database. I am selecting it and tryin to get information out of it.

At some weird occasions the broken serialized string occured when enter was involved.
Erm... New line character

quick q - getting error Module 'json' already loaded in Unknown when running php scripts from CLI....now i know i need to uncomment the json.so file but I seem to have 2 php.ini files one in /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini and the other in /etc/php5/cli/php.ini does the cli use this second one or how can I tell?

hey all, is there a way to access the name of a array (like i want to do a eregi on say $_POST[*] (the star is what i want to eregi on...)

nope, there is no nl involved

Well, the thing located at http://hashbin.com/976.html is decidedly NOT a valid serialized string

php -i

there is a function to run a user function on all elements of an array

TNL, why?

deeperror, got a name on it?

It's M
T *M* L
Get a better font

oh, sorry - somes up quite blurry in XChat

current app i'm working on has a M:M relationship between sherpas and the territories they cover. currently the app goes through a massive amount of retarded logic to figure out A) what territories need deletion, and what territories need insertion and then it inserts and deletes them. is there any reason not to simply run two Queries, 1) delete all records for this user and 2) insert the new territory data set?

Because it's not. Look at it. It starts with "symfony/user/sfUser...."

yes, that is the class name

the latter method is far less obfuscated from a code maintenance perpsective *and* i don't see any reason why it should actually be any slower
TML, Wolfpaws? any input on this matter?

That's not how serialized strings work in PHP

hmm, weird.

They start with one of about 5 things: a, i, s, b, O, d

then I'll have to parse the string for information I guess.

Followed immediately by a colon

What flags need to be on the configure string in order to enable zip functionality?

ohhh, so if I ditch everthing before the |, it actually should be valid.

I think about defining the intro file in CMS (he would include it during first visit) but i doubt it's a good method.
Putting CMS files into another folder and inserting intro file into main directory is probably better solution, isn't it?

ShaneN, verily, thou shalt readeth yonder manual and informed shall thee become
ShaneN, alternatively ./configure --help
SettlerX, um... wtf is "the intro file"
SettlerX, If what you want to do is A then ask about that. Dont ask about B that you think is the solution because B may not be appropriate for solving A; just tell us what you're actually trying to do.

The "younder manual" says to use the --enable-zip flag, which does not seem to actually enable it. I've seen references to "with-zip" elsewhere but that does not as well

ShaneN, do you have the zip-dev package installed?
ShaneN, for anything you link into PHP at compile time you are going to need the dev libs for that package installed
ShaneN, apt-get install zip-dev (or something similar)

I thought it was built into 5.2?

ShaneN, dunno, what does ./configure --help tell you to use?

!tell nvictor about guidelines

I just had a weird thing happening on my box, all services stopped

alexIdoia, no one cares
alexIdoia, they might care in #phpc or #yourdistro though

after a few debug I restarted apache but I got php warnings
can someone have a look to this please
http://pastebin.ca/613069

alexIdoia, reboot

Wolfpaws:

done that

so should i just comment out json.so here and what exactly will I be missing if that is no longer in the php.ini?

Hi. I have situation where I have a big string that can contain multiple hyper links. What approach could I go about URL encoding the links to be valid links within the string without altering the rest of the string?
the links would have to be encoded only once obviously and yes there can be multiple links within the string.

preg_replace()

Does [[:alpha:]] check string only for lowercase characters in EREG?

hmmmm/window new

that's what I figured but not that great at Regular Expressions. I'll have to figure it out a good pattern to catch 'em all.

why do you even think about ereg?

there is a #regex i think or #regexhelp, please let me know the regex when you get it

hmmm

Ereg is nice and easy but preg... i have to learn it

!ereg
!+ereg

Ereg should be avoided in favour of Perl-compatible regex. PCRE functions support non-greedy matching, assertions, conditional subpatterns, and a number of other features not supported by POSIX-extended regex. Also, the PCRE functions are binary safe and are often a faster alternative.

lol I'll be posting about this on my blog, http:/www.adamsdesk.com/be/.

If I'm going to be nesting switches, should I be concerned what's faster - switch or if?

no blog, here

no really

no
if you cared you wouldnt be using php

Because PHP isn't the quickest solution for the job?

uh because php isnt exaclty for things that require performance down to that level

even the manuals tell you that PCRE is often faster solution. Why do you hang on stupidity?

Gotcha, thanks

To make it clear, it's not that PHP isn't the quickest solutions (I've heard tell that PHP with an opcode cache is not noticeably slower than raw C), it's just that the typical use-case for PHP is such that it doesn't matter. A simple DB connection will outweigh the gains from choosing one language construct over another.

yeah i was just giving a really plain answer yours is more accurate
but god, dont optimize down to language constructs in php that way
that's lame
make it readable
i used to work with a guy that all of his php looked like perl...he won competitions for code efficiency and such but...reading it sucked

Hello all

when you are doing a sequence diagram in uml, it says to "choose the workflows to model" does that mean that any sequence diagram can model multiple use cases?

anyone setup phpbb on XAMPP b4?
I forget if I need to create a database
in mysql to start things off

i swear to god nobody on efnet or freenode knows uml

UM is for fags
UML

I have a problem. I have HTML being stored in a database. to stop sql injections, I'm using mysql_real_escape_string() when editing the html in the database using php. but then all the html gets messed up with slashes. stripslashes() doesn't fix it - what can I do?

yeah yeah
writing standardized design documentation is for fags, i know
when you insert the escaped html it doesnt save as escaped
so when you read it, it is not escaped
your problem could lie there

I'm inserting it using a html/php interface with tinyMCE

that or with magic quotes
been there, done that

so what do I need to do?

chcek if magic quotes is on before escaping
if not, escape manually
otherwise you are escaping it twice
php with magic quotes on (not reccomended) automatically escapes your post data...or something

tag ?

I don't understand. what do you mean by escaping/escaping manually? It's just sticking in \n which is a break, and \r, which I don't want?

I mean, script_1.php send data with no user involve

huh?
\n and \r have nothing to do with escaping

ajax ?

what is escaping?

well not escaping against injection

no, I mean, script_1.php is not seen by any user, is a cron job

use curl

escaping is when you put a character such as \ before a special character so that it is not interpreted in any special way
usually it is a \ but sometimes in microsoft sql it is a '
fucking microsoft

actually '' is a standard

and in sql based regex you need to double escape but thats another story

\' is mysql's borkenness

well they should all use \
everyone else does

whew, I was hoping someone would say '' was the standard
I was about to hit someone

that's lame

'' is the sql standard, always has been

why the hell is ' the standard?

just because mysql is so fucked as to use \ doesn't mean the rest of the world should
why not?

ask the guys who wrote the standard

ok I think I worked it out, thanks :-)

if sql is written in C they arep robably internally using \ anyways so why the hell would you cahnge it to '

sql isn't _written_ in a language

sql is a language

implementations of it are

you know what i mean
i just didnt want to type all that

many languages don't use \ as an escape

what's the difference between typeing \' and ''

they decided on '', I don't see a problem with this

it's the same number of characters
and '' is quicker to type anyway
you dont need to move your fingers

escaping one ' is ''' ?

nope, just one

oh ok
i am usually abstracted from this

Nitro tha CiMien

select * from lann where a = 'esc''ape';

anyway, I think you owe m$ an apology

how can I do to add data to oracle without autoincremnt field using php?

so waht would be the proper way to check if magicquotes is on...i mean some say check if it's on, if not escape. others say fuck magicquotes and remove slashes then re-add them yourself

okay...
well

is there something different about magicquotes escapes vs mysql_real_escape ?

the first priciple you should know
is that you should do escaping as close to where you're gonna use the data as possible
magic_quotes is doing it as far away as possible

this is true

it is best, imho, to remove them immediately if magic_quotes is on
and then, through the life of the script, the values will be in their correct form always
and then when putting the database, escape for the db

so maybe if you are using a fusebox approach, remove escaping from magicquotes from any variable that goes into yoru system?

I don't know what fusebox is, but basically yeah, remove magic_quotes if it's on ASAP
I can link you to some code for this if you like

fusebox is when every page passes through a common php page so that it becomes ...more application like and passes parameters to determine page and such instead of the user going to x.php or y.php

aah right, like drupal or dokuwiki

it probably has other names
but there is actually a...design pattern called fusebox

you don't _have_ to do it that way, but including a common.php or similar in every script is a good idea

well yeah
i really like that method though

you can use that script to include common libs, handle auth... fix magic
_quotes etc.

i tend to write most php sites using that method if it gets more than trivial

I'm not saying it's a bad thing, it's just one way

but i'm starting to go more OO...but then i'll probably do the same structure, just OO

Can someone help me, this code isnt working http://paste.lymas.com.br//?q=6465
Can someone help me, this code isnt working a href="http://paste.lymas.com.br//?q=6465"http://paste.lymas.com.br//?q=6465/a

i suppose it isnt very SEO friendly unless you combine it with mod_rewrite

no sugar in the house!

Curious... Probably a simple answer but, does anyone know why you can't throw an exception from the magic method __toString()?

mod_rewrite is overrated for this purpose
what's wrong with it?

waawaamilk its don't work

how I get the path from my current script?

__FILE__

Method myClass::__toString() must not throw an exception... doh!

obviously, that
's why you are here

can you use PEAR stuff when running under suPHP?

_how_ is it broken, what does it do and what do you want it to do
I've seen brokenness like that before
like throwing an exception in a destructor

Heheh

i always wonder how overrated mod_rewrite is for SEO...it probably isnt weighted THAT heavily
but you never know
for relevance and such

well, the most important bit is that you get the important words in the url
if it's a page about ponies then /ponies and /ponies.php won't make much difference

i tend to basically use the page title to form the file name
i'd assume that's ideal

but then again, if it.s article.php?id=2 vs. article/2-omg-ponies, the second one wins

but if you are using a fusebox method you'd get index.php?p=Contact+Us maybe...and you'd have to mod_rewrite that into something.com/contact_us/
which i'm farely certain can be done

indeed, one disadvantage of fusebox

but then you have to map page names to ids

how drupal does it

i've never seen anyone else's internal implementation of that

is drupal.org/node/helloworld

i got lazy and really did use page names as indexes
which was wrong

goes to drupal.org/index.php?q=node/helloworld
just map anything after 'drupal.org' to index.php?q= or similar

what happens when the name has characters that get urlencoded then it gets ugly

well that's going to happen in any url

waawaamilk, with __FILE__ how I get just the dir ?

yeah a cms i wrote for a bank allowed anything into the name

basename(__FILE__)

but the rewriting was out of scope so i never had to actually deal with the regex

dirname(__FILE__)

but it did get ugly...they wanted some names to have even tags liek superscript

yes, dirname, thanks!

whups!
that's about the time when you make the page url a separate field

what u mean?

well rather than using the page title for the url, have another field where they can put in the url
and be more strict about what you accept there

yeah i shoulda done that
live and learn
the problem with contract work is you cant always go back and change things
unless all these business people agree on scope
actually i shouldnt have written a proprietary cms

actually you shouldn't have done something out of scope? :p

hehe

when it comes to money, don't do more than what's in the scope

i did so much that wasnt in scope
but...it is finished and working
and strangely enough, not one complaint

that's bad
It means no one is using your tool

hahaha
no but they are
i've seen updates on the site
they didnt even hammer me for not using a db abstraction layer which i would do if i rewrote it
but the way they set it up you cant really inject
the public user has read only
the write user is intranet only
now an angry employee is another story alltogether

http://ejohn.org/blog/bringing-the-browser-to-the-server/

http://php.net/magic_quotes "# magic_quotes_runtime is some retarded shit and could corrupt data,"
that didnt get moderated out

why would it, he's right :p

hahaha

magic_quotes is pretty retarted

it's removed as of php6 it says

yay

It did now

wtf why?

Because ""# magic_quotes_runtime could corrupt data" makes the same point without being offensive?

its still there

mirror propagation
ftl

It takes a while for it to spread to the mirrors

oh, php.net is on a load balancer?

Yes, "us2.php.net" etc...

neat
i wonder if i could put any of my code in the forums hehehe nobody would want any of my php

Why is that

although i have been starting to build up an OO php library ...might post something from there if i find a place for it

I've seen some real terrible code in there

yeah i've seen some downright broken stuff in there
people posting completely untested code like that damn codegurus site
damn it someone needs to come take this job in sac

what's the function for showing the full structure of an array? i can't seem to find it in the PHP documentation

print_r

thanks

echo "pre"; print_r($var); echo "/pre";

yeah, it doesn't show up on the list at http://www.php.net/array

var_dump() is more useful

I have a formmail script that's working fine in firefox, but it's not working in internet explorer. does anyone know of any online resources that address this?

How do I get the requested URL?

Look at phpinfo()
What exactly is it (not) doing in IE?

Hi for all!

Err...what?

It's REQUEST_URI, right, TML?
But how would I format that?

"format it"?

As in, what would be the correct code?

The correct code to do what?

it's not sending the e-mail

To "get" that information, as in, to put that info into a variable.

It's already in a variable

What's the best PHP Framework?

TML What's URL?

John Jacob Jingleheimerschmidt
http://127.0.0.1 (RYO: Roll Your Own)

still not getting it...

kkk

That is to say, "Your name is my name too"

great!

ah, you mean the Joseph Smith part

yes

I am make a researsh and select that the three php frameworks is Symfony, CakePHP and Zend

ah. heh. i thought u meant solussd for a minute..

Someone suggest another?

and yes.. it is a nice name.

So you mean $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], right?

quincas-borba: Works fine here: php -r '$f = fopen("f", "w+"); fwrite($f, "\\"); fclose($f);'
If $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] is the value you're looking for then yes

I think so.

What framework you use?

can someone tell me what might cause a php script to work with firefox but not with IE?

I just wasn't sure if it was $_SERVER, or $(something_else)

I sincerely doubt anyone on Earth has compiled a comprehensive list of all the millions of tiny ways Firefox and IE differ.
As for PHP not sending an email when you access a page with IE, that simply doesn't make sense unless you done something horribly, horribly wrong in your code.

Welp; So much about standards

ff-ie-diffs.diff

;-)

ha!

I thought that they interact with the server in the same way, but I guess not

heh

A fair point

Anyone here have a smtp server working with IIS and php.ini ?

The browser has no impact on how mail() gets called, only on what values might get passed into it

That'd be basically any SMTP server.

hi. how can i change the session timeout without access to php.ini? i tried using ini_set('session.gc_maxlifetime', 30), but the session persists beyond 30 seconds...

That question doesn't make much sense

I can't tell why mine isn't work

thanks. that's a start

!+doesn't work

Look buddy, doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. Finally, showing us the code is helpful (after you've explained your problem). /msg php-bot pastebin for more information

have you checked the ini parameters list to see whether that's even possible?

One sec i'll explain.

what do you mean?
when i read that value after setting it, it has changed

I mean you're making the assumption that session.gc_maxlifetime is available to PHP_INI_ALL
