[fields], thx

Allowed memory size of 20971520 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 375884 bytes)" This should be the "memory_limit" variable in php.ini, correct?

i got a core file from xdebug

[fields]: you could substr as well, as long as you know the first and last sections are fixed length

how can i see what's in it?
or analyze it?

true true

Memory leak

rjune jep, ini_set should also work in your script
rjune i think memory size is too big, i might not be right but try to reduce it. I think biggest value is LONG INT for size or no?

or set it using .htaccess

na looks right

date('d-m-Y')) -- but it only looks at the day. how do i tell it to look at the date as a whole and check it?

hi

put the date in Y-m-d format

"Warning: mail(): SMTP server response: 504 david: Helo command rejected: need fully-qualified hostname in Ddeveloper\www\email.php on line 6"

Aragorn16, david isn't a fully-qualified hostname

david is set to my static static ip hosting address in my hosts file.

Aragorn16, it's still not fully-qualified
david needs to resolve to the IP, and the IP needs to resolve to david

You confused me a bit on that one...what could I use instead? localhost?

[fields], so how do I use mktime() to produce the name of a month based on the number?

date("F", mktime(...

nice

hello

check out the date function in the manual for all the possible arguments

alex`: hm?

how can i tell if an image hosting exists and if not show a noavailable.jpg pic

What I tend to do when comparing dates is put them in an 8-digit numerical format of YYYYMMDD.

if(!file_exists(...)) noavaible.jpg

For example, date("Ymd") would give the number 20070709.
Simple for comparisons.

alex`: thanks

ain't that the truth!

Still around?

im trying Y-m-d and seeing if that works... if not i'll try your way then (thanks)

np

Why not date('U') ? (Unix Time) ?

what's the best way to make a directory require a password on shared hosting??

josh[n00b]: .htaccess
If you're using apache

ok its your way then

not a memory leak, it's an abnormally large wiki host page

I did that.. made the .htaccess and the .htpasswd and :-/ iono, doesnt work

.htaccess, dynamicdrive.com has a htaccess password generator

it's just md5
you can use freenode to do it

I don't know what's wrong though, I have memory_limit = 64M in my php.ini file

josh[n00b]: Your hosting provider can disable htaccess, check that this has not happened

have anyone here ever detached from a php script and exit cleanly (whilst it continue the process in the background)

Yeah, you could do that, although typically dates are given in some sort of readable format, beit MM/DD/YYYY or DD-MM-YYYY. Using simple substr calls, it's easy to strip out what's needed to arrange the contents to be as a number.

Oh, I just do strtotime()

anyone live near sacramento and want a job?

It might actually be faster to do it your way, but I like the readability of the functions.

ignore_user_abort() if you mean with http

no, because it prompts me for the username & password, but it never accepts the u/p i supply

arpad# / ok but how can i rpevent the script from hanging

Bit generic there, don't ya think?

like most scripts hang until it finished the process what ever it may have been

Willing to relocate for six-digit figure. ;-)

looking for replacement web dev/small network admin in sacramento. I got a job offer from cisco and am leaving soon

i'm getting a segmentation fault, how can i use xdebug to see a stack trace?

thats what i'm doing

you could load another url on the client side

example if you dont mean
example of what you mean

Geez, inflation must be high down there.

and honestly, this job played a hgue role in getting me that figure

alex`: any idea why memory_limit is being ignored?

look at window.location in js or meta tags in html

so someone else can have a chance to get themselves up there

I think you need to restart apache

[fields]: done that.
set the value, restarted apache.

does phpinfo show the change?

Any other ideas on how I can send email from a Windows machine?

the right way :P ...thanks (it works)

lol

[fields]: yup

arpad# / there must be another solution i dont think that would be a good idea

Aragorn16, just use localhost instead of david

found it.
It's been set explicitly in the script using ini_set.
thanks alex`225

OK, where would I set this? In php.ini?

alex` ^

to a css element for a div, the footer vanishes

No, I guess not, considering it doesn't show up there...

What would setting memor_limit to -1 do?

you could try setting a location header and flushing, i think the client would wait for the connection to be closed though

arpad# / there must be a php http trick to detach from that process

is this the channel for help coding php

you could create another process with an http request to localhost

that hangs
i tried that several time arpad

which you then ignore_user_abort() on the receiving script and close the connection on the client one

http://uk2.php.net/pcntl maybe ?

i'm trying to debug a php script with gdb. can anyone help me find where it segfaults?
i want to know the invalid address that it jumps to

that will only work with cgi/cli - i'd go with the http method

is there a php function to put commas in the right places in numbers? so 17000 becomes 17,000

http://bugs.php.net/bugs-generating-backtrace.php

when I include() an html file, the size is wrong, but if i remove the include, and put some text in there, that column lays out correctly

number_format()

any ideas?

thanks

x/s $esp

woops wrong box
testing something

that doesn't sound like a php issue, but if it's just html you should be using readfile() not include

can you guys beta test my stuff at http://speaker219.ath.cx:8080/ thanks

readfile() eh? thanks
and yeah i think its a cass layout issue,

Hi all

who foo you foo

I hope someone can help me

i have a core file. how would i run gdb? gdb php and then run script.php ?

to the div element, it makes the footer vanish

evoxy# / its easy

gdb php core?

whoever's trying out my message service, you need to write a message first
and i know about the xss

i always forget this, whats the function to find number of occurences of a string in a string?

substr_count()

gdb -q "/usr/bin/php script.php" core.file

how?
ah wait i'm gonna try

evoxy# / gdb -q "/usr/bin/php script.php" core.file

if you know about the xss why don't you fix it?

i am now

evoxy# / other wise do

accepting any user given in the url is a bit of a design flaw too

i am writing code for a contact form which needs to be able for the user to add a file attachment and send it so that it goes to the company email account.

bwhen making a contact form, do I need the user to upload a file attachment before they submit the form?/b

cute

do you want them to upload an attachment?

no i dont

then there is no need, is there? :P

ok, im a noob sorry
lol

were all noobs at some point :P

#betatesters

do you a know a tutorial that shows me how to do this, I've done the whole form apart from the file attachment i don't know how to do it

I thought you didn't want a file to be uploaded?

i have 29 feet of bubble wrap here, its a shame i have to use it

www.php.net/features.file-upload
burst them all!

no i don't, i just want the user to select a file from the hard drive and then click submit and the form including the selected file will be sent to the inbox

that is uploading a file,

http://nopaste.com/p/ayLyQkZD5 - its wrong, correct you this code, please

What is the proper shebash string for a CLI php program? #!/usr/bin/php -q ?

oh ok

Dash Q doesn't seem to work.

so where do i tell it to upload?
does it say on that site?

why not look :P

#!/usr/bin/php should work by itself, shouldn't it?

ok

i hope so

I've just tried it and it does, at least with 5.2.3.

you only need -q if you're using the cgi binary rather than the cli one, to suppress the http headers

-bash: ../trackpoint_out_sim.php: /usr/bin/php^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
although which php returns /usr/bin/php

oh!
damn. how horrible.

dos2unix should fix that right up.

Nobody will help me ?

i mean public $pos = strpos($mystring, $findme);
syntax error,

You'll need to set $pos in the constructor.
You can only use public $field = EXPR; where EXPR is constant.

thanks lawnGnome, i was wondering whats up

no is no, cya

come to think of it, thats makes __construct see more important than it did before to me

change your ' to \"

[fields], ok thanks

but that javascript doesn't look good.

is the trim() function multibyte safe? will it mangle multibyte uft8 strings? if so what is the mb_ trim equiv? i cant seem to find one in the mnauals

[domon], basically, yes :]

Hi, can anyone recommend a good accelerator for PHP to replace Eaccelerator without too many config changes?

well, look at APC

I'm having mysql errors while trying to create a simple session based login script, here is the message:
mysql_query(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /var/www/dbcon/index.php on line 19

dlapoint, check that the second parameter passed to mysql_query is a valid return value from mysql_connect

Does APC work with PHP 5.2.x? Looks like the last version says "4.3.0 or newer" - I thought PHP5 was significantly different?

Smashcat, yep, APC works with 5.2.x

http://whatsthecrack.net/Student-Suspended-Over-Suspected-Use-of-PHP

Ok, thanks - I'll give it a go - Eaccelerator is just too unstable for a busy server.

indeed

Do you use APC yourself?

ekneuss, how would I go about doing that?
(i'm a bit new to this, sorry)

i am stuck with using php 4 and am trying to get xml to work, how can i tell if domxml is enabled

phpinfo()

dlapoint, well, what are you passing as second parameter of mysql_query ? var_dump it

$db=mysql_connect_db(); mysql_query("SELECT * ...",$db);

I'm passing $dbh
$db produces the same error

but what in there am i looking for

gives you ?
s,:,;

when i try to upload a file attachment to my server using a PHP form, i get the following error:
move_uploaded_file(/var/www/uploads/cv.doc) [function.move-uploaded-file]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/gamelqi/public_html/upload.php on line 7

heh, "NULL"

wow, it's definitely monday in ##php
major contrast from the weekends
ratmas, give us a pastebin

yeah, right

I don't think you're telling it the right source file

ratmas, have you read php.net/features.file-upload

ratmas, make sure you have write permissions on both the /tmp dir and the destination dir

Cannot instantiate non-existent class: domxml_new_doc

ok, so, it puts out "NULL", which means the mysql_connect failed?

is *domxml* enabled?

comphappy, well, that would make sense if XML is inabled
comphappy, now if XML was enabled, that wouldn't make much sense

...
it a monday give me a brake

I repeat my question: Do you have domxml or not? And which PHP?

!tell dlapoint about pastebin

php 4 and my first Q was how can i tell if domxml is enabled phpinfo says XML Support active but is that what i want?

xml != domxml

comphappy, i'm not trying to mess with you. i'm just being pedantic and subtley condescending. quite the norm for IRC, really. take it as a joke. it means i don't hate you. if i hated you, you'd know :P

comphappy, xml != domxml

thankyou for saying what wolfpaws said

oh, well :]

now how do i tell if domxml is enabled

comphappy, phpinfo() and look for dom xml

*grumble* I should upgrade to 64-bit distro :|

not there

Then enable it

hosting company
...

what is the best whois database to use to check if a domain is available? it needs to be pretty fast, i plan on checking 91k domains.

Bloody hell! APC is twice as fast as Eaccelerator with my app ;-)

Then talk to the admin

will do, just rather sound stupid here first
and make shure that i know what i am asking for

That's not any of our problem.

http://rafb.net/p/FyqcYj96.html

i wanted to make shure that it was not enabled before demanding that they enable it

I need icecream

comphappy, if you want to make sure, var_dump(in_array('domxml', get_loaded_extensions()));

Can you tell difference between weekend and Monday?

24 hours

I wasn't asking you.

What's a "weekend"! I haven't seen one in two months!

but i responded

so if I want to use a switch statement based on the url info, is there a super global I can use?

they want me to pay $30 a month more for domxml

ahaha

http://rafb.net/p/FyqcYj96.html

change your hosting company then.

othere than that they are nice
and i signed a contract

they don't look that nice, charging 30$ a month for a stupid extension.

$_GET

thanks mate

they say "It tends be resource intensive, which can cause issues on shared machines "

o.O
Sure it can be "resource intensive", if you're uploading 2GB XML file.

anything can be resource intensive, by the way

ahh now the truth comes out"We do have a newer machine that has domxml enabled and we can move your site to that machine without cost"

ekneuss, I have uploaded my code here, http://ethernetdat.org/tmp/code.txt since pastebin is being so slow right now
er

apparently they like my $300/year

change "dat" to "day" in that URL

I've managed to kill a shared server with simple for loop and mysql_query

dlapoint, well, there are enough pastebins out there, pick one, I don't trust unlighlighted code

Wolfpaws:

alright

[domon]: I'm talented, what can I say :3

You can easily kill a shared server that has Eaccelerator ;-) Just create lots of references to objects and it'll completely kill apache!

dlapoint, change $dbh to $dbconnect

.......wow
I can not believe I missed that

if ive got an array of users, and each $user has a $user["name"] and a $user["id"], how can i sort the array by name?

heh, thanks ekneuss

hi
where can i find good graphing tools for php?

f00bar2k, http://colder.ch/repository/php/sample/sort.php

jpgraph

is there graphs like google finance?

trying to use the switch() for page navigation, not real sure how to go about it

Go... And... See.
php.net/switch

i'm lookin at that
still a lil confused
is called
i must be missing somethin

break

got those in there

Haha! No wonder APC seems much faster than Eaccelerator did on my test machine here - Eaccelerator doesn't work with PHP 5.2.1 ;-) so it wasn't loading the module. Doh!

ekneuss, thanks that's perfect, i knew there was some function which allowed a user sorting function

if you do not put break; after the statements the default will be reached

got break; for each statement
hrm

idiotben, and even with them the default is still reached?

yeah, i'm doing something dumb I just know it
i'm new at this though

idiotben, put your code somewhere

switch ($_GET) {
but I suspect i'm missing a step

Um. No.
print_r($_GET);

hrm
well i knew it was an array
i don't quite understand how $_GET can help me

wow @ ps3 price drop :P
that was FAST lawl

idiotbe, what are you trying to do dude?

based on what is in the url like index.php?someshit, i want to pick what gets readfile();'d
but so far i'm proving that my irc nick fits lol

watch the language please

idiotben, could you give me an example of a url that you are using?

if you want that, then you probably want $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']

Wolfpaws, hmmm... can I tell the difference in general? no not really, all days sort of blur together for me, i work whenever, for however long, weekday, weekend, holiday, whatever

that seems to give me more information lol
lets say I do a index.php?page=test for example

Wolfpaws, but the lamer ratio seems to be much higher on weekends because there's so little traffic and and the traffic that does exist on weekends is often hobbyists. lotta people during the week are actually being paid to do what they do, which doesn't necessarily mean they end up being any less lame, but still, the ratio is a little worse on weekends

i get the directory names and such where the file life
err file lives
i suspect thats a little more info that i'd prefer to match with my case statements
i guess what i'm after is something like an argv i reckon

idiotben, index.php?page=test to read that you need to read from $_GET['page'], are you doing this?

ack i figured i was missing something, lemme give that a shot vega
thats precisely what I needed I think

Well, that is somewhat true

idiotben, $_GET is an array that holds all data passed using the GET method. You need to supply the parameter name you want to access as the array index $_GET['param123'], $_GET['otherparam'] etc...

that did it vega
thanks a bunch

you're welcome

If I've submitted form values as an array named myparam[], can I access individual elements with something like $_POST['myparam'][0]

posix^, yes

can I unset($_POST['myparam'][0]) ?

yes

If i've got an array of users, and an array of my friends, what is the best way to get a random list of 10 users who are my friends and 10 users who aren't my friends?

whats the function to check if a string is alphanumeric?

unset seems to be ignoring the index and unsetting the entire array..

shuffle() and array_slice()

Chatmasta, use regular expressions

ctype_alnum()

thanks i just found that

arpad, good one

theres a bunch http://us.php.net/ctype

posix^, but it shouldn't

posix^: what's the point of unsetting a post variable?

what about seperating users who are friends and non friends

f00bar2k, don't you already have that done? you've got two different arrays already, users and friends
f00li5h, just get all users who are not also in the friends array

yp RichiH

just use array_rand() on your friends array for the first one, and array_diff() to make the array for the second

*yo

f00bar2k, and why don't you do this with SQL? it'd be much easier

what is the php command to parse out possible sql injection from variables?
?

abstrakt, because the data source isnt a database

RichiH, mysql_real_escape_string()
f00bar2k, why not? sounds like a perfect candidate for a database

arpad; I'm trying to unset particular elements of a $_POST'd array

because i dont control the data sourcer

mysql_escape_strings()

so, just to be certain, when i use that function, i can be _certain_ that they will be escaped properly?

the friends in the friends array aren't necessarily users

GODAttach, actually no, it's not plural, and use mysql_real_escape_string() instead
RichiH, if you're using MySQL for your database yes, that is the only function with which you can be certain it will be escaped properly for MySQL
RichiH, if you're using MySQL for your database yes, that is the only function with which you can be certain it will be escaped properly for MySQL
RichiH, http://php.net/mysql_real_escape_string - use that one, the other is deprecated
RichiH, "real" factors in the character set of the database, the other does not

indeed

ideally use prepared statements, which protect non-string values too
among other advantages..

yah, just read that. thanks

arpad, RichiH prepared statements are only for MySQL 5 and only if you then have the mysqli extension enabled

i normally do in my perl code, but in this case, i need to build the queries dynamically

how do you read a specific line from a .txt file? i can read the file, i can read the first line (fgets) but how can i get the 2nd?

and i wouldn't call that ideally, i've used prepared statements before, i didn't see any major value

or PDO

couple of nice features, about the same amount of work

eh? they're perfect for dynamic queries - true separation of query and data without messy escaping

bah, PDO is worse than just the regular sql extensions

if you have longer-running programs, you save db connections and if you need to do lots of queries (10,000+) you save time

PDO abstracts DMBS specific features out completely... SQL is a good thing... DBMS specific optimizations are also a good thing
RichiH, save all this by using what exactly?

not if the string itself is being modified. you could build the query and prepare that, but then the extra value of preparation is gone, anyway

?? paste

RichiH, there's also mysql_pconnect if you're worried about those 10,000+ extra connections
regular SQL is plenty abstract anyway

if you want to use DBMS specific optimisations, PDO doesn't stop you.. it just gives you a unified interface

by preparing the statement and keeping it in an optimized state. i don't know exactly what happens in the background, but in perl, you can save a fair amount of time with prepared statements. that might or might not be true for php, i don't know

so does anyone know a good whois database to use that lets me check if a domain is available?

nah, this code does only a few queries

RichiH, ok, well yeah this isn't #perl and i don't know either

you just bind the data to the query and execute it multiple times

Chatmasta, google does

how do you read a specific line from a .txt file? i can read the file, i can read the first line (fgets) but how can i get the 2nd?

checked out php.net/fgets already ?

!tell aLMR about pastebin

use the one on your server: system('whois chatmasta.com');

i know, i was just trying to answer your question

im on http://www.tizag.com/phpT/fileread.php

RichiH, k

abstrakt, i meant doing it with PHP in huge bulk

aLMR, try http://devzone.zend.com/node/view/id/627 - that's a better one

The main reason to use prepared statements for single queries is security

by the way i couldnt figure out the query strings
;(

Chatmasta, still not a question for ##php because you could do that with any language... search for a whois provider with an API for the web

and not that one again abstrakt

Hey folks, I have an if statement that doesn't work!
if ($toogleswitch=='0') {} /* nothing triggers this */
if (($toogleswitch!='0') {} /* everything triggers this! */
I'm guessing it is PHP comparing $toggleswitch to false rather then zero, but I can't work out what to do instead. Any ideas?

What the hell...?

foo-to-foo, what is $toogleswitch?

A string.

!tell foo-to-foo about pastebin

why not make it a boolean?

Because it needs more then one value, plus it gets the value off the command line.

well boolean comes in two values :P

Indeed
I meant, it needs more then TWO values.

hi.. i upgrade from php4 to php5 and now i have..
Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in /home/asopruis/asopruis/themes/engines/phptemplate/phptemplate.engine on line 335.
date() [function.date

In this case, it needs to be one of four possible ones.

well say what you mean
which are?

0, 1, 2, 3

foo-to-foo, there is one ( more than necessary I think

Ah, I know.
Ignore it.

foo-to-foo, try !==
and ===

!== doesn't work.
=== doesn't work either...

what it could be?

=!= ?

Rather, !== triggers everything.

uuhhuhu

"PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 41943040 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 12288 bytes)". my limit in my php.ini is set to 80M (phpinfo() says 40M) ... but why isn't 12288 bytes working?

=== nothing.

foo-to-foo, so it's a logic problem

Ah, never mind guys.
Yup.

foo-to-foo: var_dump() to see what you actually get rather than just guessing

foo-to-foo, vardump your $toogleswitch and see what type php is reading that variable as.

$a = new MyClass

An echo on the previous line says it is a whatever I put in it.
Never mind guys.
Thanks anyway, help these other folk instead.

ekneuss, what?

foo-to-foo, var_dump() not echo

ekneuss, i'm using drupal maybe i need to upgrade it?

w/e

p3rti, disable strict warnings if you're trying to run a php4 compatible script under php5

ekneuss, how i disable that.. in php.ini.
?

p3rti, yep, change the error_reporting to simply E_ALL

hi. How can I get the width of a string in pixels, for a true type font? I'm trying to center a text for an image created with imagejpeg, depending on the width of the text.

"PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 41943040 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 12288 bytes)". my limit in my php.ini is set to 80M (phpinfo() says 40M) ... but why isn't 12288 bytes working?

imagettfbbox()

no need to repeat. Now; What are you doing and how?

bkudria, local or master php.ini?

thanks! Will look that up

it's trying to allocate 12299 bytes *over* the max
s/99/88/

memory leak

i'm trying to use the image import module of drupal 5.1 to import an image that is 2M
so i guess i should ask in #drupal
that 'over' thing wasn't clear to me, sorry

ekneuss, nothing
ekneuss, look http://tux.uis.edu.co/asopruis/

yeah. You should ask in #drupal

p3rti, it looks like a user defined error handler is used

it's trying to allocate 40M + 12288B and the limit is only 40M

ekneuss, let me see.

p3rti, error_reorting doesn't apply for user defined handlers, check specific settings of that handler.

hmm..my limit in php.ini is set to 80M, so why is it only going up to 40?

heh. error_reorting :3

restarted the web server?

aah. no

You restarted Apache after fiddling with php.ini?

ekneuss, so.. if i put error_reporting to E_ALL & ~E_USER_NOTICE it doesnt work?

nope :0

still, 40M is a hell of a lot of memory for a single php process

You mean E_NOTICE?

true...not quite sure why it needs so much, i'm filing a bug

Wolfpaws, no.. i mean E_USER_NOTICE because.. ekneuss say that http://tux.uis.edu.co/asopruis/ error maybe its user defined error.

but this client also needed this stuff yesterday. after i import the images, i'll turn it back down

p3rti, I said user defined handler, different story

ekneuss, :O

Those are E_STRICT errors
(with addition of pass-by-reference thingy)

how can i self-reference on the php file? i.e. i want to get the full path and name of the file the script is running from

__FILE__

ta

Wolfpaws, my error reporting its E_ALL & ~E_STRICT & ~E_NOTICE

E_ALL doesn't include E_STRICT, so E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE is sufficient
we're talking php5, of course.

ekneuss, of couse..
ekneuss, i dont know what it could be.. i make that change.. and still problem.

does php not like object casting ?

(object) $var gives you StdClass

how do i execute a process and write data to it?

trying to go from MyObject to (ThereObject)MyObject where ThereObject extends MyObject

Can I replace a specific item in an array with another one?

Oh, you meant type hinting?

not sure what they call it with php

I'm not sure, that what you want to do is valid in PHP. look in php.net/oop

yeah

For example, item number 2 in an array would be replaced with something else.

nevermind my question

$array[2] = $newvalue;

Why do you want to cast it?

when the first version of php5 was released?

cause another object is providing a similar object

2005, IIRc. php.net/history

thanks

the first beta was 2003

What do you mean, can you offer me a small example?

Object1 provides Widget
SuperWidget extends Widget
need Object1 to provide SuperWidget

anyone has a downloadable sample of $_GET query strings?

So, class Widget; class SuperWidget extends Widget; $foo = new Widget; and you want $foo to be a SuperWidget now?
That can't happen in OOP

Downloadable sample?

Well it can I guess, but you would just create a new object SuperWidget based on a Widget using a copy constructor or some such

I am developing an application in php, but i want to have a computer system set up to handle the database and all queries run by a system. Anyone know any companies that could assist me with this?

Wolfy[drawing]: serialize will do it

wanderingii, lots?
or most hosters?

what do you mean by lots?

That is a poor way to do it

ah, __FILE__ gives me the full file system path, not the path apache finds it under. i.e. i don't want to have $DOCUMENT_ROOT in that path

Not that I actually know of what you wanted to do, but okay...

Wolfy[drawing]: see http://us2.php.net/oop last comment
thats dirty but it seems to be the only way to cast an object

Just because some guy made it work doesn't mean it is good at all
Because it isn't

"class casting per se is not part of the object/class implementation in PHP"

how can I configure PHP under mod_php and apache2 to run PHP scripts as MY user ?

im open to any suggestions for object casting

What I mean is the idea where foo can become bar in that scenario is not good design

really? you sure? object casting is bad design ?

so, how do i get the filename of the current file?
without any leading path would be fully OK

basename() on __FILE__
$filename = basename(__FILE__);

kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuujjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sup Wolfy

I've made a pytubepod

i see we have never heard of polymorphism nor have you had much experience with oo programming

Wolfy[drawing]: Cool, using PyQt?

If you think you need to upcast to have polymorphism than you are pretty much wrong

no... CLI for the moment... In libs...

the concept is the same if its obect or my object

Wolfy[drawing]: Ah right, cool. Are you using keepvid.com to retrieve the URLs?

yesh
lemme paste the code

Meh... if only I had time to rewrite TubePod...

http://pastebin.ca/611381

I am not willing to argue with you about your design or what you think is good or bad, I was simply stating that up-casting is going to be a bad design decision, especially in a setting where it isn't even supported. Your opinion of me or my experience in the field of software development are inconsequential to me. I suppose there might be a case where you would need this, and it would be the preferred method of implementation,

anyone any ideas?

use substr and the like to remove that bit
or print_r($_SERVER) and see what you get

I sacrifised drawing time

um...
i already gave him an answer that doesn't require barbaric techniques such as substr()
$filename = basename(__FILE__); // like I mentioned earlier.

I am not sure what you are asking

that isn't what he wants

so, how do i get the filename of the current file?
without any leading path would be fully OK

SEEMS to me that's what he wants.

i need some sort of a server that can hold the database and enable 3000 users to access it at any one time.
but i dont know what im looking for or what i need.

ah, I'm answering a different question he asked...

Have you developed this application already?

ah, __FILE__ gives me the full file system path, not the path apache finds it under. i.e. i don't want to have $DOCUMENT_ROOT in that path

developed the bulk of it

that one

What RDBMS are you using, MySQL?

Wolfy[drawing]: interesting

yes

What do you think?

Wolfy[drawing]: Except controller is misspelt
Your OO design isn't much like mine, but hell if it works than that's cool

What's your OO design? CamelCase?

Pretty much any host will support php and mysql, if you have heavy loads you should consider running a colo or getting a dedicated host.

Wolfy[drawing]: Naturally that, yeah
Wolfy[drawing]: Naturally my code would probably just be broken down into 2 libraries

Well, in PHP I've used to do that. Now I don't care

Keepvid and FFmpeg libraries

how do I make PHP scripts run as system users ?

cron

noo

jmcaffery, we are looking to get our own server and looking to know how about gettin it

I'd like to allow users to log in and have a real username on the system
and have the scripts they run execute as the user who's logged in

someone can explain me what this thing and how i can read it?==http://saint-tomy.miniville.fr

Welp, I've only added one library; wutils... Mostly for proress and stuff.

kiwi`MouThon: What do you mean "read it"

see the code

Wolfy[drawing]: http://rafb.net/p/WCnpYr88.html -- This is probably how I would've broken down my code and probably how I'm going to implement the new TubePod.

kiwi`MouThon: You can't

short of substring, there is no sane way of doing this?

That's cool.

can someone throw a ban after kiwi`MouThon please?

look in print_r($_SERVER), see if you get what you want

Why?

for spamming game urls

Wolfy[drawing]: Thanks. Basically TubePod is just gonna be a joint software that ties keepvid and ffmpeg together.

not a first time offense either

aye, will do
thanks

Wrapped in rubyGTK, of course. I made a few major mistakes in my code, tho

Anyone? Here's what I'm trying to do. I'm trying to query a database, and get a certain piece of code (contained in the record) back. Then, I want to replace the corresponding piece of code in another mysql array with that.

Of course, with Ruby-GTK.

How would I possibly go about that?

"mysql array" ?

An array returned from mysql_fetch_assoc()

$a = mysql_fetch_assoc(); ........ $b = mysql_fetch_assoc(); $b['code'] = $a['code'] ?

KomodoKoffee, so you're selecting "randomblobofcode" from one row, then inserting "randomblobofcode" into one row ?

Well, like I said, that code needs to be fixed up a bit (mine), but it's basically same as yours.

Wolfy[drawing]: Yeah, I could tell

Correct

Wolfy[drawing]: I figured you'd use BeautifulSoup
I'm amazed you worked your way around my Hpricot code and translated it to BeautifulSoup

KomodoKoffee, SELECT code FROM `mytable` WHERE...;

I didn't. I've read the site manually and parsed it.

that might've been easier

KomodoKoffee, UPDATE `mytable` SET code = 'randomblobofcode' WHERE...;

TML said, that cStringIO and BeautifulSoup don't really fit together.

What'd you use strio for?

I just name my variables some combo of I and l

check the pycurl part

IllI ?

I don't want to replace the DB record; I want to make a function that will replace a certain piece of an array (i.e. the 2nd entry) with the result of another, seperate, query returning the same type of data
All in the PHP, not the DB. The DB remains constant

oh

See, I want it to be replaced conditionally.

Look how far I came with drawing: http://www.between-the-shadows.com/

ehm
it sounds pretty straight forward, just use two separate row results

Wolfy[drawing]: I see, curl requires a method callback for writing data

yesh. Which is kinda sucky

But at the end, we only print one array.

I'm actually thinking about writing sendtohost counterpart for Python

Wolfy[drawing]: http://docs.python.org/lib/httplib-examples.html

Damn.

Basically, I have a DB that holds HTML. This html is used as a type of "template", for all of the pages on the site. I have a menu for regular users, and a menu for the admin.
The thing is, they use the same template for everything else.
The only thing I need different is the menu, aarcane.

That is much better looking

And of course, urrlib would offer a higher level, cleaner approach.

I'm probably better off using that. the pycurl is pretty big chunk for what I'm doing, anyways

komo they've told you how to do the query at least 3 times

KomodoKoffee, why not just make an admin menu to put in the database and just use an if to select it instead of the normal menu ?

I think I'm going to have troubles with ffmpeg and detecting its capabilities.

I already have problems with that.

Because all of the retrieved data is in the form of html code. All of the data is printed at once.

That doesn't matter

KomodoKoffee, so break it up a bit.

Wolfy[drawing]: Instead, I'm probably going to work out a FFmpegError exception and raise it if FFmpeg returns a failure status.

You should still be able to query what you want, instead of trying to alter your query results in php

Wolfy[drawing]: That's not what I said

how many of you actually use Komodo?

I just use a while loop to run through all of the data returned.

Wolfy[drawing]: What I said was that they're two incredibly crufty modules, and using both in the same codebase is a bit of a mental red flag to me

YEah, I should do that as well... I think you need to look for "unknown ... (...)"

you want to replace -just- the menu ?

Exactly.

KomodoKoffee, your design mistake then.... put an if inside the loop to test if the user is an admin, and if so, skip the regular menu and show the admin menu

Wolfy[drawing]: Not really, just check the return code of the program and just store all of its stderr output into an attribute.

Wolfy[drawing]: A bit like if you saw someone using, say, phplib and phpnuke together in a script

then you should do as aarcane said and put the menu configs in a separate table and load it based on usertype or however you decide that

eeep!

Wolfy[drawing]: But that's several orders of magnitude worse, given the nature of the two languages

Hi. how can I set variables with the loop count in the variable name in a for loop? That is, $path1, $path2 etc. where 1 and 2 is $i that increases by one for each loop. I can't really do $path . $i = xxx, can I?

chickcoder, thank you

Wolfy[drawing]: But I don't think it's a coincidence that BeautifulSoup abbreviates to "BS". ;P

I'm going to scrap pycurl, anyways. I'll replace it with the httplib.

chickcoder, noone's ever said I'm right before!

Don't.
use an array named $path instead

well it certainly makes sense to me to do it the way you said

$path[$i] =

ah, right

hehe. #python says the "least acceptable abbrevation for BeautifulSoup is BSoup"

chickcoder, most people just see it was my idea, and choose to do it elsehow :P

*shrug*

IT was "quick and dirty, anyways.

BeautifulSoup does what it does really well, but lament the fact that it has to exist

I think I'll go over the regex to do BS's job

Is there a PEAR library call to parse e-mail address headers into their sub-components: Like: "Some random name" foo@bar.net
others enclose in '' or even jsut end in ';'
it's pretty rediculous

$c)?2:3;

$outcome = *

this channel is dead
what gives

yea I dunno

yes, but use parernthesis to force precendence
parenthesis even :s

$c ? 2 : 3));

ewww

anyone know alot about fonts? sorry its a lil o.t. just need to riddle out a font name

there's a search function on pear.php.net

netsplit city!

This was really hard to find on google
http://pear.php.net/package/Mail

jmccaffrey, dont' get cocky with me, i've read and am already using that package. It doesn't parse the 'To' headers into the proper parts.

...the hell...?

look up the opentype specification. it's well documented.

thanks

I have a problem. Anyways, I have a loop, and I have an array that contains all of the code from the database (the template code). I want to selectively replace the menu stuff with other stuff I have. I want to do this only when the `template_id` is 3. How do I replace just a certain part of an array? (Basically, I want to replace only when php's data pointer is at a specific place.

why a template in the db
php is a template language

I dunno. THat's just how I set it up.

in php

What do you mean?

i want to do the same thing, but in php

sure, copy what you just wrote

you can't

echo?
Wolfy[drawing]: Who are you talking to?
So you want php-specific code for that?

yes

echo 'a href="www.targeturl.com"img src="myimage.jpg" ALT="get out of here"/a';
_

thats it?

Nice call.
Yes.

:-)

i was expecting it to be more like http://us2.php.net/manual/fi/function.imageline.php

thats a gd function to draw a line on a gd image

oktanouc, so which part of the php tutorial do i want

Anyone, help?

php.net/tutorial

umm yeah
been reading that
as you may have noticed

well if you know all the syntax, the only thing you can do is learn and memorize all the functions as you use them

will solve all your problems

well most
just cause i read it, doesnt mean i always get it

When that fails, then ask here

in my case, i tend to over complicate things
thats why i came

UPDATE `ab_account` SET `password` = 'blah' WHERE (username) IN ('rockya69@tradeweb.net')
i get an error with that query, ONLY when I do it through mysql_query
when i do it directly to the database i have no errors

did you echo mysql_error() ?

is there any way to call a DLL from a PHP script?
correction, Directly from a PHP script.

yes. php.net/com

Wolfy[drawing]: okay, thanks!

bah, where is argv in php?
nevermind XD

yes.

i keep capitalizing it

anyone here use any commerce components in sites?

php.net/argv

yea...i am and it doesn't echo anything...
i am also printing the query out...
when i copy and paste it into shell it runs fine o_o

does it say 1 row affected or whatever?

you want mysql_affected_rows

Congrats to Piera and Newbie on the first #php marriage!
???

yea

try dropping the `, i've had trouble out of them sometimes

UPDATE `ab_account` SET `password` = 'cc9d5a407d47086f39fdd4bd38725bf4' WHERE (username) IN ('rockya69@tradeweb.net')
mysql_affected_rows(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /var/www/vhosts/iptriple.com/httpdocs/API/index.php on line 583
There was a problem w
whoops...didn't mean to get that last bit :P

dude
it means you aren't connected to the database server at the time of the query

so you don't actually have a valid MySQL connection
sql looks ok, if a bit weird

i am connected _

domon
one thing you learn is to use the mysql_error()

how are you calling mysql_affected_rows() ?

echo mysql_affected_rows($result); :|

leave out the $result, just call it ()
the argument is optional, and should be the link resource (connection) if used

ok, it returns -1 :|
ooo lmao

that means last query failed

but it works when i run it manually _

calling it without any arguments now?
uh.. dunno, CLI php might be a different version, or have different settings

no..not thru php...thru mysql it works

okaay.. through MySQL you don't *have* a link resource identifier

i know o.O

echo mysql_affected_rows();

i just told you it's -1 _

n00bs teaching n00bs, and both will fall into a pit

.. kay, uh. dunno.

Does anyone have any idea why the http_get function (http://usphp.com/manual/en/function.http-get.php) is undefined but documented?

Because it relies on PECL component

Wolfy[drawing]: what is PECL?

!+pecl

[PECL] PHP Extension and C Library, the low-level big brother to PEAR for PHP extensions written in C. http://pecl.php.net

i see. would anyone suggest an alternative function to use?
the reason I ask is that Http::get raises a warning when it gets a 500 response, i'd like to catch that.

file_get_contents()?

Hello, I'm getting an E_NOTICE when use a constant from an included file. How should I reference the constant from the included file so that the notice doesn't occur?

define the constant

The constant is already defined in the included file.

i got rid of the backticks and it still errors out

If you get E_NOTICE, then no, it isn't

Do I have to redefine it in every file?

on line b66/bbr /

how do i specify a timeout when using the http client in file_get_contents?

Surely that means it's being defined, just in a different file?

That doesn't contradict *ANYTHING * I've said.

So do I do a define(THEME_DIR,THEME_DIR) in every file?

wha?

Surely that will throw the same error?

php.net/define. Go read

All my constants are centralised in one file.
And then that file is included in every script.
Yes, hang on, I'll get the reference where it says this is supposed to work.
bYes, hang on, I'll get the reference where it says this is supposed to work./b

so file_get_contents still pops up a warning when there is an error!
is there any way to suppress the warnings?

yes.
!+@

[@] The PHP error control operator that suppresses errors (@foo()), see: http://php.net/operators.errorcontrol - Don't use it. Think I'm wrong? Ask me about "GO".

http://au2.php.net/manual/en/language.constants.php
"Like superglobals, the scope of a constant is global."

did you've read *ALL* of it? 'cause of what you have showed me you even define incorrectly.

ergo, if I define a constant in one file, and then include that file in another file, I should be able to reference the original constant because it's super.

php-bot: are you a human being? if so, thank you.

XD

no. constant is constant, super is super.
!+php-bot

extra, extra, read all about it, php-bot is it has been said that php-bot is me, a sad little man with light-speed typing with nothing better to do than exist on the net drinking coffee and typing at incredible speed. some even think that I'm God, or unhelpful

Yes. I've read all the pages on defines, defined, define, constant, and it was quite lengthy.

how strong is PHP's 'private' in PHP 5+? is there a way to modify a parent class's private members using a vanilla PHP install (no PECL)?

not from what you've stated.

What have I shown you so far that was incorrect?

So do I do a define(THEME_DIR,THEME_DIR) in every file?

Yes, that was facetious.

pastebin the code.

Is it possible to send form data(or otherwise call/invoke) a php file *without* loading it(ie, keeping the current page) in HTML 4.0? :x

ya!
ajax FTW

_

In my file, .config.php I have the line "define(THEME_DIR,'/home/me/development/project/themes/fashion/');'

http://www.xajaxproject.org/

I'm rather ignorant when it comes to AJAX. Ah! A link. Thanks.

last "'" = '"'

which function would be most suitable for removing $foo from the beginning of $bar ? currently I am doing a fairly convoluted: substr_replace($bar, "", 0, strlen($foo));

so you didn't read the manuals

np, you should find that to be very easy to use

!+func define

bool define(string constant_name, mixed value, case_sensitive=true): Define a new constant

yay, got the DDL working...now to get the DDL to return the right values...
DLL**

[domon]: Um... I see XHTML in the code.. :x

:|
nah
XML

Ah! Derrrr, the problem wasn't the fact that it was in another file, it was a typo in the original file!

so ... does anyone know whether a parent class's private members can be modified by the child in PHP 5+?

Hmm... So I'll need to install stuff to use ajax... _

Two bits of information in the one error message was what confused me!

no, the problem is, that you faild to read the manuals, therefor you failed to quote the constant.

you shouldn't need to install anything

Thank you Wolfy!
Yes, but I had quoted the constant on every other line in that file.

Ajax (as a concept) has no backend component - however there are libraries for a number of different serverside languages (like PHP) to make issuing Ajax calls easier

I did know I was supposed to do that, just missed that one line.

the thing i linked ya to is specifically for use w/ php

Mkay. Thanks. I'll check out what w3c has to say about ajax.

nothing. 'cause "ajax" ain't W3C thingy. It's a cleaning solution

http://pastie.textmate.org/77491 - why does my first query not work?

[domon]: What's wrong? Sleeping on the work again?

just do username='$username'
doesnt need to be ". $username ."

It really doesn't matter.

Wolfy[drawing]: possibly...i get 0 errors when i run the query straight thru mysql...and it doesn't tell me any mysql errors either... (when i put say, echo mysql_error())

[domon]: Is your SQL even correct?

Wolfy[drawing]: ya
Wolfy[drawing]: as i said i get NO ERRORS when i do it through mysql directly
and it updates and everything :/

[domon]: So what's the problem? BEsides of forgetting to add something to mysql_affected_rows?

Wolfy[drawing]: the problem is i get an error and the query doesn't run with php

what error?

it doesn't say

then how do you know you get an error ?

How do you know it's an error?

cause it hits die()
$result = mysql_query($query, $iptriple) or die("There was a problem with the mysql connection or query on line 571. \nPlease contact support about this issue.");

[domon]: Update doesn't return anything

i know
my point is, it "dies"

!+mysql_error

Handle SQL Errors! For MySQL, always check if mysql_query() returned false; if so, print mysql_error(). I.e. $result = mysql_query($query); if (!$result) { echo $query.''.mysql_error(); exit(1); }

isn't die (__LINE__) better?

hey
here's a strange one
any idea why PHP is now creating folders with "root" as the owner?
the webserver is running as user 'www' & PHP is compiled as an apache module

it's running as root?

because it's run as rroot?

nope
when i stat() the folder it says uid of the folder is 0

Then you've missed something in your config

also comes up as 'root' when i check out the folder on the server
in my apache config?
it's deffo running as 'www'
i can see it in top/ps

Whatever you're doing something is running PHP as root

hmm

__LINE__ doesn't do anything :/

i mean all the httpd workers are running as root

wait. ... _

o.O

is there a function similar to htmlentities that will strip entities instead?

yep it does nothing

[domon]: hm? did you stick mysql_error in?

Wolfy[drawing]: ya, mysql_error doesn't echo an error
anyways...
it suddenly started working :|
maybe mysql was crashed or something _

[domon]: so your DB was screwed.

mebbe...
anyways...

__LINE__ is a magic constant, like __FILE__

how can I chop the last 2 digits off of a 5 digit number?

it isn't workin for meh :P
when i put __LINE__ it was just blank :/

was it on line 0?

no

convert it to string and substr it

ok
ive just established it isn't creating the folders as root on the local filesystem
on an NFS server it creates them as root
an NFS folder even

im trying to decide on a hosting package to cover my own personal site and possibly a site or two i develop for other people, and i was just wondering does asp offer any benefits over php? more or less set on linux hosting but dont wnat to rule out asp incase it would possibly be of some use in the future

asp is a bigger dog than php

bigger dog?

asp.NET is a lot better than regular original vanilla asp, but still .. if it's a choice between PHP and ASP, always go the ASP route

ASP sucks, go with PHP
(you're in a PHP channel, right?

PHP sucks. Go woth Python

Wolfy[drawing]: I'm not going to say 'b*tch' in here ..

Python sucks, go with FORTRAN

Yes, I'd personally say go Python or Perl .. but arguing such things in channels that are biased by nature is pointless :-D

my vote goes for Pascal is PHP isn't available
or FORTRAN, yup

What are ASP's advantages or disadvantages over PHP?

you could probably get quite a few results doing a google search matey
it's not a new deblate
*debate

ASP is framework.

you get good-ol microsoft support
you get community support

biggest feature yeah

One costs. The other doesn't.

if you got a big, sniper will fix it! :P
*bug

not really... ASP is also free.

you want to use HTML files

Wolfy[drawing]: I was talking about support ..

so was I

But I wasn't aware that the product is free either

ASP isn't free.

http://www.apache-asp.org/ -- yes it is

Even if they release the compilers for it, it isn't free.
You have to be on a Microsoft platform to use it.

What on earth is an ASP compiler?

gooooooooood question :3

Or whatever you call it :-)

I've seen encoder, not compiler

ASP isn't a language, it's just a framework. Available for several languages.

what kinds of characters would i need to escape to prevent email injection attacks?

Don't they have an ASP language?

e.g. like SQL injection, but to prevent a hacker from writing his own headers

Nope. Never have.

e.g. on a contact form

\r | \n in header

fivetwentysix, no, ASP is a set of libraries

The original asp was basically PHP with VB constructs iirc

how is it called? max exection time ?

You remember incorrectly

never used it, so I don't mind being wrong :-D

fivetwentysix, you can use VBScript, C# or JScript in an ASP page

Or Perl, with Apache::ASP

ASP was spawned by MS, and it had JScript and VBscript support natively.

fivetwentysix, default is usualy VBScript but you can specify what language you use on each page with @Language or some such construct

don't mix ASP with ASP.NET

Wolfy[drawing], erm, i'm not... ASP can be written with JScript can't it?
meh, it's been years since i've done ASP, i don't really care
well actually that's not true, i was still working on an ASP project about 6 months ago

I've only done ASP with VBScript

Ah.

Wolfy[drawing], as have I, but I'm pretty sure you can also do regular ASP with JScript
Wolfy[drawing], does that | indicate i need to escape pipes too or just that i need to escape both CR and LF?

yes, you could; But c# has nothing to do with ASP

anyway
Wolfy[drawing], ^^
Wolfy[drawing], so would you suggest i do something like preg_replace('/\r/', '\\r' .... ?

are you testing cli scripts as root? either that or making the folders with a cronjob seem a possible explanation...

I know what it is
sort of
I just realised the folder in question is an NFS share
creating folders on the local filesystem works as normal
thing is, it's been working fine until the last few days
and as far as i recall, nothing has changed with the NFS set-up...

Woof... What? Why using the PCRE? :o It's a *HEADER*. It shouldn't contain *ANY* newlines.

Wolfy[drawing], gotcha
Wolfy[drawing], str_replace("\r", '', $value); then

!+nl

Newlines are hidden (not normally visible) control characters that distinguish the end-of-a-line of text and are different for each platform as follows: [Windows = \r\n] [*nix & OSX = \n] [Classic Mac = \r] And can be seen as: [LF (linefeed) = \n, 10d, 0x0A, 0001010b] [CR (carriage return) = \r, 13d, 0x0D, 0001101b]

*ANY* newline characters

Wolfy[drawing], yes i know, i'm doing it for \n as well, didn't feel like typing out both examples
