[Phplib-users] Problem with database class

[Hugo M. <hj...@ho...>]

Hi.
I' had a strange problem with this example.

$db_m->query("insert into magazine_user(magazine_user_user_id) values 
('$user_id'");
jc_call->Create_Project($project_name);
$db_m->query("insert into magazine_user(magazine_user_user_id) values 
('$user_id'2");


in the Create_project i have another $db defined that points to another 
database, different from the $db_m.
When i run the second query, gives me error, because now $db_m points to 
the database defined at create_project, and gives me one error.
Anyone knows how does this occur? what can i do to solve this problem?
Thanks

[Phplib-users] PEAR::Template_PHPLIB

[S. <bj...@th...>]

Hi folks,

for anyone of you who wants to use PHPLIB's Template class in PEAR,
look at the corresponding PEAR port:

http://pear.php.net/package-info.php?pacid=168

The current release has the latest bug fixes on it and a new
feature called "fallback template paths". It's like having
an include_path for template directories. Also, one user reported
that it's about 20% faster than the current PHPLIB implementation.

Aah, that version of template.inc does not call finish from pparse.
This was a bug I fixed quite a while ago.

The best solution would be to upgrade your template.inc to the current
version from CVS. That way you get a lot of other improvements too.
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/phplib/php-lib-stable/php/template.inc?rev=1.12


Alternatively, to address only this problem, in your template.inc, change:

function pparse($target, $handle, $append = false) {
    print $this->parse($target, $handle, $append);
    return false;
  }

to

function pparse($target, $handle, $append = false) {
  print $this->finish($this->parse($target, $handle, $append));
  return false;
}


Or, without changing your template.inc at all, instead of using:

$t->pparse("Outpute, "foo");

use:

echo $t->finish($t->parse("Outpute, "foo"));

Re: [Phplib-users] set_unknowns.

[Liberty Y. <li...@em...>]

If this helps, i'm using phplib from debian testing;

ii  phplib         7.2d-3.1       Library for easy writing web
 

Any clues on where i should look from here?

Your understanding is correct. And I cannot see anything wrong
with the code above.

It should be stripping out the {GREETING}.

 ...R.

[Phplib-users] set_unknowns.

[Liberty Y. <li...@em...>]

I'm not sure if i'm mis-understanding Template->set_unknowns($unknown). 

I have a template, say foo.tpl:

hello {NAME}. {GREETING}

and in my foo.php code, i would have. 

//instatiate the class, etc. etc. 

$t->set_var("NAME", "dave"); 
$t->set_unknowns("remove");
$t->pparse("Outpute, "foo");

now, the resulting output is: 

hello dave. {GREETING}


I thought that set_unknowns to remove would strip out {GREETING}?

I checked this and it's not empty :
array(34) { .."Here was some more stuff".. ["REQUEST_METHOD"]=> string(3)
"GET" ["QUERY_STRING"]=> string(0) "" ["REQUEST_URI"]=> string(1) "/"

"/index.php" ["argv"]=> array(0) { } ["argc"]=> int(0) }

I changed the fallback_mode entry in local.inc and checked the
REQUEST_METHOD in SERVER_VARS. It was once GET and without Fallback POST.
Seems to be ok.

Even this didn't really work. Without default auth it openend automatically
the loginform.ihtml like it should. So everything is fine but prompted for a
password it will never let me in (WITHOUT ANY ERROR MESSAGE hmmmm).

RE: [Phplib-users] exessive cpu-load

[Robert H. <rm...@le...>]

If I read this correctly, the admin did a read from the database and came up
with a 23 second response, 20 seconds of which was a lock.  The database
itself is one table with 4 fields with 600 rows.  However, there are 2
indecies for this table one of which crosses two fields.  I notice that the
select is not even on an indexed field.

What is WRITING this database?  What is causing the 20 second lock time?  It
could be GC or it could be whatever is updating the indicies.  What if you
get rid of the indecies?  What are the other possibilities?  Other db
operations?  Can you create a "simple" table and see if the same thing
happens?  None of the fields looks like it's large enough to cause a
problem...

with the site running on average load the table usually
has 900 to 1.100 entries.

could the above mentioned gc routine really block a multi cpu server

How much traffic does your site get?  I wonder if your session table got 
rather large and garbage collection routines happened to get invoked make 
an otherwise quick query run a very long time.  Does anyone know if gc() 
kicks in on any query, or just updates?

Re: [Phplib-users] auth does not work and session only after a reload

[Nathaniel P. <np...@te...>]

I had a similar problem as well with the sessions (although not with the
user authentication), and it turned out to be due to some strange server
configuration where the version of PHP that I used didn't populate the
correct variables in $HTTP_SERVER_VARS

From the archives, see:
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=2073141&forum_id=808
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=2073915&forum_id=808
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=2073916&forum_id=808

The upshot is that in session.inc around lines 417 to 437 phplib uses some
variables in $HTTP_SERVER_VARS to set some cookies and handle the 'get'
fallback mode. On my setup this would fail because for some reason
$HTTP_SERVER_VARS was empty. Check to see if PHP is populating
$HTTP_SERVER_VARS by putting this on a script on your server:

<?php var_dump($HTTP_SERVER_VARS); ?>

If it's empty, you'll need to check the php docs to see what configuration
options you need to set for PHP to populate $HTTP_SERVER_VARS, or alter the
code for session.inc to use (for example) $_SERVER instead, depending on
your setup. If you are using PHP3 or have register_globals set to "on", the
server variables might be in the global variable space instead (i.e.:
$HTTP_SERVER_VARS['HTTP_HOST'] would be found with $GLOBALS['HTTP_HOST']
instead). If $HTTP_SERVER_VARS is not empty, it must be some other problem.
You might try disabling the get fallback mode as well (set $fallback_mode to
false in local.inc), see if that solves some of the problem.

Unfortunately, I didn't have the problem you mentioned with the
authentication... if fixing the sessions doesn't fix the problem, you'll
want to go over the auth class that you are using in local.inc and make sure
that everything is configured correctly, (i.e. make sure the name of your
auth_user table and of your columns are the same, that $classname is set to
the same name as your auth class, and that $database_class is set to the
name of the class you are using for database access.) You may want to try
disabling any 'extras' like default authentication or challenge-response
authentication and see if it works to try and isolate the problem.

Hope this helps...

Hallo zusammen, hi out there,

I got some "minor" problems with my Installation of phplib.
I use Suse 8.2 and the phplib Version shipped with it.

. DB-Connection etc are working fine.
. Authetification doesn't work (never changes from nobody to a existing
user_id) : It never exits the loginform (endless loop).
. And Session seems to work (Entries in the DB) but I have to reconnect my
page via browser once every time to get acces (after the first time the url
is like "http:///?skn99_cookie=02fd200caf3ee5738192eabcceff150a" and my
domain name "skn99.bye.ch" is missing)


I'will send more details if necessary.

I need help or vacation. I'll tried to solve this problem since 3 days. HELP

Thanx folks.

You can use the split container class, CT_Split_Sql, instead of the

[Phplib-users] ->id() vs ->id

[Mike G. <mi...@op...>]

Hello,

I'm not certain if this is a phplib issue or not, but somewhere along
the line storing variables into the session and reporting the session id
got messed up.

About six weeks ago I noticed that the sessionID wasn't appearing in the
test.php script that we set up.

I changed:
	Session ID: <?php echo $sess->id ?>

to
	Session ID: <?php echo $sess->id(); ?>

and voila.  The sessionID started printing again nicely.

What I didn't notice until today was that this stopped variables from
being saved into the sessions.

Now looking in the code, it seems like the function id() is identified
here:
	phplib/php/session4.inc

Where it seems that $id is used here
	phplib/php/session.inc

So, I'm looking for some tips here to try to track down why $sess->id()
is stopping sessions from being saved in one instance and why $sess->id
doesn't produce a value..

$sess is defined by phpSlash's slashSess.class:
	$sess = pslNew("slashSess");

Any tips would be appreciated.

OK, I got the menus back (CTRL-M).  While looking for password settings, I 
noticed that Konqueror had been set to reject all cookies from domain 
having login problems.  Changed it to 'accept' and all is well.  Not sure 
how the setting got changed - I'm sure it was 'accept' when I did the 
initial setup on that machine.

Actually, she's using Konqueror.  And we have another problem..  Somehow 
the user has managed to remove menus "File, Edit, ..." from the Konqueror 
window - how do we get the menu back?

Has the user saved her password in Mozilla's password manager?  can you
try to remove it and then try logging in again?

[Phplib-users] signon problem

[Frank B. <fb...@sy...>]

I've got an application tucked behind some phplib 7.2 authentication.  No 
recent changes on server.  One user uses this system almost every 
day.  Today she can't login from a RH72 system.  If I logon to RH72 as a 
different user (or use other Win98/RH72 machines), then everything works 
fine.  What do I need to do on the problem RH72 account to fix this?

[Phplib-users] $_SESSION var and register_globals off problems

[Serghej P. <sp...@ti...>]

Hello=20
With  phplib-7.4-pre1 session4.inc and session_custom.inc when I try to
use this code:

$service_list_gid =3D "list_gid" . $service_id;
$list_gid =3D $_SESSION[$service_list_gid];

reset ($_POST["grouplist_id"]);
foreach ($_POST["grouplist_id"] as $id) {
	    if (strlen($list_gid) > 0)
			$list_gid .=3D "_";
	    $list_gid .=3D $id;
}
=09
$_SESSION[$service_list_gid] =3D $list_gid;

I recive this warning and when I try to reload page I can't see nothing
and to restart the only way is to delete session record from
active_session table.

Warning: Unknown(): Your script possibly relies on a session side-effect
which existed until PHP 4.2.3. Please be advised that the session
extension does not consider global variables as a source of data, unless
register_globals is enabled. You can disable this functionality and this
warning by setting session.bug_compat_42 or session.bug_compat_warn to

 what doe's it mean???
Please help

Perhaps it was hot headed.  I have several uses who took 'web design
classes' from another department who are lost without dreamweaver and
imageready, so I get touchy about making things easy for designers
sometimes.

huh?  automate the tag insertions and make the script intelligent enough
to know how to rename things.  The markers would be in a given format and
would be (by need) located at the first and last line of every file.  the
script that generates the markers would already know the filename, so it
wouldn't be hard to parse the current marker and correct it if needed.
then jsut run the script (either by polling the template directory for
chnage, manually, whatever..)

This method also allows additional metadata to be added to the markers
that you may way (eg: ctime, atime, mtime, cvs info, filesize, etc..)
without performance penatly to the end user.

Unless you're a php hacker, then you do the printf() trick :)  My issue
is that using a 'debug' mode is for debuging, not for actually doing
something.  This may be semantical, but semantics are important.  If you
want an additional mode, that fine, but nothing about what you want (at
this point) is inherint to the tempalting system.. it's human
digestable metatdata about the nugget.

Honestly, I'd say a first baby step is to generate an editor that takes a
template nuggest, wraps it in a fully valid HTML and presents it to a user
to be editied and then on submission the actual template ripped out and
changes saved.  From there you can expand to multiple tempaltes.  Gen'ing
a diff is easy:
$want = $_POST['sometext'];
$now = http_get($PHP_SELF);
passthru("diff $want $now");

The hard part is figuring out how to disassemble a page and how to deal
with inconsistanticies (eg: what happens when a user draws outside the
lines?  Or takes the lines away becasue they're messy?  What happens if a
user edits one template that's repeated in the page.. How does the
template system know the context that 'Oh.. This user edited the titlebar
template, but it was on a foobox, so let's just create a new tempalte for
fooboxes and not frob the titlebar template')

Yeah, what you want is a complex template management system.  Ideally for
it to be really useful, it also need to understand context in some way as
well (which is ahrd, becasue you can't really go mucking about with the
thing you're going to edit..) and I see a lot of places where it could get
tied easily to a implementation (eg: well in blaware we don't do that and
never will, so ignore that case..)  Right now I'm thinking that php
(much less phplib's little tempalte.inc) would have a hard time doing all
that and keeping up.  not that you can;t use phplib for your project.. I'm
jsut not sure that it'd work too well without a substantial rewrite.
