PHP :: Launching Application

Launching An Application: Does PHP Limit Network Connections?
I am having a problem using PHP to launch an application on the server.
All the basics work, but I cannot launch more than 4 instances of the
application. This application functions as a server itself, and I
specify the port number when I launch it, so my theory is that I am
reaching some limit on network connections.

This is my basic launch sequence:

<?php
$command = 'c:Program Files (x86)myprogmyprogram.exe'
$arguments = ' /Port:' . $port;
exec('C:PsToolspsexec.exe -accepteula -d -s "' . $command . '" ' .
$arguments . ' 2>&1', $output);
?>

Note that I am using psexec because I need to keep track of the process
ID number and kill the application when a user logs out. I can provide
more details if needed, but if there is indeed some upper limit on port
connections, that would certainly explain what I'm seeing.

Incidentally, if I try this same procedure launching "Internet
Explorer", my limit is 9 (instead of 4). If I launch a non-network
application, it seems that I can launch as many as I want without limit.

Note: I am using Windows XP Professional x64 Edition SP1

Launching A URL
When I am executing a PHP routine, I would like to start a page on
a server. Could be also interesting to receive back the answer so
I can use it contents in my program.

In other words as a sample when I am at some point of execution of
a my PHP routine I would like to send to the network:

http://www.someserver.com/somefunction.php?&user=$auser

Eventually I would like to receive in some way the answer page from
the server.

It's possible to do this?

Launching Second Script When First One Finishes
I have numerous PHP scripts that connect to our Oracle database and export csv files. The amount of time it takes for each script to finish varies. Sometimes it takes 10 minutes, sometimes 30 seconds. I would like to figure out a way to have the first script run and when it finishes, launch the second script and so on and so on.

Launching Files Locally
I have PHP and Apache installed on a windows box that is attached to
my home theater. I wrote some code that indexes the contents of a
directory that has some video clips etc in it, and the outputted HMTL
is nothing more than a series of hyperlinks to these files, with some
CSS to liven it up a bit.

The problem is this: when I click on one of the links, rather than
launch the file, it attempts to "download" it (even though the file
resides right there on the machine anyway). In my hyperlinks, I
specified to use the "file:" protocol instead of HTTP. I really just
want it to launch the file.

Launching PHP From HTML Form
i build an app using PHP/MySQL/web. the APP and PHP programm are both located on the CD.

step 1:
i want it to a first interface (installation phase) to be an HTML page.

step 2:
I want it to get some informations for the installation

step 3:
i want the form to launch a PHP page (on the CD) and using the PHP.exe (on the CD)

step 4:
the PHP page send my modules using FTP

step 5:
once the FTP transfert is finished, the PHP page open a new page (that has been just uploaded) on the web server.

my problem is in step 3, how is it possible to launch a PHP script from an HTML page which is not on a web server??

I can do it easily with a SHELL script but i prefer the graphic interface of an HTML form. I know it is either possible using GTK but i don't want to use it because i'm not surre the client has a JVM.

Launching Community Site
I'm creating a community website, and I want the following features:

- members are able to write reviews
- members are able to post classified ads (I'd like to be able to charge money for this)
- ability in the future to create groups within the community.

Can anyone suggest a content management system (CMS) or other off-the-shelf solution? Drupal springs to mind, but then I don't have a lot of experience with these kinds of builds, so I may be missing something that is out there.

Put A Job Application On Our Website For People To Apply Online Via This Application.
We are trying to put a job application on our website for people to apply online via this application.

Got all that communicating and recording to SQL as desired (i think and hope) but have now one small issue remaining.

We have more than one position open, so what we thought we would do is one one page list the jobs that are open at the time with their descriptions, salaries, etc..., with an "Apply Now" button that when clicked on would take them to the application page.

My question is, how could I make it automatically carry over the job they clicked on to automatically populate a "Position Applied For" field in the application?

Launching A Background Script From Php In Windows/IIS
I'm trying to build a PHP page which launches another php script to be run
in the background. The web page should return immediately, while the
background script may run for 10 minutes or something. Unfortunately I'm
getting all kinds of weird behaviour..

In my main script I'm using exec() (also tried the other options) to start a
..bat file. This actually works, the batch file is launched and is able to
write something to disk.. Now if I put the following line in the batch file:

c:phpphp.exe -q backgroundscript.php

then instantly I'm seeing about 30 php.exe processes being created, but
nothing seems to be happening really. The processes seem to be dying
immediately and replaced by new ones. So apparently php is trying something
but fails and tries again.

Both the script and the batch file work fine from the command line. Group
'Everyone' has read/execute rights for the batch file, the php script and
php.exe. I have tried prefixing the command with START /b or cmd.exe /c but
neither seem to make any difference. Also I tried redirecting stderr, stdout
and stdin to NUL

Server is Win2k, IIS5, php4.3.0. Searched the php docs, tried suggestions
but it doesn't work, maybe because they use Apache.

My guess is that the anonymous user IUSR_* doesn't have the rights to do
something, but I can't figure out what.

Launching Several CURL Posts Without Waiting To Download Pages..
Hy there, ok, i`ll get to the problem:

My php script has a function named curl(some curl options and instructions), it doesn`t matter that, what it matters:

$var1 = curl("http://www.somedomain.com/somepage1.php");
$var2 = curl("http://www.somedomain.com/somepage2.php");
$var3 = curl("http://www.somedomain.com/somepage3.php");
$var4 = curl("http://www.somedomain.com/somepage4.php");

Ok, so it downloades the content of somepage_.php to the $vars, however somepage_s_.php contains several scripts which takes a verry long time for the page to download, so my script waits for each page to download, one by one, as line by line, what i would like do rezolve is to start the curl without waiting to download the first page, then the second and so on, it should start the download of all the pages at almoust the same time. That would be all, please help, i`ve lost 4 nights trying to get this fixed but no luck.

Fill Out Application - Pay - Submit Application
Well, I'm working with a client right now who has an application form, which upon completion, is submitted to her, and then the applicant is redirected to a page to make an initial payment for her services.

Her problem is that when people send the application, a lot of times they don't pay, which makes it lame for her to have to sift through all of them. What I am trying to do is make it so one form contains the application, takes them to the area to pay, and once they hit the button to pay with, the form is submitted. The way i have it now, there are two problems: Code:

PHP Application Over SSL
I am building a database-driven PHP application.
Part of that app needs to run over SSL for gathering private data.

Now, when someone purchases a certificate, the domain name is
hard-coded on the certificate, right?

If so, how can I run part of the application in regular mode (http) and
the rest in secure mode (https)?

The domain name on the certificate will be something like -
www.myDomain.com

But some of the pages will be secure and some not.

Is it possible to have something like this?
Will the certificate work ok?

NEW: XML Application Objects
I've just released the first distribution for an open-source project
called XML Application Objects (XAO). It's the result of working with
XML/XSLT in PHP for a couple of years now. Although this is an alpha
release, the concept itself has gone through a lot of refinement and is
now ready for prime time.

The publication of the project itself was partially motivated by the
discussions that took place in this thread (A Complete List of PHP
Template Engines?) which basically sees me arguing for the usage of
standards (XSLT) rather than having to learn a proprietary new
templating system every time you work on someone elses PHP app.

This project is the result of much blood, sweat, and tears so I hope
someone out there finds it useful. I have made documentation a paramount
considderation for the XAO API because I'm keen for it to be another PHP
success story. The website has a tonne of information so I'm not gonna
try and promote XAO in this message.

Calling Application (.exe) From PHP On XP
I am trying to call an application from php. I have tried exec() and
system() and even popen() all to no avail.

Can an application be called if it brings up a window? The app I am

it's standard window also.

At the moment the .exe file displays in Windows Task Manager in the
Processes tab.

The PHP script hangs (until timeout) and the .exe doesn't do the job it
should.

I am probably being daft :o)

Application Security
I've been developping PHP alongside MySQL for over a year now. I just downloaded this application from SourceForge.net called PHPAdsNew. It's pretty neat, work fine and all, but there's a security concern I think. How the application works is in the following manner:

Let's say it's installed on http://127.0.0.1/phpadsnew/
Let's say my browser points to http://127.0.0.1/phpadsnew/
Then the index.php redirects to http://127.0.0.1/phpadsnew/admin/login.php
for people to login.

The problem is that the password-containing file "config.inc.php" (for the mysql database) is located in the "phpadsnew" directory, not in an -os-secured folder accessible only by php.

I guess if somebody somehow knows about phpadsnew, somehow remotely accesses the config file, even though my server parses .php files with php, he could attack my mysql server and wreck havoc. Is this secure even though I have doubts? If not, is there a way to counter this?

How To Install A PHP Application?
A. I downloaded SOKKIT a while ago. I am able to write PHP programs
(a.k.a. files or scripts) in directory c:apache2triadhtdocc using
Notepad, and run them by connecting to localhost/filename. I use
names that end in ".php" and in Windows Explorer they display as blue
circles containing "php". There is a desktop icon, Sokkit Control
Panel, which allows me to create empty SQL tables that I can then
reference in my PHP programs.

B. I have been given an application which I need to install, run and
make changes to. It consists of a tree of directories and files. The
directories are as follows.

1. CMR_SITE
2. CRM_SITE _MACOSX SITE
3. CRM_SITE SITE

Under (2) and (3) are the same tree:

4. CRM ADMIN DB
5. CRM ADMIN DOCS
6. CRM ADMIN SQL
7. CRM ADMIN TEMPLATES
8. CRM CSS
9. CRM FILE_VAULT
10. CRM IMAGES FILE_ICONS
11. IMAGES
12. INCLUDES
13. JSCRIPT
14. STYLE

Within these directories are a number of files that also display in
Windows Explorer as blue circles containing "php". However, when I
display them using Notepad the line feeds appear as squares in a
continuous string that fills every line. They display fine in MS
Word. Also, a problem started recently before this project: All of
the characters in the files that I display in Wordpad are in italics.

I was also given these notes:

Configuration of CRM

In config.php you'll need to change appropriate for your environment:

// Database settings
define ( "MYSQL_HOST", "localhost" );
define ( "MYSQL_USER", "fanpi3_wrdp1" );
define ( "MYSQL_PASSWORD", "UqcLrdKrbdNx" );
define ( "MYSQL_DB", "fanpi3_crm" );

Navigation In First Application
I've writing my first php application and it's killing me. I've been
programming desktop stuff since the early ྌs but this is way
different; php, html, css, and (god forbid) JaveScript all interacting.

I figured out the session management (I think) and can log a user in
and display a <table> with links <a> for the user to select the next
action. What I would like is for the href to specify a php function
and pass parameters to the function. Something like this would be
cool but doesn't work.

<a
href="do_some_stuff($menu_data[menu].pid)">{$menu_data[menu].pname1}</a>

I understand that the href thing can contain a URI or
href="do_some_stuff.php", but how do you create a page where the user
can select an option and have it call a function based on the selection?

I'm using php5, smart, & Firebird.

PHP COM Application Invisible
I am having problem with COM objects in PHP. I am running PHP 4.4.1 on
apache server 2.0.55, on windows 2000.

I tried the first COM example in the PHP manual
(http://www.php.net/manual/en/class.com.php). The example runs fine if
I use PHP in command line, i.e., run it like: c:php>php
c:apacheapache2htdocscomtest.php, the word application starts and
after running the script, a word document is saved in the hard drive as
expected. But when I try to run it through web server, that is, type
http://localhost/comtest.php in the IE address bar, word application
run in background, and no file was saved at the end. It seems that
"$word->Visible = 1;" did not work in this case.

Application Development
Well I am new to PHP but am an experienced asp and .net developer. I have
had the desire to learn php since I have been studying more and more on
linux. However, currently I am running most of my items on windows due to
some app requirements.

I have assigned myself a project for my uncle to help solve an invoicing
issue. He is not very computer savy and I get tired of troubleshooting
invoicing applications that I can't fix. Since he has a spare old computer
that would work great as a server with apache, php, and mysql I have decided
to write a web based invoicing application.

My main question comes about how php can be used to design a full fledged
application. Mainly something to relate to my current skillset with the
microsoft world. For example with asp.net you have to set the folder to
application scope on the server through internet information services. Is
there a way in PHP to create application global variables or does this need
to be done through some ini or config file. I can pick up on the coding
fairly quickly plus I have a coworker who is familiar.

I am just trying to get an idea of how I should plan the application before
I start coding so I have an efficient and swift app. And from my experience
variables and session management can play a huge role in this desired
result.

Application Generators
I would like to put together a very simple inventory program. When I
ship an item, and edit the quantity; I would like the quantity _on_hand
to auto-decrement, and the quantity_to_reorder to auto-increment.

Also, when the data is displayed in a table format, I would like to be
able to edit the quantity field as I
would in a spreadsheet, just edit that field, without having to change
to an edit-record screen.

It seems like I should be able to do this with an application
generator, but I'm not having any luck. Maybe I give up and code by
hand? It seems that application generators never do exactly what you
want, and even if they do, what about future development?

Still, I have an open mind. If anybody can suggest anything, I will
take a look.

Application generators that I have tried:

dbQwikSite: I found it difficult to get it to work, and very slow. I
had to uninstall Xampp, and install AppServ just to get it to work at
all. I don't know why, maybe Xampp's versions of php/mysql were too
new? I still can not get it to generate php code that I can use.

AppGini: works as advertised, easy to use, inexpensive, and fast. But,
frankly, it doesn't do much. As far as I could see, it doesn't even
offer the basic security of a login. It just displays data, and allows
you to add/delete records. I don't even think you can interactively
edit records. Not much reporting capability.

PHP-Runner: the best so far. Fast, easy, nice looking display, has
basic security, allows editing records. Still does not seem to have
the basic functionallity I'm looking for.

Other app generators that I have looked at, but not tried:

PHP-Peanuts
PHPMaker
phpmysql
DaDaBik
WizzyWeb
Navicat

Looking For A Php Application/solution..
Knowing that there are hundreds of php applications and solutions out there,
and I don't want to re invent the wheel, I am looking for something in php
that will provide a web based solution for me to add/edit/delete records in
a MySQL database/table that must include one BLOB (JPEG) image field.

It's a PEOPLE application that has details on the people that includes a
picture. So, must be able to add(upload) or delete a JPEG image as a BLOB
field to the Table.

(the Table already exists with some 20+ records and most if not all have a
BLOB {jpeg} field included.)

Perhaps there's something out there already that will simply read and
examine an existing table and fields, then generate a simple data
entry/update type page.

Or maybe someone else out there has something like this, or knows of
something like this in GPL, open source, or other?
