Strange Strtotime() Behavior
I'm trying to use the strtotime() function to manage sessions. But I
get the following
<?php
print(time() . " - " . strtotime("+1 hour"));
?>
outputs:
1097380666 - 1097308800
Strange strtotime("+1 hour") produced a time stamp less than the
current time. It also never changes. In other words strtotime("+1
hour") always results in the time stamp 1097308800.
I have also tried strtotime("+1 hour", time()) with the same result
Is this correct, have I misunderstood the strtotime() function?
I'm running Gentoo with kernal 2.6.8.1, php 5.0.1, apache2

$PHP_SELF A Strange Behavior!?
As we know $PHP_SELF is a PHP predifined variable. It handles the current file name and extension. I have a file contains commonly used functions. it's named func.php. Inside some of these functions, I use $PHP_SELF. I perform include for this file in another file called index.php.The strange behavior is, in some code area $PHP_SELF does not return any value, in other word, it does not return index.php. However, in other areas it works properly! So What's the cause of this problem? Is it bug in my PHP? I use PHP Ver 4.2.3 on Apache, and windows ME. All this from phpdev423 package.

Strange Behavior With PHP Over HTTPS, On IE
I have a login.php and register.php inside our httpsdocs directory, that is the root of https:// path. login.php and register.php both require_once a global.php file located inside httpdocs, the root of http://. In Firefox and IE, viewing the page certificate of https://pathtosite/login.php will show our Equifax provider. But, only on Firefox does it show the 256 bit-encryption lock icon in the status bar of the browser. For some reason this isn't showing in IE. I created a blank index.php inside of httpsdocs, and accessed it at https://pathtosite/index.php, and in IE it shows the lock icon in the status bar. Very strange. Is it because the files are referencing to global.php, which is located outside of https? I wouldn't think so... or is this just an IE issue?

Classes: Strange Behavior
I have a problem with code like this (PHP 5.1.4): fila A.php: ======= include(B.php); class document extends obj { ......... } file B.php: ======= $GLOBALS['x']->new we(); function __autoload($class_name) { ...here is the code to load classes... } file C.php ======= class we extends obj { private $document; function __construct() { $this->document = new document(); } } The problem is that after loading A.php into browser, PHP cannot find document class which is defined in the A.php file! The problem is even more strange - if document class doesnt extends obj class than everything is ok. (The problem exact is that __autoload special function is called when in file C.php constructor of class we try to make the document object (all other classes like obj has been already loaded). Do you have any idea what is wrong with that?

Strange Class OOP Behavior
Anyone ever experienced this problem. When i pass a mysql result to the constructor of a class and use that resultset inside that class the original resultset outside the class gets affected too. That is not right i think because my result inside my class is private. Is this a bug? Can someone look at my code below please: <?php require_once('includes/connect.php'); class test { private $_result; private $_record; public function __construct($result) { $this->_result = $result; } public function show() { while($this->_record = mysql_fetch_array($this->_result)) { echo $this->_record['name'].'<br />' } } } # usage # sql statement dat artikels ophaald uit cartal database $SQL = "SELECT * FROM test_table"; # uitvoeren van dit statement $RESULT = mysql_query($SQL,$conn); $t = new test($RESULT); $t->show(); // mysql_data_seek($RESULT,0);..

Strange PHP_SELF Behavior
I am migrating a self-made CMS app from one linux server to another and i am getting very strange PHP_SELF behavior on the new server. This app uses SEF URLs like http://domain.com/index.php/title/4/ (4 being the id) When i use PHP_SELF in all the server but the new one i get as an answer "/index.php/title/4/". When i use it on the new server, i get "/title/4/"!!!!!!! I am at a loss here. What could be triggering such a change? What parameter should i change in the new server's config? For info purposes, i'll attach the PHPInfo for both servers: the working one and the new, not working one: NOT working server: http://new.microcar.es/phpinfo.php (PHP v4.3.11, Apache 1.3) working server: http://www.microcar.es/phpinfo.php (PHP v4.3.10, Apache 2.0) Hint: You could try http://new.microcar.es/phpinfo.php/title/4/ and see the result for yourself. last info: i tried under another 1.3 server and it works well.

$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] Strange Behavior.
I'm having trouble with referring a page across my site. My php uses a switch statement to see which action to use (if any): if(!empty($action_get)) { switch ($action_get) { case 'student_unassign': header('Location: ' . ERROR_FILE . '?error_id=2'); exit; break; default: header('Location: ' . ERROR_FILE . '?error_id=2'); exit; break; } } These two cases produce different results on the error.php page (defined as a constant for ERROR_FILE) I split out the referer array: $ref = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']; $ref_arr = explode("/", $ref); $ref_count = count($ref_arr); $ref_url = $ref_arr[$ref_count-1]; and use $ref_url to display the referring page. case 'student_unassign': correctly displays where it's from (students.php) default: all the values are blank. Any idea what is causing this / how to fix it? Effectively I'm trying to positively validate the $action_get variable, and if it's not 'student_unassign', then redirect to the error.php page, creating a link for the user to return to the correct ("students.php") page.

Strange File Upload Behavior
I was having permission problems, so I'm using a test file to make sure uploading works. upload.php successfully uploads a file to the images/bookcovers dir: <html> <form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" action="upload.php"> <input type="file" name="userfile"> <input type="submit" value="submit"> <input type="text" name="eh" value='meh<'> </form> <?php $source = $_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name']; $dest = 'images/bookcovers/' . $_FILES['userfile']['name']; if ( ($source != 'none') && ($source != '' )) { move_uploaded_file( $source, $dest ); } ?> </html> Now, I use the same code in another php file. The file is in the same dir as the file above, and has the same permissions. The pertinent code is: $source = $_FILES['small_image']['tmp_name']; if ( ($source != 'none') && ($source != '' )) { $dest = explode(".", $_FILES['small_image']['name']); $dest = './images/bookcovers/' . $isbn . "_small." . $dest[1]; move_uploaded_file( $source, $dest ); $smallimg = 1; chmod($dest,0644); } When I try to upload a file using the second php script, I get permission errors: Warning: move_uploaded_file(./images/bookcovers/0679728759_small.jpg): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/chucknet/public_html/bookclub/addBook.php on line 120 Warning: move_uploaded_file(): Unable to move '/tmp/phpw93I5U' to './images/bookcovers/0679728759_small.jpg' in /home/chucknet/public_html/bookclub/addBook.php on line 120 I'm really at a loss as to what could be causing this.

Strange Behavior With Phpmyadmin And Innodb Tables
I recently converted all my existing MyISAM tables to InnoDB tables through phpmyadmin. I noticed some strange behavior whenever I would refresh the screen, as phpmyadmin would report different numbers for the cardinality of the primary key (i.e. one minute it would say cardinality 388, then 244 on refresh, then something else), and it would report different values for the number of rows when mousing over the table names on the left menubar. This behavior only seems to exist on tables with a "larger" number of rows, and by larger I only mean ~100 or more rows (tables with fewer rows always report the correct number of rows). Whenever I do a SELECT *, I get the correct number of rows returned, so I know they are actually there.

Strange Behavior When Loading MySQLi Extension On Win32
I have come to love the ease of updating PHP, since getting used to using it these past few years. Recently, however, when I upgraded from PHP 5.1 to PHP 5.2.0 and again when moving to 5.2.1, I noticed strange behavior when trying to load php_mysqli.dll. I am using Apache 2.2.3 on Windows XP Pro (32-bit). I use the php5apache2_2.dll to load PHP as an Apache module. The PHPIniDir directive in httpd.conf points to the correct directory. I also have the older php_mysql.dll extension loaded simultaneously, which works fine. However, in phpinfo(), MySQLi is nowhere to be found, and trying to use any mysqli functions or its class will yield an error saying that they're undefined. In php.ini, the extension_dir directive points to "C:php5ext". As for the environment, I have my PHP install dir in the _System_ PATH (it's been there for a long time): C:php5. When I install, I just move new release into the php5 directory, so necessary DLLs for extensions do not need to be moved, and older versions can be overwritten for newer releases. In fact, mb_string, mcrypt, GD2, cURL, php_mysql, and many other extensions load just fine. However, the only way I can get MySQLi to load correctly is by moving libmysql.dll into my C:WINDOWSsystem or C:WINDOWSsystem32 folders. I simply can't understand why the problem lies only with MySQLi. Also, when I restart Apache, there are no errors. The MySQLi extension directive in php.ini is also uncommented, by the way. :-) This has only started to happen since my past couple upgrades, so I'm not sure exactly what to make of that.

Odd Fsockopen Behavior
Any IP address I try to open with fsockopen on a particular server seems to use another IP address instead. eg. I open a socket connection to 192.168.1.1 but the remote_addr that the other server sees is 192.168.1.255. It's as if, like I said, the IP address I supply to fsockopen is being replaced with another one. Anyway, this is breaking a script of mine. I don't think I can really do a lot in PHP to fix this but is there perhaps some way that I can detect it? Is there some command line parameter that I can pass to passthru or something that'll tell me whether or not such a thing is happening? Also, how is this even being done? Could a firewall do this? If so, I'm still not even sure how it'd be done...

However if I put the very same form in a different directory, eg: www.mydomain.com/secondpath then the cookied values no longer appear. I knew that cookies could be domain specific, but is there a setting that makes them somehow directory specific??

A Bug With Strtotime
Something seems to be wrong with the strtotime function in PHP5. I've created a staff resourcing database, which is used to assign staff to projects on a weekly basis. The database stores assignments against a week ending date, which is derived using: PHP Code: $week = date('Y-m-d',strtotime('Sunday')) This works fine, $week is set to the current week ending date (Sunday) using this. However, I also create $nextweek and $lastweek using: PHP Code: $nextweek = date('Y-m-d',strtotime('next sunday',strtotime($week))); $lastweek = date('Y-m-d',strtotime('last sunday',strtotime($week))); This has also been working fine, until we got to week ending Sunday 30th October. For some reason, when $week = 2005-10-30, $nextweek becomes 2005-10-05, which is a Saturday. I've tried replacing the 'next Sunday' with '+7 days', but this returns the same date. Is this a bug? Am I missing something?

Lack Of Suexec Behavior
suexec on old perl cgi processes was useful: A cgi process (run by the apache process) could create files that belonged to me. Php usually runs as an '.so' library, owned by the apache process, which is more efficient. But it means all files (even in my filesystem space) created by php/apache end up owned by apache. This is an enormous pain the butt, particularly when complicated by 'safe_mode' restrictions. Why can't the php kernel be hacked to fork a full-fledged, separate process, that uses setuid owner for certain key file system chores: perhaps only for certain newly created functions, like "mkUserOwnedDir() or openUserOwnedFile()"

What Is Php's Behavior When Connect To A Db?
What is php's behavior when connect to a db? I've been told that php was once a dominant web programing language. I've read a few chapters of a php book. I was wonder what's php's performance. Perl was once for a while a popular programming language for cgi. But start very process per one web visit cause serioius problem to system performance. And then FASTCGI born. I was impressed by its performance. But recently i learn to do some php program which connect a mysql db. It seems that the program run's very slow. So, I have 2 questions: 1. does the os need to fork a php interpreter for every single web request? 2. does the php connects to mysql all the time? that is does it need to connect mysql 100 times when a user request the url 100 times? If the answer if yes, i think that php's performance is unacceptable.

Php Equivalent To Perl's || Behavior?
one feature of perl I'm desparately missing in php is using || to assign the first non-empty value in a list to a variable. For example, # perl example 1 $a = 1; $b = 2; $c = $a || $b; print $c; # displays 1 # perl example 2 $a = 1; $b = 2; $c = $d || $b; print $c; # displays 2, since $d is empty # perl example 3 $a = 'apple' $b = 'banana' $c = 'cherry' $d = $a || $b || $c; print $d; # displays 'apple' # perl example 4 $a = '' $b = '' $c = 'cherry' $d = $a || $b || $c; print $d; # displays 'cherry' This is such a handy language construct. Is there any such php equivalent that accomplishes this? I've already written a function to do it. (Like this: $d = value($a, $b, $c). But making value() visible everywhere is something I'd rather avoid if there's something built-in to php.)

Confusing POST Behavior -- Doing It Twice?
I am confused about what goes on with method POST. Here is an overview of a my code, sketching it out: <?php if (isset($_POST['Submit']) && $_POST['Submit']=="Submit") { ---Do a bunch of stuff--- if (isset($_SESSION['Error'])) unset($_SESSION['Error']); if (strcmp($A, "any") { // Verify that a Zip code is numeric and is five digits If (!is_numeric($_POST($zip)) strlen($_POST($zip)) != 5) then { $_SESSION['Error'] = "an error description"; header("Location: thisSite.php:); } } } header("Location: anotherSite.php:); ?> ...... in the form description I have an <?php if (isset(($_SESSION['Error'])) echo $_SESSION['Error']; ?> (Note: The form is type POST). So here is the problem: 1 - When I start, there is no error message. 2 - I deliberately put in a bad zip code and have a value other than "any" in the A control and click to submit it. 3 - Instead of going back to thisSite.php and displaying the error message, it goes to anotherSite.php. 4 - If I then hit the back arrow on the browser, it displays with the error message on thisSite.php It seems that 1 - on the submit it goes through the logic and sets the error. 2 - It then must be going through a second time, but this time taking on the default setting of "any" for control A and so bypass the logic on the zip code and so goes to anotherSite.php.

Text File Behavior
I have a question about the behavior of a text file thats being written and read to. Say Im using an XML file as the database for my little application. Users come to my site and the file is read and parsed and coverted to some display in html. On another page users can add information that updates this XML file. Is there any risk in this approach? While the XML file is being written to, what is its readabililty? And vise-versa. Assuming Im using the standard read write functions for files in PHP, will the read wait for a write to finish, etc.

Odd Behavior Installing Extension
I've set up PHP 5.0.5.5 on an Windows 2003 system running IIS (yes yes, have I considered Apache? Unable, other factors at play). I wrote a simple test PHP that does nothing but phpinfo(), and it works great. The moment I activate mysql support, trying to execute the script results in a perpetual wait until timeout. I have read http://www.php.net/manual/en/instal....extensions.php My libmysql.dll is accessible to paths (copied to Windows as experiment to make sure. My extensions_dir is pointed at my ext dir, and if I insert gibberish into it, launching PHP gives an error, so I know PHP has found and parsed the file. The crux is that things go to heck when I uncomment extension=php_mysql.dll. Trying to run the test.php halts and goes no further. If I comment that out again, everything works fine (except, of course, for mysql).

Stumped By This Php Database Behavior

The next parent id will skip one if it has two of the same values. I know this may not make sense, but: it is 1 it is 3 it is 3 it is 6 but the second three from above will never be in the tr id= tag. i hope this makes sens. It just doesn't print in the tag if it has two rows.

Inconsistant Cookie Behavior
The idea is that the cookie should write the referrer information on whatever page the user lands on. The include for writing the cookie is included on every page of the site and has a conditional wrapper that essentially says don't write the cookie if the cookie exists. Thus should preserve the value of the first page the user lands on so that I can retrieve the information later. Unfortunately, sometimes the page written is not the first page of landing .. but rather the last page prior to the page that requests the cookie.

I can't seem to figure this one out. On my site, I have a real estate listing form. One of the fields is for the user to be able to upload a picture. Now, when I access this page on my PC at home, I have no problems. The error handling and security checks work fine. Regardless of whether I input info for this picture field, the form processor works. Code:

Normal Behavior W/ Slashes
Before anything is inserted into my site's DB, I run addslashes() on it. When the function is used, data in the DB looks exactly like it did when it was submitted. For example, if a user enters O'Reilly in a form, it will appear as O'Reilly in the database (when viewed in phpmyadmin, at least.) This seems to negate the need for stripslashes() when displaying text from the database, as there are no slashes in the string.

Problem With Strtotime
I am stucked with strtotime to convert date earlier than 1970 into time. Is there any other way to convert older dates between 1900-1970 into time?

StrToTime () Issue
I'm using strtotime to get the timestamp for midnight. I have a statistics script for my pagecounter that displays hits since midnight. I also display the number of hours and minutes passed since midnight. $start = strtotime ('today 00:00'); $timepassed = date ('H:i', time () - $start); The weird part is at 11.30 AM it says 12 hrs and 30 minutes have passed. I tried adding GMT+1 like so: $start = strtotime ('today 00:00 GMT+1'); because I suspect the fact I'm in Holland is the reason for the miscalculation. But this format is refused by strtotime. (-1) Does anyone know a) whether this is indeed the problem, and b) how to fix it. Preferrably not alone for me here, but in suc a way anyone around the globe would have a correctly working script if they'd use mine. The php page for strtotime pointed me to a link at gnu.org where the syntax for it apparantly is listed, but I get a no such page error.

Strtotime And Cron
I've got a db of events which have dates attached to them which have been created using strtotime(). They don't have any time.. just the date. I've got a script which gets today's date using strtotime("today"). I use this as a comparison to find events which happen today. This works fine when I call the script from a URL, however when I called the php file from a cron job... the strtotime("today") creates values which are different each time. Are there any thoughts on what could be causing this? Firstly, I was wondering if the cron job was somehow using a different timezone to me (I'm On GMT). How do I explicitly tell php to use GMT.. .but then again.. this should matter too much, because I jsut want to date not the time! It also wouldn't account for the changing values of strtotime("today"). Just out of interest, does php4 and php5 handle strtotime("today") differently? I'm just wondering if cron is using the correct version of php?

Date Strtotime
i am trying to right a date into the mysql database but when i get the date from the html form and do strtotime on it it goes to an invalid date (by this i mean it is not the date i entered in the html form so for example 22-06-2007 changes to 28-11-2027).

Remove 0 From Strtotime?
Like every other blog in the world, I have mine displaying the date and time of each entry. Right now this is what I'm using: echo date('h:ia', strtotime($r[date])); My latest entry's time is displayed as 07:56pm. How do I remove the 0 when the hour is a single digit?

Strtotime(date('m/d/Y'))
does the following code give the correct time:?strtotime(date('m/d/Y')) or do I need to use : strtotime(date('d/m/Y'))? I tried to find out which way the month and day work, but can't seem to find anything that will tell me.

Strtotime() Pre-1970
if I code $birth = strtotime(Ƈ April 1950'); then $birth = -1, I guess that this is because time "began" on 1st Jan, 1970. (although I seem to remember a few good times before that). So, what's the easiest way to find out how many days old I am (exactly, please, not just taking 1 April 1970 and adding 20 *365, which does not account for leap years?

Strtotime Failure
I don't know how I should input date + time into a strtotime function (i'm a total noob) so I tested this: <? $d=01; $M=01; $y=1970; $h=01; $m=01; $s=01; echo "$d $M $y $h:$m:$s"; echo strtotime("$d $M $y $h:$m:$s"); ?> I get as echo strtotime '-1', wich means the strtotime has a failure. Can anybody explain me why? Or can anybody tell me how I can make a strtotime function that puts a timestamp in the database depending on the date and time inserted in a textbox? (one textbox or one textbox to insert the day, another to insert the year,...) I should be able to change a format like (for example) this : 01-02-1990 00:00:00 (midnight) into a timestamp. so dd-mm-yyyy hh:mm:ss (or something else just to make it work)I'm clueless.
