PHP 5.0.4, php apps and zip file problems

I use various opensource web apps that allow for files to be uploaded in zip format. The app then unzips the files and does what it needs to do with them. ie: Gallery2 uploading photos that are zipped up and placing the enclosed photos into the gallery.
Anyway, this was working very well with the base install of OS X Server's PHP4.? and Apache 1.4.3
I upgraded to PHP 5.0.4 using Entropy PHP (recommended by another OS X Server admin). Anyway, I lost the ability to handle the zip files. I am unsure what to look for.
phpinfo() shows the following about compressed files:

I wish I could be as optimistic about your configuration, you have/had more than two issues, even after building a PHP that would work for you it had to be reconfigured to obtain optimal performance.
I noticed other errors in your logs but since they weren't specifically related to your issue with zip or PHP running properly I place a low priority on them and ignored them.
I eventually found the build issue with the entrophy PHP however Mark wasn't interested in the fix since it basically performed the majority of the tasks that were expected and everything else was considered experimental with no real support provided.
You did get a better PHP built in the ADE (Apple Developer Environment) targeted specifically for your CPU (although they are universal binaries) and I included some modules I wrote myself that provide some (IMHO) key functionality for a production web service like scanning uploaded files for viruses and the ability to generate RRDTool graphs natively without slowing the process down by having to rely on external resources.
While I have thoroughly tested the modules I wrote, I have not had the time (or the help) to write proper documentation for them so I might later provide some sample PHP scripts since they are fairly simple to implement.
The biggest problem I saw was that you had a lot of nice toys but none of them were designed to work smoothly together and the entrophy PHP is a good alternative for someone who needs more than what apple provides but isn't capable of generating something that integrates well in the environment.
Also to note, the entrophy (or Server Logistics) PHP is an all-purpose/general-purpose solution and isn't ever going to be optimal for any specific architecture due to the build process which is why the one I provided works significantly better, it was built specifically for both architectures individually then combined into a single binary giving you the ultimate performer for either architecture without sacraficing performance or degrading functionality.
I tend to use as much Apple provided software as I can since it makes no sense to me to build and install any software that is already available and built specifically for the environment other than to waste disk space, freetype is a good example, any that is provided will never include the same features and functionality as the apple provided installation yet all PHP makers seem to build the basic bare-bones freetype and build their PHP off of it expecting to achieve the same feature-rich functionality which it clearly isn't capable of.
They also include a lot of features which are never used and I have removed and/or substituted some of these in an attempt to provide a more usefull set of features and functionality and I include a very complete pear installation which also contains just about every feature and functionality you would ever require without providing anything that that would be considered fluff.
I've been watching the performance of the installation for a couple of days now and I'm more than satified that it's a solid performer for you so smile and enjoy, santa was nice to you this year.

  • Website image and zip file download links not working in Dreamweaver Air application

    Hi
    I have successfully created and AIR app for an existing business website using the Dreamweaver AIR Extension. The site works very well in all respects except for the part where we have high resolution images and zip files available for download. The download links refuse to do anything, and right-click (PC) / ctl-click (Mac) does nto work either.
    I suspect this may be an AIR sandbox/security issue but am I correct and what can I do to fix it?
    Thanks in advance for any assistance you may be able to give.

    I am now facing the same problem. I wrote a servlet .
    code like this
             response = (HttpServletResponse) faces.getExternalContext().getResponse();
             response.setContentType("application/x-download");
             String agent = request.getHeader("USER-AGENT");
             boolean isIE=false;            
            if (null != agent && agent.indexOf("MSIE")!=-1) { 
                isIE=true;
            if (isIE) {

           in.close();
           os.close();
    and i open a new window refer to above jsp ,also i set a breakPoint at os.close(),the program has passed through,but nothing happened in the window.
    If i use IE or FF ,the browser will open a small window to allow me select whether open or  save the file.So can anybody give me some advice.Is it because air using webkit engine and the engine does not do this kind of job?
            Thanks.

  • Problem in tutorial and zip file. can anyone file it or correct it..

    hi jdev experts,
    am using jdev11.1.1.5.0.
    when am new to these webservice. i followed this tutorial
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E18941_01/tutorials/jdtut_11r2_14/jdtut_11r2_14.html
    url wsdl link when use that wsdl.
    throws some error.
    what is the reason john says. ok at second post of the thread.
    Consuming a Web Service from a Web Page
    so if i change the wsdl means and somethings has to be changed in tutorial steps.
    if any newbie crossing this tutorials feels very difficult to work. so can change the wsdl url link and those steps.
    and another thing I installed 11.1.2.0 and download that zip file in that tutorial and i run throws the same error.
    so. problem in tutorial and zip file. can anyone file or correct..
    i think think this is the right place to tell this. or else re-direct me.

    this is to arun.
    As the exception stack clearly mentions that the endpoint is moved, it is up to the users to make use of any other webservice.trace says link is moved i know.
    thing am here is:
    please make note on that tutorials.

  • How do I recover a .app and its file contents after osx "click and hold" "hit x button" delete

    How do I recover a .app and its file contents after osx "click and hold" "hit x button" delete.
    Accidently deleted rapidweaver and all of its content and paid plugins with it. all contain in its package contents. how do i restore.  I tried using recovery software.

    It is possible that you inadvertently corrupted the file while doing the edit.
    But it could also be possible that you moved the file? For iMovie to see it, it should be in the Movies/iMovie Projects folder.

  • Hello I recently downloaded an app on my iphone 4s - Remote mouse- so i can control my laptop that is connected to my tv, it used to work fine and now the connection fails, I downloaded another app and the same problem occurs, its not the firewall

    Hello I recently downloaded an app on my iphone 4s - Remote mouse- so i can control my laptop that is connected to my tv, it used to work fine and now the connection fails, I downloaded another app and the same problem occurs, its not the firewall and both phone and laptop are conected to the same wifi, i also tried to connect it manually with the ip address and still no connection, can you help??

    Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
    Then reset: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go.(No data loss) Try it again.

  • Problem with Java and Zip Files

    Hello there everyone. I have a problem with trying to zip up directories with empty folders in them. They zip fine with my code, but according to winzip, the number of files in the archive is incorrect. It's supposed to have a total of 288 files in it, but when it's zipped up, it only says 284. I mention specifically the "empty directories" note because the zipping works fine without empty folders.
    Below is the code for the zip method:
    public static void zip(File[] list, File zipfile, File zipRoot)
         throws IOException {
          if (!zipfile.exists()) {
                   zipfile.createNewFile();
              else if (!zipfile.isFile()) {
                   throw new IOException("The zip file, " + zipfile.getAbsolutePath()
                             + " is not a file.");
              if (list.length == 0) {
                  LOG.error("The list of files to zip up is empty.");
              for (int i = 0; i < list.length; i++) {
                   if (!list.exists()) {
                        throw new IOException("The file or directory, " + list[i].getAbsolutePath()
                                  + " does not exist.");
              FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(zipfile);
              ZipOutputStream zos = new ZipOutputStream(fos);
              for (int i = 0; i < list.length; i++) {
                   if (LOG.isDebugEnabled())
                        LOG.debug(i + ": " + list[i].getName());
                   String entryName = getRelativeName(list[i], zipRoot);
                   if (list[i].isDirectory()){
                        if (list[i].listFiles().length == 0){
                             ZipEntry entry = new ZipEntry(entryName + "/");
                             zos.putNextEntry(entry);
                   else {
                        ZipEntry ze = new ZipEntry(entryName);
                        zos.putNextEntry(ze);
                        byte[] buffer = new byte[8096];
                        FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(list[i]);
                        int read = 0;
                        read = fis.read(buffer);
                        if (LOG.isDebugEnabled())
                        LOG.debug("\tFound " + read + " bytes.");
                        if (read == -1){
                             //empty file, but add it for preservation.
                             //zos.write(buffer,0,0);
                        while (read != -1) {
                             zos.write(buffer, 0, read);
                             read = fis.read(buffer);
                        fis.close();
                        zos.closeEntry();
              zos.close();
    The files look like they're there, but I need the system to be able to determine the number correctly. 
    Here's the interesting thing:  It zips the files, and then when I use the size() method for zip files in java, it says 284 files.  But when I unzip, it says 288 again.  It's like there's files missing when compressed, but when decompressed, they return.  Note that the files are actually there.  If I open the archive in a third party app such as Winzip AND Winrar AND IZarc, they all show 288 files.  Any idea what would make the number of files appear incorrectly in a zip file when zipped by java with the code above?  Thanks in advance.

    I figured out the problem. When zipping files in windows using winzip, it doesn't explicitly count folders as a "file/folder" as a file in itself. It will create the folders for files to go in, but the folder itself will not be 'counted' when you query the info of the file itself. You have more control of the zip file in java, and can count the folder as a file or not.

  • HOW DO I UNZIP AND ZIP FILES

    This Mac uses 10.5.8 and apparently will not open .zip files that come to it nor can my bookkeeper zip excel sheets to email to me.
    Anybody? Please?
    Bill

    Hi Bill,
    What happens when you double click on a zip file? It should decompress.
    If not... The Unarchiver 2.6 will do...

    To zip a file, right click or control+click on a file, choose compress.

    Do i need to make above changes even if i decide to Start my Weblogic Server

    If i run WLS5.1 from Start Menu.. do i need to make any specific changes in

    I read the installation doc but i got quite confused with that as i am new

    There is another problem that i am facing..it not related to WLS Start

  • Need help with easy script for open / close app and move files

    Hi,
    I'm not a scripter.. never done anything special perhaps more complicated than /shutdown -s on cmd..
    I actually learned ASCII C language on university but never used it in real.
    I'm trying to create a basic script that perhaps you could help me or guide me how to do it..
    The commands are
    1) Close a running app (end task it or force kill it, I prefer end task it)
    2) delete files from x location
    3) run .exe app from y location
    4) close that running app 
    5) move files from z to y
    Perhaps adding few "wait few seconds" commands in between each, so the apps will launch successfully..
    My first question will be whats the easiest script language to do that?
    I tried VBScript but couldn't find commands for open or close apps.. also for controlling files..
    And what commands can do that? I could google them up for better understanding no need for rough guide
    And lastly, does it too hard? If it takes more than hour to make it (learn and process) than it ain't worth it..
    Thanks alot ahead!
    Jordan.

    hmm 2 questions:
    1) taskkill.exe causing me access deny error.. I used "taskkill.exe /IM softwarename.exe"
    how do I get permission or something to fix that?
    2) on the "move" command..
    First, its a "copy" instead.. but I easily figured that out.. 
    but more important is that I want to copy a folder.. with unknown list of way too long files and sub folders..
    and all I see is ability to move a file..
    Is this possible?
    Thanks

  • Name zip file and zipped file in File Receiver

    Dear experts,
    I have a "RFC to File"-scenario. So I have a File Receiver and the received XML needs to be zipped. I have a XSLT mapping that hands over a dynamic file name to the File Receiver. Now when I use the PayloadZipBean my resulting ZIP-file gets the dynamic name. But the zipped XML gets the name "untitled.xml". But I also want the zipped file to get the dynamic name!
    I had a look at Stefan Grube's blog /people/stefan.grube/blog/2007/02/20/working-with-the-payloadzipbean-module-of-the-xi-adapter-framework
    and also at the WIKI http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/XI/Adapter%20Module%20PI%207.0%20Set%20Attachment%20Name?bc=true
    Do you know if there is any way I can avoid writing my own adapter module? I would like to stay with SAP standard modules!
    If not, will the module described in that WIKI also work with a File Receiver instead of a Mail Receiver? (I think it should)
    Thank you for any ideas and best regards,
    Peter

    Hello Amit, Hello Abhishek Salvi,
    Thank you again for your advice and the links to the NWDS. I downloaded it and everything went well until the deployment.
    I followed How-to-Guide: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/c0b39e65-981e-2b10-1c9c-fc3f8e6747fa?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true
    Then I got the error: The DOCTYPE declaration in the ejb-jar.xml deployment descriptor is missing.
    I looked at thread: The DOCTYPE declaration in the ejb-jar.xml deployment descriptor is missing
    I am using PI 7.0, JDK version 1.4.12.
    My local JDK Version 1.5.0_22, NWDS 7.1.
    Could the JDK version on the server be a problem? Or NWDS 7.1 and PI 7.0?
    I used all the libraries mentioned on this page under PI 7.0:
    http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/XI/Where%20to%20get%20the%20libraries%20for%20XI%20development
    When I create the Enterprise Bean I have to specify "Component and Local Interfaces", e.g. "com.sap.aii.af.lib.mp....."
    But in my PI system I cannot find JAR files with the name "aii.af.lib.mp..."
    Could that be the problem?
    Do I have to specify different "Component and Local Interfaces" when creating the Enterprise Bean?
    Thank you again for any help!
    Best regards,
    Peter

  • How to unzip and zip files

    I have a very large number of Karaoke music that plays on my windows pc but some will not play on my Mac. I think i need to unzip & re-zip them to play on my mac but i'm not sure exactly how to do this. any suggestions? Do I need a special program? running os x 10.9.3

    Zip files can be opened with the built in 'Archive Utility' application. Double click any zip file & it will try to unzip it.
    This application is tucked away inside /System/Library/CoreServices/Archive Utility.  If you want to set preferences for it you need to open the location in Finder by using the 'Go Menu > Go to Folder…', enter /System/Library/CoreServices/ for the path & then open the Archive Utility application and look in it's preferences.
    I expect that zipping & rezipping will not do anything useful for you. I suspect that the file format is the issue.
    Unzip some files & post what the Finders 'File > Get info' panel shows, take a screenshot of it with 'cmd+shift+4', then drag the crosshairs to select the area. it will appear on the Desktop for uploading here.
    You may need to find a compatible player or find a way to convert them if the Mac cannot play them.
    P.S. to zip a file(s) select the items & right click, select 'Compress x items' & you will get a zip archive - I don't think it will help you though

  • CD and Zip files question

    I downloaded zipped PC files onto a CD and I want to read them on my Mac?  How do I open them and what do I need to do to unzip them?  I am new to the Mac world.

    As long as the Zip files are compressed Mac programs/data, it will automatically open Zip files.  Just double click.
