PHP - Cloud Server Management Services

I've got some PHP code that accesses SQL on an Amazon cloud server. Other machines running Unix and Windows can perform accesses fine using the server name (IP for Windows, label for Unix), database name (string) and a password (string).  However, the same code FAILS on OSX (my Macbook Pro).

SQL managers on my MBP have no problem accessing it, since I've made the proper exceptions on the AWS firewall.  But PHP can't do any MS SQL reads of this database.

Is there something else I don't know?  Is there some other key information being exchanged that my MBP needs to send that I can't see?

TIA!!

Hi all,

I have a simple mysql table of articles with one Keyword field which can hold an indeterminate number of comma-separated strings per article. I want to create a tag cloud of these keywords and score them according to how many times they appear overall. My question is two-fold.

First, I have elected to do this by pulling all the keywords out into an associative array, but I'm not sure how to go about counting the number of times each string appears. Any suggestions?

Second. Is this the most efficient way to do this or would it be better to keep another table of keywords and a count field? I guess it wouldn't be much more efficient as I still have to run through all the keywords in the article table to look for new entries and update the keyword table with new words and/ or counter increments.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
 

I have a tag column in the table of posts. I store tags as "tag1,tag2,tag3,...". When displaying tags in the post, I explode to have an array. Everything is OK, but I cannot create a tags cloud; as I need to have the occurrence of each tag to increase the font. What is a practical trick to create tag clouds?

I think the common method is to build a table for post tags and store each single tag in a separate cell. But I hope to keep my database tidy.

I'm running about 50 domains on a private host that's going out of business, so I need to move providers soon. The Amazon or Google cloud platforms are intriguing. Does anyone have any experience using either for website hosting?   My current solution is a Plesk management interface. So, I'm hoping to install the same wherever I go (because migrating 50 domains manually ...)

 I have questions but I also have some good info to share about putting your software in the cloud.  

The situation:

Some of you may have read about the nightmare stories. A developer had a infinite loop in his code that ran all night. This code did things inefficiently that devoured CPU in each iteration. This developer, greatly skilled,  opened his email the next morning and saw a email bill from his cloud provider totaling for $75K. True story. 

Most cloud providers let you define CPU usage thresholds that, when breached, send you a warning but these thresholds, if I understand them, are per account. 

It would seem the claim that cloud resources are available in whatever amounts you need, CPU, disk space, enough RAM to never have to wait on a page faults, etc... the claim that the cloud provides you with infinitely elastic  resources in an "all you can eat for one price" contract smells just a like a little like 💩

I did cloud development for many years with ServiceNow starting when it was a help desk and I watched it evolve into one of the best cloud development platforms out there. At one customer site I installed and managed it it out of the cloud and saw its insides and I can tell you its core code is not so terribly efficient. IMHO the cloud DOES take away 90% of a developer's worries about app performance..

If you call ServiceNow tech support and your problem is diagnosed as a performance issue with your code the first thing they will ask you is "did you follow the developer best practices"? They will politely say "sorry. Here's a link to them implying "fix your code". 

Questions: 

PHP Functions that devour CPU and where there is a better way?

What PHP functions or code techniques waste CPU? I am using similar_text and it does the job but it is slow. Better way?

What is the best way to measure CPU used by a PHP script or by a particular code module, defined as a set of related functions that fulfill a common purpose or by a single line of code? The purpose being to identify inefficient modules of code and improve them and even if the code is damn near perfect then at least can know what code modules are the most expensive.

CPU killin users (and developers too), how can they be identified?

I need to store data on cumulative CPU usage for any of the above and compare it with the free amount they give you and warn CPU hogs before they breach a threshold and generate $75K bills that were not in the plan.

Any info you have on avoiding surprise $75K CPU bills from a cloud provider are welcome

Hi,
My php application works abnormal. The used code to mange session is:
Code: [Select]
  include_once "classesFiles";

  session_start ();

  // check for the first visit
  if (!isset ($_SESSION ['anObject']))
    $_SESSION ['anObject'] = new Object ();
 
  $username = "xxx";
  $password = "yyy";


  if (isset ($_POST ['username']) && isset ($_POST ['password']) &&
      $_POST ['username'] == $username && $_POST ['password'] == $password)
    $_SESSION ['anObject'] -> setRole (Role::ADMIN);

  if (InputChecker::getPageAction ($_GET ['p']) == PageAction::LOGOUT)
    $_SESSION ['anObject'] -> setRole (Role::VISITOR);
...

I tested the code as follow:
1- go to the site
2- log in
3- make a new tab in the same browser
4- go to the site from the new tab (I am already logged in)
5- log out from the new tab
6- go to the first tab
7- refresh the tab. I am still logged in (I find this behavior abnormal)

The second test:
1- go to the site
2- log in
3- make a new tab in the same browser
4- go to the site from the new tab (I am already logged in)
5- go to the first tab
6- log out
7- go to the second tab
8- refresh the tab. I am logged out (I find this normal)

The order of tabs from which I log out is important.

Does anyone have an idea why the first test dose not work normal?
Thanks,

Hi I am new to php i want to develop a code where i can upload images from backend and also able to delete selected images   please provide me help for it

Hi,

I am very new to PHP, I have managed to create a basic database with a table of users, and a form for logging in.

Is there a way to create an 'area' where the users that are logged in can view, upload and download files. For example, a file storage area just like dropbox? If so, can anyone share some basic code or links to tutorials to achieve this please.

Afterwards, I would then like to set permissions for each of the users to only access certain folders within that 'storage area'.

I realise there are many websites like dropbox and box.net, but I would like to code my own version.

Thanks in advance

Okay, well for a site i want to make a user managment system. but i have no idea how to.
ive already got the part where you type the user that you want to manage.
