I am trying to post some info to my php script using the microsoft internet control:

strurl = http://www.myserver.com/test.asp strdata = "lah=sd&dta=test Inet1.Execute strurl, "POST", strdata

PHP returns HTTP_POST_VARS as being empty. Yet, if I use PERL, I can read the posted info just fine.

PHP does work fine with normal php forms.

Why can PERL recognize my data, but PHP not, how are they handling the posted info differently?

Is there a way I can get PHP to display the raw data that the script receives so I can see what is happening?

Thanks for any help, Chris

The official word on the Apache config files is that you _should_ use IP addresses rather than host names.

That said, I don't do it. I find the host names more understandable when I am working on the file. The problem is you MUST make sure DNS or /etc/hosts name resolution is available BEFORE you start the web server.

The first thing to try is get a list of the host names that fail and do a nslookup to make sure you can resolve them. You may have bigger problems with DNS.

If the problem happens only when you boot the computer, make sure you start networking ans named long before you try to start the web server.

A way to side step the entire DNS issue is to list each of your web IP addresses in /etc/hosts, and make sure that /etc/resolv.conf looks in that file before it goes out to DNS. Even if you do this you need to find out why the host names can not be resolved. If the master DNS server is setup wrong, no one will be able to see the site.

Take a look thru your Apache config files for HostNameLookups, that is probably what it is. You can set it to ON to get this behavior back. You might want to think about it a little before you do. Having this on means that EVERY SINGLE page and image hit requires a DNS lookup BEFORE the page/image is sent. If there is a problem with reverse DNS on the modem your visitor is connected to (not uncommon) they get to wait up to 30 seconds for a DNS timeout before the page will load. Not good.

Consider how often you really care about what the host name is. Is it worth the extra delay for the DNS lookup on EVERY page sent.

You mentioned having to have your log analyzer do the DNS lookups when it processes the logs. I say better pay for it then when it is only you waiting for results than making your visitors pay on every page and image they download.

Thanks.

The most common cause of this problem is a blank line, or evan a space in the wrong place in one of the required files. The following examples will cause the problem:

--------------------------------------

<? some code here ?> --------------------------------------

-------------------------------------- <? some code here ?>

--------------------------------------

-------------------------------------- <? some code here ?> --------------------------------------

-------------------------------------- <? some code here ?> NOTE: even a single space after the > will cause a problem. --------------------------------------

-------------------------------------- <? some code ?>

<? some more code ?> --------------------------------------

What they all have in common, is ANYTHING outside of <? and ?> in the file.

How can I have an new session id without closing the browser?

session.inc contains basically the postgresql session functions (user handler) in http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.session.php I have change pg_pconnect for pg_connect and I have added pg_destroy_session.

1. There is a login/password page 2. Afterwards all pages that access the DB have the following include file:

<? include('sesion.inc');

if (!isset($g_login)) { // flag that indicates that validation was succesful

echo "<script language='javascript'>  </script>"; }

if (isset($g_hora)) {

$timeout = 3600 ; $lapso = time() - $g_hora; if ( $lapso >= $timeout ) {

session_destroy(); // delete session from database session_unset(); // suppose to delete session variable from memory $sesion = md5(uniqid("prueba")); session_id($sesion); // new session

echo "<script language='javascript'> <!-- var lugar = window.location.href; var lugars;

window.alert('La sesión ha expirado'); var lugar = window.location.href; if ( lugar != \"http://www.my_web.com/login.php\" ) {

window.location.assign('http://www.my_web.com/login.php'); } //--> </script>"; } } ?>

3. How am I supposed to create a new session identificator ? session_unset is suppose to "free" (delete?) all session variables currently registered, isn't it? After timeout, it goes to login page but I have still the old session id instead of the new one.

What am I missing?

I've got a setup similar to this, but it doesn't use htaccess for authentication. If you send a 401 back at the client, it will void its cached username/password. You could do this at the top of your code:

header("WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm=\"stuff\""); header("HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized"); exit;

..if 1) the login cookie is not present, and 2) the user is not currently logging in (trying to get the cookie) on that hit.

If you want to do it quietly, just unset the cookie and bounce them to somewhere outside of the realm of your htaccess protection. Next time they enter, the cookie will not exist, so they'll be forced to re-login anyway.

Hi All,

I have been using PHP for the last 5 months, and it's great, Unitl now, I have been using connections to informix and everything is OK.

Now I need to connect from a linux-apache server to a paradox db in other machine (Windows NT), so the question is, What do I need to make the connection, for what I have readed in the mailing list archives I need an ODBC Driver for paradox, where can I get it, and where I heve to put it, and what else do I need to do???

Thanks

Rene

attached mail follows:

Rene,

You can use OpenLink's Multi-Tier driver. We don't directly support Paradox, but there is a MS driver on most NT systems that we can work with, in a 'piggyback' method.

Use the iODBC-PHP HOWTO at http://www.iodbc.org/odbc-phpHOWTO.html Install the OpenLink Multi-Tier drivers for linux client and Windows server, from http://www.openlinksw.com

Then: 1. create DSN on the Win box using the MS Driver for Paradox, call it 'foo' for this example 2. create a DSN on the Linux box, using OpenLink's driver, and: - hostname is the Win box - ServerType is Odbc - Database is foo - other parameters as needed

If you run into problems, free support is available at http://www.openlinksw.com/support/suppindx.htm

In your HTMLTable() function, use

$this->attributes[] = array("border", "0"); $this->attributes[] = array("cellpadding", "0");

otherwise, PHP thinks $attributes is a variable local to that function, rather that a class variable.

How do you determine a user's screen size (resolution)? Isn't there a variable/function for this?

> How do you determine a user's screen size (resolution)? Isn't there a > variable/function for this?

I doubt you could do this in PHP, since your browser doesn't normally include screen size information in the headers it sends across to web servers.

However, JavaScript can do this -- there's a screen object, with properties called screen.width and screen.height that specify (surprisingly enough) the width and height of the user's screen.

You could create a form with some hidden inputs, and have a JavaScript body onLoad() event that would set the values of these hidden inputs to your user's screen size. When PHP receives this form. it could process the information from there.

Hope this helps...

Hello everyone,

I know this is a bit of an deviation from the normal type of email this list gets, so I'll keep it short. If you are reading this, then you have probably judged by the title that this has to do with a user group, in Atlanta. If you live in Atlanta, GA (or close enough that you tell people you live here) then you may want to come join us and help us form a user group. We are relatively new but we are already getting things rolling as far as meetings, newsletters and the such.

If this interests you, come on over to http://www.phpatlanta.org/ for more info. If you don't live in/around Atlanta please forward this message to someone who does, or just delete it.

Thanks for your time. Stephen VanDyke stephenopido.com

Hi everyone, First, let me explain I am a very knowledgable php developer. I'm not someone trying to write their first script. I have been working on a very large and complex problem for some time now when it suddenly stopped working. I did not change anything in any configurations or edit any code that would have affected how my database functionality class would function. But, all of my connections started to bomb out.

Follows are the entire contents of a file simp.php (minus the line numbers):

1 <? 2 3 $db = mysql_connect("localhost", "web", "pw") || print "error connecting ".mysql_error()." ".mysql_errno(); 4 mysql_select_db("surveys"); 5 6 $result = mysql_query("select * from attract") || print "error querying ".mysql_error()." ".mysql_errno(); 7 8 $i = 0; 9 while ($row = mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query("select * from attract"))){ // && ($i++ < 5)){ 10 echo $row[0]." ".$row[1]."<br>"; 11 } 12 ?>

Please note that the user weblocalhost identified by pw has permissions to select from the table attract.

Here is what I have identified so far:

A - If I use $result in mysql_fetch_array() line 9, I get the error: Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in simp.php3 on line 9 But if I use the statement mysql_query("select * from attract") in its place, the loop (although infinite) will produce expected results, ie print out the first and second columns of the first row of the table infinitely. So basically, I would conclude the life of the variable result is terminiating before I can use it. Why, I don't have a clue.

B - Being tired of an infinite loop in my investigation, I added line 8 and I placed the statement && ($i++ < 5) inside the while loop condition. Now, only the <br> and spaces from line 10 will print, not the actual values of the $row array. The output is <br> <br> <br> <br> <br>, with no values from the table attract.

This is where I stand now, completely flabberghasted and nearly insane. Can anyone shed any light on this before I have to commit to bringing down the webserver while I reinstall php4. (oh, btw I am running Apache/1.3.14 (Unix) PHP/4.0.4pl1 on Red Hat 6.2 (I hate redhat, but the bossman says its better supported than slakware. bah.))

Thank you all for your help. steve

Is it possible that the || construct doesn't work in the way you are using it and thus you aren't seeing mysql_error? The most common examples I have seen use the actual string 'or'. Try with a query that you _know_ will trip an error.

Hmm, perhaps he looks for a way to let the *browser* preserve the string (and not e.g. parse the "<" as start of a tag). htmlentities () ist the function of choice then...

We are currently using 3.0.16 (I know :().

I have a form action pointing to $PHP_SELF. After submitting the form information, $userfile contains what I expect in $userfile_name. I have had all sorts of troubles with file uploads lately, but eventually they start working. Not this time.

Hi again. :) Does anyone know how to reference a value in an array or object if the returned table has 2 fields of the same name. IE, I am querying 2 tables and returning an id value from each. On both tables, the id fieldname is "id". I know I can access the vals like $array[0] and $array[1], but is there a way I can fetch_object do do that? Can I reference them like $object->table1.id and $object->table2.id? I would assume not since it just makes a new table when it returns the data. Thanks for the help, and I hope my question is clear. :)

Something like

select tbl1.id as tbl1_id, tbl2.id as tbl2_id ....

$ob->tbl1_id;

should work... o fthe top of my head.

Greetings -

FYI: I have WinNT + Apache + PHP

Does anyone know the difference between the cgi version of php4 (php.exe) as opposed to setting up php4 as a server's module?

I have both versions installed its just that I do not know what is the difference when it comes to functionality. Does the cgi version execute faster then the other...things like this!

A Web site would be great an explanation would be ideal.

Thanx in advance

Procmail should be able to do this for you?

But how are you actually dealing with the incoming mails? Are they being sent to the php script as they arrive from an alias or procmail, or are you attempting to parse the contents of the mail spool file for a particular user?

If it's the former, all you need to do is parse each line until you find the one beginning with Subject and do the necessary.

If the latter, you'll need to check the relevant RFCs to determine how messages are separated in the spool, and how the body of the message is separated from the headers - I'm fairly sure that's two newlines. RFC1822 from memory?

Hello,

I am attempting to install php4.04 and apache1.3.14

php4.04 compiles without complaint, yet when I compile apache, it dies on this error:

===== modules/php4/libphp4.a(pfpro.o): In function `php_info_pfpro': /usr/local/src/php-4.0.4-ssl/ext/pfpro/pfpro.c:113: undefined reference to `PNVersion' modules/php4/libphp4.a(pfpro.o): In function `php_if_pfpro_version': /usr/local/src/php-4.0.4-ssl/ext/pfpro/pfpro.c:129: undefined reference to `PNVersion'

Anyone know what is going on here? I have copied pfpro.h to /usr/local/include and libpfpro.so /usr/local/lib and I ran ldconfig.

hi all,

thanks for the replies. many of you asked why I want to use php4 as a cgi.

basically it boils down to this, using PHP as CGI you can run PHP scripts via cron tab, which eliminates the need for shell scripting (yeah baby).

i did some investigation a few months ago (when I was on a virtual host) and found that cron could not call PHP scripts due to the fact that it's Apache calling the cron process not root (or another user).

a work around seems to be sending everything to Lynx (or the equivalent) but at the time my hosting provider would not allow me to do this.

anyone have a faster, more secure way to call PHP via cron?

p.s. in reply to my earlier post i got differing reports as to the security concerns of running PHP as a cgi. one person replied that cgi shoudl be avoided at all costs while another said that he thought it was the way to go.

thoughts?

p.p.s thanks for the replies to my questions, it's extremely helpful.

In that case, compile php without using with-apache or with-apxs to create a php binary. Place it in /usr/local/bin or someplace in your path.

There is a way to run php from cron something like:

/usr/local/bin/php -q script-name.php

The way I do it is a little different. In cron I specify:

/path/to/php/script.php

In the top of script.php, I add a special first line:

-------------------------------- #!/usr/local/bin/php -q <? phpinfo(); ?> --------------------------------

The important thing to remember here, it has NOTHING to do with Apache or CGI, you are using standard shell operations to allow php to execute scripts the same way most perl scripts, and a lot of other scripts are run.

Hi all, This is probably something dumb I'm missing, but I am using the following code:

if (($photocount % 3) == 2) { echo "</tr>\n<tr>\n"; }

echo "<td>$smallpic</td>\n"; $photocount++;

}

echo "</tr>\n";

echo "</table>";

and it's outputting a table like this:

(There are currently 8 pics that have been uploaded). As you can see that the first row has returned just two columns. I'd like the photos to be displayed in rows of three, and if there are only 8 pictures (or any othe number that's not directly divisible by three) to be displayed on the last row. At the moment it's doing it "upside down." Any ideas?

And I know, I'm going to have to force an extra cell for it to display correctly....

Thanks as always, James.

Is it because 1 % 3 is 0 with a remainder of 2? Looks like the code is doing just what it is written to do. The "if" evaluates to true on the second picture.

Hmmm... I'm pretty sure 1%3 is equal to 1.

I'm suspecting you might be incrementing $photocount too early -- that is, before the if (($photocount % 3) == 2) statement. That would certainly explain the weirdness you're seeing.

Sorry. Take that back. Just saw the original post.

The problem is that you're doing the <td> stuff AFTER deciding whether you want to change rows or not. Imagine going through the list below when you're on $photocount=2, which is really the third picture.

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { $smallpic = $row['smallpic'];

if (($photocount % 3) == 2) { echo "</tr>\n<tr>\n"; }

echo "<td>$smallpic</td>\n"; $photocount++;

}

See what happens? You end the current table row, and THEN print out the third table cell, which really ends up on the next row.

Just move that echo statement about your if statement (leave the auto-increment where it is), and you should be fine.

I want to open a html file from a php script. The problem is that the html file is located in a password protected directory on an apache web server. I know the user/password for that directory and I want the php script to handle the authentification automaticly. Is there a way to acomplish this ?

Ok. Here's the situation:

I'm running PHP on a Unix (SGI) box with Apache as a module running an Intranet web server (call it inside.mydomain.com). Sendmail is running on the machine. I'm on a network with a windows Mail server (MS. Exchange 5.5) with (I'm told) appropriate SMTP services running (call it mail.mydomain.com).

I'm using a mail class I downloaded from somewhere, which basically calls PHP's mail funciton.

The behaviour is this: When I send mail from the webserver (running as nobodyinside.mydomain.com) to an inside address (same domain, i.e. jparkermydomain.com) I get everything just fine. I can even use the from feature in the mail class to make the mail appear to come from a real (or not so real, I've tried godheaven.org and it takes it just fine) address. However, when I send mail to an outside address, i.e. somebodyyahoo.com, it gets dropped somewhere. Unfortunately those running the mailserver are unable/unwilling to help me track this down, so I've got to come to you guys with limited information and hope you have an answer. If it helps, here's the header of a message sent from inside.mydomain.com to an inside address. Thanks in advance.

Sounds like they have relay disabled on their SMTP server and the IP that your PHP is running on is not on an included network address. As them to verify that your ip address is ok.

The mail server will accept locally destined mail but anything else is seen as a relay attempt (Spam) and blocked. In most cases ISPs and admins reject with complaint (which would help considerably in your case), in others they reject transparently by routing to /dev/null.

Take a look at the headers on an internal message. I bet you find some additional headers like: From: and Reply To: that are being stripped by the mail server.

Can you load sendmail or qmail on your UNIX box and bypass them. You don't have to handle incoming email, and you don't want the machine listening on port 25, but you may be able to have your own machine handle mail connections and bypass them entirely.

Now im even getting more confused. Ive been doing some more research into the subject, and cant seem to find any answers.

All of the PHP documentation about headers() talks about auth via PHP, but doesnt mention anything about htaccess as the auth system.

On my main.php screen, this is where the cookie gets set once the user logs in with htaccess. What im trying to do is incorporate a section into (possibly) main.php which forces the htaccess to rerequest login again using my .htpasswd password file as the criteria.

Is there some sort of header information which will make the webserver turn around and say..... "Hey, you shouldnt be here anymore, login again and I might think about letting you in"

Because once I can get the user logging in again, it will go to the rest of main.php and unset/reset the cookie with the new user.

Scratching my head.

attached mail follows:

The request for a password is usually generated by a 401 header. Just do this -

Header("WWW-authenticate: basic realm=\"Some realm\""); Header("HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized"); exit;

That should pop up a box. Just make sure you check the values of $PHP_AUTH_USER/PW first before presenting those headers.

This is more of an http question then it is a php question, I strongly advise you to read and understand the HTTP/1.1 rfc - it can be found at http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2616.html (See chapter 10.4.2 for the documentation of the 401 header)

I have tried this, and all it keeps doing is reasking for the U/P until the 3rd time and errors me out. I checked the $PHP_AUTH_USER/PW and both display my own username and password, but when I enable the above lines it just keeps asking for a u/p

where does the above try and verify the password from ? The initial .htaccess request authenticates from a htpasswd file held in the root dir of the user on the server. How can I make the above lines read from this htpasswd file to authenticate a new user/pass ?

You are missing some of the files you need to compile - you may need to seek assistance from someone familiar with Mandrake to determine how to add the necessary stuff. I can tell you how with slackware....

You need to do a installation of a complete C development environment, including flex and bison. Locate the RPMs on your CD or load it from a RPM repository. www.rpmfind.com seems to be down.

If you want control everything yourself install Debian. At the LinuxDays last year in Stuttgart we have installed Mandrake. But the friendly people from the Mandrake booth couldn't help us with Jade and DocBook.

Seems like your solution boils down to this:

Set toggle = 0 open file for read while not EOF Read file line by line if(line has dashes) toggle = not(toggle) // flip the toggle endif

if (toggle) print line endif endwhile close file

The code is left as an exercise for the student :-)

Hi all,

I understand that you can call the parent function from within an overriding child function using the parent::method syntax. That's OK.

My problem is...I need the parent's data! (I know that the class has no data, only objects of that class have data, etc etc.)

I have a class that can execute SQL statements. It is extended into many different classes that add extra functionality - no rocket science.

What I want to do is add permission checking in the child classes that then call the same function in the parent *object. ie:

Class A { function save() { //refer to member data... //execute sql based on member data... } }

Class B extends A { function save() { //check current user rights

//if ok, execute parent::save() //BUT parent::save() won't have //access to the member data it //needs because it is a static call. } }

Any ideas? I have a feeling it could be achieved with the serialize funtion, as I saw in the annotated manual, but I don't quite understand what is going on in the example. (I assume it is hacking the object's internal representation so that it refers to a different class. Scary.)

Thanks for any help

Actually, static calls aren't so static when they're calling a method which is in the inheritance tree.

In other words, parent:: calls (assuming the subclass is instanciated) will operate instanciated.

I have a customer who insists on using Front Page, but wants protection against intruders on all his web pages. I envisioned a solution where he works in Front Page, then all his files are ftp'd to a directory on the server, opened and re-written as .php files with all links changed from "something.htm" to "something.php" and then copied to a directory on the same level called "test". So far so good, and this allows a php-one-liner to provide the necessary security.

Now I'm stuck, because I have to copy these files from test to the location of the web page itself. And I've not been able to do it, and I can't do it, as far as I can see without giving world-writeable permission to the web directory. Here's the skeletal directory structure ...

.../www.website.com /admin /upload /test

The script (php page) I'm using to do this is stored in /admin and I want to copy everything in /test (and any subdir's it may have) to www.website.com.

On the server, logged in as root, I can execute a shell script named newpub-web, located in www.website.com, which consists of: rm -f *.php rm -f ./graphics/* cp -fR ./admin/test/* .

I've tried executing newpub-web from a php script, which changes to the the working directory to www.website.com, as: exec( "newpub-web"), or system( "newpub-web" ) or passthru( "newpub-web"). None have worked.

I've also tried executing the commands directly using system(), all without effect, no errors, nothing.

Do I have to change the group of www.website.com to nobody? That seems to be an awful security hole.

PHP runs as the webserver user which in most cases is user nobody. For PHP to write to a directory, it has to be writable to this directory. A possible solution would be to compile a PHP executable and run a script from cron to copy the files periodically. By using cron and a cgi-version of PHP you can run it as your desired user.

Hello Brian,

JavaScript book, that I have, mentions some NN cannot display JavaScript code correctly when user views HTML source code. To work around this, author says disable JavaScript on NN and display source.

How about try this to see what the browser really get? (PHP sends the same output for all browsers unless you explicitly does so, I believe. I guess it is due to the browser implementation difference or bug in NN.)

hello!!

I have a question about variables scope!!

<?php $var = 10;

function func1() { func2(); }

function func2() { echo $var; }

func1(); ?>

In the above segment, I know that, func2 won't echo anything, even I add "global var;" in func2.

if, I modified the segment, so, that, it like the following!! <?php $var = 10;

function func1() { global var; func2(); }

function func2() { global var; echo $var; }

func1(); ?>

It works!! However, I am now doing a project, using PHP, I decide to write some modules, for frequestly used. How ever, these module, have to use some variables, whose scope is originally on only the upper most level. If using these way (global all var in each function, even not the modules functions), it is very inconivent, as I need to know which variable, should 'global' it, if I use some module functions, Is there any convient way to do so???

Globals in PHP differ from many other languages and PHP does not support name space. All global vars are not visible in function or class by default. ( Programmer must declare as global before using it)

I recommed you to browse http://www.php.net/docs.php

I recommend to set 'enable track vars' and 'disable register globals' in php.ini. If you done this in php.ini, programmer can only access variables from server, browser, etc as acciative arrays like $HTTP_POST_VARS, $HTTP_GET_VARS, $HTTP_SERVER_VARS, $HTTP_UPLOAD_FILES, $HTTP_SESSION_VARS,.....

If you want to access POST data from user's browser you can write like

function foo() { global $HTTP_POST_VARS; // do something }

to access all data that are posted by POST method. (Except $HTTP_UPLOAD_FILES)

Using $HTTP_* variables improves code readability I think

PS: You can use $GLOBALS[] to access all global vars.

I read about the php manual, I find that, shmop function can let me use to store information directly on a shared segment memory.

However, I have some question about these!

Does it provide a faster performance, if I use these rather than store things in mysql DB, I know this might be stupid, but I have to make sure this.

And, can I shared the segment ( the data stored inside ) with different user session. Would you show me how.

Lastly, is there any further information about using this? the manual only take a little bit!!

Thanks Zenith

Hi all,

how can I tell the output from a mysql query to wrap the cols at 80 (or whatever)?

here's what I have:

$row = mysql_fetch_array($sth);

if ($row[0] != "") { echo $row[0];

prints the data, but some of the results are long strings of text that don't wrap in the browser, how can I force them to wrap at the edge of the browser?

Thanks, Clayton Dukes

Nevermind, I got it :-)

I used:

Then in the php file:

echo (wraptext($row[0],80));

I'm learning :-)

try the header function

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.header.php

for ex, if you want the user to be redirected to abc.php3 file, then use this function call

header("location:abc.php3"); exit;

do take all the precautions subscribed for the header function in the manual.

hope that helps

if ($update) { $result=foo; header("page.php"); }

and make _absolutely_ sure that your script doesn't even have a white space _anywhere_ before issuing the header.

I mean, of course header("Location: page.php");

Hello all,

I would like to know if anyone already wrote FORM module (not PHP class/function) that handles HTML forms (elements, validation, etc).

I searched freashmeat, I couldn't find one.

Thanks,

attached mail follows:

hi.. i have a form that allow users to upload several image files. every time they submit, i do fread them and assign them to an array... this array will be passed on until user confirmation.. then i insert into database as blob type....

//freed image file and assign to array. $diagram[$ind] = addslashes(fread(fopen($HTTP_POST_FILES["QuestDia"]["tmp_name"][$ind],"r"),

//to facilitate posting of any existing array of the above to the next form... for($ind=0;$ind < count($diagram);$ind++) print "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"diagram[$ind]\" value=\"".$diagram[$ind]."\">";

the script will bring user back to the form and allow them to upload more...

the 2nd time round, i have got error.. i see parts of $diagram being displayed out... meaning funny characters are displayed.. once $diagram is insert into database,,, the pic is corrupted.. it works fine if the form does not repeat.. meaning user post images and database is updated straight away. can someone tell me wat's wrong?
