Thanks for the answer. Help me to understand please. Is this a limitation of PHP somehow or is it a limitation of the browsers. Why does not using cookies make a difference? Where would I go to find more information on this issue?

Greetings,

I know there's been some discussion of adding support for string indexing (that would be exclusive to strings [because it wouldn't apply to arrays] and therefore more efficient) using curly braces ($someStr{0}, $someStr{1}, etc.).

Has this been implemented, and, if so, in what version did this first appear?

Thanks,

Yes. I am using 4.0.2 and it is supported. I am not sure how long it has been available. Currently $SomeStr[0] and $SomeStr{0} are the same thing, but someday the [] notation will go away. Maybe php 5.

Maybe I'm just reading the documentation incorrectly, but when I set up a:

do { // loop until the test condition is satisfied then break [code] if ($i > 1) break; [code] } while(0);

it just goes through once. I got around it by creating a true statement to test at the end "while ($i = $i);" and everything worked fine. What am I doing wrong?

No, not the URL and therefore not HTTP_REFERER..

This is how it is..

My_Script.php redirects to Someone_Elses_Dynamically_Generated_Page.html Someone_Elses_Dynamically_Generated_Page.html has 'link' to another Page. I want My_Script.php to grab the <a href="contents"> of the 'link' and redirect to it, right after.

The reason I want to do the above is, the first page dynamically creates a session id and attaches it to the 'link'.. I need that session id to continue on, and since this page is not on my server I cant control it..

Thanks..

At our company we solve this problem by including the second page in a frameset. That's what I would recommend for you.

The only way i can figure out would be by using the sudo command without a password (don't do that with root), do a 'man sudo' on your linux box

The directory functions - there are some simple samples in readdir() - and is_file and is_dir may be useful

Take a look at dir() and readdir(). Those along with echo() should help you out.

Sorry about this, but I don't know much about LDAP, and the book I have doesn't tell me much.

I was shown the following script to grab information from an LDAP server and display the results in a phonebook type format.

<HTML> <BODY> <?php $ldapserver = "ldap.something.com"; $basedn = "dc=something, dc=com";

$dir =ldap_connect($ldapserver); // Connect to server

if ($dir) { ldap_bind($dir); // Bind to the server $result = ldap_search($dir, $basedn, "sn=*"); // query connection, set the base and look for any sn

$info = ldap_get_entries($dir, $result); // The results get sent to the $info object

for ($i=0; $i<$info["count"]; $i++) { // Count is a ldap feature that contains the length of the resultset echo $info[$i]["cn"][0]; // choose any parameter you want see here }

ldap_close($dir); } ?> </BODY> </HTML>

The problem I am running into I think is that I work for a school district, and I don't have a .com address. I have anoka.k12.mn.us. I tried to put in $basedn = "dc=anoka, dc=k12, dc=mn, dc=us"; but I still receive an error on ldap_search. Am I doing this correctly?

Mike

attached mail follows:

Mike

The purpose of setting the basedn is to say "search in this branch of the directory".

The only person who can really tell you what basedn to use is whoever designed or manages the structure of your LDAP server. Having said that, a base dn is commony something like ... o=Your Organisation,c=US

Some LDAP managers also make consistent use of the "ou" or "organizationalUnit" attribute to provide a further logical division of the directory. If your directory is organised this way, and you want to restrict your search to just one ou in the organisation, you might set the basedn for the search to be ou=Whatever Section,o=Your Organisation,c=US

Hi All,

Can anyone think of a reason that php files would work but anything named php3 would attempt to download?

Another wierd thing is that test.php3?mode=phpinfo works but test.php3 does not (but should) If you rename test.php3 to test.php it does work.

httpd.conf section:

AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps AddType application/x-httpd-php .php AddType application/x-httpd-php .php3 AddType application/x-httpd-php .phtml

This is follow up to two earlier postings by me. I would have replied to the thread(s) but my digest does not seem to be arriving. The earlier links are http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general&m=98399367205538&w=2 http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general&m=98391734022011&w=2

I believe I have tracked down the nasty heisenbug, but do not know how to squash it.

I initially had a table with ~60 rows and five columns. Two of the columns are simple, the other three are forms with 4 hidden variables and a submit button. Initially the table was one long string and about 2/3 the way through it, the string would terminate prematurely. I split the string to an array placing each row of the table in a separate cell. This changed where the errors occurred, but did not fix the problem. I then split the table into multiple smaller tables with each table containing 5 rows. Once again it changes the location of the errors, but does not fix anything. Throughout all this the page is about 45Kb. If the row where the error occurred is echo'd with htmlspecialshars the row looks correct(and the error moved to the line before). When I echo'd the line before the initially observed error I can view both the source html and the rendered version. The row of the array is correct, but the sent source is truncated.

The error does not occur on a development machine (PIII700 w/ 128MB) running RH7/php4/apache, but does occur on the production server PI133 w/ 64 MB) RH5.2/php4/AOLServer.

Can anyone suggest the cause of this bug and a possible fix? Has anyone heard of a AOLServer truncating data from php? Does HTTP sometimes truncate packets in weird ways?

I just did a simple test using a .htaccess file. foo.php echos "foo"; bar.php echos "bar".

Without anything in .htaccess, loading foo.php returns "foo" and bar.php returns "bar".

With php_value auto_prepend_file "bar.php", foo.php returns "barfoo" and bar.php returns "barbar".

With this: <Files *.php> php_value auto_prepend_file "bar.php" </Files>

foo.php returns "barfoo" and bar.php returns "barbar".

With this: <Files f*.php> php_value auto_prepend_file "bar.php" </Files>

foo.php returns "barfoo" and bar.php returns "bar".

Switching from the .htaccess file to my Apache config file, this produces the same effect as that last <Files...> directive: <Location /prep/f*.php> php_value auto_prepend_file "bar.php" </Location>

foo.php returns "barfoo", bar.php returns "bar".

Doing the same thing with a <Directory> did not work.

First up, shouldn't you have {} to delineate what is actually the foreach procedure(s)?

I would suggest using extract within your While loop to make the table fields available as variables.

while ($row=mysql_fetch_array($sql_result)) { extract($row); echo "<tr>"; echo "<td>$field</td>"; \\ or whatever the field is called echo "<td><a href=\"search.php?ID=$ID\">"; echo "Get it"; echo "</a></td>"; echo "</tr>"; }

Hello,

I am trying to execute a simple SELECT from Oracle 8.1.6 in a php4.0.3pl1 page.....

....and I get the following error:

Warning: Ora_Do failed (ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes -- while processing OCI function OEXFET) in /direcotry/file.php

If I take out the reference to the clob field, my page works fine. Once I add it, it blows-up.

Here is how I configured Apache 1.3.12 './configure' '--with-apxs=/staples/apache/bin/apxs' '--with-config-file-path=/shoes/httpd' '--with-oracle=/bob/bobagain/bobapp/oracle/product/8.1.6'

It _is_ mentioned on the support page, just below the mailing list information - at least on the new site and I'm sure it was there before.

Trying to make a script that gets another and resends it.

$pagedata = str_replace("href=\"http://", "href=" $scriptpath "?url="$url, $pagedata);

echo $pagedata;

} else{ echo "something went wrong"; }

The script works great, as long as the line beginning $pagedata is commented out. But, I would like to use that line to convert all absolute links in the page to also go through the proxy.php

Also, any ideas of how to process relative links and make them into absolute links?

Ex. (lets say $scriptpath is http://www.host.com/proxy.php)

<a href="about.html"> which is actually www.abc123.com/about.html

Becomes:

<a href="http://www.host.com/proxy.php?url=http://www.abc123.com/about.html

Hello,

I have been using the PHP 4.0.3 file upload mechanism for about 9 months now. The other day it ceased to work. In the location where I copy the uploaded file too, a file is created with the appropriate name, but its file size is 0. All file functions, return true on it

is_uploaded_file() move_uploaded_file($userfile, $my_dir); file_exists($userfile) and file_exists($my_new_name)

For that I'd add another field - type "timestamp". In MySQL, timestamp fields are automatically set to NOW() on each insert and update *if* they are not set to something else in it (the insert or update)

Or simply add some timestamp or datetime field that you "manually" set to NOW() on each insert (if you don't want the date to be changed on an UPDATE).

Which however only works (1) with autoincrement keys and (2) for the last insert you did using the same mysql connection, i.e. if you do an insert in foo.php, mysql_insert_id () won't show anything in bar.php

I'm putting together a regex to pull all of the urls out of a web page. Not the href tag, but just the url part of that tag.

Here's what I've come up with:

preg_match_all('/<.*href\s*=\s*(\"|\')?(.*?)(\s|\"|\'|>)/i', $html, $matches); foreach($matches[2] as $m) print "<P>$m\n";

All regex masters please tell me if I'm missing something. It's working well, but I'm still learning about perl regex and I'd like any input if at all possible.

What's a good way to exclude things like javascript: urls and other non URI info? I guess what I'm really looking for is all the http urls, no ftp, mms etc... or anything like that.

If it's right, then hopefully someone can use it!

Pretty good. Some minor things: (1) "<.*href" will also match <a name='foo'><h2> example of href="hello"</h2>

(2) You're pretty lax on the tag syntax - you don't require quotes to match, don't require quotes at all etc

I'd rewrite it to '/<\s*a\s*href\s*=\s*("|\')(.*?)\\1\s*>/i'

> What's a good way to exclude things like javascript: urls and other non > URI info? I guess what I'm really looking for is all the http urls, no > ftp, mms etc... or anything like that.

Use the following regexes on your result to get only the types you want:

$HostName = '([a-zA-Z][\w-]*(\.[a-zA-Z][\w-]*)+)'; $HostIP = '(\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3})'; $Host = '(' . $HostName . '|' . $HostIP . ')'; $HTTPPath = '(([\w\.\/~\?%=\-]|&)+)'; $FTPPath = '(\/[^\/\s]*)*\/?'; $Port = '(:\d+)?'; $HTTPURL = 'http:\/\/' . $Host . $Port . $HTTPPath; $WWWAddress = 'www\.' . $HostName . $Port . $HTTPPath; $FTPURL = 'ftp:\/\/' . $Host . $FTPPath;

Fair enough, and that's as I expected. So that brings me to the second part of my question: is there any php library that allows parsing of html?

Perhaps I'll have to write one myself. All I want really is something that parses a bunch of text and calls handlers whenever tags are encountered. Just like xml_parse, except I don't care if tags are out of order, I don't care about case, and I don't care if there is a close tag for every open. If anyone knows of a package that does this, please advise. If anyone else would be interested in this, let me know and I could post my code when I'm done (if I have to do this myself).

I fixed the problem I had with Netscape not working well with sessions (whereas MSIE worked fine for me). Apparently, Netscape works well with cookies (and ironically, MSIE doesn't). Of course, many would probably disagree, but I'm ONLY speaking from MY recent experience and specifically on the Mac platform. So, anyway, my solution was to set both sessions and cookies at the same time, wherever needed, and do my authentication (etc) by seeing if either one or the other is set (e.g., if $session = logged or $cookie = bitten then...).

Hope this helps someone.

Best,

We send SMS messages from Oracle, but the method could be used in php I think. We use www.quios.com. They accept SMS messages as XML documents which you simply post to their site using http. The response, also by http, is an xml document. It is very easy to build your outgoing xml document, and the response document is so simple in structure that you could probably get by without an xml parser to interpret it.

I can easily send standard email messages via PHP. Does anyone know how to send SMS messages?

did you copy this file "php4ts.dll" into your winnt/system32 folder?

i believe you need that in order for the isapi to work

I have been having problems using the PHP 4 ISAPI module with IIS 4 on NT4 (The most common problem is HTTP 500 internal server error which disappears if page is refreshed). This is apparently not too surprising given the current status of the ISAPI module. So I have switched to using CGI, which seems absolutely fine, but is noticeably slower.

I was wondering if it is worth trying the Apache module. Will it be more reliable? And are there any notable gotchas to watch out for in installing this combination?

We have started using PHP on NT over Apache, but since our ISP used IIS we switched to it. Anyway, we just started having real problems after our application got really big, so that I cannot really compare Apache x IIS on NT very well (our errors started happening on IIS if I recall correctly).

And you are right, CGI version is much more stable: our application has even crashed IIS on our ISP (and thus all other clients websites as well went down...) when running PHP as ISAPI. We asked the ISP to configure PHP as CGI for our virtual host only, did the same test and got an error but all the sites still were running fine, ours as well.

I believe you should do some tests over apache, it is really easy to install. And relating to IIS, CGI is definetly more stable. You could anyway consider moving to Linux or UNIX. The developers of PHP seem also to be much more prolific in relation to this world, for obious reasons... But in my opinion, as a commercial product in a production environment I would say that PHP over Windows is definetly not the better choice.

I included definition files using require_once(), I noticed the last definition file is not included w/o any error messages.

I tested with include() and require(), it worked fine but not with require_once() or include_once(). Require_once() and include_once() silently fails to include files.

I've checked with get_required_files() and get_included_files(), there are 20 files included where it should be 21 files. It seems 20 files for max number of include_once()/require_once() is too few. (Usually I don't include this many files unless I have to)

I think PHP should warn or raise error if it cannot include files.

First of all, is this a spec? If so, I'm fine with this restriction. (More than 20 included files are too many anyway)

If this is a problem, I would like to know other people have the problem. If it is the case, I will post new bug report to bug DB. (Searched with require as keyword in Scripting Engine section, no matched record. Or is this reported?? or even better will it be fixed in 4.0.5?)

If no one has the same problem, I'm going to update my glibc to see if it fix other strange PHP behavior also. (I have code that loops as if there is "goto" statement under my environment.)

Hi all,

I have a timeout problem with sessions. I use the PHP session handling (4.0.4pl1). It works, but it times to fast out.

I've set: ini_alter("session.gc_maxlifetime", "172800");

and

phpinfo() says: session.cache_expire: local=172800, global=180 session.gc_maxlifetime: local=172800, global=1440

It times out really quick, mabye 10-20 minutes.

Any hints on why that might be?

I used to just use cookies, but I want the url backup system of PHP.

Also the setting in phpinfo(): url_rewriter.tags : a=href,area=href,frame=src,form=fakeentry

Is it possible to have a variable other that the PHPSESSION variable be appended to the URL automatically. I.e. I want to use cookies, but if cookies are not accepted then I want to use url variables? And I really don't need the session functionality cause I handle that myself.. (timeout etc.)

That is just use the feature PHP has to append variables to links and forms. To use it as a cookie backup system, without using PHP sessions..

So I want a variable MyVAR which is appended to urls and forms automatically ( trans-sid is enabled ).

If I can do that I also need to know how I can check if cookies are accepted or not, so I can append the variables only if cookies are not accepted.

( Using redhat linux 6.2 with the latest PHP version, 4.0.4pl1 )

Cheers,

I guess your clients PC's clock is not accurate. How about set timeout to 0? Then session cookie will not timeout until browser is closed.

You can compile PHP with trans-sid to add session id automatically. http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.session.php

I've posted PHP session helper HTML file that checks JavaScript and cookie is enabled. You can find at http://www.zend.com/codex.php?id=458&single=1

Actually the server and client clock only differs with about 1 minute.

The 0 timeout will not work. I want the session to be remember for several days, I had no problems with pure cookies while doing this.

The timeout value that PHP reports suggests that the timeout should be several days.. but it does not seem to work.

> You can compile PHP with trans-sid to add session id automatically. > http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.session.php

I have that and PHP does append the PHPSESSID variable to urls. Works great.

My question is: can I manually tell PHP to append e.g. MyVAR=foo to all URL's and forms.

BTW: if you use header( "Location: ..." ); to redirect PHP does not append the session id to the header information (cookie less that is). You have to append it to the Location manually. ( Bug in PHP )

I'll check, but I prefer not using javascript.

Then how about check the server's response headers that sent to client? You can view headers using wget or like. PHP might be sending global ini var(which is set to small number) to client for some reason.

It might be browser specific problem, if server is sending correct headers. Is it happen all browsers you have? or just a few of them?

Do you mean just like trans-sid? I think you cannot as far as I know. PHP Programmers/HTML designer have to write code manually to add query string. Anyone??

You also can find very simple PHP code to check cookie is enabled or not at code exchange.

in what way did the previous responses not answer this?

if you really want a loop then foreach($arrLoginName as $element) or for($x = 0; $x < sizeof($arrLoginName); $x++) will do, but why not just use if(in_array())? Are you really holding all of your user names in a single "" delimited string?
