$local is NOT a reference. $gGlobal is reference.
In this case, you are actually changing. $GLOBAL['gGlobal'] in this case.

I think you figures it out why now.

I'm looking to move from an old Web host (stormweb.net) that has entirely stopped responding to customer support emails. I liked what they had to offer, before they became unresponsive, so I'm looking for a similar ISP with:

*PHP4 *MySQL *Telnet access *Decent Support *Preferably a Cobalt server (or one with a VERY good Web-based administrator, most other types of Web administrators I've seen have been clunky and a PITA) *Pretty Cheap

I've checked out ISP check, and it would be great if they listed the type of Wed-based administrator, but they don't. It's VERY tedious to get a demo account, and see that their Web-based administrator is junk. I'm used to the very slick administrator found on Cobalt servers. I have given up after a half-dozen attempts at other servers. I sincerely hope someone can help.

Thank you very much, Jamie

You mention a large desire for a good web based administrator. I wonder if there is a version of a web based system administrator available that works like Cobalt, but can be installed on any hosting setup. Have you folks heard of such a thing? I am aware of Webmin, but am not too impressed with it yet.

I have toyed with the idea of writing my own. Jamie, what items do you feel must be controllable in a web hosting account administration panel? Yes, we all know the basics, like email, dns, etc. but a bulleted list would be a good start at organizing a development effort.

The biggies are: *An intuitive email config interface, with list management, aliases, etc. *Ability to "sub-let" out webspace/ftp area to people ("users" directories) *Web-space administration and monitoring (to regulate "sub"-users' webspace) *Good backup system. (RAQs let you download a compressed backup, which can be easily uploaded, and reverted to).

Cobalt servers do these things.

I would do a search on google for cobalt virtual hosts. If you want my recommendation, I have been using Interliant for a year now for co-location. They have excellent support, offer Cobalt RAQs virtual hosting, and have great connection speeds and uptime.

Here's an interesting problem.

The following only prints the first letter of the name

for ($i=0; isset($empid[$i]); $i++) {

echo "$empid[$i] $name[$i]<br>";

}

But if I change the variable $name to $employeename throughout the script it displays fine.

$empid[] and $name[] are both assigned earlier in the script by pulling data from a MySQL database.

Is $name a reserved word or something? Anyone know why just changing the array's name fixes the problem?

It's also important to note that their comment that PHP doesn't cache compiled scripts and thus may not scale as well isn't completely true. The default install doesn't, but you can use one of several products (Zend Cache, Afterburner and a third whose name escapes me) to ensure that your scripts are cached.

Third one would be http://apc.communityconnect.com/ ??

Hello!

I have been bashing my head trying to figure this out, and I'm hoping somebody can show me the correct way to do this:

A PGP signed set of variables is passed to our URL via GET. I use HTTP_GET_VARS to grab the PGP string, which is contained in a variable called "trnResponse". I run that through pgpv to end up with the raw string, which I store in a variable called $rawstring

The string looks like: trnId=10000019&messageId=1&messageText=Approved&authCode=&trnDate=3%2F16%2F2 001+8%3A07%3A14+AM&trnOrderNumber=435643

That's where I get confused about the best way to pull the variables out of the string.

I was using something like: $thearray = explode ("&", rawurldecode($rawstring)); (this still leaves me with "+" in some places, but I can use str_replace to get rid of them)

I was exploding on "&", but that leaves me with an array with things like trnId=10000019 in each "cell" It does explode properly, but now, how do I pull these things out of the array and get them defined as variables?? Or...do I even need to put them into the array in the first place?

THANK YOU for any help someone might be able to provide!!

Yes, more or less. However, I'm trying to find some way to be able to pass those variables via POST, not GET as suggested above. Using GET, the end user can modify the values of the variables and there is little way for me to determine if that had happened. With POST I have a little more control, though not much.

So while you can transfer control to another page server side using the header() function and GET variables, I'm curious to find out if there is a way to do something similar server side but using POST.

Hi all -

I am using php/MySQL on an ISP in which there are other users. Everyone has SSH access and can therefore enter everyone else's directories and read any world-readable files. I have a config.inc file which contains my MySQL username and password. This file is located outside of my web directory (to prevent web browsers from reading it). In addition, my ISP added the user 'www' to my group, enabling me to make config.inc group readable but not user readable. Therefore, none of the other users can SSH into the system and read my username and password.

This is great, but there is one more concern: if the user 'www' can read this file, isn't it possible for any other user to write a php script, executable by 'www', that instructs the web server to echo the contents of this file? All they have to know is the directory and name of the file they are looking for.

Anyone have suggestions on how to close this security hole?

Thanks, Jamie

I agree with everything you have said. I just don't think there is a good way to get people from asking these types of questions, without someone sitting there reading every message and filtering them according to topic. We are stuck with a high-volume list where lots of newbies come to ask us questions. If PHP wasn't so damn good and so popular we wouldn't be having this conversation.

I get frustrated by people sending huge quotes, and leaving 4 of those auto generated list tags behind. If they didn't, the traffic on the list, size wise, would be halved.

Although I somewhat agree with the webmin sentiment, after having tried to do simple maintenance on a cobalt for someone, it seems a real dog for anything outside the normal scope of what they want you to do.

Webmin is not the slickest interface, but seems to offer a lot of flexibility.

Rather than rewriting something, perhaps you could vounteer to design a better interface for existing webmin stuff.

A PHP-based version of webmin would be nice, but it's already a rather developed project, and after considering how to do it myself, I realized there's a whole hell of a lot of configurations and systems to have to consider beyond my few linux distros.

I agree though, it would be nice in PHP, but I think that you can still do a little more system level scripting in Perl right now.

You should configure and compile PHP as a standalone executeable (without --with-apxs or without --with-apache) and in the top of your script you should put

#!/usr/bin/php -q

or whatever the path to PHP is (check the output of phpinfo() ).

the -q flag is to supress headers.

Good question! $PHP_SELF is a global variable, so you need to declare it in functions:

I have this page where I am printing some items that are defined by size and color which all the info is pulled from a database.

in the first item loop PRINT ("<td><input type=\"text\" name=\"$Color$Temp[$f]\" size=\"3\"></td>\n"); translated looks like this. <td><input type="text" name=\"WhiteS" size="3"></td>

meaning the color white and the size Small.

Now the next loop does what it is suppose to and returns a value of <td><input type="text" name=\"BlackS" size="3"></td>

These get posted to the next page. Now for the PROBLEM

without hard coding it how can I get the value of BlackS meaning I know the color and sizes but how do I put the variable together to print the value of it.

On the 2nd page I would like to echo $Color$Temp[$f] but that does not return the value of the item. I need $Color$Temp[$f] to turn into the variable not a value. So I can echo the variable. Someone please help.

(*NOTE* the reason I do not want to hard code it is that I have a list of 102 colors which makes for a really long script.)

I took a look at this page (and all the functions referenced therein). While there must be a use for these functions otherwise they wouldn't have been included in PHP, I'm at a total loss as to why anyone would ever use them. Why wouldn't you just call the function (or do whatever) yourself? Could anyone offer some insight?

True - but with the magic of Apache's mod_rewrite -- you can make a URL appear to a browser as: http://www.yourdomain.com/bar -- but on your server, it can be rewritten as: http://www.yourdomain.com/1.php?foo=bar.

mod_rewrite is extremely cool. you can read more about it at: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_rewrite.html

if you want it for all of your URL's, make DocumentRoot a PHP script. you might tricky problems with images and other non-script files, but that's ok because you can just check for the file extensions, echo he mie tpye and readfile() it.

That and all the links pointing to the old .html files will be broken...

So if you mix PHP and HTML in a file, PHP will be slower to parse those files? I thought it was smart enough to parse only what was within the recognized start and end tags (<? ?>, <?php ?>, <script language="php"></script>, etc)?

Hi, I've got a db with a username and password in it. I can let people log in, like SELECT * FROM table WHERE username = username AND password = password.

But how can I add an access level column so that I can have different levels of security. So admin's can read everything, but users can only read certain sections.

How could I add to my db and structure a query?

Any ideas would be good,

attached mail follows:

One solution: You set up a separate table: user_level { level_id (unsigned int), level_description (varchar 100 )}

it looks like this: level_id level_description 100 admin 200 user

In your user table you add level_id as a field. After a good validation of the user (username and password), you grab the level_id and make a session variable out of it.

Than in you page you decide what you show or not to the user based upon the level_id

if( $level_id <= 100 ){ show link for admin } if( $level_id >= 101 && $level_id <= 200 ){ show link for user }

Having another table and separating the id by a hundred number lets you add more security level as the site grows.

This is one solution, I am shure there is many more and I would like to see what other people do as well...

How about you make another table with permisions and have a many-to-many relationship with the users table. Then you'll just check if the user has the given permission. It's harder to do but you'll apresiate the flexibility it provides.

First, I would NOT store passwords in a database. Rather, I'd store a hash based upon the password and username. Storing a password is dangerous as regards security.

Second, if you're asking for syntax on how to add the security level column: ALTER TABLE mytable ADD access tinyint unsigned not null default "0";

This will allow you to assigned security levels from 0 to 255. You would set 0 as the lowest level and 255 (admin) as the highest.

While you're at it, add the has security hash entry (discussed above): ALTER TABLE mytable ADD md5hash char(32) not null default "";

Hashes are always 32 characters.

Finally, as far as a query: SELECT * FROM mytable WHERE access <= $level;

This will permit the searcher to locate anything whereby the level is at $level or lower. -----Original Message----- From: Jordan Elver [mailto:jord.elvervirginnet.co.uk] Sent: Friday, March 16, 2001 1:28 PM To: PHP General Mailing List; PHP DB Mailing List Subject: [PHP-DB] Login System with access levels

Hi all,

I've recently discovered the extract function (thanks to the poster regarding it), and have found it to save lots of time. I'm having a problem though. 99 times out of 100 when someone thinks they've found a "bug" it's actually their misuse of the function, so i'm pretty sure this is the case with me. Anyway, here's the deal:

I have a function. Inside this function i have

global $name, $type, $location; (and others)

I make a call to a mysql database and get the result in $result. Then I used to do this:

$name = $row["name"]; $type = $type["type"]; etc.

extract makes this a lot nicer. However, at the end of this function i call another function. This also uses the same global variables. Previous this worked fine. But now that i'm using extract, while i do have access to the variables in the function, i can't get them in the next.

My guess is that the way extract works, (somehow, who knows), its creating a local variable named $name and setting my info to that, as opposed to $name = $row["name"] which sets the global. So, even though i can access $name in the function, its lost to the next. This isn't a huge issue--i can go back to the old way, or pass the variables in the function, but there are enough that i wanted to know if anyone else has experienced this. Is there some way to tell extract to extract the variables and set the results to the global versions? Maybe i'm way off and its a small code error, but I really do doubt this, as i've commented out lines and gone back and forth and get the same result. here's the basic idea though: function tester(){ global $name; $row = mysql_fetch_array($sql_result); $name = $row["name"]; nextone(); /*this works fine, but if i have extract($row) and comment out the $name = $row["name"] line, then i can't see the variable in the next function*/

} function nextone(){ global $name; echo $name; }

any ideas?

Hello, (Using both 4.0.4pl1 and latest CVS as of today.) I have been having similar problems with defining my own session handling routings and register_globals. If register_globals is off, a new session doesn't seem to call the "write" handler, thus the session never gets stored. With register_globals=on, the session gets stored correctly.

I've done some testing and found out a fix to the problems which ends up being better than keeping register_globals on. Here's my code for my "read" handler (PostgreSQL-based).

------------------ function sess_read($sid) { global $SESS_DBH;

$qry = "SELECT value FROM sessions WHERE sid = '$sid'"; $qid = pg_exec($SESS_DBH, $qry);

if (pg_numrows($qid) > 0) { list($value) = pg_fetch_row($qid, 0); return $value; }

return ""; } -------------------

Originally (last line in function above)php-generallists.php.net, I was returning a FALSE instead of a blank string. When I switched over to returning a blank string (when there wasn't any data in the session database), my "write" handler gets called correctly.

I'm not sure if this will fix anybody else's problems, but if you change your read handler to return a blank string instead of a FALSE condition, it may start working for you as well! (If it DOES help you out, please let me know.)

I am attempting to create a dynamic url from a field that has the value of the dynamic url.

Here is the scenario:

1 - Field in MySql database = $logo_link_var = page.php3?afl=$afl&site=$site&page=contact&ad=$ad_type 2 - Select logo_link_var from database and assign to $logo_link -- code is:

$search_query = "select site.logo_link_var from site where ( $afl = site.afl_name )"; $result = mysql_query ( $search_query );

$logo_link = mysql_result ( $result, 0, "site.logo_link_var" ); (only 1 record matches query) $logo = "<a href='$logo_link'><img src='../allimages/$logo_graphic' width='$logo_link_width' height='$logo_link_height' border='0' alt='$logo_alt_text'></a>";

When I click on the link I receive parse errors -- and the window displays this section in the url:

page.php3?afl=$afl&site=$site&page=contact&ad=$ad_type

The program is not finding the $afl or $site values

if I create the $logo variable as follows -- it works OK.

$logo = "<a href='page.php3?afl=$afl&site=$site&page=contact&ad=$ad_type'><img src='../allimages/$logo_graphic' width='$logo_link_width' height='$logo_link_height' border='0' alt='$logo_alt_text'></a>";

Helloppl, a problem with a file_upload form :-( Here is what I've done so far:

File test.php which has the form is this: <HTML> <BODY> <?php include("handle_upload.php"); ?> <FORM ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" ACTION="<?php print $PHP_SELF ?>" METHOD="POST"> <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="MAX_FILE_SIZE" VALUE="64000"> <INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="go!"> <INPUT TYPE="file" NAME="up_file"> </FORM> </BODY> </HTML>

Here is the included php file (handle_upload.php): <?php if(isset($up_file)){ print "<P>You have succesfully sent the following file:<BR>\n"; print "path: $up_file<BR>\n"; print "filename: $up_file_name<BR>\n"; print "filesize: $up_file_size<BR>\n"; print "filetype: $up_file_type<BR>\n"; } ?>

When one submits a file (file exists and is within given MAX_FILE_SIZE boundaries), the handle_upload.php condition is true, so I get the following output in my browser:

You have succesfully sent the following file: path: /tmp/phpvtMKjj filename: test2.jpg filesize: 27365 filetype: image/jpeg <and again the form to upload another file>

Then I go and check under /tmp and I do not find anything :-(

I have in my php.ini: ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; ; File Uploads ; ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; file_uploads = On upload_tmp_dir = /tmp upload_max_filesize = 2M

I am using Apache 1.3.14 with DSO and php is a .so and Php is version 4.0.4

It is not a permissions problem cause I checked the Apache logs, and all dirs that need to be accessed are actually writable by the httpd user. I have read through "Handling file uploads" (http://www.php.net/manual/it/features.file-upload.php) and I don't see what is wrong :-(

I wish user to know somewhat is the image he/she is going to upload, so I want to display this image before user uploading. For this action, I would be able to control the 'BROWSE' button that appears on form.

PHP has associative and numeric (normal) arrays. But is_array() says only if it is an array or not. The distinction could only be made if you look at keys. Keys can be integers or strings. I hope this was correct, if not, Andrei can correct me :)

Norberto, check the compilation (make command), because you are simple not compiling PHP with postgres support. Check the configure, to see if it really finds the postgres distro, or if it checks it, doesn't find it, and says "I won't give support for postgres".

Hi there,

I was using POST method on all my forms but I had to change them to GET because of "expired page" errors (I noticed this as soon as I began using PHP4 sessions).

It seems that GET works well so far, but I wonder if there's something else I should be aware of. Are both methods equivalent?

TIA,

Okay, I have a bugger here. I am working on a script for my site to parse articles, comments, so that people use a special markup (like [b] [/b] for <b> </b>, etc). One of the feature I want to implement is a [code] feature that will parse the code between [code] and [/code] like it would in hightlight_string().

The problem is, I want this for all the code that could possible be represented in a comment or an article. In some of the articles I write, I have several examples of the code, and I would like each instance put through the above process, but not the entire article.

So, I have hit a snag. First, highlight_string actually prints out the results, so as far as I know, it doesn't return anything (http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.highlight-string.php) except for a true/false result.

What I want to have happen is parse the document, and take the stuff between the [code] tags, and parse that out. Of course, the entire article is being put through, so I imagine I will have to be using regular expressions or explode(), though I expect more the former.

For example, take this:

------------- A quick overview of echo, and how and why you should try and use inline HTML instead of outputting with echo. Just something real quick and easy that I think is rather important.

A quick overview of echo, and how it compares to coding your HTML as Inline. Test results have shown that inline display is 2 times faster than echo.

echo - 0.063347 secs inline - 0.035276 secs

For example: [code] <?phpif ($yes != "yes"){ echo "Yes is not Yes";}?> [/code] If you compare that to this: [code] <?phpif ($yes != "yes"){ ?>Yes is not Yes <?php}?> [/code] While this may not be immediately noticeable in small programs, if the program is large, or it starts to recieve a lot of hits, than you will appreciate the little extra speed that inline prints give you. Sure, it requires a bit of extra work on your part, but it does make for nicer programming.

Also, if you think about it, its much easier to use inline than echo'ing everything you do. No more escaping the " in the HTML in the echo's. And you should use the " even if you plan on using echo, as its good form. ---------------

Now, that would be in the database. When the article is veiwed, it is sent through a parser. The parser will pick up the code tags, and parse what is in between through highlight_string().

Unfortunately, like I said, I cannot figure out how to do this, maintaining the structure of the article, while keeping it in one area. I don't want to create a seperate table to hold the code, and have that inserted into the articles as need parsed, just doesn't seem efficient enough.

Any help would be appreciated. If you could point me to even a script that does something like this, I could hack my way through it, but I have don't know where to start with this. Thanks.

I am having a helluva time getting PHP 4.0 to work with my apache browser. I add code for the PHP software for instance: <?php phpinfo(); ?> And all I get is a blank screen. I built php as an apache DSO. I know it is getting loaded cause it bitches if the libphp file is not available. I have recompiled several time. I'd sure like some help with this. Spending way to much time getting it to work and no time developing the app.

I have a form that allows user to either upload a file from the client to the server or take the contents of the textarea and dump it in a new file on the server. Unfortunately I have tried to make the form write the new file to the server and at the same time redirect to the this new file. It seems that php takes a second to write the new file and therefore only works if I delay the process by redirecting as follows: printf ("<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"3;URL=http://coolsite/test/newfile.html\">"); Is there any better process I can use?

With InterBase using persistent connections will save a lot of time. However, you need to be extra careful with how you manage transactions. InterBase uses a versioning engine for transaction management and you can easily screw up the system performance if you don't manage your transactions correctly.

Make sure you use short quick transactions. Don't leave a transaction open, always make sure the transaction is committed or rolledback. Lingering transactions are probably the biggest performance problem you'll encounter with InterBase.
