I posted a message last week on this subject, and I have searched for an
answer meanwhile.

So i decided to re ask my question a little bit differently since i did not
find the answer to my problem:

I use a web based application I am making and through this application I
create directories. I can create the directories with no problem using PHP
with full rights (777). The directories, then, needs to have their group
changed to something else and here is my problem,

I tried a chgrp (the php function) from php to change it as well as
exec('chgrp'...) or exec('chown' ...) and then I tried a system('chgrp'...)
and system('chown'...). All this to no success. Someone told me, here on the
list, that apache was runing as nobody:nobody, so it had no rights to change
rights. We changed the user:group of apache and called it apache:apache.
then we re-tried all our experiences, to no avail. I am sure I am having all
the rights necessary because I can delete the directories I create with no
trouble.

Note: If I connect in console mode with the user apache, i can chown the
directory as I wish.

Any suggestion on how to change rights on directories would be appreciated.
(With PHP or any other solution)

Thanks in advance

I have run into a problem similar to this. Basically what I have found is
that there is no way to do this sort of thing using php through apache.
I fixed my problem by writting a perl script that creates the directories
and sets the permissions/groups correctly. I have php write out a text
file and dump it into a directory, the perl script runs from cron and
checks the directory every few minutes and creates the appropriate
directories based on the data in the files. It a hackish way of doing it,
but it actually works quite well. If you didn't want to use cron, you
could just have a process running that monitors the directory constantly.
There are a number of ways to do this, including using cgi php or C or
whatever.
There are very good reasons why you can't do what you want to do, you
just have to get creative.

Thanks a lot for the answer, it's the first constructive response i have for
my problem.
I was banging my head on the walls with this one.

I might just use C/Cron to correct this. If you implemented this could you
guide me a little
bit in the steps to follow to complete this?

Thanks again.

Hello All!

Since I upgraded to PHP4, file upload into MySQL tables seems not to work
anymore. I am using PHPMyAdmin to access the database. When I try to upload
a file there, I get the Error "The file '[tmpdir]/php129947' must be in the
database directory or be readable by all" where [tmpdir] is the
upload_tmp_dir specified in php.ini. This directory has 777 permissions, so
it is readable by all.

I'm confused because it worked without any problems with PHP 3.

Thanks very much for any hint...

You saty the _directory_ is world readable, but the file being uploaded
may not be world readable - you may have to chmod it as part of the
process.

To get a list of the tables, you could:

SELECT TABLE_NAME FROM ALL_TABLES;

...but, since you're on Oracle anyway, why not do something even quicker?

SELECT SYSDATE FROM DUAL;

will return the current date.

SELECT TO_CHAR(SYSDATE,'DD-MON-YY HH24:MI:SS') FROM DUAL;

will return the current date and time.

Actually, in Oracle parlance, the table name is EPS_SERVICE_INSTRUCTIONS, and it exists in the ARADMIN schema. If there is no public synonym called EPS_SERVICE_INSTRUCTIONS, then you'd need to specify both schema and table name (eg: owner.table_name) in order to view the table.

If you didn't have the privs to view a given table, you'd not be able to view it whether you specified the schema or not. :)

A list of the tables you can "see" along with their schema (owners) can be obtained by running the following SQL query:

SELECT OWNER,TABLE_NAME FROM ALL_TABLES;

>Whee!

Indeed. :)

..or, try:

SELECT OWNER||'.'||TABLE_NAME FROM ALL TABLES;

Just a comment, have you tried using the OCI or ORA interface? instead of going through ODBC. Since you already have SQL*Net setup (you must have for ODBC from memory) why not try it. It should be faster than straight ODBC plus you wont get caught by any ODBC driver issues (i know the drivers can change things like they do accept COLUMN like '*foo*' and they have limits on very large SQL statements).

Using ODBC will be easier if you are swapping from Access to Oracle, but if you use a DB Abstaction layer (see PEAR, PHPLib, Metabase) this wont be an issue either.

I got it.

I had the table name listed as aradmin_eps_service_instructions when in fact it should have been aradmin.eps_service_instructions (with the dot).

I did not know this because all of the tables I had seen linked to this before used _ ,but the actual name (which i normally don't have priveledge to even view) uses the .

Lets start at the basics.

What is the easiest way to *make sure* that i am connecting to that oracle db?

Anyway I can just list the tables, or something. odbc_tables or something like that?..

-----Original Message----- From: Brooks, Ken [mailto:KBrooksnetEPS.com] Sent: Thursday, March 22, 2001 9:32 AM To: php-generallists.php.net Subject: [PHP] RE: Oracle ODBC sql [ORA-00972: identifier is too long]

I only mentioned the part about the access, just to prove that I know i have a select statement working with an ODBC source.

I know that I am connecting to the Oracle database, because if i put in a bogus user/pass i get an error stating so, when I supply the correct credentials I get no errors.

So that just leaves something to do with possibly the table names. The exact table name is: ARADMIN_EPS_SERVICE_INSTRUCTIONS by my count that is 32 characters. That could be a problem. Any way around that, or to alias a name to that? (Mind you, i don't have access to that database to change the table names). I can only query from it.

The exact offending line number that is returned is 37.

36: $si_oracle_query = "SELECT * FROM ARADMIN_EPS_SERVICE_INSTRUCTIONS where ATMID = 'PN2000'"; 37: $si_oracle_result = odbc_exec($td_oracle, $si_oracle_query);

I haven't used Oracle with ODBC, but nothing leaps out at me from your code. Some comments/ideas:

The full meaning of error 0972 is that the name of a schema object (table, view, username etc) is too long (longer than 30 characters, maybe more for Oracle 8). The query statement you are using looks OK. How about displaying $username and $password? And have you isolated which line is causing the error?

The relevance of ' and " I suppose is this. By default Oracle is not case sensitive about the names of database objects, but it is if when you create them you enclose the name in double quotes. For instance if you simply say 'create table euan', then you will be able to access it with 'select * from euan', 'select * from EUAN', 'select * from Euan' etc. But if you say 'create table "euan"', then you will forever have to say 'select * from "euan"'.

Problems can indeed arise when interfacing between Access and Oracle, because I believe that Access is case sensitive by default, and Oracle programmers tend not to expect this. But none of this seems very applicable to your case... or is it?

-----Original Message----- From: Brooks, Ken [mailto:KBrooksnetEPS.com] Sent: 22 March 2001 14:04 To: 'Greig, Euan'; php-generallists.php.net Subject: Oracle ODBC sql [ORA-00972: identifier is too long]

I'm getting this message when i try to run a query on an Oracle database thru ODBC. I can connect to the database just fine.

here is the code i'm trying to use.

$td_oracle = odbc_connect($dsn, $username, $password) OR DIE("Unable to connect to oracle aradmin database"); $si_oracle_query = "SELECT * FROM SERVICE_INSTRUCTIONS"; $si_oracle_result = odbc_exec($td_oracle, $si_oracle_query);

the result i get is: Warning: SQL error: [Oracle][ODBC Oracle Driver][Oracle OCI]ORA-00972: identifier is too long., SQL state 37000 in SQLExecDirect in c:\program files\apache group\apache\htdocs\odbc_test.php3 on line 34

i'm connecting to an MSAccess database thru odbc just fine and sending a similar query, it works just fine. do i need to do something different because it is an oracle database?

(I read somewhere that oracle uses ' and/or " for Identifiers) Is that on the right track?

thanks! -ken

Yes, Flex is a rewrite of lex.

I have tried using multiple PHP content manager programs and cannot seem to get any of them to save files that have been edited over the web interface unless the file permissions are set to let everybody write to them.

Of course, we don't want to have out files writeable by the world. I have tried using these different managers in their own directories, even protected the directories with a .htaccess file. The same ID that I allow to access the directory is also the owner of the file.

What seems to happen once I get authenticated and allowed into the directory, I may be wrong here, is that my server thinks I am a 'nobody' and so when I submit the file changes I get permissions error. Everything works fine with all of the different programs I've tried; if I simply give everybody write access to the file, but that is not an option.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, your web server is apparently running as user "nobody", a common configuration. See the manual chapter on security for more info on setting proper file permissions with PHP.

I've kind of hit a wall. I am using the data in an oracle table to create a table in mysql that is equivalent.

It only gets thru 82 sometimes 83 records. Doesn't error out or anything, only inserts (and reports back to the screen) 82. There are 134 fields in the table.

When i just print out the fieldnames, etc, it prints all of them out. When I try to to alter(add) to the mysql table, it doesn't seem to make it all the way thru.

Ideas?

Set up your .htaccess file as usual, pointing to a userfile created with htpasswd. Place the .htaccess file in the directory with your PHP script(s), and users will be automatically prompted for username/password before being served any file in that directory (at least the first time during that session, anyway).

Within your PHP script(s), you can determine the user by reading the REMOTE_USER http environment variable:

$user = getenv("REMOTE_USER");

The user the webserver process runs under may not have the permission to upload the file. In many cases, the webserver runs as nobody. Thus, if you want to upload a file, nobody needs write-access to the directory into which the file should be uploaded.

Sebastian,

Apache is running as a user, usually nobody:nobody, or sometimes www:www. That user is trying to move the file when you do the move in php. When you login through an ftp client, a different user is doing the move (you). You need to make sure that the user nobody has enough permissions on your target directory to do the move. Depending on how locked down you want it, there are several options: rwx for owner only, make the owner/group of the directory nobody. rwx for group - change the directory's group to nobody, or add nobody into another group (along with, for instance, yourself) and make that directory belong to this new group. There are several more ways, but you probably want to keep away from 777 permissions on the directory if possible.

John - you want to do what Sebastian is doing. Check out Chapter 19. Handling file uploads in the php manual. It has everything you need to get going.

I just upgraded to php4.0.4pl1( so I could use zend optimizer) with t1lib.so.1, and I'm having some problems with t1lib work consistently. What is happening is when I try to center certain text on a card size image with a variable x coordinate, imagepstext will act as if $x =0. I checked to see if my function was returning the correct number and it is. This script has worked great with php3.0.12, and I even reinstalled it to see if it still worked, and it did.

Here are the snippets from the script:

function getx($string,$font,$size){ $bbox = imagepsbbox($string, $font, $size); $width = $bbox[2] - $bbox[0]; $x = 252 - ceil($width/2); return $x; }

$x = getx($name,$font1,18); imagepstext($im, "$name", $font1, 18, $black, $white, $x, 45);

IF (for example) $name = "Registered Representative" it will not center it (acts like x=0, left justified) $name = "Registered Representativ" it will not center it (acts like x=0, left justified) $name = "Registered Representati" it will center $name = "Registered Repre5entative" it will center (char "5" can be any letter but "s")

Any ideas? I would hate to have to go back to using ttf again.

as allready stated you need to set the cookie before data is outpued, you can override this by editing your php.ini

output_buffering = on;

on another note, I would use sessions for all this, youve created a tone of code that does almost exactly what sessions can do in a matter of a few lines.

I would suggest for you to take all the complicated stuff out of a simple text script and try something like this: <% setcookie("TestValue","Working",600) %>

Make sure that nothing is being sent prior to setting the cookie, and see if IE prompts you...

Good Luck!

I'm kinda new to the PHP scene so if the below plea for help is incredibly simple ... well.. What can I say? I'm stuck.

I've been on the PHP website for the last hour reading the documentation on arrays and all the functions associated with it but have yet to find a straight forward explaination on how to accomplish this code. Here's what I have: (PHP4) $m = "03"; $list = array(01=>"Jan", 02=>"Feb", 03=>"Mar", 04=>"Apr", 05=>"May", 06=>"Jun", 07=>"Jul", 08=>"Aug", 09=>"Sep\", 10=>"Oct", 11=>"Nov", 12="Dec"); $month = $list[$m]; print "$month\n";

What I want to print is the month in Text format, which in this instance should be Mar . I even tried: $month = array_keys($list, $m);

Now I know that $list[x]; references the location of an item so I know why the previous code doesn't work in that respect, since nowhere is 01 a location but an association within the array. Right?

I've seen examples on printing every element of an array. Printing every element of a 2d array, poping elements from the beginning and end of an array but not an example of getting a single element from an array.

I'm sure I'm doing something backwards and might even be confused on how the array works but don't know what. If any one has any better solutions to this code please feel free to post.

Thanks for any assistance anyone can provide. -Sterling

Right?

The keys to an associative array should be quoted. Also, that escaped quote on "Sep\" is throwing everything off. Try:

$m = "03"; $list = array("01"=>"Jan", "02"=>"Feb", "03"=>"Mar", "04"=>"Apr", "05"=>"May", "06"=>"Jun", "07"=>"Jul", "08"=>"Aug", "09"=>"Sep", "10"=>"Oct", "11"=>"Nov","12"="Dec");//keys quoted, no escaped quotes $month = $list["$m"];//associative array element index quoted print "$month\n";

-- CC

attached mail follows:

You can do this instead.. $month[] = array("Jan","Feb" ......"Dec");

$m = 3; $real_m = $m-1 echo "Month= $month[$real_m]; //Mar

You can also have PHP assign the first element of the array to index 1 instead of 0.. I think you accomplish that by doing something like $month[] = array(1=>Jan,Feb,Mar...); If you need to get the month as $m='03'; you can strip the first zero using any one of the suitable string functions.

PS: (i noticed that this doesn't really answer your specific question. But this will work properly for your needs)

Thanks to all that wrote in with input on this issue.

I really appreciate the assistance.

Thanks to CC Zona and James for the code sample. It looks like there were typo's in my code and it threw me for a minute after recieving/applying all the emails. That backslash wasn't suppose to be in the original email I sent out, it was just from my Emacs window wrapping and the = next to Dec became a problem after I quoted everything else but I found it eventually.

Thanks again. It's now working as I expected it too. -Sterling

I am trying to register a session variable in a function without using the global in the beginning. The reason for this is that I don´t always know how many variables I am going to register (I separate the different fields with | like this, "username|email|cellphone" and explode them).

Is there some way I can make all the variables in the function global, so I can get the session variables registered?

function test() { global $username // <-- With this, it works. Without it, it doesn´t session_start(); $username="tobias"; session_register("username"); }

You can pass the variable(s) to the function as an argument. Perhaps it will be easier to deal with a variable number variables <g> by packing all of them into a single array, then passing the array.

so your trying to take a list of variables and register them as session vars?

<?php

function make_session($vars) { $vars = explode('|', $vars); foreach($vars as $pos => $val) { global $val; session_register($val); } }

this will work for that.

function register_vars($reg_var) {

global $$global_vars[$i]; // Variable variables

This way I only make the nessesary variables global.

i would just stop the database server and dump the table to a file with mysqldump, just run it from the command line for example:

/path/to/mysqldump -h host -p password -u username databasename > /path/to/file

then you have a comple dump of your database and database structure.

Are there any limitations on how many records I can pull from an Oracle Database over ODBC?

I have it pulling one record just fine, but when I tell it to pull all records, which should be about 75,000, it only gets about 600 or so.

Does the php script time out (i'm running it thru a web browser).

What could it be?...

I thought maybe the php script was running to fast for the network connection. So i put in a sleep(1) It still only ran for about the same amount of time (less records pulled of course).

Could it be losing the connection instead because of lack of activity?

Would a persistent connection make any difference?

Okay, I'm baffled.

I told it to Connect to the database. I then started a loop of (odbc_fetch_row) I get about 6000 records returned (that i'm just plopping into an array for speed).

That's all, much more than when i process each one, but I would think it is more than possible to grab more than 6000 records from a database.

right?

There is a timeout, that should halt a script if it runs too long. If you can, check php.ini set max_execution_time to something greater than 30 seconds, see if that helps.

Try include your ORACLE_HOME or ORACLE_HOME/lib to ld.so.conf and run ldconfig.

Try start apache again. Good luck.

attached mail follows:

check php.net and read the 'README' and 'INSTALL' files that come in the .tar.gz file for more detailed information.

very basically, you want to get the sources, untar/zip them, run configure, then build the thing and test it (you can do all of this as an unprivileged user). then install as root (or whatever account has the necessary privileges)

(replace php..... with whatever the PHP tarball is named)

at the prompt (you dont need to be root) type: tar xvfz php.....tar.gz cd php..... ./configure --enable-trans-sid make make test

if you didnt get any errors, then (as root) type: make install

then configure your webserver and restart the webserver

if you have any specific troubles, let me know, i've config'd PHP on three different redhat linux installations using apache and havent had any problems yet.

hello

I use crypt to crypt member's passwords and use the following verify

"$stored_password" is the encrypted, stored password.

"$password" is the plain text password you just got from the form.

## Check the passwords $encrypted_password = crypt($password,$stored_password);

if ($encrypted_password = $stored_password) { $logged_in = 1; };

the problem I am having is that it is only comparing the first 8 characters of the password

so if my password was randyrandy

i could get in with randyran

How do I fix this

the crypt password is stored in the database with enough room to store the password so it isn't cutting it off when inserting to the database.

thanks

randy

you dont... as far as i know, crypt only works on <= 8 chars it will truncate anything over 8.

perhaps try using md5 or mcrypt...

Hello!

I am constructing an intranet site. The site is all secure, I mean, all the pages are under a directory that needs a password to get in. These are facts:

A) The user information is on a LDAP; B) The user should entry the pair login/password only once; C) Any access to the site without logging first will be routated to a login page;

So what would be a good solution on that?

If this work, I would like to create a documentation about it. All help will be welcome.

Thank you in advance and for your attention,

Romulo

the way i do it for sites that need minimal to medium is to generate a session id whenever a user comes to the site. this session id is stored in mysql table and as a cookie on the user's computer. when the user logs in correctly, the username is stored in the database with the session ID (not as a cookie, only the session ID is saved as a cookie).

i try and make it my goal to never store any usernames or passwords on the user's computer. the existence of the session ID is enough to allow me to look up that ID in the database and see if the user logged in correctly in the past few hours (expire time is ~6 hours, so after 6 hours of inactivity, the id is cleansed from the database)

at the top of ever PHP page that requires a valid login, i check to see if the user has a session ID stored as a cookie, then look up that ID in the database to check if it's valid. if the ID is valid, i check to see if a username is also stored in the database. if there's a valid username stored alongside the session ID, then the user is recognized as being logged in. if no username is in the database, then i ask the user to log in.

the session table has these fields: id (the generated session id) lastused (last time the user accessed a page) username (the username that the user logged in as)

(password information is stored in another table)

so... basically, if the user logs in correctly, it will generate a random session id and store the username in the database. *only* the session id will be stored on the client.

when the user comes back to the website, if the id in their cookie matches an id in the database *and* the username field has a valid username, the user is not asked to log in again. if the session id is not found in the database (or is expired) the user is directed to a login page.

any comments or thoughts on my method are welcome; especially any weakn
