attached mail follows:

I've searched the archives and relevant web sites to no avail, so as a
last resort I'm turning to this knowledgeable group of people.

I'm working to set up a user authentication system using native PHP 4
sessions on a box running Apache, mod_perl, mod_ssl, PHP (the lastest),
etc.

PHP was compiled with the following options:

'./configure' '--with-sybase-ct=/usr/local/freetds'
'--with-config-file-path=/usr/local/lib' '--with-
apache=../apache_1.3.19' '--enable-track-vars' '--enable-memory-
limit=yes'

Here's the problem:
The browser is redirected by Apache (in the current setup, which for
other reasons won't be changed) from a URL like
http://somebody.com/foo/bar to a URL like https://somebody.com/bar.

I have had no luck getting sessions, session ids, HTTP_POST_VARS, etc to
successfully survive the redirect when the user moves between pages in
the site. (passing variables through the url works, but we need
something more secure than that).

My feeling is that I'm missing something obvious. Cookies are enabled
and working. I can start sessions and store variables, but only within
one page. Once the user goes through a redirect (to the same server),
everything is lost. It doesn't _seem_ like this should be a limitation
of PHP, but maybe it is.

Can anyone help clarify this?

Thanks,
Andrew Elliston

attached mail follows:

I don't know 100& for sure, but I believe since it is going to an https
link, it considers it a new domain(or something) and that's why the sessions
aren't persisting. The same thing happens if you redirect from say
www.domain.com to www2.domain.com. I odn't know any way around it, except
encoding, passing in URL and decoding on the other side.

Hi Andrew,

I`m not sure if switching from http to https will count as a *new* domain,
but here is a link to some information which may solve your problem.

I had this same problem and it constantly broke our whole site.
So I tried a different approach and this has been working great:

Instead of <? header ("Location: sometoherpage.php"); ?>

Consider: <? include "someotherpage.php"; ?>

It works flawlessly, always, and maintains your session.

Because my site ( a shopping cart/store ) is so dependent on sessions, I
stopped using redirects and "Location: " functions entirely.

We just use <? include "..." ?> now and all sessions work
wonderfully. Even without cookies, etc.

Well here's a pattern replace issue which I've been working on without
success hence the post. 8^)

I have a variable that has stuff in it (tree, bird, nest, )(yes there is
a trailing space)

What I'd like to do is strip off the last ', ' and replace it with a
single space so that I have
(tree, bird, nest )

I thought I had it with a simple substr_replace but it only returned my
replace character.

I thought that ereg_replace would work but got infinitly lost with the
[]\s(.) stuff.

If I was in perl I'd do something like (s/,.$/ /ig). I think. Never
fully grasped the pattern stuff anyway. 8^/

But anywhoo... if anyone has any ideas send them along. Any help would
be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Thanks to those that emailed.

$query = "tree, bird, nest, ";
$new = substr($query,0,2);

Doesn't seem to work. It returns "tr".

I think maybe I should also mention that to get this variable I have an
array that is placed through a for loop
// file://loop through array
for($i = 0;$i <$num;$i++){
   print $fields[$i] . "<br>";
   $query .= "$fields[$i], ";
  }

That's where I get $query from. It's been returned from a multiple
select via a web form.
I want to format this selected data into a query string so I can plug it
into a SQL statement.

Thanks for the input and if any one has any thoughts on the subject
appreciate the assistance.

If this is the case, then all you need is this:

$query .= implode( ", ", $fields );

This will do exactly what you want...

Thanks for the emails and reply.

Someone mentioned substr and after first failing with the attempt I went
to the PHP site and looked it up.

Here's code that works for what I'm trying to do.
$test = "tree, bird, nest, ";
$new = substr($test, 0, strlen($test)-2);
$new = "$new ";

Appreciate nudges in the right directions.
-Sterling

attached mail follows:

Also consider something like :

<?php
$var = 'a,b,c,';

$var[strrpos($var,',')] = ' ';

print $var; // 'a,b,c '
?>

The idea behind it is similar to this :

<?php
$s = 'abcabc'; // define our string

$s[1] = 'z'; // change second character in $s to 'z'

print $s; // azcabc

$key = strrpos($s,'c'); // 5 (pos of last 'c' in string $s)

print $s[$key]; // c

$s[$key] = 'z'; // change sixth character in $s to z

print $s; // azcabz
?>

Info to know :

strrpos() : Find position of last occurrence of a char in a string

strpos() : Find position of first occurrence of a char in a string

Looks like you found substr() , it helps out for these sorts of things
too :) If anyone has more information on this subject, please post.

Regards,

Philip

Hi!

Can anyone tell me what the difference with those PHP version? I see
the version, "PHP 4.0.4pl1" with a "pl1" and some other version, "PHP 4.0.4"
without a "pl1". Does either of these version had to do with php.ini file?

Thanks,
Scott

Hi!

When the website have a script error, it display the error message (sort
of a debugging error). What I don't like about that error message is that
it display the include_path comments.

Warning: Failed opening '../dp_banner_menu_final1_support.php' for inclusion
(include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php.ini') in
/home/website/test_knowledge_base/support/tech_support.php on line 10

The comment with "(include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php.ini')". It would
tell people where the the php.ini file is and would encourage somebody to
hack into it.

What can I do about it?

Would I be better off with using the PHP x.xx.xx pl1???? instead of PHP
x.xx.xx?

Thanks,
Scott

attached mail follows:

If you have permission to modify php.ini, see the setting "display_errors"
and the attached comments. You can tell PHP to write these error messages to
a log file instead of to the browser.

You need to convert all the times you are comparing into a number such as
seconds since the Unix epoch (Jan 1, 1970 I think). Then you can use the
usual programming syntax to do what you want.

Hi,

I'm using IE 5.01 to upload a big (~50MB) file to a form.

The form works well for small files.
If I try a big file, IE timeout after 30 seconds
saying "cannot find server or DNS error"
This same exact php code works for small files...

I've modified php.ini to
max_execution_time = 120
memory_limit = 104857600 ; Maximum amount of memory a script
may consume (100MB)
post_max_size = 100M
upload_tmp_dir = /tmp ; temporary directory for HTTP
uploaded files (will use system default if not specified)
/tmp has 1GB free
upload_max_filesize = 104857600 ; 100 Meg default limit on file
uploads

I've verified this through the php info function.

I'm running Apache/1.3.9 (Unix) PHP/4.0.3pl1 on a Solaris 2.6 sparc server.

MS Internet Explorer 5.01 keeps timing out after 30 seconds...

Any ideas ?

You can use set_time_limit(); at the top of your script to set the max time limit. set_time_limit(0); will let it go forever, as I do not recommend this until you test the script and know the it doesn't have an endless loop or what not.

example: <?

set_time_limit(0); echo "test";

Hi,

i have a mysql table with the fields name and categorie. on my page search.php is a search mask where the visitor can insert a miscellaneous keyword.

this keyword should be the categorie.

basicly, how can i handle the problem, that the visitors keyword shows an output with all the entrys in the database where the keyword=categorie or how can i make links to defined categories?

i know how i can make simple queries in php but i couldn't find anything in the web for making this.

Hi,

I'm doing the exact same thing as you and I got the exact same problem. After getting almost crazy with trying everything possible to run a script as root, someone told me that I'm limited to the server permission. So I decided to simply create a java deamon wich run as root. This deamon wait on a port for commands (encrypted) to be executed.via fsockopen(...). Surprisly, it was easy and it work prety well...

Hope it helps

I do a similar thing on my machines, only instead of having a java daemon that runs as root I chose to create a database that the php script can insert user and other information into, then a perl script that is called from cron that fetches from the database and does the necessary user adds.

This is a nice system for adding users to many systems at once for a network that is not running NIS, as all of the linux machines on my network can fetch data from the database and add the users as necessary.

I don't, however, trust the security of this implementation, and only use it on our internal network that sits behind a firewall. I'd recommend that you take the same precaution.

What are you wanting to print? Here's a set of examples that may help understand what's happening with your code. In short, isset() is not being used properly.

// if $var is set, this will return 1. if not set then it will return 0. // essentially, you don't want to print this directly as you've seen, it // gives us 1 or 0. isset($var)

// these checks check for true. if ( isset($var) == true ) { print 'this is set'; }

if ( isset($var) == 1 ) { print 'this is set'; }

if ( isset($var) ) { print 'this is set'; }

// these checks check for false. if ( isset($var) == false ) { print 'this is not set'; }

if ( isset($var) == 0 ) { print 'this is not set'; }

if ( !isset($var) ) { print 'this is not set'; }

// This will check whether $var is empty but this way causes error if // error_reporting setting E_NOTICE is on (undefined variable) if ($var) { print 'this is set'; }

Which brings us to empty(), empty is similar to isset, here's an example of difference :

$var = 0;

if ( empty($var) ) { print 'this will print if $var is not set,0, or empty "" '; }

if ( isset($var) ) { print 'this is set, could be set to anything, including 0 or "" '; }

Wow this got long, hopefully it makes sense :)

Is there a better way to write the following snippet:

if ($priority == "000") { $fcol="high"; $pstr .= "<option value=\"000\" selected>High\n"; $pstr .= "<option value=\"050\">Medium\n"; $pstr .= "<option value=\"100\">Low\n"; } elseif ($priority == "050") { $fcol="med"; $pstr .= "<option value=\"000\">High\n"; $pstr .= "<option value=\"050\" selected>Medium\n"; $pstr .= "<option value=\"100\">Low\n"; } else { $fcol="low"; $pstr .= "<option value=\"000\">High\n"; $pstr .= "<option value=\"050\">Medium\n"; $pstr .= "<option value=\"100\" selected>Low\n"; }

I just hate having to repeat pieces of code. This piece here just generates a drop down list of items, with the current one being the selected one.

One thing I would do different is:

switch ($fcol){

case 000:

break;

case 050:

break;

default:

break; }

To me the switch/case code is easier to read/maintain.

I know that doesn't actually solve your repetition problem but it will make it a little easier to look at.

$val = array("000","050","100"); $val_name = array("Low","Medium","High"); $count = count($val); $counter = 0; while ($counter < $count) { if ($val[$counter] == $priority) { $selected = " selected"; } echo "<option value=\"$val[$counter]\"$selected>$val_name[$counter]</option>"; $counter++; }

attached mail follows:

Make sure you reset $selected at the end of the while loop.

if HTML readability is a concern you can also do something like the following( for static lists I find it easier this way ):

<?php $priority_selected[$priority] = 'SELECTED'; ?> <SELECT NAME="priority"> <OPTION VALUE="000" <?php echo($priority_selected['000'])?>>Low <OPTION VALUE="050" <?php echo($priority_selected['050'])?>>Medium <OPTION VALUE="100" <?php echo($priority_selected['100'])?>>High </SELECT>

Not quite... You need to reset $selected so that you don't end up with them all being selected when $priority="000". It's a pretty clever idea, though.

I've rearranged stuff a bit to make it look prettier, and to match the original functionality closer. Nothing personal, but I can't stand it when people use while for stuff that looks prettier as a for. =)

$val = array("000","050","100"); $val_name = array("High","Medium","Low"); $fcol_name = array("high","med","low"); $count = count($val); for ($counter = 0; $counter < $count; $counter++) { $selected = ""; if ($val[$counter] == $priority) { $selected = " selected"; $fcol = fcol_name[$counter]; } //if $pstr .= "<option value=\"$val[$counter]\"$selected>$val_name[$counter]</option>\r\n"; } //while

Yeah, someone mentioned that after I posted it, then I took a shotgun to my foot..haha. Yeah, well, hey, I release that code as a Beta Version anyways! =)

Yes, good ole' for, though I have been so inundated with while() that it just comes naturally. Hey, at least I don't printf() people to death!

Hi all,

We're all familiar with the skanky little box the web browser pops up to get your username/password in response to a 401 from the web server. What I want is the same functionality, except through a login web page instead.

I know how cookie-based or session-based logging in works with PHP, but I would actually prefer (since it's more general) an HTML-only solution if there is one. Or maybe there's something I can do to configure the server (Apache) to redirect to a login page if a 401 is generated.

Anyt thoughts? Help would be much appreciated.

HI I have a directory that works like this. The owner of each listing in the directory clicks on a little box that appears before their name and info in the directory. An Enter User Name and Password page is shown ( a simple form, can look as you like) The imbedded listing number is used to find their data record. The input user name and password is compared to the saved versions - if they match, an edit form is opened. If not, "Try again". It works well. No magic. p.s. the test looks for a match of a 'master' user name and password first. If this is used, the refresh shows the related specific user name and password in the input boxes. This provide an easy look-up function.

I'm having a problem with using cookies and flash.

When I pointed that the problem was _with_ cookie and flash, is when I resolv the same program using a pure HTML interface.

The exact problem, is that the session number, keep on changing when working with the flash interfase. This flash interfase, is not realising that it already has a session, a cookie, and a couple of varibles; and keep on creating again them every time it returns to the php code.

Using a short example, lets say that I have a Flash that calls a php that executes a "print $session" when the user clicks on a flash button. Every time that the user clicks on the flash, the session variable keeps on changing.

What I would like to know, if is some has had a similar problem, or point me in some direction where I can get some more information about working with cookie & flash.

Be thankful it was chmod, not something interesting like, say, rm -r :-)

I don't think any of the responses you got took into account email addresses like userhost.domain.tld. If you truely just want domain.tld it's a little more complex. I happened to have written a script a few months ago that does what you want. Even if you don't need something this complex in your case, my code uses 5 or 6 string functions and arrays so it's a pretty good example of how to manipulate strings in PHP.

<?php // Expecting a properly formatted email address. $string_in = 'stevemail.richmond.va.us';

// strpos() finds position of '' character. // substr() returns portion of email address to the // right of '' (the host). $string_tmp = substr( $string_in, strpos( $string, '' ) + 1 );

// substr_count() returns the # of occurrences of '.' within the host. $dot_count = substr_count( $string_tmp, '.' );

// If only one dot was found, we're done. if ( $dot_count == 1 ) { $string_out = $string_tmp; } // If more than one dot was found, there's more to do. else { // explode() splits the host into elements of an array. // The elements are the portions of the string between the dots. $parts = explode( '.', $string_tmp );

// count() returns the number of elements. We want the // last 2 elements. Since the array elements begin at 0, not 1, // we need to get elements n-2 and n-1, not n-1 and n, which // might normally be expected. $string_out = $parts[count( $parts ) - 2] . '.' . $parts[count( $parts ) - 1]; }

// print the desired output. echo $string_out; ?>

Hi,

I'm new to PHP (well I used it years ago), and have been using Perl ever since.

Someone told me that PHP is a lot more efficient than Perl, is this true ? I am developing a fairly large website using a MySQL database running on a cobalt RAQ3 server and so the speed of the scripts must be kept to a minimum. I have already started the site using Perl, but would it benefit me to change to PHP4.

Thanks, David.

Normally we try to keep our speeds to a maximum, which is why we use PHP. :)

It would not benefit you to change if you already know perl and have your project done in it. If it's a real project with a deadline, just do it with what you know best. That's probably the best route. BUT... if you've time, dig into PHP4. Maybe it

can help on this, or maybe it'll help in the future. It really just depends on what you want to do, and what you're comfortable with.

hi,

the best way to do this from a webserver (apache module) is to make php write some script that crond later executes as root (or some other user).

anyway, you should triple check everything for security bugs... and three times isn't enough :)

Only problem I have is the 103,000 messages in the group on the news server *cringe*..

Shhh! Don't complain about that or someone will start thinking it's a good idea to start expiring the old messages like other news admins do (wow is that a terrific archive of links, solutions, ideas, examples, and much other useful know-how).

I'm not complaining that they are all there, I use the news reader to search through 'em all.

Just complaining that my lil 'ol PII in the office takes 3-4 minutes to load the darn things :)

Two things come to mind: echo your $AddColQuery to ensure you are getting what you hope you are getting :-) and use mysql_error() after you run mysql_query on your query, to see if there is an error message being returned.

Hello,

Is it possible to have PHP resize an image on the server?

Example. If I upload a JPG file at about 40KB at 600x480 Resolution, but I only want to display it as a small thumbnail. But if clicking the thumbnail it then opens in a new window the full size version.

I have seen a auction site that I use, which is ASP and when I upload an image to sell, i notice that it gives the thumbnail and the full size images. How is this possible?

Any links to sites on this subject would excellent.

Perhaps i'm not following what you're trying to do, but why not manipulate the height/width img tag attributes to make it look like a thumbnail, but then when displaying it for real, take them out? there definitely have been posts about this (as usual, check the archives) and i'm sure a little searching through google will turn up some good stuff...try the php sites too (phpbuilder, etc)

Because then you have to download the entire large image.

Large images are bigger. :)

ok, so then read the image in using php's image functions, and use imagecopyresized...you'll even find a post about thumbnails...

Using a GD that has GIF support, you can do this....

<?php

// we expect $scale and $image to be defined, having been passed to us via // query string, e.g. http://www.foo.com/img.php3?image=test.gif&scale=4

// create an image object from the source file $srcImg = imagecreatefromgif($DOCUMENT_ROOT . $image);

// create a (blank) smaller image object $srcSize = getimagesize($DOCUMENT_ROOT . $image); $dstImg = imagecreate($srcSize[0]/$scale, $srcSize[1]/$scale);

// copy and resize from the source image object to the smaller blank one imagecopyresized($dstImg, $srcImg, 0, 0, 0, 0, $srcSize[0]/$scale, $srcSize[1]/$scale, $srcSize[0], $srcSize[1]);

// send the smaller image object to the browser header( "Content-Type: image/gif"); imagegif($dstImg);

// clean up imagedestroy($scrImg); imagedestroy($dstImg);

In a nutshell, you load the file into an array containing one line per element of the array.

You then work through the array until you find the line you want - if you know how many lines into the file it is you can of course directly reference the element (no_of_line -1 because
