The manual will answer all of your questions. At least these ones. Eg. take a look at:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.session-start.php http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.session-destroy.php (http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.session-end.php)
And for the overall impression:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.session.php
This should be enough to get you started.

I believe: Earlier versions of PHP/MySQL would do this? Other databases (Oracle?) would do this?
I was messing with the same question with PostgreSQL yesterday (?) and couldn't hack it either...

what about
insert into test values (0,'\'; DELETE FROM test; ',1);
the character ' is used to denote the beginning and the end of a field value. If you have this character within the value, you will have to escape it. It's as simple as that.

nope. this just adds a row to the table with

I thought that's what you wanna do. It certainly is what you issue in sql.
INSERT INTO table VALUES (...);
So you wanna do first
insert into test values (0,'');
and then
DELETE FROM test WHERE id = 1;
or what? Leaves me puzzled as to what you want.

You probably have something not unlike one of these:
AddType application/x-httpd-php htm
in your httpd.conf file
That runs all .htm files through PHP. If you don't want that, get rid of the htm bit

Well, SSI has like, 5 things it can do, and PHP has about 50,000.
I guess you have to decide which is better for yourself.

exec('/full/path/to/my.cgi', $results, $errorcode); while (list(,$line) = each($results)){ echo $line, "<BR>\n"; } if ($errorcode){ echo "OS Error: $errorcode. Usually path/permissions. Use 'man errno' to check<BR>\n"; }
> Is it best for me to leave it in shtml as I have also discovered that SSI > will not parse inside an html section in php.
When Apache gets a request, it looks at the extension to figure out to whom to hand it off. It can't hand it off to both PHP and SSI at once. Allegedly Apache 2.0 would allow "stacked handlers" where PHP would process the file, then SSI could process the output from that, then Apache gets the answer back...
> Which of these shtml, or php > uses more resources on the server ?
PHP probably uses more resources for its 50,000 functions than SSI for its 5.
Your biggest expense though is firing up my.cgi with exec() in either case, and I'm willing to bet that you could eventually re-code whatever is inside of my.cgi using just PHP with no exec() and then you'd be using less resources.
> Which is the best solution to my > problem ??
PHP does everything SSI does, and 49,995 things more. :-)

There's using Apache with PHP as a Module, and there's using Apache with PHP as a CGI.
If your httpd.conf file has something like: AddModule php LoadModule php Handler application/x-httpd-php php (and not with comment character # in front of them) you are using Module
Conversely, if you httpd.conf file has stuff like: Action application/x-httpd-php php Alias php /path/to/php in it, you are using CGI.
Actually, I'm betting <?php phpinfo();?> will tell you if you are using PHP as Module or CGI.
If it's CGI, virtual will not work, as Rasmus said.
-- WARNING richard
attached mail follows:
I know the virtual command works on my hosting company, and yes it appears that my php is run as a cgi. Can I get php as a module on my windows based development machine so that I can fully test scripts ??
I also found that when using the virtual command on my host that the perl script didnt work properly, where as under SSI it does. Still no wiser at the moment

Depending on how you got it in there, I suspect the value from the db could be:

You may need to test if the value is == '' to catch the NULL case.

Using PHP to fire up Perl is not real efficient.
Also, there are innumerable PHP SMTP scripts out there you could just steal instead of writing your own...

I think there's some command you can send to SMTP just like MAIL FROM: and RCPT TO: that tells it to queue stuff instead of doing it now. I have no idea what it is that you have to send though... If you find out, tell me. I need it to. :-)

My gut says you need setlocale(LC_ALL, 'fr') or similar in the French one...
And maybe even 'en' for the English one.
Even if the docs say you don't.

After much fiddling, I found that, for some reason, I always need to use the "long" version of the language codes. "LANG=fr" didn't work, but "LANG=fr_FR" did.
I then need to pass '' or 'fr_FR' to setlocale(), and all is working.
Thanks for the guess, though. :)

Re-structure the logic to have one, and only one, exit point to the function at the bottom.

Try the WebMonkey and the DevShed ones, I think... Or just try the first three pages of each tutorial you can find, and follow all the way through the first one that makes sense to you.
To a large extent, it depends on what you want to *DO* with PHP.
MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, MS-SQL, or all of the above? Do you need GD? How about high-precision mathematics with BC_MATH? Super-fast but low-featured "database" action? LDAP is your buddy. Need to retrieve Email and News in a web page? Find a PHP/IMAP HowTo.
There can't be an ultimate PHP tutorial from start to finish because, like, unless you actually need LDAP or YP or HyperWave or any of the other rather esoteric extensions there's not much point in forcing them into a tutorial.
You'd be looking at an encyclopedia before you were done with every extension. Hell, by the time somebody wrote the damn thing, somebody else will have come up with another extension.

What you describe is called a "profiler".
AFAIK, there aren't any for PHP at this time.
The odds on somebody writing one within the next six months now that there are a half-dozen IDEs: A virtual certainty.
Meanwhile, some rules of thumb:
Your biggest time-sink is your xxx_connect() to the database. Use xxx_pconnect(). P is for 'P'ersistent. The Persistence is on the *database* side, *NOT* in PHP. Usual Stumbling Block: Your database has to be configured to have more possible connections than the number of httpd processes. Stress-test on a development box to be sure you configured everything properly, or be prepared to weep.
If you can do it in SQL instead of PHP, do it in SQL. SQL has been optimized to hell and back for decades. PHP is fast, but it's designed to be easy as well, not to rip through a million records in minimal time.
If it's something you'd expect somebody else to have needed a whole lot, PHP probably has a built-in custom function for it that will beat the pants off anything you can write in PHP.

fgets reads a line (i.e. up to a newline) with at most the specified numbers of characters. So you read the entire file, line by line. Use $Text = fread ($txtfile, 250); instead.

While the solution given will work, consider the following perfectly valid phone numbers:
312-555-1234x1001 1-800-MY-STUFF
Also, once you strip out all the spaces and dashes, nobody but a computer can use it...

True, but there are situations where it's handy to convert things like this purely into numbers.. I use PHP to retrieve telephone numbers from a DB and display them in a wml file... so that when a user finds an entry in the db that they like, they've an option to hit the 'call' link, the phone automatically disconnects the user from the net and dials up the business' number.
Unfortunately, there are a number of pitfalls with this... some of the telephone numbers in the db were entered with the area code, some weren't.. so some replacements there were required..
then there's the fact that you can only call the businesses when in the UK - I didn't get around to converting the numbers into anything other than valid numbers for calls within the UK.
Another downside is the fact that mobiles work differently from one another - so the "hangup from the net and dial the telephone number" button only seemed to work on Nokia phones.
Luckily, we don't use the letters in telephone numbers in the UK - which was one less headache. Though all of the other problems with what I was working on has meant that it never got past alpha testing ;)

good point richard. i never really considered the 1-800-MY-STUFF case. most of my customers seem to want numbers only..
anyway, assuming numbers only and no extensions (you can change this to add extensions pretty easily)...
in a form where i want a phone number, i have 3 separate fields of length 3,3,4 respectively. when the form is submitted, i check to make sure there are only numbers. (actually, on some sites i use javascript to check this as well)
i have two functions--phone_from_3() and phone_to_3(). i use phone_from_3() to set $phone = $phone1 . $phone2 . $phone3. i then put $phone in the db. when i want to display the phone number somewhere, i use phone_to_3() to turn $phone into $phone1, $phone2, $phone3. i can then format the phone number making it easy to read.
hope this helps, mike

So, like, do they download it later, or is your PHP program supposed to return the compressed archive?...
Let's assume the latter, cuz that's more fun :-)
Use a URL like this: http://yourserver.com/whatever.php/whatever.tgz
Your PHP file is whatever.php That bogus-looking whatever.tgz on the end is because [BLEEP]ing IE 3.mumble ignores MIME-Type and goes by the URL ending to decide what kind of file you are returning. MS sucks. Or is it Netscape that does that? Netscape sucks too.

They will belong to whomever you connected to the FTP server as, assuming that user can even create files in the first place...
mkdir() and fopen() in your local server will belong to whomever PHP (Apache) runs as, which is usually "nobody", but could have been configred in httpd.conf to be "www" or any valid user, including "root" if you were incredibly stupid, or, if you run PHP as a CGI and wrap it in suExec, it would be whatever user suExec is configured to run PHP as, which might be your real login, or might not.

*ACTUALLY*, it's rather annoying to have a web-site tell you one field at a time what you have filled in wrong as you click Submit over and over and over... *ESPECIALLY* if they don't pre-inform you of what is/isn't valid input!
Sidebar: If you're going to restrict what input is acceptable, inform the user in fine print what's allowed! This includes claiming Zip+4 is invalid, you goofs.

I have to run through 20 different possiblities for some sites I use semi-regularly when I log in. Other sites I never use simply because I know I can't remember my username for that site.
Here's a slightly better design:
<?php $message = ''; if (isset($submit)){ # The NAME= from your TYPE=SUBMIT button if (!$Age){ $message .= "You must enter a valid age in years<BR>\n"; } if (!$Email){ $message .= "You must enter a valid email<BR>\n"; } } if (!$message){ # Process valid input } else{ ?> <FORM ... > <?php echo "<FONT COLOR=FF0000>$message</FONT>";?> Age: <INPUT NAME=Age ...> . . . </FORM>

If you didn't mind the fact that it will probably be dog-slow and very RAM-intensive. There are a bazillion email-checking Regexes posted to the 'Net. Many of them will reject perfectly valid emails :-( You need one that will maybe let a bad email slip by, but will *NOT* reject any valid addresses. Good luck finding one. No, I don't know where one is. You could also use some PHP functions (SNMP?) to look up the MX record for the domain name of the email, and ask that MX server if it accepts that email as valid... Only some MX servers will just say "Yeah, sure" for invalid emails, and some will refuse to answer at all, and some will just plain out-and-out lie and say an email is invalid when it's fine. So, bottom line, if you *really* care about having a valid email, you have to send a secret randomly-generated unique registration code required to complete the registration to the address to force the user to provide a working email. Of course, there's nothing to stop them from creating a Yahoo (et al) email and checking it only once to get the registration code, and never, ever, ever using that email address again for anything. So, in the end, there's really not a whole lot of point to doing all that, is there?... It boils down to: "How important is it to you that they give you an email that might only be valid for a few hours? Maybe you shouldn't require it at all." YMMV.

additionally I also tend to always provide an alternative, especially if dealing with nested ifs or loops, even if just a comment... call it habit (from where I don't know).
if($condition){ do this }else{ # oops, $condition didn't exist }
saves a hell of alot of time when going back through the code 6 months later trying to remember what was being done where. personal opinion mind you

Password-protected for only TRUSTED people to get to it should be "okay" risk.
If a hacker cracks that password, though, the penalties are a little higher than average.

That should be Location with a capital 'L'. It matters.
If you are using Cookies for sessions, then this page is sending both Cookie headers and Location headers in the same exchange, since you've got session_start() (and/or session_register()).
You can't do that.
Some browsers do the headers in reverse order, some do them in forward order, and thus there will always be some browsers that won't ever see the Cookies, since they did the Location first, so they never get the Cookie with the PHPSESSID in it, cuz they jumped off to index.php like you told them to in that Location header.
Move the session_register("var1") and session_register("var2") to index.php, so that at least those will get done at some point.
Whether the session_start() sets the first Cookie here and/or in index.php is not so important... Walk through it step-by-step and you'll see what I mean.
Ooooooh. If this file *IS* index.php, you've got BIG logic problems...
You are checking if $var1 is set, registering it, and then going back to index.php.
Well, you may be registering it, but are you SETTING it to a value?...
Now maybe session_register() will give it some value, just to register it... Or, maybe not. I sure wouldn't expect it to be SET just cuz I registered it. If you want to be *sure*, you'll need to set $var1 = 'something'; after the session_register("var1") and before the Location header...
But you still have the whole Cookie/Location dichotomy problem.
Basically, you *CANNOT* require a variable to be set on your homepage unless you expect every single person who ever links to your site to use:
http://www.fromtheduke.com/session/index.php?var1=foo
You might be able to get away with it if you do:
header("Location: index.php?var1=foo&var2=bar");
That way, after they visit your page, you'll redirect with some GET vars to force them to have values... Not sure how useful that is in the Real World though... You may want to try to start doing a more realistic example of what you want to use Sessions for, because I think you've abstracted it to the point that you're trying to do something you'll never really need to do...

I have probably 400+ scripts under my belt. I would say a good 150 of those pages use header("location: ..") without it being capitalized. They work perfectly fine. What is the difference?

I can't start the session for the first time and register a variable? Isn't that what most people do?
> Ooooooh. If this file *IS* index.php, you've got BIG logic problems...
I see what you mean concerning the issset($var1) this code I have here is almost identically copied from an install script that was created by the Mambo OpenSource project. And like I said, on my Mac, it would redirect about 5 times before the browser decided it was in a loop and stopped.
...
Okay, I have re-written my code for index.php to say this: (see below for analysis)
------------ <?
session_start();
session_register("var1"); session_register("var2");
$var1 = "My var 1"; $var2 = "My var 2";
?><HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>Session Page 1</TITLE> </HEAD>
<BODY BGCOLOR=#FFFFFF>
PHPSESSID: <? echo $PHPSESSID; ?><BR> Var1: <? echo $var1; ?><BR> Var2: <? echo $var2; ?><BR>
<FORM ACTION="index2.php" METHOD="POST"> VAR 3: <INPUT TYPE=TEXT VALUE="My Var 3" NAME="myvar3"> <INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT VALUE="go"><BR> </FORM>
</BODY> </HTML> ------------
IE 5 for the Mac: When I hit ths page first (real page at: http://www.fromthduke.com/session/) the echo of $PHPSESSID does not show up; it's not echoed to the screen.
The echo of var 1 and var 2 work fine. Then the form, of course is there.
So, if $PHPSESSID isn't there, that leads me to believe that the cookie was not set. So, I go check (making sure that before this test the cookie was not present before.) Low and behold, the cookie is there in my cookies list and it's got a value.
Then I click submit...
The PHPSESSID is echoed as the same value that is in the cookie: d5184618d558ffe038a28e9e1adbdf26 Myvar 1 and 2 are blank Myvar 3 is there. (posted from previous form)
I look on the server, there is an additional session file on the server: sess_e78835fbbf62c0ddc77d46b6ff95e0cc It contains the Myvar 3 information.
Okay, perhaps it's a Mac thing, so I went to IE 5 for the PC:
Same results.
Well, perhaps it's a IE thing... Let's try netscape on both platforms:
Same Results.
So, it's not a browser thing, it must be a server thing. Perhaps the way I have Sessions setup in the .ini file? I think I have all the defaults, but here is the section echoed:
---------- [Session] session.save_handler = files session.save_path = /tmp session.use_cookies = 1 session.name = PHPSESSID session.auto_start = 0 session.cookie_lifetime = 3600 session.cookie_path = / session.cookie_domain = session.serialize_handler = php session.gc_probability = 1 session.gc_maxlifetime = 1440 session.referer_check = 0 session.entropy_length = 0 session.entropy_file = ; session.entropy_length = 16 ; session.entropy_file = /dev/urandom session.cache_limiter = nocache session.cache_expire = 180 ----------
Perhaps it's the 'nocache' directive?
Now I have given you all I can without giving you root access to my server. Here is the location of my test (as above):

How do I get the raw data from a http request?
i.e. in a post request, the content that will be submitted is followed after the request header and the request header contains the CONTENT-LENGTH specifying the length of the data. I know PHP will parse the submitted content so that each "key=value" pair will become variable name $key holding value. Now my question is, is there a way in PHP that I can just get those "non-parse" content from the request only? I have found the documentation it seems that there is no obivous to do so, get the env. variable "QUERY_STRING" seems match my needs but it only work for GET/string appended in the URL only.
I need to do so since I need to handle the such post request that don't use "key=value" pair.

Also, don't get confused on the use of auto increment fields. They are not meant to be counters. If you need a counter, define one separately. auto increment fields have a very specific meaning to table design and should be used only in this context.

I don't think there could possibly be a general solution to this problem. What I do in these cases is take the input, format it so that the recipient will be happy with it and then send it along.
This process can be abstracted a lot, so you don't have to reinvent the wheel for every form.

My problem problem is that I have 2-dimensional arrays, so I don't see how I can concatenate them using:
$msg = implode($array1, "\n") . implode($array2, "\n");
I can implode using:
$count = count($item); $x=0; while ($x<$count){ $pieces = implode(" - ", $item[$x]); $x++; }
But then I've still got to step through $pieces.
Any ideas?

Ah, you didn't say you had 2-D arrays initially.
Something along the lines of:

I changed session.save_path to c:\php but it does not make any difference. I tried change it in different ways.
I suppose, the problem is more sophisticated. Now, I can connect and work with those scripts BUT nobody else (sic!) can work. All (except me) receive the message "Failed to write session data..". We all work in the same intranet. We all have the same user rights to change contents of c:\temp on the server.
More. SOME scripts at the same server CAN work. They deal with sessions in the same way like others. But, some others scripts do not want to work, they cannot write session data (the same error msg).
Sometimes I could not work, sometimes I could. Yesterday I could not. Today I can. Others not. Even admin receives error "Failed to write session data...". Is it not strange?

stop a file called foo.bar from being downloaded with a web server ?
Say you'r web site's name is foobar.net.
..and...
Script-kiddy Johny knows that, but also knows that you'r secret file is called foo.bar and it is saved in the root dir. of you'r web site.
in a http browser little Johny can simply type in http://www.foobar.net/foo.bar" to download it, since the web server (i am on) will trigger the clients download box to open, because its not a wrapped extension, or php, or htm, or so .
I have looked into the .htaccess file and added the directive IndexIgnore *.* there'r millions of directives and i am looking at them now,
But please tell me if there IS NOT a directive I can add to the htacces file to keep "little Johny" from downloading the file. Because then i might just look the whole day long for nothing !

Does it need to be in the website's root directory? If you stick it off to the side, no one will be able to access it via http. If you need this file for php stuff, use an include to stick it in there.
I know that's not what you asked, but it's worth a try.

Hi,
I can't seem to get the bind() socket function to work. Every time i try to bind a socket i get 'Invalid argument'.
I know that the manual says that this module is EXPERIMENTAL and that ANYTHING can change WITHOUT NOTICE. But hopefully somebody will know what i have to do to get it to work :-)
I have attached the code that i'm currently using so that you can see what is going on.

Hello again.
Just been lookng at the php bug list and there is indeed a problem with bind() under freeBSD. It does however state that you can not specify what port you want it to listen on and than it will then bind to the next port available, so what i need to know is how do i find out what port it is bound to?
Thanks, William.

Hi,
Here's the code that I use... Works in both IE and NS:
============[ code ]============ <HTML> ...<header and stuff>... <BODY onload=" if (IE) { wait.style.display = 'none'; } else { document.layers['wait'].visibility='hidden'; }"> <DIV style="position: absolute; left: 0; top: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; cursor: wait;" id="wait"> <TABLE border="0" width="100%" height="100%"> <TR> <TD width="100%" valign="middle" align="center"> One moment please... <BR> <BR> <BR> Loading directory listing </TD> </TR> </TABLE> </DIV> ...<the rest of the page (reason of wait screen) >... </BODY> </HTML>
==========[ end code ]==========
NOTE: You should change 'if (IE)' to something usefull. If you just copy/paste this code, you'll get a javascript-error because IE isn't defined (it is on my site, :-)).
Hope you can use this!

Eduardo,
Are you trying to do this in PHP or interactively? If with PHP I won't be much help, as the I've not used its FTP functions. Otherwise it's a straightforward FTP operation.
There may be a problem doing it from within PHP as the webserver is probably running as "nobody", who usually, and properly, has zilch for permissions.
Not much help - Miles

Hi.
I'm using the timestamp format (AAMMDDHHMMSS) on my session.
how can I know the minutes between two dates.
I'm doing:
$date = $row_secao['date']; $date_now=date("ymdHis"); $x=$date_atual-$date; if ($x > 1000) { echo "Session expired."; }
but I have a problem when turns the hour, like this:
date=010803105958 date_now=010803110518
the sub is 4500 (45 minutes!), but in fact, the real time between is 6 minutes...
thanks.

---- Hello all!Problem is this: PHP compiles just fine with "--with-pfpro=shared,/home/verisign/payflowpro/linux" ... but I keep getting "Fatal error: Call to undefined function: pfpro_init()" when trying to initialize or "pfpro_version()" when I try to call it's version function.
I know something's working during the compile since it adds the "bin" to the end of my include statement ... "-I/home/verisign/payflowpro/linux/bin", and I see the make process go in and make a couple of things in the "ext/pfpro" directory.
Output from configure: "checking whether to include Verisign Payflow Pro support... yes, shared" .
Inside the 'linux' directory of payflowpro, the header and the lib file is there as well as it being in their respective lib and bin directory.
I also copied the header file in /usr/local/include and the library in /usr/local/lib, with adding /usr/local/lib in /etc/ld.so.conf and reran ldconfig.
What I am doing wrong here? I can execute a shell script and authorize just fine, so I *think* the ENV variables are ok.
Is this right? "--with-pfpro=shared,/home/verisign/payflowpro/linux" ??
Thanks and I appreciate any help out there!

hi,
i've got a calendar and i produce a month sort of outlook / filofax view that shows the user's appointments for that month.
the way i was building it was but defining ADAY in the following manner:
define("ADAY", (60*60*24) );
once i'd done evrything i needed to do i incremented the timestamp for the day by ADAY.
all seemed ok but then one of the users pointed out that October 28th appeared twice and then month had 32 days in for this year.
after a bit of head scratching we realised that the clocks go forward (any foreign readers please excuse the rediculous way the british time system works) and technicallay i guess october 24th has 25 hours. thus the time was incremented to a stamp within the same day.
redfining the stamp as
$start3=mktime(0,0,0,$dayArray[mon],$dayArray[mday]+1,$dayArray[year]);
does work however ?
is it php or the server that's at fault ?

I'm in the exact same position. It's definitely not a PHP problem.
The problem with the way you're redefining your timestamp is that you may get January 32, June 31st, etc.
I'm tempted to simply check for spring-forward and fallback before I advance the timestep, but that's one extra if statement as much as 31 times in one month. 1000 people generating the calendar would create 31000 extra if statements, unless I get a Cache solution. There should definitely be a PHP function for getNextDay(), but until then, I'm going to use the extra if statement.

Just to throw one more unwelcome cat amongst the pigeons..
Different countries/time zones have summer time, I think almost all countries do, but the actual days when they switch vary from country (yes I know, bloody nusiance isn't it?)
I know as an example of this theres about three weeks of the year where new york is 6 hours behing UK, and the rest its only 5.

Hi:
I'm coding my first programs in PHP using MySQL in Windows. I instaled the Xitami Web Server for Windows.
I have a simple table "catalog" that includes 3 fields and one php script that insert records into the table "catalog" using a the label <FORM> and it works ok.
I have another php script that print a the records in a table of HTML and it doesn't work correctly. The fisrt time I run this code works Ok, but then I go to add a new record using the fisrt code and then return to scrip that print the table and it doesn´t consider the last records I added. I make the consult in mysql.exe and effectively there are the new records. I have to suthdown the server and start again and the second script work correclty.
I have been locking how to solve this problem by myself but a couldn´t. I think that it's a basic problem but I'm beginning in this programs.
If somebody can help me i would be thankful.
Thanks. George Tamez

check the cache settings in IE and change to check for new version always.
sounds like you're reading a cached version of your page.

Hi, I had been using an INNER JOIN statement for a MySQL query, which worked fine. However, my new ISP does not have the latest version of MySQL. The version they have does not support conditions for Inner Join statements, so I have tried switching to a Left Join instead. However, the Left Join query takes 12.15 sec (which is obviously far too slow). The Inner join statement, meanwhile, completed the query in 0.04. Any idea why??
Here are the two statements (fast):
SELECT i.id, i.title, i.description FROM dir_items i INNER JOIN dir_assoc a ON a.itemid=i.id WHERE a.parentid=59 AND a.ex=0
Here are the two statements (slow):
SELECT i.id, i.title, i.description FROM dir_items i LEFT JOIN dir_assoc a ON a.itemid=i.id WHERE a.parentid=59 AND a.ex=0
