there really is no reason to "return $worked" since the script will "die" on any problems.

chmod 777 /var/www/htdocs/$file for one pass of the script to see if it is a permissions issue.

file either needs to be 'chmod a+w' or owned by the user the script is running as.

You have to make the directory "world writable" in order for the server to be able to create a file in it:

chmod 777 [directory]

(if you have that privilege).

The user and group numbers are specific to your system.

-----Original Message----- From: Todd Cary [mailto:toddaristesoftware.com] Sent: Friday, August 10, 2001 3:15 PM To: php-generallists.php.net Subject: [PHP] Streaming a jpg

If I know the location and name of a jpeg file, can I stream it to a HTML page?

What I have is a DB that contains the path and name of jpeg files. These files are "outside of the www Home directory" for security reasons. I would like to access the files from my PHP script and stream them to the page.

Never having done any streaming (PHP files) with PHP, I am not sure if this can be done and if it can, how to do it.

Many thanks for any guidance........

Someone suggested readfile(), which I agree is even easier... Here's a -very- basic sample:

In your HTML file...

In image.php:

Hello I'm a newbie and having trouble with the EXEC function call from a PHP script. EXEC seems to work ok for executing shell commands like 'ls -al' etc.

but when I execute the following PHP web page code...

---------------------------------- $basedir = '/mnt/web/xxx/myplace'; $cdir = $basedir . '/cgibin';

$cmd = "cd $cdir;pwd;perl -w myscript.cgi"; echo "cmd: $cmd "; $result = exec($cmd,$arr,$status); echo "status: $status [$result] "; ----------------------------------

Note: myplace and myscript.cgi are made up names.

The cgi program has been chmod'ed to 755 so it can run from a webpage and the cgi program runs fine when not called from the PHP script.

I get a status code of 155. Can someone please explain what this error code means!

Thanks in advance Tony Frasketi

when using NOTEPAD

choose "All Files" enclose the name of the file to be saved with " eg: "junk.php" and then it does not append the .txt

IF YOU HAVE TO USE WINDOZE A BETTER ALTERNATIVE IS TO GET EDITPAD it does not use any registry entries, just put the executable where you want and make a shortcut to it, you can also do a file association so EDITPAD will open certain types of files for you in future.

GET THE EDITPAD LITE and solve these types of problems, and when you are ready.... switch to LINUX MANDRAKE 8.0 and use one of the free text editors that are included

Okay, I'll try to make this short.

I work for a hosting provider, and thustly we have a few hundred clients. We have been working to provide a web-based file management system for the users, but have come across a stumbling block. The problem is allowing the users read/write/delete/move/create access to their folders on the server. We want to be able to run a central php script, but be able to dynamically tell that script what user to run as, based on HTTP authentication (username & password provided).

I've seen plenty of documentation about running scripts that use the suid bit, but those scripts are required to be owned by the person who the script is to be run as.

Any help is greatly appreciated, Mike

you didn't mention what os you're running so I'm guessing linux. Setting the suid of a php script won't work because it's not a binary file. you need to set the suid of the php executable, which means you probably want to have a copy of it in each user's home directory.

Try messing with the query string, and emulate a GET request. For instance

$uri = "http://www.somewhere.com/secure.php?username=bob&password=linuxrocks"; $theFile = implode("\n",file($uri)); echo $theFile;

can be used to grab a page and output it. Alternatively, you can use readfile(); but I like file(); since it allows you to manipulate the page.

Hi,

First of all, I'm very new to PHP. I tried to call setcookie() function to set a cookie using the following code:

setcookie ("TestCookie", "Some Value", time()+3600); echo $TestCookie, " ";

It works perfectly for the root directory, but when i try to do the same thing in another directory called '/phptest/', it didn't work at all. I tried to switch on netscape's "Warn me before accepting cookie" and saw that the cookie was indeed sent to the client. However, I could not read back the cookie's value no matter how many times i refresh netscape. Can anyone tell me what's going on?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,

I'm trying to use the following in a piece of code, but I keep receiving parse errors:

$myVar = split(":", $myStrings)[0];

The following code works, however:

$myTempVar = split(":", $myStrings); $myVar = $myTempVar[0];

I'd much rather execute the statement in one line, rather than two, if possible. The PHP Manual states that split() returns an array. Why can I not reference the returned array immediately? It works in Perl... =)

Thanks for any help!

Because Perl is better than PHP! :D

What you could do is:

list($myVar) = split(":", $myStrings);

Not tested, but it should work. HTH! :D

If you want to do it Perl style, you could do this, forcing list context:

$myVar = (split(":", $myStrings))[0];

But I really doubt that will work, because PHP isn't Perl. ;)

attached mail follows:

the things i want it to do are: when i go to index.php?172.0.0.1:5500 that it would change the $ipname to 172.0.0.1 and $portNum to 5500 and if i go to index.php?172.0.0.1 then $ipname to 172.0.0.1 and $portNum to 5500

so if i would go to: index.php?255.255.255.255 $ipname to 255.255.255.255 and $portNum to 5500

ok.. i think i know 50% of the solution of this problem: if $portNum eq'' $portNum "5500"; else }

is that right or i that cgi or is that totally wrong?

right now this is my code: (index.php)

#Make sure the target appears valid

#Figure out which tasks to perform, and do them

If you are actually using PHP 3, as your extension would indicate, you fix it by upgrading to PHP version 4. The session functions are not available in PHP 3.

can any body point me out where did I go wrong...I'm sure my script is OK..it's run in version 4.03 but got error in 4.06

Thanks in Advance

So on a mailing list that developers run around on, no one can tell me how to properly use open_basedir?

-----Original Message----- From: Chris Cameron [mailto:chrisupnix.com] Sent: Thursday, August 09, 2001 4:27 PM To: php-generallists.php.net Subject: [PHP] open_basedir and safemode-ish things

I looked through the archives, and tried finding info in the PHP manual, but haven't had much luck.

I'm looking for a way to restrict virtual host users to their specific little directory by putting a <Directory> thing in my httpd.conf.

It looked like open_basedir should do the trick, but it didn't, and obviously something's not quite right. My php.ini has: safe_mode = off safe_mode_exec_dir =

for safe mode stuff, while in a virtual host spot in my httpd.conf I have

<Directory "/home/www/chris/www"> php_admin_value open_basedir /home/www/chris/www </Directory>

This doesn't work. If anyone could let me know the proper format this is suppose to take, I'd be most appreciative.

Thanks, Chris

Did you actually search the manual?

http://php.net/open_basedir gives you a list of hits. One of them is:

Put bluntly, it doesn't work.

The manual says: If instead of safe_mode, you set an open_basedir directory then all file operations will be limited to files under the specified directory.

I'm assuming that this should work without making any changes to my php.ini. The manuals example: <Directory /docroot> php_admin_value open_basedir /docroot </Directory>

I've got: <Directory /home/www/chris/www> php_admin_value open_basedir /home/www/chris/www </Directory>

Like I said originally, I must be doing something wrong.

"php_admin_value" isn't suppose to be set to something is it? I'm also surprised that (apperantly) nothing has to be changed in the .ini.

This is inbetween <VirutalHost> and </VirutalHost>, and I'm testing that it does/doesn't work by reading out my /etc/passwd. That directory does exist, and is the www root for the Virtual Host.

Thanks, Chris

Noone as far as I know has worked on that so far; anyone who is interested in this functionality is encouraged to provide patches which addresses the remaining issues.

Is there a wy to check if the installation of gettext is right?
