All,

I've been coding a PHP page that listens for a connection from an embedded
device (a piece of hardware) that sends a POST query to Apache (and to my
PHP pages...).

I've having a problem that I can't seem to solve. The embedded
application does not set a Content-Type header on the POST, so PHP fails
with the following error:

-- HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Sun, 26 Aug 2001 05:26:14 GMT Server: Apache/1.3.12 (Unix) (Red Hat/Linux) PHP/4.0.2 Connection: close Content-Type: text/html

Fatal error: No content-type in POST request in Unknown on line 0 Connection closed by foreign host. --

The connection that the embedded system makes looks like this:

-- POST http://host.mysite.foo/dir/phppage HTTP/1.0 User-Agent: ImEmbedded Host: host.mysite.foo Content-Length: 123 Pragma: no-cache Cookie: embeddedsession=myverylongsessionvariablegeneratedbythehardware

<?xml version="1.0"?> -- And below is some XML stuff...

I've tried setting 'Content-Type' in $HTTP_POST_VARS, using mod_rewrite in Apache to change the content-type (with the -T flag) and looked at all the options in php.ini. I'm using PHP 4.0.2 w/Apache 1.3.12 (if you couldn't tell from the sig above...)

Nothing works correctly. The mod_rewrite trick would work, but it makes everthing to that URL text/xml, including the PHP script, which no longer executes. I look on the mailing lists here and on usenet, but I don't see a good solution...

Anyone have any ideas? At this point, I'm thinking of re-writing my code in Perl or Python since there seems to be no solution to this problem.

Note that it's PHP that rejects the request, not Apache. I don't see why a missing content-type should do this. It should just default to text/plain or something.

Anyway, thanks for any help.

Chris.

Well, first of all, you are using an ancient version of PHP. That message was changed from a fatal error to a warning over a year ago.

And if you really want to have PHP accept non-typed POST data, it's an obvious one-line change in main/SAPI.c

Well, I grep'd the source, but did not find the origin of the error. Also, since I'm not familiar with PHP source, it would have taken me hours to find even that one line....

Thx.

All, I read the article by John Coggeshall on building search engine friendly pages. Now, I trying to pass my script parameters as path (instead of "?param=value&param2=value2").

However, for some reason I keep on getting the following error:

Fatal error: Unable to open /home/mydomain/public_html/try.phtml/param1/123 in - on line 0 No input file specified.

This is what I run: http://www.mydomain.com/try.phtml/param1/123

It seems like PHP is trying to read the file 123 at the given path. For some reason, PHP doesn't realize the try.phtml is the script.

I am trying this with PHP3. However, my production server is running PHP4 and it works there. Is this a new feature in PHP4 or do I need to build PHP3 with some configuration for this to work?

Thank you in advance.

yes, I am running as CGI. How should that matter?

Actually, I need to run as CGI because I have customized extensiont to PHP that my hosting company will not imbed in their PHP-Apache module. I am totally fine with that. Bottom line is that I need to run PHP as CGI.

Is there a way for this work in that mode?

Why don't you just dl() your extension into the module version?

I dunno. Has been so long since I have used the CGI version for direct web stuff. Play with it and figure it out.

nope

if $p is already a unix timestamp (as per your output) I don't know why you are processing it again with mktime. $m=date("H:i:s"); ---->10:34:33 $p=echo time($m); ------>998805674 date("h:i:s",$p);

I have PHP 4.06 and using it as an Apache module, but for some reason I cannot get my changes to take effect after I change something in the PHP.ini file. I've tried to restart Apache, restart Windows98, nothing. But if I run as a CGI, the changes are there in the phpinfo()!

Hello Thnx for your last replies, looks like i need more help with php now.

I have this code:

if ($result){ echo "<table border=1>"; echo "<tr><td>Category</td></tr>";

$numOfRows = mysql_num_rows ($result);

for ($i = 0; $i < $numOfRows; $i++){ $ID = mysql_result ($result, $i, "ID"); $Category = mysql_result ($result, $i, "Category"); echo "<tr><td><a href=\"knowledgebase.php?display=threads&thread=$ID\">$Category</a></td></tr >"; } echo "</table>"; } else{ echo mysql_errno().": ".mysql_error()."

I think you're right here also, but only to a degree. PHP has reached (or is quite close) to the critical mess it needs to penetrate the suite of 'accepted solutions'. As in, solutions which are covered by analysts and that exist within large organizations. It's true that it took it some 5 years or so to make this penetration (and it took .NET about -2 years), but that is the price you pay when you don't have gigantic marketing budgets to compete with. Undoubtfully this is a problem, but the bottom line appears to be that we managed to overcome this, despite the lack of resources.

I don't think it's fair to say that there's no marketing today. Well, forget fair, but I don't think it's accurate either :) There are several good PHP sites, and there are a few companies advocating PHP as well. Analysts are starting to cover PHP, and it's a fairly important landmark in PHP's penetration to the family of industry-adopted solutions.

At any rate, suggestions will be welcome. I've seen the Web Developer Ring you suggested, and I think it's worth thinking (the reason I'm not going wild with enthusiasm is that I think it also has drawbacks, not only advantages).

>oh, man Linux was a different story. Expecting a similar future for PHP >I'm afraid it may be wishful thinking. PHP is mostly focused on Web >development. Web market is fading out.

I agree with the first part of the paragraph, but completely disagree with the 2nd. Web is not fading out, the .COM era is. Web, as a medium, is here to stay, and on the long run, it's going to grow to be much larger than what it is today.

As for the similarities and dissimilarities of PHP and Linux, I think it's fair to say that it's pretty difficult to predict the way things will go with PHP in the enterprise, but I doubt it'll happen in a similar way to that of Linux. Linux 'made it' when huge corporations like IBM started using it and advocating it, after smaller companies (like RedHat) managed to create enough hype to 'wake the giants'. It's unlikely that such a giant will make the same choice with PHP, even if we just look at it from a statistical perspective.

>Even if you can do non Web programming with PHP, most people are not >aware of that. You need to do some marketing to put in evidence that PHP >is as much capable for non-Web programming.

Given the fact that I don't see the Web going anywhere, I strongly disagree. PHP's strength is in its focus to provide a good Web development framework. Losing that focus would be a bad idea. Projects like PHP-GTK are nice and for certain audiences they're also quite useful, but it's very wrong to assume that PHP's future lies in there. There are too many languages in the world, including ones which are much more capable than PHP in the GUI programming area, and if we move the focus to this front, we're going to fight a lost battle. In the Web front, on the other hand, we're doing quite well.

If you mean native executables, then I have to disagree with you yet again... I don't think native executables are the thing that's holding PHP back. It's a direct deduction from my view that PHP's main course is the Web environment, where native executables simply do not make sense. If you mean something else, I'll be happy to discuss this with you over personal email :)

This is the main reason I like PHP so much. It was build for the web and it grows with the web. If that focus is kept, PHP will survive. I do not see PHP surpassing Java or .NET, but it will be there and will outperform those two!

You are in wrong list. Try perl user list.

attached mail follows:

You're on the wrong list for this question but...

-T runs the Perl script in Taint mode. It checks for possible security holes. It marks any variable a user can control as unsecure.

-The shebang (#! /usr/bin/perl) is telling the script where it can find the perl interpreter.

The script headers terminated before the double-newline. Probably because you sent content to the browser before sending a content type. Or some type of error occured, which there will be information about in the error log. This sounds more like a Perl or other CGI app issue, rather than a PHP issue, though, because PHP errors get sent to the browser.

Good day,

I'm trying to figure out how I can show the following on my search results page:

SEARCH RESULTS 1 - 10 of 14 total results for books

Currently, I have a limit of 10 results printing on a page using "offset". I figured out how to program the pages to know what page of the results its viewing (eg: you are on page 4 or 10 pages of results) so programming the above statement shouldn't be difficult because the two statements seem quite similar. Nevertheless, I can't figure it out - I have a feeling I'm making it harder than it really is. Any suggestions or leads would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you, Shawna

make a sql just with your where clause like this

Are you shure u sending the right http header?

your discription sound like the browser receives the wrong header information, respactively the wrong mime type. if you use the right mouse button and say show image, all browsers don't care about the mime type and try to evaluate the data content and find the appropiate helper application. make shure the header is something like 'octed-stream/JPG' or octed-stream/GIF (i'm not shure if this is the exact syntax for the mime types, refer to HTTP 1.0 spezification for detaisl)

This can not be done with php, it has to be made on the client side, with java/javascript/dhtml or something. The easy way should be to use a frameset, where one frame contains the image with the scroll.

i would try this:

$sql = "SELECT DISTINCT users.names FROM users, selection Where users.name = selection.name and selection.setting = 'on' "; because you joining two tables and you get as many results per users.name = selection.name as entries in bouth tables per user. The DISTINCTROW could solve the problem. However i don't know the number of records per user excists in the tables, let assume u have not relaid on relational database rules and users are not unique in one of the tables the following has to be done

$sql = "SELECT DISTINCT users.names FROM users, selection Where users.name = selection.name and selection.setting = 'on' GROUP BY users.name";

Now the line 76 in question is the last one of the code section below ... can someone tell me what's missing there? how could this "index view" be defined? ____________________________________________

# Get the content before showing the webpage if ($HTTP_GET_VARS['category'] == 'top_links') { $your_current_location = "Most Popular Links"; $category_links=Top_Hits($sp_max_top_links); } else if ($HTTP_GET_VARS['category'] == 'new_links') { $your_current_location = "Newly Added Links"; $category_links=Newly_Added($sp_max_new_links); } else { $categories = viewPage($HTTP_GET_VARS['category']); $your_current_location = display_category($HTTP_GET_VARS['category']); $category_links = display_category_links($HTTP_GET_VARS['category'], $HTTP_GET_VARS['view']); } _____________________________________________

Any helpful ideas? I only get this warning message in my Win2k machine which I have set up for testing webpages purposes, it does not show up on my ISP's server ... so I suspect that somehow the server's php tolerates something in the code which my php version here somehow puts up the warning ...
