move it out of the document tree if you don't want it executed via http, and
use system or exec or something instead of virtual

Thanks for the idea, but ...

That would cause the script to be executed with permissions of the web
server, and for security, that is generally prohibited by the ISP (we
are the ISP). The only exception to that rule is public scripts which
reside in:

safe_mode_exec_dir = /host/runphp

and are thus allowed to execute with permissions of the web server.

To provide for the execution of private user CGIs, each user has their
own /cgi directory. Apache is configured to recognize /cgi in any URL
as an executable CGI, and wraps all user CGIs with SuEXEC, to run them
with permissions of the user, not the web server.

But of course that means user scripts are accessible via URL. So the
question remains, how to limit their access.

As the ISP, we could use any feature of the web server for our own
CGIs, but we intentionally avoid that. We have a hosting environment
with a rich set of customer accessible tools, and we demonstrate that
fact by using only those tools ourselves. IOW, we use what we sell.

I have some techniques for limiting access to user CGIs, but I still
wonder how others have approached this problem ...

if you're using apache, something along the lines of the following untested

We don't define any virtual hosts in httpd.conf; instead, we use a
custom handler hooked into post-read-request. So I won't be able to
define "/path/to/usr/cgi" in httpd.conf.

But if that concept will work in user .htaccess files, it would be an
improvement over my current techniques. I'll give it a try ...

Thanks for the idea!

Ah ok

It will work in .htaccess if you enable it, or you might even be able to use
something like:
<DirectoryMatch "^/path/to/.*/cgi">

(untested again)

After testing this I see that:

Apache uses the IP address of the remote host to determine whether to
allow or deny access.

Even though PHP is running on localhost, and making a request via the
virtual() function, Apache still knows the IP address of the remote
host, and uses that.

So what happens is that denying "localhost" makes it impossible to run
the CGI at all, unless you are running lynx from a local shell. Not
exactly what I had in mind.

Unless there is some way that Apache can be tricked into believing a
request originates from the IP address of localhost, it appears that
allow/deny directives will not solve the problem of preventing direct
access to user CGIs.

It sounded like a good idea, though!

I didn't think of that

I just did a test on my own server and used
readfile("http://..../cgi-bin/test") where test just prints
getenv("REMOTE_ADDR") and it prints the ip address of eth0, so you'd be able
to do it this way - but I don't think using readfile() is as nice as
virtual() in this case because readfile() performs another literal http
request back to the server causing the use of another httpd process I think,
whereas virtual() probably doesn't

Another way you might be able to do it is find an environment variable that
is only present when the cgi's are executed by the virtual() call, then use
the apache SetEnvIf directive combined with <DirectoryMatch>

Can it cause any problems if mySQL query is very long? I have to compare
many words to many fields in my DB and I've done it like
"....Field LIKE '%searchword%' || Field LIKE '%searchword%' || Field LIKE

exact length but it is VERY long. I also have to compare several words to
one field so I've done many of those "Field LIKE '%blah%'" for those too.
Is there any smarter way to do this?

Depending on what you need the comparison to do and how bit the range of
possible searchwords is, querying against either a "fulltext" index, an
"enum" field, or a "set" field might work out better for you. (See the
*MySQL* manual for more info.)

As for the where clause, AFAIK[*] the length of the query should be less of
a concern than the fact that MySQL is not being allowed to use an index
(because of the leading "%"). It has to do row-by-row comparisons, slowing
down execution.

[*] Double-check that with the folks on the MySQL.com support list, though.
It's a question better asked of them anyway...

Using the backslash escapes the double quote ... tells php to not use the double quote (as it does to end a string assignment), but to print it instead. And "foo" is just a seemingly universal place-holder for a string or something else that you can replace with just about anything.

Hi all

Say i had text similar to below

Cairns Fine Mareeba Fine Innisfail Fine

I'm using the following code to grab the weather forecast for each of those towns

$GrabURL = "forecast_map_data.txt"; $GrabStart = "PROVINCIAL CITY"; $GrabEnd = "UV ratings";

$file = fopen("$GrabURL", "r"); $rf = fread($file, 20000); $grab = eregi("$GrabStart(.*)$GrabEnd", $rf, $show);

eregi("Cairns(.*)Mareeba", $show[1], $cairns);

which works fine, but when i then try to grab the forecast for Mareeba using this

eregi("Mareeba(.*)Innisfail", $show[1], $mareeba);

nothing happens - i figure it's because i've already use Mareeba as a stop point. Can anyone recommend a function or a way to do this where i'll be able to use the same start or stop text more than once?

attached mail follows:

You could try fgets from the fp instead of fread. Then for each line depending on how well structured it is you have a variety of options, but i think this would be at least a good start: www.php.net/preg_split - split on multiple spaces - \s+

Were you using output compression with previous versions of PHP? Did it work with images in these versions? Also, are you seeing any errors in your Web server's error log?

I was using ob_gzhandler with PHP4.0.4, and everything was fine. I was using an older version of gd and zlib, though (I think 1.8.3 and 1.1.2, respectively -- but I'm not certain).

Think you're looking for things like:

window.open ('<page-to-open>', 'WindowName', '<attribs>'); (in order to open a (popup)window).

and then, when they've entered all information you submit the form (still in the same popup) to the PHP that stores it in the db. That page normally doesn't need to produce any output to the user. So what you put at the end of that page is:

<SCRIPT type="text/javascript"> window.opener.reload(true); /* reloads the main page */ window.close(); /* closes the popup */ </SCRIPT>

Hope this is what you were looking for...

I'm using a MySQL-database to store my session variables by using the following code:

session_set_save_handler

"sess_open", "sess_close", "sess_read", "sess_write", "sess_destroy", "sess_gc" );

session.gc_probability in the php.ini file is set to 1.

In a book I read that this means that the function sess_gc will then be call everytime I start a new session by using: session_start(); But the function sess_gc will never be called so my table including the session variables is growing up and never be cleaned. Only if I call the sess_gc function myself the old sessions will be deleted. Do I always have to do this myself or what's wrong with my code?

Hello,

I am creating an online text editor for a magazine site and I want to be able to apply some CSS formatting into it. The following is the script that adds the <br /> tags where necessary, then it strips the <br /> tags by replacing them with some <p> tags with CSS formatting. The problem I'm having is that it will not pick up on those <br /> tags (2 at a time). I think it has something to do with the newline (\n) and return (\r) escape characters not capturing the <br /> tags. Maybe I didn't set it up correctly. Below the code is the input (exactly as typed in the online text editor), the undesired output I'm getting when I run the article through the script, and the desired output that I want.

Please Note that I am trying to comply with the XHTML standards and will be converting these into XHTML, therefore all tags must be closed ( example: <p></p> ), and all empty tags must be closed in this way: <tag /> ( example: <br /> ). Also note that I am trying to stay away from other pattern matching and replacing functions. The reason is that str_replace() seems much faster than the rest. If it is possible, I would like to stick with str_replace(). But if this turns out to be too complex for str_replace to handle, then I will consider other options. I am on a Win2000 platform running PHP 4.0.6 (which may or may not be relevant). Thanks in advance this anyone who helps me out with this, I would really appreciate it.

There are numerous definitions for the word hero. I would like to define heroes as individuals who inspire us to emulate their level of perseverance and success. Simply put, heroes are people we look up to.

Life is full of celebrated heroes: sports figures, individuals from all walks of the entertainment industry, famous and infamous politicians, and distinguished individuals from the business and science arenas, just to name a few. But for every celebrated hero, there is at least one unsung hero. This "Spotlight" segment is dedicated to the unsung heroes of our time.

Recently, I have been corresponding via email with three very dedicated and talented students from the University of Toronto whom I consider real life heroes. Once you read about their accomplishments as well as their trials and tribulations in life and the positive example they intend to set for the Afghan youths everywhere, I am sure you will agree with my assessment.

Hello, I am trying to use the UPS Online Tools, the XML version. This requires you POSTing an XML document to their Tools server, which is SSL enabled. I am having a problem getting this to connect in PHP (4.0.6) on my server (Apache 1.3.20). In my scripts, I use $Socket = fsockopen (www.ups.com, 443, $errno, $errstr);

if (!$Socket) die ("Error bla bla bla");

fputs ($Socket, "GET /ups.app/xml/Rate HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n"); ... ... If you point your browser to https://www.ups.com/ups.app/xml/Rate you will see a response. But this code seems to just time-out. If I change the port 443 to port 80, I will get a response. What am I missing for it to talk to an SSL port??

The ability to 'speak ssl' instead of plain text

You should probably use the curl functions to do your post via SSL, or some other tools if using the curl funcs isn't suitable for you. Incidentally, you're doing a GET anyway when you say that the server requires a post.

var_dump before session_start won't work because session_start() uses internally header(). The idea is that there is no use of $allowed before session_start(). The name is session_start, so it has to be the first statement in the script or the first after include-s/require-s. As I said it is good practice to use $SESSION_VARS array, or $HTTP_GET_VARS $HTTP_POST_VARS for session/get/post variables

Hi everyone,

Im sorry to inform you that I have decided to cancel the meeting on the 8th of September, this is due to having very little response and it seems pointless to have a meeting that large for literally 8 to 10 people, if there are still people who want to meet on that day then perhaps we can size it down and meet in a pub for the afternoon and have a chat but the original plan of a full scale meeting with talks etc is now NOT going to happen. Please contact me if you still feel you want to come and meet in a pub for a chat etc and Ill see what interest there is in that.

If you have sent monies for tickets etc please contact me and they will be returned promptly.

Sorry for any inconvience caused.

Thanks,

- James

Hi, I'm creating system with user registration. I want to use sessions without cookies. My cookies are disabled.

this is my login.php:

global $curusr, $curpass, $registered;

if (lExistUser( $usr, $pwd ) == false ) // is user exist ? { echo $usr . $pwd; echo " - Error"; session_destroy(); $curusr=""; $curpass=""; $registered=false; exit;

} // all ok ! user Exist $curusr=$usr; $curpass=$pwd; $registered=true;

session_start(); session_register(curusr, curpass, registered );

$web="http://www.somedomain.com"; // my site header("Location: $web"); exit;

But when I get control in my index.php there are no the variables.

Any ideas why ?

Thanks,

If you want to use sessions without using cookies, you should send the session-ID to the next page using the URL (not a very nice solution though).

See: http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.session.php

The following example demonstrates how to register a variable, and how to link correctly to another page using SID.

Example 3. Counting the number of hits of a single user

<?php session_register ("count"); $count++; ?>

Hello visitor, you have seen this page <?php echo $count; ?> times.<p>

<php? # the <?=SID?> is necessary to preserve the # session id # in the case that the user has disabled # cookies ?>

To continue, <A HREF="nextpage.php?<?=SID?>">click here</A>

The <?=SID?> is not necessary, if --enable-trans-sid was used to compile PHP.

Rasmus, I really am concerned if you think that this problem is "solved". In my own experience, talking to ISPs and developers, this is a major roadblock to the development of PHP as a platform for both sophisticated solutions on shared servers, and major mission critical systems.

I felt that the contribution by Dan Harrington was an eloquent description of the kind of issues that arise. My own ISP is pushing people towards Perl and Java for precisely this reason, if they want more than the functionality in the core build of PHP.

Look at it from their point of view. Say, as a customer, you want to use library X. The ISP looks around and eventually find it lives on a personal site in Greece or Hungary. Not very confidence inspiring. The ftp on this site is broken, so they email the author and wait a couple of days before they can download. The documentation may be thin or non-existent. There is no guarantee that this library has been tested to work with the release of PHP they are running, or that it will be maintained in the future. To install it they have to rebuild their PHP setup. There is, so far as I am aware, no regression test they can run to be sure they have not broken their installation for the other 400 customers using the server. Then they have to take the server down to install the new build. Is it any wonder that they just say "no"?

Now compare this with Perl or Java, where they simply plug in the new functionality without any significant risk of breaking their server setup.

All this surely applies with even more force for a corporate IT department evaluating PHP for a mission critical project.

If you don't agree that this is a major issue that needs to be addressed, I fear for the future of PHP.

If I was Zend, with a major interest in promoting PHP as a professional enterprise solution, I would be supporting something like the following:

1) Propose a library documentation standard based, say, on CPAN and get it adopted by the community 2) Set up a site to act as a central repository for PHP libraries 3) Actively encourage library developers to provide plugin binaries, or do it for them if need be, at least for the most important libraries 4) Do a regression test for each library once installed, and certify that it does not break the core PHP application

An initiative of this kind would go some way to helping PHP to catch up with competitive platforms.

However, judging from this current thread, the development team don't see this as a priority, so I guess that it won't happen unless the user community makes a strong case for it.

What do people think?

I have to go with the (few) extensions/librarys provided by my ISP. If you don't run your own server, that's how it works with most ISPs, I think. Some ISP don't even run PHP4, they still use PHP3.

I'm in complete agreement.

Something which seems to not be a viable option for most things is SO files. For some reason, the only "real" way (documented) to get things into PHP is to compile them all into PHP. I've used the pdflib SO file and just used dl() to bring it in - works like a champ. Pity I can't do that for gd and other things. I don't NEED these things compiled in to PHP for every page request, yet the only method that's ever worked for me is by compiling them directly in. Most packages don't give PHP specific instructions, and even the couple that do don't appear to give instructions on how to make SO files.

Increased use of SO files would, I think, make everyone's lives a lot easier.

But the situation is exactly the same for Perl or Python or even Java for that matter. None of these environments ship all the 3rd party libaries that they connect to. And asking us to maintain 200+ libraries is unrealistic.

How so? If you want Perl DBD-DBI for Oracle, you need to first go find the Oracle client libs. The same is true for most other Perl addons. Chances are the ISPs are just slightly more familiar with the bits they need to go find for Perl. The situation is actually quite a bit messier for Perl as there are currently over 100 time handling classes in CPAN, for example. PHP has a single standard one that ships with PHP.

> 1) Propose a library documentation standard based, say, on CPAN and get it > adopted by the community

Already done in PEAR

> 2) Set up a site to act as a central repository for PHP libraries

See PEAR. Unless you mean all the 3rd-party libraries like Oracle liboci8, libmysqlclient, libgd, openldap, ucd-snmp, etc.. That simply won't happen.

You mean PHP extensions?

Impossible to do on the 50+ platforms PHP runs on.

Surely there are things we can improve upon, but the current statement of the problem whichs assumes that Perl and Java are lightyears ahead of PHP when it comes to extending their functionality just isn't true. They face many of the same problems PHP does. When you have something that can interface with literally hundreds of 3rd-party libraries, the build system is going to be complex. And there are going to be versions of libraries that don't work with certain versions of other libraries. If Oracle decides to export a global symbol in liboci8 that clashes with a global symbol in some other 3rd-party library, then the PHP build breaks. There isn't much we can do about this. We do not control these 3rd-party libraries nor is there any way we possibly could control these. We can try to come up with a workaround, of course, but that is about the extent of it. The Perl, Python and Java camps have *exactly* the same issues.

Hrm.. Something like

./configure --with-gd=shared,/home/rasmus/gd-2.0.1 --with-jpeg-dir=/usr

Doesn't work? If not, please file a bug report. It certainly should.

I am not disagreeing that things could be improved, but I would like to see some realistic suggestions. We cannot maintain all 3rd-party libaries that PHP connects to. That should be obvious. We don't have the resources, nor are we legally able to in some cases.

Geoff (and the list) ...

You have presented an excellent, well-reasoned case, which I endorse 100 percent.

You also raised issues I have not had to consider, as my development has been for lightly loaded servers under my control, with only the PostgreSQL and MySQL libraries required. I'll also acknowledge that since they have been up and in production for several months, with no problems, I've felt no compulsion to upgrade them, applying the "if it's not broken, don't fix it." philosophy.

But I had a problem last summer that illustrates your case; involving the Solid database and the Perl libraries, though not with PHP as it never got that far. Solid had made radical changes to the API, and the existing Perl drivers would not work. The maintainer knew of the problem but had not had time to update them. He was supportive, but frustrated. Solid were singularly unresponsive. That left me with three choices: Learn Perl and fix the drivers myself, use an earlier version of Solid, or pick another database.

Despite the "You have the source" credo of Open Source, the first option was not feasible. Solid would not sell a previous version, so that ruled out the second. The site is now running off PostgreSQL.

Given that experience, I understand the ISP's position. Large, high-traffic commercial sites need a level of confidence and security. With growth comes responsibility, and we are heavily dependent on the libraries for everything other than core functionality. Your suggestions are sound and get my vote. I am keen to hear opinions from others.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Actually I forget if that's an actual package or not. :)

But that's *generally* as easy as it is for many Perl packages I need. (I've hit a few snags, but not as many as in PHP). The DBD::MySQL stuff went out and grabbed appropriate MySQL libraries and compiled them on my system. PHP ships with MySQL stuff now, but for other packages where I have to compile stuff (which *rarely* works as directed, because, no matter WHAT version of Linux I'm using, it's not a "real" distro) this step is always a huge pain.

It probably should, somehow. I don't think anyone is necessarily laying this at your door, Rasmus, but it's something that's vitally needed.

That's not allowing me to simply dl() an SO file, because I don't have the SO file to start with - that's what I was trying to get at. If I have to reconfigure everything, there's not much point, I don't think. Unless I'm missing something obvious. I'd like to be able to simply have an SO file I can dl() without recompiling. Or are you saying that that configure statement WILL create an SO file that can be dl()ed later, without recompiling PHP?

Exactly. When you do ./configure --with-foo=shared; make then modules/foo.so will appear magically and you can dl() that or load it using "extension=foo.so" in your php.ini. You don't have to recompile PHP.

This is very good news! I must have mis-rad the manual on this part!! Is there any way to make these extensions with out making it all? Such as a "make extensions ---extension=foo.so" , Is there any plan for this?

attached mail follows:

Yes. Then you have to do it a bit differently:

$file = file("list.txt"); // $file is now an array of lines in "list.txt"

for ($i = count($file); $i > count($file) - 10; $i--) { print "$file[$i]<br>"; };

That should do. Didn't try it thou. That prints the lines in order last, last-1, last-2....

You might be better off using the file() function which reads a file into an array, then you can use the indexes to get whatever lines you want

hi !

I have a simmple question :)..

Lets say that I have a file called: list.txt and I want to take the first 10 lines from it & echo it to the browser ?

thank you Tauntzhot.ee

>Hello, >From the manual: >http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.register-shutdown-function.php > >py

Thanks (but)...

I was referring to functions that are executed in a fully functional PHP environment including output using echo. The crippled shutdown thing does not serve for my purposes. set_error_handler () is functionally appropriate, but I do not know of an error event being raised on regular program termination.

attached mail follows:

I have dug through several forums trying to find a solution to this issue. I have configured PHP4.0.6 with Sun's JDK1.3.1 on RH7.1. I keep receiving a the following error message:

Fatal error: Unable to load Java Library /usr/java/jdk1.3.1/jre/lib/i386 /classic/libjvm.so, error: /usr/java/jdk1.3.1/jre/lib/i386/classic/libjvm.so: un defined symbol: jdk_sem_post in /tmp/php-4.0.6/ext/java/jver.php on line

My php.ini file looks like the following:

[Java] java.class.path=/usr/local/lib/php/php_java.jar:/usr/share/kaffe/worldpac_fu lfil lment.jar java.home=/usr/java/jdk1.3.1 java.library=/usr/java/jdk1.3.1/jre/lib/i386/classic/libjvm.so java.library.path=/usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20001222:/u sr/j ava/jdk1.3.1/jre/lib/i386:/usr/java/jdk1.3.1/jre/lib/i386/classic:/usr/java/ jdk1 .3.1/jre/lib/i386/hotspot:/usr/java/jdk1.3.1/jre/lib/i386/native_threads extension=libphp_java.so

And when I ldd -d libjvm.so I receive the following:

/usr/bin/ldd -d libjvm.so libm.so.6 => /lib/i686/libm.so.6 (0x4009a000) libnsl.so.1 => /lib/libnsl.so.1 (0x400be000) libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x400d5000) libc.so.6 => /lib/i686/libc.so.6 (0x400d9000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x2aaaa000) undefined symbol: jdk_sem_post (./libjvm.so) undefined symbol: jdk_sem_init (./libjvm.so) undefined symbol: jdk_pthread_sigmask (./libjvm.so) undefined symbol: jdk_sem_wait (./libjvm.so) undefined symbol: jdk_pthread_sigmask (./libjvm.so)

I pretty much understand that the issue is with the JDK but I cannot figure out how to fix it. I have tried the the ld.so.conf( and ran ldconfig, also did a reboot) which is as follows:

/usr/lib /usr/kerberos/lib /usr/X11R6/lib /usr/local/lib /usr/java/jdk1.3.1/jre/lib/i386 /usr/java/jdk1.3.1/jre/lib/i386/classic /usr/java/jdk1.3.1/jre/lib/i386/native_threads /usr/java/jdk1.3.1/jre/lib/i386/green_threads

This has gotten to be a major holdup. I have read through several posts and tried all they suggest to no avail. I am going nuts, I know this can work because others have done it. The only thing left that I haven't looked into is this error message from the php debug.log:

/usr/bin/ld: warning: libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2, needed by /usr/java/jdk1.3.1/jre /lib/i386/hotspot/libjvm.so, not found (try using -rpath or -rpath-link) /usr/java/jdk1.3.1/jre/lib/i386/hotspot/libjvm.so: undefined reference to `__che ck_eh_spec' /usr/java/jdk1.3.1/jre/lib/i386/hotspot/libjvm.so: undefined reference to `__thr ow' /usr/java/jdk1.3.1/jre/lib/i386/hotspot/libjvm.so: undefined reference to `termi nate(void)' /usr/java/jdk1.3.1/jre/lib/i386/hotspot/libjvm.so: undefined reference to `__cp_ pop_exception' /usr/java/jdk1.3.1/jre/lib/i386/hotspot/libjvm.so: undefined reference to `__cp_ eh_info' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I don't have libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2 on my system. So I will go back and try install it and see what happens. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Bill

PS Alex I apologize greatly for the direct email. But I am desperate, I saw your name on several php forums and you seem to be the guru on this issue. I switched from kaffe ( which I had running smoothly) because the project I am working on requires certain pre done Java API's that were calling Java classes that kaffe didn't seem to have.

attached mail follows:

Dan,

Check the php.ini file. You need to be sure the payflow library is being loaded. The following should be listed under extensions in your php.ini directory:

extension=pfpro.so extension=libpfpro.so

Also be sure that the path to the php/module file is listed as well.

Yes but you would have to dynamically build the javascript statement up using php with the query string you wanted and use

<Reply>

Well... yes, you can. You'll have to use a different kind of construction though:

<SCRIPT type="text/javascript"> window.parent.<name-of-mainframe>.location.href = "<URL-of-mainpage>?<params-as-you-know>"; </SCRIPT>

Depending on the construction as you use it in your PHP, you can do it in a better way. If you want to refresh the mainframe after eg submitting a form in a subframe you can just use the reload-thing as I sent earlier and then use sessions. Then you don't need to send params over the URL. But like I say... that totaly depends on the construction as you use it.

Well on submission of the email you could try contacting their mail server and pretend to a have a mail for them using SMTP.

If you get a "recipient ok" or similar message.. ,thre is a code for it, then at least the server accepts mail for that address. You might be better off croning this rather than have the user wait on a http request. Alternatively there is a perl mod that does this as well.

Secondly you could write a script that downloads the mail from root and deletes out the database anything that bounces. You could even delete these messages from the root account once done

For perl look at

http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-category/19_Mail_and_Usenet_News/Mail/Mail-Ch eckUser-1.02.readme

As for php you would need to open a socket connection.. My advice would be to use the perl module and call a perl script from php.

I called the page from my browser like this:

The page came up, but was blank. I gave the wwwroot dir read,exe,script privlages. The PHP CGI install prog was supposed to take care of all config stuff, and set up the php.ini file, however in the php.ini file there was no entry for "document root" so I put in inetpup/wwwroot but still the test.php3 page does not work.

any ideas?

is a code snippet from the PHP manual which allows you to display the file size rounded and then GB. MB, or KB :)

Use the absolute file path for the file you want looked at.

attached mail follows:

Read about SESSIONs in PHP4, they are flexible. If cookies are set off then the session_id is added transparantly to every URL on the parsed page(must be switched on in php.ini, and all hrefs have to be relative like '/cgi-bin/some_script.php' , not 'http://www.server.com/cgi-bin/some_script.php. In the second case PHP will not recognize that this URL points to the same server and will not add phpsessid=asjkdfg8912were899 in the URL.

So require them to have cookies turned on. If it's YOUR system, you can require whatever you want. If this is something for your company, presumably it's a business tool of some sort, and you can then require them to do whatever you need to go get the job done.

Make a login screen that can save cookies (so they don't have to type username again) and keep a Session Varible of their username/password so u know if they are Auth to enter certain areas...

This way if they don't have cookies they can login anyway... but if they do allow cookies then it saves them writing their password each day

Yeah, you can't do much with cookies turned off these days anyway. Another way to do it is to use $PHP_AUTH_USER, it's easier (but not as pretty) and you won't have to worry about cookies.

Hi Friends,

I am kind of new to PHP. I am planning to install PHP4 on Windows NT with IIS as web server and Oracle as database. Could you please help me to understand some of the following.

What web server is better on NT with PHP? What PHP installation mode performs better i.e. CGI, SAPI Module , build or not build etc ? What 'S' in SAPI? Any suggestions on PHP configuration for Oracle, IIS, and LDAP?

Also I am planning to use PHP scripts to run some jobs from scheduler. Is it a bad idea? If not what need to be considered while installing PHP.

Any information or pointers for my above questions is a very big help.

Thank you in advance. Sridhar Moparthy

> What web server is better on NT with PHP?

I'm sure everyone has their own opinion, but if you're using NT, then you're probably just as well using IIS until Apache 2.0 has a final release out.

> What PHP installation mode performs better i.e. CGI, SAPI > Module , build or > not build etc ?

SAPI modules are going to typically be faster, but you don't want to use ISAPI on IIS/NT due to stability issues. Setup PHP as a CGI with IIS.

> What 'S' in SAPI? > Any suggestions on PHP configuration for Oracle, IIS, and LDAP?

Server API I believe.

It's not a bad idea. You just have to have PHP installed, which you will with your setup anyway.

I first tried unixODBC in order to get ODBC functionality on my FreeBSD 4.2 box with PHP 4.0.3 on Apache 1.3.14. It didn't work too well, and I kept getting an error about undefined symbols like pthread_mutex_init or something when trying to run command-line sample applications. So someone suggested I use iODBC instead and I responded:

Okay, I uninstalled unixODBC and tried iODBC ( I actually began to try it before, but then thought of something that might work on unixODBC, so I went back to it ).

Now iODBC's odbctest application works with myODBC installed. However, after I recompile PHP with iodbc parameters, I try to run the odbc_connect function. If I misspell the DSN or use a non-existent one, I will get the following message:

Warning: SQL error: [iODBC][Driver Manager]Data source name not found and no default driver specified. Driver could not be loaded, SQL state IM002 in SQLConnect

Now, if I spell the defined DSN correctly and reload the page, the application just hangs. If I look at my error logs I see this:

/usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: /usr/local/lib/libmyodbc.so: Undefined symbol "pthread_mutex_init"

Once for every time I reload the page. This is odd, because this was a problem message I was receiving when testing unixODBC on the command line. After I installed iODBC, the command-line application was able to connect and query perfectly! So what gives? Why does one application work and another does not?

I set the following environment vars - some may not make sense, but I've been trying everything:

$EnvVars["LD_LIBRARY_PATH"] = "/usr/local/lib:/usr/include"; $EnvVars["LD_RUN_PATH"] = "/usr/local/lib:/usr/include"; $EnvVars["ODBCINI"] = "/usr/local/src/odbcsdk/doc/odbc.ini"; $EnvVars["PATH"] = "/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/hom e/suroot/bin:/usr/libexec:/usr/include";

foreach($EnvVars as $Key => $Val) { putenv("$Key=$Val"); $HTTP_ENV_VARS["$Key"] = $Val; }

I can see via phpinfo() that they are getting set. Any more ideas?

Jaxon,

do you have a line of white space after your closing tag?

Anyway, this looks fishy to me:

$page_id = mysql_result($result, 0, fieldname);

// Where is the closing } for if (!isset($page_id)) { ? // added it below }

I think you'd benefit from using braces more often too, so your style is consistent..... so changing

if (!$result) echo "wait - no result set!";

if (!$result) { echo "wait - no result set!"; }

might mean that you're able to spot things like this more easily.

Just my opinion ;)

Jonathan,

It looks like you are mixing threaded and non-threaded libraries. I assume PHP is non-threaded here, ensure you are using the non-threaded version of iODBC and check with your MyODBC driver maintainer for a libmyodbc.so that is non-threaded.

Also, you may wish to just post these question on the DB list - the cross post to the general list isn't necessary.

I've fell in love with PHP and would love use it and avoid have to call PHP from the commandline and parsing the outputs.

Any suggestion on if this can be done or any other langauge that do the trick besides PERL..

Thanks Chris

I'm just having my first ever look at my website raw log file and found this: Almost every entry is a "GET somefile HTTP/1.0", but one IP address sent about 200 HEAD requests instead of GET. No one else has done this, just this one IP address.

For example:

HEAD /contact.php4 HTTP/1.0

instead of

GET /contact.php4 HTTP/1.0

What does it mean?

cheers,

- seb

From the http1.1 rfc (because it's a http-related thing, not php) ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc2616.txt

9.4 HEAD

The HEAD method is identical to GET except that the server MUST NOT return a message-body in the response. The metainformation contained in the HTTP headers in response to a HEAD request SHOULD be identical to the information sent in response to a GET request. This method can be used for obtaining metainformation about the entity implied by the request without transferring the entity-body itself. This method is often used for testing hypertext links for validity, accessibility, and recent modification.

The response to a HEAD request MAY be cacheable in the sense that the information contained in the response MAY be used to update a previously cached entity from that resource. If the new field values indicate that the cached entity differs from the current entity (as would be indicated by a change in Content-Length, Content-MD5, ETag or Last-Modified), then the cache MUST treat the cache entry as stale.

Hi everybody, i'm a newie in php, but i have a general understanding of it.

Recently, i've installed PHP as a static module on my Apache-1.3.19 and tried an example i read in PHP tutorial.

Assume you have a page with a form like this on it:

and action.php like this

Hi <?php echo $name; ?>. You are <?php echo $age; ?> years old.

This action.php is supposed to print out values one enters to the form fields. Right?

So, my problem is that it doesn't. Instead, it prints Hi.You are years old.

Can anyone help me to figure it out or to point me to the right direction so in future i won't annoy you with my silly questions.

Thanks in advance, Mashrab.

Try:

<?php echo("$variable");?>

Have fun,

My guess is that your register_globals config option is off:

http://php.he.net/manual/en/configuration.php#ini.register-globals

(I believe that recent versions of PHP have it off by default). You should be able to access the values you want via

$HTTP_POST_VARS['name'] and $HTTP_POST_VARS['age']

check out http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.session.php as a place to start. if cookies are turned off, the session is maintained in the url.

have you figured out your mac session problem? i use a mac to develop my sites, and many of them use sessions without a problem. when i turn off cookies in the browser (usually the latest version of ie) php handles it smoothly.

let me know if you have any questions, mike

I just used the url to pass it since no matter what I did I couldn¹t seem to get it to work when cookies were turned off on my mac. I've read the session url on the php site from top to bottom and the transparent sessions are even enabled on the server, but yet to no avail on the mac :(

I am trying to make a string that will contain variables.

The resulting string will be a sql query string and must look something like

" update $table_name set key='$key' , next='$next' where id = $id"

Since the variable name is the same as the key name, I tried to generate this string with a foreach statement looking something like this:

foreach( $myrow as $key=>$val) { $sql .= "$key = ' \$$key ' ,"; }

This then makes the string look as follow:

key='$key',next='$next', and I just add the rest of the string to the front and back, yet, when I now try to use this string in the mysql_query() function, it does not recognise the '$key' and '$next' as variables and add them into the db as $key and $next. I need to know how I am going to make this string "recognise" the variables in them.

I was sitting here at work (working of course!) thinking about how some sites are blocked etc from viewing... Is it possible with PHP to do something like this:

Have a page where I can create kind of a middle man. I mean the PHP can be hosted on my server, it goes to the site I'd want to view (lets say www.php.net). It then relays it to my browser but as if it is coming from my server. So can it grab the pages, temp write them and server them over to me?

I know it seems kind of strange but I am curious about it....

Jeff

attached mail follows:

try readfile('http://www.somesite.com/');

it creates a mirror; it might bypass the firewall, depending on how the blocking software is keyed to activate.

Your are quite right it is off. Right at the bebinning of php.ini it says so. Blame on me i missed it.

And this also works.

Thanks Steve.
