Hi Nikola,

You need to add your PHP code to your HTML. I'm sure Dreamweaver allows you to edit the HTML directly, but I don't know how I'm afraid. To check everything's up and running, open Notepad (should be under Start>Programs>Accessories) and paste this in:

---start---

<html> <head> <title>Test PHP page</title> </head> <body> <?php echo "<h1>Hello world!</h1>"; ?> </body> </html>

----end----

If this works, then congratulations - you've just used echo()

If not, give us a shout and someone will help you out :-)

Cheers Jon

I'm sorry I have to ask these stuff, but I havent found anything like this in the manual. I am running win98 with properly insalled xitami web server with php support (I ran installshield). Any way, I cant figure out hov to make a smple program with echo command, because I don't know where to place the code. I am using opera 5.12 as my default browser, and Macromedia Dreamweaver as the html editor. Maybe there is an option in Dreamweaver , but I couldn't find it in it's documentation

Please help !

Hi all.

I have this variable cn$ which sometimes is in base64 format and sometimes it isnt. This is how the script looks like. It will get bigger but this is one of the problem i have to get threw first.

If you wonder why i dont use the built in ldap function in PHP i just can tell you that i want to. The compilation doesnt work and i have talked to several OpanLdap persons. So ignore that for now. The problem below is that ldaps $cn is sometimes in base64 format and if it is i need to decode it. I have no problem decoding it my problem is that i need to make it somehow "know" if it is in that format or not. Thankfull for any help.

//Johan

<?php $ldap="/export/scratch/apps3/ldap/bin/ldapsearch"; $string=`$ldap -L uid=$user uid cn department telephoneNumber| awk '{print $0}'`;

$line = explode("\n",$string); $var = array("cn:", "department:","uid:", "telephoneNumber:");

foreach ($var as $varx) { foreach ($line as $str) { if (ereg($varx,$str)) { $newvarx = str_replace (":","",$varx); $tomte[$newvarx] = str_replace($varx,"",$str); } //if } //foreach } //foreach

When it's about _showing_ 10 characters, and not to change the string itself:

$yourString = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"; printf ("%.10s", $yourString);

hi,

i'm awared that this is not exactly the correct forum for these questions. please humor me this one time:

1) can anyone refer me please to a public, postable MySQL newsgroup? i've found a few MySQL newsgroups, but none of them allows posting. it would be great if you could also tell me the name of the (public) newsgroup server hosting the group.

if you don't know of a newsgroup, how about a good (digest-capable) mailing list? i've tried the MySQL general mailing list, but they don't offer a 'digest' option and i can't handle getting hundreds of posts a day in my inbox.

2) who can refer me to a good intermediate tutorial to better learn MySQL syntax? again, i've been to mysql.com, but i find the structure & format of the site somehow daunting (not as user-friendly as the annotated manual at php.net).

thanks muchly,

tom

Not sure, but a hunt around on groups.google.com might well reveal something.

Agree about the format of the site :-)

IMHO the best tutorial for MySQL is Paul Dubois' book "MySQL", published by New Riders, which you can grab from amazon or b&n or wherever you usually buy these sorts of things. Takes you from beginner through to funky advanced stuff painlessly and clearly. Highly recommended.

Try the list found at www.mysql.com it's archive: http://lists.mysql.com/ Don't forget to check the archive before you post.. Dunno if it's digest-capable.. you need to find that one out on your own.

>2) who can refer me to a good intermediate tutorial to better learn >MySQL syntax? again, i've been to mysql.com, but i find the structure & >format of the site somehow daunting (not as user-friendly as the >annotated manual at php.net).

www.devshed.com has some good tutorials. Otherwise you could use a searchengine and type some words like: mysql tutorial Should help..

The book MySQL written by Paul DuBois is great..

Hi all,

I am still failing to fix this problem with headers. I receive the following error:

Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already sent by (output started at c:\apache\apache\htdocs\client-secure.php:11) in c:\apache\apache\htdocs\client-secure.php on line 18

Which would indicate that the line 11 is sending output to the browser. Line 11 is:

$uid=$HTTP_SESSION_VARS["userid"];

How can this be sending an output? I also get this:

Warning: Undefined index: userid in c:\apache\apache\htdocs\client-secure.php on line 11

Which would indicate that it cant find the session info. If it cant find it does it write it?

This is not an isolated case. This problem is happening in a few areas of the system yet on the live server everything works a dream!!??

Anyone any ideas?

Cheers

Nic

The error you get isn't saying that line 11 is sending output; the error is saying that output was sent prior to line 11. You'll get the error if you have any code that sends output to STDOUT, or if you have any HTML or even whitespace before your opening PHP tag, and then try to send header data. (Once the browser starts getting the data your PHP script sends to STDOUT and other HTML and spaces, the browser has all the header data its going to use, and sending more is erroneous.)

> Warning: Undefined index: userid in > c:\apache\apache\htdocs\client-secure.php on line 11 > Which would indicate that it cant find the session info. If it cant find it > does it write it?

Make sure you registered userid as a session variable i.e. - session_register("userid");

And/Or make sure you make a call to session_start() before trying to check the session variable(s) if you registered the variable in another script and/or don't have session.auto_start set to 1.

Thanks, Andrey pointed me in the right direction. It was the error output that was causing the headers to be sent ergo more errors :-P

Make sure to change the header. The page returned will have all the content but the header still says "404" this needs to be changed to "200" so that wget doesn't go off on a coffee break. Try using:

header ("status: 200 OK");

In some spare time I just created this function. It's prob. far from optimal, so maybe you'll have to give a look in order to optimize it. But at least it works.

--- PHP code --- <?

function inttoword ($x) { settype ($x, "string"); $returnString = "";

$digit = array ("One", "Two", "Three", "Four", "Five", "Six", "Seven", "Eight", "Nine", "Ten", "Eleven", "Twelve", "Thirteen", "Fourteen", "Fifteen", "Sixteen", "Seventeen", "Eighteen", "Nineteen"); $tens = array ("Twenty", "Thirty", "Fourty", "Fifty", "Sixty", "Seventy", "Eighty", "Ninety");

$hundred = false; for ($pos = 0; $pos < strlen ($x); $pos++) { $togo = strlen($x)-$pos; $returnString .= " ";

if ($togo > 2) { if ($togo > 3) { $returnString .= inttoword (substr($x, 0, $togo-3)); $returnString .= " Thousand"; $pos += ($togo-4); } else { if ((integer)substr($x, $pos, 1) > 0) { $returnString .= $digit[((integer)substr($x, $pos, 1))-1]; $returnString .= " Hundred"; $hundred = true; } } } elseif ($togo == 2) { if ((integer)substr($x, $pos, 1) == 1) { if ($hundred) $returnString .= "and "; $returnString .= $digit[((integer)substr($x, $pos, 2))-1]; break; } else { if ((integer)substr($x, $pos, 1) > 0) { if ($hundred) $returnString .= "and "; $hundred = false; $returnString .= $tens[((integer)substr($x, $pos, 1))-2]; } $pos++; $returnString .= " "; if ((integer)substr($x, $pos, 1)) { if ($hundred) $returnString .= "and "; $returnString .= $digit[((integer)substr($x, $pos, 1))-1]; } break; } } else { if ($hundred) $returnString .= "and "; $returnString .= $digit[((integer)substr($x, $pos, 1))-1]; } }

return (preg_replace ("/\s+/", " ", preg_replace ("/^\s+/", "", $returnString))); }

?> <PRE> <? print inttoword(11)."\n"; print inttoword(21)."\n"; print inttoword(101)."\n"; print inttoword(152)."\n"; print inttoword(1000)."\n"; print inttoword(101032)."\n"; print inttoword(111111)."\n"; ?> </PRE>

--- End of PHP code ---

Let me know if this is what you're looking for and/or if you have optimized it.

Good luck!

Oh... btw... It works uptil 999999. So you can convert everything between 1 and 999999. Zero (0) cannot be converted (stupid but true, and easy to patch in) and everything >= a million will result in very weird results.

But like I said... it's just a quickly written function and the most used numbers you can convert.

* R&zE:

attached mail follows:

Here is a slightly more readable number-to-English converter. It will deal with negative numbers and recognizes zero; it's table-driven, so it shouldn't be too hard to convert to other languages.

It will convert anything in +/- 10^30. This should be pretty comprehensive; if not, extend the triplets table (and email me to explain what on Earth you're doing with it!! ;-)

<?php

// Hugh Bothwell hugh_bothwellhotmail.com // August 31 2001 // Number-to-word converter

$ones = array( "", " one", " two", " three", " four", " five", " six", " seven", " eight", " nine", " ten", " eleven", " twelve", " thirteen", " fourteen", " fifteen", " sixteen", " seventeen", " eighteen", " nineteen" );

$tens = array( "", "", " twenty", " thirty", " forty", " fifty", " sixty", " seventy", " eighty", " ninety" );

$triplets = array( "", " thousand", " million", " billion", " trillion", " quadrillion", " quintillion", " sextillion", " septillion", " octillion", " nonillion" );

// recursive fn, converts three digits per pass function convertTri($num, $tri) { global $ones, $tens, $triplets;

// chunk the number, ...rxyy $r = (int) ($num / 1000); $x = ($num / 100) % 10; $y = $num % 100;

// init the output string $str = "";

// do hundreds if ($x > 0) $str = $ones[$x] . " hundred";

// do ones and tens if ($y < 20) $str .= $ones[$y]; else $str .= $tens[(int) ($y / 10)] . $ones[$y % 10];

// add triplet modifier only if there // is some output to be modified... if ($str != "") $str .= $triplets[$tri];

// continue recursing? if ($r > 0) return convertTri($r, $tri+1).$str; else return $str; }

// returns the number as an anglicized string function convertNum($num) { $num = (int) $num; // make sure it's an integer

if ($num < 0) return "negative".convertTri(-$num, 0);

if ($num == 0) return "zero";

return convertTri($num, 0); }

and a test fn I wrote,

<?php function randThousand() { return mt_rand(0,999); }

// Returns an integer in -10^9 .. 10^9 // with log distribution function makeLogRand() { $sign = mt_rand(0,1)*2 - 1; $val = randThousand() * 1000000 + randThousand() * 1000 + randThousand(); $scale = mt_rand(-9,0);

return $sign * (int) ($val * pow(10.0, $scale)); }

// example of usage for ($i = 0; $i < 20; $i++) { $num = makeLogRand(); echo "<br>$num: ".convertNum($num); } ?>

Usage is simple: convertNum(integer) returns a string, the value in English.

Hope this helps.

Hello!

I have a question regarding sessions when

register_globals = off

in php.ini

Using the example from www.php.net:

<? session_register("count"); $HTTP_SESSION_VARS["count"]++; ?>

This works well when

session.save_handler = files

However, when

session.save_handler = user

where the "user" functions are the ones found on phpbuilder.com. It turns out that the sess_write rountine is NEVER called, ie. session_registered variables aren't saved.

I thought there was something wrong with the customer-handler but for debugging purposes, I took out everything except things like:

function sess_write ($key, string value) { echo ( "sess_write was called.<br>"); }

and yet, it was ever called! Other functions like read, gc, destory works great.

However, if I change php.ini to

register_globals = ON

Then the above sess_write function would be called!

Is this a known problem, or am I missing something?

Jack,

You can either check your text field with JavaScript before submitting your form or after on server-side with PHP. I prefer to use JavaScript because it saves a back and forth.

here an example of that :

http://1ppl.free.fr/scripts/javascript16.htm

For the printing function, check that :

Jack, Yes this is possible. I assume you want to use a javascript onClick event function. Then in your javasript code, just execute your PHP code. You can run PHP code within a javascript block. For example, on my site I assign a javascript variable to the value held in a PHP variable like this:

var jstitle = <? print("\"" . $article_array[1][0] . "\""); ?>;

Good luck,

We've tried doing that - that's how c-client normally wants to learn about the krb4 ticket file (with the KRBTKFILE variable).

But... something is caching the KRBTKFILE value in appropriately, and it's not getting reset each time php is accessed. We're pretty sure the problem lies with c-client (probably the krb4 kerberos patches - that it expect to be called in a single-user kinda situation, such as from pine, so it doesn't clean up after itself properly). Rather than rely on c-client seeing the KRBTKFILE variable, we're trying hard code the name of the ticketfile into c-client.. which, on our webservers, will *always* be /ticket/kerb.username (ie /ticket/kerb.liamr) My post for 8/29 describe the actualy problem in more detail.

We had gotten around this by running PHP as a CGI - to make it get a fresh copy of the environment everytime.. but at this point in the game we really need to run it as a server module.

So, we're trying to correct for this in the source code of the krb4 patches to c-client.. but we can't get the user name into it.

php_imap.c stores the value we want in imap->user, but we can't find it again once php_imap.c calls c-client itself. We'd expected it to be in mb->user, but that variable is empty.. and that little piece of printenv code we tried shows the c-client knows about the HTTP_ENV_VARS class of variables, but not the HTTP_SERVER_VARS variables.

Is it possible to use data collected in a form ON THE SAME PAGE without using the form's "submit" button? In other words, if a text field is filled in, can I capture (via PHP or other means) the info typed there and display it elsewhere on the same page?

I realize the answer may very well be "NO," but if it is possible, it would certainly make my life easier this morning.

$HTTP_HOST - not sure if all browsers use this though(read older non 1.1 compliant)

Another question would be why do NamedVirtualHost and have an entry for that domain point to their directory in your Apache conf file (if using apache). Otherwise I get teh impression that you would have to wrap every conceivable page on the sub-directory site in the main directory with the redirect PHP script...

ie, yes, if I request just the domain name your index page can redirect to a sub-directory... however if I request WidgetWorld.com/thispage.php the requests will go to MainDomain.com/thispage.php and will return 404 error if it doesn't exist

follow my concern?

That hasn't much to do what I was saying, but, anyway your are not linking to anybody in either php.net or zend.com , apart from the links section and the directory that do not give a big deal of visibility.

Oh, man, do you really do that? That is worse than not mention it at all. You may be joking but not everybody may understand it that way. Doing that you ruining the credibility of those efforts that take PHP far out what originally it was meant for. If you are going to just make it a joke, you'd better not mention it at all. I think that is extremely unfair for people like Andrei and other that worked so much on it! :-(

<synopsis> 1) some want direct marketing 2) Some believe the status quo is enough 3) all agreee php is useful as a web development tool/language 4) some agree that it can/should be more (GTK/Command Line etc)

This originally started as a call to php'ers to step up and market the language so that it can compete more vitally in a larger market. Both Rasmus and Zeev have stated that they believe they are doing just that via conferences and Zend. Mr Lemos et al believe that more should be done. A more constructive targeted aim at the .NET and Java based crowd. Several solutions/ideas have been suggested one of which is a poll/display of quality/imaginative etc php sites.

Good job anyway. For me the most important point is that the developer/maintainer of the language are focusing on making the best web development language out there. (even if it is already the best)

Because you did not define $SCRIPT_FILENAME anywhere. If you want to access the global variable, you've got to say so:

global $SCRIPT_FILENAME;

Or, so you don't have to specify all the variables you are using as globals (especially if you are using *alot* of them), you can use:

$GLOBALS[SCRIPT_FILENAME];

What's the gain? 'global ' has 7 characters, whereas '$GLOBALS[]' has 10 characters. So, you don't type less. And with using global(), the code is more orderly, and thus easier to read.

True. But take the following function:

function processLotsOfFormVars() { global $fieldOne, $fieldTwo, $fieldThree, $fieldFour; global $fieldFive, $fieldSix, $fieldSeven; global $PHP_SELF, $REQUEST_URI; global $HTTP_REFERER;

echo "Field One is: $fieldOne<br>\n"; echo "Field Two is: $fieldTwo<br>\n"; // etc }

OR you can do it this way:

function processLotsOfFormVars() { echo "Field One is: $GLOBALS[fieldOne]<br>\n"; echo "Field Two is: $GLOBALS[fieldTwo]<br>\n"; // etc }

I've done it both ways. I'm not advocating using "$GLOBALS[var_name];" over "global $var_name", just that it is an alternative if you are using alot of global variables in a function. Plus, if the function gets large, it's easier to see where the value is coming from by using the $GLOBALS variable. That's all I was saying.

True. But take the following function:

function processLotsOfFormVars() { global $fieldOne, $fieldTwo, $fieldThree, $fieldFour; global $fieldFive, $fieldSix, $fieldSeven; global $PHP_SELF, $REQUEST_URI; global $HTTP_REFERER;

echo "Field One is: $fieldOne<br>\n"; echo "Field Two is: $fieldTwo<br>\n"; // etc }

OR you can do it this way:

function processLotsOfFormVars() { echo "Field One is: $GLOBALS[fieldOne]<br>\n"; echo "Field Two is: $GLOBALS[fieldTwo]<br>\n"; // etc }

Uh? I don't see it. The "matching" function 1 is:

function processLotsOfFormVars() { global $fieldOne; global $fieldTwo;

echo "Field One is: $fieldOne<br>\n"; echo "Field Two is: $fieldTwo<br>\n"; }

this quite doesn't look as intimidating as the piece you wrote. And even if there are 10 lines of 'global', I still like it a lot better, because it CLEARLY shows which form vars are going to be used.

One of the downside of PHP IMHO is, that you do not have to define variables. This leads to a lot of errors. At least there should be a "option", which forces you to define variables, like maybe so:

dim $some_var;

this leads to easier readable code IMHO.

Now, that's the point I'm arguing here. I don't think so.

I definitely agree there. I've been bitten by this bug more times than I can count. Granted, it's always been my fault, but it would have been nice to have something there to say "hey, this variable hasn't been defined". I know you can make PHP do this if you set the error checking very, very high but in doing so, you are also opening up another bucket of worms that you don't always need to deal with.

This is definitely a matter of coding style. Neither of us are wrong, just a matter of preference. In replying, I was simply offering alternatives so that Arcadius would know all options open to him. I wasn't trying to say your way was erroneous and if I came off that way, my apologies.

Cool ... Now that we're talking about PHP .... I'd like to ask a question .... You know the "overloading" function in C++ .... Is that possible in PHP ?

Basically , I'd like to define more than one function having the same name but different number of variables/parameters ... so PHP would know which one I'm calling depending on the numbwer/type of the variables ... exemple :

<? function arcad_func( $var_a ) { echo $vara ; } ; function arcad_func( $var_a , $var_b ) { echo $vara . $var_b ; } ?>

<? arcad_func("Hello!"); arcad_func("Hello" , "World!") ?>

Would this work ?

You can do this with variable parameters. Something along these lines:

function myFunc( $requiredVar, $optionalVar1 = "", $optionalVar2 = "" ) { echo "$requiredVar<br>\n";

if( $optionalVar1 ) { echo "$optionalVar1<br>\n";

} // etc. }

Alternately, if you need *alot* of optional vars, consider passing an array and check that.

I've not followed this thread but this is pretty much what E_NOTICE is for, turn it on in error_reporting and it'll tell you every undefined variable. Do this in php.ini or with error_reporting function. In fact, one _should_ develop with E_ALL on.

if ($var) // will produce a Warning if $var is not set

echo $notset; // ditto

$arr[somekey] // Warning if constant variable somekey is not defined (i.e. use 'quotes')

$arr['key'] // Warning if key 'key' not defined

Ehmmm... You say that people who aren't authorized aren't allowed to see the page (which makes sense ;). I don't know ofcourse how you take care of things, but for me it's no problem if unauthorized people get URL's where they shouldn't look. I mean... the server just denies access. Problem solved!

I have looked in my PHP text and searched the web, but haven't found anything real useful. I am not interested in Apache or OS security, as this is -hopefully- taken care of by my webhost.

Great question - I'd love to know too.

I can give you one hint. Make sure that you validate any variables passed in the url. I had a script that should take an integer, and realised if someone put in a fraction or text then the script output errors to the html page showing file and directory names that I wanted hidden.

To solve this I used:

function SecureInt($var,$default) { if (($var!=0) && ($var*1!=0) && is_int($var*1)) { $var=$var*1; //echo "is int"; } else { $var=$default; //echo "is not int"; } return($var); }

$intvar = SecureInt($intvar,1);

Thanks for the tip. This is what I am talking about. Even with an error like the one you mention below, preferably the page should die nicely and not output a bunch of secret info or other stuff to the client. I am generally careful to prevent that from happening in all my dealings with my mySQL db by checking all the db connections, results, and things, and killing the execution if there was some error. This works well. But I am sure I have not covered every possibility.

I am mainly looking for a list of links or textbooks that outlines some of these things.

My apologies for the previous message not being complete (for some reason CTRL-V occasionally sends the message in Outlook!).

Let's try this again.

If you're talking about a form, then what you can do is set the properties for the button like so:

This won't work if you're thinking of using JavaScript to validate the form before it gets sent to the server, but it's good if you want to submit the form and perform a JS action at the same time.

Also, if you are considering using JavaScript to validate your form, you may want to reconsider doing it in PHP as JavaScript is easy to circumvent.

Jack, My apologies. Disregard my earlier example - it only works because the PHP variable is "passed" to the javascript variable during onLoad when everything is executed. But in your case, the page has already been sent to the client and PHP can only be called by calling the server again.

I think most if not all of us doing industrial-strength Web programming for our living end up doing it at both ends - JavaScript for browsers that support it (reduces round-trips if we can verify early and customer gets immediate and nicely presented feedback) and server side (for those browsers that aren't "doing" JavaScript and for doing heavy-duty and/or session based validation).

You just can't win ...

Hi Ari,

If you are using Linux (if not you should! really) You can use lprfax which will let you use 'lpr -Pfax -J<number or name>', mgetty-fax, efax or something like that. If you use one of those programs dump the information to file and use exec() from PHP.

Is there a way in an IF statement to see if someone's name is in the array? Like...

just to add some info. rememember this is case sensitive and spaces do matter, sometimes (depending on your goals) the following will apply :

Joseph, The below postings are what you're looking for. Hopefully the in_array PHP function uses a smart search algorithm and doesn't go through the entire array. If you store your values in a db you can make use of an index on the column, or you could write your own search algorithm that uses a btree or some other type of search methodology.

Not sure what your goal is here but the easiest (and most efficient) way to get the first character of a string is :

$string = 'abcdef';

print $string{0}; // prints a print $string{3}; // prints d

So in your case, maybe the following craziness is what you're wanting :

${$string{0}} = 'crazy';

print $a; // prints crazy

I can't cope the fact that I loose my variables every time I reload the page. If someone could point me to the right direction, I'd be grateful.

Present problem:

I have a script that has some globals (surprise). Within this script, pretty deep in a function call tree, a function saves a query into an array and saves it to a global. Then an user makes an selection and the script reloads itself. After this I'd like to my hands on the saved query, but the global variable where it's saved seems to get initialised on reload. How to get around this? Sessions? I'm pretty new (a forthnight and wery little documentation) to server side programming, so I'm probably misunderstanding some basics.

Most of my problems are related to this area, so anyone bold enough to anwer will probably pounded with several questions more.

Thank you in advance Jon Thompson Coon

I think, the built-in session management can solve your problem: http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref-session.php

Briefly, you should register your variable into the session and after reloading the page you can get it back.

echo sends a literal string to the output and eventually evaluates variables that are found inside, so it seems that your instruction should be:

echo "<h1>{$beer}'s taste is great</h1>";

Why it worked with <h1> outside, I guess because it was closing some former tag in your code or something like that...

Hope this helps (this sentence should be a tag!) Regards, Alex.

do yourself a favor... create a file, call it something like test.php and add the following to it's contents: /* begin test.php */ <?php phpinfo(); ?> /* End test.php */

then, open this page with your browser. if PHP is working, you should see a lot of configuration and version information, and the PHP logo etc.... if you don't see that, then your installation is broken.

I stopped counting and started hitting the delete button.

Just wondering how long this tread will keep alive.. thought it would be dead by now.

It started as "The future of PHP" but seems to become a discussion about what is a suitable job for a PHP script.. how to do some marketing for PHP.. ISP's not nowing everything about PHP.. and many many other things..

I've got some great ideas for cheap but very effective marketing.. but I'm running out of time now.

Tim, thanks for the tip. I had heard of this behavior before, but never witnessed it. Today I wrote a test form with 1 text field and 1 submit, and it did do this: when I submitted via return, the submit field was not posted. However, when I added a second text field to the form, the submit did get posted. I was careful that the focus was still in the text field, and not on the button, when I hit return.

Any ideas on why this inconsistency? Just curious. Since it is inconsistent, your point is important and well-taken.

My code is below if anyone wants to play.

can anyone help? safe mode is set to "0", which i believe is "off".

i put a chmod command in one of my scripts and got the following error on running it:

Warning: chmod failed: Operation not permitted in /path-here/index.phtml on line 1

why won't chmod work?

the chmod command i used is: <?chmod("../index.phtml", 0646);write data to file that has been made world-writable here; chmod("../index.phtml", 0644);}?>

the full error printout is:

Warning: chmod failed: Operation not permitted in /path-here/index.phtml on line 1

Warning: fopen("../index.phtml","a") - Permission denied in /path here/index.phtml on line 1

Warning: Unable to find file identifier 0 in /path here/index.phtml on line 2

Warning: chmod failed: Operation not permitted in /path-here/index.phtml on line 2

I know the second error is because the file wasn't made world-writable so it wasn't able to write to it, i don't know what the third error is for

who owns the file to begin with? your account? a web server typically runs as a low access account, such as "nobody" on Unix. So, what is probably happening is that you don't have permissions to chmod the file. Doesn't have anything to do with your PHP configuration.

Therein lies the problem. The webserver, therefore your PHP script, is probably *NOT* running with your credentials.

at your unix prompt, (assuming you are running apache) enter the command "ps -ef |grep httpd"

you should see the httpd (apache) process, and who owns it. Typicly this is the user "nobody". Your file needs to be owned by the user that owns the httpd process.

OK I have been using the *same* cookie function to place cookies on the surfers pc and it works for a few hundred people just fine. Now I have a few people that it just won't work for.

After extensive testing the only thing I can see is that it is not writing the cookies, we do see it writing the c_user_email cookie, but not others, we even added code to erase the cookie first, and still no luck.

Any ideas would be appreciated...

function f_put_cookie($user_name,$user_email,$account_type,$company_name) {

global $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS; global $s_c_url;

$l_url = ".".$s_c_url;

setcookie("c_user_email",$user_email,(time()+400*30*12),'/',$l_url,0);

setcookie("c_user_name",$user_name,(time()+400),'/',$l_url,0);

setcookie("c_account_type",$account_type,(time()+400),'/',$l_url,0);

setcookie("c_company_name",$company_name,(time()+400),'/',$l_url,0); setcookie("c_uas_time", "GREEN",(time()+400),'/',$l_url,0); }

I had the exact same problem, so what I have been doing is using the header function to set cookies directly as a header. For example:

header("Set-Cookie: CookieName=$NameVar; path=/; expires=$DateVar");

I have had no problems with this way of setting cookies... So far :)

i'm sorry if the solution to this problem was posted here before, but if it was i couldn't find it.

i have an app that it's basically like this:

index.php:

$app = new App; $app->start();

in class app:

function start() { (....) session_start();

if($need_auth) { global $auth; /* another class */ if(!isset($auth)) { $auth = new auth; session_register("auth"); } $auth->start(); } (....) }

my question is, the auth class get's registered, and the auth array inside the auth class ($auth->auth[]) get his values recorded on the first attempt, but, if the user tries again, it doesn't refresh the session data, oh i'm using my session functions to write them on a mysql db, i've been debugging, and i can see all the queries that the session stores in the db through syslog, and for instance in $auth->start() if i change any variable like $this->auth["username"]=$username; the data field passed to my session_write() still has the first value not $username instead.

another question is, at what time of the script does php call my session_write function to update the registered session?!

thanks all

I'm getting the following error:

Warning: Unable to find ftpbuf 0 in C:\directory\page.php on line 22

Whenever I try to connect to our FTP server...it does this whenever I make a call to ftp_login(). The server, username, and password are correct, and I can successfully FTP into it through other clients.

It also gives this error for the first ftp_put() I call, but it drops the first file to be FTP'd into its local folder and then the script dies. Does anyone know whether this error is coming from my code, PHP, or the FTP server I'm trying to connect to?

Afternoon List-

I have been burrowing through archives and newsgroups for awhile now and have been trying to find some info on a better way to upload files from a browser then doing HTTP based uploads? Are there any?

My system: PIII 750, 128MB RAM running FreeBSD 4.2 and Apache 1.3.20, PHP 4.0.6

The normal load average is very low (usually 95%+ resources free), but when I start the HTTP load the single http process slowly makes its merry way to 98% CPU util or so. Additional PHP based requests are slow, while html requests are fine. I was also reading that large http file requests are inherrintly slow and have troubles. Details on this?

I guess my question is, is uploading large file (15MB+) over the internet a viable thing to do using a HTTP upload method? and are there ways of keeping the process utilization down? That's probably BSD dependant, but thought I'd throw it in :)

Thanks!

Henrik

I am searching a way of disabling certain functions in a particular Virtual Host.

I search through the archive of this list and I found a begening of a solution. I can disable functions in php.ini, but I can't use them in vhost I want to. If I don't disable functions in php.ini, I cannot disable functions through httpd.conf with php_value or php_admin_value...

Does some one have an Idea ?
