Okay, here is my dilemma:

I have one page, (non-secure), which sets session variables for the users address, items, prices, etc. I have the next page which is secure, and cannot get the session variables from the previous page. Is there a way to pass the variables between the secure and non-secure servers? I cannot send the information in my session variables in the url (that information needs to remain in the session).

I have searched the php mailing lists about this and have not found anything that will answer this question.

Any and all help, verbose if possible, is appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi there.

I am rather new to PHP and I am trying to implement the following on a Solaris 8, Apache 1.3.24 Server.

We use siteminder here as our authentication method for the website. Siteminder passes back certain user information that I can then display on the website to customize it for the user. I've gotten this working with ASP on Windows nt server with IIS, but I cannot seem to make it work on Apache. The command that I use in ASP to retrieve the data is this:

<%=Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_NAME")%>

This command returns the user's full name.

I've tried some echo commands without any luck.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Re: about referencing A from B You're exactly right - to make a reference, you'll need to either 1) make A global, or 2) pass A as a parameter to B's constructor.

Re: (un)serialising maintaining reference, not copy Sorry, haven't tried serialising an object with references in it before - I guess the easiest way to find out is to do a simple test. Something like (in pseudocode) 1. define classes A and B 2. instantiate A and B 3. serialise A and B 4. unset() objects A and B 5. unserialise A and B 6. change something in A 7. see if changes are shown in B

-----Original Message----- From: Alok K. Dhir [mailto:alokdhir.net] Sent: Thursday, April 11, 2002 6:52 AM To: php-generallists.php.net Subject: [PHP] OO-PHP Style question

(sent this to the wrong list the first time - apologies in advance)

Given an app with the following overall class structure:

Base.class { function Base() { ##initialize stuff } }

A.class extends Base { var $var; var $b; function A() { $var="x"; $b=new B.class(); } }

B.class extends Base { var $y; function B() { $y="something"; ##How do I refer to $var in A } }

Now, how would/could an instance of B get to a variable in A (i.e. the calling class). One (seemingly rather ugly) way is to declare the A instance global and refer to that from within B. I.e.

<? global $x $x=new A; ## now we can say something like "$x->var" from within B ?>

Or, another way is to pass a reference to A in with the call to B - so we'd change the class defs for A and B to look like:

A.class extends Base { var $var; var $b; function A() { $var="x"; $b=new B.class($this); //pass a ref to myself } }

B.class extends Base { var $a; var $y; function B(&$a) { //always take this arg as a reference $y="something"; // now $a contains a ref to the calling object echo $a->var; } }

Am I thinking about this correctly? Am I missing some obvious language contruct which would obviate the need for A to pass itself as an arg to the instantiation of B? Is my object structure completely naive?

In the second case, what happens after you serialize and unserialize an A object as in a session? Will The instance of B called $b in the A object still contain a _reference_ to the A object in it's $a var, or will it now have a _copy_?

I'm trying to get an idea of best practices for these types of issues. Any comments/discussion is very much appreciated.

What is a "percentage"? I.e. what do you want as output? The way I read this, you could want one of two things:

Assuming $x="040" -

1. string "40%"

$percent=intval($x)."%";

2. float 0.40

$percent=round($x/100,2);

attached mail follows:

you can use unset($this), but it'll only work if there are no other variables referencing to this object. unset only unsets the reference to value, not the value itself. PHP will unset the value totally, if there are no references to it anymore. so using $this = null; , is perhaps the better solution.

example for unset not unsetting the value but the reference:

<?php class test { var $test1 = ""; function test($str) { $this->test1 = $str; } function kill() { unset($this); } }

$new =& new test("hallo");

$test = &$new;

$new->kill();

echo $test->test1; ?>

this will output hallo, although you called unset($this).

Hello everybody!

I'm just entering the wonderful world of PHP and i already have a doubt. I installed the apache server on my Windows ME :-p, to use for local tests. I have to acess it manually (meaning i have to click the apache startup everytime i want to do something...). Anyway i proceded to install PHP (on c:\php\, and everything went ok. I test my first php file ( a simple echo command) at the http://localhost directory (or c:\program files\apache group\apache\htdocs). It all went ok. So i started wondering if it detected a php outside of that path, like in the desktop or some other folder (since i'm very keen on having my sites in specif folders). Unfortunately it didn't, it just showed the php as a txt file. Is there anyway to make the files readable everywhere?

Yeah, basically, in your httpd.conf file you specify the DocumentRoot for your Apache installation. Then whatever dirs are below that inherit the AddType(s) and such of the parent. You can add different dirs individually if you want. Just add the following to your httpd.conf file (you can put them anywhere in the file, bottom is ok):

<Directory "C:\WINDOWS\Desktop\work"> AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml .php3 #Next line is optional (for viewing source) AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps </Directory>

Anyway, you can create a Directory section for any dir on the system that you want to be able to parse php files in.

Hope it helps,

Greetings.

I was wondering if there are any good ways of converting a date into another time zone? For instance, from GMT+8 to GMT+1, is this possible in some way?

Like if I have a date written 09.04.2002 14:11, I would like to format it into GMT+1.. Any solutions?

Thanks alot

setenv() the appropriate timezone, then use strtotime() or mktime() to create a timestamp. Then setenv() to the other timezone and use date() or strftime() to convert back into a legible format.

Thanks for the quick answer! Perhaps you have a smaller code snippet for this?

NOTE It wouldn't mind if the entire website would go after one timezone, in this case from GMT+8 to GMT+1.

If your list boxes are coming from data in a MySQL or ODBC database, check out my SQL Solution: http://www.sqlsolution.info/. One of the things it does is generate form elements (ie text, checkbox, radio and option lists) automatically from your query results.

Hi everyone,

I have a listed result from the MySQL table but I want the user to be able to get more information without having to use the back button a lot after they finish viewing details. So when the user clicks on one of the records then it will open a new window to view the detailed information. So it would need to pass the serial number for the table to the new window. I would like for the window to be as restricted as possible. (no resize, no menu options, etc...) really just a close [x] is all it should have. When the user clicks on one record and the new window opens with the detailed info, then if they do not close that new window before clicking on another record, then the new details for that record should just reload in the second window. (Since it is still open) Know what I mean? I can see it in my head, but I am not very fluent with php and or Javascript. Can anyone help me on this?

Try this code... this is the originating page, with a link for each person, which passes a user id to the function.

The function opens a new window, with all sorts of chrome turned off or on (my defaults are pretty close to what you want) with the url details.php?id=<the id you passed>.

details.php can then use the value of $id to look up a db and print stuff to the screen.

<HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>foo</TITLE> <SCRIPT language="JavaScript">  </SCRIPT> </HEAD> <BODY> <A HREF="javascript:popMeUp('4');">view person number 4</a> </BODY> </HTML>

You will have problems with the user leaving the window open and going back to where they were (main window). Since it's still open, new details open in this same small window, which is now in the background.

To bring details.php (the small window, possibly in the background) to the front each time it loads, you'll need to include this in your body tag:

Hope this helps -- it's a trimmed down version of what I use for help topics, profiles, etc etc.

Of course, I need to remind you that the links will fail on non-javascript browsers. A more complete solution would involve <NOSCRIPT></NOSCRIPT> tags and perhaps javascript writeln, in order to have non JS browser just go to an full page.

However, for the vast number of your users, this will work out fine.

That's not valid HTML. This is: echo '<form method="post" action="get.php3#update">';

But, I suspect that's not your problem. I'm guessing that the browser, or even HTML, doesn't support anchors in POST action statements. You could try "get" as the method and it'll probably work.

When I run the html and submit it - I get messages "Inside if " and at the end "file upload over" But when I check the directory /img - there is nothing inside. i.e. no file is getting uploaded.

That's a mighty small limit on file size. Especially if it's an image being uploaded. Are you sure the file you're testing with is smaller than 1000 bytes?

Also, be aware that this field is advisory only. Many browsers ignore it.

>if (is_uploaded_file($HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'])) { > copy($HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], "/img");

Check to see whether that "copy" function completed successfully. I'd be surprised if you really want to move the file to /img. And if you're on a Unix system the web server certainly won't have write access to the / directory.

>STILL NOT GETTING LOADED. ANYTHING ELSE ?

Please don't shout.

attached mail follows:

yes.. well from a quick glance the problem lies not in the MAX_FILE_SIZE or not using the HTTP_POST_FILES

but more in the improper usage of the "copy" function

I saw it briefly and thought.. hmmm never used it.. but's it's param's look wonky..

so yes I was right after a quick lookup on the function..

therefore point of story:

try this line instead:

copy($HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], "/img/".$HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], );

and I strongly believe your problem will be fixed...

tell me if not..

good luck..

Thanks to Michael, Barry, Steve, Cal and Rasmus for replies.

We have just taken a contract for a dedicated server, and I tried rather hard to get it to be a Linux server. The killer for that was that we have a significantly complex site that will need to be migrated to the server which has been coded in asp - which leaves us rather stuck with Windows and IIS. I stared this hard in the face and asked questions about the cost of recoding before being reluctantly persuaded this had to be.

So that being the case, am I picking up the message that the criticisms are basically correct? ie. no-one ought to start from here, but if you're forced to use IIS (because asp won't work with anything else) then php / mysql is not going to be the way to go (xxx are proposing coldfusion / sqlserver).

"Officially" perhaps but I think the overwhelming consensus has been that ISAPI under Windows just didn't work. It *does* work now, as long as you don't use any third party DLLs (like MySQL, GD, etc) rendering it pretty useless.

Sorry, it's just anecdotal evidence, but you'll notice that no one in the PHP camp will unequivocally say that PHP under ISAPI is solid. The silence on ISAPI speaks volumes right now.

If the only way to get "open source" products in the door is to have them running half-crippled (running on OSes they weren't designed for) you're giving "open source" products a bad image. No one expects ASP to run on anything but IIS (chilisoft notwithstanding). If the server HAS to be Windows, use ActiveState's Perl or something else with a company behind it and just go down that road.

Having PHP run poorly under Windows will just make PHP look bad, even if it's Windows' fault.

But there is really no point in switching from ASP to CF. What are you hoping to gain? Going from one dead-end proprietary system to another which both try to lock you into their technologies seems pointless to me. Is ASP not working? Why not just stick with that?

Why not get a low-cost Linux server as well and slowly start migrating things?

Hi All,

I have the following question. I have been developing with C for a

while and I was used that the \0 indicated the end of a string. So if

I had a variable containing 1234\056789 and the variable was printed,

only 1234 was printed.

As I can see in PHP (version 4.0.6 ), when I echo such a variable

also the characters are printed, even the characters after \0. Is this

the case PHP should work or is it a bug ? Isn't \0 really a string

termination character in PHP ?

In this respect, PHP is not like C. Strings are defines within quotes, single or double depending on the circumstances. So \0 does not define the end of a string.

Hello all

I have a script called ‘report.php’ that generates a report in HTML. This report must be created at regular intervals; hence I have set up a cron job to call that script. The output of ‘report.php’ must be sent by e-mail. I use the following command:

/usr/bin/lynx -source http://server.com/report.php | mail -s "Report" foobar.com

This works fine. The result of report.php is sent to foobar.com.

However, the results do not appear as HTML in the e-mail client, but as text. This is due to the fact that the headers saying ‘This is HTML’ are missing from the e-mail message sent.

Does anyone know how it is possible to get 'mail' to add suitable headers to the above command, so that the receiving e-mail client knows that it is getting an HTML and not a text message?

Any help would be gratefully received. TIA.

Hi,

I am trying to create an html automatic response email to users that fill out a form.

Workflow -

1. User fills out form and selects submit 2. The contents of the form are then mailed to a secretary for record keeping 3. (Where the problem is) An html based email is sent to the email address that the user entered into the form. 4. The user is redirected to a confirmation page

Ok - steps one and two work fine so on to step three.

After the code that mails the form then my code --

if ("PHP_MAIL_FORM=true") { $to = "$address_email"; $subject = "Uncharted Outposts Newsletter"; $message = <html><p>Test Email</p></html>; $headers = "To: $name_first <$address_email>\nFrom: <My Company>\nReply-To: <My Company>\nMIME-Version: 1.0\nContent-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\n"; mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers); }

Where $address_email and $name_first are variables from the form

The script as is works fine, but I want to assign the contents of a separate file (a web page) to $message instead of inserting the contents of the file as a string in the actual script. I want the body of the email to come from a separate file to help make changing the body of the email easier too. I tried using -

readfile("includes/news.html")

But that did not work and instead inserted file into the actual webpage instead of the email.

Does anyone have an idea or suggestion?

Thanks for your help,

two possibilities: - put your array in a form with hidden fields - use sessions

I would prefer the second option (check manual for sessions)

Actually if you really want to pass it through the URL you can do it this way:

There are other ways of doing it, but basically you want a URL that looks like this:

This tells php that that variable through the url is to be parsed as an array.

You can also, like Edward said, use hidden fields in a form, use sessions. You can also use cookies with serialize to pass them, which since most people accept them it is usually ok. There are ways of checking for cookies also. Hmm.. What else probably lots of other ways, but if you don¹t mind the url mess then you might as well do the above example. I've used all of the above examples it just depends on what you are using it for in my opinion :) I hope it helps!

Cheers!

first serialize and then base64encode your array. send this encoded string to the next page and base64decode it there first and then unserialize it.

and sample2.php:

<?php

$array = unserialize(base64_decode($array)); print_r($array); ?>

Hi, I am looking for Web host that offers the best deal plus postgreSQL support. Could anyone come up with the best one? The best deal would include Telnet access and cost as low as round $15/per month. Thanks.

Why not just use an if instead of a while? This way you test for a result and get it at the same time

If ($array = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { foreach($array as $key=?$value) echo("$key=?$value<br>"); } else echo("sorry didn't get anything");

No, it's not. Since you know that you'll either get 0 or 1 row, you don't need the while loop. Instead I'd call mysql_num_rows to see if there was 1 row.

I think the nearest you can get to this would be something like:

my_function($bob, $a=='H'?'Y':NULL);

but then my_function has got to know to expect a NULL instead of a missing parameter...!

see what's wrong here: ereg('(^[0-1231]$).jpg$',$file_name)

[] meens a group of characters, so in your case 0,1,2 and 3 are valid characters. you haven't defined any modifer like ?,*,+ or{}, so one of this characters has to be found exactly one time. you're using ^ outside the [] so it meens the beginning of the string. in your case none of these characters inside the [] can be found at the beginning of the string. then you use $ after the []. $ meens the end of the string. none of the characters in the [] matches at the end of the string. so this would be right:

ereg('_[0-9]{4}\.jpg$', $file_name);

so this meens: the beginning of the string doesn't matter, because we have not specified ^ at the beginning. there has to be an underscore, followed by 4 characters between 0 and 9, followed by an dot, followed by j, followd by p, followed by g. g has to be at the end of the string, because of the $. or you can use: ereg('^\.*_[0-9]{4}\.jpg$', $file_name);

this will meen : any characters at the beginning between 0 and unlimited times, then followed by an underscore, followed by 4 characters between 0 and 9, followed by a dot, followed by jpg. same as above though. But the * is a real performance eater so it could be slightly faster if you're using the first example.

How do I go about downloading the PEAR libraries and making use of them? I'm new to PHP and am looking for some high-quality libraries to make use of to help me write applications. I looked at PHPLib but I was put off because it uses PHP3. And would you recommend using PEAR or perhaps any other libraries?

Thanks Luke

P.s I sent this to the PEAR mailing list but got no reply.
