Subject: [PHP] Problem with array

Hello All,

I've got a form that creates checkboxes based on the number of rows on a
table. The user has to check some of the boxes and then click submit. The
boxes are named RG1, RG2, RG3, ....

If there are 4 checkboxes and the user selects them all or selects the
first, second and fourth, or the first third and fourth my code works. But
if the user selects the second, third and fourth (He does not checks the
first one) no information is recorded on my array.

Here's the code that I have to search the $HTTP_POST_VARS and then fill a
array variable called $RG.

function SearchRGs() {
global $HTTP_POST_VARS;
global $RGs;

// fills the array variable RGs with the values of checked checkboxes
that start with the name RG# (where # goes from 1,2,3,....).
// returns the qty of checked RGs and size of the $RGs array.

$index = count($HTTP_POST_VARS);
$count = 0;

for ($i=1; $i < $index; $i++) {
 if (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS["RG$i"])) {
 $RGs[] = $HTTP_POST_VARS["RG$i"];
 $count++;
 }
}

return $count;

}

Can anyone help me with this?

Why if I do not check the first checkbox on the form the array is not
filled.

Thank you,

Carlos Fernando.

Try some diagnostics to tell you what's going on

In the page you're submitting to try
Foreach($HTTP_POST_VARS as $key=>$value) echo("$key=>$value ");

Part of your problem may be that you're using the number of
form elements returned to control the for loop. It doesn't
really have any significance in this context.

Is there any reason why you're not naming the checkboxes RG[1], RG[2], etc.?
This would make everything much easier - you can then do ...

Foreach ($HTTP_POST_VARS["RG"] as $value) $RGs[] = $value

Hi,

this might be a silly question, but I really haven't used XML alot with PHP. I've parsed som XML, when I do xml_parse it outputs the html-codes.

I want to make a variable out of it.. I've tried $output = xml_parse();

I have copied these three lines from the php install.txt file into httpd.conf:

LoadModule php4_module c:/php/sapi/php4apache.dll AddModule mod_php4.c AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

and php4ts.dll is in winnt\system32. Apache freezes unless I comment out those lines. When I test php scripts from the command prompt inside the php dir. (C:\php) I see the correct output, so I know php is working (as is my install of php-gtk). Where have I "strayed from the path"?

this worked for my install of Apache 1.3.24 and PHP 4.1.2, so I'm not sure what's going on.

thanks for any and all help,

Hi, I am having a small problem with PHP/Windows. [config] Windows 2000 Server IIS 5 PHP 4.0.6 I have a server with a php.ini in the c:\winnt directory and a site running fine with that configuration. I need to set up a new site, using a different php.ini. The new site is set up in IIS but I cannot find a way to make PHP look to a different php.ini other than the one in c:\winnt. I have tried using the -c command line option in the app mappings section but to no avail. Here is what I have in the executable text box: C:\Inetpub\php\php.exe -c z:\Dir\With\Other\IniFile %s %s PHP pages execute fine but a page with phpinfo() shows that php is still reading the file from c:\winnt\php.ini Any ideas? Thanks in advance, Patrick.

attached mail follows:

Hi,

The -c option does not seem to work for me. I saw it in the manual and was the first thing I tried.

It just seems to get ignored - The php scripts that are supposed to be working under that directive work just fine... But they use the ini file from c:\winnt

Any other ideas?

Thanks,

sorry ;)

hit send by accident ;)

the command line for it is:

php.exe -c c:\anotherfolder\php.ini

or even:

php.exe -c c:\anotherfolder\pfp_for_iis.ini

etc etc...

hope this helps ;)

i use IIS5 also but at the moment only need one .ini...

i suggest looking at the above via Properties > Home Directory > Configuration

and edit the line for .php? I think that sould work.... lemme know ;)

I was trying to compile php command line and got some problem. Maybe some of you can help.

version: 4.1.2 I did: ./configure --with-ldap --with-oracle --with-oci8 --with-mysql=/usr/src/mysql-3.23.43-pc-linux-gnu-i686 --enable-track-vars --disable-debug --prefix=/usr/local/apache/php --with-config-file-path=/usr/local/apache/lib --with-gd

when tested, it gave: Failed loading /usr/local/apache/libexec/ZendOptimizer.so: /usr/local/apache/libexec/ZendOptimizer.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I couldn't find ZendOptimizer.so anywhere. Any clue?

Check out your php.ini file and look for some lines that read something along the lines of

zend_extension=/path/to/ZendOptimizer.so zend_optimizer.optimization_level=15

Then either:

a. Get rid of those lines; or b. Get the Zend Optimizer and put it some place where PHP can see it can modify the zend_extension line in your php.ini file accordingly.

For the sake of legibility you could always assign the contents of $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] to another variable before using it in the print statement:

$PHP_SELF = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];

print "<LI><A HREF='$PHP_SELF?letter=$chars[$cnt]'>";

Shouldn't be a problem security-wise as long as register_globals is off; Even if somebody tried to pass an arbitrary value to PHP_SELF in the query string, it would only show up in $_GET['PHP_SELF']. It also provides a quick way to bring pre- 4.1.2 scripts relying on the old global $PHP_SELF up to date.

I tried that already, it always returns true. The reason is because it will always return true since it is only deleting if the user exists. This means that the query will run and successfully complete. But if the user does not exist it still runs and completes successfully, but the user was not there. So how do I detect that situation.

You could always try preceeding it with a SELECT...

Hi,

this might be a silly question, but I really haven't used XML alot with PHP. I've parsed some XML, when I do xml_parse it outputs the html-codes.

I want to make a variable out of it, so I can write it to a file. I've tried $output = xml_parse();

For the second time in less than a week, the commercial Web service provider where I have four domains hosted has managed to break PHP. In particular, I get this message:

Warning: mail() is not supported in this PHP build

I'm not interested in what causes the PHP mail() function to become unavailable. My problem is that the mail() function -- or, more to the point, the ability to send e-mail -- is "mission critical." No mail; no work. No work; unhappy boss. You get the idea.

I'm looking for ideas on how I can defend against mail() failures. One idea I had would be to test

if(mail($to, $subj, $body, $headers) { /* report ok send */ } ELSE { /* do alternative send */ }

Any ideas of how that alternative send could work?

I do have an alternative service provider where I have access to PHP that works. Any ideas on the best way to redirect the $to, $subj, $body, $headers to a PHP script at the other domain and return some notification that the send did not report errors?

TIA,

Something like:

mysqladmin -u root create temp_db mysql -u root -e 'grant all access on temp_db to real_user' mysqldump -u real_user real_db | mysql -u real_user temp_db

and then when you're done:

mysqladmin -u root drop temp_db

obviously adding -p to those lines as appropriate.

But it's not going to be that fast with large databases, and you'll have to work out some scheme for dealing with multiple users each needing their own copy.

We don't know nearly enough about your project to really work out alternatives for you, but I bet there's a good one somewhere. Temp tables, shadow tables in the same database, something.

I would recommend adding the "--opt" option to the mysqldump command. These will amongst other things, drop tables on the destination db if they already exist ...

... and thus you can omit this and leave the temp_db in place ready for use next time.

Well, it's not trivial. Regular expressions is a whole complete language, entirely separate from PHP, with a lot to learn. Practice enough, though, and you'll start to see how you can do amazing things with it.

Also, I'd recommend using the Perl-style regex (preg_ rather than ereg_ functions) and reading 'man perlre' if it's installed on your system (someone can probably suggest a web location for that text).

What does your /i do at the end ???

Makes it case-insensitive, so "gif" and "GIF" are treated identically.

I wasn't paying that much attention. The /i is a preg thing. It's the same as changing from ereg to eregi.

Hi, This is more a SQL question that a php one, but here goes:

I have a table with 3 fields, Date, IP, ISP. Basically I have written some php to store the following in the table each time someone hits a page on my site. Now I want to display some info about the users currently on my site, but I want to try and do it with 1 SQL query.

Basically I want to display a count of how many unique IPs there are on my site from each ISP... for example 3 NTL 1 BT 5 Freeserve

but in each group there will be more than 1 entry for each user due to them causing a row in the table on each hit. I can't seem to group it together how I want with 1 query. The best I can do is count how many rows are from each IP (but this figure is too high since it doesn't take into account that the IPs must be unique). Here is my current SQL:

$sql = "SELECT ISP, COUNT(*) as total FROM track GROUP BY ISP ORDER BY total DESC";

I could make this work by doing some sorting in PHP once I get the data, but I would prefer to do it with SQL... Anyone know how to do what I want?

Thanks Andrew

It's a pretty lame page/site that amounts to someone whining about the fact that

1. The phpbb website looks good, therefore they must have crap code and 2. They have a lot of includes/requires/constants and if/else

If it's truly poor code, and the guy wants to criticize, then post some code samples and point out WHY it's bad.

Personally, I agree - I had to do a bit of work with someone else's phpbb site a few weeks ago and thought it was a horrible mishmash of code/html. But I'm not going to post a whole website about how bad it is unless without giving specific examples. :)

Although the first comment was not what I needed, I did find another built-in function that converts between any base, base_convert($number, $frombase, $tobase) worked wonderful for what I needed.

I'd recommend writing a wrapper around base_convert, naming it hex2bin and using that instead. base_convert() is way too expensive for this purpose (you know that any hex figure is translated to exactly four bits, so you don't need any actual conversion - just replacement). This is why I suggested the wrapper - you can change the code at any time if you see it's too time-consuming...

Perhaps you could use something a little more KISS- like

rawurldecode(chunk_split ( $hexstring, 2 , "%"))

not sure if it would be faster than base_convert or not, but it wouldn't be too hard to find out.

Hi people,

I know there is a lot of material about it. I´m installing PHP under Solaris 8 and obtain the message that gcc cannot create executables. I know that gcc has libraries that are not installed by default under Solaris. If I download a version of gcc newer and complete will I pass this problem? Can you recommend me a site with some instructions about doing that (I never had to install gcc)? Is a hard work?

Thanks in advance

Buon giorno, Emiliano,

Do you have root access to the system? If so, try downloading the gcc package from http://www.sunfreeware.com/. Installing it in package format should make everything work for you. Also make sure that your LD_LIBRARY_PATH contains the correct locations (such as /usr/local/bin, which it won't by default in Solaris).

Feel free to write back if you still run into problems.

Ciao, /bsh/

I'm having a hard time explaining what I'm trying to do, which is why I'm having a hard time finding anything online/in manuals...

My site serves a form for the user to fill in. User has been authenticated with a login and we're using PHP 4 sessions. When using Internet Explorer, the user can hit Ctrl-N and get a new window, but his session for that new window is still valid. He could then load up a local page and submit it to the target of my original form.

Is there some way of detecting that the submission came from a page that hadn't been served up by my application, but was instead sent in from some other "foreign" form?

Or maybe the question is - how can I kill off sessions if the user navigates away from the page that I sent him originally?

You can't (assuming you're dealing with someone halfway knowledgeable who is halfway determined to do it). Redesign your application so it doesn't matter. Perhaps time logins out quickly and/or require periodic re-authentication.

That doesn't help, that I can tell - when the form is copied the hidden value will come with it.

You could use it to allow each form to be submitted only once (change the random number each time, thus invalidating previous ones) but that will kill the back button and will still allow someone to submit a manipulated form once.

But the flaw in that is if the nasty user was determined, there's nothing to stop them from:

1) looking at the source of the legitimate page 2) grabbing the 'hidden' value 3) creating their own form along with that hidden value 4) opening a new window 5) loading their own form and submit away.

This random number, because it is being sent to the user is just as easy to forge as the rest of the fields on the form. The only thing you can do is check the refferer on the submitted page, but alas even this can be forged with enough technohow. Good luck!

The only fool proof method is is to have the application generate an image. The image will contain a random number or series of letters. The user must type these into a form field to continue. It's a password that only humans can read. It won't prevent an outside script from 'trying' to access the system.. but since the script can not read what is on the image then it has to try 50,000,000 keys until it finds the right one.

It works.

In addition to everything else discussed:

1. make sure the referring page (ie, the form) was as expected (ie, an address you trust). This may block a small % or users who's browser doesn't set a referrer string.

2. ensure that all values were submitted via $_POST, which will prevent the user from entering them directly into the URL

I assume you mean http:// and not http:\\.

$str = '<ul><li><a href="http://www.someaddress.com">SomeSite</a> This is a description of the site.</ul>'; preg_match('/href="(\S+)">(.+?)<\/a>(.+?)<\/ul>/', $str, $matches);

print "Address: {$matches[1]} Site: {$matches[2]} Description:{$matches[3]}";

Since the OP asked about runtime, there is also ini_set() <http://php.net/ini-set>.

Use .htaccess, setting register_globals at runtime will not have the desired affect.

Btw, I can't think of a reason why a script designed with register_globals = off would not work with it on. Which is why assuming register_globals = off will make your scripts more portable.

When I run this the first time, file.txt contains value of 30. Then I add 15 to it with following script and file now contains value of 45. I look at file.txt after write and it does indeed contain number 45. But when I run script 24 hours later via cron job, it still thinks file.txt is holding number 30. Is $file somehow retaining value of 30 and not getting new value of 45 when script runs second time? What is it called when this happens?

<?php

$file = file('/usr/home/xyz/file.txt'); //file.txt contains value of 30

$number = "15";

$newnumber = $file + $number; //$newnumber now is 45

$fp = fopen('/usr/home/xyz/file.txt','w'); fputs($fp,"$newnumber"); // write value 45 to file.txt fclose($fp);

Thanks

Hi, Is it possible to detect if a file is being called as an include or require?

ex: include("file.php") <-- file.php code can "detect" that is has been called as an include.

Thanks, Chris

attached mail follows:

Try this code (untested):

function selfAwareInclude($filename) { define($filename, true); include($filename); }

Inside your include file, make calls such as

if (defined($filename)) { // Do whatever }

Then use the selfAwareInclude() function instead of include(). You could do the same with require, etc.

The problem with this is you will loose the scope of your variables.

So $filename will not have access to anything from where the function is called...

Compare $PHP_SELF with __FILE__, maybe?

Or you could try something like this:

function isInclude ( $this_scripts_true_location ) { if ( $SCRIPT_FILENAME != $this_scripts_true_location ) { return TRUE; } else { return FALSE; } }
