I don't entirely understand. If your site is not dynamic, then what do you
need sessions for?

The sites are not dynamic, but the shopping cart /is/. The problem is,
if people don't have cookies on, when they return to the site to order
more products, they loose the SID that has been appended to the links
inside the cart, and thus loose the contents of their shopping cart.

Use standard HTTP authentication over SSL - that's the only other way.

You said you did not want to do 1 or 2. That only leaves you with HTTP Authentication. HTTP Authentication is really just like a cookie that can't be disabled when it comes down to it.

I think you are running into facts of life here. You can only keep track of people using a limited set of mechanisms (which Rasmus has listed).

Perhaps with cunning design you could use frames and JavaScript to handle this but it's outside the scope of PHP.

Could you explain how this could be accomplished, because I'm not understanding how to do it.

As I understand HTTP Authentication (correct me if I'm wrong), the user's computer still has to send a 'username/password' pair to perform the authentication. I can't see how this could be used to maintain session data.

But maybe my mind is just trapped in a rut. Please enlighten me.

No, it doesn't work at all. All sorts of people are behind proxies. Every AOL user, for example. All these people end up showing up as the same, or at least one of a pool of a few dozen ips. If you use this methods millions of users will end up sharing the same shopping cart. That's probably not a good idea.

The problem here is not where to store the session data. That's obvious. You store the session data on your server. The real problem is linking the session data (ie. the contents of a shopping cart) to a specific user so when that same user is surfing through your site, on every request you know which cart is his. And if he goes away and comes back later, you again can go find his cart and you know what is in it.

Ergo, therefore, if you are able to uniquely identify the user you have solved your session problem. HTTP Authentication does this brilliantly. The only difference between cookies and http auth is that with a cookie you send the remote user a unique identifier that is then sent back to you whenever that specific user visits your site. Because this happens automatically and people don't like that, some people turn this off. With HTTP authentication, instead of doing this automatically you have the user create a profile on your site where part of this will include a unique identifier and a password. Each time the user visits your site this information will be sent exactly like a cookie. Depending on how users configure their browsers they may have to log in at the beginning of a session although these days most browsers have these password managers that make this login procedure trivial.

Unless there's a firewall using NAT or a proxy cache involved. I know for a fact that our internal network only ever reports the address of our firewall. We run an Internet kiosk of sorts so if two or three people hit your site from inside our firewall they will all look like the same person.

We're not alone in doing this sort of thing.

What's wrong with;

session_register( "objProfile" ); $objProfile = new Profile('1', 'John', 'Doe');

> This is what my session file looks like: > !SESSION|ProfileObj|O:7:"profile":5:s:7:"staffId";s:1:"1";s:9:"firstName";s >: 5:"John";s:8:"lastName";s:6:"Doe";}

Out of interest, does anyone know what the SESSION variable is and why it's not set?

Yes, include the class declaration on every page where you wish to use the object i.e. require "profile.class.php" (and use session_start() on every page of course).

I've recently upgraded from 4.1.2 to 4.2.0. And of course my script has stopped working. I know a lot with the globals has changed, but to be honest, I am not sure how or why. Can anyone give me an initial lead as to what I should look for first?

I know I use the following elements:

I can't believe it is $PHP_SELF. What should I be wary of when using PHP Environment vars like: $_SERVER["PATH_TRANSLATED"]

Thanks for the link. Everything there makes sense, and I'm not sure if I need to turn register_globals on to make this work. Is there a way to get either:

$_SERVER["PATH_TRANSLATED"] Or $HTTP_SERVER_VARS["SCRIPT_FILENAME"] (perhaps??)

Without turning register_globals on? Oh, and I am doing this from within a class. I'm guessing I could do it outside of the class and pass it into the constructor, but I'd prefer to just get it inside the constructor if possible... Essentially I am just trying to find out from whereon the filesystem the script is being called initially.

Thanks for the patience and help. Wes

Try it. $_SERVER[...] will work fine inside your class.

Hi, I'm newbie in php and i would like to clearly understand how can i use: LENGTH in string fgets ( int fp [, int length])

"Returns a string of up to length - 1 bytes read from the file pointed to by fp. Reading ends when length - 1 bytes have been read, on a newline (which is included in the return value), or on EOF (whichever comes first). If no length is specified, the length defaults to 1k, or 1024 bytes."

-Can i have an example of the differents way for reading file with fgets according to the differentes values of "length "? -why '4096' is used as length for reading a file line by line ?

$fd = fopen ("/tmp/inputfile.txt", "r"); while (!feof ($fd)) { $buffer = fgets($fd, 4096); echo $buffer; } fclose ($fd);

Is this any max for one line??

TIA.

Hi All:

Many of my pages has similar lines of code that I would like to group and have it inserted when required:

if ($HTTP_SESSION_VARS[first_name]){ $header='...'; .... } else { $header='...'; };

I placed the code in separate file and tried implode but I think I am doing something wrong.

How can I make it in some type of module and insert it in php code when required?

Thanks Paul

You should look at include() or require()

I retrieve text with accented characters from a textarea and prepare the message headers using some user-defined functions and send it using the php mail() function. The accented characters are kept nicely Here's the importants headers i'm receiving from this message Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Question #1: how come using 7bit as encoding my accented characters aren't altered ? shouldn't I be using quoted-printable or 8bit?)

The real problem is below tough:

I'm assigning a text message with accented characters to a variable, again preparing the message headers with functions and sending it with mail(). The ONLY difference with the previous explanation is the text is directly inserted in a variable (not coming from a textarea). receiving same headers: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

BUT this time the accented characters are loss... they're replaced with others ascii code...

Question #2: What's wrong ? Both emails are following the same network path from the dest->smtp's->mailbox ...

I tried switching the transfer-encoding to quoted-printable but it didn't appear in the message headers- as if my headers were wrong and lost during the route to my mailbox....

(note: I'm using iso-8859-1 as the charset for the webpage of the textarea)

Well if his normal page is 100k and he can cut the size down to 50k with gzip then instead of having a monthly transfer of 100 GB for example, he would only be paying for 50 GB. Seems like it's useful for extremely large sites.

Why do you think this is useful to you? I remember reading an article on this and its conclusion was that zipping the output was only beneficial for large data between fast computers over a slow pipe. You have to look at who your clients are and if it's beneficial to have their machine use up extra time (processing power) unzipping things or not. Also, you're using more processing time on your computer having to do the zipping for every request, too.

Yes, it can be useful. I don't dispute that. All I'm saying is that it's not the "save-all" or whatever. Look at how much traffic it's going to save you, look at how much extra processing power you're taking from your CPU, look at the connections and computers of your clients, etc. Maybe it's not that big of a deal, but I just don't want some newbie seeing this and thinking that it's going to be the answer to all of their problems. I may even look into it for a couple large pages that I have. You can control it on a page-by-page basis, right?

I've seen real-life examples of 100k pages going down to around 30k, considering that decrease in size, when you remember that CPU time is relatively cheap compared to bandwidth, it's worth the processing overhead in my opinion.

Small (<20k) pages probably aren't worth it, for anything larger then as it's been mentioned, even if visitors have no idea the pages are smaller, if they load in 1/3 of the time it's useful, wanted, and definitely cool.

Just remember that not every browser understands gzip compression, but also remember that a probably larger percentage of visitors have ECMAScript (JavaScript) switched off. You takes your chances, you makes your choice...

Hi John

You *can* control on a a page-by-page basis as i'm doing now. I have some pages admin pages that are getting a lot of hits and i'm using the compression to reduce them from 52K to 7K and 153K to 17K!

The majority of the users are accessing via 56K modem/ISDN so i'm willing to trade a tiny bit of cpu usage on a lightly loaded machine and save a lot of bandwidth in the process.

Your customers may have access to T1 lines so won't see the difference, however my 56K customers noticed the difference without me even telling them about it.

Regards

Girish

No, that's not a problem either!

<snip from manual> Before ob_gzhandler() actually sends compressed data, it determines what type of content encoding the browser will accept ("gzip", "deflate" or none at all) and will return it's output accordingly. All browsers are supported since it's up to the browser to send the correct header saying that it accepts compressed web pages. </snip from manual>

attached mail follows:

unregistered variable message means that you're doing something like:

if($address == "foo") { // something }

if $address isn't set, then it's an unregistered var.

this *might* solve it:

if(isset($address)) { if($address == "foo") { // do something } }

the difference between the two OS's isn't the OS, it's prolly the config file, and how heavy the error reporting is, so, one option would be to modify the PC's config file so that error reporting is toned down... another would be to look at the error_reporting() function, which can customise the error level on a per-script basis.

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.error-reporting.php

however, it does sound like your POST vars aren't getting through...

you could try $_POST['varname'] on one of the vars, to see if you still get "unregistered var" errors for that var

My question will probably expose my woeful lack understanding of security breaches, but perhaps someone can enlighten me.

On my site, registered members will be allowed to upload jpg/jpeg pictures. I'm concerned about possible security problems. First, is there a way to ensure that a picture (and not some other malicious stuff) has been uploaded?

Aside from checking the mime type info associated with the file, is there any way of verifying what's in the file that has been uploaded? (I'm using Linux LM8.2) Would it be possible to fake info to fool this check? Would verification checks for html/scripts/commands be of any use?

Secondly, since the file in question is already uploaded and saved to disk in /tmp or wherever, wouldn't any verification scheme be sort of, 'after-the-fact'?

I would appreciate any input, suggestions, or ideas on what to do here. Am I being overly-paranoid about this, or do I have legitimate security concern.

Have a look at the getimagesize() function. This function looks at the actual file data, not the mime type nor the file's extension but the data itself and tells you what sort of image file it is.

And no, it wouldn't really be after the fact because because stores the file with a temporary random filename in /tmp ensuring not to overwrite anything that is already there. It is then your job to perform the check and copy the file to some appropriate directory on your server. If you don't do anything with the file, PHP will automatically delete it at the end of the request.

Firstly I would like to say that this is NOT a request for help, but rather the answer I found to the question I had asked more then a week ago, but got no response. From the lack of response I would assume that a) nobody cared that I had a problem, or b) that nobody knew the answer... I hope there were many less a)'s then b)'s but I thank everyone who did take the time to at least read my request for help. I'm posting what i found for the people who do their best to help, but don't always know all of the answers (hey, who does?!)

My problem was with accessing the information awaiting me in sockets

heres the quick and dirty (the rest is after the code)

<?php // NOTE: THIS IS A WORKING SCRIPT YOU CAN TEST

function return_buffer($fp) { // get all the data from the socket buffer while ( $data = fgets($fp, 9999) ) { $return[]=$data; } return($return); }

// lets START establishing a connection to an FTP site...

$host='ftp.cdrom.com';; $port=21; $user='anonymous'; $pass='anonymouse-mail.com';

// actually initiate the connection $fp=fsockopen($host, $port, $est, $eno); socket_set_blocking($fp, 1); // make fgets() wait for data socket_set_timeout($fp, 1, 0); // set fgets() timeout delay

$banner=return_buffer($fp);

// send username fputs($fp, 'user '.$user.chr(10)); // get response $user_resp=return_buffer($fp);

// send password fputs($fp, 'pass '.$pass.chr(10)); // get response $pass_resp=return_buffer($fp);

// log off fputs($fp, 'quit'.chr(10).'bye'.chr(10)); // get response (usually nothing) $quit_resp=return_buffer($fp);

// close the socket (if it's still open) fclose($fp);

// echo our data display($banner); display($user_resp); display($pass_resp); display($quit_resp);

The above code DOES work, to some extent... ONLY the banner will be received and echoed.... after much research, and brute force testing i found that php keeps the timeout status on the socket. which causes all subsequent fgets() functions to do nothing at all (basically php considerer's the socket to be at its EOF) you can remedy this by placing another "socket_set_timeout($fp, 1, 0);" in the script, but just after the while loop in the return_buffer function... this will reset the timeout status on the socket each time it's read from... the resulting function (coded below) will allow the script to do precisely as it was intended to do... log in, get all the data associated with logging in, and then logging out...

function return_buffer($fp) { // get all the data from the socket buffer while ( $data = fgets($fp, 9999) ) { $return[]=$data; } socket_set_timeout($fp, 1, 0); return($return); }

Thanks again, and Cheers! Replies, comments, concerns welcome

Dear Folks,

I am trying to set up Suse Linux Server with sybase and PHP. While configuring my computer with these software I am getting some problem.

Actually, I have done following steps:

- first of all I Installed the SuSE 7.0 Linux (then apache is installed by default) - then Sybase-ase-11.0.3.3-2 is installed with sybase-CT - then I stopped the apache server and installed PHP from its tar PHP-4.0.4pl1 using following command tar -xvf php-4.0.4pl1.tar

and then configured by using this command ./configure --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs --with-sybase-ct=/opt/sybase

till this point apache works but after using Make and Make Install Command, apache does not work I am not getting where I am wrong

Please guide me friends.

Hi!

I've recently upgraded to 4.2.1, but i have gotten a lot of problems with it.

First of all my pbpBB 2.0 forums stopped working (http://utge.dyndns.org/phpbb2/index.php). When you try to log in i get an error, malfomed header request? (im not on the actual machine now :)).

I also have problems with logins to my site (jaggu.org).

After messing a lot to get sessions working again, I have tracked down the consisten problem to the Header () function. A comment in the manual says "" should be put in front of all function calls before header(). I tried that, to no use.

So my question is, why has that changed, and what do we do now to authenticate users and redirect them to anothe page? And what the hell is this "" thingy, i cant see to find anything on it in the manual, and search doesnt work for chars like that.

I hope you guys can clarify this for me.

Sincerely

Do they use variables straight up, rather than via the new superglobals such as $_POST? Simple solution, change your php.ini to have register_globals = on.

I guess somewhere, some text is being sent out to the browser before the header() functions are being called. Perhaps due to a different level of error reporting in your new php.ini setup?

The represses error messages. For example: mail('', 'subject', 'body'); will produce an error message, that the to address is bad, while mail('', 'subject', 'body'); will silently fail.

Rather than doing that, it's better to write your code so that there won't be error messages in the first place.

Not only that: if you are running a production server, you will probably want to log your error messages to a file (or syslog, or whatever), instead of printing them. So 'display_errors' should be off. If that is the case, you don't need to use anymore, because there will be no HTML output even in case of problems. The advantage of this is that you can use the exact same code on a development server (with display_errors = on) and a production server.

That is all well, but if php 4.2.1 interprets any output (as errors not only screen errors) as something that is sent before a header in a redirect, there is no other way (that i'm aware of) around it.

Like this:

$user=$Session["user"];

if(!$Authorized) { header ("Location: http://jaggu.org"); } this will not work, you have to write: $user=$Session["user"];

if(!$Authorized) { header ("Location: http://jaggu.org"); }

To actually get the redirect.

On http://jaggu.org/info.php, you can see that display_errors = off

In any case, I think you are onto something. I will try to narrow down logging, to see if that might be the problem.

Thanks for helping!

First this is not a 2d array it is a single d array each element of which is another array. If you search the array for a value you won't find it as each element is an array. $layerDes[1][0] is not an element of $layerDes it is an element of the array $layerDes[1].

As far as I know there is no built in way to search down this tree. I think you'll need To walk the array and check the first element of each e.g.

Foreach($layerDes as $count=>$array) { if ($array[0] == $searchstring) { $key = $count; break; } }

You're trying to copy something into the directory "/images". Does the webserver have permissions to do so?

It might be "= =" which should be "==". If not, try:

$timespread =array (0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0); if ($time == "21") { echo "before:".$timespread[22]."<b>" ; $timespread[22]=($timespread[22]+1); echo "after:".$timespread[22]."<b>" ; } else { echo "time is not 21" ; }

Then you can at least establish where things go wrong.

If I // $time=="21" the count goes up by 1 so it's not recognizing the 21.

Any ideas

Well it works just fine for me :)

PHP 4.2.0 / Apache 2.0.36 / FreeBSD 4.5

DOM/XML enabled libxml Version 2.4.21 HTML Support enabled XPath Support enabled XPointer Support enabled

As you can see, I'm using a later version of libxml than you are - maybe that's the problem. I am also forced to use the old functions - maybe the new names only apply in PHP 4.3.0+?

If you need any more info:

Hi! Is there any way of decomposing an integer into it's constituent bytes so that a new byte order can be created? tia JohnH

Hi,

I want to know if the user is connected on a secure socket and have two problems:

1. My Apache (Stronghold), variables are not turning up in $_SERVER or $HTTP_SERVER_VARS although they are in $GLOBALS e.g. I have $GLOBALS[SERVER_PORT] but not $_SERVER[SERVER_PORT]. This is with track vars and register globals both on. It seems I have to rely on the $GLOBALS value and be careful with variables_order.

2. As well as $SERVER_PORT, I also get $HTTPS, but only if there it is an HTTPS connect i.e. on a secure connect, $HTTPS == 'on', but on an insecure connect it is not set. This makes it easy to spoof even with variables_order set to ECGPS. I could just use $SERVER_PORT, which is always set and thus not so easily spoofed but then I have to worry if the secure port changes.

Any suggestions?

George
