Subject: [PHP] Header URL question

I wanted to return to a specific page in a small web app I am writing, which
is based on a variable for each individual record. I just tried

header("Location: customer.php?" . $btn . ""); exit;

and although syntactically correct it did not work. I am going to try a
couple of other things but I wanted to see if any of you had thoughts on
this.

HAGW!

Hi there,

To work on some scripts, I have install PHP 4.02 on a IIS 5.1 server. (on my own XP machine) I have setuped PHP following install.txt procedure.

When I try to run my scripts they works fine exept for the variables results that are not displayed. I have upload this script on my web site and all is working fine. So I assume there is a misconfiguration on my PHP.ini or a missing extension or .....

Thanks for your help.

It also has support for snippits, or a code library that you can add, edit or delete. Saves alot of time in re-using code. I definately recommend it, not only for that reason for but for the code debugging options available. HTH Jas

So how do I affect the local copies of the variables. The global() doesn't seem to work. Should I take everything out of the function and just use if statements?

-----Original Message----- From: Tim Ward [mailto:Tim.wardstivesdirect.com] Sent: Friday, June 14, 2002 3:46 AM To: pperryinter-design.net; Tim Ward; Martin Towell; Tom Rogers; Php Subject: RE: [PHP] beginner in PHP

You're insetting the variables within the chout() function only This has no effect on the local copies as they are not in scope here. You have successfully destroyed the session so when you refresh they are unset.

What I do with sessions is keep them all within a session array so you can then destroy the session locally by unsetting that array. If I have a function that I want to change session variables at all I make it take the session in as a parameter and pass it back as the return value.

Hello,

I'm having a hard time getting expat to parse parameter entities and I'm wondering if any one tried this before (general entities work fine)

sample xml: -------------------------------------------- <?xml version='1.0'?> <!DOCTYPE alfs [ <!ENTITY % common_entities SYSTEM "00-entities-00"> %common_entities; ]> ..... ---------------------------------------------

as the name suggests, the file "00-entities-00" contains common general entities shared between multiple .xml's Expat's external_entity_ref_handler doesn't catch parameter entities, but I'm not even sure it should.

How should I parse this ?

Any hints appreciated Pawel

Hi,

Don't know if this is possible but is there a way to create a single variable (in my case, a two dimensional array) that is global to my site? This is regardless of which page is initially loaded BUT I need to have it empty first time in.

I am trying to implement a 'stack' feature where I can place/remove information into/out of the array.

Thanks, Don

attached mail follows:

I don't think this is possible to setup a global way you're thinking, but I do believe that you can still accomplish the effect you're looking for. First of all, exactly what kind of information will you be storing in the array? You say it needs to be empty the 'first time in'. Does that mean per user? -Kevin

I've been doing the following sending personalized mail to 600+ recipients, so far without any signs of discomfort anywhere:

set_time_limit($total_rows * 1); // up the script timeout 1 second per email

BTW, I use qmail; not sendmail. As I've never used sendmail, I don't know if this is part of your problem or not. I'm guessing a bit, but based on 600+ emails, I'd say that the script itself takes about 10-15 seconds; the mail to be delivered takes a bit longer, perhaps another minute or two.

You're using something like mysql_fetch_array and not querying the db 120 times I hope.

go through the your MTA's logs (long and painful process)

The time your MTA takes to process the emails has nothing to do with this. 120 calls to mail() should not time out, maybe you have a complicated regexp for fixing that name in the emails what's the body of your while() loop ?

putting 120 email addresses in one bcc will surely get your email classified as spam

you could try adding a column in your db that will reflect the last time you've sent an email to that person. Then you could just append "LIMIT 40" to your select query, but updating the column requires a separate query (1 update per email if you want to know exactly how got the email and who didn't)

nothing too complex at all:

while($myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { $to = $myrow["email"]; $name = $myrow["name"]; $this_message = eregi_replace('#name#',$name,$message); $this_message = stripslashes($this_message); $this_message .= $email_footer; $headers = "From: mailinglist{$domain_name}"; mail($to, $subject, $this_message.$email_footer, $headers); }

I think i'll write a simple log file for each send-out

Based on everyone's advice, I'm going to break the sending process into batches of 10 or 20 rows using a redirect, encorporate a log (so that I can remove bad address' that may slow it down), and then see where to go from there.

Thanks for everyone's help.

You can run PHP as a module / extension for apache or let Apache load and run the php.exe program for each php file. Loading and running the program in quick succession strains the system somewht but the extension is always loaded and is just used when needed - much faster and efficient.

Windows / PHP is fine for development work but I would never put a production site on a Windows box (With all due apologies to you Windows fans). Put your site on a *nix box with apache its a heck of a lot faster and a heck of a lot more stable and a heck of a lot easier to configure and upgrade.

Just my 2 cents

The last test I did was to put a custom built (by me) box dual 1.2G P4's 36G Raid 5 all on 7200RPM spindles and 2GB ram running WIN 2000 Server with all the back office toys vs. an old 133M Pentium, 1.2G 256Meg garbage box I had in the basement running BSDi Unix with squid caching. The garbage box was 8 times faster. Look I'm not out to bash Microsoft but every good carpenter has more than one tool in his box and knows which one to use for which job.

It's all very well saying that, but have you got any evidence to back those comments up? With the arrival of Win2k, the win32 platform has become a lot more stable and IMHO is now on a par with the '*nix' platform. As far as how easy they are to configure and upgrade, it depends where you're coming from. But for a complete beginner, IIS beats the competition hands down.

The speed issue is a tricky one. In another email you say...

That's the only benchmark you have? Not very conclusive is it. How did you measure the speed? What were you requesting of the server? Was it under load? Were both servers under exactly the same conditions? You can't possibly expect us to accept that as definitive proof that the '*nix' platform is faster.

The only benchmark I would accept as definitive proof is one using identical hardware and where each server has been tuned by an Apache/IIS expert as appropriate. Each server must be hit by the same test script using the same network connection which must also be in controlled conditions (i.e. a dedicated connection).

> Even Microsoft uses Unix for their Web Servers.

Actually their main site is served by IIS 5 on Win2k (http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/graph/?mode_u=off&mode_w=on&site=www.microsoft.com). I know that they do use other platforms for other servers, but as far as I can tell, they are providing minor services compared to the IIS servers. But do correct me if I'm wrong.

An opinion was requested, and I gave it.

<flame>

I will make a few pointed comments and then I will stop wasting my time and the time of the others on this list.

1) If you do not know why Unix and its various derivatives are a better, meaning more flexible, more secure, faster, and more stable, then you probably don't know much about Unix.

2) I don't consider any Windows platform stable for commercial serving needs. I've had Unix boxes run continuously for over 3 years some as many as 5 and only one time was the crash caused by the operating system. Want to tell me how many times you've seen the "blue screen of death" on a Windows box.

3) Unix is faster for two main reasons - it has a real file system and it doesn't have all GUI overhead cluttering up CPU/Disk/Bus resources. While the GUI if a great feature on development boxes and workstations its a complete waste of resources on a server.

4) If all you need to do is design web sites Win 2000 (don't use the FAT32 file system) / apache ( not 2.x) and PHP / Pearl / cgi is OK. But if you want to be a successful webmaster and provide your clients / bosses / end users with the best possible service / speed and uptime - learn and use Unix.

5) If you want to learn how to configure the hardware - I'll teach you that too. Just contact me off list.

Nuff said.

I am using WinNT, IIS and PHP 4.0.6.

Here is the part of my code.

$to = $HTTP_POST_VARS["to_address"]; $from = $HTTP_POST_VARS["from_address"]; $cc = $HTTP_POST_VARS["cc_address"]; $bcc = $HTTP_POST_VARS["bcc_address"]; $subject = $HTTP_POST_VARS["subject"]; $message = $HTTP_POST_VARS["message"]; $header .= "From: my_addresswcom.com\r\n";

The mail function sends the message to the addresses in the first parameter, so you need to specify all the users you want the message to go to in $to.

PS. I (and I'm sure there are others) would prefer it if you could create a new thread for a new topic. It makes things a lot easier to follow.

Take a look at http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php#AEN39855 for ways of doing complex mails.. You can indeed do CC's and BCC's you just add them in the header area. Study the example, it works beautifully and will do everything you stated.

Plus there are classes out there that will allow you to do everything you could possibly ever want to do with email.. So take a look on google if you want to get into multi part messages, attachments, html, etc etc.

Currently, you are ucwords-ing an empty string. That being said, I'm not sure what you are trying to do anyway. ucwords() upper-cases the first letter of words in a string. (http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ucwords.php)

such as:

$string = "this is a test"; $newstring = ucwords($string); echo $newstring // This Is A Test

You pass a string to the function and it returns a string with each word starting with an uppercase.

$string = "hello world";

John, Dan & All,

Thanks for your response, perhaps if I tell you more of the story then it'll make more sense. I'm afraid I seem to have an ability for asking cryptic questions.

Below is the code I'm using, it is meant to check for a list of between 10 and 50 words in a table then return the key of the words found, for the words not in the table they should be added to the table.

It seems to work fine, but in a effort to make the code more efficient I realised that at present I'm walking through a lot of the recordset for each keyword. But that the majority of the recordset would be in the same order as the keywords. So if I can add a little extra code that says if the next record in the recordset is not the word I'm trying to find then walk through the recordset, if you reach the end then start at the beginning and go down-to the initial row. This should confirm that the word is not in the recordset and so needs to be added, but leave the recordset in the correct place to check the next word.

However to do this I thought initialy I would need to identify the row the recordset was presently at. However now I understand I need to push the recordset into an array then use this array to loop through finding the key's and the words that need to be added. However saying it and coding it seem to be two completely different things, can anyone help me getting started? Hope this makes some sense? If you have any other comments on the code to improve it or good coding practice I would appreciate your comments as I'm still new to this.

Thanks

Zac

Code:

#--create select statement for getting keywords from table $fndWrds = ''; foreach($kywrd as $val) { $fndWrds .= "wrd = '$val' OR "; }

#-- add test word to get a result regardless $fndWrds .= "wrd = 'test'";

#-- get present keywords from db $dbKy = mysql_query("SELECT ky, wrd FROM ".$site_no."kywrdInd WHERE $fndWrds;");

#--create kywrd index array for index to be used in update value list $indx = array();

#--create update value lists to later add record into lookup table $vlst = '';

foreach($kywrd as $key => $val) { $fnd = 0; While ($kyRw = mysql_fetch_array($dbKy)) { if($kyRw['wrd'] == $val) { $fnd = 1; $indx[$key] = $kyRw['ky']; break 1; } } #-- reset pointer of db array back to begining mysql_data_seek($dbKy, 0);

#-- if not in db then add word to db then set index if($fnd == 0) { if(! mysql_query("INSERT INTO ".$site_no."kywrdInd (wrd) values ('".$val."');")) echo 'Word not added'; $indx[$key] = mysql_insert_id(); }

So you just want to insert a bunch of words into the table if they aren't there already? Why not make the column unique and just insert them. Ignore the warnings about duplicates...

Does anyone have a good function for parsing a search string into SQL? I know it will depend on the name of the field and table I'm searching through. Anything close will be helpful. An example search string would be:

beer AND pizza NOT anchovies

and the resulting search string would be

select ID, Title from Products where Title like '%beer%' AND Title like '%pizza%' AND Title NOT LIKE '%anchovies%';

Another example search string would be:

beer OR pizza AND movies

Anywone, I've been working on an interface to IRC services for a webpage. Ideally I'd like the webpage to stay connected to the network when it's in use. pfsockopen(...) seemed to do just the thing I needed. Open a connection, and don't close it when finished.... great... but it seems you can't continue use of that connection in a subsequent script. Either I'm missing something obvious that allows you to do this, or I've missed the point pfsockopen completely.

Any help or information greatly appreciated.

Hi,

My session variables won't persist, could someone help me with this problem? I spent all day trying to figure out what is wrong, and I still don't know why I couldn't get it to work. Here is an example script: <? session_id(); session_start(); header("Pragma: no-cache"); header("Refresh: 2"); $sID=session_id(); echo "session id: $sID<br>"; echo "session var: ".$_SESSION["var"]."<br>";

fnB(); function fnA(){ $_SESSION["var"]=1; } function fnB(){ if(isset($_SESSION["var"])){ echo "session var is set...<br>"; } else{ echo "session var is not set...<br>"; fnA(); echo $_SESSION["var"]; } } ?>

Here is the out put from this script: " session id: ee030ac6e15ea2c01e1dd4fe40f3ab30 session var: session var is not set... 1 " The session ID is the same for a given session, that means the server knows its the same session. And since I get the value "1" each time, I can see that the $_SESSION["var"] is a global variable with a value of "1". But it seems that once the script is finished, this variable runs out of scope! A session variable should persist for the duration of the session. It should not run out of scope like this. Could someone with more experience tell me what am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance.

Your code looks ok so I'm guessing that you are just refreshing this page to see if the session variables persist. If that is the case then of course you're not seeing them persist. In order for the page to import the current session it must know what the session id is. Try putting a link on that page that links to the same page. Click on the link and you should find that the session variable now persists.

I hope this will help clear up any confusion.

Go here: http://www.devserver.org/test/session.php and click on the link.

This is the code...

<?php session_start(); $sID=session_id(); echo "session id: $sID<br>"; echo "session var: ".$_SESSION["var"]."<br>"; fnB(); function fnA(){ $_SESSION["var"]=1; } function fnB(){ if(isset($_SESSION["var"])){ echo "session var is set...<br>"; } else{ echo "session var is not set...<br>"; fnA(); echo $_SESSION["var"]; } } print '<br><br><a href="'.$_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'].'">reload page</a>'; ?>

It works. If this code doesn't work for you then it's something wrong with your server configuration.

Do you get any errors? Add the following line immediately before the call to session_start()...

error_reporting (E_ALL);

My guess is that it's failing to create the session, but if your error reporting is too low you may not be told about it.

Is the server you are using public? Can you post the URL so we can take a look?

Hi Stuart,

Thanks. I added error_reporting (E_ALL); and it gave me the following error msg: "Warning: Undefined index: var in c:\program files\apache group\apache\htdocs\php\superstock\ssi\valuecalc\valuescreen\testsess.php on line 6"

Here is line 6: echo "session var: ".$_SESSION["var"]."<br>";

Apparently, there is no session variable! Does that mean the session was not created? I thought the session is created if I get the same session ID each time I reload the page.

Zlutarch

P.S. I wish I could post the server address, but its on a private network. Only computers on the intra net have access to the server. I will see what I can do.

It's saying that there is no variable named var stored in the session. I'm at a loss. I can't see any reason why it's not working. What URL does the link in your page go to? It should have a query string on it. Does it?

With all due respect, I think there's a reason that /tmp is the default session.save_path value in php.ini. /tmp is temp. It's where temporary things go.

Saying "you shouldn't use that" is pretty much saying "Hey PHP Development Group, you've done this wrong for 2 years". If you don't want to write your session files to /tmp, then don't. But please don't say that it's wrong to do so. That's not the answer to the guy's particular problem.

I was referring to strict Unix directory naming conventions. /tmp is the equivalent of root/tmp and no sysadmin wants you writing to his /tmp directory. In fact you should not be allowed to write to /tmp. While I have not checked this, I have the feeling that PHP takes care of this for you. If you are creating a subdirectory, say for data, on your web site the Unix path may be something like /websites/yoursitename/htdocs/subdirectory.

Since your default directory would be /websites/yoursitename/htdocs to get to /websites/yoursitename/htdocs/subdirectory you should use ./subdirectory which means "start in my default directory and go down one level to subdirectory.

I'm sorry if this sounds critical, but I have found that many of the problem posted to this list are OS based, and I urge the members to learn both the operating system that they do their development on and the box where your site is hosted. The use of OS standard directories such as /tmp or /etc are bad form in Unix and make error log analysis difficult at best

I'm not sure what sysadmins you are talking about, but /tmp is typically a world-writable directory.

Also, there is no such "strict" Unix naming convention. The directory /tmp is always /tmp, so matter how "lenient" you want to be. There is simply a difference between relative paths and absolute paths.

No, everything in PHP happen on the server, BEFORE it gets to the browser. The browser only sees plain HTML code.

So, page refreshing can be done client-side with JavaScript or META refresh.

Opening a new window can be done in HTML with <A HREF="blah.php" target="_blank">click</a>, or with a javascript pop-up.

You can redirect the browser to a different URL *IF* you haven't sent anything to the browser yet (ie, before <DOCTYPE...> or <HTML>) using PHP's header function (header("Location: blah2.php")).

Hi,

I am working on a movie database I have two database that I am calling from but the problem I am having when I ask it to go and fetch all the movies with the same title, it stops and only shows one.

Here is a basic layout...

if($videoid) {

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM library WHERE videoid=$videoid",$db);

$myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result);

// The Myrows

$title = $myrow[title]; $videoid = $myrow[videoid]; $catergory = $myrow[catergory]; $appraisal = $myrow[appraisal];

// Some where here it's not working.....

$sql = "SELECT concat_ws(' ', fname, lname)as actor FROM actormovie WHERE title = '$title' ORDER by lname"; $result = mysql_query($sql); print $sql;

$actor = ""; while ($myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { $actor = $myrow[actor]; $actor .= "<A HREF=''>" . $actor . "</A><BR>\n";

}

What am I doing wrong? It only show one record and it show more.

you need to put your $myrow in a while loop:

while ($myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {

$title = $myrow[title]; $videoid = $myrow[videoid]; $catergory = $myrow[catergory]; $appraisal = $myrow[appraisal];

// blah blah blah everything else }

Ok. Go to this link...

http://www.magidesign.com/movielist.php and select "12 Monkeys" You will see that only picked one actor...

It should have pick four

I know that the problem is some where in this statement...

$sql = "SELECT concat_ws(' ', fname, lname)as actor FROM actormovie WHERE title = '$title' ORDER by lname";

$result = mysql_query($sql);

$actor = ""; while ($myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { $actor = $myrow[actor]; $actor .= "<A HREF=''>" . $actor . "</A><BR>\n"; }

Only thing is I am brain dead and can't see it...

Thanks for the help...

I'm trying to make sure the referer is right on certain pages. I know the variable and everything, but it gets annoying to have to check wth www., without www., with urlencode(), and with rawurlencode(). If there an easier way?

attached mail follows:

This depends on what you mean by "right," of course, but remember that the referer (sic) is just a string. You can use any string manupulation functions to help you test your string, such as searching for substrings, matching patterns with regular expressions, etc.

If you need more specific advice, you'll need to give some examples.

Hello Rosen, You can try with visudo command in linux. For example if you want to give permission to user1 then give shutdown permission to that user using visudo command. you have to edit something like username ALL=(ALL) ALL Here the above user is assigned with all rights.When the above said user tries any commands then that command should starts with sudo.for example prompt # sudo shutdown.

Hope this will help you.Let me know if you have any problem.

Thanks, but the idea is another user only to start and shutdown the server.

Any ideas ?

Thanks, Rosen

I have a site with logins. I am planning to recode logins soon (right now the username and password are stored in cookies with no encoding). In your opinion, which of these is a better idea: 1. Storing in two cookies with md5 encoding for the password 2. Use sessions 3. Store logins in a database, and put an id from there into a cookie

attached mail follows:

Hello Leif, My opinion is 1.First do md5 encoding for passwords. 2.Store the username and encoded passwords in database as well as in two cookies. Note : But storing the passwords in a cookie is a security issue.

I would suggest you use a DB for the logins and use the id

Avoid using cookies use sessions that way u have nothing on the client end
