Is there a way to read a FORM varaiable into PHP variable. The kicker here
is the form variable is in a framed window.
Example, I have my main page in a 2 part frame (90%/10%). The bottom 10%
has a form on it called 'fileform' with one text box called filevalue
-- source snippit --
<FORM METHOD=POST NAME="fileform">
<input type="text" name="filevalue" readonly maxlength=11 size=11>
</FORM>
-- end snippit --
Now inside the 90% window, I have ANOTHER frameset (broken into 3 parts.. a
left menu bar, a bottom instructional bar, and a main window. I NEED the
main window to grab the value from the 'fileform.filevalue' and return it to
a PHP variable.
Any ideas????
Dave
attached mail follows:
What do you mean, "return it to a php variable"?
The closest I can come to understanding your question is that you want
the form input in your bottom frame to be sent to another frame in your
top window for submission.
If that's any place close to correct, you need a javascript solution. In
any case, it won't/can't become a "php variable" until it is sent back
to the server. So why not submit the form from your bottom frame with a
target of the frame that you need the variable in and refresh that
frame?

You wan to submit the form and display the results in another frame?
What is you FORM action above?
I assume some PHP program.
You have to submit the form, PHP is server side.
You want the results to go to a certain frame window.
I have no idea, maybe the TARGET="frame window name" attribute as part of your FORM.

- You can use an absolute path.
- You can also specified all the includes path that will be find by php
automatically in your php.ini. You might want to specify your /libs directory
there, if you're including a lot of files from that directory.
Either or both should work

Greetings all, I am using fOpen to try and create a new file in a local directory on a remote server. Each time I run my script is says "PERMISSION DENIED" but the sys admin swears the entire directory is set to 777.
Does anyone know if a setting has to be set in PHP for dynamic file creation to take place?
I can use fOpen to read a file, I just cant write without the above error.
Please, any help is appreciated, my deadline is looming.
Thanks

Because sometimes you just want to check if something is set due to null,
'' and 0 being important.
$var = '';
empty($var); // evaluates to true
isset($var); // evaluates to true
unset($var);
empty($var); // evaluates to true
isset($var); // evaluates to false

Yes. They do the same thing. Couple things to think about, though. If
$_GET['op'] is 0, those commands will turn it into ''. Probably not what
you want. Also, though less important, if it's already '', there's no
need to do the step of resetting it to ''. Sometimes, a cleaner test is:
$op = isset($_GET['op']) ? $_GET['op'] : '';

Not exactly, but in some aspects it is/will be better like the ability to generate executable standalone PHP programs that you can distribute independently. There is also the question of the price that for Zend Encoder is ridiculously expensive.
Other than that, if you're main concerne is protecting your PHP code, you can do very well with bcompiler.

Definetly YES, because you do not need compile the scripts before each execution as they are already executed. Think about the speedup more or less like you were using Zend Cache, except that you do not need to pay a fortune to use it! :-)

I am trying to create a really simple proxy using PHP.
Basically, i need to:
1. read in the contents of a URL. 2. get the content-type 3. set the content type for the response 4. write the contents of the URL to the response.
here is what i have thus far:
$dataURL = "http://www.foo.com/data.xml"; $fp = fopen($dataURL, "r"); $content = fread($fp, true); echo($content); fclose($fp);
I am running into two problems. One, the second param for fread takes the size of the file / content. how do i get this?
there is a comment at: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.fread.php
which says to just specify a constant and it will work, but what ever number i specify, that is the amount of data that is read.
how do i retrieve the content type?
thanks for any help...

Yes! Unfortunately, you'll have to install the special driver on the Linux/Unix becuase of the communication difference between UNIX & Windows as well as the language difference between these two. I tried using iODBC and openLINK. After 1 1/2 years, I decided that open source code for this is no good because they are not compactable and it is such a big, big pain in the butt!!! So, I ended up moving the website on UNIX to windows. Why, because of the way the data type is being coverted between 2 platform and character length or type is strictly limited. I have not tried to buy such a $600 or $800 driver software to see how well it does because it is a waste of money and MS kept changing the programming in the MS Access and MS SQL making the drivers useless.

First thing first! Open up the terminal and log in. Then type the command, if the machine doesn't reboot or if you got an error message, it meant the command is not correct. Once you get the correct command then use it in PHP. It's much simplier that way. If PHP can't reboot the machine then it mean many things, like no authority to do it or path statement, shell, etc.
For linux, it use "shutdown -r now" For some UNIX, it use "shutdown -Fr" or "shutdown -r", etc.

I just upgraded to PHP 4.2.2 and am trying to make my sites work with register_globals turned OFF. I notice, however, that with register_globals turned off any variables I pass via the URL don't seem to be recognized by the script it was passed to.
So, if I pass "http://my.site.com/page.php?id=2002", the variable "id" is empty when I try to access it in page.php ...
if (!empty($id)) { do stuff...} else { echo "error"; }
With register_globals OFF, the above produces the error message. With register_globals ON, it works fine.
I thought register_globals only affected session, cookie and get type variables? Why is PHP ignoring the variables passed via the URL?
Thanks.

Thanks, Steve. So, does this mean I now have to re-declare all vars passed via the URL or a form POST in every script that uses them? Or is there a quicker, easier way to make use of these vars with register_globals off in a script?
Thanks!

Variables passed via the URL are GET variables. In v4.2.2 you can use $_GET['variable_name'] to access them.

Nah... "" and NULL (and I suppose "\0") are all being changed to the string "" before PHP attempts to add it. What I think the LDAP server tries to say, is that the syntax doesn't accept an empty string as value. I tried to create an LDIF file containing an attribute with no value, like this:
dn: cn=stig,o=photos,dc=venaas,dc=no objectClass: photo cn: stig description:
and I got exactly the same error from ldap_add(1). So this is in my opinion an LDAP issue and not a PHP issue. OpenLDAP 2 has more proper schema checking. Perhaps you could try to turn off schema checking? Or I guess in theory the syntax for the relevant attribute could be made more relaxed. You could try to ask about this on the openldap-software list if you need more LDAP help.

The problem is that $info contains not just the LDAP data, but also a list of attributes, like say $info[2] == "st". I wish that were never put in there, but we have to live with it now. You either have to create a new array with exactly you want in the entry (or I guess remove these extra values, use var_dump($info) and you should see what I'm talking of), or instead use ldap_mod_replace() using say
$mods["st"] = "stchamged"; ldap_mod_replace($ds, 'uid=testing,cn=online-leagues.com', $mods);

I'm having trouble getting the XML string to be broken up into the PHP array. Here's how it work. I send the XML request in a string to the credit bureau through cURL and vice versa. Most of the PHP scripting I found everywhere spoke about breaking up the xml tag into the array only when they come from the file and is use for parsing. Problem here is it is illegal to store the credit inquiry information to a file on the server except temporary storing it in the RAM but then it will have to be destroyed when it is done. I don't need to parse it, just want to use the tag name as the name in the array with the data from the tag as data to that array name. What is the work around for this??
Thanks, FletchSOD

The example on my page you looked at does get the stuff from a file, BUT, it takes that content and puts it into a string. All the xml_parse() function needs is the string. So, just feed it the string you get back from the agency.

I have have a PHP script that is core dumping, I'm trying to find out exactly where. I carefully followed the instructions on
http://bugs.php.net/bugs-generating-backtrace.php
with a little help in creating an apache debug build using:
http://www.bowiesnyder.com/writings/gdb_apache.htm
however, when I get to the end bit where it's supposed to print out the function that was causing the seg fault (I've already typed "frame x" where x is the lowest-numbered execute() call), I get crap:
(gdb) print (char *)(executor_globals.function_state_ptr->function)->common.function_name $2 = 0x83a2be0 "´\221/\b\024àJ\bÜï[\b´ì0\b"
where it should say, according to the bugs.php.net page above, something like:
(gdb) print (char *)(executor_globals.function_state_ptr->function)->common.function_name $14 = 0x80fa6fa "pg_result_error"
I can't find any docs anywhere on what else I can ask executor_globals for... getting executor_globals.active_op_array->function_name returns one of my functions, but that's not terribly useful without knowing what line of it caused the segfault.
Any suggestions for futher probing?

I don't know what else to title this message with, hence the subject.
I have a script that defines a few variables like this:

Further down the script I have this piece:

That same script also gets a value ($step) from another one. Now I need to figure out which $var_list# to use based on this $step value. Any suggestion on how to do this?

I'm trying to use the more secure "register_globals=Off" setting for some simple scripts that do authentication and use sessions. But I'm ready to rip all my hair out!
Can someone recommend a good article online that clearly discusses what's different when you have register_globals=Off? I've spent hours looking through the PHP site but I'm just as confused as I was before I started. I thought this setting only affected global variables, but, there are all kinds of things not working properly, like the header() function. It just won't work at all with register_globals=Off, but works just fine when I switch it back on!

Look at the chapter "Session handling functions". The setting of register_globals affects the using of sessions.

It's called SuEXEC in Apache and compiled in the core of Apache, it's not a module.
What it does, it allows Apache to use the Group and User directives inside virtual hosts.
For example:
<VirtualHost whatever> DocumentRoot /blah User cust001 Group cust001 </VirutalHost>
In this case, all files in /blah would be owned by cust001:cust001 and permissions as strict as 0600 can be given on the files in the directory. Apache's processes serving requests on this virutal host, will drop permissions to user and group cust001 as specified in the configuration, so apache would have access to read it.
In other virtualhosts, either the default user / group is used, or they are specified uniquely in a per-virtualhost basis. The other virtual hosts will thus run with different uid/gid meaning that other virtualhosts will not be able to include code in other virtualhosts, even when they know the paths.
Because Apache drop permissions to the user/group specified, they will not have access to read/write/execute the included filename in a different virtualhost.

Use strpos() to find the position of the first space then substr() to extract from beginning to the space.

I'm not sure how sendmail works, but I think exim has a setting that you have to set so it will allow you to send email as a different user. Maybe there is something like that you need to set for sendmail also.

$_REQUEST holds everything from $_GET, $_POST, and $_COOKIE combined, thus you cannot differentiate where the value came from.
If you want to be sure, be specific and use one of $_GET/$_POST/$_COOKIE.

There is no reason other than knowing where it came from to choose one method over the other? For *most* applications it would seem that using REQUEST is better planning.

This should work:
foreach ($names as $key=>$val) { if (strcmp($val->firstName, "homer") == 0) { echo "changing homer to marge<br>"; $names[$key]->firstName = "marge"; break; } }

I have a database of mysql with 3 million records. No query is performed in less than 10 seconds!(With Index and all that)
Any way to speed this up ?
How on earth does US Social Security dept. maintain so many records ? Google has 1 billion pages and qurys in a few milliseconds...
I am not saying that they are using MySQL!
Should this be asked in a mysql list ? Please suggest a NNTP server!

You could always take this to the mysql mailing list

The index will not do magic by itself, especially if it is not unique.

Sometimes your queries need to be rewritten

Most likely they use Oracle or something as sophisticated that among other things can do table partitioning.

Real search engines do not use SQL databases.

Yes, MySQL is good but it is not magic. You can stretch it a bit with some optimization of your setup, but what often works better is rethinking your application. Does it really need to store 3 million records?

What do search engines use? Is there something out there that explains how they work?

$now = time(); $i = 36; while($i > 0){ echo date('M-Y',$now).'<br>'; $now = strtotime('-1 month',$now); $i--; }
