That is how it works. If it's not checked it does not get defined.

Hi,

why do you think the session isn't working? If there is a run time error in 'file' then an error would be reported and the output terminated. If you have error reporting off then you would expect to get eactly what you see. Sounds like a problem inside 'file'.

<? $fn = 'test.gif';

echo preg_replace('/(.+?)(\..+?)/', '\1a\2', $fn);

This script will output 'testa.gif'

now how can i make it produce 'test1.gif' ?

if i replace the: '\1a\2' with '\11\2' it will understand to replace with occurence number 11 ! How can i escape the 2nd '1' so it is considered as a string an not another number.

James, Actually the interpreter will evaluate the '\1'. '1' . '\2' into one string before passing it to preg_replace So it will yield up as I originally wrote it, and it won't work.

This may be a silly question, but I'm used to being able to find PHP functions to do whatever I want, but I can't find one to do this!

If I have an array like this:

[0] -> 'apple'; [1] -> 'pear'; [2] -> 'orange'; [3] -> 'apricot';

I know I can use in_array() to check whether, say, 'orange' is in the array; but how do I then find out which index 'orange' is at?

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.array-search.php

Note that it will return 0 if the value is in the first element of the array so use ( === ) to determine if it's a key or really not found.

attached mail follows:

can do this:

$array = array('apple', 'pear', 'orange', 'apricot');

$array = array_flip($array);

$keyword = 'orange'; echo "found '$orange' index:" . $array[$keyword];

Don't use this method though! It makes your program slow!

Hello,

Could you tell me if it possible to reload the current page when I select a value in a drop down ?

On a page, I have 2 drop down, the content on the first one come from the database. The content of the second one too (from database) but depend of the first drop down value.

An idea to do that ?

attached mail follows:

Hi there.

You would need to use JavaScript for this, specifically an onChange( ) event for the select field(s). Your JavaScript should basically reload the page once an option has been selected from the first select field, passing through a variable containing the value of the option which has just been selected, you can then use php to retrieve the appropriate records for the second select field when the page is reloaded.

Cheers

Hi;

Here is a brief description of my problem:

There is a file called index.php in some directory. The guy who wrote this file didn't bother creating another file where the functions are defined. More precisely, there is a big switch statement in the file. Depending on the outcome of the switch statement, one of the functions is called.

For some reason, I cannot call the function itself. I have to access it via the switch statement. However as it as index.php, it also prints some HTML stuff, which I do not want to be displayed...

Can I use an iframe do call this index.php and passing a parameter to be used in the switch statement? Anything I have to be careful with? Any way of knowing when the iframe has finished doing its job from the calling page? (maybe use "parent.form.submit()")

Any help will be appreciated

a more OO approach might be to use the Snoopy PHP class (http://snoopy.sourceforge.net)

This will allow you to do GET/POST method requests on URLS with query variables, ie:

POST $snoopy = new Snoopy; $submit_vars["q"] = [ form variables ]; $submit_url = "http://www.google.com/search";

$snoopy->submit($submit_url,$submit_vars); $result = $snoopy->results;

GET $snoopy = new Snoopy; $submit_url = "http://www.google.com/search?q=".[ form variables ]; $snoopy->fetch($submit_url); $result = $snoopy->results;

Then simply parse through $result;

hi guys i was wondering if there was anyway to have a progress bar for uploading images ?

attached mail follows:

You're best bet would be to make an animated gif that looks like a progres bar (or twirling icon or whatever).

Then when the users hits submit, "turn it on"... in the same way you do image rollovers, etc...

Then it will spin until the form is submitted...

How about setting a small IFRAME in the upload diaog box? Then you could do a couple of things;

a.) Place a small animated GIF in the IFRAME that moves left to right or from side to side until the upload completes.

2.) Use the GD library and do something similar in the IFRAME.

Now, there are some issues such as calcing the time it takes to upload or measuring the amount of the file upload and updating the IFRAME image accordingly, and maybe some other little details that I am not thinking about, but it just a weird little thought. I'd love to see some solutions based on this though, and maybe when I get a little time next week I'll give it a go.

HTH!

TMTOWDI, but here is a way I did something similar. I was spidering remote sites and to get user's data and store in a database and the user could not continue until the spider spun it's web.

I accpeted the data I needed and then returned a page with the HTTP-REFRESH tag in it with something like this

So it refreshes every 10 seconds and checks to see if process X has finished, if so then redirect to the next step, if not then just return but upgrade the timer so you can increase your counter (perhaps a percentage in a table cell).

This wouldn't work for uploading files however since the long part of the process is the act of uploading the file and until that completes your "save.php" (or whatever) isn't called.

So in regards to file uploading it has to be done with Javascript. What you do below is great for scripts that just take a long time though.

I ... Had to do something like that recently .. Sending files through ftp_put(); i just send the file .. And when user clicks 'Send' button ... A pop-up appears and gets the file size of the remote file and comparing with de local size you can build a progress bar .... This pop-up uses the tag that Peter said HTTP-REFRESH so you can see how the file size increases every n seconds ... It worked for me .. I hope this can help !!

Yes, heck, I forgot about that. I fork the other script ... I don't see how I can do that with the file upload as it is the script itself being called ... umm .... I don't see off the top of my bald head how to do that fork with the file-upload. But there is a mod_perl module which does this. It might give some clues to someone who will pursue this (not me :)

Hi people,

As I understand it, object are unserialized into their former Class, if that Class is in memory. That's right, right?

Well, consider the following code:

include_once("../config.inc.php"); include_once($WORKDIR."obj/foto.obj.php"); if($type == 1) { $foto = new Foto(); } if(isset($_SESSION['foto'])) { $foto = unserialize($_SESSION['foto']); } $foto->makeInputFoto($type); $_SESSION['foto']=serialize($foto);

It's for a page that can edit or add a foto in(to) the database. If I run it like this, with ?type=1 in the URL, it works the first time, but after a reload of the exact same page, I get a 'Call to a member function on a non-object' in the line '$foto->makeInputFoto($type);'. Why is that? It's already a Foto-object, because I unserialized it, isn't it?

I also tried: if($type == 1 && !isset($_SESSION['foto'])) { $foto = new Foto(); } elseif(isset($_SESSION['foto'])) { $foto = unserialize($_SESSION['foto']); } With exactly the same effect. Any idea on how I can solve this? Tia!

Did you see my PS at the end of my question?

> PS I have session.auto_start ON and enabled trans-sid

I don't need seesion_start() and I don't need to register the variable since I am setting it directly with $_SESSION["id"] = 1

If I am wrong about this please correct me, I'm still new to sessions.

attached mail follows:

By any chance, is page one the "entrance" page to your application? I.e. is there a session id in either the query string of the page URL or was there one passed to it via a POST?

Without cookies enabled, there is no way to allow users to use the back button to go back to the entrance page while maintaining the session.

One (hackish) solution to this is to cause the entrance page to immediately redirect to itself using either PHP's header function, or a meta refresh. Your goal here is to make it so that hitting back from a secondary page would take you to the post-refreshed entrance page which has the session ID.

Good luck.

Actually, I DID read the articles before I replied.

If you read it again, the basic problem is not about any "extended SQLServer functionality"--it's about how ASP works AND how the database server was configured AND how Window$ works.

Sorry, but the attacks mentioned CANNOT be done on any of the database servers that I've used. And with PHP, Apache, Linux combination, they just don't apply.

Hey, don't get me wrong. I really appreciate any security info but personally I don't think they apply here...

- E

HINT: PHP doesn't use another "'" (single quote) character to escape another single quote character--it's just basically stupid to do so.

HINT 2: Configure your database server to have, for example, (1) a database username/password that can only SELECT -- enough for dynamically generated pages (2) a username/password that can only do INSERT or UPDATE, etc. Why would I make a username/password for my web pages that can delete important table or the entire database itself?

I'm finding myself in a strange situation. I am trying to build a a web site that will use sessions and work even if a user decides not to accept cookies.

So far the site design is working fine by using the trans-sid functionality of PHP. But I have this on case where things break down.

1- user comes to the top page of my site 2- I try and start a session. user refuses to accept cookies 3- user click on links to visit my site, session works before SID is passed along in the URL 4 user clicks back button all the way back to my top page 5 session is lost because the SID is not in the URL of the top page ...

How can I get around the problem of not having the SID in the URL of the first page to my site the user comes to? It kind of a chicken-or-the-egg problem ...

Thanks for any and all suggestions!

I kind of hate it when sites do this, but you could have the first page reload itself if it doesn't have an SID, and add an SID to itself. This way, if they use the back button, the first "first page" they come to has the SID.

You might then be able to use window.forward() in Javascript first, before giving them an SID. If they used the back button to get to you, window.forward() moves forward to a page that has an SID (which should look exactly like the page they thought they wanted that didn't have an SID). If they didn't use the back button to get to you, window.forward shouldn't do anything.

As a fall-back, you would probably want to have a warning on the front page that says, if the front page has no SID, that if they used the back button get here, use the forward button to go back or they might lose their session data.

This depends on your audience, of course. If you did that to me as a general browser, I probably wouldn't ever visit your site again :*)

Note that some sites do come right out and tell you not to use your back button to get around. You might just do this, and if they use their back button anyway, they get a new session.

Make your site as accessible as you can, using Jerry's suggestion is a good idea and then accept some people will be bent on not being able to use your site by disabling as much functionality in their browsers as they can or they use old browsers that don't support the functionality you are using.

I'm not very proficient with e-mail configuration, so if someone finds I'm saying something wrong, don't think twice before correcting it. AFAIK, you can create an alias typically in /etc/aliases - or /etc/sendmail/aliases, as I've heard for newer versions of sendmail. In any case, the file has to be there already because that's where you have the root/webmaster/postmaster aliases defined.

Add a line reading stocks: | /usr/bin/php /path/to/your/script.php

I'm not sure if sendmail should be restarted after this, so you'd better do it just to make sure.

You'll obviously need root access to do these. After this point, you don't anymore.

In /path/to/your/script.php, you'll receive the whole e-mail message from standard input, so you'll have to check out those functions here http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.commandline.php

Then all you have to do is parse the incoming mail message - I'm sure you'll be able to google out plenty of functions/classes to do that - drop me an e-mail if you don't find any and I'll send you mine.

I'm having trouble with some HTML-based mail with PHP. It's not the regular thing where I can't get it to use the tags instead of just printing them. That part's fine; it comes out HTML-based.

My problem is the way it's not accessing a certain image. I get a broken link instead of an image at the top of my e-mail. I had it print the URL at which it should find the image, and then cut and paste that in my browser, and the image comes up fine. But, as far as putting it in the e-mail, it's not working out.

Any ideas?

Is that REALLY what you want to do? There are no spaces between the names. Try:

$Namak = "$namsa $namadu $namati";

But, that's probably not the problem. I suspect none of the three variables are being set because you have register_globals turned off.

Use the $_POST or $_GET variables.

Read the manual on these topics for more information.

Hey all, I need a little help with moving a file on the server after an upload.

Our company site is hosted, so I don't have full access to the configuration files, but I can do a PHP_info dump if you need more clarification. Using 4.0.1pl2.

What I'm doing is uploading a file from a form, and that goes through just fine. I can print the file name to a database, along with the size.

The trouble is, no matter how I try to move it from the tmp directory, I get the same error. I've tried referencing it by the name given in the form, I've tried referencing it by $_Files. No matter how I call it, it never seems to go back to the tmp directory to look for the file. Here's a sample error:

Warning: Unable to create '/test/data/test.txt': No such file or directory in /usr/local/www/vhosts/healthtvchannel.org/htdocs/test/upload.php on line 17

That's with using:

copy("{$UploadedFile}","/test/data/".$UploadedFile_name);

$UploadedFile being the name I'm using. Both variables seem to be returning correctly. $UploadedFile returns the temp name, and $UploadedFile_name returns the actual name. The file is also far under the maximum file size. The /test/data has Nobody write permissions, I know because I'm writing to a file in it with another script, and there's no file in there with the same file name to cause overwriting ownership conflicts.

So where am I being stupid?

Here's the full code:

<? print($UploadedFile); print("<br />"); $filename = $UploadedFile_name; print "$filename was uploaded successfuly<br>\n"; $realname = $UploadedFile_name; print "realname is $realname<br>\n"; print "copying file to uploads dir<br>\n"; copy("{$UploadedFile}","/test/data/".$UploadedFile_name); ?>

<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="<?$php_self?>" method="post"> <input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="4096"> <input name="UploadedFile" type="file"> <input type="submit" value="upload">

TEXT fields in MySQL can store the same amount as their BLOB counterparts.

Hi all. For a universal form script I'm writing I want to store a 'Y' in a table field if a checkbox is checked and an 'N' if it's not. The problem is that when the form is posted if the checkbox is not checked the checkbox variable is not passed. E.g.

If the checkbox is checked, I get $_POST['my_checkbox_var'] == 'Y', but if not $_POST['my_checkbox_var'] is not even set. So what I've been doing is putting the variable names of the checkbox fields into an array, serializing it, and then pass the string as a hidden input on the form. Then in the page that handles the POST I unserialize the array to determine if checkbox fields were passed and then handle accordingly. But I'm wondering is there a better way (or at least a standard way) of doing this?

I'll assume here that you're dynamically building the table and thus the checkboxes, which is why you cannot know whether a checkbox exists on the form or not.

If this is true, I would get a variable $loop, set it to 0, then on outputting every checkbox, append this value to the checkbox's name. Then you have predicatable checkbox names.

When you have finished drawing the checkboxes, note in a hidden input field the $loop value so you know what maximum possible checkbox number is.

On receiveing the POST, do a for loop, and perform an if (isset($_POST["checkbox_number_$loop"])) then you know if it's set or not.

I think that just about covers it. Apologies if I have misread/misinterpreted what you have asked.

Hi folks,

I'm learning shell scripting via linux, and have written a script that creates the core files necessary for a users website from a master set of files.

Works from the shell just fine (bash makethesite.sh username pathtoputfiles pathtogetfiles)

Trying to execute this via php, and it literally does nothing.

If I try something like: $bashoutput=shell_exec('bash makethesite.sh username pathtoputfiles pathtogetfiles'); echo $bashoutput;

I get nothing output, and the script doesn't execute.

Any ideas?

I'm asuming you are executing something like the following:

php myPhpScript.php

The following will probably give you the desired results...

php -qC myPhpScript.php

This prevents PHP from switching out of the current directory.

HTH, Rob.

You are trying to execute a bash script from PHP though. When you invoke the php engine it usually changes directory (to the root defined in the php.ini I think). To stop this so that it will remain in the current directory so that when you run bash it will see the bash script in the current directory, you need to use the -C command line option. I believe your environment is inherited by php and subsequently bash and so if you don't use the -C option bash will be looking in the wrong directory.

I have found a solution to my bulk email problem. I'm posting my solution simply because I spent nearly a year finding it, and I KNOW there's many other people in my same situation.

First, a recap of my problem:

I need to send personalized emails to my member list on a daily basis. I use PHP to query the MySQL database, and loop through the results using the mail() function. Problem: very slow, browser/php times out, etc.

Solution:

First, I configure sendmail to use "queueonly" as the DeliveryMethod (see sendmail.cf) instead of "background". Then, when my PHP script runs, mailings simply get queued instead of actually delivered. This is a x10 speed increase. My script queues approximately 1,000 mailings per minute (a x10 speed increase). Then, I modified the /etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail script to process the queue every 5 minutes, instead of the default one hour. This insures that the mailings actually get sent soon after they're queued, and you won't have to wait for important emails to come through.

The problem with the above solution used to be this: certain emails generated from my site (welcome emails, password lookup emails, etc) need to be sent IMMEDIATELY, and cannot wait in the queue for 5 minutes. The solution for this: not using the built-in mail() command in PHP. I created my own mail script (by modifying something someone else already did) which opens a socket directly with the mail server. Code is below.

// Sends the email directly to the mail server using SMTP. This is done // so sendmail can be setup using the queue method on the server, and // confirmation emails, etc, can be sent immediately to the member. function smtp_mail($to, $from_name, $from_email, $reply_to_email, $subject, $body) { $smtp = fsockopen("your_mail_server_here", 25); if ($smtp == 0) return 0; fputs($smtp,"helo machines_host_and_domain_name_here\r\n"); $line = fgets($smtp, 1024); fputs($smtp,"mail from: $from_email\r\n"); $line = fgets($smtp, 1024); fputs($smtp,"rcpt to: $to\r\n"); $line = fgets($smtp, 1024); fputs($smtp,"data\r\n"); $line = fgets($smtp, 1024); fputs($smtp,"From: $from_name <$from_email>\r\n"); fputs($smtp,"Reply-To: $reply_to_email\r\n"); fputs($smtp,"To: $to\r\n"); fputs($smtp,"Subject: $subject\r\n"); fputs($smtp,"\r\n"); fputs($smtp,"$body\r\n"); fputs($smtp,".\r\n"); $line = fgets($smtp, 1024); fputs($smtp, "QUIT\r\n"); fclose($smtp); return 1; }

Function is called as follows:

if (!smtp_mail("recipient_email_here", $EMAIL_FROM_NAME, $EMAIL_FROM_EMAIL, $EMAIL_FROM_REPLY_TO, $SIGNUP_VALIDATION_SUBJECT, "Test Body")) { print "error: mail not sent"; } else { print "it worked!"; }

Hope this helps others!

Have a php script authenticate the user, then if authenticated, use the reafile() function to output it to the user directly. Since PHP can see more than just the web space the files just need to reside outside of the websapce.

If you set the mime type properly the browser will automatically make it a download versus displaying it.

Cheers, Rob.

Good guess! Sounds like a file permissions thing. What directory are those files being created in? Provide "nobody" with adequate permissions on that directory.

That's because your query string syntax is all messed up.

Put a mysql_error() call in your script after the mysql_query() call. It will tell you what the error is. http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-error.php.

(Or, of course, you can execute the query directly from your MySQL client command line.)

If you're unclear about what the error message is saying, read the MySQL manual on how to write SELECT statements. http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/SELECT.html

Ok, to answer my own question...

Apparently php.ini doesn't get read until Apache is restarted. Restarting apache did the trick.
