Hi,

I'm struggling with a problem for quite some time.
I have a webserver with apache-1.3.22, php 4.0.6 (patched for some security issues), informix ESQL 9.30 and a databaseserver with Informix IDS 7.31. This construction works very fine.

As soon as i go to newer versions --> last try : httpd-2.0.43, php-4.2.3, with the same informix configuration the problem appears. Everything went well for about a week --> so it lloks ok, but ...

On the databaseserver shared memory gets taken by the php-actions on the webserver and at a certain moment this memory is all used and the server (database) crashes.

Is there somebody who has experienced a similar problem or is there somebody who can give some hints in the direction to look for ???

Thanks in advance,

I'd go back to apache 1.3.27 and php-4.2.3 if I were you and see if that
fixes your problem.

I run Informix, PHP, and Apache on a server and have had no problems.

Also, you should use print_r() or var_dump() to help debug stuff like this.

If your ISP lets you write this line into your <Virtualhost> block, you can: Script PUT /your_file_for_handling_this.php and then you can look at http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.put-method.php

What do you mean???

a) Would you rather that tags were printed to the screen/browser as plain text? check out htmlspecialchars() and htmlentities() in the manual

b) Would you like to strip all the HTML tags from the text? check out striptags()

Now this is not the malicious kind where a user intentionally takes over another session. I'm speaking of a case where the random session ID generator happens to give another user someone else's session whether active or inactive (inactive and not yet cleared by garbage collection).

I had a case just this weekend where this happened, a user got another visitor's shopping cart. The potential is for someone to get another person's logged in session. The site I work with gets 5,000 unique visitors a day, it's a very very busy website and I'm thinking that garbage collection isn't up to snuff or that the random ID generation isn't quite random enough.

What can I do about this? I have increased the percentage of garbage collection already, what else can I do?

Use session_id() to create your own session ids before you call session_start(). Make them 64 characters instead of 32 using two calls to uniqid(). That would make it less likely that someone gets assigned the same ID, wouldn't it?

---John Holmes...

attached mail follows:

You can reimplement varios parts of session handling ( see session_set_save_handler() ) together with making your own (better) session id with session_id(), or implement your own session module ( session_module_name() )

attached mail follows:

You can generate your own session ids, you could use a randomly assign it or use part of the ip address in conjunction with a randomly generated key (something like appending the last 3 digits of the visiting IP address to a randomly generated session key).

You could keep track of them in a database as well and check to see if it is already in use before assigning it to the user, but this would generate additional load on your database server.

I have developed my own content feed in that you enter an article from somewhere which is posted into a mysql database and then anyone with access to it can use a java call to the feed and have the neadlines of the the most recent news articles displayed on their web site.

When you click on a headline it refers to an ID in the news table and a new window is opened and the article is displayed but without any formatting at all.

When an article is entered people may press enter to separate paragraphs etc and would like to know how to get these spaces to be reciprocated when the article is displayed as currently it ommits the breaks.

This is the code which I currently have in place:

<?php

mysql_connect ("localhost", "root","testhouse");

mysql_select_db ("content");

$result = mysql_query ("select * FROM articles WHERE articleId='$articleId'");

while ($row = mysql_fetch_row($result)) {

printf ("<tr><td>%s</td></tr>", $row[2]); }

I presume I need to insert something in the printf section, although it might be something to do with the code that inserts it into the database not being able to handle breaks.

Any help and direction would be much appreciated.

thanks

JCook

try using:

printf ("<tr><td>%s</td></tr>", nl2br ($row[2]));

Fatal error: Failes opening required './common.php' Warning: Failed opening xyz for inclusion Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already sent by (output started at ./common.php:346) in ./common.php line 350

There is no hint in the HTTP Server logs for errors related to the number of open file handles.

Any idea for a reason? Is it possible to get the errno of the errors? Because with errno it would be a little easier to understand the reasons for this!

best regards Gerald

You're running out of file descriptors--too many files open. Try increasing the maximum number of files available.

I have just installed Apache, PHP and MySQL, but when I try to do: mysql_connect($localhost,$mysqlusr); there is an error message like this: "MySQL Connection Failed: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysql/mysql.sock' (111)" Now, in /var/run/mysql there is in fact a file called mysql.sock Could anybody please tell me what I'm doing wrong?

hi I'm generating a pdf file and giving users a link to the file (an online certificate). The link is just a regular link with a query string.

Sometimes in the browser the pdf file opens correctly, and other times the page spews out gibberish (uncompiled).

I am including the header header("Content-type: application/pdf"); in the file and it is on the first line (before includes, etc.).

This is the first time I am outputting pdf files and suspect that probably I am missing something simple -- a step, call to a plugin, header, something. Can anyone tell me what that might be?

thanks, s.

attached mail follows:

Save the file and look, if you don't have some php errors showing up in it. What is different between the case when it shows up correctly and when it shows gibberish?

Make sure to send a content-length header, or IE won't like the pdf. IE has this terrible habit of remembering the content-type within a window of the browser, so if you ever had sent the page without the content-type, then IE will treat it as text and you get gibberish. The same is true in reverse -- if you get a parse error and had previously sent a content-type header, you'll get a broken icon image unless you close the window and re-open the page.

Also, you may want to move the content-type header to a place right before you output the pdf, so that if there are parse errors, the browser will show them and not try to send the page to Aacrobat.

These are the headers I send: header('Content-type: application/pdf'); header("Content-Disposition: inline; filename=$fileName"); header("Content-Length: $length");

attached mail follows:

Well could be several things from my experience.. if you leave off the trailing empty header(""); or a \n at the end of the last header it could cause your problem. The other problem I have had is when I put a session_start() after any of my headers in my code. The session_start() must be the first thing executed before all headers are processed... That is if you are using sessions like that.

My file outputs in NS4.79 but not IE6 (although it used to work in IE no problem. not sure why it stopped). These are my last lines of code:

Try this:

header("Content-length: $len\n\n");

You need to have a blank header line after your content-length or IE goes wacky on you... If that doesn't work then hmmmm I'm not quite sure where to go from there..

Any headers before that in your code? or output's at all accidentily?

Content-length must be right for IE. Check what David said about outputing something accidently, thus messing up the content length. I use ob_start(), ob_get_length(), and ob_end_flush(), but your code should work fine. Maybe you could start ob just to see if the pdf_get_buffer() value matches the ob_get_length() value?

'accidental output' rang a bell .... turns out the include file to access my database was the culprit, though only effecting IE. When I took it out & simply called the database from within the script (which is how it had been for weeks, when it was working), the file opened pdf, no gibberish. I guess I could put it back and use the ob_ functions, but for now it's fine.

thanks all. s.

Hello everybody,

I try to retrieve and display an 128-byte encrypted page on the internet ( https protocol) . For this I had to install the curl library.

I use this code but all I have is a white page :

$ch = curl_init(); $sample_URL = "https://www.example.com"; curl_setopt($ch, curlOPT_URL, $sample_URL); curl_setopt($ch, curlOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); $result=curl_exec($ch); curl_close($ch);

I don't have any error, I just retrieve a white page.

Thanx for any advice !!!

Not sure if this is the cause of your problem but try changing curlOPT_RETURNTRANSFER to CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER and curlOPT_URL to CURLOPT_URL

I use this which is similar and works ok RewriteRule ^/sa/(.*)$ /sa/index.php [E=USERNAME:$1]

But I have had troubles getting mod-rewrite to function with domains that are outside of the main apache document_root. For example I use mod_dynvhost and mod-rewrite totally ignores any rules set for those virtual domains. Maybe a clue..

The foreach loop is useless, as one of the conditions will be met nad your functions returns. I'm not sure, if you know you now have $foo contain $foo[0][0], $foo[1][0], $foo[1][1], $foo[1][2], $foo[2][0], and this makes it inconsistent, there is one in $foo[0] and 3 in $foo[1]. Maybe you want

function cmp ($a, $b) { if ($a[$k]['rank'] < $b[$k]['rank']) return 1; if ($a[$k]['rank'] > $b[$k]['rank']) return -1; if ($a[$k]['rank'] == $b[$k]['rank']) return 0; }

I've tried the way you mentioned. It doesn't work. Here is what I did. I ran a double foreach() to create a new flat multidimensional array out of the original array. Then apply uasort to the new array and it seems to be working. If anyone knows of a better, more efficient way, feel free to chime in... New code -> ---------------------------- <?php

echo header('Content-type: text/plain');

foreach($foo as $key => $temp) { foreach($temp as $value) { $bar[] = $value; } }

function cmp ($a, $b) { if ($a['rank'] > $b['rank']) $return = -1; if ($a['rank'] < $b['rank']) $return = 1; if ($a['rank'] == $b['rank']) $return = 0; return $return; }

uasort ($bar, 'cmp'); print_r($bar);

Hi all!

I'm trying to display a flash which is stored at my db (postgresql). to retrieve the information i created a file named show_swf.swf with this content: <? $conn = pg_connect ("dbname=name user=doumind password=hmmmno"); $filename = $_GET['filename']; $sql = "select bin_data from banners where filename='$filename'"; $res = pg_query ($conn, $sql); $data = pg_result ($res, 0, "bin_data"); header('Content-type: application/x-shockwave-flash'); echo stripcslashes($data); ?>

and i call this file at the code of the flash (i've bolded and underline the places where i called the file): function flash_code_up_right($filename) {

$output = <<<html_snip <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://active.macromedia.com/flash2/cabs/swflash.cab#version=4,0,0,0" width="208" height="60"><param name="banner_small" value="show_swf.swf?filename=$filename" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="bgcolor" value="white" /> <script type="text/javascript">  </script></object>

html_snip;

return $output; }

now when i do this i c instead of the flash a white square with the right measures. if i just call show_swf.swf?filename=filename from the address row at the browser i can c the flash being displayed but its huge (all over the screen).

does anyone have any idea or can just give me a link to related info?

Included files get the same scope as the place the include is called. So, what your doing should work fine if you have the include at the top of the file and try to use a function within it later in the page. If you have your include() in a function, then it may not work.

Show us _some_ of your code if this doesn't help.

Hi, Lets say I set a cookie like this:

setcookie(session_name(), $szSessionID, time()+$expireTime, "/");

The cookie does get set fine. Now, how can I change the cookie value $szSessionID without affecting the cookies expire time? Will $_COOKIE['szSessionID'] = $newsessionid store the new value to the cookie?

So if the cookie time was set to expire in 7 days, I would like to be able to change the cookies value 3 days later, but the expire time would not be reset to 7 days, it would still have the original time which would mean 4 days left to the cookie life. If I can retreive the current expire time of the cookie, I could just subtract that value, but I don't know how to get the cookies set expire time. And I don't want to store the expire time as another cookie or part of this cookie.

Thanks for any help. Chris

Why /usr and not /usr/lib. The latter is where they are installed...

Also, sablotron isn't installed in the above directory. It's installed in /usr/lib. This is what I get when I run rpm -ql sablotron-0.96-1

/usr/bin/sabcmd /usr/lib/libsablot.so.0 /usr/lib/libsablot.so.0.96.0 /usr/share/doc/sablotron-0.96 /usr/share/doc/sablotron-0.96/README /usr/share/doc/sablotron-0.96/RELEASE /usr/share/doc/sablotron-0.96/sabcmd.1

In any case, what you suggested got me much farther than I've ever been before. However, now I'm getting this:

checking for XSLT Sablotron backend... yes checking libexpat dir for Sablotron XSL support... yes

all good so far, but:

checking for Sablotron libraries in the default path... configure: error: not fo und. Please re-install the Sablotron distribution

I have a database full of products. The client needs to be able to update the products in the database, so I set up a maintenance area for them to do so. They are able to view the product details, edit the details, and then submit the changes. All very standard, in a form, using php and mysql.

And it was working fine, or so I thought, until recently.

The client was doing a whole batch of updates... and it seems that the query works for some items and not for others. For instance, I have a category called "Auto and Garage", and of the 7 items in that category, only 1 is updatable. In the "For the Birds" category, 12 of the 20 items are updatable. It is always the same items that fail.

The page that does the editing is called edit_product.php, and the query looks like this:

mysql_query("UPDATE products SET prod_name='$prod_name', prod_sku='$prod_sku', prod_price='$prod_price', prod_sdesc='$prod_sdesc', prod_ldesc='$prod_ldesc', prod_cat='$prod_cat', itemnum='$itemnum', assoc='$assoc', best_seller='$best_seller' where ID = '$prod_ID'");

To test, I've added lines that echo each of those values, including $prod_ID, which is the most important. (When I went to debug, I noticed that $prod_ID was not in quotes, and then I added the quotes, but it still doesn't work... I always forget the proper quoting convention.) And they all echo just fine. It's trying to update the product with ID of 12, for instance, and it echoes "12" for $prod_ID, and it seems like it has all the right values... but the database ain't getting updated. Looking at the ID numbers, and the rest of the field values, I can't see any pattern. (I was hoping to find a problem with the items that had quotes, or that started with the number "1", or some such... but no luck so far.)

Now, is it obvious to everyone what I'm overlooking here? Can anyone tell me what else to do to try to debug this?

Eternal thanks in advance, Jen

attached mail follows:

One thing I've noticed in the new version of PHP is it's not to be exact. It's also nice to put your SQL in it's own varible. Taking what you have, I'd put this:

$sql = "UPDATE products SET prod_name='$prod_name', prod_sku='$prod_sku', prod_price='$prod_price', prod_sdesc='$prod_sdesc', prod_ldesc='$prod_ldesc', prod_cat='$prod_cat', itemnum='$itemnum', assoc='$assoc', best_seller='$best_seller' where ID = '$prod_ID'"; $conn = **YOUR DATABASE CONNECTION** $query = mysql_query($sql, $conn); if(!$query) { echo "Error running query<br>".mysql_error();

Make sure these fields don't have any special characters in them, either at the database level, shell level, or html level. Proper quoting/encoding is essential for things like this to work. Also, make sure you are not passing GET or POST data with imbeded spaces as part of the query, as the URL will break.

See urlencode in the php manual.

Try to update one of the items which fail directly in the database. Maybe that will help you to see if there's a mistake on your query. Be careful with ' (single quote) in the middle of a value and stuff like that.

Yeah, it's a pain, but you have to be very careful. I did the php backend for the nsiinnovations and nsitoys web sites, and they insisted on having descriptions with '&', '*' amd '!' in them. Talk about encoding mangling! I'm glad I only had to do that one time!

Is it possible to save a session for say a year? The manual seems to be telling me that if you change the session expire time, it is still only good for that instance of the browser, so as soon as you close the browser, the session is lost no matter what the expire time. Is this correct? I need to use cookies to save any session data longer right?

The other question, assuming I am correct, is why don't they allow you to save sessions independent of browser like you can cookies?

You might want to look into using cookies instead of sessions maybe use the cookies with your session...

I have recently moved one php app from one server to another, it is working fine on one system but has thrown up several errors on the new one. I am convinced that it is a simple fault but I just can't see it.

These are the errors I get:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Notice: Undefined variable: articleId in C:\phpweb\submitnews.php on line 27

Notice: Undefined variable: title in C:\phpweb\submitnews.php on line 27

Notice: Undefined variable: content in C:\phpweb\submitnews.php on line 27 Article Uploaded: Notice: Undefined variable: title in C:\phpweb\submitnews.php on line 31

This is the submitnews.php script:

<html> <body> <title> Add Item to Testhouse Databases</title> <style>

body { color:#000000; font-family: Verdana; font-size:9pt } th { color:#FFFFFF; font-family: Verdana; font-size:9pt } td { color:#000000; font-family: Verdana; font-size:8pt } a { color:#000000; font-family: Verdana; font-size:8pt; font-weight: bold; }

</style> <img src="testhouse.gif">

</head> <body bgcolor="#C2D7EA">

<h2>Results:-</h2> <hr noshade size="1" color="#20158F"> <?php

mysql_connect ("localhost");

mysql_select_db ("content");

mysql_query("INSERT INTO articles(articleId, title, content) VALUES ('$articleId', '$title', '$content')");

print("Article Uploaded:"); print($title); print("<p>");

?> </body> </html>

What is strange is that an articleID is actually added but nothing else even though it says that articleId is undefined.

This the form script where the data is added from:

<html> <head> <title> Upload a News Article </title> </head> <body bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> <a href="http://www.testhouse.org.uk"> <img border="0" src="testhouse.gif"> </a>

<tr> <td width="100%" bgcolor="#999999" height="22" colspan="2"> <p style="margin-left: 10"><b><font face="Verdana" size="2" color="#FFFFFF"> Upload a News Article</font></b></td>

</tr>

</tr>

<tr> <td width="15%" bgcolor="#FFE300"> <p style="margin-left: 10"><font face="Verdana" size="2"> Article Title:</font></td> <td width="85%" bgcolor="#FFE300"> <input type="text" name="title" size="20" maxlength="20"></td> </tr>

</tr>

<tr> <td width="15%" bgcolor="#FFE300"> <p style="margin-left: 10"><font face="Verdana" size="2"> Article Body:</font></td> <td width="85%" bgcolor="#FFE300"> <textarea name ="content" rows=16 cols=60 input type="text" name="content"></textarea></td> </tr>

</tr>

</table> </form>

</body> </html>

Thanks in advance for any help or direction.

my hunch, register_globals is turned on in one, and off in the other in the php.ini file. Plenty of documentation about this change between versions online php.net, and also in the archives. -Brad
