attached mail follows:

when a user logs into my system I set a variable $_SESSION['username'].
now, every page somebody pulls up it revalidates their login so somebody
cannot get into the backend of the system.

now - is there a way I can make a utility that will show me the session
username's that are in use? it would be useful to be able to know who's
currently online. this is a website that will not be published, and is used
for a VERY limited number of people.

Jeff

attached mail follows:

Simple create a database table for logins and have a status that you
set to online / offline and last seen could also be added.

Then it is just a simple SELECT statement.

If you don't want to use a database you could flock (not perfect) a file
then read in a serialised array and update then write out and unlock.

yea, that will work. however, I was thinking of something a little more
dramatic like parsing the /tmp directly, associating ID's, and killing dead

Hmm... yes you could create an array of the files then check the last
mod stamp using stat (remember to reset stat).

Sessions are also cleaned up via the garbage collection system
controlled via php.ini

thanks... I'm almost done with this project, and I think I will implement
this in the next phase. doesn't sound terribly difficult, but I think I
will hold off. definitely something I will be doing in the future, and
probably not too distance future.

How do you force garbage collection? I've written an application using
sessions for storage and there's been a session sitting in my /tmp
directory for 2 days now, well over the 1440 seconds expiration.

attached mail follows:

Arr the garbage collection is based on a probability
(session.gc_probability) and therefore it will clean
up if you get enough hits to the server. Check the documentation for
config of sessions.

I use db for sessions with a check to ensure db is available. (you can
then cleanup whatever you want)

attached mail follows:

I find that my the company that I work for is a little over protective.
My machine is quite restricted (as in firewall and accessability) when
it comes to ftp and telnet. Well basically my hands are tied in that
sense.

I am testing my database build on my local machine which runs fine and
all. I am curious though as to how these restrictions may affect my
attempts to send "mail()" I have tried various external SMTP srervers (i
am running off winxp pro) in my php.ini file and I get nothing. Just the
error code I have placed in (below).

<?php

if (mail("somebodysomewhere.com", "this title", "testing"))
echo "Mail Sent!";
else
echo "Mail could not be sent...";

?>

Warning: Failed to connect to mailserver, verify your "SMTP" setting in
php.ini in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\_tasks\email.php on line 21
Mail could not be sent...

Would my local machines restrictions be stopping the mail function from
communicating with the SMTP server??

Cheers

Hello Bruce--

That depends on what restrictions are imposed on your box, of course.
Does your company use an SMTP-compatible mail server for your internal
mail? If so, you could use the server your mail client points to to
perform your tests.

Cheers,

Marco

This is outgoing traffic the same as if you where surfing the Internet and as the connection is an established one your machine will allow it.

I would suggest looking at the (server) as it may not allow relaying etc!!

Well I can't be totally sure but I think all outgoing mail points to an external SMTP server.

Couple of suggestions:

1) Try connection to the SMTP server manually with Telnet, and see if you discover more that way

2) Simply use the same SMTP server that is configured in your mail client at work

Just use the smtp server you use for mail. Oh you might not use smtp for corporate environment? Just use something like outlook express or some other smtp enabled client to send to these various smtp servers you are trying to use for the php scripts first. Then if it works with the mail client then you should reasonably expect the php to work.

I am curious though as to how these restrictions may affect my attempts to send "mail()" I have tried various external SMTP srervers (i am running off winxp pro) in my php.ini file and I get nothing. Just the error code I have placed in (below).

<?php

if (mail("somebodysomewhere.com", "this title", "testing")) echo "Mail Sent!"; else echo "Mail could not be sent...";

Warning: Failed to connect to mailserver, verify your "SMTP" setting in php.ini in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\_tasks\email.php on line 21 Mail could not be sent...

Would my local machines restrictions be stopping the mail function from communicating with the SMTP server??

Cheers

In windowsxp do the following:

Start -> Run

Open: cmd

At the shell type:

telnet x.x.x.x 25 <---- x.x.x.x being the smtp server

If you get a prompt then you have other issues such as relay etc etc

I can't connect to anything via telnet whether its my works SMTP server or another external server.

My works SMTP mail server was the first one I tried (this would be logical). I have tried my own personal website mail server and that fails too.

This is why I am thinking that its my computer restrictions.

Couple of suggestions:

1) Try connection to the SMTP server manually with Telnet, and see if you discover more that way

2) Simply use the same SMTP server that is configured in your mail client at work

It should say "port 25". If it's just a typo in your message, then it could either be the restrictions or a general network problem--I know this sounds stupid, but can you connect *at all* to anything else--ie. a website?

In order to send mail on your mail client you must be able to connect to port 25 on what is listed as your smtp server, otherwise you couldn't send mail. Is your system set up to use an IMAP server of some kind like exchange or the like. That may be what your system uses as a mail transport.

I thought autocompletion would help you _avoid_ silly mistakes. For example, defining $varName then trying to use $varname when you really meant to use $varName.

I am working with sessions, and following an example in a book and am getting an error that I am not sure of. I have an html doc that has the fields for username and password and the information entered goes to this script.

$connection = mysql_connect( 'localhost', 'username', 'password' ) or die (mysql_error()); $db = mysql_select_db( "database", $connection) or die (mysql_error());

$query = "select * from users where username='$username' and password=('$password')"; $result = mysql_query($query); $num = mysql_num_rows($result); if ($num > 0 ) { $valid_user = $_POST[username]; session_register("valid_user"); }

Well, you're not necessarily doing anything wrong -- as the warning says, your script *possibly* relies on...

What's happened is that in version 4.3.0, a bug in session variable handling was fixed -- but the fix changes the way session variables behave in certain situations, and PHP has detected that you *may* have coded in a way that is sensitive to those changes. If you understand the issues (and I'm not 100% sure I do!) and are *sure* you're not relying on them, then you can set the session.bug_compat_* values in php.ini as specified.

The best way of avoiding this error, however, is to drop the use of session_register() and friends, and switch to using the $_SESSION[] array -- so the fragment of code I've left in above would become:

if ($num > 0 ) { $_SESSION['valid_user'] = $_POST['username']; }

// PHP script to create the html for the login page if (isset($_SESSION["valid_user"]))

Cheers!

Mike

You didn't really explain the problem well, but I think this is what you're looking for http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-data-seek.php Reset the pointer before the while loop and the names should list of all of the select boxes.

It's /real/ hard to tell when you don't give any context or otherwise explain what it is you want to achieve. Since the code in fact executes correctly, we can only explain what's going on in your code, not why it doesn't work for your needs ...

You while() loop runs through a mysql result set in its entirety the first time through the foreach() loop and leaves the result pointer at the end of the result set. All subsequent runs of the while() loop will start fetching results from the end of $show_names ... and get /nothing/.

If you want to use all the results out of $show_names again, you have to reset the result pointer to the beginning of $show_names. Use mysql_data_seek(). http://php.net/mysql_data_seek, and see below.

> foreach($desc as $key=>$value) { > printf("Show %s Description <select name='show%sDesc'>", $key, $key); > echo "<option value = ''></option>"; > while($row = mysql_fetch_row($show_names)) { > printf("<option value='%s'>%s</option>", $row[0], $row[1]); > } if( mysql_num_rows( $show_names ) > 0 ){ mysql_data_seek( $show_names, 0 ); } > echo "</select><br>"; > }

I would do it like this:

$posted = base64_encode(serialize($_POST))); echo '<input type="hidden" name="posted" value="'.$posted.'">';

on the receiving end you need:

$posted = unserialize(base64_decode($_POST['posted']));

Hi all,

Has anyone got a function or regexp floating around that will convert behave like htmlspecialchars() or htmlentities() (eg converting & to &, " to &quote;, etc etc) BUT NOT DESTROY HTML TAGS?

Eg:

"hello" said <a href="fred.php">Fred</a> & Judy

should become:

"hello" said <a href="fred.php">Fred & Judy

NOT: "hello" said <a href="fred.php">Fred & Judy

????

I guess it's stripped down or limited version of htmlspecialchars() or htmlentities().

How can I detect if my PHP script is about to time-out?

I would like to be able to detect a time-out and display a page with an appropriate error message "i.e. the server is busy now, please try again later".

attached mail follows:

This is a fairly simple one if both the server and browser obey the specs:

Set up output buffering on your page then if the page times out the buffer should be sent to the browser and that is loaded with your message.

PSEUDO CODE:

start output buffering put into buffer the required message start building actual page in a string behind the scenes fork--> page times out the buffer is sent out --> page ends properly ... clear the buffer and output the string you built

Ok. Is there another solution?

The reason I ask is that in order to use your solution I would need to redesign my pages (quite a few of them).

I was hoping to be able to do something like this:

if (timeout()) include("try_again.html");

Thanks,

attached mail follows:

You want a call back method for timeout none avail.

- auto append won't work - register shutdown won't work

I don't know of another solution right now.

Nice!

So if I understand correctly I need to:

1- register a shutdown function 2- have this function check if it was called b/c of a conection_timeout() 3- And if so have the function print out my timeout error message

So in my script I could put something like this:

<?php function timeout_message() { if ( connection_timeout() ) { echo "server busy, try again later"; } }

register_shutdown_function('timeout_message');

[rest of my script goes here ...]

If the script timesout then my error function is called. Is that about right?

attached mail follows:

Issue... as I said before the register shutdown won't work because:

- output from the shutdown is not visible nor do you have access to some variables

Result: no message as you wanted to show to the client.

attached mail follows:

You can try that code. It looks like connection_timeout() is deprecated, however. You should probably use connection_aborted() and connection_status()

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.connection-status.php http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.connection-aborted.php

Read the user notes in connection_aborted, there appear to be issues to take into account.

Take care, Greg

You are right. From the manual:

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.register-shutdown-function.php

" The registered shutdown functions are called after the request has been completed (including sending any output buffers), so it is not possible to send output to the browser using echo() or print(), or retrieve the contents of any output buffers using ob_get_contents()."

That's no good ...

There definitely should be a function that gets called (or can be registered) when a script times out ... A time-out indicates an error on my end (the server) and I would like to be able to detect it and take action ...

If the is no way to do this then PHP is lacking. I'd definitely ask for this to be implemented ;)

attached mail follows:

There is one last option ... register an output buffer as I suggested before suggested but this time do the reverse and you don't have to rewrite your scripts:

<?php

ob_start('scriptTimeout');

// set to 1 this should show the error below set to 2 and above you should get the normal output!! set_time_limit(1);

function scriptTimeout($buffer) { if (eregi('Maximum execution', $buffer)) { $buffer = 'Server Overloaded!!'; }

return $buffer; }

// // content area //

for ($i = 0; $i < 1000000; $i++) { $output = $i; }

echo 'We are upto a final count of: '.$output;

Please be aware that this will add _some_ load but will solve your issues. You can then add in things like error checking etc etc

Ok I think I understand what you are proposing. I just have one question about your example code.

Where does the string "Maximum execution" come from? Is this output automatically by PHP when a script times out?

Would it be possible to use:

if (connection_status == 2) {}

attached mail follows:

No you can't.. the issue with this is that you need to have error reporting turned on.. so you will need to have more error collecting or removing.

The error is something like: "Fatal error: Maximum execution......" so we are checking for just this in the regex.

This isn't the best for a production env but this is the best I can see considering you don't want to rewrite!!

Ouch. Having error reproting on is definitely not a good thing. But the again it can be set on a page by page basis so I could turn it off in the php.ini file, and turn it on only in those pages where I need to check for a time out.

And it's not that I won't do a re-write it's just that I was hoping for something easy to implement. If a re-write is the only answer then I'll do it of course.

I also posted a feature request asking for a shutdown() type function that can be used to send output back to the browser in the case of a timeout. Hope they'll implement it ;)

Another strange behaviour... When I send the name of the file to be downloaded to this script, it works (still makes a double entry into MySQL though) with GET method but it doesn't work if the file's name is sent with the POST method.

When they first click on the file their browser will make a request for type, size etc then when it display's the dialog box on the screen of the client it will make another request to start the download.

I get around this by putting the session id into the database and if it is double requested within 5 seconds to discard. So you will need to do a select, num_rows then if below 1 insert.

You should be able to get around it also by checking if $_SERVER[REQUEST_METHOD]=='HEAD'

This is vague. What do you mean exactly by captured and made available to internal staff? Do you mean aggregate from somewhere to a central place?

Anyway, news feed compilation and aggregation leads to XML-RDF-RSS.

Regards, Manuel Lemos

attached mail follows:

From the remark about the arrival and departure time scenario, it sounds like you want to show whether the updates occurred and when they began/ended. If this is accurate, you should find out whether the scripts used to populate those databases record that information for the database it is updating. If so you need to create a script that opens each database and queries that data. If they do not record these things you could either modify them to do so or you could have them also connect to a central db that you create to store this collection of data to show beginning and ending of the scripts. I think either way you should store this in your own db. Is this along the lines of what you had in mind?

There is one minor difference that caused a major change in structure of the two scripting language.

PHP offers the isset() function but ASP don't. in a way there are the pros and cons.

For PHP, you can create the whole site in one page, even though that would not be advisable. Because of isset(), you can get input and display output using the same page. However, this would result in security loop holes.

Whereas for ASP, without the isset() keyword, ASP structures are usually made up of at least 2 pages. One for receiving input and the other for display the result, output. This of cos patches the security holes.

In a way, PHP provides a simpler way for programmer. Also, one can chose not to use isset() !!

But ASP only supported on win platforms... =(

as far as isset goes?

function isset(byval checkVar) dim ret if (len(checkVar) > 0) then ret = true else ret = false end if end function

The ONLY thing I can think of that ASP misses that can be done easily in PHP, is dynamic includes, ie:

$code = _GET['code']; include($code.'.php');

the asp inlude equivelent is

and thats handled by the SSI engine before it gets passed over to the ASP engine. So no dynamic includes for ASP.

Ofcourse there are other features that PHP has that ASP does not, and vice versa. Right tool for the job, right tool for the job.

I am trying to use a command line program in Linux using this form:

$result = `/path/prog $arg`;

But this doesn't work as the program is expecting and EOF that never comes.

If I use the program on the command line when I am finished entering all the data I need to hit return and then CTRL-D to give an EOF.

How can I simulate this using the backticks?

Thanks!

If $arg is, what you would enter in the command line, you need to pass it to prog's stdin. You could use `echo "$arg" | /path/prog` for example. If $arg is more that just a single line w/o special characters, you should probably use popen for more control (is it popen in php?...)

attached mail follows:

$result = `echo | /path/prog $arg`;

should work

That didn' work ... don't know why.

Isn't there a way to say echo "EOF"?

There must be a way to specify the ascii or hex value for EOF in an echo statement no?

attached mail follows:

I also tried tried with popen with no success.

$fp = popen('/usr/src/bsfmdk/CCCallServer 2>&1', 'r'); fwrite($fp, $query); $result = fread($fp, 8096); echo "result is <BR>"; echo "$result <BR>";

I get back and empty result string ...

Any more hints?

attached mail follows:

No, there is no such value as far as I know, you may try `/path/prog $arg < somefile`, but I doubt it will be different. What prog is it anyway. If it is passwd, I know this behaves somewhat different, but I think there is still some workaround, you should as at a linux list.

It is a credit card processing program. It is interactive. You can it, type values in hit return, then ctrl-D and it spits out a status code.

If I put all the values in a file I can get the prog to work by doing:

#./prog < filename

It does not take any command line arguments. So I cannot just do "exec prog $args" since the "args" have to be typed in, one value per line (i.e hit return between values) and then on the last line ctrl-D ...

Can anyone think of a way I can get PHP to do this short of writing to a file and the doing "exec 'prog < file_I_wrote'"??

attached mail follows:

I'm at wits end ... I've tried everything from system(), shell_exec(), bacticks, popen() and still no go ...

I even tried writing the data to file first and then doing a system("./prog 2>&1 < ./datafile") and that didn't work either.

I know that it shoudl work b/c if from the command line I issue the same command (using the file created by PHP) it works fine.

Can anyone offer advice on why I can't get PHP to execute this external program?

Thanks!

Ok, found the problem. The external program I was trying to run is only happy is it is called from the same directory as the one it resides in. I guess it needs to access files in it's directory and by calling from php somehow it gets confused as to where to files are.

What about transactions ? In all the discussion noone points that PostgreSQL uses them. Maybe noone uses transactions so they have no matter.

I do not think opendir() or readdir() quarantees any sort. You where lucky rather you got dirs in the time order. You should use filemtime() or something like this to sort dirs.

Hello,

I've just installed PHP 4.3.0. The 4.0.6 was installed before. With the new version, in safe mode, the 'file_exists' function produce this warning:

Warning: file_exists() [function.file-exists]: SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose uid is 302 is not allowed to access /full/path/to/file.gif owned by uid 301 in /full/path/to/script.php on line 12

I did not have this problem with version 4.0.6.

Please help me!

Thank you,

Emmanuel.

Have you checked your php.ini for a safe mode setting to true/on ??

Of course yes. I tried to use the safe_mode_gid directive too. Without any effect.

Hi folks,

I've seen a lot phpinfo() on different platforms, different PHP versions with different web servers. Always the content of $_SERVER is different. i.e PHP4.3.0 on win32 with Apache2 doesn't show PATH_TRANSLATED and HTTP_REFERER. someone knows how to get a consitent content of $_SERVER? Or where and how can I configure my system to see the above?

thanks in advance

You did not see HTTP_REFERER likely because there was none

The contents of $_SERVER is provided by the webserver and hence the differences between versions and platforms. There's nothing that you can do about it.

Hmmm. What does it mean? Is PHP deciding at runtime which variable in $_SERVER have to be filled? PATH_TRANSLATED should always be filled because you always have a path where your script is located. Also HTTP_REFERER because in easiest case you refering on the same script at localhost (I guess).

but there must be a way which causes differences. I've searched the net and found a page which shows phpinfo(); and this was the same versions of php, webserver and os and the PATH_TRANSLATED was setted, but not on my server.

There isn't anything PHP can do about this, all it can do is return what the server sends. Browsers, firewalls and proxies can all decide to hide information from you.
