Honestly, do you read the error messages or do you just post them to the
list? You need to stop using us for the easy answer and do a little
looking yourself. For example... when I see that error, I'm going to ask
my self "why is PHP thinking ab is a constant?" Do I mean it to be a
constant? If so, I must of forgot to define() it somewhere. If it's not
supposed to be a constant, what is it supposed to be? An integer... well
a and b don't make very good integers, so probably not. It's supposed to
be a string, right? So why is PHP thinking it's a constant? At this
point, if I didn't know what was going on, I'd go to the manual and read
the chapter on variable types and the sections on constants and
strings... to learn what the difference is. I'll guarantee that if you
actually read those sections, you'd realize... on your own... (imagine
that) that strings have to be surrounded by quotes... either single or
double (the section will even explain the difference). So now you'd know
the answer, you found it yourself, you maybe learned a few other things
as you read, and I bet you would have gotten your answer a lot faster
than waiting for answers on a mailing list...

As Justin suggested "Start ruling them out, one at a time". You've ruled out
one (number of files). Now figure out whether it's the size. Upload
successfully larger files until it fails (or otherwise).

Ok now I am able to send the request. I set the post_max_size into 50M and now when the request is sent the whole apache goes down giving: "The document containd no data" everytime I send a request. I tried also 10M but same happens. What the h**l is this?

Do you have this line in your form?

and is it set to a value greater than the size of all the files you're trying to upload? Some browers actually pay attention to this.

No affect. Still gives the "The document contains no data".

The upload form: (There are ofcourse many of of the first three inputs.) <form action='$PHP_SELF' method='POST' enctype='multipart/form-data'>

And the php part:

$number_of_files = count($_FILES['userfile']); for ($i=0; $i < $number_of_files; $i++) { if ($_FILES['userfile']['size'] !== 0) { $namename= "$uartist[$i]-$usong[$i].mp3"; $file=$_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'][$i]; if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'][$i], "/mp3/$namename")) { print "<tr><td>File $namename upload and rename succesful!</td></tr>"; } } else { print "<tr><td>You have to upload some files!</td></tr>"; } }

You're saying you're only uploading 10K total... for all of the files. If the browser is respecting this, and you're trying to upload more than 10K, then it could not upload anything and you get your error.

If it was a PHP issue, it seems like you'd get an error or warning from PHP, not from the web server (which is where "document contains no data" would come from, I assume?)

I assume here should be <input class='form' type='file' size='25' name='userfile[]'>

$number_of_files will be 5 if any number of files is uploaded, cause you count $_FILES['userfile']['size'], $_FILES['userfile']['name'], $_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], $_FILES['userfile']['error'] and $_FILES['userfile']['type'] You can count $_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'] instead

> > for ($i=0; $i < $number_of_files; $i++) > { > if ($_FILES['userfile']['size'] !== 0)

use $_FILES['userfile']['size'][$i] here

Please don't perpetuate this urban legend :-)

_Not_ having that line has no effect on uploads (ie does NOT prevent uploads).

However _having_ that line _may_ prevent uploads.

Thus if you have trouble with uploads then you should NOT have that line. As most browsers don't give a monkey about that line there is no reason to have it, period.

That 10 k is not the right value that I had. I had 100000 but just edited it and it changed when I pasted it here. So that is not the proglem.

After all these changes it still doesn't work =(...

You don't even have a "file" form element, or an element named "userfile" so your FOR loop will never run...

assume that $filedata holds the data you want to attach the encoding can done in many ways, so read the headers carefully

Hello Everyone

This might be slightly offtopic since I'm not sure its php related but.... I'm working on a script where some inputdata is taken for further processing. For validation purposes I want to make sure certain chars are not part of the input. Basically stuff like $ * :; etc...

So I'm using ereg(pattern, input) to see if the pattern matches or not.

Example

if(ereg($pattern, $input)) { // do allowed stuff } else { // do something for the illegal input } SO for exclusion I build the following pattern [^$] and pass it to ereg above. So if the input includes a $ the ereg should return false and the processing shouldn't take place.

Well the thing is for $pattern = '[^$]' it doesn't work. Input including '$' is still passed to the allowed stuff code block. So am I doing something wrong or is there a problem with the character coding of my editor

BtW I'm using W2K with PHP 4.1.x Apache 1.3.X and TextPad 4.x for editing. I save my scripts as ANSI format. Meaning only legal ASCII Characters + German extended code page.

Can anybody help me?

I also tried [^a] as a pattern but the input can contain a and slip through.

Input including >'$' is still passed to the allowed stuff code block. I remember something like $ had to be double escaped like \\$

attached mail follows:

Can I make a suggestion?

I tend to look at the issue of user input the other way around... rather than excluding things I don't think I want, I choose in allow things I *DO* want... so instead of saying a username shouldn't contain !#$%^&*()_+-=<>?":';, I say it should contain a-zA-Z0-9_-.

This means that I allow what I trust, rather than assuming I can think of every possible "bad" character the user might choose.

<? // a-zA-Z0-9_ are valid in this case if(preg_match("/^[a-zA-Z0-9_]*$/", $username)) { // good } else { // bad } ?>

To answer your question, (and i've got ZERO experience with regexp's, and the above regexp was written for me by someone on this list!) is that you need to escape some characters, like a $ sign, with a \.

Cheers,

Justin

Hi to all! I'm working at a simple script that let me upload files in a Intranet. The problem is that these files are videos, so really big (in the order of Gbytes). I think that HTTP upload doesn't fit to solve this problem so I thought about FTP. Can you tell me what do you think about this? What are the maxsizes given for HTTP and FTP in the RFC (don't care about php.ini)? HTTP maxfilesize == 2Gb is it correct? Do you think is better developing a simple application with C++Builder?

Thanks for your attention, Evan

Thanks for the welcome! And naturally, I need help. :-)

I am just learning PHP, although I have taken programming classes in C and am a little familiar with writing small scripts.

My husband wrote a simple PHP script for a client of ours, which I have the pleasure of fine-tuning, the idea being to get me to learn PHP.

Well, the script doesn't do what it should, and neither I nor even my husband can figure out why. Hopefully, someone here can guide us as to what we are doing wrong. :-)

Basically, all the script does (or should do) is build an e-mail to a client based on a set of variables defined by the user, using an HTML form. It is also supposed to warn the user with a "print" message whenever a variable is missing. The form is at the following address: http://www.swedishengineering.com/newsite/requestresponse.html

I've saved the script in text format so that you can look at, it is located at the following address: http://www.swedishengineering.com/newsite/requestresponse.rtf

The errors are as follows:

When the customer's e-mail is omitted, a print message should appear, to the effect of "Hey, you need to specify the e-mail!". However, when the e-mail is omitted *and* one of the options is clicked, the message does not appear, but rather, the user gets re-directed to the index page.

When the "Parts" option is chosen, but no parts are indicated, a print message should appear to let the user know that a part number needs to be entered. However, the script bypasses this and builds the e-mail anyway.

I hope this makes sense and would greatly appreciate any help.

Thanks!!

Julie

If your code isn't humungous then you should include it (inline, not as an attachment) with your post. There are many reasons why people would not click on a link to see your code (laziness, or fear of being social-engineered to spread the latest MS-related exploit etc).

If your code _is_ humungous, then a link might be appropriate and note saying _why_ you're posting a link would be nice.

Also, your intent to make the code look pretty(?) by converting to RTF seems misguided. Stick to plain-text.

It's good you that you explain what you're trying to do, and what you expect the program to do, and what actually happens instead. (Some people just say "here's my code, it doesn't work, what's wrong?" -- or words to that effect)

However it would make more sense if we could see some code :)

Hi John,

The variables are coming from a form, located at:

http://www.swedishengineering.com/newsite/requestresponse.html

I don't know what version of PHP or if the global variables are on or off. I would have to ask the client who their provider is and contact them. I'm guessing you're asking me this because you don't see anything wrong with the script's logic?

Well, one of the most common problems encountered here is forms / global variables. The form on your page is using the post method, so chances are, you need to reference your variables by the global post array, ie

$_POST['custemail'] $_POST['request_type'] etc.

Instead of $custemail and $request_type. If the form is using the get method (or any time variables are being passed in the URL), you'll want to use the global get array, ie

$_GET['some_variable'] $_GET['anoter_variable']

Then there's the global request array which will get all types passed to the page, ie.

$_REQUEST['some_variable']

You may want to take a look here for a better explanation of variables and scope...

Hiya, I have nearly finished a project I am working on, and completely forgot about having a newsletter service! Basically its a website, and on the registration page people opt in or out of the newsletter, and this is a field in the database.

So either once a week, or randomly I want to be able to send a newsletter to about a million people (hopefully if all goes to plan).

What I did envisage was running a PHP script through the command line, which got the first 100 or so which wanted the newsletter, then the next 100 etc, till all the users who wanted the newsletter got it. Now my Linux is a bit hazy, but I think I can run this low priority, because Iam not bothered if it will take a day or so to send them all.

Sommat like this:

1- Read the first 100 emails that want the newsletter 2- Email them

3- If read 100, then go to 1 (but start from 100), if not quit

So basically my questions are:

1- Is this the best way? Or should I use some mailing list software? I do want them to subsribe/unsubsribe through the website

2- Is there a point when the script would time out? I know in Apache, u can set a time limit for a script, but would a command line PHP script have the same problem? Ihave never run PHP through the command line.

Thanks a lot, any advive or links would be great...

Oh yeh nearly forgot, although it will be hosted on Linux, it will be tested on Windows 2k, so hopefully the mehtod would work for Win 2k but this is not necessary...

I think the best way to prove whether you have mysql support or not would be to look at the output of phpinfo(). If this does not show mysql support then you will need to recompile php with it. Is this a standard RH 8.0 installation or have you modified it?

I've got a folder with about 100 jpg files and a menu which a link to each one.

Works fine but looks crude. Obviously, the image shows as a default on a white background, located in the upper left.

I'd like to spiffy up the appearance with a background color and centering the image. [e.g. with a simple html file or whatever]

I would prefer to not to redo the menu file or the jpgs.

Was hoping there would be a way to do this similar to the Apache HeaderName directive for folder listings.

I tried in the htaccess file:

IndexOptions +FancyIndexing AddDescription "test text" *.jpg

But this doesn't even show the the test text.

Hey, thx for your speech

In a matter of fact, I have 2 books about PHP and all they say about the unlink function (I use it in my upload system) is that it is suposed to force the delete of the temporary file that it is created during the upload process.

So, i was never thinking that the unlink fuction was able to do it.

Hey all,

Here's the situation. I'm on a server running FreeBSD and Apache 2. Someone else installed both. There is software that is running on this server, that I'm sure is dependent on certain options being compiled into Apache.

I'm trying to install PHP on the server to make life a little easier with some scripting. I don't think SO is compiled into Apache and that obviously keeps me from compiling PHP as an apache mod.

But if I complile apache and don't include options that are needed for the software, I'll obviously break the software.

So my question is, is there a way to see what options are compiled into Apache, so that if I recompiled it, I could make sure to include the current options that are compiled now? Thanks in advance everyone!

Hi everyone!

I'm having a severe session problem. I'm having a file called createjpg.php that creates a jpg-image and returns it as a picture, with the correct header. This file is included on another php-file like this:

What I need the file createjpg.php to do is to check wether or not the user is logged in and if she is so, she should be able to see some other picture or something that will be processed in the file createjpg.php when it executes.

The problem is that since the file createjpg.php is'nt loaded in the browser as and ordinary file, it doesnt recognizes the session variable… I think it's because that the web server loads it or something like that and it does not know that a session variable belongs to the user who loaded the file with the img scr on…

Please, help! How can I overcome this?

Configure your Web server to treat .html files as PHP. This has been discussed before, so there are probably some examples in the archives of how to do this.

When a browser requests an image, the request is identical to a request for any other resource, be it a .html file or a .php script. It will send cookies, URL variables (if they are in the src attribute as your example shows), and anything else that a normal request includes.

Instead of trying to tell us what the problem is, just explain what trouble you are having. We can then tell *you* what the problem is.

Ok, first I have the function

session_start();

function return_session_raettighet($session = null) { if ( isset($session) ) { return $session; } else { return 0; } }

I ask this function to return the value of a specifik session, that is, if the user is logged in the value is at least 10.

Then I perform

if(return_session_raettighet($HTTP_SESSION_VARS["session_raettighet"]) < 10) { ImageAlphaBlending($img_des, true); $im_copy = imagecreatefrompng(const_picture_dir . "/copyright.png"); $copy_imgsize = GetImageSize(const_picture_dir . "/copyright.png"); $copyxloc = (($imgwidth + (2*$kant))/2)-($copy_imgsize[0]/2); $copyyloc = (($imgheight + (2*$kant))/2)-($copy_imgsize[1]/2); imagecopy($img_des, $im_copy,$copyxloc,$copyyloc,0,0,$copy_imgsize[0], $copy_imgsize[1]); }

And this fails… Don't know why because the same code works on other pages…

Is it possible to pass an group of input boxes of the same name, then get the values of all the checked boxes or filled out textboxes? How do I get ALL the IDs passed. Right now it only passes the last ID. Do I really have to give them all unique names?

<html> <head> </head> <body> <form action="testform.php" method="post"> <input type="checkbox" value="0" name="DeleteIDs"></input> Jon Smith<br> <input type="checkbox" value="1" name="DeleteIDs"></input> David Callow<br> <input type="checkbox" value="2" name="DeleteIDs"></input> Peter Parker<br> . . . <input type="submit" value="Delete Users"> </form> </body> </html>

This list of DeleteIDs will be build dynamically. I want the user to be able to check the boxes they want to delete and pull the IDs on the posted page.

How do I get ALL the IDs passed. Right now it only passes the last ID.

attached mail follows:

Change the name of your checkboxes in your HTML to something like:

name="DeleteIDs[]"

This will make it an array, and you can access all the elements like

$_POST['DeleteIDs'][0]

etc.

(This should really be in a FAQ somewhere...)

Using arrays with forms is in a faq: http://www.php.net/manual/en/faq.html.php#faq.html.arrays

How do you feel this should be expanded? Mentioning that unchecked checkboxes do not pass values, and that the default value is 'on' (if checked) ... would be good too.

I remember posting some information on this topic in the past: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general&m=101142826821051 http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general&m=98576486229922

Anyway, I agree, just not sure if there should be one specific faq for each form type, such as checkboxes or select boxes or... Ideally one faq would explain it for all types, checkboxes or otherwise. Making it short/concise and understandable for all user levels (such as newbies) is the tricky part. Well, actually, the tricky part is convincing people to read faqs :)

What exactly is failing? Do you mean that a user who is not logged in does not see the copyright sign?

If this is so, is the reason because your function is returning a 0 or because the value of your session variable is less than 10? I do not understand why you are checking to make sure it is at least 10, but maybe the sessions are working fine, and your logic needs a bit of tuning.

Hi everyone,

Well, after much debugging, turns out it was the "isset" command that was causing all the problems. By simply removing that, everything started working properly.

Thanks to everyone for their input!

$_POST['custemail'] $_POST['request_type'] etc.

Instead of $custemail and $request_type. If the form is using the get method (or any time variables are being passed in the URL), you'll want to use the global get array, ie

$_GET['some_variable'] $_GET['anoter_variable']

Then there's the global request array which will get all types passed to the page, ie.

$_REQUEST['some_variable']

You may want to take a look here for a better explanation of variables and scope...
