I hope this relates -- I use the code below as a "force frame", placing it
at the top of all content pages as an include. (In my case info.php posts to
index.php, which allows any content page that's called directly to be
returned in a frameset.)

<?
$path_array = explode("/", "$REQUEST_URI");
$page_name = array_pop($path_array);
?>
<script language="JavaScript">

</script>

Try creating an index on the field you want it ordered by

Then don't use LOAD DATA INFILE if it's not working for you. Write a PHP script to read each line of the file and insert it. Yes, it'll be a little slower, but then you could also add an auto_increment or timestamp field that'll keep track of how things were inserted...

Even then, do note that once you start deleting records your carefully ordered tables will soon have to be re-ordered.

The trick is to wrap array references in curly braces inside double quoted strings.

// some data $array['one'] = 'one'; $array['two'] = 'two'; // build the sql $sql = "INSERT into table (field1,field2) values('{$array['one']}','{array['two']}'";

Hi,

I'm having trouble designing a good html-form/MySQL combination for an access rights system.

I'm having three tables in MySQL: members (with member information for my site), albums (with information for separate albums with digital photos on my site) and accessrights (which should function as a "bridge" between members and albums, controling which albums a specific member could view).

accessrights is defined by the following:

CREATE TABLE accessrights ( albumid INT, userid INT, access ENUM("Y","N") DEFAULT "N" NOT NULL, UNIQUE (albumid, userid) );

albumid is from the albums table, and userid from the members table. For each member/album combination I want accessrights to contain one entry with access set to either Y or N.

So far everythings alright. But how do I build a system that lets me control the entries in accessright?

Right now, I'm trying with a form for album editing which contains something like this:

db_connect($dbuser, $dbpassword, $dbdatabase); $query = "SELECT userid FROM members"; $result = mysql_query($query); while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { echo($row[0]); ?> <INPUT TYPE="checkbox" name="<?php echo($row[0])?>" VALUE="YES"> }

This creates a checkbox for every member on my site. But the problem is that only checked boxes are passed on to the next script, which process the form for album-editing. This means that if I uncheck a box that's been checked before, this information isn't passed along.

From what I understand, information about unchecked boxes is never passed?

Right now, my solution is to first set the field access in the table accessrights to N for every user and then update the table with an Y for those with checked boxes.

But how can I limit the MySQL queries to just include members for which the access field has been changed?

You may want to have a look at this:

http://phpgacl.sourceforge.net

It seems to provide a very comprehensive system for setting and controlling access rights.

Use an 's' modifier.

Quote: If this modifier is set, a dot metacharacter in the pattern matches all characters, including newlines. Without it, newlines are excluded. This modifier is equivalent to Perl's /s modifier. A negative class such as [^a] always matches a newline character, independent of the setting of this modifier.

Example: preg_match("!<tag>(.*)</tag>!s",$string,$matches);

Major security question:

I manage a shared Linux web server running PHP 4.2.3. Apache must have read permissions on a php file necessary for a web application. For example a conf.php file containing a MySQL password that is stored outside the web directory:

-rw-r----- 1 q apache 3522 Oct 17 06:39 conf.php

Because this file is readable by apache, ANY user on the server can write the following script:

<? print_r(file('/home/q/conf.php')); ?>

which upon execution the conf.php file will be read by apache and exposed to the user.

Example understood?

How can a file be secured so it can still be used by apache, but inaccessable by any other user? Is there a PHP ini configuration to force apache to run as the user that is the owner of the php files being executed?

Either turn on safe_mode or use the CGI instead of the module.

Hi, As a novelty item on a website I have made a few lines of code for showing how in hours minuts and secoinds since the server was booted up (using C:\php\php.exe -q E:\...\set_boot_time.php value under the Run section in the Windows Registry.). The system by running a script at bootup that sets the time() value to an empty a file called 'boot.time'. All the website has to do then is access the 'boot.time' file and obtain the value. Subtract the 'boot.time' value from the time() value and there you have it, the rest is just formating. This method works perfectly adiquatly. I was just wondering is there is an easyer way to achieve this?

Anyone know of one.

the last i knew it could be done and all i needed to do was make the file put the definitions in it and then put: include("filename.inc"); at the top of the page..is this right or is there more to it than that?

Yes.

Not really.

I just don't understand, it would have been _far_ easier for you to test it for yourself by writing a single-line file to init a variable, then a two-line file to include 1st file and display variable, than to have posted to the list.

Pretty much. Only addition is to make sure filename.inc can't be viewed through the browser.

Hey Guys,

I am looking for a quick way to do form validation using $_SESSION variables and MD5, but my brain is mush and my logic is all botched.

Heres the scoop...

I am using 3 $_SESSION variables to test for MD5. 1. $_SESSION["MD5_OLD"] 2. $_SESSION["MD5_NEW"] 3. $_SESSION["MD5_VALID"]

$_SESSION["MD5_NEW"] is rebuilt with each form submission based on 3 other $_SESSION variables.

Code block follows....

// If NOT set set to zero if (!(isset($_SESSION["MD5_NEW"]))) { $_SESSION["MD5_NEW"] = 0; } // If NOT set set to zero if (!(isset($_SESSION["MD5_OLD"]))) { $_SESSION["MD5_OLD"] = 0; } // If NOT set set to zero if (!(isset($_SESSION["MD5_VALID"]))) { $_SESSION["MD5_VALID"] = 0; }

// If var3 is set, build MD5_NEW if (isset($_SESSION["var3"])) { $_SESSION["MD5_NEW"] = $_SESSION["var1"].$_SESSION["var2"].$_SESSION["var3"]; }

if ( md5($_SESSION["MD5_NEW"]) == md5($_SESSION["MD5_OLD"])) { echo "No Changes to MD5"; } else { echo "MD5 has CHANGED!<BR>"; $_SESSION["MD5_NEW"] = $_SESSION["MD5_VALID"]; }

$_SESSION["MD5_OLD"] = $_SESSION["MD5_VALID"];

// End Code block

Ok, so where is the err in my logic since I know there is one, because after var3 is set I keep getting "MD5 has changed", or I just don't understand the proper use of MD5, most likely both :)

Thanks Chris

You always set MD5_OLD to MD5_VALID, which is never changed since initialized. In other word, both always contain the value "0".

You are always setting MD5_NEW, regardless if var1 or var2 have changed, just to the fact that var3 is set. It's very likely that your test never succeeds (except by chance that var1.var2.var3 result in "0".

Not via mail(). You may want to try this class for composing and sending messages that comes with a wrapper function named smtp_mail() that emulates the mail() function except that it send the message through a SMTP server of your choice letting you specify the authentication credentials as you need:

The script has to be executable by the web server user, i.e. "nobody" or "wwwrun" or the like. See "ps auxw|grep httpd" to find out how this special user is named on your system. If your program is not owned by the web server user, you can either use "chown" (as root) to change the owner of the script, or "chmod" to make it "world"-executable.

The following code loops through a multidimensional array, printing the subject heading and then the strand:

Since you already know $subjectx (English or Math), then just use that value in your foreach() loop...

Foreach($strandx[$subjectx] as $strandy)

Where $subjectx would come from your form. Provide some validation first.

So something like this:

//Many ways to do this, just validate //whatever is coming from your form //matches a key in $strandx switch($_POST['subject']) { case "English" $subject = "English" break; default: $subject = "Mathematics"; break; }

print " <ol><li><b>".$subject."</b>.<br />\n"; foreach( $strandx[$subject] as $strandy ) { print " <ul>\n"; asort($strandy ); // sorts the strands foreach( $strandy as $str ) { print "<li>"; checkbox("fstrand[]",$subjectx,$str,0,0); print "</li>\n"; } print " </ul>\n"; } print "</li></ol>\n";

All arrays in PHP are associative; we sometimes use integers to refer to them, but the order of the array internally is not necessarily the same as the integers; indeed, any array can have "holes" in them. So the question is moot.

It would help if we knew what Web server, but I will assume Apache and hope for the best.

Locate your httpd.conf file, and add index.php to the DirectoryIndex directive. Restart (or better, kill -1) Apache.

John created this wonderful FFDB in PHP, and I was wondering if there are plans to include his FFDB in the next PHP release. I mean, has there been any discussion about adding FFDB as the default database for those who don't have access to a real SQL database. I think adding FFDB support would enhance PHP's popularity.

Where can I find good guidelines on how to write PHP-code that's easy to read for a human?

One resource I've found valuable is the PHP Coding Standard at http://utvikler.start.no/code/php_coding_standard.html

To quote the introduction:

The PHP Coding Standard is with permission based on Todd Hoff's C++ Coding Standard. Rewritten for PHP by Fredrik Kristiansen / DB Medialab, Oslo 2000-2001.

There are many other resources available as well, you should be able to find good information if you do a google search for PHP Coding Standard, or take a look at the Pear requirements at http://pear.php.net.

it is also good idea to separate html from the code, for instance by using some template engine.

Coding style is a very personal issue, one codes the way he/she likes. But, for keeping the maintenance easier, K&R style (named after Kernighan and Ritchie - the Linux fathers) would probably be the best. I (personally) prefer it quite a lot, without much modifications.

Here are a few references for K&R:

Newbie question and OT. Sorry.

I am able to conncet to a mysql server with the following call to mysql_connect(). $connect=mysql_connect("","","");

There are no parameters in the function call.

Why can I connect if there are no parameters?

However, if I give mysqladmin the password of: goodpassword

and call:

$connect=mysql_connect("localhost","root","goodpassword");

I connect.

But if I call: $connect=mysql_connect("localhost","root","badpassword");

I cannot connect.

Or from the command line...

From the command line: C:\Windows\cd c:\mysql\bin \\enter

C:\mysql\bin> mysqld-shareware --standalone \\enter

C:\mysql\bin> mysql \\enter note: no password have been entered.

\\ I get the: Welcome to the MySql monitor... ............................... Or...

C:\Windows\cd c:\mysql\bin \\enter

C:\mysql\bin> mysqld-shareware --standalone \\enter

C:\mysql\bin> mysql -u root - p \\ enter

Enter password goodpassword \\ I get the: Welcome to the MySql monitor...

............................ C:\Windows\cd c:\mysql\bin \\enter

C:\mysql\bin> mysqld-shareware --standalone \\enter

C:\mysql\bin> mysql -u root - p \\ enter Enter password badpassword \\ I do _not_ get the: Welcome to the MySql monitor... ........................

Why is this when I thought it needs a password to connect to the MySql monitor? Thanks, TR

Hi all,

I just finished loading the OS to my PC once again, installed and configured IIS and then installed PHP 4 but now, every page I try to open tells me:

Failed opening required '/icaam7/lib/stdlib.php' (include_path='.;c:\php4\pear')

even when my php.ini (under Windows folder) tells me that the include_path is:

include_path = ".;c:\php\includes;/"

and no matter how I change this line in php.ini, the include_path appears to be set ONLY to c:\php4\pear

Any ideas on how to change that??? Is there another php.ini file around?

Make a php file with nothing but this in it....

<?php

phpinfo();

...and hit that in your browser. It will tell you the location of the ini that it is using.

i have a listbox: <select name="users"> <?php //connect to db and get query mysql_connect("....."); mysql_select_db("..."); $query=mysql_query("select username from users); /*finish the listbox*/ while($account=mysql_fetch_array($query)){ echo "<option value=$account[username]>$account[username]<br>"; } ?> </select> <input type="submit" value="send">

got it to fill listbox with usernames.. now my question is how do you use the $users variable in the php script that deals with the listbox? iat this point all i wanted to do was print the user name that was selected in the listbox but after i get how that works then it will load a form with all user data in it so it can be changed..

This is good. I've always liked things like this:

$query="SELECT ..."; if ($result=mysql_query($q)) { $sel[$user]=" selected"; print "<select name='users'>\n"; while ($row=mysql_fetch_array($result)) { printf(" <option value='%s'%s>%s</option>\n", $row['id'], $sel[$row['id']], $row['text']); } print "</select>\n"; }
