FROM THE DESK OF THE DR. RAYMOND IBRU.
STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL AND URGENT
ATTN: THE PRESIDENT/CEO.
PERMISSION TO REMMIT THE SUM OF 26.5MILLION US DOLLARS INTO YOUR ACCOUNT.
With reference to recommendation of your esteemed firm. I do hereby wish to reach you for this urgent business relationship.
Between 1990-1998, I was Chairman of Tneder Board of the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation, which was responsible for the award of contracts, valuation and settle ment of contract proceeds after commissioning of the project, I used my position to inflate a certain contract awarded to an Keyston Joe Petroleum company USA to the tune of $26.5million . The original contract value by $100,000,000 but with the consent of the contrator, we inflated the said value by $26.5million briging the total to $126.5million. The contract has been executed, commissioned and the actual contract of $100million value has been paid to the contractor leaving behind the inflated sum of $26.5million. But we could not claim this fund during the military regime.
The fact that we are prohibited by law from operating a foreign account as civil servants, we solicit your kind assistance in claiming the over-invoiced value of $26.5million be rest assured that there is no form of risk involved or anti-legal implications as the contract was properly executed and the value fully settled. Being a turnkey project and with such value there is no way any local company or person resident in Nigeria can lay claims to it but, rather someone overseas i.e Europe, America Asia etc.
You will be compensated with 20% of the total of $26.5million if you accept our request to assist us while 70% will be left behind for me and my coleagues. The balance of 10% will be used to offset any expenses incuured during the process of transfer as a result of this transaction.
You arr also required to forward these infomations to me:
a. Your office telephone and fax number including your cell phone where i can reach you at all time for further vital communication regards to the development regards to this transaction.
b. The name of the company that will act as the beneficiary of the payment or your private name and full address.
c. The name and full address of your bank,your account number,account name and the branch code of your bank
This is to enable us seek for approval from the appropriate ministry and top authorities concern with the fund release approval into your norminated account.
Awaiting your response asap and God bless.
Best regards
Dr Raymond Ibru. (PhD)

You should explain what 'exacxtly' your problem is as this is a bit vague....
A lot depends how you have vpopmail setup to do password checking, I
use vpasswd checking and do something like this:

if(!vpopmail_add_user($_POST['uname'],$domain,$_POST['pword'])){
echo 'Failed to add user '.$_POST['uname'].'<br>';
}

If you have a busy site it is better to run the exec command to use
the vpopmail binaries as you may get into file locking problems with
the builtin vpopmail functions (speaking from old experience, YMMV)

I have no knowledge of PLESK, is that what you want to eliminate?

What i do is run vpopmail as the same user as the web server and let
it create the directories for itself and apache like this

/usr/local/apache/domains/domain_name/mail

This is where the vpasswd file lives and the mailboxes

Then I have an apache module (mod_dynvhost http://funkcity.com/0101/projects/dynvhost/README) which looks for

/usr/local/apache/domains/domain_name/www

If that exists it sets it as the document root and away it goes.

I had to hack vpopmail to create the mail dir and the dynvhost so it
would work with domain.com and www.domain.com pointing to one
directory

It also sets an enviroment variable to

/usr/local/apache/domains/domain_name/include

which makes it easy to include files outside of the document root

let me know if you want to play with copies of these

--===========_12007756=_.ALT
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; formatowed

I have a problem with php variables that are set outside an include, being
empty when called inside the include.

in http://ponder.megalion.org/index_photoskin.html I have the following
code (snipped for length)

$mtBlogURL = "http://ponder.megalion.org/";
$rootPath = "/usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/ponder.megalion.org/httpdocs";
if ($skin="") { $skin = "venturaSunset"; }
if ($page="index") { $skinPath = "/mt/skins/"; }
else if ( $page="archive") { $skinPath = "/mt/skins/"; }
else if ( $page="category") { $skinPath = "/mt/skins/"; }
else if ( $page="date") { $skinPath = "/mt/skins/"; }
else if ( $page="individual") { $skinPath = "/mt/skins/"; }
else { $skinPath = "/mt/skins/"; }
include $rootPath."/mt/tmpl/php_functions.php";
include $mtBlogURL.$skinPath.$skin."/header.php";

in /mt/skins/venturaSunset/header.php, I have the following code:

echo "rootPath is ".$rootPath."<br>";
echo "page is ".$page."<br>";
echo "pageTitle is ".$pageTitle."<br>";
?>
<html>
<head>
<title><?=$blogTitle?><?if ($pageTitle!="") { ?> - <?=$pageTitle?><?}?></title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"
href="<?=$mtBlogURL?><?=$skinPath?><?=$skin?>/theme.css">
<SCRIPT src="<?=$skinPath?>rollover.js" TYPE="text/javascript"></SCRIPT>
</head>
<body>
<?=getcwd();?>

The output at the top of the page in the browser is as follows:
rootPath is
page is
pageTitle is
/usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/ponder.megalion.org/httpdocs/mt/skins/venturaSunset

source code:
rootPath is <br>page is <br>pageTitle is <br><html>
<head>
<title></title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/theme.css">
<SCRIPT src="rollover.js" TYPE="text/javascript"></SCRIPT>
</head>

I've been going over this for over 2 hours and I can't find any reason why
the header.php thinks all my variables are empty. I even did a test where I
created http://ponder.megalion.org/test.php that had <? $test = "This is a
test"; include "include.php"; ?> and created also
http://ponder.megalion.org/include.php that simply has <?=$test?> and it
works. The include.php file is able to see php variables set in the calling
file. So why is header.php unable to see variables set in
index_photoskin.html?

Btw I have php processing enabled for html files via the apache config file
but I don't see that making a difference as I copied test.php as test.html
and http://ponder.megalion.org/test.html works just as well as the other.

I'm racking my brain as to what's going on... as some of you may
recognize... this is my installation of the Movable Type blog software and
I'm attempting to make it skinnable.

Thanks

Megalion

Subject: RE: [PHP] disappearing php variables?

Hi,
I was looking at the code that you have given in your mail. The line
<body>
<?=getcwd();?>
suggests that most probably your echo statements

echo "rootPath is ".$rootPath."<br>";
echo "page is ".$page."<br>";
echo "pageTitle is ".$pageTitle."<br>";

are a part of this getcwd(); function. Global variables cannot be recognized
inside functions, until especially declared so. The following may be of some
help to you:

The scope of a variable is the context within which it is defined. For the
most part all PHP variables only have a single scope. This single scope
spans included and required files as well. For example:
$a = 1;[PARA]include "b.inc";[PARA]
Here the $a variable will be available within the included b.inc script.
However, within user-defined functions a local function scope is introduced.
Any variable used inside a function is by default limited to the local
function scope. For example:
[PARA]$a = 1; /* global scope */ [PARA][PARA]Function Test () { [PARA]
echo $a; /* reference to local scope variable */ [PARA]} [PARA][PARA]Test
();[PARA]
This script will not produce any output because the echo statement refers to
a local version of the $a variable, and it has not been assigned a value
within this scope. You may notice that this is a little bit different from
the C language in that global variables in C are automatically available to
functions unless specifically overridden by a local definition. This can
cause some problems in that people may inadvertently change a global
variable. In PHP global variables must be declared global inside a function
if they are going to be used in that function. An example:
$a = 1;[PARA]$b = 2;[PARA][PARA]Function Sum () {[PARA] global $a,
$b;[PARA][PARA] $b = $a + $b;[PARA]} [PARA][PARA]Sum ();[PARA]echo
$b;[PARA]
The above script will output "3". By declaring $a and $b global within the
function, all references to either variable will refer to the global
version. There is no limit to the number of global variables that can be
manipulated by a function.
A second way to access variables from the global scope is to use the special
PHP-defined $GLOBALS array. The previous example can be rewritten as:
$a = 1;[PARA]$b = 2;[PARA][PARA]Function Sum () {[PARA] $GLOBALS["b"] $GLOBALS["a"] + $GLOBALS["b"];[PARA]} [PARA][PARA]Sum ();[PARA]echo
$b;[PARA]
The $GLOBALS array is an associative array with the name of the global
variable being the key and the contents of that variable being the value of
the array element.
Hope this helps you.

Thanks for your reply...

getcwd() isn't a user-defined function in my case. I was using the php
function getcwd() get current working directory as a debug tool to
ascertain where "I" was at that point in the script... clearly the current
working directory had changed from
/usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/ponder.megalion.org/httpdocs/
which is where it should be at the start of the script as it's being called
by index_photoskin.html located in that directory and ends up in
/usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/ponder.megalion.org/httpdocs/mt/skins/venturaSunset
right after the include of the header.php file as the line you were
referring to "echo getcwd()" is located inside it.

Thanks for confirming my expectations on what should be happening... the
variables are not defined within a function and should therefore be
available to header.php (the include) but are not for some strange reason.

I tried changing the line inside the header.php that was trying to output
the $rootPath variable defined in the index_photoskin.html file from :
echo "rootPath is ".$rootPath."<br>";
to
echo "rootPath is ".$GLOBALS["rootPath"]."<br>";

and still no luck. I still get "rootPath is "

Stranger and stranger that my entire $GLOBAL array has virtually
disappeared in the eyes of the header.php include.

Any more ideas?

Subject: RE: [PHP] disappearing php variables?

Hi Megalion,
Since you have asked "Any more ideas?", I am taking a shot in the blind.
In your php.ini file of the server, are the two directives, register_globals
and track_vars enabled. This I am asking because, if both track_vars and
register_globals are enabled, then the global variables and the
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS entries reference the same value. Any by any chance, if
one of your include files has a line of the type:
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS = array() or $GLOBALS ray()
then you can expect your global variables to lose their values, by the time
you echo them in header include file.
If this is not the case, then I am also out of ideas.

Thanks for your reply...

getcwd() isn't a user-defined function in my case. I was using the php
function getcwd() get current working directory as a debug tool to
ascertain where "I" was at that point in the script... clearly the current
working directory had changed from
/usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/ponder.megalion.org/httpdocs/
which is where it should be at the start of the script as it's being called
by index_photoskin.html located in that directory and ends up in
/usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/ponder.megalion.org/httpdocs/mt/skins/venturaSuns
et
right after the include of the header.php file as the line you were
referring to "echo getcwd()" is located inside it.

and still no luck. I still get "rootPath is "

Stranger and stranger that my entire $GLOBAL array has virtually
disappeared in the eyes of the header.php include.

Any more ideas?

Subject: RE: [PHP] disappearing php variables?

EUREKA!!!

I kept dwelling on why the whole $GLOBALS array disappeared within
header.php and it has to do with how I called header.php

At one point in wrestling with writing the proper paths to the includes, I
entered in an absolute path to header.php... since I was using $mtBlogURL
instead of $rootPath ... that meant I was translating from
http://ponder.megalion.org as if it were from a remote site.

Got it all fixed now... thanks Mohit, you made me keep thinking about the
$GLOBALS array which turned out to lead me to the answer!

Subject: problem in fopen

Dear all,

i tried to get some data from a remote website by using fopen().

$data_path = http://www.mysite.com/data.txt";
$fp = fopen ($data_path, "r");

The script works fine if the remove site (http://www.mysite.com/data.txt) is
up and accessible.
However, the script take a very long time to run if the server is down.

Is it possible to add any time constraint in the script such that the
fopen() operation will abort, say, after 10 seconds ?
Or any alternative suggestion?

thx a lot~~~

Try changing default_socket_timeout. See manual > Filesystem functions for

Hi,

How do I store $PHP_SELF into session variable?
I try but only manage to get part of it.

eg. I try to store "edit_status?id79" but when I recall I only get "edit_status"

code: rpage = $PHP_SELF;
session_register("rpage");

thanks

$PHP_SELF doesn't include the get-method data. You would need to either
use $REQUEST_URI or you could append $QUERY_STRING to the end of
$PHP_SELF.

Convert them to timestamps using strtotime() and then just substract one

do print_r($matches);

and you should see what you need.
(You will need to look at the source code of the html page)

Do you not read the responses that you get? I (and someone else) pointed out
that your for statement is incorrect and suggested a correction. Did you not
try it out?

I can't tell you what's wrong but I'm pretty sure that PHP doesn't just ignore
statements. Did you try *any* debugging? Like printing out all the variables
as you go through the for and do loops?

Subject: PHPA causing problems?

I was having frequent "out of memory" errors on my site, and Apache
would randomly quit after one or two days of uptime. After disabling
PHPA, everything seems to be working perfectly. Just did a HEAD request
on another site which is known for errors like this, and sure enough,
the X-accelerated-by header is "PHPA/1.3.3r2". Is there some sort of
misconfiguration in PHPA that causes issues like this, or is it simply a
bad product?

Maybe you are having semaphore leaks. APC had that problem too once in a
while. I think it was being caused by too much Web server restarting.
The solution was remove the lost semaphores by hand with ipcs/ipcrm
commands. That does not mean that PHPA problem is the same. Have you
tried Turck MMCache?

I experienced a similar problem with PHPA 1.3.3r2. Downgrading to 1.3.3r1
helped.

Depends.

In all cases you need to have execute permission on all directories in the
path leading up to (or down to if you prefer) and including the directory
that you're trying to write the file in.

If you're overwriting an existing file (and you have write permission for that
file) then the above is all you need.

If you're writing new files then in addition to the above you also need write
permission for the directory that you're writing the file in.

How about...

// '.' is the concatenation operator

Try array_splice():

array_splice($a, 2, 0, "seltzer");

should do what you want.

Would a simple foreach($_POST as $key=>$val) not be sufficient for your

My advise is to use something about this:

and php script:

foreach ($_POST['vars'] as $key=>$value)
{
print "$key=>$value<br>";
}

this script will print something about

Firstname: Jack
Secondname: Smith
...

Morning folks....

I have seriously fecked up my PHP install on my new server.

This is the error I get when I restart apache:

http://www.sportnetwork.net/httpd_errors.txt

Its so feckin long i had to put it in its own file....

I am bloody lost. I have tried to reinstal, reconfig etc PHP lots of times but
nothing. I thought about reinstalling Apache and starting from scratch but it
was installed using RPMs and when I tried to uninstall it it moaned about 5
other packages needing it so I gave up on that route.

Any ideas folks?

To help the cause here is my httpd.conf file:
http://rack.sportnetwork.net/httpd.conf

And the output from php_info()
http://rack.sportnetwork.net/jontest.php

Your best bet for Apache+PHP is to either stick with an all-RPM installation
or an all-source one. Mixing rpm and source is more trouble than it's worth.
If you're having trouble removing the Apache rpms try asking on the mailing
list for your particular distro.

That's fine - your database is normalised. I'd add

author_paper primary key(author_id, paper_id)

but that's just me.

>php part:

>1. get author_id from author table

What does your SQL statement look like? It sounds like you're doing multiple
SELECTs for each record...

SELECT [attributes of paper], author.author_id
        FROM author, author_paper, paper
        WHERE author.author_id = author_paper.author_id
                AND author_paper.paper_id = paper.paper_id
                AND author.name = "John Smith"

will cover 1, 2 and 3a in a single SQL statement.

Ask someone on a database-specific mailing list, and they'll show you how to
do everything in a single statement (either with a sub-select or a left
outer join[?], depending which DB you use).

I'm having some problems in using php's system calls, (system, exec,
passthru, and even popen) to run the following command.

rexec <machine> ls

That fails with no output. I know what username apache uses to run the php
script, and despite being able to rexec from the command line using that
user id, apache seems to have trouble when it comes to running it self.

Even though I can rexec from the command line I've still confirmed that the
correct username and password are inside the .netrc file, and as a final
confirmation I've checked that no environment variables are set, no -n in
the command line or username and password specified.

Has anyone has been able to get this to work, or knows a little about how
the system call and exec call work inside php that might aid me in getting
this script to work?

Many thanks,

Mostafa

I do something like this in content management systems to create the public
pages. When administrators are satisfied with the look of an updated page
(whatever.php), they generate a new static page (whatever.html):

$src_url = "http://". $SERVER_NAME . "/whatever.php";
$temp_filename = "temp_whatever.html";
$target_filename = "whatever.html";
unlink($temp_filename);
$script_page = fopen($src_url, 'r');
$html_data = fread($script_page, 1024*1024);
fclose($script_page);
$temp_file = fopen($temp_filename, 'w');
fwrite($temp_file, $html_data);
fclose($temp_file);
$ok = copy($temp_filename, $target_filename);
unlink($temp_filename);
if ($ok) { // report success, allow use }

Subject: php4 and apache

Hi, I have php4.2.2/apache/linux. I can use regular php fine, I have
multiple websites written in php that have no problem... but I downloaded
squirrelmail and that was written entirely in php4 and it would not run. I
checked httpd.conf and found nothing in there about php and then I checked
php.ini and also found nothing. I am guessing apache is not configured to
use php4... but I'm a bit lost.

Help?

Thanks,
-Patrick

You would get better help if you asked on the Squirrelmail mailing list.

However before you ask you should read the Squirrelmail installation
instructions (if you haven't already done so) and also the FAQ.

And when you are ready to ask, instead of just saying it doesn't run, you
should state _what happens_ when you (try to) run it.

Subject: Truncated values in update form

I made an update form where I would like to show the values to be updated.
However, the values e.g. $fname and $lname truncate at the first space.
How can I do to show the whole value?
TIA

My code so far is this:

[UPDATE_FORM.PHP]
<?php
// RETRIEVE VALUES FOR THE UPDATE FORM
$sqlvalues="SELECT * FROM contacts
WHERE id='$id'";
$result=mysql_query($sqlvalues);

// DISPLAY FORM (showing truncated values)
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)):
$id = $row["id"];
$fname = $row["fname"];
$lname = $row["lname"];
print("<form method='post' action='updatedrecords.php'><br>" .
"Name<input type=text nameame value=$fname><br>" .
"Surname<input type=text name=lname value=$lname><br>" .
"etc");
endwhile;
echo("</form>");
?>

hello Alberto,

try to use some quotes at the 'value' attribute:

instead of this:

> "Name<input type=text nameame value=$fname><br>" .
> "Surname<input type=text name=lname value=$lname><br>" .

try this:

> "Name<input type=text nameame value="$fname"><br>" .
> "Surname<input type=text name=lname value="$lname"><br>" .

Have a better day!!!
