The '$1$' means it's a md5 password.

Don't chop-up the encryped passwd.
Use the whole string for the seed and let crypt() handle it:

$epass=crypt($pass, $dbpass);

if (strcmp($dbpass,$epass)) {

Not necessarily, in data storage 1mb = 1024kb but in data transfer 1mb =
1000kb.

Ian

attached mail follows:

Again I say "Ahhh". Are you mixing your bits and bytes then?
1MB =1024KB
1mb=1000kb

Although upper and lower case seem to have becoming interchangeable,
even though technically they have different meaning. The simple formula
is suddenly getting more complicated.

Isn't it the case that in data storage the 'b' means 'bytes', while in
data transfer the 'b' means 'bits'? It makes a difference: talking about
1000 bytes is awkward, while 1000 bits is not.

Go this way, but create a separate cache dir for each project in its own
directory.
Probably even you would have problems telling which cache file belongs
to which project, so how would a stupid computer know the difference.

Actually, this should only be true for versions 4.1.0 to 4.2.3 -- the manual
page at http://uk.php.net/manual/en/ref.session.php (admittedly a *long* way
down it and hidden under the "Examples" heading!) contains this warning:

"There is a defect in PHP 4.2.3 and earlier. If you register a new session
variable by using session_register(), the entry in the global scope and the
$_SESSION entry will not reference the same value until the next
session_start(). I.e. a modification to the newly registered global variable
will not be reflected by the $_SESSION entry. This has been corrected in PHP
4.3."

Please let me clarify what I am saying. The manual reference above is
correct, *to a point*.

In 4.3.2, when you *assign* to any one of the session variable $a,
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS['a'], or $_SESSION['a'], you simultaneously *assign* to
the other two. For example,

$HTTP_SESSION_VARS['a'] = 'iguana';

simultaneously *assigns* 'iguana' to $a and $_SESSION['a'].

However, unset($a) does NOT unset $HTTP_SESSION_VARS['a'] or $_SESSION['a'],
with two results. One, the value of the session variable, $a, is no longer
in sync with $HTTP_SESSION_VARS['a'] and $_SESSION['a']. Two, $a will have
the value 'iguana' restored on the next session_start(). This is unexpected
behavior and not explained in the manual, AFAIK.

Did you restart your Web server after making the change?

That's $_GET -- PHP variable names are case-sensitive, so $_Get is not the
same thing.

I'm guessing here since you didn't post your revised code, but are you
trying to interpolate it in a double-quoted string? Then you also need to
use braces, like:

   echo "Welcome, {$_GET['name']}";

If it's not that, post your code as it is now for people to look at.

Cheers!

Change this line to:
<?php
        echo"Welcome, " . $_GET['name'];
?>

and that's it.
If this doesn't work, because your PHP-Version is <=4.0.6 than try this, if
you can't update:

<?php
        echo"Welcome, " . $HTTP_GET_VARS['name'];
?>

For security-reasons leave your php.ini with:
register_globals=off

Sorry I forgot the "!"-Char. So do it this way:
echo"Welcome, " . $_GET['name'] . "!";
or
echo"Welcome, " . $HTTP_GET_VARS['name'] . "!";
depending onyour PHP-Version.

you don't need the .*? in your regex (either * or ? multiplier) as preg_match searches for any occurance (not from begin ^ or to end $).

Thanks,

I weas reading on the php website under the preg_match functino and
people were saying that you had to excape the $ so that iw ould be
evaluated right. That's what got me confused.

You could only send a certain amount of e-mails on each execution and use
a meta-refresh to continually call the script. I do this on one site and
also display a progress bar that updates on each refresh which is a bit
better for the end user rather than have them staring at nothing until
eventually all the mails have sent.

All the best,

David.

Even better, you don't even need the fopen() and fclose() calls;
readfile() is doing this with just the filename.

How so?

int readfile ( string filename [, bool use_include_path [, resource
context]])

It does say 'filename', not 'resource'. Seems pretty unequivocal.
However, if there is something wrong with the presentation or if you
have suggestions for improvements, I can take a look at it for you.

Don't use PHP, just use the replication that's already built into MySQL.

Hello

as usual there are a few ways to do tackle this job.
My preference is to stop mysql and use rsync to transfer the data , then
  restart it. Mysql4+ supports clustering also.

If you do not stop mysql while u do the sync you risk a corruption of
copied data.

See man rsync and mysql.com for details of each way.

The clustering seems like allot of work to me , it depends how up to
date you need to keep

Cheers

Neil

attached mail follows:

 From Paul Dubois's MySQL book:

"If you are dumping a database so that you can transfer the database to
another server:
(on the unix command line or in a shell script)

% mysqladmin -h boa.snake.net create samp_db
% mysqldump samp_db | mysql -h boa.snake.net samp_db"

the first command obviously creates the db, the second dumps the data
to it. You can also take the update log which records deletes, inserts,
updates, etc. as SQL statements, and pipe those to another MySQL server
in a similar manner.

hi folks,

I just realised that open_basedir also prevents the access to /tmp.
Thus, file uploads aren't possible.

One solution would be, to use a tmp directory within open_basedir, to
give PHP the required write access.

But assume you're using a server with multiple VirtualHosts and
www-dirs. You use open_basedir to limit the access of every script
running in a specific VirtualHost/www-dir to its proper www-dir.

Now you would have to create a .../tmp directory for each single
www-dir, which is not very pretty.

Would it be possible to limit access to open_basedir without the
exception of /tmp, to allow the uploads?

You (or your server admin) should add /tmp to the allowed directories:

open_basedir = /tmp:/www/yourvirtualhost

This should give you access to both trees.

The problem does not appear to be database related, it appears to header
related. You are trying to send header information after sending regular
output. You can't do this:

<?php
echo 'blah blah';
header("Location: ".$out);
?>

BUT you can do this:

<?php
$some_text = my_function();
if ($some_text) echo $some_text;
else header("Location: ".$out);

function my_function() {
  // some code goes here
  if ($something) return $some_text;
  return;
} // end my_function()
?>

Try looking at line 29. that's the line where you are trying to output a
header after outputing some text.

The problem isn't "how do I clear the cache for page 2," it's really "how
do I allow for people to press the back button on the results page and go
back to page 1."

So, why not create a link <a href='page1.php'>Change search criteria</a>?

Or, you can also insert a session variable on the results page. Page 2
will check for the existance of it. If it exists, clear it and bounce the
user to page 1.

Which can't happen. Once you are on the last page the user can't by anyway
get back to page 2, unless they start over on page 1.

What I am planning on doing is passing the variables using the POST method.
Then have a hidden variable pass with the pages. If this hidden variable is
missing then redirect the user back to page 1. Thus if I can get page 2 to
be cleared from the browsers cache after it has been displayed, if the user
came back to this page using the back button the page will be reload from
the server because it is not in cache, there for my code will not find the
hidden variable and redirect the user back to page 1.

I think the theory of this will work ok, but I don't know how to clear a
page from the browsers cache after it is displayed.

Thanks,
Mark.

[SNIP]

Mark, this is kind of a lame hack but give it a try...

/** PAGE A (first form) **/
<?
session_start();
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
 header("Location: test3.php");
 exit;
}
?>

/** PAGE B (second form) **/
<?
session_start();
if ($_SESSION['startover']) {
 $_SESSION['startover'] = false;
 header("Location: test2.php");
 exit;
}

if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
 header("Location: test4.php");
 exit;
}
?>

/** PAGE C (results page) **/
<?
session_start();
$_SESSION['startover'] = true;
?>

The idea is to keep a "startover" variable in the session. The variable is
set when you reach Page C (the results page). When the user hits the back
button the variable is tested on Page B for true or false. If it's true
header() redirect back to Page A. Otherwise it prints and/or validates the
form on Page B.

Why header() redirect between each page? Becuase it overwrites the post
data allowing you to use your back button without a repost. This results in
a much cleaner more controlable user interface. If you need to pass form
data between forms then simply store the post data in the Session and
extract it on the next page.

If I'm right, what you're going to see in the browser's back button history
using this method is a single instance of PAGE A repeated for each cycle.

Good luck with this.

I'm having a problem configuring my web server to redirect 404 errors to
a custom error page. It almost looks like the PHP parser is getting hold
of the request before apache has checked to see if the file exists.

It works fine if you request an unknown page on the server that isn't
a PHP script, but fails if it is.

Examples:

http://www.jeamland.org/blah.htm
        Displays the custom error page
        Logs: [Fri Jun 20 14:25:51 2003] [error] [client X.X.X.X]
                File does not exist:
                /spool/web/www.jeamland.org/html/blah.htm

http://www.jeamland.org/blah.html (or blah.php)
        Displays a browser generated 404 error page
        Logs: [client 194.72.110.12] script not found or unable to stat

Here's most of my virtualhost configuration, any thoughts appreciated!

Thanks,

Andy

Just a guess, but... you always have a file in that directory. It looks
somehting like this:

<?PHP
  
  include "header.php";

?>
...FILE_NOT_FOUND....
<?PHP
  
  include "footer.php";

?>

Try it without the:

Or check for the existence of the requested file in the header and if
not found, send the 302 header with a forward to your custom page.

If you don't know what the header is supposed to look like, grab a copy
of SamSpade (http://www.samspade.org/ssw/) and use it to view the
headers of a page that is forwarding correctly. BTW, it's FREE!!!!

Andy, I've tried the following (with my server info, of course) in one
of my directories and it works like a champ! It doesn't matter if it's
php, htm or html!

----- .htaccess ------

AddType application/x-httpd-php .html
php_value auto_prepend_file
"/spool/web/www.jeamland.org/html/header.php"
php_value auto_append_file
"/spool/web/www.jeamland.org/html/footer.php"

ErrorDocument 404 http://www.jeamland.org/_error.html

attached mail follows:

: ErrorDocument 404 http://www.jeamland.org/_error.html

Yep, it does seem to work if I put the whole URL in the ErrorDocument
directive rather than just /_error.html !
Unfortunately, that makes the web server snd a redirect which isn't exactly
what I want (unless you know of a way to get at the originally requested URL
?)

: Or check for the existence of the requested file in the header and if
: not found, send the 302 header with a forward to your custom page.

I'm not entirely sure that the header is actually being run..
If I move the header out of the way, I don't get any errors about it:

>> Browse to www.jeamland.org with header.php removed <<

 [client X.X.X.X] PHP Warning: Unknown(header.php): failed to open stream:
No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0
[client X.X.X.X] PHP Warning: (null)(): Failed opening 'header.php' for
inclusion (include_path='.:/spool/web/www.jeamland.org/lib') in Unknown on
line 0

>> Now browse to www.jeamland.org/bob.html <<
[client X.X.X.X] script not found or unable to stat

What seems to be happening is that apache is seeing the request for a .html
file and calling PHP which is returning a set of 404 headers.. For some
reason, apache isn't testing for the existence of the file first. I've no
idea if this is a PHP or apache problem but hopefully there's a way to work
around it

Thanks for the very rapid response!

When you call the mail() function are you using the headers parameter, if
so have you accidentally put a double newline in your headers, if so this
would cause all of the headers below the double newline to appear in the
body.

Looks like you are passing the parameters in the wrong order, it should
be:
mail("toaddress.com","subject","message","From: Yourname

I work for a small networking company. We're working on a piece of
software that will be run server-side with PHP and MySQL. It allows the
user to develop an online store and handles all the complex shopping
cart stuff with ease. It is a port of an originally client-side
application. We would like to be able to hand out demo discs that do
not require the internet to try it out - having a standalone try-out
version is a big source of customers.

Is there any kind of standalone PHP/MySQL engine that could be
reasonably installed from a CD and run on most Windows machines? If
there was some method to compile the PHP into a binary or otherwise
protect it, it would be really good because our company would not be
too excited about handing out the near-complete source to our product
on all the demo discs. It would be nice if there was support for
non-Windows OSes, but Windows is by far the majority in market share
and the other OSes could easily just pop into an HTML document that

Well, having a solid product that people can look at offline has been a
major selling point in the past. The customers we cater to appreciate a
physical product. We could give them HTML that sends them online, but
we could just as easily give them a card with an URL on it and not
waste CD media for a 1K shortcut file. I can't confess to completely
understand these people who really want a local product for something
that must be uploaded to the internet in the end and is dependent on
our servers to handle checkout and order processing - it's just a
psychological thing, I guess.

I'm trying to investigate how hard it would be to get a demo product on
a CD that basically goes through an installer process and installs some
back end PHP/MySQL stuff so a demo can be run locally. What exactly
would be involved in compiling a PHP client with the source myself -
are there any existing products along these lines? It probably wouldn't
be practical to develop a whole project our selves, but if there was
something already out there, we might use it.

Well, I wish that it was that easy, but although there are a lot of
loyal users to our client version, it has *major* flaws. We're
basically taking the existing functionality and wrapping it into a
similar but correct GUI and fixing so many bugs and changing the
interface at least enough to confuse the user. Also, we plan to
eliminate the client side version for new users once the server side
version is up. So basically, we can't.
