Hi,

Make sure freetds was compiled with --enable-msdblib

Make sure that php was compiled with --with-mssql=/path/to/freetds

Make sure that you edit the file freetds.conf (freetds/etd/freetds.conf) to
have an entry for your database e.g:

[myserver]
        host = myserver.domain.name
        port = 1433
        tds version = 7.0

you can also add login and password or specify in your database connection
script.

Hi Guys,

I have a problem with a site where I¹m using sessions.

Basically, I have it so that someone enters the site and their session
(shopping cart ref) is created on entry (unless it already exists) and all
variables are stored in the session.

Problem is that when someone goes so far in the ordering process, and then
(for whatever reason) leaves the site, and comes back hours, seconds or
whatever later, and goes again to place an order, the details are different
(time), and the session stays the same so the order entry is entered twice
in the database.

I have gotten around this by checking for the existence of the database
entry for that person and session, and if the entry exists, then I just
update the details, but I¹m wondering if there might be a better way of
doing this?

I had looked at the idea of sessions expiring and found the following in my
php.ini file, and see that the session lifetime is set to 24mins, but am
wondering if there is any given reason why I should change this (or not!).

session.cookie_lifetime = 0
session.gc_maxlifetime = 1440

Thanks for the help,

I would put a timelimit on the session, create a session var called
time, or loginTime or something, and compare it to time() with php,
give a leyway of an hour or something. This is a standard securty
measure to prevent people from leaving the pc with a session running
all day, and someone else sitting down and ordering the world to his
home.
So if the session is an hour old, destroy it.

Why not just clear the order info from the session once the order is placed?

Hi Guys,

I¹m using PHP¹s mail() function on several sites, but have difficulty
sometimes with the mails being tagged as SPAM.

I want to have the Return-Path set to the site admin, but can¹t see where to
do this.

I know that it can be done at server root level but I can¹t really do that
as its a shared server.

I do have my own php.ini file for my site, but can only see the following
vars:

mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = localhost

; For Win32 only.
sendmail_from = melocalhost.com

; For Unix only. You may supply arguments as well (default: "sendmail -t
-i").
sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i

I¹m working off a Linux box, so presumably I can¹t use the sendmail_from
variable?

I also tried to set the following variable in the headers for the mail:

$headers .= "X-Return-path: ME <userdomain.com>\r\n";

Any help appreciated,

Thanks

This should work if you put it in the right place in the call. Try
just \n as well. If it doesn't work, try using a mailing class such
as:

use the 5th parameter to mail();

mail(..., '-f "ME <userdomain.com>"');

Setting the return path is dependent of the delivery method.

You may be able to set it using the mail function fifth argument, send
via SMTP or call the sendmail program directly.

You may want to try this class that simplifies everything by emulating
the Return-Path header. Then, depending on the delivery method that is
used, it will map to the appropriate action to set the return path
address. You have the option to choose delivery via the mail() function,
sendmail program, qmail program . Pick one delivery option that works
well for you given your environment restrictions.

Hi Justin,

I just tried this code:

$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\n";
$headers .= "From: Webstore <infodomain.com>\n";
$headers .= "To: $email_address\n";
$headers .= "Bcc: endacategory9.com\n";
$headers .= "X-Priority: 1\n";
$headers .= "X-MSMail-Priority: Normal\n";
$headers .= "X-Mailer: My Website\n";
$headers .= "X-Return-path: ME <userdomain.com>\n";
$subject = "Your Order";
$from = "endacategory9.com";

$message .="xxxxxx";

mail($to, $subject, $message, $from, $headers)
or print "Could not send mail to customer";

But I get a SAFE MODE error, so I guess I¹ll just have to try that PEAR
package.

Hi All,

I have a page where I'm collecting answers from a series of questions.
The questions are entered into the array one at a time so I can keep
track of paging.
$arans = array($_POST);
$_SESSION['arans'][$pageid] = $arans;

Then I want to check the sum of the array for scoring purposes. However
I have to get to the key that has the values for the scores.

for($i = 1; $i <= 10; $i++){
print_r($_SESSION['arans'][$i]);
print" ";
}

Give me this...

Array ( [0] => Array ( [mc] => 0 [Submit] => Submit ) )
Array ( [0] => Array ( [mc] => 10 [Submit] => Submit ) )
Array ( [0] => Array ( [mc] => 0 [Submit] => Submit ) )
Array ( [0] => Array ( [truefalse] => 10 [Submit] => Submit ) )
Array ( [0] => Array ( [mc] => 0 [Submit] => Submit ) )
Array ( [0] => Array ( [truefalse] => 10 [Submit] => Submit ) )
Array ( [0] => Array ( [mc] => 0 [Submit] => Submit ) )
Array ( [0] => Array ( [truefalse] => 10 [Submit] => Submit ) )
Array ( [0] => Array ( [mc] => 10 [Submit] => Submit ) )
Array ( [0] => Array ( [truefalse] => 10 [Submit] => Submit ) )

Ten separate arrays with an array at 0 that has the data I'm after.
This is where I'm getting stuck. How can I get to the keys that are
either 'mc' or 'truefalse' and sum them?

Thanks,

alex hogan

Hi,

If I have a html textarea for inputting text into a database text field how can I keep the formatting of the entered text?

i.e. on the html textarea if the user enters carriage returns i.e. a new paragraph I want that to go into the database then when I retrieve it and display it on a normal html page I want to keep those carriage returns!

Thanks

Before injecting textarea data into a DB use this:

$_POST["textarea"] = str_replace("\n"," ",$_POST["textarea"]);

When retrieving data from the DB for a textarea use this before displaying:

$_POST["textarea"] = str_replace(" ","\n",$_POST["textarea"]);

I usually leave the string intact in the database because if you need to
show it in an admin area or something, you don¹t need to convert it back
again before populating the text area.

Suppose it just comes down to personal preference... Or is there a specific
benefit to doing it this way?

attached mail follows:

i keep the string intact as well, for that exact reason, when you want
to edit dynamically, i dont want all sorts of html tags in my
textarea. So, the solution i found works, is to use the php funtion
nl2br(). use that when displaying the info in html., that way you dont
actually change the original text.

I think the reason why I started using the above two lines is becasue I
had created a mailer program for my work where co-workers can send mail
through the website.

Anyway, I was using the function nl2br to handle my newlines/breaks but
when receiving the email through Outlook everything was double spaced. It
turns out that nl2br was inserting a "\r\n" combination.

After some help through Google Groups it was suggested that the two lines
above would pretty much do the same and keep everything intact with
spacing. So it's what I've been using ever since for anything textarea out
of habit. :)

Also, check out the php site regarding the nl2br function and read through
the user comments. Different OSes handle newlines different and nl2br does
it 1 way.

http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.nl2br.php

And converting with nl2br supposedly takes up more CPU. Doing many nl2br
conversions can run your site/program slow. In some cases, it's better to
convert before injection since disk space is more abundent than CPU
cycles.

Hi all.

I'm using session variables to identify if a user is authorised, if yes -
display x and so on.

However, I've come across a couple of issues:

when users access a page that's 2 folders deep into the root I.e.
www.mydomain.com/folder1/folder2 any include references I use have to be
absolute instead of relative, has anyone else come across this...?

Also: users are not being authorised even though there's a variable that
says they are. I have verified this by placing a file in folder1 and it
displays fine but if I click a link to access a file in foder2 I get a login
page - I shouldn't. Any ideas...?

Relative includes are relative to the "starting" script's location. So
if you have config.php in folder1 and you're accessing folder2, you
have to use ../config.php.

One way to get around this is to have all includes in a central place
and add it to your include_path (This is what I do). I do it through
ini_set, but you could do it through a .htaccess file or the php.ini
much easier.

I assume you're calling session_start() in *all* of these pages?
Sessions *will* work across all folders on your website. Or at least
they should. You're not changing domains, right? Like from without
www. to with www.?

I did one application where I used the PHP session table to tell who was
logged on, and which area of the application they were most recently in.
One of several flaws, was that I used Kill session to logoff, and that
caused them to disappear from any count of users logged on. Course, if they
had logged off, then they weren't logged on, but on the other side, users
were counted for every session they created, and closing and opening new
browser sessions caused them to be counted multiple times, and continue to
be counted until session "garbage cleanup" removed their session entries,
unless I used the session timestamp in my count algorithm. Session was
nice, because if a user was causing a problem, I could kill his session
entry, effectively logging him off, forcing him to logon again.

It would be nice if you did a *little* bit of your own research. If you had a
look at 'wget --help' or 'man wget' you would have found that the '-O' switch
will save contents of URL to file (in this case to the file '-q').

Anyway this is getting completely OT. And as you have indicated in other posts
you wanted to print a copy of the URL "as rendered via a graphical browser".
Neither wget nor lynx or suitable for this task.

Hello all,

I have 3 scripts script1.php and script2.php where both include the same

script2 include general.inc when I try to use diferent function on

problem? Can anyone help me? In C++ you have the pragma keyword to
avoid this. What can be done in PHP?

When I do a include_once() the problem stays the same.

I *believe* that include_once will be all that is necessary. However if that

Say there were 28 results returned by query but i want to display 5 on first and subsequent pages. The way I do this is to run two identical queries. First one queries the search string and I get total number of results, then I work out mathematically how many pages will be needed and then create the links on Next and Previous with appropriate page numbers.

My database is only 50-60 records but I estimate it to reach a few hundred to even a couple of thousand. Would doing double queries put unnecessary load on my server?

What other ways or techniques are there for doing this?? Any suggestions

Hello all. I have a function that executes the unzip command.

function test_unzip($command) {
$stdout = shell_exec($command);
echo $stdout;
}

This is the content of $stdout after calling it with $command = "unzip
./email/test.zip";
Archive: ./email/test.zip
inflating: ./txt/test.txt

What I want to do is to extract the value(s) after inflating, so that I
can check what was extracted from the zip. The reason why I cannot use
the PHP zip functions is that I have to use a different decompressing
utility other than unzip which outputs a different thing. Depending on
what is output then I can decide what tool to use.

So I need to extract test.txt from the string above. How can I do it?

Sometimes the unzip utility is not compatible with the zip file because
it might be proprietary. Therefore I will call pkzipc instead of unzip.
Whenever I have the string from executing unzip :

Archive: proprietary.zip
skipping: proprietary.txt `shrink' method not supported

Now, instead of inflating I have skiping because I cannot unzip this zip
file with the free unzip utility, instead I call pkzipc and I then suceed:

pkunzip proprietary.zip
PKZIP(R) Version 6.0 FAST! Compression Utility for Linux X86
Copyright 1989-2002 PKWARE Inc. All Rights Reserved. Evaluation Version
PKZIP Reg. U.S. Pat. and Tm. Off. Patent No. 5,051,745

Extracting files from .ZIP: pv0551.zip
Unshrinking: proprietary.txt

Therefore, what I need help with is to analyze the $stdout variable:

If that contains inflating I need to know what was decompressed. If
contains skipping then I must call this function using pkzipc instead.
Then I must extract whatever value after Unshrinking:

Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance.

You can do so with regular expresson but a more simple aproach may be to
use the split command the split up the output from the shell command
into an array. then you can do a string comparision on each element -
less elegent but easier to master if you are not familiar with regular
expressions.
