%2B looks like something that would appear in a URL, usually in the
QUERY_STRING(which is part of the URL).
+ is the format you would use in an XML document itself.
If you're using php check out www.php.net/urlencode and
www.php.net/htmlspecialchars and www.php.net/htmlentities those urls
are from memory, so may not be completely accurate. Let me know if
they're not, and I'll find the right ones for you.

exactly what 'kind' of include is that then - looks normal to me.
maybe you need to learn a bit about how include works, what the 'current working
directory' is (and how this differs between CLI and SAPI versions), and how
the include_path ini setting affects the use of [include|require](_once)?
that said I've sometimes had to have script that runs off the cmdline and via a browser
and it can be a bit of PITA to get to work flawlessly in both envs :-)

The National Coalition for Dialogue and Deliberation (NCDD) is seeking
an independent contractor or company to perform some PHP and MySQL Web
development work. In simplest terms, the Web site is a MySQL-driven
content management system (CMS), written in PHP, running on a
Unix/Linux server. The project can be done remotely but must be
completed by the end of 2005.
A full and descriptive request for proposal can be found at
http://www.thataway.org/misc/ncdd_rfp.pdf
Questions can be addressed to the contact person named in the RFP or by
replying to this email (not to the mailing list).
Thanks,

attached mail follows:
I have two Windows machines.
machine A has apache/mysql/php (main host)
machine B has apache/media server (secondary host for high bandwidth
media such as video)
I have admin tools (written in PHP and using sesson variables) on A
which allows for updating of the database with pictures and such. The
admin tools also allows you to delete records.
When the user deletes a record using the admin tools on machine A, I
also want to delete some media files on machine B.
At this point, I figured that I should have my admin tools call a PHP
script on machine B to delete files from the B's filesystem.
I did a search online and it seems that I should use a header() call
to call the PHP script on machine B.
But what if I want to RETURN the user to the admin tools? Can I send
another header() from machine B's script? What will happen to the
session variables? How can I hold onto the session variables while
moving between web servers?

I just thought of something...
Will this work...
(machine A) User hits submit in the Admin Tools to delete a record.
(machine A) I send POST variables to a database php script in a NEW
WINDOW...at the end of the script...it uses a header() to call the
PHP script on machine B...to delete files from that machine.
(machine B) after the php script runs and deletes the media files, it
displays a "SUCCESS...please close window" which appears in the new
window.
The user still has the admin tools, with it's session variables, in
the parent window.

Um.. No. You use header when you want to pass additional headers to
the browser, that is downloading your content. An example of this
would be when you want to serve up a PNG image, instead of html, you
would use header("Content-type: image/png")
You can use a header to redirect a user to scripts on another system.
To do this you would pass a location header header("Location:
serverb.com/whatever")
If you want to call a script on machine B, then you can either simply
use file handling functions eg: fopen("http://machineb/page.php"), or
www.php.net/curl

Do the two machines share a common domain name? are your machines for
example boxa.commondomain.com and boxb.commondomain.com if so then you
can have the cookies(which hold the session tracking number) operate
at the commondomain.com level. All you have to do then is configure
one machine to get session files from the other.
Otherwise you can use session.use_trans_sid and add the SID to the url
when you header("Location")
In windows you could do this by setting up a share containing the
session files, and modding your php.ini file to reflect that the
session info is stored in this file.
If you don't have admin access to your boxes, then you could write a
session handler on one of the systems to dl the necessary sesssion
info on demand. For more info see
Having that said, it seems to be a fairly common requirement - so
there may be a cleaner solution to the one I have outlined here. I've
just never needed it - so therefore I've never come across it.

ah, righty ho. that does look familiar - I just assumed that you were pointing
to some resource/article elsewhere than php.net - didn't cross my mind that you might
just have been pointing to OP to the most natural place to start reading about sessions
(or anything php for that matter) - which is why I asked, you never you when you can learn
something new! :-)
that said I have always been satisfied with the default session handler (and given that
(nearly) all my work is published either on my 'own' server (not really mine but I have
full control and there are no 'anon' 3rd party running stuff) or on dedicated servers belonging
to clients I don't have to worry about all the potential security risks involved with (badly setup?)
shared hosting environments. for that reason (and lack of time) I have never really dived deep
into to the possibilities of custom session handlers (I have used some 3rd party code once that
used a mysql DB to store the session data which was a quite simple affair - such a setup would
allow sharing of sessions accross various boxes.... asumming a shared base domain)

Thanks Rory:
I tried using fopen() and CURL and they both worked like a charm!
No need to juggle redirects and session variables.

You would give the options a different value(each of them in your case is "")
Try
<form action="whatever.php">
<select class="textbox"
name="loan_process">
<option value="purchase"
selected="selected">Purchase</option>
<option
value="construct_home">Construct Home</option>
<option>

May I also suggest that if you're experimenting try putting "<?php
phpinfo() ?>" without the quotes into whatever.php(see form action)

It'd have to be in the form of a form and you'd need to add values to
the options, wrap it inside form tags, specify a method like $_POST or
$_GET, error check and then send.

You don´t _have_ to specify a method. It defaults to "GET". Although
granted you generally do have to place it inside a <form> tag.

Hi . !
what you want it's recive values from a "select". !!!
First a select input send ( when the form is submitted ), the value of
the selected item, then
the php script that it's the form action recive, a on post or get a
variable with the name of the select input with this value.
Then you have:
This the html source
<form method="post" action="test.php">
<select class="textbox" name="loan_process">
<option value="1"
selected="selected">Purchase</option>
<option
value="2">Construct Home</option>
<option>
</select>
</form>
On the php source:
<?php
if(isset($_POST["loan_process"]))
echo $_POST["loan_process"];
?>
That it's all.

A most basic question begs a most basic answer:

From what I can see it looks a bit like an SQL version of the
strtotime function. Basicly it translates from a less strict syntax,
into the more strict SQL syntax, with the added advantage that the
less strict one can be in a different language(in this case French and
Italian)
Is my understanding correct Alessandro?

Thank You. I guess they are keeping "quiet" about letting people
know about it. I would have thought that a "php -h" or "man php"
would have given me the answer to that one. And since the poster
said that he needed that to run the program, it never occurred to me
that it was for "quiet" since that should not hinder him from running
a program. Just keep him from getting a bunch of output. Of course,
I might have total mis-understood him too. I have to much going on
right now to remember. Anyway, thanks.
Thanks

AAarg.
Okay, thanks to all of you I've decided that any field name I need to
see will be sent to $_SESSION['required_fields'] and basta.
Then after the submit button is pressed, I am doing this:
reset($_SESSION['required_fields']);
foreach ($_SESSION['required_fields'] as $fieldname)
{
if (!isset($_POST[$fieldname]) || empty($_POST[$fieldname]))
{
$message[$fieldname]=1;
include_once(QUESTIONS . 'q.inc');
}
}//error check
And this is *almost* working: it seems to crap out after the first loop
through the $_SESSION['required_field'] array.
The array says:
Array ( [required_fields] => Array ( [0] => 1 [1] => 2 [2] => 3 [3] => 4
[4] => 1 [5] => 2 [6] => 3 [7] => 4 [8] => 1 [9] => 2 [10] => 3 [11] =>
4 ) )
$_POST says:
Array ( [action] => [process]process [1] => [2] => 68 [3] => [4] => )
So you see, there's an answer specified for the value of question [2].
But $messages says only:
$message: array(1) { [1]=> int(1) }
Why is it dying after the first loop through?
Thanks in advance

reset is not required when using foreach. and given that you have probably
not looped that item

you may be getting into trouble because of php's typecasting - try using
fielnames that are strings that do not auto cast to integers (which can be
used as array keys for indexed arrays) e.g. "cb1" instead of "1"

that does not look like valid output from var_dump() neither does the output you
show for $_SESSION['required_field'].

is it? (use print_r() or var_dump() inside the loop to see what is happening)
NOT SO SUBTLE HINT: USE echo, print_r() and var_dump() until either you fingers or
your eyes start to bleed ;-) if you still haven't figured it out by then it's

I can only swear this to the entire list:
Before I come here for help, each time, I echo and var_dump and print_r
until, yes, I need a doctor.
So by the time I come here, it's not laziness or lack of looking in the
manual, it's head-swirling confusion infused with incompetence and a
complete lack of programming experience at any time before April of this
year which leads me to come back again and again with relatively foolish
questions.
My problem before, for example: In my error check function, I placed the
include file (to return to the form) *within* the foreach loop, and then
I wondered why it only ran through once.
D'oh.

i'am developing a web framework SifEngine (Secure Web Inteface
framework) that implement MVC applaying the security ideas from
http://phpsec.org. I'am using DomXML, Sqlite, Mcrypt and PostgreSql.
After of post my development on the internet ( i have been thinking
to post on PEAR ), i made simple tests of aplications with my
framework. During the implementation, i used Slackware 10.1 with
kernel 2.4.29 + php5.0.4 + Apache 1.3.2, with no problems. I didn't
detect performace problems or segfaults by apache. Then i decided to
do the same test but with kernel 2.6.10, wating that no problems
occur. However my expectation, on this new configuration all the
aplications develped with my framework, had performance issues or in
the worst situation produce apache forks to be restarted, or a lot of
apache forks.
i don't undestand why this occur, i try to use valigrand to verify
memorie lacks without results.
Someone can help me, with this problem !
On this moment i'm using SIfEngine, to implement my proyects only on
kernel 2.4.x !
Thanks !

Any exotic security patches been applied to the kernel that is having issues?
I have PHP5, Apache2 on a 2.6.8 kernel with no issues. It may be that
you have a non-thread-safe library added to your Apache/PHP setup.
Apache 1.3.x is still the Apache of choice last I heard.

--with-curlwrappers, I doubt that's your segfault issue though.
You could recompile everything with debugging and use gdb. At least
then you could produce a backtrace to send to the maintainers.

I have next no knowledge wroth speaking of concerning binary data - and the
string screw problem mentioned above makes it impossible for me to determine whether
I am really on the right path here but take a look at the following:
$line = "!v2005*08|05+09?0419*!";
$output = unpack ( "x1 A1 A4 x1 A2 x1 A2 x1 A2 x1 A2 x1 A2 A1", $line );
$output2 = unpack ( "x1A1A4x1A2x1A2x1A2x1A2x1A2A1", $line );
$output3 = unpack ( "x1/A1/A4/x1/A2/x1/A2/x1/A2/x1/A2/x1/A2/A1", $line );
$output4 = unpack ( "x1_a/A1_b/A4_c/x1_d/A2_e/x1_f/A2_g/x1_h/A2_i/x1_j/A2_k/x1_l/A2_m/A1_n", $line );
var_dump( $output, $output2, $output3, $output4 );'
this page:
http://nl2.php.net/unpack
... does mention that the php unpack() implementation is somewhat different to the perl one
(btw I'm a complete perl luddite! - I don't think my brain can cope with that much cryptic crap
;-) - that said thank Larry for PCRE!)
I'd be very grateful if you report back on your progress - I for one can definitely learn something
here!

If that's your first use of $data then it's not necessary, but it's very
highly recommended to do something like:
$data = array();
mysql_query("SELECT ....");
while($rows .....)
{
$data[] = $rows;
}
That way you _know_ that $data is "clean" before you start doing
anything with it.
It's always a good idea to set any variables you're using to some value,
either "", array(), 0, or some default value, before you use them to
help keep the "bad guys" out of your scripts.

you need to have quotes arround your varchar items and you should also
specify which column you want the values to go into.
It is also good practice to check if there is an error and try to get
the most information available.

As for daylight savings time, I'm leaving it up to the developer using the
above function to determing the appropriate TZ based on DST to pass
in. I didn't want to have to worry about what timezones actually use
DST. If anyone sees any gross mistakes, please let me know. Other-
wise, please feel free to use if needed.
thnx,

Yess! That's the right one :-)

"DB" class do the right thing with try/catch.
THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH Jack Scott!

Hi everyone,
Sorry for the n00bie question but I've been racking my brain, searching
Google and yes, I have been "RTFM" for over 6 months :-)
All I'm trying to do is set up a "User system" that allows a member to
create their own personal site using an auto_increment type system? This is my
problem...
I've been trying to look through other code trying to figure out where and
how they do it - but for some reason I can't figure out how to Dynamically
create something like this:
User Joe comes in and creates an account... when he creates his account he
can give his site a TITLE, DESCRIPTION, ABOUT US INFO (say /aboutus.php),
CONTACT (./contactus.php), etc. after he clicks "Submit" the system automatically
creates a site such as _http://mydomain.com/0/joe/ _
(http://mydomain.com/0/joe/ ) , Bob does the same thing and his is _http://mydomain.com/0/bob_
(http://mydomain.com/0/bob)
I'm sure most of you know how this is done or you've seen it on sites such
as Soundclick.com (although it's CF) - I've been checking out Jamroom to see if
I could figure it out there- but kinda got lost lol... I want to use PHP,
Smarty and MySQL to do this - but I'm missing something... I'm not asking
anybody to build this - I'm looking for a little guidance, tips, etc. - that's all.
Would this be done through auto_increment in MySQL or something?
Thanks everyone :-)

From my understanding of what you are trying to do you have templates,
perhaps, setup for your users that get customized with each individuals
data. In that case what you will require to do is first off
1. create a folder for user underneath the corresponding location you want
the user setup, so if
-web address: www.mydomain.com physical location: c:\mydomain\
-web address: www.mydomain.com/Joe/ physical location: c:\mydomain\Joe\
2. insert user data into templates
3. copy the template files over to the new folder location for user, so if
the user has a contactus.php
-web address: www.mydomain.com/Joe/contactus.php physical location:
c:\mydomain\Joe\contactus.php
I'm pretty sure this is probably overkill for what you were looking for.
Hope it helps..

ps- You will need to look up directory and file manipulation functions.
They are simple...

Thanks, that's actually really close to what I was looking for...
so if I wanted, say: _http://mydomain.com/0/joe_ (http://mydomain.com/0/joe)
- you're saying I should have the Directory "/0/" or "/1/" already set
up... right? then do I use something such as mkdir and chdir to create joe? then
file manipulation functions such as fwrite, fread, etc?
So basically if I'm reading clearly... I insert the User info into the
Database, then use that info to write into the Directory "/joe/" ?
Thanks a lot man, I feel like I might have been right all along - but this
is the first big project I've done - so I'm trying to get the Logic down
correctly before I get started... :-)

p.s. sorry, I meant to do "reply all" :-( So, here it is again!

I have coded this type of website for many years and have run the gamut of
trying different things -- originally, 8 years ago, I used perl with flat
files and physical folders but in the recent past I have used PHP, MySQL and
dynamic folders.
In my opinion the best way to build this site is with dynamic folders via
custom 404 error handling. Here how it works:
You build the pages for things like "contact us" "my store" "my stuff" or
whatever. Then you send someone to the site with an address like:
mydomain.com/joe which doesn't exist. A custom 404 error handler picks up
the error and parses the URL to identify "joe" as a unique ID. The 404
script pulls "joe's" info from a database and populates the pages with his
custom contact info then delivers the page. Joe's ID usually gets stuffed
into a cookie and then when the person comes back to the site at a later
date, they are delivered joe's info.
That's it in a nut shell. Be sure that you deliver 200 headers and not 404
headers when delivering the dynamic folder.
Now you can do the physical folders and every time someone "signs up" you
can
