Hi Adrian,

You can still use the text input, but you must ensure that the input is
filtered first. There is a wealth of information on SQL injection and
its prevention on the Internet. Try these for starters:

Late to the party I know, but I think something has been missed here.
Here's an excerpt from php.ini-recommended in a fresh download of PHP:

; Allow the <? tag. Otherwise, only <?php and <script> tags are
recognized.
; NOTE: Using short tags should be avoided when developing
applications or
; libraries that are meant for redistribution, or deployment on PHP
; servers which are not under your control, because short tags may not
; be supported on the target server. For portable, redistributable code,
; be sure not to use short tags.
short_open_tag = Off

Given most ISPs habit of leaving everything at defaults, I'd say this
pretty much puts paid to using short tags.

Admittedly it is on in php.ini-dist, but that's not recommended is
it ;^)

If you use PHP 5.1, yes: http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.datetime.php

Hello!

I packed PHP 4.4.2RC1 today, which you can find here:
http://downloads.php.net/derick/ . Windows binaries will follow shortly.

Please test it carefully, and report any bugs in the bug system, but
only if you have a short reproducable test case.

If everything goes well, we can release it next tuesday. Especially test
issues with mod_rewrite and Apache 2 please!

regards,
Derick

hi Rasmus,

I would have but I don't know how - I have just come to realise that php actually has an idiots
guide to doing that (thanks for pointing that out :-):

http://bugs.php.net/bugs-generating-backtrace.php

I'm doing this backtrace thing for the first time - its not all plain sailing ....
having finally generated a core file (and found where apache had out it) I came to
the realisation that gdb was not installed (any had the pleasure of working on
RedHat Enterprise Server ?!?!)

well I downloaded gdb6.3 sources and try to install - make exits with an error.
so I can't install gdb to create the backtrace ...

any ideas? the errors I get when trying to build are below (I have googled to try and find
away past this problem with any success) - if you have any idea as to what I could do to
get gdb built I would be very grateful:

another question regarding apc: when I intall it via pecl it asks me
whether I want to use mmap or shmget - I choose mmap bu5t I was wondering what the difference
was and whether shmget is a viable choice (mmap seems to be the recommended choice).

You may want to use array_key_exists instead of isset. isset will
return false in the value for the array is NULL. Basically isset will
tell you if there is a value set for the array key, whereas
array_key_exists will tell you if the key exists or not, which is
what you want.

"The prolonged evacuation would have dramatically affected the
survivability of the occupants."

attached mail follows:

I'm having problems with a customer who can't login to a wholesaler
application. To ensure the problem was that the cookie was not being
set, I sent him to this script:

if( !isset( $_REQUEST['page'] ) ) {
  setcookie('VATtest','Cookie has been set.',time()+50000, "/");
  echo '<a href="'.$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'].'?page=1">Test cookie.</a>';
} else if( $_REQUEST['page'] == '1' ) {
  if( isset( $_COOKIE['VATtest'] ) ) {
    echo $_COOKIE['VATtest'];
  } else {
    echo 'Cookie NOT set.';
  }
}
?>

He got "Cookie NOT set." which means exactly what it says. He's using
IE 6.0, and swears up and down that he's set it to always allow cookies
from this domain. I can't verify that he's set it correctly, but he has
been told twice how to do it. I also know his browser must be saving
some cookies, as he is able to login to other sites. Has anyone run
into other sources of cookie-blockage in the past? I cannot manage to
duplicate this when I have IE set to always allow cookies from this domain.

Thanks for any tips,

kgt

attached mail follows:

I'm currently running into a situation where Internet Explort (IE) is
causing problems with setting the session id in cookies. Of course it works
just fine with Firefox.

Here's the code situation, we're being passed a user from a secondary server
(running windows) to an authentication page that the user has no clue they
are being passed to. The page basically verifies the user and gets their
informatoin with a token passed from the other server. Once verified, it
redirects the user to the index page using headers after a user object has
been created in a session:

/* Create the user object */
$user = new User();
if($user->authenticate($dbh, $userID, $origCompanyID, $companyID)) {
/* Start the session */
session_start();

/* Save the user object */
$_SESSION['User'] = $user;
session_write_close();

/* User has logged in, send them to the main page now */
header("Location:/index.php");
exit();
} else {
/* Token information did not correspond to our information */
header("Location:/loginerror.php");
exit();
}

I've tracked down that the auth is working correctly, the problem comes into
play when the user goes to index.php which checks to make sure the user
object has been set. There is no session information that carried over
because the cookie was not set.

The default IE browser privacy level is set to Medium (which I'm assuming is
default since I hadn't changed it). Under this privacy level, the session
can not be set. This includes:
- Blocks third-party cookies that do not have a compact privacy policy
- Blocks third-party cookies that use personally identifiable information
wihtout your implicit consent
- Restricts first-party cookies that use personally identificable
information without implicit consent

Not if we change the privacy level to Low, it works correctly and the cookie
for the sessions is saved. Under this privacy level, the session can not be
set. This includes:
- Restricts third-party cookies that do not have a compact privacy policy
- Restricts third-party cookies that use personally identifiable information
without your implicit consent

Just curious if anybody know how I can fix this bit of code so that I can
use cookies to store the session id since I prefer not to place it in the
url. I know url is an option though. The server this is running on is
addressed by an IP and not a hostname, so not sure if that might be the
issue for storing the cookie. Also not sure if it's because it's restricting
first-party cookies that use personally identifiable information without
implicit consent.

Any help / information would be appreciated. Please don't respond how this
could be more secure adding this and that security checks because this is
only partial code, didn't add the additional security checks I placed in
here.

Do you have that expression embedded in single or double quotes? Please
show us the actual context.

Yes.

Google for JavaScript

attached mail follows:

Absolutely, but you wouldn't really be using PHP to do. Javascript
would be required to handle the real time display update. Javascript
could also to the calculations. If you want to query the server for
prices and have PHP do the calculations and spit back totals, you'll
need to use AJAX.

PHP only receives requests and spits out information. It has no idea
what is requesting the information or how it is being interpreted. If
could be a browser, perl script, or a javascript function. It makes
no difference to PHP. Thus, your question isn't a PHP question.

Hello,

PHP has already been installed through RPM. phpinfo() shows
'--with-ldap'. That's the only information about ldap. I think there
should be more than that if php were installed with ldap support
properly. So what should I check and get ldap support added? Do I have
to download PHP source and go through configure, make and make install?

Thanks in advance,

Thanks much for the hints. I've just installed php-ldap. Now running
the script from the command like works.

% php test.php

Content-type: text/html
X-Powered-By: PHP/4.3.2

<h3>LDAP query test</h3>Connecting ...
connect result is Resource id #1<br />Binding ...LDAP bind
successful...Searching for (sAMAccountName=user) ...Search result is
Resource id #2<br />Number of entires returned is 0<br />Getting entries
...<p>Data for 0 items returned:<p>Closing connection

But in a web browser, it shows:

LDAP query test
Connecting ...
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: ldap_connect() in
/home/user/public_html/test.php on line 17

hmmm...

Forgot to mention, no change about ldap on phpinfo() after php-ldap was
installed. So it still just has '--with-ldap=shared' only.

Never mind. Restarting the web server fixed the problem.

I think you might be looking for the session.gc_* directives. These
control the session mechanism's garbage collection.

Hope that helps.

Well Jay was showing you where you could pick up everything you
needed. On Windows XP the IIS server is not installed by default you
have to select it as a component to install, so I'm not sure if you
would have IIS installed either. If you want a simple and quick
solution go to the link that Jay sent and download that installer
you'll get Apache/PHP/MySQL and some other tools for development.

Good luck

what is the best way to pull this from the db minimizing the number of

Thanks!

This is complicated. How many people are you planning to have total? How
frequently will this info be updated?

There is no simple way todo it with that model. (Unless you using Oracle, which has CONNECT BY, or I believe there is patch for
postgres to achieve similar).

If you have a lot more reads of the data, you may want to change to a nested set model, write operations take longer, but retrieving
the tree and rendering into a nested list only takes 1 query.

right now I have an existing PHP site that I downloaded for editing. But I

This one may be just a more general question not necessarily PHP-related...
The server contains a folder of "includes" that are on every page (e.g. the
header and footer, navigation bar, etc) - and all of these files are in .php
format. I try to view these .php files on the web server just to see what
they look like, and it says "Access Denied", even though I've set the
properties to allow all users to read the files in this folder. How can I
view these?

I use Dreamweaver and I try to test the files on the local host, but the

Deja Vu?

Did you install the package on your server that I recommended?

attached mail follows:

allison....

not familiar with dreamweaver to know if it can act as a webserver. i
strongly suspect that it's simply an editor, but not an actual server, that
can be used to interpret/display php code.

that said, you'll have to have access to a webserver. IIS is a webserver
from msoft. apache is a webserver from the open source community. there are
other servers as well....

you'll need to decide which, if any, you need/want to setup. you might be
better served by telling the list just what you're trying to accomplish. do
you already have a webserver where your dreamweaver files are being
displayed?

the other suggestions that you've gotten have been from people who've
pointed you to all in one apps. this may/may not be the best solution for
you.

I've reinstalled Apache2, PHP5, phpMyAdmin and MYSQl several times. I still
get the same error when i try to use phpmyadmin Can not load mysql
extensions. I checked the path it is correct, the extensions exist
in /etc/php5/extensions but they do not have a .so after them. The php.ini
file and config files appear correct from a server setup. I read you need
to put a loadmodule statement in httpd but am not sure when. The script
says not to modify this file, put mods in /etc/sisconfig. But I'm not sure
where as there are no loadmod commands in the scripts. My authorities all
appear correct.

Can anyone poiny me to the right configuration file.

Thank you!

Wouldn't apc_fetch($qry) do much the same thing?

There is no real standard for creating DTDs on the fly, and therefore libxml/DOM doesn't have any methods afaik.

The one method DOMElement::setIDAttribute() should work I think, but whilst PHP has the method, doesn’t seem todo anything. :/

DocumentType nodes are read-only in DOM thus cannot be built on the fly.
Also notice that not all components, such as ATTLIST, even have a node type.

setIDAttribute - thats on the TODO list. Were some previous libxml
issues to be resolved before that could be implemented (so it will be
added, but require a minimum libxml2 version to work).
Can always use xml:id attributes for that purpose for now though.

Is it possible to use the ($test)?$true:$false construction in a (double
quoted) string without dropping out of the string and concatenating? I have
many lines like:

$var = "first part of string ".(($a==$b)?$c:$d)." rest of string";

and I feel it would be more elegant to be able to do something like:

$var ="first part of string {(($a==$b)?$c:$d)} rest of string";
