I was working on a script that was supposed to generate PDF files on
the fly and ran into the same problem as you described. MS IE has
always been and will always be (?) a P.I.T.A. when it comes to
following standards (I am not really sure if the header application/x-
octet-steam is a standrad in order to force a download). I came up
with this little helper:
<?php
$filename = "example.pdf";
$len = filesize ($filename );
if ( ( preg_match('|MSIE ([0-9.]+)|', $agent, $version ) ) ||
( preg_match( '|Internet Explorer/([0-9.]+)|', $agent, $version ) ) )
{
header( 'Content-Type: application/x-msdownload' );
header( 'Content-Length: ' . $len );
if ( $version == '5.5' )
{
header( 'Content-Disposition: filename="' . $filename . '"' );
} else {
header( 'Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="' . $filename .
'"' );
}
} else {
header( 'Content-Type: application/pdf' );
header( 'Content-Length: ' . $len );
header( 'Content-disposition: attachment; filename=' . $filename );
}
echo file_get_contents($filename);
?>
All browsers I have tested with do show the download frame (Opera,
Safari, IE, Firefox, Mozilla browsers). But, as Richard already
mentioned, I had to "fake" the download URL, like "http://
www.site.com/downloads/example.pdf". In the folder "downloads" I put
a .htaccess file with the line "ErrorDocument 404 /link/to/my/php/
script.php".

I got it working on one server, but not the real server. I just took your
code and voila it was working (with some modifications).
It works on:
Localhost Windows
Plesk Server running Plesk 7.5
Not working on:
Plesk Server running Plesk 7.0
Then the questions is: Where should I start to search in WHY the server is
not sending the correct headers? This is becoming more and more irritating
:)

There ya go:

header("Pragma: public");
header("Expires: 0"); // set expiration time
header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0,

There are not so different at all.
Just giving the browser the job to download that thing.
Every browser likes to interpret every content-type like he wants to.
They ignore mostly every type they dislike.
That's the problem you encounter in using firefox/IE.

Run this command: sudo apt-get build-dep php5
This will get you all the packages needed to build php5, which
should be most of what is needed for php6.

The first line of Ligaya's email said: "Ubuntu Breezy Badger,

Is strange that there is not a really good solution for this problem, i
think its not very strange. Maybe i ll request this feature, I think is
interesting, useful and not so hard to add.
Anyway, I cannot use "ob_ " functions, i ll have problems with some
functions.
So, the solution seems to extend "_" function, that provides me the
posibility to report "strings" not found.
The bad think is that I ll have to make thousands of modifications in
order to implement this feature in the webpage :(
Thanks to everybody!

The documentation on posix_setsid() is a bit sparse on php.net, but the
manpage for setsid on my FreeBSD system gives:
DESCRIPTION
The setsid() system call creates a new session. The calling process is
the session leader of the new session, is the process group leader of a
new process group and has no controlling terminal. The calling process
is the only process in either the session or the process group.
I found a post on the net describing how to run a PHP-script as a
daemon, and the author used posix_setsid() for it to work. Actually, the
posix_setsid() isn't really required to disconnect the childs I/O using
PHP 5.0.4, I can just do:
<?
echo "Hello from parent\n";
if(pcntl_fork()) {
exit;
}
fclose( STDIN );
fclose( STDOUT );
fclose( STDERR );
echo "This message should not go to stdout\n";
?>
This is was I originally had in my code, but after moving to 5.1.2 I
started to experiment... :-)
A while ago, I discovered that PHP 4.3.10-2 (cli) on a Debian Linux with
2.4.27 kernel "misbehaves" as well, using posix_setsid() or not. I see
the output of the last echo command on stdout of the parent process
there also.
The plot thickens!

as a last resort you might as on internalslists.php.net as to whether
anyone there considers this a possible bug.

web browser, it seems not to be working fine, I get an
exit status of 127 (which means command not found). I
checked for permissions of ls, gave full path, but
still it is failing.
Can anybody help me in indentifying what is the
potential problem?
Thank you,

Check if safe_mode is on in your php.ini. Turn it off
if it is enabled.

This blows my mind. What should one think, "everything is an array"?
Well, okay not every but everything that's in linear consecutive
order; anything that can be indexed?
I was trying to make an array from $word but explode() doesn't take
an empty delimiter so I gave up and went for the preg_replace.
And hey yo, Jochem,
I did RTFM, for hours, I always do before I post to the list. I just
missed all the answers in the fine manual this time. Cut me some slack.
Where should I wire the Euros to?

an array is an array.
a string is a string.
characters in a string can be accessed using array-like notation using the
offset postion of the relevant char (elements are zero based)

I'd tell you to RTFM (although I did tell you to read the manual regarding
the specifics of using preg_replace()'s 'e' modifier after showing you a
working example of how to use it, based on your original code snippet)
I did berate the fact that you waited no more than 7 minutes before
sending a 'help me' reminder regarding your original post.

While I agree with most of what you are saying, you may want to check
that email again. Sams 'for Eyes burning...' email was in response to
someone privately suggesing that he use ucfirst. It was *not* a 'help
me' reminder, so drop that criticism please.
Aside from that, anyone who manages to miss ucfirst when R'ingTFM for
this problem should RTFM some more.

Yes, I'm using your example right now to help me learn this
preg_replace beast.
The php.net page on preg_replace was just to overwhelming for the
exhausted state of mind I was in.

No, that was a misunderstanding, I was just saying thanks to the guy
who said, "why not just use ulfirst()." (Which I also missed on the
php.net page on strings.)

How did you know? I was 'in' graphics for 30 years before I threw my
hands up at that lunatic world and decided to become a programmer.
I love the printing industry but ever since the Mac took over
everybody went nuts. The printers are still mad, after 15 years, that
the Mac took away their razor blades and rubylith.

Sorry, it was a throwback to my C days -- using ucfist() is better.

According to the manual, header() will replace previous "similar
headers" with the new one sent, which would be
header("Content-Type: application/download");
"The optional replace parameter indicates whether the header should
replace a previous similar header, or add a second header of the same
type. By default it will replace, but if you pass in FALSE as the second
argument you can force multiple headers of the same type"
[1]http://php.net/header
As for the value of Content-Type it doesn't matter, you only have to
specify an unknown (MIME) type so the browser won't know what to do with
it, hence forcing to download the file.
As minor notes (after reading a bit the RFC)... "Expires" is expected
to be a date, not a number, and "Pragma" value conflicts with
Cache-control, since...
public
Indicates that the response MAY be cached by any cache, even if it
would normally be non-cacheable or cacheable only within a non-
shared cache. (See also Authorization, section 14.8, for
additional details.)
Also, it seems we're given a wrong use for "must-revalidate" (me
included), that or I misunderstood the RFC documentation --I didn't even
found "pre-check" & "post-check". Content-Disposition is not part of
the HTTP standard and Content-Transfer-Encoding is ignored, since both
seem to be for e-mail usage (LOL) --and it's possible values are
"quoted-printable" o "base64"--. Finally, "Content-Length" and
"Content-Type" seem to apply only if "had the request been a GET".
Interesting what you learn reading the RFCs, too bad they're too long
and sometimes not that clear.

I'm still not sure I see the danger. By which I'm not saying that I deny
there is danger, just that I don't see this.
In both cases cited above, the malicious user has to write the code into
my script that says to include($untrusted_var). And, again, it seems to
me that if the malicious user has made it far enough to gain enough
access to be able to do that, the damage is already done. They already
have full access and full write capability, and could do any number of
crazy things.
I understand that I am being warned of a potential security risk, and I
hope to come to understand it. But can someone show me more explicitly
how someone could exploit a dynamic include() function with simple
access through forms? And, can that access be exploited even when fairly
common restrictions on form data is implemented (such as no tags and such)?

PHP List,
I am in the preliminary stages of designing my first object oriented PHP
based web site.
I've created file called "article.class" and included it in my index.php
file. I put in a very simple echo statement, just as a place marker
before I put in the real code, and just to make sure that the index.php
file is successfully including the class.
So far, it just looks like this (including line numbers):
4. class article{
5. public function edit(){
6. echo "test";
7. }
8. }
However, when I view my index.php, it says:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION
or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' in /web/article.class on line 5
Of course I consulted the PHP manual to make sure that I had the class
syntax correct, and it seems that I've followed the basic structure as
described there.
Where have I gone wrong?
Thank you for any advice.

Yes, it turns out that I am using PHP 4, and I thought I was using 5.
Thank you for pointing it out.
Now I have to consider whether or not to make my code PHP 4 compatible,
or upgrade to version 5.

You could just parse the dates out and feed them to mktime(), subtract
the difference between the two (in seconds) and use that to determin the
number of days...
Something like:

$date2 = date('m/d/Y');

Your database will have this function. In PostgreSQL:
SELECT data_column - NOW() AS date_diff;
There are similar functions for MySQL. Otherwise, consider
converting your dates to unix time and subtracting the two
numbers to find the date difference in seconds. These maay also be
your friends:
