Lots of the them out there.. google "php ajax chat"
My personal favourite though has to be http://yurivish.com/yshout/
Bare in mind though, any PHP webserver based chat, will have a HUGE
demand on the server. Check your bandwidth constantly, it's gonna increase.

So let me get the idea..
User comes onto the website, User talks to webmaster. Does the webmaster
want to talk to everybody at the same time? Or just to one user at a time?

If you use .inc extension you will have to modify the apache so they do
not show:
RedirectMatch 404 /^.*\.(inc)$/
Thus, if you try to access the file using the navigator it will show a
"Page not found" error :-D

Worryingly I agree with Greg here - this is on-topic because it relates
to the way PHP processes GET and POST vars.

That is indeed the solution, but I think it's important to explain why
this is happening.
Take the example where you have 3 checkboxes, named photo1, photo2 and
photo3. Say photo2 and photo3 are checked, the POST data will look like
this...
photo2=on&photo3=on
Now consider the same 3 checkboxes, but all named photos[]. Since the
browser knows nothing about the square brackets, it creates the POST
data in the same way...
photos[]=on&photos[]=on
Now you see the problem. Nothing in that data indicates which checkboxes
were checked. By doing what Tijnema suggests you would end up with...
photos[]=2&photos[]=3
Hopefully that explains why what you've implemented is doing what it's
doing and will help you avoid problems like this in future.

Morning guys,
this is not exactly a PHP question, but as I am sure that I am talking to
more or less professional developers, I thought I might ask you.
As I am working on some... well, for my standards... huge project, I thought
that some kind of project management software would / could be helpful to
keep track of my ideas, tasks and so on. Right now I am using a huge chunk
of papers to keep track (as good as I can).
Has any of you any experience with good project management software? Best
would be OpenSource, of course :o) My boss doesn't want to spend a lot of
money ;o)
Cheers guys,

Hi Chris
You could try basecamp... one project is free I believe.

So very much not on-topic, and you knew that. Did you Google? At all?
There are lots of project management systems out there, and the best
ones will usually bubble up to the surface when you Google for open
source project management.
Personally I use Trac because it integrates very nicely with subversion
and provides the primary functionality I need (Wiki, tickets and
milestone tracking). It also has great extensibility if you need
something it doesn't provide by default.
But, like I said, off-topic. Now please Google your arse off.

If you're working on your own, I would think realistically about how much
you would use such software. I've used Basecamp, Trac, MS Project and others
in the past and find them a waste of time. My favourite tool is simply an A4
lab book. (I know this doesn't scale, but it fits the bill perfectly for
now).
For initial brainstorming/idea tracking, I do use FreeMind though.

I assume you've mapped drive X to the network share for the user that
Apache runs as? If not are you really surprised that it can't find that
file?
Try using the UNC path ("\\\\server\\share\\Transfer\\test.dbf") [note
double backslashes]. If that still doesn't work then it's likely a
permissions issue.

Does the user Apache is running as have permission to access the network
at all? It's fairly common for services to lack that access for
(shockingly for Windows) security reasons. The easiest way to test it is
to stop the Apache service and run it manually as your user. If it works
like that then your problem is definitely permissions-related and you
should consult your sysadmin (or Google if you don't have one).

Ave,
UNC paths didn't work, i.e., ("\\\\server\\share\\Transfer\\test.dbf").
I have no clue how to Run Apache as a particular User on Windows! I
installed Apache using the Installer available - but I really don't know
anything else 'user' related about Apache.
Both "SYSTEM" and the Computer I'm running all this on have Full Control
Permissions to the Network Share.

Ave,
Instead of going back & forth on various function & path tests, I wrote a
small code containing different suggested combinations of PATH and also the
gettype() as Jim had requested. Following is the Code and the Output.
Code:
$filename = 'X:\send\Transfer\LIVE\live.txt';
echo gettype($filename)."<br>";
if (file_exists($filename)) {
echo "The file $filename Exists<br>";
} else {
echo "The file $filename does NOT Exist<br><br>";
}
$filename1 = 'X:\\send\\Transfer\\LIVE\\live.txt';
echo gettype($filename1)."<br>";
if (file_exists($filename1)) {
echo "The file $filename1 Exists<br>";
} else {
echo "The file $filename1 does NOT Exist<br><br>";
}
$filename2 = 'X:/send/Transfer/LIVE/live.txt';
echo gettype($filename2)."<br>";
if (file_exists($filename2)) {
echo "The file $filename2 Exists<br>";
} else {
echo "The file $filename2 does NOT Exist<br><br>";
}
$filename3 = 'X://send//Transfer//LIVE//live.txt';
echo gettype($filename3)."<br>";
if (file_exists($filename3)) {
echo "The file $filename3 Exists<br>";
} else {
echo "The file $filename3 does NOT Exist<br><br>";
}
$filename4 = '\\Foresight\send\Transfer\LIVE\live.txt';
echo gettype($filename4)."<br>";
if (file_exists($filename4)) {
echo "The file $filename4 Exists<br>";
} else {
echo "The file $filename4 does NOT Exist<br><br>";
}
$filename5 = '\\\\Foresight\\send\\Transfer\\LIVE\\live.txt';
echo gettype($filename5)."<br>";
if (file_exists($filename5)) {
echo "The file $filename5 Exists<br>";
} else {
echo "The file $filename5 does NOT Exist<br><br>";
}
$filename6 = '//Foresight/send/Transfer/LIVE/live.txt';
echo gettype($filename6)."<br>";
if (file_exists($filename6)) {
echo "The file $filename6 Exists<br>";
} else {
echo "The file $filename6 does NOT Exist<br><br>";
}
$filename7 = '////Foresight//send//Transfer//LIVE//live.txt';
echo gettype($filename7)."<br>";
if (file_exists($filename7)) {
echo "The file $filename7 Exists<br>";
} else {
echo "The file $filename7 does NOT Exist<br><br>";
}

Well, I'll say you've dramatically upped the ante by having an Apache server
on a windows box attempt to mount and read a file on a MacOS machine. Yipes!
So let me get this straight:
* Apache is on Windows Server 2003.
* PHP is running on Apache.
* A folder containing scripts/data/both is on a MacOSX machine.
* A user from frontierland knocks on PHP's front host.com:80 door and says,
"Please..."
* PHP -> Apache: "Gimme gimme [resource P]"
* Apache says, "Ok, let me get the data from location X."
* Apache -> location X: "Pretty Please, gimme gimme."
* location X -> Apache: "[barf]"
* Apache -> PHP: "No luck."
========
Can you, from the Windows 2003 machine, manually access the folder/file that
you're asking PHP (through Apache) to access? Unless the service that Apache
is running under has permissions to communicate with the share resource
(location X), this will always fail.
Steps:
1) From Win2003 box, open My Computer and attempt to physically navigate to
the remote network share you attempting to access. If at all possible, use
the exact user permission set that Apache runs under. To determine this,
right-click on the bottom, right corner of the Win2003 desktop above the
time and select "Task Manager," Processes tab, click to sort on Image Name
tab, and look for Apache.exe. The user name associated with this executable
will be the permissions you will need to use.
2) If you cannot connect to the network resource, then at least you have a
permissions issue (it may be others, though). Get this working first.
3) If you can connect, open, read, write, and execute from this permission
set (user/group), then you're at least sure that the machines can talk.
Next, you will need to determine if the Apache UID permissions are acting up
(in Safe Mode, this is entirely possible, and a black art in itself...).
4) Once you've determine Win/Mac communications and Apache server
permissions aren't impeding the process, you can work on the actual script
issues which may be present.
Remember, the computers need to be able to communicate and interact, then
apache/IIS/other, then PHP. Verify the simplest potential problems first,
then work your way up into the place where the problem currently exists.
Getting Macs to be on speaking terms with Win machines, I would think, would
be a MAJOR headache if you've never done it before. One essentially speaks
Polish, while the other speaks Italian.

Jared,
I think you got a little confused with a previous post of mine. Mac OS X is
Not in this scenario at all!!! So completely Eradicate it from this current
Scenario.
This is a complete PHP/Apache on Windows 2003 Scenario. That's it!
So what it is supposed to be is:
* PHP5 / Apache2.2 on Windows Server 2003
* Folder on another Windows Machine on the Network contains some files
(mapped as network drive "X:\")
* PHP trying to read file on X:\ from Apache on Windows 2003.
There's really nothing else to it.

Yes! Without any problems! I can easily navigate to the X: drive on that
Windows Machine, and do anything I want with files there. I have all
permissions.

Ok, I was under the impression this was one Win2003 machine in a Mac
network.
There's really nothing else to it.

Are you running Apache under a different (non-privileged) account on the
Win2003 machine? If Apache is running as a service with a different username
(with no extended access to network resources), you will need to get Apache
to run as a service under a user that can access the network resource. And I
still think you should use non-mapped addresses instead of mapped addresses,
since a mapping is just a localized version of a resource name alias.
If, after determing that Apache is running with the right permissions for
the owned processes to connect to and use a network shared resource, then
it's probably an Apache UID conflict (is PHP in safe mode?).

Problem is, I don¹t know how to mess with how & under what user Apache is
running and no one else here does either so basically I have to figure
this one out! I would like to, as you suggested, try and ³get Apache to run
as a service under a user that can access the network resource².
I definitely agree about using non-mapped addresses and using the actual

Well, I have already described how to do this two posting ago (and the
advice from another user was to read the Apache documentation...):
1) Go to Win2003 desktop
2) Right-click on bottom, right part of desktop (right on top of the clock).
3) Select 'Task Manager', click Processes Tab, sort Image Name by clicking
tab.
4) Find 'apache.exe' or some variation of.
5) Look at the username associated with the process.
If this is 'System' or something type of special user (or a basic user
without network privileges extended to it), then you will need to modify
this by:
1) Locate the My Computer link on your desktop.
2) Right-click on top of the link, select "Manage", choose 'Services and
Applications', and select Services.
3) Find the apache service, double click to open properties, click on the
'Log On' tab, and see what user it is setup to use.
If this is a system account, I would think you would need to change this to
a network account, preferably one for which the password will not expire...
If apache is not running as a service, then you will need to determine how
it is starting up, and modify that to run under a different process with
modified user permissions.
I definitely agree about using non-mapped addresses and using the actual

For ease on the eyes, mappings are great, but they are not reliable for
programming purposes, IMHO.
For the advanced PHP gurus on the list, is it accurate to characterize PHP
as relying on Apache for file manipulation? Is it accurately described as:
Process Request->PHP->Apache->[File System Poof!]->Apache->PHP->Process
??? Just making sure I have this characterization correct.

Adding [CSS] to the subject does not make this on-topic. Please try a

Hello,
I have folder A with the following php script:
<?php
session_start();
$_SESSION['dummy']=10;
echo $_SESSION['dummy'];
?>
in folder B (same level as A), there is
<?php
session_start();
echo $_SESSION['dummy'];
?>
when running the script in B, in can see the value 10. How can I make sure that the $_SESSION['dummy'] is not shared between the two scripts? I could change the name but that would not be convenient.
Thank you

You'll have to change the name. The whole point of sessions is to allow
scripts to share variables between requests.

Session vars are available for every script that is run after the
session has started. If you want to stop the session for te remainder of
the script, you can use session_write_close().

I think you are missing the point of using sessions completely.
There is a way, however, and that would be to set the dummy session
variable to an empty array and then kill off the session.

Hello,
Thank you for the answers. The issue is that the same codes are in folders A and B. When they are run from two different browsers, I am getting the behavior I 'd like to see with two session ids being created and therefore no sharing of $_SESSION variables. But when the two apps are opened inside the same browser, the $_SESSION variables are shared and that makes sense because session_id() returns the same value. It would be be nice that when the app in A is running and the user starts the app in B, in the same browser widow, the server and php are instructed to realize that this is a brand new session and assign a new session_id() which would solve my problem. Is there a way to achieve that?

So what your saying, is that.. you want a webpage open twice but with
different session_id? The only way to do that would be to create a
session_id yourself, eg. session_id(time().rand(0,1000));
Then pass that id through your scripts via POST or GET, start the
session using that ID. You can then start as many sessions as you like.

It's frickin' annoying!
Why?
Please don't top post!
What you're wanting to do can be achieved by setting the path on the
session cookies. You may be able to do this by calling ini_set to change
session.cookie_path before calling session_start.

Not really, I just tend to be a bit more vocal about it.

I don't think Stut gets annoyed more than any of the others on this list.
Please remember though that
a) Stut's answers tend to be very high quality and
b) Top posting is damn annoying. (Maybe this should be point (a)...)

I think that what you want is a different session *name* for each application.
To get this, just call session_name() with the appropriate value immediately before every session_start(). For example, for the files in A you could use:
session_name('SESSID_A');
session_start();
whilst those in B would have:
session_name('SESSID_B');
session_start();

That's a good solution; it works fine. Thank you

Are those two solutions equivalent or are there circumstances where one would be better than the other?

Changing the session name is better, and I'm kicking myself for not
thinking of it. It's more portable because you won't have to change the
code if you move it to another location.

I don't have experience with both, but I can recommend dapx.com, fast
and cheap. Buying the hosting itself is sometimes a little bit slow,
but it's worth.
It has a very nice PHP configuration, safe_mode off, open_basedir on, etc.

One of my customers uses mediatemple. I've had good experience with
their Dedicated Virtual Server solution. I recently migrated their old
MT server to the new setup that uses CentOS 4.4, PHP 4.3.9, and MySQL
4.1.20. It's nice because it's a completely isolated Virtual Server with
root access to configure things as you please. Since they use the free
CentOS it's easy to compile stuff in a VMWare clone and migrate the
binaries over. General admin goes through Plesk which is pretty much
idiot proof.
Cheers,
Rob.

Yeah, for case-insensitive functions would a bool be a lot better,
like the strstr function, the current syntax is (also for the
case-insensitive function stristr):
string strstr ( string $haystack, string $needle )
It would be a lot better to have it like this:
string strstr ( string $haystack, string $needle, bool $case_sensitive )
The trim functions are fine for me..

Hi,
Summary:
1. I execute script1 that will run in the background (daemon)
2. script1 needs to execute script2 and capture STDERR, STDOUT and
exitcode from script2 if script2 exits before SIGTERM is received.
3. If I send SIGTERM to script1 it should kill script2, and write to
DB (or log file some information that it was stopped)
Simple, isn't it? But I cannot seam to get it to work. Anyone with
some example code that does the same thing?
=========
More complex description
I have some scripts (perl, c, php, or anything else) that simple
independent scripts that do some stuff and output STDOUT and STDERR
and exit with an exitcode. There scripts will be kept like this, and
will not change their behavior.
Now I need to control them and also log their STDOUT, STDERR and
exitcode. Ok, that far I have come, so that I am logging the STDOUT,
STDERR and exitcode. What I am doing is that I have created an
executer that takes care of this and writing it to DB.
Now I need to add a functionality so that when the executer receives a
SIGTERM signal it should kill the script (that was started with a
exec() call, and then log some information to the DB (that the script
was killed etc).
I have registered the signal SIGTERM with pcntl_signal(SIGTERM,
"sig_handler"). When I am testing I just write some info to a file
when the signal is received. I created a simple testing script with a
while(true) loop and then send the signal to the script and it
successfully writes the information to the logflie.
Ok, now I instead of a while(true) loop make an exec() call to a
script (that is running for ever) and send the signal, then it does
not write to the file as it is supposed to. I guess it is because the
script is busy running the exec command.
I tried to then exec() it in the background. The problem there is that
it becomes a daemon and then I cannot know what that script is doing,
and it will not send any SIGCHLD to the parent, or it does, but to
init. Or actually there will be a SIGCHLD sent, as the exec() will
open its own shell, and then the shell will exit and we get the
SIGCHLD from the shell instead of the executed script.
Is there any way to get the "child" process PID when you exec() and
send it to the background? But then, how can I capture the exitcode?
The STDERR and STDOUT is fine as I can direct it to a file and get it
from there.
I have a really ugly workarounds: I could append an dummy variable to
the execution of the script and then do a grep of the ps -ef to get
the PID of that script.

have alot more reading to do before I can get that right.
One other thing... What I did to test it was in the $FName field I
typed: "Jason"; "SELECT * FROM table"; and it inserted the value, but
didn't execute the code, Am I correct in thinking that I'm fairly

attached mail follows:
I'm not sure exactly what kind of sanitization you think you're doing, but
if all you do is check to see if it's empty (empty() implements isset(),
empty() checks to see if it's set, then if it evaluates to an empty
variable), that's not much sanitization.
What you need to do is check for SQL injections, which means you need to
sanitize GPC (GET, POST, COOKIES) to prevent the following (only a
demonstration):
SELECT `colname` FROM `tablename` WHERE id='$variable' LIMIT 0,10
What happens if $variable is equal to:
$variable = $_POST['somedata'];
And $_POST['somedata'] ~ " 'INSERT INTO users
VALUES('name','password','AdminGroup')' ";
This is an example of a possible SQL injection (which means unknown SQL code
is running through your script access). The way to prevent this is to escape
single quotes before insert/select, and also turn all html entities into
escaped values (so that someone cannot put a <script></script> block into
the signature for their user, for example).
The good thing is, there are numerous help sites online that describe how to
do this. Generally, you're better off wrapping your SQL commands into a
class or at least a series of functions, so that you can implement your
sanitization once and use it for all database interactions.

You need to consider someone entering scripts that could do bad things when the data is sent to a web site. You use the function htmlspecialchars() for this (or one of its siblings).
You should also use mysql_real_eascape_string() on any data being inserted into your database.
But you must deal with magic quotes first. If they are enabled, I remove them from my posted variables as the first step.

I cannot see any sql-injection protection in your code anywhere? Seems
as your using mysqli, take a look at the mysqli_real_escape_string()
function. You need to run each _POST variable throught it.
$FName = mysqli_real_escape_string($_POST['FName']);
Or if your post data only contains data to be entered into the database,
you might consider running everything through the function to make
things easier:
foreach($_POST as $k => $v)
$_POST[$k] = mysqli_real_escape_string($v);

Also, you should be checking against type (expecting a number? a boolean
value? a string?) and then checking against expected length requirements
(such as firstname can only be 80 characters long max, so maybe check for
<code>
if (strlen($var) > 80) {
do something;
}
</code>
In unit testing, you build your objects first against types and perform
object checks using type verification and expected element attributes (such
as length, non-null values, etc...). If someone is posting a string of 8000
letters into a field that is supposed to contain a number two letters long,
before it is stored, maybe you manage that...
