I have installed the RPM version of PHP that came with a Linux dist. Obviously, it didn't came with a lot of the goodies, like ODBC. Now, if I have to install those modules, is there anyway I can "JUST" compile those modules and install it with /etc/php.ini ? Is this a recommended way? Or should I just re-compile everything? That will really defeat the purpose of a packaging system.... Jason Lam
Well if you are using Linux you could try looking for a .o file or I think they have RPMs for some of these that just have a .o file in them and then configure php for you. Basically what you are looking for is a php_$whatever_module. Like I downloaded php_imap_mod.rpm and php_mysql_mod.rpm I am sure they have an ODBC. If not then you will have to do it the hard way and find a ODBC.o or something that has been compiled with php before, put it in the correct directory (I cant remember which) and then edit /etc/php.ini to load in the module when php is run. If you still cant find any of this for a module you want.... sorry you will have to recompile. :) Oh by the way all the stuff I described above is a sinch with Debian Linux :) (not that I am partial).

Here is a simple form file that needs to pass a variable - $hello - from the form to a new function. Unfortunately, it doesn't. When you click the submit button, the URL looks like this: http://localhost/test5.php?action=1&hello= It should have the variable there after the "hello=" I suspect it's something to do with parent.location. Looking for a solution. Here's the script: <head> </head> <body bgcolor=white> <? define(INITIAL_PAGE,0); define(SELECT,1); function initial_page(){ global $PHP_SELF,$hello; print "<form action = '$PHP_SELF?action=1' method = 'post' name = 'hello'>"; print "<input type='text' name='hello'>"; print "<input name = 'hello' type='button' value='Submit' onClick=\"parent.location='$PHP_SELF?action=1&hello=$hello'\">"; print "</form>"; } function select(){ global $hello; print "Hellooooooooooo, $hello!"; } initial_page(); switch($action){ case INITIAL_PAGE: initial_page; break; case SELECT: select(); break; default: die ("Hello, can't find that function."); } ?> </body> </html> The thing is that if you simply hit "enter" - rather than click the "submit" button, the first directive in the <form> tag is invoked, and the value of the $hello variable IS passed. regards Martin Cameron
Hi I think it woulf be better this way:print "<form action = '$PHP_SELF?action=1' method = 'post' name = 'hello'>";
print "<input type='text' name='var_hello'>";
print "<input type = submit value = 'Submit' >";
and, the var name is $var_hello
this way, the value of your var do not appear in the URL,
This work for me...

I suspect it's something to do with parent.location. Looking for a
solution. Here's the script:<head>
</head>
<body bgcolor=white>
<?
define(INITIAL_PAGE,0);
define(SELECT,1);
function initial_page(){
global $PHP_SELF,$hello;
print "<form action = '$PHP_SELF?action=1' method = 'post'

print "<input type='text' name='hello'>";
print "<input name = 'hello' type='button' value='Submit'
>";print "</form>";
}function select(){
global $hello;
print "Hellooooooooooo, $hello!";
}initial_page();
switch($action){
case INITIAL_PAGE:
initial_page;
break;
case SELECT:
select();
break;
default:
die ("Hello, can't find that function.");
}
?>
</body>
</html>The thing is that if you simply hit "enter" - rather than click the
"submit" button, the first directive in the <form> tag is invoked, and
the value of the $hello variable IS passed.regards
Martin Cameron
In addition, it's worth of note that whenever something has a name attribute it that will show up as a variable in your script. More or less. One question though. Why does your <form> have a name attribute at all? And naming it the same as a variable, for whatever reason, isn't a good idea if for no other reason than it's confusing. It got a weird look from me...not that that makes it very unusual... -- Plutarck Should be working on something... ...but forgot what it was.

Hi Rene I think that I first used a submit button about html ver 2.0.

Surely this is going ot cause you a problem. also, you seem to be mixing GET and POST when calling the FORM action script; you might be better to pass the value action as a hidden field. -- David Robley | WEBMASTER & Mail List Admin RESEARCH CENTRE FOR INJURY STUDIES | http://www.nisu.flinders.edu.au/ AusEinet | http://auseinet.flinders.edu.au/ Flinders University, ADELAIDE, SOUTH AUSTRALIA Ensign Pillsbury: He's bread Jim!
I have searched high and low for thos but with no luck. Hopefully someone will give me some good pointers. I have a poll on a page that I am building which uses php. I would like to have a new window open when the submit and view results links are selected. I am using an onClick and the view results window works fine. It is the submit button I am having trouble with. The new window won't populate with any info. Here is the form that I have on my page <form method="post" action="vote.php"> <div class="pollTitle"><? echo $question; ?></div> <div class="pollResponse"> <input type="Radio" name="response" value="1"><? echo $response1; ?><br> <input type="Radio" name="response" value="2"><? echo $response2; ?><br> <input type="Radio" name="response" value="3"><? echo $response3; ?><br></div> <input type="hidden" name="id" value="<? echo $id; ?>"> <font size=-2><a href="#" onClick="window.open('archive.php?id=<? echo $id; ?>','archive','toolbar=no,status=no.location=no,menubar=no,top=50,left=50,he ight=250,width=200,scrollbars=no'); return false;">view results</a></font><br><br> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Vote" onClick="window.open('http://www.askedagain.com/vote.php','vote','toolbar=no ,status=no.location=no,menubar=no,top=50,left=50,height=250,width=200,scroll bars=no'); return false;"> </form> The vote script works fine as if I just have it load in the current browser window. Is there something that I am missing? Any help and/or ideas are much appreciated. Thanks again. CAA
First of all, I believe since you are using javascript on your button you shouldn't use type="submit". Change it to type="button", which means it will have no effect for browsers that don't have javascript enabled when clicked. That could be an error, for one. But then again, it might not. It might cause it to be submitted to one page and opened on another, which very well may be what you want to happen. However it might be that the window is being opened first then the data is submitted second, thus the error that's being caused. To fix it just add the window.open function in the <head> area of your document, so that as soon as the page is viewed the window pops up. Annoying if the user hits refresh, but what you could do is use a Meta-Refresh to take them from the page that pops up the window to the page that user should be normally seing. Next, how is it that you are getting the data and what data are you getting? For instance, are you using the id you are submitting to the other page to see how that user voted? Or are you just tracking who's viewing that page? Further, does what you are displaying depend on what id is being submitted? Lastly, view source on your HTML page and ensure all the fields are getting filled out like you expect them to. It happens all the time that by using View Source I find what my problem was. -- Plutarck Should be working on something... ...but forgot what it was.

What kind of > solutions/workarounds have you implemented? Here's a solution I've used with a lot of success. I concocted it myself a year or so ago after trying a number of other alternatives. // Set INC_PATH. ereg( '(.*)htdocs.*', $SCRIPT_FILENAME, $regs ); define( 'INC_PATH', $regs[1] . 'inc/' ); // Include files. include( INC_PATH . "inc_common.php" ); ... include( INC_PATH . "inc_db.php" ); Nearly all of the sites I design are controlled from a single PHP file using some Apache AliasMatch magic so I usually only have to set the INC_PATH constant in one file and include the main include files in the same place. So the include directory (inc) is parallel to my web docs directory. The parent of both is a directory called 'production', which has directories parallel to it called 'development' and 'staging' which allows me to run 3 versions of the site, each on 3 separate ports and copy code from one version to the other and run them with no modifications. -- Steve Werby President, Befriend Internet Services LLC http://www.befriend.com/

Or it could be RC8 that will be the last one :) Then again, that's why it's called an RC (Release Candidate...or something similar).

Please can someone tell me there is a nice function that can calculate the difference between two dates. If there isn't such a function I'm sure someone could tell me how I can do a different way.
Try mkdate. You'll have to make sure it's in a format it knows, but it works. -- Plutarck Should be working on something... ...but forgot what it was.

This loong way was the first, that came to my mind for cases, where regexp realy needed. (If they are not needed, str_replace() would work faster/simlier, you know o'cos:). Note: for some strings I experience hangup, especially w/ereg_replace, but also, for long ones, w/preg0. Regards. Leonid.
Before anyone get's confused I thought I should note that $this won't work because I need the name of the object for use _outside_ of the class itself too. For instance I have a group of about 30 functions in a seperate file which directly modify $front_page. $front_page will now be inside of an object, and I _could_ just change them to $pge->front_page, but here's the problem. I'm doing all this so I can have variable function output. So for now I use the object name $pge to output data, but in the future I may need to use $xml or $pge_error. But I don't want to go through all the functions and change the names, so I use a variable variable. But I don't know how to get the variable variable name! So what I want is to see what name $this is holding, then declare what comes after $ as the value of a global variable which I will use in a variable variable. I know, I know, it's really complicated. But it really is the most non-constraining way of going about it, as I'm probably going to use this class many times in the future. So I'm still stumped. Am I going to have to just use a hack-around till a version of PHP includes such an odd class function, of which I know of know other such existing function in any language? :( -- Plutarck Should be working on something... ...but forgot what it was.

*sigh* I'm thinking so too ;( Doh! However, I have at least a usable hack around. In the constructor of your class, add: function Class ($object_name) { global $pge; $pge = $object_name; } Then when you use create a new object of that type you must use: $objectname = new Class('objectname'); Then in your code you just use ${$pge}-> to refer to it.

The best way is to use an email list manager. I remember someone suggesting one, but I've totally forgotten it now. Personally the way I would do it is take the first list and load all the email addys into the Bcc field. Or break them up into small chunks of less than 50 at a time, since trying to pop out an email with 1000 recipients will get you flagged as spamming (which is at least an inconvenience to have to talk with your admin) and could cause SMTP to choke. But less than 50 at a time shouldn't do any harm. Then finish up with all the emails in that list, then go to another function to spit another round. So I'd set up the function to take the ID of the list to email, which would email all the users as mentioned above. I'd have the function in a loop which checks how many lists there are, then feeds them one at a time to the function. Easy to alter later, and it's a weensy bit easier to debug. -- Plutarck Should be working on something... ...but forgot what it was.

I have posted the following message a couple of times on the php-db list and have not gotten a response. I am hoping someone here is willing to help.

> Read_sql SELECT * FROM TBL_Picture WHERE FLD_FileName = > "SailBoat.jpg"and FLD_Path =" /var/www/html/slidecollection/WinterCarnival" This is a little hideous. For one thing, you should probably use ' and not ". It may not make a difference to MySQL, but it does to other databases you may use in the future. For the FLD_Path comparison, you are looking for something that specifically STARTS with a space. I'd bet this is why the script is getting 0 rows back - probably none of your FLD_Path's start with a space. Jason
Thanks for the pointer about ' vs ". I have changed my code to used these. The code is a lot cleaner. I am still getting a not found error. Below is the new "cleaner" messages that I display. One point that may be important, FLD_Name and FLD_Path are the primary key. Couple of questions, can I recreate the same key and use just one name (looks like I could) and would this help with the problem.

The eregi_replace syntax would be: $string = eregi_replace(".*Wish(.+)numbers", "\\1", $page); It should be noted that I prefer preg_replace, but that's neither here nor there. That _should_ work.

Hi, all - Hoping someone can help me with this..I have a client who has a webiste with a number of php3 scripts in it, and we're having a spate of problems relating to migration to php4. 1) I need to know what needs to be done to convert php3 scripts to be compatible with php4. These are scripts largely to do with counters, statistics, date & time functions, and the like. What needs to be done to their extensions as well? 2) Not having access to that info at the time, we decided to go back to php3 - and then ran into a host of security issues re visibility of the html directory. The requisite libraries were there, apache was configured to work with php3, and so forth. If anyone can explain how security issues arose, and give me some faint clue as to how to prevent that from ever happening again,I will try to send maple syrup. 8) 3) Can anyone begin to explain the rationale for making php3 and php4 so utterly incompatible? Thanks in advance, Alpha
S.J. Basic syntax that you would be using in things like counters, statistics, date and time functions hasn't changed much at all...I don't have personal experience with php3, but i know that the developers of php4 have tried hard to make php4 very compatible with php3...i'm sure you'll get an e-mail in a second from several others saying the same thing....as far as security issues, that's not very descriptive, so its hard to understand exactly what's happening...explain what you're doing better and you'll get a more helpful response... all the best, jack "S.J.

Check out the FAQ on php.net to see about migration issues. They have a section in there...or is it in the manual...well it's in one of those somewhere. First, what security issues are you having? If code is being displayed to the browser it's because the extension is probably not correctly figured. When you start with PHP4 I believe the standard is it will use .php3 and .php, but leave off .php4 and .inc. So you'll need to add those into your server configuration files. On the final question, great care was taken to make PHP4 compatible with PHP3, but certain things are just blasted impossible. Preserving complete compatibility would be little more than a big speed-bump in the road of progress, so to speak :) Then again, it's easy for me to not complain because I started learning on PHP4, hehe. -- Plutarck Should be working on something... ...but forgot what it was.

Ok. I have looked at all my options for creating account dynamically from a webpage, and have not come up with much. I want to create an user account that only creates a mail account. I think I can do this with the useradd command (I am running Linux). Like this: useradd accountname -s /bin/false then I could su into the accountname and run the passwd command. Now I could do this, with PHP using the popen() function. There is only 1 problem. I would have to run all this as root since only root is able to run this command. And even if I could it would be a big no no to somehow make PHP become root and then run this command. Any other suggestions on how to create an account dynamically with PHP or how to modify what I about the useradd command to get this to work? Thanks -- ------------------------------- Clayton Bluhm Computer Engineering Student [EMAIL PROTECTED] (School) [EMAIL PROTECTED] (home)
One way is to use a cron job to handle the account adding from a text file, which PHP will write the data into. Since the cron job will use only the account name and password the user submitted it's much less of a security risk. -- Plutarck Should be working on something... ...but forgot what it was.

Thanks I would recommend installing PHP as a CGI and making the script that calls useradd owned by root and implementing some sort of authentication scheme to prevent unauthorized use or I would write the useradd command to a database (or text file) and have a bash script owned by root check it for entries from a cron job and run the commands if entries are found. -- Steve Werby President, Befriend Internet Services LLC http://www.befriend.com/

Hello everybody, My host seems to be having some weird problems. Here's a piece of code: if (($this_month_sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM $mysql_shows_table WHERE month = '$thismonth' ORDER BY timestamp ASC")) && ($next_month_sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM $mysql_shows_table WHERE month = '$nextmonth' ORDER BY timestamp ASC"))) { do this(); } else { print ("<font face=Arial size=2>MySQL query <b>DIDN'T RETURN DATA</b><br>Error No.:". mysql_errno(). "<br>MySQL Error:". mysql_error(). "</font><Br>"); } Now, this is the error that I get from this: MySQL query DIDN'T RETURN DATA Error No.:1064 MySQL Error:You have an error in your SQL syntax near 'WHERE month = '4' ORDER BY timestamp ASC' at line 1 Why I get this, I don't know. The code hasn't changed in a few days, and it just started doing that today. This also works on my home Win2k box, and Slackware box. The versions of PHP, MySQL, and apache are the same on my host and on my Linux box. The version of php and mysql are the same on ALL of the machines (host, Win2k, Slackware). Any ideas?

Yup...it was the table. I have 2 sets of variables on my config.inc file. One is for my local servers, the others are for remote servers (the host).

Forgive me for my ignorance, but I've noticed some unwanted behavior (IMO, at least) with the is_link() function. Given the simple code.. if ( is_link ("/tmp/this_is_a_symlink") ) print ("Success\n"); and the file.. lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5 Apr 23 21:19 /tmp/this_is_a_symlink -> /bin/ the above obviously prints 'Success\n'. However, if I break the symlink, with something like the following.. lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Apr 23 21:21 /tmp/this_is_a_symlink -> foo the script fails with.. Warning: stat failed for /tmp/this_is_a_symlink (errno=2 - No such file or directory) in ./test.php on line 3. The file /tmp/this_is_a_symlink is still a symlink, so it seems to me that the is_link() function should still return true, whether or not the symlink's target exists. Is there perhaps a function I have yet to discover that provides that behavior, without verifying the link's target? I ask this because much of linux's /proc contains (intentionally) broken symlink's and is_link()'s behavior is making the scouring of /proc very difficult on me. ;) Thanks for any input.. J. Jones

Yes.. the script was executed as root, so permissions aren't an issue. ;) The error, I believe, is generated from is_link() trying to do a stat() on the link's target, which doesn't exist. The symlink is broken the second time around (foo doesn't exist).
What's the best (secure?) way of transmitting sensitive information over email? I'm helping some friends build an online order form. They have a Thawte certificate and are already using it for the order form, but they would like the information to be emailed to them when an order is placed. The problem is, the information contains everything, the person's name, address, credit card information. Obviously I can't just email this over over the ether, so how do people deal with this type of stuff?

Obviously I can't just email this over > over the ether, so how do people deal with this type of stuff? Use PGP to encrypt the mail. The web server will need to have a PGP environment set up for the user running the httpd (usually "nobody" on a Linux box). Thus, PHP and access and execute PGP. Set up PGP on the recipients' computer. Probably a good idea to make the email address "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" or "sales@", and not an individual user - makes it easier to manage a bunch of people receiving orders. Export the public key for the recipient's address, and send it to the web server. Have the sysadmin import the public key into the web server's user's PGP keyring with full trust and privileges, as this will stop PGP asking "do you really want to trust this user?" in the middle of a batch process and thus breaking everything. Once you can PGP encrypt a text file to that public key without having PGP ask for confirmation of anything, you need to hook PHP up to it. You need the environment variable PGPPATH set, so: <? putenv("PGPPATH=".where_you_installed_the_web_server_users'_pgp); ?> Then you can write out the original mail with all the naughty info in it to a file, run PGP over it to produce an encrypted version, delete the original and mail the encrypted version.

I have a function on an include page that says function update_stuff($database) { include("includes/connect.inc.php"); include("config/db.conf.php"); $query="SELECT * FROM $database"; $query_res=mysql_query($query, $mysql_link); $isequip=mysql_num_rows($query_res); } If I call it from a script as update_stuff(equipment); I don't get any result (I want to page to automagically update it's contents) while if I include the query lines after each edit case it does update the page contents. I'm missing something basic, but what? Martin S.

Looks like you have a scope issue : $a = 'foo'; function bar() { $a = 'bar'; } bar(); print $a; // prints foo outside of the function, $a has not been affected. want it to be? then try something like : $a = 'foo'; function bar() { global $a; $a = 'bar'; } bar(); print $a; // prints bar see how that works? now if you're just wanting to get a row count then try something like : function getRowCount($table) { $r = mysql_query("SELECT count(*) FROM $table"); return mysql_result($r,0); } print getRowCount('tablename'); it's much faster to rely on sql count function as opposed to selecting all data and using x_num_rows. regarding functions and scope, see : http://www.php.net/manual/en/functions.php http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.scope.php regards, philip On Tue, 24 Apr 2001, Martin [ISO-8859-4] Skjöldebrand wrote: > I have a function on an include page that says > > function update_stuff($database) > { > include("includes/connect.inc.php"); > include("config/db.conf.php"); > $query="SELECT * FROM $database"; > $query_res=mysql_query($query, $mysql_link); > $isequip=mysql_num_rows($query_res); > } > > If I call it from a script as > update_stuff(equipment); > > I don't get any result (I want to page to automagically update it's > contents) while if I include the query lines after each edit case > it does update the page contents. > > I'm missing something basic, but what? > > Martin S. > > -- > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >

Whether you turn register_globals off or not, you need to always watch cases like this. I have seen many people say that register_globals is inherently insecure and then they turn it off and go through and use something like $HTTP_POST_VARS['sql'] everywhere they used to use $sql. This only makes it slightly more tedious to inject bogus variables into since the attacker now needs to make a trivial little form to inject stuff into the POST data instead of just sticking it onto the URL. Security-wise there is no difference whatsoever. Never never never trust user-supplied data implicitly. Always check anything that could possibly come from the user. For internal variables, always initialize them and just generally think things through as you write your scripts. This is no different in PHP than in any other scripting language used for web work. -Rasmus

Actually, any advices, tips and tricks on how to code securely and how to make sure user-supplied data are never implicitly trusted would be more than welcomed. thanks

Then you'd do something like this instead: while (list($key,$val) = each($HTTP_POST_VARS)) { if ($val == '') { $url .= "&".$key."="; $error = 1; } else { $url .= "&".$key."=".urlencode(stripslashes($val)).""; } } If you're using GET rather than post, just subtitute $HTTP_GET_VARS. -d -- If a man is standing in the middle of the forest speaking and there is no woman around to hear him... is he still wrong? -George Carlin

Hi, I am working on a newsletter module. What I want to know is that how can we send a newsletter via email to all the subscribers in html format with images in the htm too??? Well I am able to send an html file as attachment using the php mail() function. But I still can't see the images in the htm file. What I think is the mail function just sends the file as text only and it will not pick up the images in the html file. So is there a way that I can send the html format with images via email.

Hello everyone, Quick question: I would like to install a standalone web server can run PHP, I'm looking for guidance on how to do this. Basically, I want to add a PHP application on a CD-ROM, for demonstration purposes. I know PHP can be runed as a standalone, but what about the server? Can apache do something like this? Will a person have install apache when they run the disk? Do you know of a server that can do this? I'm currently looking at the SimpleServer, by AnalogX-www.analogX.com, but that only allow CGI and is not too configurable. I would appreciate any information that you can share. Thanks. __________John Monfort_________________ _+-----------------------------------+_ P E P I E D E S I G N S www.pepiedesigns.com "The world is waiting, are you ready?" -+___________________________________+-

hello... just asking...what is better in this case: i got lots of scripts and almost all of them needs to connect to the DB and some of thems are accessed lots of times what is better to use in such cases: mysql_connect() or mysql_pconnect()... i mean will speed factor play a role when lots and lots of user tries to connect to the DB? -elias http://eassoft.cjb.net
[PHP] what is better? mysql_connect() or mysql_pconnect()? mysql_pconnect() is better for a web application because is lighter for the server, (the connection is not permanent)

I don't understand why you want to connect IPCHAINS to your PHP script. Normally your IPCHAINS (or IPTABLES) firewall would be running anyway, wouldn't it? Maybe I've missed something, but I don't see how the two are linked. I'd have the PHP script check username and password, and if valid, go ahead and do whatever the script determines. I'd also have IPCHAINS running the whole time and configured to let any authorised user out/in. But there would be no direct link between the two.

My problem is that not displaying anything in case of an error is a completely unacceptable solution. I *MUST* return a valid XML message in a predefined format.
