hi...
i'm looking for a good/solid login/registration script that's in the open
source domain.
it can have it's own db/table structure. i can always rearchitect...
i'd like it to have an admin function, and the ability to verify users via
email, etc...
anybody have a favorite/good app that they've used/implemented.
i've look through lots of scripts, and decided to check here for additional
input.
thanks

It would be helpful to list what you have looked at along with some notes of
what you perceive to be their pros and cons.

The method in which you described your issue is rather confusing. Can
you provide some example code and perhaps explain it a bit clearer?

Anyway, instead of writing this:
SELECT pics.*, pic_comments.*, count(*) AS num_comments FROM pics,
pic_comments WHERE pics.category = 1 AND pics.id = pic_comments.pic_id
GROUP BY pic_comments.pic_id;
Write this:
SELECT pics.*, pic_comments.*, count(*) AS num_comments FROM pics
LEFT JOIN pic_comments ON (pic_comments.pic_id = pics.id)
WHERE pics.category = 1
GROUP BY pics.pic_id;
Lenar
Though, (regardless of SQL database platform) in a case like this, it
MAY be both more straightforward and efficient to use two separate
queries for the pictures and comments, given the one-to-many cardinality
between them. The above statement causes redundant data to be returned
- it duplicates the pics record for each new comment. If there are many
large columns in the pics table and many comments to each record there's
a lot of redundant data in a query like that.
Depending on the nature of your data, this may or may not outweigh the
added cost of one more query to the database. The choice will obviously
affect the way you have to write your PHP code (hey, now I'm on-topic).
Splitting it up, it could look like this:
SELECT *
FROM pics;
SELECT *, count(*) AS num_comments
FROM pic_comments
GROUP BY pic_id
You may want to add an ORDER BY clause to both of these. People often
say it's 'good form' to enumerate your fields in the SELECT clause but
benefits of that may vary between database platforms.

You could make a few randomly named images (more = better security but wont

Hi,
I am just starting out with regex (and classes) so am
not sure how to do this...
I am seeing if a HTML file exists, if yes, I am using
file_get_contents to get the entire HTML file into a
string.
In the HTML file I already have this:
<!-- Start header -->
<html>
<body>
whatever you want comes here
<!-- End header -->
How do I use a regex to span these multiple lines and
simply cut everything (including the start..end
part)from <!-- Start header --> to <!-- End header -->
Second question:
I am using file_get_contents, is it better to use this
than file() or fread() ?
Thanks,
Mag

Hi,
I can't answer your regexp question but some thoughts on file() etc.:
- file() returns the contents line by line as an array, so this makes only
sense if you need the contents in this form, e.g. for looping through each
line and applying a function or whatever
- fread() requires a file handle that you have to create with fopen(), so
file_get_contents() is kind of a shortcut for fopen()/fread()
Hope this helps.

Hey,
Thanks for replying and the answer to my second Q,
sounds like file_get_contents() is good for me now.
I think i found a solution for the regex too, just
have to modify some parts.
Cheers,
Mag

Hi,
I am using flush() and ob_flush() in one of my scripts
and its working great.., just one problem, as it keeps
outputting xxxxx on the screen the page just stays on
top...is there anyway (I am not sure via php...but
maybe JavaScript? ) to make the browser "follow" the
output below
eg:
keep the scroll below right next to the text.
This is what i am using:
for($i=0; $i<1000;$i++)
{
echo "something<br>";
echo str_repeat(" ", 256); flush(); ob_flush();
sleep(1);
}
Thanks,
Mag

Not with PHP. Use Javascript's scroll properties/methods/whatevers... :)

Hi,
I have re-written a very basic website to use sessions (switching to https)
for login to special areas of a site. After testing the site thoroughly
locally, I uploaded the whole shebang to a unix server that runs Apache 1.3.x
+ PHP 4.3.4 + mysql.
Almost all code broke - sessions would load, but almost every page was so
messed up that -- well, I'm flabbergasted!
I'm wondering, after reading a few threads on my local config whether the
problem might lie with the Apache2 server I use locally (Mandrake special
with Extranet). I also use an older version of PHP 4.3.1.
I've examined both configs for differences, but can see nothing that would
account for such an extremely messed up site. It loads locally beautifully
(and all admin pages work) in Opera, Galeon, Mozilla, + Konqueror. Loads with
errors to mysql db in all others but Konqueror which does not even display
the opening page (yet I can view source).
Maybe this isn't the forum to ask -- but seeing that all db access is through
PHP -- I wonder whether anyone can point where i can start looking for the
culprit(s).
Any ideas, suggestions, or advice will be greatly appreciated.
Tia,
Andre

It's very doubtful that it's from Apache 2.
Somethings that you might want to consider.
Do you have all the libraries that you are using on your local
development machine on the production machine? Are your includes paths
pointed to the proper directories? Did you use <? instead of <?php (tsk
tsk) ?
Good luck. :-)

Josh,
Aside from the differences in php versions, the only difference is thta the
local version has register_globals=off.
I'm really stumped.

That's what I thought. But the differences are glaring. Seems like none of the
code wants to work. Navigation is a nightmare: header("location:...");
usually brings an error message: function so and so -- include("xxx.php");
has already been declared -- cannot redeclare (yet locally - absolutely no
problem!) ??
Oh, what a nightmare. I can handle parsing errors, and general messups -- but
when the whole site works without a glitch locally . . . .
Also, mysql complains bitterly about a non-existent user (it's already an open
and persistent connection, has given data previously -- go figure) -- it's
unbelievable! And I have an existing site, developed using almost the same
code + 340++ files working seamlessly.
The libraries appear to be the same, however, I did notice a reference to
/usr/lib/pear. include paths point correctly, and I faithfully use <?php ....
?>.
Sigh -- what a mess!

It could be that you have local error reporting set to none. It could also
be that you're using full paths when referencing files which then breaks
when moving files to a new server. Basically, there's a lot of
possibilities and I'm not going to have much luck helping unless you include
error messages. My guess is that resolving a few errors will address a core
problem and everything will start working.

Yes, it's very possible that he isn't getting errors locally because his
errors aren't on.
Andre,
You might check your error settings on your local server. You might even
consider upgrading php on your local server to the same version and
debugging.

Robby,
I just enabled log_errors locally. No errors (as I thought).
Since I am hacking a previously written site, the problem seems to arise most
when accessing his pre-built functions across pages. For instance, he uses a
'cards.php' to store all display functions -- showleft() -- showcentre() , as
well as the connect() function. Since its a persistent connection -- he opens
the db once, then performs various queries in it. However, since 'cards.php'
has already been called once by a page that might require both showleft() and
showcentre() -- it barfs and says that it cannot 'redeclare' the showleft()
function that has already been declared?? That is really some weird --
particularly when it works so well (as expected) locally - and also since I'm
not 'redeclaring' but calling it for use!
I cannot fathom why the production site would give this error. Perhaps I need
to do absolute paths for all headers? But it doesn't make sense that a
function cannot be called many times -- declaring it once, yes, but calling
its use?? If that were the case, then one might as well write it out longhand
for each use, and forget the concept of 'functions'.
I think I should look at the error logs for the site -- maybe they will clue
me in where I should look.
Thanks,
Andre

That might be something, with reg globals ON, on your server, and say you
try to get $_GET['id'] and $SESSION['id'] will be the same, they might be
overwriting themselves.
Try setting register globals to OFF on your server, its also more secure.

Try adding
if (!function_exists("function_name")) {
function function_name ($blah) {
// Function Code
}
}
for each function.
That will fix the redeclare problem which happens if you call your cards.php
file in more than 1 file..

To all those who have auto-replys set for their email, please turn them
off. ;-)
We shouldn't have to opt-in to 3 different peoples spam email sites so
that we can post to the list. heh.

Hi All,
I finally found the problem: It was the mod_bandwidth module in
Apache. I was tipped off to this from bug report:
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=16595
I disabled the module (commented the LoadModule and AddModule lines in
httpd.conf) and $_POST is populated as expected now.
The faq for mod_bandwidth at:
http://www.cohprog.com/v3/bandwidth/faq-en.html
indicates that if configured incorrectly, CGI may stop working.
FYI: Regarding my other questions:
The code below shows an example of reading data from stdin. If POST
data is read properly by php, there will be nothing on stdin.
However, if you set post_max_size to a (very) small value, there will
be something on stdin and the code below will read and display it.
You will also get a warning that CONTENT_LENGTH is greater than
post_max_size. The code compares the values of CONTENT_LENGTH and
post_max_size and warns if post_max_size is smaller.
Hope this helps all of you out there who are having similar problems.
