How do you do that exactly - sorry for the stupid question - but the perms
for [�absolute_path�]/ is already rwxrw-rw-.
Let me know if you are referring to a different way to set permissions...
Thanks for your help!

1) What is the real name of your destination directory? I have been assuming
that "[�absolute_path�]" is a substitution for the real path. If
"[�absolute_path�]" is indeed your path then I suggest that you rename it to
use just alphanumerals.
2) The webserver must have 'x' permission for every parent directory of the
destination directory and must have 'wx' for the destination directory
itself.
To test and to convince yourself that move_uploaded_file() is working (or
otherwise) use /tmp as the destination directory.

Hmm, I don't think I can. The data is stored in MySQL by a separate program,
but that data can be used in more pages.
I think the only good solution would be to run a program that create a cache
for every page from that site.
This would not be very simple because the site could have more template
styles available for the users, and all the page could appear in more
languages, and some pages could be accessed from a form with many options,
etc.
It would not be very practicly to create such many cached pages.
I begin to think that it is not really possible to do what I want and I
guess that if the PHP program is well done, the speed difference would not
be too big.

that's usually the case some developers spend a lot of time chaning
double quoates to single quotes all it get's them is a saving of 2
milliseconds per script. However delivering static html instead of
dynamic generated html will be faster under very high loads. So you may
want to keep at it if you have a large site.
In a related thread i have posted about the use of squid i think you may
want to look at it.
An approach that may work in your case is to host the scripts on a
private ip and use wget to 'download' the entire site on to the htdoc
folder of your public site. wget could be invoked by the same program
that inserts the data into the db.
finally media wiki (the software that powers wikipedia.org ) has a good
caching mechanism which you might want to look at.

Hi Sean,
generally apply htmlentities() to all data to output. Use double quotes for
your HTML attributes so single quotes in your strings won't be a problem.

It doesn't matter where the fraud comes from, its worth following up because
my guess is you could be dealing with a small part of some organised credit
card fraud group. My best suggestion is to give the FBI a quick call or look
at their web site. Although the orders may be foreign (what location comes
back when you put the IP address into http://www.geobytes.com/IpLocator.htm),
as far as I know, this is something the FBI can handle, and if they don't, I
would expect they know who does.
Hope this helps.

If I understand you correctly, you want to be able to send mails (containing
certain instructions) to a server and have the instructions carried out?
This is certainly possible, most MTAs allow you to have addresses which
executes programs whenever mail is delivered to them. Refer to your MTA
documentation to see how such addresses can be setup then configure it
execute your php script. The contents of the mail are usually made available
on STDIN so your php script would have to read from STDIN and parse out the
instructions. Then depending on what your instructions are you can use exec()
and friends to execute them.

Hi all,
Still no luck with sessions. I have installed an older version: 4.3.1
and have register_globals=Off
I have 2 test pages a1.php and a2.php
All I want to do is register a session variable, set a value for it and
then in a2.php check that it is still registered and view the session's
value.
a1.php:
<?
session_start();
header("Cache-control: private"); // IE 6 Fix.
if(isset($_POST['Submit']))
{
$_SESSION["login"]="inside";
session_write_close();
header("Location: a2.php");
exit();
}
?>
I can successfully register the session variable and set the value of
it on page a1.php but when I go to page a2.php the session variable is
not set and the value isnt set either.
a2.php:
<?
session_start();
header("Cache-control: private"); // IE 6 Fix.
if(!isset($_SESSION["login"]))
echo("<br>session variable NOT set");
else
echo("<br>session variable set");
echo("<br>session ID: " . session_id());
echo("<br>session value: " . $_SESSION["login"]);
?>
I have been trying to get this to work for ages with no luck. I have
been reading the manual and have googled and cant seem to find the
problem. if anyone can help that would be great.
thanks in advance
Angelo

Are you positive that $_SESSION["login"] is set? Is your browser accepting
cookies (at the least temporary or session cookies?).

OK, do you have access to the directory (assuming you're using files) that
stores the session files? If so, check the session file written in a1.php to
see whether $_SESSION["login"] was set correctly, then check session_id() in
a2.php matches that the name of said session file.

Why are you testing if $_POST['submit'] is set are you posting something to
the page??
In the two scripts you posted the code block wont be executed because there
is no post variable
being set.
Try this:
a1.php
==================================================
<?php
session_start();
header("Cache-control: private"); // IE 6 Fix.
$_SESSION["login"]="inside";
session_write_close();
header("Location: a2.php");
exit();
?>
<pre>
<?php print_r($_SESSION); ?>
</pre>
==================================================
AND
a2.php
==================================================
<?php
session_start();
header("Cache-control: private"); // IE 6 Fix.
if(!isset($_SESSION["login"])){
echo("<br>session variable NOT set");
}else{
echo("<br>session variable set");
}
echo("<br>session ID: " . session_id());
echo("<br>session value: " . $_SESSION["login"]);

Works fine now.

I see two problems immediately. First, you're doing more than testing
sessions here. You need to trim down your test code to do only that and
nothing else. Right now, the important bit is within a conditional
statement, and that's needless complexity. You want to be 100% sure that
you're testing what you mean to be testing.
The second problem is that you send an improper Location header, and this
may very well be what is causing your problem. This header requires an
absolute URL, and some browsers will not include cookies in the request
for the new URL when you use a relative one, even if it seems to "work"
otherwise.
Hope that helps.

Hi all. I'm probably biting off a little more than I can chew here but here
goes...
I've been asked to move some resources I have developed from our hosting
company's server and host them locally. I know I am going to need a licence
for MySQL as we are developing commercial applications and not prepared to
release the source code but will we need a licence for PHP...?
Also... What flavour of Linux do these sit best on...? Mandrake has been
recommended but I am open to suggestions...

Thanks to all that responded, I have finally found the problem:
When I installed PHP again, I kept on modifying the PHP.ini in the
WINNT directory (as specified in the manual) but the PHP.ini that was
being looked up was the 1 in the c:\php directory so I kept on trying
all new things and nothing worked.
Thanks again. Please remeber so that you dont make the same mistake as
me

Hi everyone;
I�m having a trouble with mktime. It is not generating negative values since the
OS was updated to "Linux version 2.6.7 (gcc version 3.2.3)".
I belive php uses mktime from glibc, and when this library was changed, mktime
with this new "stupid feature" stoped generate values that represent dates lower than
Dec-31-1969.
All my systems that store dates are using mktime, so the birthday fields are not
working under 1969.
I�m using PHP 4.3.8, and always upgrading !
How can i fix that?
Example:
<?
echo date ("M-d-Y", mktime (0,0,0,12,32,1997));
echo "<br>";
echo date ("M-d-Y", mktime (0,0,0,1,1,1968));
?>
The result is:
Jan-01-1998
Dec-31-1969
Thnx in advance, and sorry my poor english!

Hi all,
I want to do something like this:
http://www.cgnetworks.com/story_custom.php?story_id=2259
Where we can publish an article, multiple page even and lay it out in a
nice design with images etc. How do you think this is done? These
stories are dynamically generated it seems since the page is passed in
the URL. I am just not sure where to start...
Thanks,

Uh...HTML? It is a website, correct?

PHP has nothing to do with the layout. The story is probably stored in a
database and the story_id var is passed through $_GET to pull up the
cooresponding story.
Learn HTML and CSS and you can make a website look however you want it to
look. PHP simply makes the pages change depending on user events.

http://www.cgnetworks.com/story_custom.php?story_id=2259
Where we can publish an article, multiple page even and lay it out in
a nice design with images etc. How do you think this is done? These
stories are dynamically generated it seems since the page is passed in
the URL. I am just not sure where to start...
Thanks,
Rogue
