I think there is a file size argument both in the html form tag and within
php.ini (max_file_size...? or something like that). I would try to make
both very large, just as a test.
Anyway, I had a similar problem that was fixed by playing around with
these settings.

[PHP] Web Browser Timeout on Upload Script
Hi,
I am running a simple Upload script in PHP using a HTML Form with a File
field. The user can browse their computer and upload a file. It works
great, except for large files, where the browser will timeout. The
timeout appears to happen after about 5 minutes. Any ideas on how to get
around this?
Ideal solution would be on the server side b/c I don't want to have my
users set a browser option.
Thanks a lot!

Well for another data point when I uploaded a file using our upload form
the ' gets escaped on both IE6 (win98 running in win4lin) and galeon.
test's qoutes.jpg becomes test\'s quotes.jpg on a fedora server with
apache and php of course.
I don't suppose the file gets put into a directory named with the first
portion of the file?
FWIW here is what my form tag looks like
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="uploadFiles.php"
method="POST">
and the filechooser
<input name="userfile" type="file" >

Hi Brett
My form is effectively identical to yours
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="/uploadfiles.php" method="post">
<b>Upload a file:</b> <input name="userfile" type="file" size="100">
No the first part of the file name is just dropped and the file with the
truncated name is saved in the correct place.
But with it escaping the quote do you mean that you end up with a file with
\ in it? That would be an illegal filename.

some answers:
turning magic quotes on and off seemed to make no difference
1. single quotes aren't important to me but this application allows users to
upload photos which often use descriptive filenames which sometimes have
single quotes eg. "my mum's car.jpg". I replace the spaces with underscores
but I can't get to the filename before the single quote and the text before
it have been stripped.
2. the original filename is only important insofar as it often has
descriptive information in it.
3. I can't really answer this question very well except to say that it
happens in my development environment (IE6 on win2k with apache on win2k) as
well as on my hosting server (IE6 on win2k and apache on linux).
you're a webdeveloper. please install firefox :-)

Hi
When uploading files using a type=file in a form, if a file is uploaded
with
a single quote the file gets truncated to whatever is after the quote
eg.
blah'sblah.txt
will be uploaded as
sblah.txt
Is this a magic quotes issue?
I don't think so, test it by turning it on/off.
What is the best way to deal with it?
couple of questions:
1. are single quotes really necessary in filenames?
2. is the original filename really that important to you?
3. does this happen on just one browser/[client]platform? it could be
a browser bug (i.e. it gets stripped on the clientside which would means
thats
its nothing to do with a PHP bug/setting/feature/misunderstanding/etc)

Yep that is exactly what I mean. Not sure if \it is illegal on a linux
box although unusual The directory separator is /. I am going to be
looking at the code soon to try and get a handle on it. At this point I
do not know where it is coming from but I should be able to examine the
variables that get sent to the server and see where in the
browser/php/OS interaction the thing is occurring.
I'll let you know. I like allowing users to name files as they will and
test all my scripts that handle file names to make sure the handle
spaces well but should probably check for a few boneheaded things like
that. A little javascript goes a long way in these sort of situations
:)

You don't want to do that will javascript. I, for one, surf with
javascript turned off. The malicious script kiddie, I would presume,
also would be very happy to send you a silly filename without letting
javascript check it.

I am creating a database where I need people to log in using a unique
username and password. I would like to hash the passwords using the one-way
function mhash(). However, when I try to do this, I have some issues that I
cannot figure out. Here is what I have (I'll include every mention of the
variable in case I am missing something obvious):
The file that displays the sign-up form: The user enters a username and
password into the form, the password is hashed and the hashed value is
stored in the database.
<input type='password' name='password' max length='50'>
$pass=bin2hex(mhash(MHASH_SHA1, $password));
<input type='hidden' name='pass' value='$pass'>
The input is sent to a file that verifies the data and stores it to the
database
$pass=$_POST['pass'];
INSERT INTO table (username, password) VALUES ('$logname', '$pass');
Here's my big problem... I created three seperate sample users with three
different passwords (password1, password2, password3). When I go back to
look at the table info in the database, it shows that all three of the
passwords are exactly the same. I'm not sure why this is happening.

I strongly suspect you're hashing an empty string.
echo "password [$password]";
$pass=bin2hex(mhash(MHASH_SHA1, $password));

Hi there,
How can I convert a Word file (*.doc) to PDF file? Are there any libraries

Can you give me some hint how can I do that?
Thanks.

Hello,
I have a string:
$str = '<p>This is a paragraph<p><?php echo \'hello\';

Which I convert using:
html_entity_decode(stripslashes($str));
Which result in:
<p>This is a paragraph</p><?php echo 'hello'; ?>
But.. I was the PHP tags to STAY ENCODED like:
<p>This is a paragraph</p><?php echo 'hello'; ?>
How do I do this..?

I am using fopen with a url to open a remote file (read only of course).
The url I am providing results in a redirect and the fopen seems to be smart
enough to follow the redirect to return the actual file contents. How can I
get at the redirected filename?
The problem is the file contains html and relative references in href's
buried in the html are relative to the redirected location and not my
original location, and I would like to subsequently open some of those files
(like a crawler does).
thanks in advance,
Warren Vail

Hello everybody!
I was wondering if you could help me with a little problem I ran into
some days ago.
In my database I have some information about file paths. Originally,
those paths come from a Windows Excel spreadsheet and look like "..\1
PDF Filer\65051.PDF". In my PHP code I try to do two things:
1) replace ".." with a string like "file://server/folder"
2) replace all "\" characters with "/".
The PHP code looks something like:
$path_to_file = "..\1 PDF Filer\65051.PDF";
$things_to_look_for = array("..", "\");
$things_to_replace_with = array("file://server/folder", "/");
$link = str_replace($things_to_look_for, $things_to_replace_with,
$path_to_file);
The big problem is the character "\" which, if I got it right, in
UNICODE is used for things like expressing line breaks ('\n' or
something like this). The code above is resulting in the following
error massage: "Parse error: parse error, expecting `')'' in
/xxx/xxx/xxx/TMPz06yoces6o.php on line 2."
Is there a simple solution for this problem?

Frank

Don't use double-quoted strings unless you *need* to. Ditto for the rest
of your code.

"\n" is a newline character, however it has nothing to do with unicode,
RTFM for details.

Switch to using a decent syntax highlighting editor and these types of
errors will be immediately obvious.

You are escaping the last quote, meaning that the rest of your code is
"quoted". What you need to do is to escape the escape character.
$path_to_file = addslashes("..\1 PDF Filer\65051.PDF");
$things_to_look_for = array("..", "\\");
You should use addslashes() or similar on you're path name, as some
escaped characters have certain meanings. \n for example means a new line
character, while \\n on the other hand means \ followed by n.

I would not rely on IP addresses being secret. There are ways to find
out IP addresses that belong to an organization, and try the whole
range. For example just by receiving an email. And second, most attacks
come from insiders, they have the info and far greater possibilities.

Hi all,
I have no doubt posted many queries here in the past few days, and am
thankful for all the help I have received. :)
I have been able to write a helloworld extension and compile it. The
next step is to call a function in a library libfoo.so. I think
this needs a modification in config.m4.
Any ideas how to go about it? I have already tried editing LIBNAME
and LIBSYMBOL. It says:
checking for foo in -lfoo... no
configure: error: wrong foo lib version or lib not found
The file is present as ext/myext/lib/libfoo.so.
Thanks again,
Deepak

Hello people,
Recently, one of my webservers became rather slow. At first we thought it
was the MySQL backend, but when logged in on MySQL using the command line
tool over SSH, it runs as smooth as ever.
Static content (normal html pages) also load without delay. It seems that
the bottleneck is PHP itself.
For the sake of comparison, I created 2 test pages:
http://www.debuginc.com/test.html
http://www.debuginc.com/test.php
Everyone I asked says that the PHP page takes over 5 seconds to load while
the HTML one instantly displays. The only code in the PHP page is <? echo
'hello world'; ?>. No MySQL stuff, so that eliminates the initial idea of
MySQL causing the slowness.
Nevertheless, it IS slow and I have no idea why or where to start looking.
The phpinfo() can be found on www.debuginc.com/info.php. Any help or hints
are highly appreciated.
Another interesting note; this problem started a couple of days ago without
any changes in the config or anything. At first I upped the amount of
connections Apache would accept, but it soon turned out that was not the
problem.
Thanks,
- Gerard

How can I ensure that a user is prevented from creating a second profile
after he has registered a second time with different registration details?
I thought of capturing his IP Address and checking this value against my
users table in my database where I have captured IP Addresses of users who
have previously registered.

Hi,
It is not quite clear what you want to do. You can translate UTF-8 characters
into html characters like this:
$str = htmlentities($str,ENT_NOQUOTES,'UTF-8');
Or you can translate them in a costumizesd way with strtr()
For instance:
$translation = array(
"ÃÂ" => "Ã", "ÃÂ" => "Ã", "ÃÂ" => "Ã", "ÃÂ" => "Ã", "ÃÂ" =>
"Ã",
"ÃÂ" => "Ã", 'ÃÂ' => "Ã", "ÃÂ" => "Ã", "ÃÂ" => "Ã", "ÃÂ" =>
"Ã",
"ÃÂ" => "Ã", "Ãâ" => "Ã", "ÃË" => "Ã", "ÃÂ" => "Ã", "ÃÂ"
=> "ç",
"Ãâ" => "Ã", "ÃÂ" => "Ã", "ÃÂ" => "Ã", "ÃÂ" => "Ã", "ÃÂ"
=> "ð",
"ÃÂ" => "ú", "ÃÂ" => "á", "ÃÂ" => "â"
);
$str = strtr($str, $translation);
Both methods are simpler and a lot faster than regexps.
