Hmm, didn't think about it until you said database, but storing an RSS
feed in mysql woudl probably be easier than parsing an xml file.. :)
Thanks
And downloaded wikimedia from wikimedia.com :p Not much help there from
what I can get, but I'll try some more. :)
Thanks again.

Always CC the mailing list.
Where did you download wikimedia from?
Also, I'm working on a simple program for editing/making/deleting items
in an RSS Feed(2.0). Are there programs that already do this for me to
study/learn off of. I've seen a few that make an entire RSS feed, but
not one for maintaining one.
Depends where your content is coming from.
If it's coming from a database, simply don't include the fields you
don't want to appear in the feed.

While it's remotely possible somebody here uses WikiMedia and knows
the answer it's not really a "General PHP" type of question...
Your best options are:
Ask the WikiMedia folks.
Install LiveHTTPHeaders in Firefox and see what Cookies you get.
Configure your browser to prompt you for all Cookies and see what
Cookies you get.

Because Microsoft engineers are incapable of reading and following a
spec correctly, you will have to supply a "path" along with that
time-out. The best default path to use is "/"
You can have no time-out and no path, or both, but not just time-out.

For REAL browsers, you should send the content-type with a charset in
the headers as well.
Only something goofy like IE is going to ignore the headers and look
at a META tag instead.
Again, MS doesn't follow specs. Surprise.
To be super-pedantic, it's also probably better to use:
<meta ... />
so the tag closes itself in the new-school XHTML CSS blah blah blah
buzzword way.

Errr.
localhost is going to end up being THEIR localhost, which is, like,
their own computer where the browser is, which is very very very
unlikely to have your moviesite.php script on it, if you see what I
mean...
Unless YOU are running this on your own desktop or something.
And even then, you probably should use $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] or
something instead of localhost, because if you move this script to a
freshly-installed Windows box, they don't actually set up localhost as
127.0.0.1 in some versions of Windows -- You have to dig around in
god-knows-which-directory to find the hosts.sam file (.sam is for
sample) and then copy it and edit it and then re-boot (cuz it's
Windows) to get localhost defined.
Did I mention that MS engineers don't follow specs?

Well, you WANT it to point to that page, but it probably doesn't, as
noted above...

You kinda need the function call here with () and everything.
Otherwise, what happens is:
#1. PHP "sees" an undefined constant, and assumes you meant:
'session_start';
#2. PHP issues an E_NOTICE error, but your default error_reporting in
php.ini is probably set to E_ALL ~ E_NOTICE which is *BAD* but there
it is, the old default.
#3. So this statement turns into a rather goofy non-operational
statement that does NOTHING but is, in fact, accepted as a valid PHP
staement, for reasons beyond my ken:
'session_start';
is valid syntax.
God only knows *WHY* it's valid, mind, but it's valid.

You really SHOULD clean that variable.

Also, you should realize that your setcookie isn't really doing much
but send an extra cookie to the browser, which will ANNOY those of us
who monitor cookies before accepting them -- It's just as easy to
store $_SESSION['username'] and use that instead, relying on the PHP
Cookie for the session to work for you, instead of managing your own
Cookie on top of the PHP session cookie.
For homework, you have to change your php.ini file from E_ALL ~
E_NOTICE to just plain E_ALL :-)
You'll be better off in the long run, even if it seems picuyane in the
short run.

I almost never use a server name for this reason. If you simply use an
absolute path, it'll point to whatever machine (local dev, live server,
etc...) it happens to be running on without you having to care.
i.e. <a href='/moviesite.php?favMovie=$favMovie'>

Which of course breaks if you decide to put the whole-shebang in a
subdirectory (unless you specify the base in your html head).
Personally, I prefer to deduce the path from the autoglobals (such
as $SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] and friends), or to have it set in a
central place (config.inc or whatever you use), so that i can move
the whole app into a subdirectory if i want to.

For an ecommerce site where sensitive data is stored
either in files, or in a database, have you used some
form of encryption to protect your customer's data?
I have a client who currently uses a Perl scripted
shopping cart that stores orders (including credit
card numbers) in plain text files on a shared server.
The security of these files depends purely on the
user/file system security measures enforced by the
hosting company (which I think is a reasonably good
company, but still I don't see it as being
sufficiently secure).
I am going to rewrite the shopping cart using PHP and
was looking into ways to protect the data. Using GNU
Privacy Guard (gpg) seemed like the ideal method
because I could store the client's public key on the
server to encrypt orders and the customer could then
download the encrypted files and decrypt them on his
PC with his private key (the client manually submits
orders through his "store front" merchant account). I
know this is a somewhat archaic procedure but it works
sufficiently well for this client.
However the hosting company won't support gpg so that
leaves me with PHP mcrypt functions which I think
would work very well, except for on thing - how to
protect the secret key which now has to be on the
server?
Any ideas/suggestions/experience along that line?
Thanks in advance,
Lawrence Kennon

Lawrence, from the very start, if you're on a shared-server, security is
going to be compromised to a large degree. Hopefully your server at least
uses suexec or suphp to prevent other people's scripts reading your data.
If not, i'd say look for a new host immediately.
As for your private key. Step 1 is to definitely keep it outside your
doc_root, Step 2 is to give it really restrictive permissions like 400 or
600. I'm not entirely sure how much you can really do above that on a
shared server.
If you can convince your clients that security is a top-priority on this
project, talk about getting a dedicated box so that your first-level of
defense is simply "nobody else is on the box", then you can worry a little
bit less about your private key being stolen.

I assume you want to be able to unencrypt the credit card number for later
use, so a 1 way encryption method will not suffice. In that case, I don't
know of a way to securly store this data in the environment you describe.
If someone gained access to you data, they would also likely have access to
your code and could therefore figure out how to unencrypt it.
That said, my first piece of advice: Never, ever store credit card numbers.
You are opening yourself up to a huge world of hurt by doing so. Unless
you can come up with a reason (you probably can't) that you absolutely MUST
store credit card numbers on a shared server, don't do it.

You are willing to risk bazillion dollar lawsuits on the "sufficiently
secure" file permissions of a "reasonably good" company? I would suggest,
at minimum, getting a dedicated box with a well-known hosting company if you
are going to store credit card numbers. At least then, you can enforce you
own security policies, and be reasonably sure you are the only one digging
around on the box.

If you are going to rewrite the shopping cart application, why not look into
some ready-made ones. http://www.oscommerce.com , a complete, free online
store, comes to mind immediately. There are many others. Search the
archives of this list if you're interested. Why reinvent the wheel? :)

On a shared server, you can't really protect it, but you can take some steps
to make it as difficult to get as possible. Storing it outside of webroot
and giving it restrictive permissions would be good first steps.
You don't really go into much detail about your application. But, if you
search the archives of this list for 'credit card', you will find some
really compelling reasons NOT to ever store credit card numbers. If the
reason you are doing so is purely for customer convienience, you should
probably reevaluate that position.

Can they play nicely together?
For instance I have a small JavaScript sniplet that will check certain
checkboxes if a radio button is selected. Since I have a fair amount of
checkboxes I want to put them in an array all their own so I use the
XHTML syntax w/brackets;
<input type="checkbox" name="list37[]" value="7" />
Suddenly JavaScript doesn't care for the object and throws an error
(take the brackets out and it works fine for JS, but PHP cannot see all
of the values). I have Googled for this but think that my search term(s)
are failing me because the condition is hard to describe. Would someone
please point me in the right direction?
Thanks!

I ran into this problem once too and had a terrible time finding an
answer. I started finding some stuff with the following search terms:
php checkbox array javascript entity reference
Which brought up a page in the manual. It had two helpful notes:

Where is this being called from? Checkboxes don't have a "length"...
if u declare is like name="list37" doesnt PHP get that as an array
even though it doesnt have the square brackets?
No, you need the square brackets to return an array of values.
Otherwise you'll only get the first one.

BINGO! We have a winner!
It can be as simple as adding an id to each checkbox;
<input type="checkbox" id="list37" name="list37[]" value="4" />
By doing this I did not have to change the function or the function
calls. JS recognizes the boxes by id, PHP recognizes the array.
There were some other more complex solutions listed.....but I believe in
KISS....

Could you not use an id for the object as well as a name?

For instance I have a small JavaScript sniplet that will check certain
checkboxes if a radio button is selected. Since I have a fair amount of
checkboxes I want to put them in an array all their own so I use the
XHTML syntax w/brackets;
<input type="checkbox" name="list37[]" value="7" />
Suddenly JavaScript doesn't care for the object and throws an error
(take the brackets out and it works fine for JS, but PHP cannot see all
of the values). I have Googled for this but think that my search term(s)
are failing me because the condition is hard to describe. Would someone
please point me in the right direction?
Thanks!
What kind of error does it throw? What function are you using to
access the object?
--Daniel
if u declare is like name="list37" doesnt PHP get that as an array even
though it doesnt have the square brackets?
Nope. Test it.

Shouldn't ID's on xhtml tags be unique? Or is this special because
of the array construction?

I think it's a case of using id for javascript, not for css...

BINGO! We have a winner!
It can be as simple as adding an id to each checkbox;
<input type="checkbox" id="list37" name="list37[]" value="4" />
By doing this I did not have to change the function or the function
calls. JS recognizes the boxes by id, PHP recognizes the array.
There were some other more complex solutions listed.....but I believe in
KISS....
Next time, RTFM! :-p

Call me a purist, but quoting http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/ (and you
can probably find likewise paragraphs in other xhtml specs, all
stemming from the basic XML property that id's are unique):
"4.10. The elements with 'id' and 'name' attributes
HTML 4 defined the name attribute for the elements a, applet, form,
frame, iframe, img, and map. HTML 4 also introduced the id
attribute. Both of these attributes are designed to be used as
fragment identifiers.
In XML, fragment identifiers are of type ID, and there can only be a
single attribute of type ID per element. Therefore, in XHTML 1.0 the
id attribute is defined to be of type ID. In order to ensure that
XHTML 1.0 documents are well-structured XML documents, XHTML 1.0
documents MUST use the id attribute when defining fragment
identifiers on the elements listed above. See the HTML Compatibility
Guidelines for information on ensuring such anchors are backward
compatible when serving XHTML documents as media type text/html.
Note that in XHTML 1.0, the name attribute of these elements is
formally deprecated, and will be removed in a subsequent version of
XHTML."
So, using the same ID produces non-valid documents if you ask me.
Best,
Koen

This is correct, and in order to properly validate I changed it to
transitional instead of strict. This is an internal app....if it were
external I would do this differently for sure

Hello Good People,
I am not sure if the feature exists, but would not it be a good idea
if the proxy configurations for php can be globally set - say for
example in the php.ini , .... having a global proxy configuration will
allow php scripts to access external resources from within a firewall
.....
A good use case might be - I write a CMS that syndicates RSS feeds
from the internet but is itself located in a intranet behind a http://
proxy... as of now, I manually do it in my code for every script - so
it makes by job easier if there is a global config set up some where?
Similarly, it would be also good to have proxy support for https, ftp, ... etc
Any workarounds and suggestions are welcome :)
Cheers!

Greetings Gents,
I am interested in running two versions of of PHP.
I want to see if I can get my boss to buy into migrating to PHP 5.
I want to set it up locally.
Locally I am running apache on a windows XP box with PHP 4.
I would like I would like to be able to set up PHP 5 as well on the
server and have some folders/virtual hosts set up in php 4 and others in
php 5?
Is this possible?
How would I go about doing it?
Thanks
Phillip

Set up one as module, the other as CGI (or both as CGI of course).
google will provide you with many many pointers on this subject, eg:

I wrote up a little HOWTO on my site on getting PHP4 (as module) and PHP5
(as cgi) running concurrently. Maybe it'll help

Another alternative... Since you're on Windows you might look into
trying XAMPP (http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html). They have
a batch file that you can run to switch from php4 to php5 whenever you
like.
