Try Google or the archives. Maybe this will help:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general&m=104394135908378&w=2
Or, better yet, try the cellphone's (company's) site--they should have some info on
what http_user_agent strings their cellphones are using (mine does)...

php also checks for MAX_FILE_SIZE as you can see in rfc1867.c
while (!cancel_upload && (blen = multipart_buffer_read(mbuff, buff, sizeof(buff)
TSRMLS_CC)))
{
if (total_bytes > PG(upload_max_filesize)) {
sapi_module.sapi_error(E_WARNING, "upload_max_filesize of %ld bytes
exceeded - file [%s=%s] not saved", PG(upload_max_filesize), param, filename);
cancel_upload = UPLOAD_ERROR_A;
} else if (max_file_size && (total_bytes > max_file_size)) {
sapi_module.sapi_error(E_WARNING, "MAX_FILE_SIZE of %ld bytes exceeded
- file [%s=%s] not saved", max_file_size, param, filename);
cancel_upload = UPLOAD_ERROR_B;
} else if (blen > 0) {
wlen = fwrite(buff, 1, blen, fp);
if (wlen < blen) {
sapi_module.sapi_error(E_WARNING, "Only %d bytes were written,
expected to write %ld", wlen, blen);
cancel_upload = UPLOAD_ERROR_C;
} else {
total_bytes += wlen;
}
}
}
So I set max post to something huge then control it on a form by form
basis,, which seems to work fine and fills in the error bit for me if
it is too big

It would only work IF the browser supported it. The fact that it didn't work
(ie didn't prevent the upload) would suggest that IE doesn't support it?

Hi,
In case someone is interested I found the workaround.
1. IE6 does not take into consideration MAX_FILE_SIZE,
so one can not rely on it on client side.
2. If the uploaded file exceeds the post_max_size, the PHP
engine (4.3.1 in my case) does not give you any error in the PHP
script which handles the upload, nor does it take into consideration
MAX_FILE_SIZE. It simply logs the error as shown and does
not even parse the post data anymore.
So, the workaround is to make the post_max_size large enough
so that it fits, like 100MB and the PHP will take into consideration
the MAX_FILE_SIZE, discard the upload and give you the
$_FILES['userfile']['error'] = UPLOAD_ERR_FORM_SIZE
I for one consider this a flaw in the engine.
Anyway, hope this helps,
Catalin

Not sure what exactly you're looking for but...
You can try triggering a 404 then click on the "show source" at the

Try changing the internal encoding to utf-8. (in php.ini, that is. Not sure how it'll
work though...) I'm using euc-jp and I just use mb_convert_encoding() when necessary...

Not sure about the others but I believe Namazu has all the extensions you need.
Besides, there's a Namazu module that you can use in php. Infos I know are all in

Believe it or not, creating a variable called $value_* isn't going to

Hi Henrik,
Take a look at session_id, you can use it to get or set the session id.
Using some of my random generation functions I juse 72 to 96 character
session ids for my more secure PHP applications. Remember if you want
it to remain secure you need to pass it through SSL, longer keys do no
good if someone is packet sniffing.

I'm trying to figure out how to make the PHPSESSID cookie be longer then 32

One can set the entropy file and entropy length, but if my understanding of
entropy is correct then that just helps randomize the 32 chars and not not
actually make a string that much longer or shorter.
Can't seem to find anything in the archives or Google.
Then again, is a 32-length string sufficient for protecting a browser session
length of "session"?
Thanks.

Take a look at register_shutdown_function, it sounds like it might do
what you want just be aware that you obviously can't display output once
the connection is closed because no one is listening .
void register_shutdown_function ( callback function)
Registers the function named by function to be executed when script
processing is complete. If the function function does not exist
(undefined), an error of level E_WARNING is generated.

Hi,
is it possible to close the connection to the client/browser without calling

I have an input-script for a chat-system, wich gives a Status 204 No Content
to the client after submit, wich works great. The problem is, that sometimes
the script needs some time to finish after sending the 204 and keeps the
connection over this time, wich couses Internet Explorer and sometimes even
Mozilla to crash if too much connections to the script are active.

Hi Pete Morganic ,
Thanks for reply. But the code is not solving my problem. May be I
did not epress my problem clearly.
Actually I wanted to store the returned value so that I can write
it on page like

I'd lay the blame elsewhere.
Stallman's writings are fairly direct and concise. He has helped clarify
the semantics of "free", and he has contrasted the sort of freedom he
expounds with other concepts of freedom and openness. Whether you agree
with him or not, his arguments and ideas are useful in both intellectual
and business senses.
You don't have to agree with people to learn from them, and you don't
even have to agree with people to let them do their work, in general.
The FUD comes from other sources.

There was a long thread (more than one, in fact) on this subject on the
postgresql list(s), which referenced a thread on the php-dev list:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=postgresql-general&m=105631920423234&w=2
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-dev&m=105621207500778&w=2
Of course, the issue of the license the driver falls under is mostly one
of convenience, at least for the application programmer and end-user, I
think. It doesn't really alter the legal status of most projects using
MySQL and PHP (when the parts are assembled correctly), nor does it
alter the moral/enlightened-self-interest obligations to pass some of
the action back to the producers of free/open tools that help one make
money.
For MySQL AB, it will likely mean taking a slip in market share, since
they lose their "favored" status in the PHP community. From what I've
seen, Monty's a fairly sharp guy. For all I know, this may be a
deliberate move to level the playing field and let the free/open source
community get a broader view of some of the alternatives to the DB
software sold by the primary source of the FUD.

"1. Free use for those who are 100% GPL"
IOW, it's not free for PHP
"2. Free use for those who never copy, modify or distribute"
IOW, it's not free for PHP
3. GPL would infect the whole PHP tree

If anybody has implemented UPS's shipping registration software using PHP &

Sorry for the lack of detail but UPS is FULL OF Lawyers and I don't want to
violate the license agreement.
Another question, are there any characters that would break the

Guys/Gals,
I've built a registration page on a site that stores a unique id for a
user when they register. That id is then stored in a database and set as
a session variable and as a cookie and is used to register personal user
preferences.
The reason I use both is that I don't really want to make people log in
everytime they revisit the site. I use the session so that people who
have cookies turned off can still benefit from the personalisation. The
cookie is used so that when a user revisits the site, they don't have to
log in again.
I then have a script that I call in every page that checks for the
session variable and the cookie. I have been testing the script using
echo $_SESSION['usr']; and
echo $_COOKIE['usr'];
and I get correct values for both. Unfortunately if I then close the
browser, reopen it and visit the site, both the cookie and the session
produce no values. Obviously, the session value should be blank, but the
cookie should produce a value.
This is my 'global' cookie/session checker script:
<?php
session_start();
// CHECK IF SESSION EXISTS.
if (!isset($_SESSION['usr'])) {
// IF NO, THEN CHECK FOR COOKIE
if (isset($_COOKIE['usr'])) {
// IF 'YES' THEN START SESSION
$_SESSION['usr'] = $_COOKIE['usr'];
}
// IF 'YES' THEN QUIT
}
else {
// IF THE SESSION EXISTS, MAKE SURE [EMAIL PROTECTED] VALUE MATCHES THAT OF THE
COOKIE
setcookie("usr", $_SESSION['usr'],
mktime(21,00,0,12,31,2014),"/","bigbarn0.kbnet.net", 0);
// END
}
?>
If anyone can point out an error, please do!
Thanks,
Matt

Hello,
I would like to be able to use $HTTP_*_VARS[].
When I was using PHP 4.0.4PL1 I had no provlems sending form variables or
any other type of variables such as url variables from one page to another.
Now with PHP 4.2.3 I am unable to send variables from one page to another
unless I turn on register_globals.
How do I use $HTTP_*_VARS[] without a lot of recoding of all pages or do I
simply leave register_globals on.
Or is ther another way?
Thankyou,
Ivan
--- End Message ---
--- Begin Message ---
Hi,
I presume in the previous version you used register_globals=On
the trick is that you will have to chenge most of the scripts now.
Now that you have moved to 4.2.3 version,
you should use the $_SERVER, $_REQUEST, $_POST, etc...
variables instead of $HTTP_*_VARS
Btw. It's agood idea to leave register_globals off.
Cheers,
Catalin

Ok, here is my problem. I have a Postscript file that looks something like
this:
%!PS-Adobe-3.0
%%Title: Q-111BSD
%%Creator: Windows NT 4.0
%%CreationDate: 8:31 6/30/2003
%%Pages: (atend) .....
And I want to get the Q-111BSD into a variable but I can't figure out how to
keep it from grabbing the next line as well. Does anyone have any idea how
I can do this? Thanks in advance!

Errrr.... I used the wrong variables in the previous message. I also
assumed that the start and end times are actually TIME and not strings
(which appears to be the case since you are subtracting one from the
other). If the start and end AREN'T time types you would have to
convert them first. You should be able to use 'strtotime' or mktime to
convert them to time type.
Also, the gmstrtime used above would limit the time to 24 hours. If
there is a possibility that the difference in time might be more than
24 hours you can do something like this:
printf( "%d days %s", (int)($tot_time / 86400), gmstrftime(
"%H:%M:%S", $tot_time ) );
So, here is what I probably should have posted:
<?PHP
$tot_time = ($data['end_time'] - $data['start_time']);
echo strftime( "%H:%M:%S", $data['end_time'] ) . " - ";
echo strftime( "%H:%M:%S", $data['start_time'] ) . " = ";
printf( "%d days %s", (int)($tot_time / 86400),
gmstrftime( "%H:%M:%S", $tot_time ) );
?>

quote of http://www.php.net/manual/en/control-structures.elseif.php
"In PHP, you can also write 'else if' (in two words) and the behavior
would be identical to the one of 'elseif' (in a single word). The
syntactic meaning is slightly different (if you're familiar with C, this
is the same behavior) but the bottom line is that both would result in
exactly the same behavior."
therefore: a space :o)

why not? If there's no difference, there is no difference. Meaning you can use
one or the other. It's user preference.

Have you checked register_globals = on/off in your php.ini?
If register_globals=off, then you must access your POST variables by:
$_POST['whatever'];
and your get (the stuff you put at the end of your URL's):
$_GET['whatever'];

None of these worked for me. ok, if you look at the code, the part
where "echo $_SESSION['uid'];" is actually works.
I get a print out of the variable. if i call session_start() before
anything, set variables in $_SESSION, and check it on another page, the
session variables do not exist. in fact, the session isnt even started,
cause I get an "Undefined variable _SESSION". so, it looks like the
session is not spamming page requests. Do I have to call
session_start() on every page to read the $_SESSION variables set in
another?

John,
I can think of 3 problems...
1. I'm not sure, but try inserting a 'session_start()' in file.php
2. in ur validateadminlogin() method, the mysql_close() never seems to get
called.
3. try $_SESSION['uid'] . use ' instead of ". " seema to cause problems in
some cases.
best of luck,
-shiva

Subject: IsSet() and $_SESSION
I'm having a problem with the value that isset returns on $_SESSION
variables. For some reason, even if $_SESSION['uid'] is set, isset
returns FALSE. Here is the code:
------ file1.php -----------
include "file2.php";
if (!isset($_SESSION["uid"])) {
// This first time $_SESSION["uid"] is check, we should
// end up in here. However, ValidAdminLogin (next test)
// will set $_SESSION["uid"] so next time we will not
// get here.
if ( !ValidAdminLogin($_POST["adminid"],$_POST["adminpass"]))
forceadminlogin();
} elseif ( !ValidAdminSession() )
forceadminlogin();
// this is done to show that $_SESSION["uid"] is being set
// but isset still returns false
echo $_SESSION["uid"];
------ file2.php -----------
function ValidAdminLogin($user, $pass){
global $_SESSION;
if (The_MYSQL_Stuff_Is_NOT_OK) return false;
else
{
session_start();
$_SESSION["logged"] = true;
$_SESSION["username"] = $user;
$_SESSION["adminlogin"] = true;
$_SESSION["fname"] = $fname;
$_SESSION["lname"] = $lname;
$_SESSION["email"] = $email;
$_SESSION["uid"] = session_id();
return true;
}
mysql_close();
}

Yes. Every page that needs access to the session variables must call session_start().
That's what it means on http://www.php.net/session-start when it says "creates a
session or resumes the current one".
In practice, this means every page, as even if you don't access any session variables
you may still need the session ID in order to pass it along to the next page (even if
only implicitly via session.use_trans_sid).
Cheers!
Mike

How do you handle storing the login info then? Do you encrypt the
file and decrypt it on the fly? Where would you store the key? I'm in
the process of setting up a new application, and I've always used the
"login info outside the webroot" method but if there's something more
I can do, I'd like to know...
