Your original code works for me, so it is a config issue somewhere.
Add this code to each file, to verify that the session ID is being correctly
passed:
echo "session id is " . session_id() . "<br>";
Also, is your php.ini in /usr/local/lib? If PHP can't find it, it will use
its built-in defaults, which is register_globals off.

I agree that it's probably a config problem -- somewhere...
Yes, the session ID is passed correctly, but since page1.php doesn't end up
with any variables or values in the session file, so regardless that it has
the right session ID, there's nothing in the session file to restore...
The php.ini file is in /etc/php.ini (but that's where it's supposed to be
in this distribution), and phpinfo shows it there, and when I turn
register_globals on and off there, I see it change both in phpinfo and from
a php script.
And if you want to look, a copy of my php.ini is available at
http://4.43.81.92/phpini.txt

Sorry, I am stumped. I don't see any problems in the .ini file. Have you
tried some simple code in "register_globals off" style?
<?
session_start();
$_SESSION['test'] = 'foobar';
header('Location: page2.php');
?>
<?
session_start();
echo "test is {$_SESSION['test']}<br>";

Using the $_SESSION[] style produces the same results... Zero length
session file in /tmp, and no data passed... (available at
http://4.43.81.92/page1a.php)
So where do I go from here... Is there any way to debug it? Like I
said, I suspect it's not a PHP code bug, but I'm at a loss as to where to
go from here (other than re-writing the entire application in some other
language -- which I really don't want to do)...
Help?

Hi,
Doest your ftp account have sufficient access rights for deleting theses
files ?
Is your apache user is "nobody" , the chmod will not work ( take a look at
your error log file), so,
only nobody or root will able to remove these entries..

Hello,
I'm having some slight issues. I have a script which creates a directory and
then copies a blank file into it 4 times each with different names. Here's
the code which does it:
<?php
$folder = str_replace(' ', '_', $HTTP_POST_VARS['title']);
$folder = str_replace('.', '', $folder);
mkdir('./tutorials/'.$HTTP_POST_VARS['folder'].'/'.$folder, 0777);
copy('./tutorials/blank.txt',
'./tutorials/'.$HTTP_POST_VARS['folder'].'/'.$folder.'/desc.txt');
copy('./tutorials/blank.txt',
'./tutorials/'.$HTTP_POST_VARS['folder'].'/'.$folder.'/rating.txt');
copy('./tutorials/blank.txt',
'./tutorials/'.$HTTP_POST_VARS['folder'].'/'.$folder.'/overview.txt');
copy('./tutorials/blank.txt',
'./tutorials/'.$HTTP_POST_VARS['folder'].'/'.$folder.'/views.txt');
chmod('./tutorials/'.$HTTP_POST_VARS['folder'].'/'.$folder.'/desc.txt',
0777);
chmod('./tutorials/'.$HTTP_POST_VARS['folder'].'/'.$folder.'/rating.txt',
0777);
chmod('./tutorials/'.$HTTP_POST_VARS['folder'].'/'.$folder.'/overview.txt',
0777);
chmod('./tutorials/'.$HTTP_POST_VARS['folder'].'/'.$folder.'/views.txt',
0777);
$fp =
fopen('./tutorials/'.$HTTP_POST_VARS['folder'].'/'.$folder.'/desc.txt',
'w+');
fwrite($fp, $HTTP_POST_VARS['desc']);
$fp =
fopen('./tutorials/'.$HTTP_POST_VARS['folder'].'/'.$folder.'/overview.txt',
'w+');
fwrite($fp, $HTTP_POST_VARS['overview']);
$fp =
fopen('./tutorials/'.$HTTP_POST_VARS['folder'].'/'.$folder.'/views.txt',
'w+');
fwrite($fp, '0');
$fp =
fopen('./tutorials/'.$HTTP_POST_VARS['folder'].'/'.$folder.'/rating.txt',
'w+');
fwrite($fp, '0');
?>
After all that is done, it's fine. The problem I'm having is deleting the
folder in an FTP client. Whenever I go to delete it, it says it cannot
delete desc.txt because permission is denied. Is there any way to make it so
it can be deleted? Please help and reply soon. Thanks!

Thanks Tom,
I appreciate your help ! however I have a 2 quick questions...
1.) should we not save the names of the companies as $companies[$row]
= $row['company'];
2.) the approach of accessing the variable as $details =
$_SESSION['link']['$_GET['name']] is not
working , when I try to echo the $details is get something else.
I am not sure how we use the
$_SESSION[ ] [ ] with 2 variables as shown.
any help will be appreciated.

in the href put

Make a seperate array as you loop
$companies[$row['name']] = $row;
in your session store it as
$_SESSION['link'] = $companies;
You can then access it in profile php as
$details = $_SESSION['link']['$_GET['name']]

I'm not sure in what context or what purpose you wish to do so.
There is, in general, nothing wrong with storing your information
like that.

I assume you mean:
$_SESSION['link'][$_GET['name']];
If you could provide an example on how you set the array that would
be easier to let you know why your output is not comming back
right.
Please Compose a new message and type a subject when starting a new

No that won't work
What we are trying to achieve is
array['companyname'] = row[]
send the code you have so far and i'll have a look.
After the loop use
echo '<pre>';
print_r($companies);
echo '</pre>';
That will show the array structure you have created.
Do the same for $_SESSION on the next page and it will all become
clear :)

Hi Everyone.
I'm having problems creating code to read a file from another server.
1. Is this even possible? with a secure server aswell?
2. I have tried using fopen() but this always gives me an error:
Warning: stat failed for http://www.domain.com/test.txt (errno=2 - No such
file or directory) in /home/domain/public_html/php/testphp/test.php on line
4
this is my code:
<?php
$filename = "http://www.domain.com/test.txt";;
$handle = fopen ($filename, "r");
$content = fread($handle, filesize ($filename));
fclose($handle);
echo $content;
?>
can anyone help me. I need to put this on my server, and read this other
file form a game server....but I can't seem to do it.
Cheers for any help

This code can be replaced with:
readfile('http://www.domain.com/test.txt');
As far as debugging problems related to this, check your php.ini and make sure
the URL wrapper is enabled. Otherwise, you will be restricted to your local
filesystem only.
Hope that helps.

If PHP has decided that filename specifies a registered protocol, and that
protocol is registered as a network URL, PHP will check to make sure that
allow_url_fopen is enabled. If it is switched off, PHP will emit a warning
and the fopen call will fail.
But then again, that's not the error it gave...

The readfile() functions outputs the contents of the file and returns the size
of the file in bytes. So, when you assigned $result to the return value, you
demonstrated that readfile() output 0 bytes (which explains why you didn't see
anything).
I'm pretty sure your php.ini is set to allow this, otherwise you would receive
an error. I'm doubting whether that URL actually contains any content. How have
you tested to be sure it does?

That's only if you're going between frames, if the whole form (as usual) is

Hi guys.
Sorry, i know that was discussed earlier this month ... i just looked for
the posting again in the archives ... i could only find the question post ...
but there was an answer.
So, how do you setup the server again to have php4 run on the :80 port and
php5 on :8080 (apache server). Does it collide?
Thanks

I've done it... but you have to run one as CGI, one can be module or CGI.
To run one as CGI and one as module:
LoadModule php5_module "/path/to/php4apache.dll"
ScriptAlias /php/ "/path/to/php4/folder/"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php5
AddType application/x-httpd-php4 .php4
Action application/x-httpd-php4 /php/php.exe (I'm using windows)
Or to run both as CGI:
ScriptAlias /php4/ "/path/to/php4/folder"
ScriptAlias /php5/ "/path/to/php5/folder"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php5
AddType application/x-httpd-php4 .php4
Action application/x-httpd-php4 /php4/php.exe
Action application/x-httpd-php /php5/php.exe

Oh, I'm stupid! That is how you have .php5 as php5 and .php4 as php4... if
you're using virtual hosts, you just replace:
AddType application/x-httpd-php4 .php4
with:
AddType application/x-httpd-php4 .php
and put the AddType in the <VirtualHost>.

hi,
you also could run two static compiled versions of apache (if apache) with
php4 and 5 compiled in, but you need another ip-address to bind to - also
have to manage 2 apaches....(not a problem or what? ,-).

Yes, it can be better to pass in a variable (by reference if you need
to write to it from within a function and not have it as the value
that you return), e.g.
function doSomething(&$a){
$a = 20;
return true; // to signify success
}
$a = 10;
doSomething($a);
echo $a; // prints 20

I will put up the link to the example later. I'd just like to mention one
thing if anyone else uses this solution:
You may want to put both tables in the <div> tags and give them both
absolute locations. This eliminates the possiblity of having a mismatched
table as different browsers are used.

The documentation for preg_match_all has an excelent pattern for

Hi,
I'm trying to track session data and merge several related services
through a common server-side session (using Apache). One condition is
that it won't use cookies to store the user data OR the session ID.
Another is that the services we're merging use different languages,
including PHP and Perl (Apache::Session module) so whatever I use needs
to be supported by both of these.
My question - what is the best way to "know" the session id between
pages? Posting it in the URL and using $_GET["PHPSESSID"] is one
solution, but this seems like a hassle and is also open to attack if
someone could "guess" a valid session ID. Or, would it better to avoid
transferring session ids altogether and generate unique "names" on each
page? What works well for generating the name? I'm thinking something
like a hash of their IP plus a private key, but maybe someone knows
problems with this or has a better/easier solution.
Also, outside of changing session.use_cookies to false and
session.save_path to a PHP- and Perl- happy location, are there any
other php.ini or Apache settings I should be changing?
Any comments or thoughts are greatly appreciated!

As a side note, you should probably use a word like "put" to describe placing
data in the URL like that, because "post" refers to a different method
altogether. :-)
As for session IDs, there are basically three ways you can have the client send
that to you:
1. In a Cookie header
2. In the URL
3. In the content section (POST)
These are all quite open to attack, especially over non-SSL connections (which
is the more popular case). In your case, cookies are probably not an option if
you are dealing with multiple domains. At the very least, they can only help to
track a session on one domain, and you'll have to develop a way to transfer the
session across domains anyway. POST is sort of a hassle, because you have to
make sure every request from your users is a POST. So, sending data in the URL
is probably your best choice.
Try to focus on two tasks as you try to secure this data transfer:
1. Try to make the session ID hard to get and hard to guess.
2. Try to make a stolen session ID useless to anyone but the rightful owner.
Too often, developers try to focus on (and depend on) task 1. While trying to
keep session IDs secret is good, task 2 is at least equally as important.
How do you achieve this? Consider an HTTP request from your legitimate user:
GET /blah.php?session_id=1234 HTTP/1.1
Host: example.org
User-Agent: Mozilla (Gecko) Linux 2.4.1.2.3.4
There are usually many more headers, but this example will suffice. Now,
depending on specific HTTP headers is never a good plan (you might notice
people warning against depending on the Referer header), but this is only if
you do this for every user. The headers that the *same* user sends are going to
be much more consistent. In the above example, you can be pretty certain that,
regardless of HTTP proxies or anything else, the user is going to send the same
User-Agent header in each request. So, why not store this in the session (on
the server), and check to make sure it matches every time? This approach
shouldn't adversely affect your users, but it should complicate impersonation.
And that is how you play the game of security - try to make things easy for the
good guys and hard for the bad guys. By adding this simple User-Agent check, a
bad guy can't just use a stolen session ID to impersonate someone. The bad guy
has to also send the same User-Agent header. Can this be done? Sure, and it's
not too hard, but it is something, and everything helps.
Hopefully this can get your creative juices flowing.

Thanks for the response Chris, that's just the type of thing I was
looking for!
So, I'm thinking a plausible session id could be made by hashing their
identification (to make it useful to the rightful owner only) with a
private key (to make it hard to get and guess). I think the
identification could be their IP, user agent, and maybe one or two more
constant headers. The private key, of course, could be anything
unguessable and kept secure.
This leads me to one more question - would it be better to pass this by
PUTing it in the URL or generating it at the start of each page.
Passing is pretty simple, but I think generating it has the added
benefit of the end user being unable to forge it because it never leaves
the server or comes from the client. Does this seem reasonable and
worthwhile? (I have a habit of overcomplicating things like this :-))
Thanks again,
Matt

If you don't want to use cookies, then you need to pass a session ID

to "hide" the session id. I don't understand what you mean by "unique
names on each page" but I don't think that's any way to maintain state.

Using the IP of the user may force things to break on the client
easily. There are a number of users who are behind proxies that
change per request (ie aol users.) thus their session would become
obsolete on their next request.
Another issue would be inactivity for the session. You could also
keep keep track of an internal last_requested variable that would
expire after a certain amount of time.

I suppose it would depend on how secure you want your session to be
from SID hijaking. A generation of key hash per request would be
perhaps a little over kill if you are just keeping track of a last
page the person was on. Handling sensitive information, however is
a different story (ie cc numbers).

A few comments...
This session ID doesn't have to be generated from any user data. It can be a
completely random and unique string that you generate for any user who arrives
at your site without an active session. Even though it is probably very
difficult to reverse or guess a valid ID from your method above, the extra risk
isn't necessary.
Also, the IP address isn't a very good piece of data to use, because it is not
necessarily consistent. So, while it might make things harder for the bad guys
(to spoof the good guy's IP), it could also can make things hard for the good
guys (they are AOL users, lose their modem connection, etc.).
So doesn't this contradict everything I mentioned previously? No, the data I
mentioned keeping (User-Agent is my favorite example) is data that you can keep
on the server within the session, such as:
$_SESSION['user_agent'] = $_SERVER['USER_AGENT'];
That would be the first tme, of course. Since session variables aren't sent
to/from the client (unless you output one, of course), they are safer than
things transmitted across the public Internet. So, the session ID doesn't have
to have any data within it that makes it useless to anyone but the rightful
owner - the session that it is associated with on the server can instead. This
might make things simpler for you.

You lost me with that bit. While it is good that you want to eliminate any
unnecessary transmission of data across the Internet, the session ID is the one
thing the client *must* send you in order for you to maintain session. It is
how you identify who it is.
Maybe you can rephrase what you're asking?
Hope that helps.

I forgot to mention, be sure to check how far you are in your loop
cause last time i checked:
...
var z[];

If you notice in the manual under the function name:
file_put_contents
(PHP 5 CVS only)
PHP documentors have been excellent at keeping most documentation
up to par specifying when things become available.

Hi everyone,
I am having some funny output and funny things happening to my scripts since
I changed hosts...
my login scripts were working fine before but now they dont seem to
work...also there is a hidden text box appearing in the
code that i didnt write...this is it:
<input type="hidden" name="PHPSESSID"
value="ad2e5a31727b2b4eb28b2d0c2d6ee67e" />
Also notice that it ends with a slash that I didnt have anything to do with.
Any ideas on why this is happening? you can have a look at the php info for
this site at:
http://bestwebhosters.com/phpinfo.php
Kindly reply,
-Ryan

Your new host has session.use_trans_sid enabled, and perhaps your old one did
not.
The slash at the end is XHTML compliant, which is how PHP tries to add code (in
case you care about XHTML compliance).
Hope that helps.

Hey,
Thanks for replying.
So how do i get my scripts working again? the authentication part was
working perfectly but now it just kicks me back to the login page...
plus it looks like I am unable to set sessions properly, and i suspect thats
why i am getting kicked back to the login page.
Kindly reply,
-Ryan

You're probably right.
This is a wild guess, but I bet register_globals is disabled on your new host.
Check the archives for lots of good information about what this means, what you
need to do, etc. This question comes up weekly, so there should be plenty of
information.
Hope that helps.

I am using PHP to develop and web app.
The app also has a scripting language for the *end user*. I was thinking
if I could expose a very simple subset of PHP to them (foreach,
if-then-else, variable assignments and comments) and then simply "eval"
it. But I don't want them to use calls like system or do infinite loops
etc. that will screw up the system.
I was thinking if I had a PHPparser that returns tokens, then I can
eliminate the call to unwanted funtions, etc.
Any ideas on how I should proceed?
Thanks.

There is the tokenizer extension... http://www.php.net/tokenizer
This might give you a good start.

Hi Nikhil,
There are a number of choices already out there. In phpDocumentor
(http://www.phpdoc.org) is a parser that is based on the tokenizer.
Also available in PEAR CVS is the PHP_Parser, which is a generated
parser based on PHP's own zend_language_parser.y
(http://cvs.php.net/cvs.php/pear/PHP_Parser?login=2)
Regards,
Greg
