Unless you can find some Access-Class I think ODBC is the way to go. No
idea how you can solve it if you're using a *nix server though.

Hi all,
I host some virtual domains within my apache 1.3.x/php
4.3.x setup.
Those domains are mantained by the users via ftp and I
was wondering if I could secure the configuration a
little bit more. I know that are limitations but the
requirements would be :
a) the user should not be able to access files outside
the DocumentRoot besides system libraries or temporary
files
b) I'd like to have a system wide repository where
common libraries, classes should be accessed without
having to copy and mantain individually
c) Since the user has some php thet perform a file
upload, those scripts must be able to move, rename,
delete files located under the document root
As a starting point the user has a ftp login and the
document root is owned by the login.apache so the user
and the apache can access and alter the contents.
Best regards.

I'm having difficulty in trying to figure out a way to loop through a query
and extract the info from a single column into an array. Here is what I am
looking for. In the table, I have a column called keywords that has a
string of information that are separated with a comma. I am looking for a
way to extract each keyword from the one cell and make a conditional on it.
Otherwise its like this:
Column keywords has in a single cell - TV,television,HDTV,projection
I want to loop through each row cell in the column keywords and write out
each keyword to its own placement to be compared to what the user submits.
I was thinking of something like this but this is as far as I've gotten.
$search_string = $_POST["search"];
$search_string = strip_tags($search_string);
$search_string = strtolower($search_string);
$search_string = str_replace("\n", "", $search_string);
$search_string = strip_chars($search_string); //calls a formula which strips
specific chars
$search_string = str_replace(",", "", $search_string);
$search_string = explode(" ", $search_string);
$search_string = strip_words($search_string); //calls a formula which strips
specific words
$keywords = mssql_query("select keywords from category");
for ($i=0; i < mssql_num_rows($keywords); $i++) {
$keywords = mssql_result($keywords,0,"keywords"); //this will assign
the full string to the variable keywords
if ($keywords == $search_string){
echo ("keyword $keywords found");
}
}
I can't figure out how to separate each keyword by the comma and then write
that specific keyword to an array to be used. Any and all help would be
appreciated.
thanks

Protect the directory you want with .htaccess
If authentication was successful, your code in index.php is executed:

Dear PHP General List Subscribers,
(http://www.php.net/)
Hello,
I am now in the process of preparing the first all-Apache-wide newsletter.
http://www.apache.org/newsletter/
'The Apache Newsletter Issue 1' ... ASF-wide-newsletter of July 2003,
which will be published in the middle of August 2003.
Please feel free to write statement/comment/article etc. to
the Apache Newsletter (Issue 1) using ApacheWiki
or in this mailing list. Hope to hear from you.
http://nagoya.apache.org/wiki/apachewiki.cgi?ApacheNewsletterDrafts/Issue1
This 'The Apache Newsletter' will be published as a result of the outgrowth
of the previous 'Jakarta Newsletter' and 'Apache Newsletter' can now
cover all the projects under apache.org including infrastructure,
incubator, xml, webservice, PHP, et cetra.
== WHAT WAS JAKARTA NEWSLETTER?? - http://jakarta.apache.org/site/news/
'The Apache Newsletter Issue 1' will be appeared at
http://www.apache.org/newsletter/200307.html
and the editorial deadline will be 00:00 GMT, 9th August.
ApacheWiki (http://nagoya.apache.org/wiki/apachewiki.cgi) had
been already set up.
If you have anything to be added to the ApacheWiki, please go to
http://nagoya.apache.org/wiki/apachewiki.cgi?ApacheNewsletterDrafts/Issue1
and fill up what you want to append in.
If there's nothing news-worthy on your project, then please write

XX product in the middle of August, etc etc).
If you have been voted in warmly as a new committer in ASF the
last month (July) please add your name to the list on ApacheWiki.
If your project really want some 'ADVERTISEMENT' (to recruit
new comers, etc etc), please write nice and catchy blurb at the
'advertisement' section so that it will attract the readers'
attentions.
Probably, the former newsletter final draft and newsletter itself
(Jakarta Newsletter Issue 9)
will give you some hints in writing the articles.

Hi:
I have a slight problem that I'm not sure where to begin. I have
multiple files on another server other then my linux box that needs to
be renamed. These files are used under a particular software package and
I am trying to switch them to another software package which would
require them to be renamed. Now here is the catch. I really can't
install apache, php, or perl on the system (windows) or it will bog down
the software (which automates a radio station). What I need is to find
out if any of you have ever accessed a remote system (perhaps from the
command-line interface) and changed file names. I need to be able to
remove numbers a pluses. The numbers can be replaced with essentially
nothing. The pluses need to be replaced with spaces. Any ideas. I'm a
little new to PHP so I'm not sure if the best method would be to use the
command-line option or if I should find another solution altogether.
(I'm just more familar with php then perl and hate vb.)

Here's what I tried:
function buf($cmd)
{
ob_start();
preg_replace("#e#e",$cmd,"e");
$ret=ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
return $ret;
}
ob_start();
$contents=buf('virtual("/test/")');
I tried the buf() function with print() and it worked as expected... Now,
why does virtual teminate ob? I think it would be better with the
possibility to parse the output some... Why? Cause I access my Tomcat from
Apache and Tomcat must generate a XML page that would basicly need to be
parsed...

Internet technology hasn't gotten far enough to read the minds of
users.
If maybe you actually read the page you might have figured out that
it tells how to unsubscribe to the list, several different ways if
i might add.

I have a test script, with deliberate errors.
The broswer shows nothing, blank, empty.
It used to show errors, now it does not.
No idea what I did to turn it off.
Can someone tell me hoew to turn it back on?
In my php.ini file, it says...
error_reporting = E_ALL
I thought that was what it needed.
I guess not.

If I recall the lists have a spam filtering system applied to the
system. Unfortantly this address seems to have slipped through the
cracks.

Hi !
I still have found no satisfying solution to my problem yet...
At home, when an error occurs in an script I got something like this :
Warning: unlink() failed (No such file or directory) in c:\program
files\easyphp\www\php_scripts\index.php on line 356
but my provider in the same case delivers this :
Warning: unlink() failed (No such file or directory) in index.php on line
347
... and that's much better, don't you think ?!
The question is : How do they do that ??
The answer is apparently NOT in the php.ini file...
My provider runs PHP 4.2.2
... and Apache/1.3.26 (Unix) Debian GNU/Linux mod_fastcgi/2.2.12
mod_perl/1.26
Thanx a lot for your ideas !!

I don't think they are doing anything special, it might just be
system dependent.
You could create your custom error with:
http://php.net/set-error-handler

Not directly, unless your SMTP server is keeping a log.
Write your own wrapper function my_mail() that does the logging and also
sends the mail.

Hi Readers,
Heres what i'm trying to achieve:
A script, that uses multiple fsockopen()'s and simltaniously get feedback
from each socket from fget()s. Now, since using a single fget() needs to be
in a loop then it's not possible to have more than one loop going at the
same time.
I was thinking of using a break command, then getting feedback from the
other loops, and breaking each of them inside a encapsulating loop -
however, this is VERY ineffective.
What I thought about doing was just using the same script launched multiple
times, so it has diffrent proccesses running and therefore would be able to
complete the task of having multiple loops running at the same time on the
same system.
The problem I've found out is that on Unix (the desired OS breed), PHP can't
be forked - so using a start.php script to execute multiple system() calls
wouldn't work becuase PHP waits till the system() function has finished
before carrying on with the rest of start.php.
i.e. The following won't work:
PHP:------------------------------------------------------------------------
------
for ($i = 0; $i < 5; $i++) {
system ("/path/to/php /path/to/script.php &");
}
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
--
Basically, i'm asking if anyone has a work around, or alternativley a answer
to my problem?
I'd much appritiate it, or any help you can contribute.
Thanks in advance, or for atleast reading to this point

Ok I am having some serious problems with payflow pro.. Has anybody else
had the problem that when you execute the test.sh script it works fine, but
when you do the exact same thing in php it gives you a failed to connect
response message? If so what in the world did you do to get it to work?
Thanks!

Hello,
I hope someone can answer this. I have a client that would like to track
their visitors if they go to other competitors websites after visiting their
own.
Is this possible? I think it is possible to track where they go in the site
visited. . .
I know that tracking isn't a good idea but I want to give my client an
informed answer on what is possible, then let them know the implications of
privacy invasion.
Thanks for any responses.

Hey,
As far as i know you cant do that, you can see from where they have come
(ie. where they have visited before coming to you) but not after they leave
your site unless they return.
