Hi Folks,
I use the regular form POST method to send variables from Domain A to Domain B. On
domain B I run a short script. The script does it's thing and then sends the posted
variables back to Domain A with
header("Location: http://www.domainA.com/folder/script.php";);
The problem is that the variables disappear at this point - after the domain B script
is run - and do not appear to go any further. I have tried this code, which works:
header("Location: http://www.domainA.com/folder/script.php?var1=foo&var2=bar";);
... but for security reasons I should not use the GET method for passing the
originally posted variables.
I do not want to stop the form post process, I just want to run my own script routine
and then continue with the original form request.
How do I accomplish the posting of variables from Domain A to Domain B and back again
to Domain A without reposting them in an additional form post submission?
Thanks!
Kind Regards,
Richard Creech

--- Begin Message ---I suggest using an external tool - using PHP would probably be too slow esp. if you're hitting 1000+ users. (Plus, I think you would have to run a lot of clearstatcache()'s which may cause all sorts of problems)... If you do an ls or dir or similar then you could parse the output, however there must be a decent tool out there somewhere that runs nice and fast.

--- Begin Message ---I'm sorry, but I won't be much help on the windows side of things, but for UNIX, the job is already done for you! There is a utility called 'du', which will tell you the disk usage of a file (or a folder and its contents). Specifically, you would want to use the -s flag to specify only to show the grand total, and not the size of each file... type 'du --help' or 'man du' at the command line to find out more. But an example: du -s -m /path/to/users/home/dir/ that will tell you in MB how much disk space they are using. Careful though, this is checking all their files recursively, so this can get cpu/hdd intense if you are using it for lots of users. My advice would be to run your script when there is a low load on the server. I hope that helps get you started.

hey... im tryint to lay some conditions for the html output... example :
if ($check == 1) {
<some html>
}
else {
<some other html>
}
The problem here is, I want the html in both cases to be customisable by the
user... so I would have to make it a part of the template file... and if i
do that, even if the conditions fail, the html will show up..any ideas on a
fix for this?

I'm not 100% certain I understand your Q. but how about this:
I take it from the subject you are using a PHPLib template so if you
were to have a teplate var called {htmlOutput} you could do this,
if($check=1) {
$htmlOutput=<<<EOF
<your html here>
EOF;
} elseif($check=2) {
$htmlOutput=<<<EOF
<your altenate html here>
EOF;
} else {
$htmlOutput=<<<EOF
<your default html here>
EOF;
}
and then in your template code.....
$t->set_var("htmlOutput", $htmlOutput);
Hope that's what you mean

Hi Nick,
I found the solution. Thanks for your reply though. Basically, what I wanted
to do was simple :
the admin of my program can decided wether they want a feature on or off.
Now, depending on that, a lil section of the html would change. Using
phplib, I have seperated all my html from the php. The problem comes up,
when the html changes dependin on wether the feature is on or off. How does
one alter the html content in the template file? one cant...
The solution I found is, add a open comment tag above and and close comment
tag under the dynamic html code... commenting it out depending on wether the
feature is on or off...simple eh? :)
Regards,
Kunal Jhunjhunwala

This funcion gets the date in the format you have and converts into a string the way
you want.
I hope this help.

Hi there!
Anybody knows a replacement for the built-in
getenv()-function since it's not supported when
running as an ISAPI-module under Internet
Information Server 5.0 on Windows 2000
Professional (well, at least according to the
manual).
I've created a small counter that looks up the
user's IP in a database in order to prevent
duplicate hits when user is reloding the page
and to track how many users are "currently
online".
Suggestions welcome....
BTW, this is the code I'm using now
(temporarily running the CGI version):
=== CUT HERE ===
// ...
// Get user's IP and user agent (-->>> problem arises here <<<--)
$ip = ip2long(($tmp = getenv("HTTP_X_FORWARD_FOR")) ? $tmp :
getenv("REMOTE_ADDR"));
// -->>> and here <<<--
$useragent = getenv("HTTP_USER_AGENT");
// Check if visit already counted
$id = 0;
$counted = false;
$r = mysql_query("SELECT visitor.id, visitor.ip, visitor.useragent,
visits.timestamp FROM visitor, visits WHERE visitor.id = visits.visitor_id
ORDER BY visitor.id DESC");
// ...
=== CUT HERE ===

Or do it all in one line:
$string = ereg_replace('[!@#$%^&*()_+=-';:"/.,<>?]', '', $string);
If you want to remove non-alphanumeric characters from a string, you can do:
$string = ereg_replace('[^[:alnum:]]', '', $string);
Perl-compatible regular expressions would work as well, and be
slightly faster. For more info, see:

Mike,
This can be a bit frustrating, but all in all it's not too bad. I usually
make up my own configuration file just to avoid re-typing everything,
because I generally don't get it right the first time. I then chmod +x them
so that they will execute. They're quite simple, just scripts that call
configure with all the various parameters.
I arrived at the choices below after reading the LAMP documents, the
"Soothingly Seamless Installation of Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP" and the
various configuration options for each of MySQL, PHP, PostgreSQL and Apache.
Before building from source I tried working with RPMs on my older Red Hat
systems, and with dselect on two Debian boxes. These are all well-debugged
software packages, and aside from taking some time to compile on the oldest
box, a P 133, everything went smoothly.
Here's the one for PostgreSQL, locating PostgreSQL in a very non-standard
location. Can't remember why I wanted w-odbc.
-------start of script ----------
#!/bin/sh
./configure \
--with-prefix=/drv2/bin/pgsql \
--with-odbc
---------- end of script --------
For Apache I wanted a whole bunch of stuff, thus "enable-shared=max". If I
remember correctly that let me load all the modules dynamically.
-------start of script ----------
#!/bin/sh
./configure \
--with-layout=Apache\
--prefix=/usr/local/apache \
--enable-shared=max
---------end of script -----------
And finally PHP. "with apxs" allows Apache to load PHP dynamically, and the
parameter has to be specific. "with-mysql" points to my non-standard
location of mysql, similarly I told it explicity where PostgreSQL was
installed.
------- start of script --------
#! /bin/sh
./configure \
--with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs \
--with-mysql=/drv2/bin/mysql \
--with-pgsql=/usr/local/pgsql \
--enable-track-vars
------------- end of script --------
Pay attention to the line in the PHP INSTALL doc refers to relocating
php-ini-dist (think that's the name) and to the changes you have to make to
Apache's httpd.conf file.
When all configuring, making and installing is done, you may get an error
from Apache that it can't find the .so modules for PostgreSQL (and in my
case, MySQL). If so, locate the modules and edit /etc/ld.so.conf, adding
the paths to these modules. On my system I added these two lines,
/usr/local/pgsql
/drv2/bin/mysql/lib/mysql
Save the file and run ldconfig. Apache should then run OK.
As to your question "Why doesn't PHP have support for PostgreSQL built in
..", have a look at all the different databases PHP supports and consider
how immense the program would be if everything was compiled in by default.
Hope this is helpful. If you have more problems, there is a php-install
list which deals with specific installation problems.
Regards - Miles Thompson
PS These 4 programs were my first experience building on Linux systems, and
initially it was a bit daunting. I hope you find this helpful. /mt

That is not viral enough because it is not smooth. When it is not smooth, not only it will propagate slowly but also it may stop propagating at all because word of mouth is not always convincing. To make it work smoothly it should not be hard to convince anybody that PHP is a good idea. > Your point earlier, if statistics say x million dynamic web sites are held together >by PHP, IT managers/decision > makers tend to feel they should take notice, eg Apache and the Netcraft surveys. The >same will apply to PHP, > numbers need to build to some 'critical mass' for corporate credibility to follow >(as wrong as that sounds). Yes, but you only establish credibility when you manage to put your arguments in favour of PHP in the mouths of opinion makers. Statistics of PHP usage in the PHP site will never be credible enough. It is like when parents tell everybody how smart their kids are, see what I mean? > How to get PHP into the institutions?

You can only demonstrate there is demand for teaching if you spread that there is demand for qualified professionals. The PHP situation could be improved if there was an officially certificated training, like some Linux distributions have and even MySQL. The effect of spreading about official certification is that it passes a good impression to those that are not aware that Linux and MySQL is something being taken seriously to the point of having official certifications like for certified Microsoft and Sun Java trainings.

I'm now using $S_REQUEST to pass things on a win32 with apache and
php4.1. In touching stuff up on the isp however, things are
incompatible. I have gone to using $HTTP_POST_VAR, etc. instead, so
when the isp goes to 4.1 we only need to replace them with $_REQUEST.
Is that the way to go?
Now a new thing. I have gotten to this point where everything is on
the page but it doesn't open the file. Is there some more conversion
needed re 4.1? It would be nice to know just yes or no. tks...
$textfile = fopen($filename,'w');
if(!($textfile))
{
print("The File could not be opened.");
exit;
}
if($text > "") // write a line to the file

fputs($textfile, (stripslashes($text)));

Has anyone >else > out there feeling the pressure of going to the win32 side to pay the bills. > Thoughts? Since the massive bankrupcy of many Internet companies, LAMP is no longer so much on demand. What happened is that most of those companies were technologically aware of the choices and were choosing LAMP products because they have proven suitability for Internet development and besides that they are inexpensive. Many of the technology dependent companies that survived do not depend on the Internet. Often Web development is for internal consumption. Many of those companies used Microsoft products. People in charge of those companies often only know about Microsoft's and other comercial products that are well marketed. So, it is very hard to penetrate in those companies with LAMP products. There are certainly a reasonable number of companies that use LAMP products, but they do it mostly for economical reasons. Therefore they don't have a great budget to pay good salaries either. For bigger companies, one of the main limitations of PHP and other Open Source products is that, unlike commercial competitor products, they do not add as much business value to somebody selling PHP solutions because PHP costs nothing so there is no profit margin to earn by the people that want to sell it even as a part of something else. PHP needs to be better marketed or else it will fade from the well paid job world. As I said, Java jobs are much more well paid, not only because Java is harder to program and requires better prepared developers, but also because Sun marketed Java so well that it was created a demand for Java projects that nobody from the PHP world is doing anything like that. Despite PHP can be used for more than just Web applications, many PHP developers are not making an effort to advertise it for more than just Web development. This needs to be changed, because the world has changed and those that don't adapt will not survive. Java was also advertised initially for browser applets but Sun had to adapt the strategy to the needs of the real world, they advertised and made it suitable for mobile computing, server side Web scripting and Web services. Mobile computing is a closed market. Server side scripting is the only thing that PHP is advertised for but its position is seriously threatned. Web services, PHP is not yet quite there nor there is a perspective if and when it will ever be. I don't want to be pessimistic, but in a couple of weeks .NET will be officially released as the big thing that Microsoft will make it echo everywhere with their raw marketing power. ASP.NET is catching up on the huge delay that it used to had compared to PHP and other alternatives. Web Services will be even more hyped than today. Microsoft will try to make it evident that .NET is the most profitable way to make money from Web development but only using .NET. It does not matter how much of that will be effectively true. What matters is many people that today still fall for LAMP/WAMP will reconsider and move to .NET world because they will be convinced that is where they can make money unlike with LAMP. So, what do you do? For now, I just advise you to stay where you are if you can live from what you are doing because we have to see how much of this will become true. Anyway, I am afraid that part of it will become true as advertised. If you want to stick with LAMP/WAMP, you'd better check it out to see if you can developed what will be in demand. Here some buzzwords to pay more attention: Web services, SOAP, WSDL, UDDI. Regards, Manuel Lemos--- End Message ---
--- Begin Message ---Hi everyone! I'm trying to put file names into variables which later I put into my DB (MySQL) as text (only the filename and the extension). I tried to use the upload format form before: <form ENCTYPE=\"multipart/form-data\" ...> .... <input type = FILE name =\"file_name\"....> ..... When I retrived the value of the variables, I did not get the FILE NAME and the file extension. What I got is all the path of the file and the file name changed into .TMP or some sort. How do I retrived file names and it's extension in this situation? note: The original file extensions that I want to get are mostly .jpg or .gif. thanks for reviewing my email. regards, Dani--- End Message ---

I've designed an architecture in PHP which is dependent on a class hierarchy
which has a parent class with a member variable which is a child object.
That child object contains a reference back to the parent. The problem I'm
running into is changes to the parent's member variables are not reflected
in the child's reference to the parent. Let me use a code example to
illustrate my point.
Class Parent {
var $sTest = "apple";
var $pChild;
function Parent() {
$this->pChild = new Child();
$this->pChild->SetParent($this);
}
}
Class Child {
var $pParent;
function SetParent(&$pParent) {
$this->pParent = &$pParent;
}
function PrintParentData() {
echo "Parents Test data: ".$this->pParent->sTest."<Br>\n";
}
}
$pParent = new Parent();
$pParent->sTest = "orange";
echo "pParent->sTest = ".$pParent->sTest."<br>\n";
$pParent->pChild->PrintParentData();
// Prints:
// pParent->sTest = orange
// Parents Test data: apple
// Instead of :
// pParent->sTest = orange
// Parents Test data: orange
I've also tried changing the first line of the Parent constructor to :
$this->pChild = & new Child();
I think I've coded this correctly as per the docs on references. I'm using
PHP4.1.1. My conclusions are :
1. This is not possible in PHP due to safety mechanisms built into the
language to safeguard against circular references (and infinite recursion).
2. I'm doing something wrong.
Thanks to anyone willing to take a stab...
