You can use in_array (http://www.php.net/function.in_array) for this.

If you have setup your printer with lpr then you can send print jobs
with PHP via lpr (using command line execution) to the printer.
You should be able to use other print systems that offer command line
printing as well.
Look at the PHP process execution functions for actually executing the
print command.

Hi Aaron,
I noticed several things, first you are fetching your database row into
$rows but you are referencing the data in $row, and second you do not
have a $ in front of your $row variable name, in order to get the
contents of a variable you must use $variable.
I've included modified code to demonstrate.
Jason
while ($rows=mysql_fetch_array($mysql_result)) {
$ID=row['ID'];
# this is line 30
$first_name=row['first_name'];
$surname=row['surname'];
$email=row['email'];
$comments=row['comments'];
needs to be
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($mysql_result)) {
$ID=$row['ID']; # this is
line 30
$first_name=$row['first_name'];
$surname=$row['surname'];
$email=$row['email'];
$comments=$row['comments'];

changed $rows to $row on line 29
added variable identifier $ to 'row' variables on others.

I'm trying to use cookies in PHP4 (.whatever the latest release is). I want
to use them for validation (ensuring a user has logged in) but all I can find
is setcookie, which seems only to create the cookie. In trying to use PHP
sessions, I end up with odd errors.
When I try to use sessions I get the error message the header has already been
sent. I've pasted them below (I was getting different errors before I moved
the code before the < html > tag).
Warning: Cannot send session cookie - headers already sent by (output started
at /home/allan/public_html/sestest2.php:10) in
/home/allan/public_html/verifysession.php on line 6
Warning: Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output
started at /home/allan/public_html/sestest2.php:10) in
/home/allan/public_html/verifysession.php on line 6
My Questions:
If I create a cookie with set_cookie how do I read it/check it?
How do I use sessions if they can't be sent in the code?
What use are sessions if I can only mess with them in one place? What if I
need to do some processing first to decide what to do with them?
Any insight is welcome.

$_COOKIE superglobal array.
How do I use sessions if they can't be sent in the code?
The session_start function has to be at the VERY top of the of the code,
below ANY output (even blank spaces and new lines).
What use are sessions if I can only mess with them in one place? What if I
need to do some processing first to decide what to do with them?
You can use them anywhere in your code, but the session_start function
has to be before any output (the rest can be anywhere).

Well, that is natural - cookies can only be set before any output is
produced by the script. And since sessions in this case use cookies, it
follows that sessions can also be started before any output is produced.
Why is that? Because cookies are transmitted by means of http headers, and
http headers precede any content.
The approach I find works extremely well is using some kind of design of the
scripts, such that the script does some "analysis" of the situation at the
very beginning, processes, saves/loads any data and only then proceeds to
display the results.
Otherwise, you might want to use buffering. See manual for ob_start():
----
This function will turn output buffering on. While output buffering is
active no output is sent from the script (other than headers), instead the
output is stored in an internal buffer.
---
So you can use it at the beginning of your scripts.
Also, see the config file, php.ini, there is a directive that allows you to
enable it globally without modifying scripts:
---
; Output buffering allows you to send header lines (including cookies) even
; after you send body content, at the price of slowing PHP's output layer a
; bit. You can enable output buffering during runtime by calling the output
; buffering functions. You can also enable output buffering for all files
by
; setting this directive to On. If you wish to limit the size of the buffer
; to a certain size - you can use a maximum number of bytes instead of 'On',
as
; a value for this directive (e.g., output_buffering=4096).
output_buffering = On

session_start() must be before <html>. Solve those problems first because
sessions are going to be a better solution than a cookie.
> My Questions:
> If I create a cookie with set_cookie how do I read it/check it?
Whatever you name the cookie, say 'MyCookie', on the following pages from
where you set it, you'll have a $_COOKIE['MyCookie'] variable with it's
value. Use that variable just like you would any other.
> How do I use sessions if they can't be sent in the code?
They must be started before output. You can use the values within your code
and set/change values within your code.

I

No problem, see above.

With TemplateTamer, you mark every item that needs to be translated as
{#WORDKEY}, and the framework will do a call back to your page class to get
a correct translation for the WORDKEY, and substitue translation in the
output. In your app you can then detect the current language setting, and
return appropriate translation.

Well, if you did not know, NetWare is an operating system brought out
by Novell. We are working on porting PHP onto NetWare. In fact, we
already have ported PHP 4.2.3 onto NetWare and we have synched up our
souces for the 4.3 branch.
Thanks,
Ananth.

No. Only sessions, if you use them. Sessions have their own unique IDs
and are stored in a certain directory by default. A database solution
can also be implemented.

There is no login to the Unix / Linux. You might write one on your
own,
if you wish, but that would be your thing. PHP as it is, logs nobody
to
the Linux, it runs everybody's request as Apache's user.

Whatever inputted to the broswer, is send to your script. Stays up to
you to decide what to do with the user/pass. Basically, you would
usually store the credentials in a database and then authenticate the
users against the database, not Linux Shell itself.
> Since I am a newbie, I may have misunderstood some concepts here.
Most of them. PHP is a programming language, not a shell interface or
something. Stays up to you what to do once user runs your PHP script.

Well, I first posted this query on this list. But seeing no response, I
thought probably it should have gone into PHP-dev list. When I posted
there, I was discouraged to post such mails there. So, I came back to
the general list.
Thanks,
Ananth.

Ananth,
For starters, you are probably on the wrong list - the PHP developers
list
is probably where you should be asking this question.
Second, PHP runs through the web server, so the user is the same user
the
web server, usually "nobody", although that depends on the how the web
server is installed. No one is encouraged to all access to the
underlying
system through the web server, although the exec() function allows
execution of some commands.
I can't help you much more than that, and I believe the other list will
be
more fruitful.
Regards - Miles Thompson

Interesting. Are you working with the php-dev team or on your own?

If you don't have too many of these something.php files then you can just use
symlinks:
ln -s something.php something
Otherwise you can use Apache's rewrite directive, or you can set Apache to
interpret ALL files as PHP.

Okay, so I want to open a file, get a small number from it (less than 3
digits) then overwrite a new number (incremented the original by 1) and
close the file.
The goal is to do this in the fastest way possible .. it seems that there
should be a way of doing this without having to open and close the file
twice.
I've tried:
$cfile = fopen("lcnt.txt", 'r+');
$lcnt = fgets($cfile,10);
This results in $lcnt having a value of 1 (loaded from value within text
file)
Now, if I increment it:
$nc = $lcnt+1;
then write it back to the file:
$nul = fwrite($cfile, $nc);
It writes starting at where the last read left off -- I want to start at
zero offset so to overwrite the existing value. I can't find a method for
resetting the offset pointer without having to close the file and reopen it
with w+
There must be a simpler way to do this ...

Hi,
i've written a secure PHP login script which will allow users to login to a
directory such as this:
smezone.com/members/index.php
however, how do I restrict people from accessing HTML files in that
directory (which they can easily do so by typing the URL into their
browser), such as:
smezone.com/members/document1.html
?
Since its a regular HTML files (and we have lots), I can't check whether the
user has a valid session as I would do in a PHP file.
Thanks for any help!

Hello!
Using the following script I try to get a html-page gzip-compressed, and
uncompress the body of the HTTP-message.
<?php
define(CRLF,"\xD\xA");
$host = "selfforum.teamone.de";
$path = "/";
$fp = fsockopen($host, 80);
$header = "GET ".$path." HTTP/1.0".CRLF;
$header .= "Accept-Encoding: gzip".CRLF;
$header .= "Host: ".$host.CRLF;
$header .= CRLF;
fputs($fp, $header);
while(!feof($fp)) {
$result .= fread($fp,1);
}
fclose($fp);
$compressed_result = explode(CRLF.CRLF, $result, 2);
echo "length: " strlen($compressed_result[1])."\n"; // length of compressed
message
// without header, to
compare
// with content-length
header
echo gzuncompress($compressed_result[1]);
?>
I get the following error:
Warning: gzuncompress: data error in /www/webseite/temp/sock2.php on line 32
Line 32: echo gzuncompress($compressed_result[1]);
>From server I get HTTP-response "contend-encoding: gzip", HTTP-Statuscode
"200",
the content-length in HTTP header is the same as my own echo "length: "
strlen($compressed_result[1]).";
$compressed_result[1] contains binary data, no plain-text.
gzcompress and gzuncompress usually work without problems in.
Server-OS: Linux 2.4
Webserver: Apache 1.3.26
PHP 4.2.3.(CGI)
Perhaps there are some charakters form binary gzip-code interpretet as
functional character, could I escape something here? Or some problems with
line-breaks, or blanks? I have no idea whats going wrong here. I hope
someone here knows what to do or where to look for errors!
Thank you,
Andreas

i agree with the suggestion, but maybe (this may be a stupid newbie

$image_array = array_push(array("$file_name"=>"$image_url"));

Please read the manual. array_push() does NOT work like that.

No. In my case it's absolutely senseless to define doc_root in php.ini
since there are many virtual servers in httpd.conf, each with its own root.
It's also the reason why I don't want Apache to get a working dir from
the environment. So '.' and '..' don't mean anything either (for opening
files), but that seems OK to me. Maybe your server got a working dir
from its parent shell, so '.', '..', getcwd() and `pwd` work for you.
I didn't mention that I'm not the PHP programmer, but the Apache/PHP
manager, and this is a problem encountered by the webmaster of one of
the virtual servers when testing PHP 4.3.0. Their PHP application has
several include directories and many include()s within included files.
It's the reason why I'm looking for a way of getting their script
working properly with as few modification as possible (I can modify
php.ini or the server config).
if a file is parsed, all include files a relativ to this parsed file.
This seems true for 4.3.0, false for 4.2.1 (it's relative to the main
script PHP_SELF).
PHP_SELF /phpinfo.php
I have printed PHP_SELF from within testinclude.php and inc1.php. In
both cases, it's "/tests/testinclude.php"
echo exec('ls');
should print out not a empty string but
testinclude.php
and
echo exec('pwd');
should print "/usr/local/www/htdocs/tests"
Only if the server gets a working dir, which is not my case (ls and pwd
return nothing, which is normal IMHO). Webmasters can't set it with
chdir() since setting environment variables other than PHP_* is
forbidden in the recommended php.ini for security reason.

How can I do this? I looked last night at the onunload javascript event but

How can I get the value of an javascript string and pass it to a php variable?

<script>

Well as you know, but just as a reminder, when you make a page with both
php and javascript in it, the PHP code is executed on the server and then
the resulting html plus javascript is send to the user, and the browser
executes the javascript.
So it is easy to fill in PHP-made variables into the javascript,
e.g.
<?PHP
$phpvar=3+8+31;
?>
<script language="javascript">
theanswer = <?PHP echo $phpvar; ?>
</script>
But to give javascript results to PHP you have to give it back to another
PHP page.
I can think of three ways:
- write a cookie with javascript and have the next page read the cookie
with PHP
- set a form element's value with javascript
(document.formname.elementname.value=(6*7)) then submit the form
(document.formname.submit()), In the following php page read
$_POST['elementname'] (PHP>=4.10)
- build the variable into the URL like
window.location.href='http://www.mysite.org/nextpage.php?variable1=' +
(50-8) +'&variable2='+theanswer . in the nextpage read $_GET['variable1'] and 2
In all cases make sure that you are very careful with inserting the result
in SQL queries or to include files. Imagine that [your favourite enemy]
tries to add some sql code or include a selfchosen file from the server.

One simple way is with cron and a web page using lynx like this:
00 00 * * * /usr/bin/lynx -dump http://domain.com/countdown.php 1> /dev/null 2>
/dev/null
(-dump tells lynx to read the url, dump the page out and exit)
