Hello NG,
sessions are usually stored in files on disk or directly in a database.
However when not only reading these sessions but also writing to them
extensively, it might be unseful to store these sessions directly in memory.
Rumors say, this is possible via "shared memory functions" which sounds
interesting to me. But HOW does it work ?

nice workaround ;-)
but how about this:
save your rtf-file and use it as a "template" with unique "place-holders"
(e.g. your rtf-part %yourUniqueDateField% next rtf-part). use preg-replace()
and replace your "place-holders" with your content. save your copy or mail
it.

hi everybody,
i'am have problem about php send mail function, how can i send
extra header with it's. I'am crazy now because I can send it by using users
defined variable , but when I've send it with a html form, it's don't work at
all by use $_POST variable
please help me,
thanks you,

i don't really understand your question.
for the extended headers in mail use something like this:
$to = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]";
$subject = "some subject";
$header = "content-type: text/html; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"\n".
"from: \"[EMAIL PROTECTED]"\n";
$message = "some message";
if (mail($to, $subject, $message, $header))
{
echo "message sent";
}
else
{
echo "error, not sent";
}
but if you have problems with $_POST, maybe some code (your form and your script)
could help.

The question mark ("?") after the ULR indicates a GET of variables. In HTTP
(Hyper Text Transfer Protocol) these variables can be extracted from HTTP
package, and used by the server (HTML is wrapped in an HTTP package). It
is then server (read: implementation) dependent what happens with these
variables, however the page which is referred should always be able to
access these variables by means of the scripting language used.
You can read more about FORM's and POST in the HTML specifications found at
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/interact/forms.html
For instance, by following the links a bit you will end up with this information:
" If the method is "get" and the action is an HTTP URI, the user agent takes the value
of action, appends a `?' to it, then appends the form data set, encoded using the
"application/x-www-form-urlencoded" content type. The user agent then traverses the
link to this URI. In this scenario, form data are restricted to ASCII codes.
If the method is "post" and the action is an HTTP URI, the user agent conducts an
HTTP "post" transaction using the value of the action attribute and a message created
according to the content type specified by the enctype attribute. "
in general you will find any thing you need at www.w3.org, and in particular
you will find all information about specifications of HTML (version 4.01) you
ever will need at:
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/
It might be tricky initially to understand the way they write these documentation,
but it's well worth spending time in learning to read it, because you will never be
able to find any more reliable first hand information than provided by www.w3.org.

it seems in your php.ini you activated
error_reporting = E_ALL.
so also notices like yours are reported. either disable this in php.ini like
that:
error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE
or correct your script as the notices say:
- seems you used $array[s_UID] instead of correct $array['s_UID']
- and you used a var $s_UserInfo that you didn't define before, add
$s_UserInfo = 0 or $s_UserInfo = "" or similar.

your vars you want to send to your next page are stored in these arrays.
so if you POSTed a form with $name and $email use $_POST['name'] or
$HTTP_POST_VARS['email'] in your script instead of the awaited $name and
$email.

Undefined index is an error generated due to something trying to access a
value in an array that doesn't exist. That array can be the form elements
array. You should check all values with the " !isset " function to see if
they exist before trying to access them in case the user did not enter a
value that you are expecting to be there.

Toby, $_POST should exist even if register globals are on! Thats why I said
it would probably be nothing to do with it.

Toby,
If you write
$tireqty = $_POST['tireqty']
you're telling PHP that the calling script is sending a variable called
'tireqty'.
Since on your case the name of the value and of the POST are the same, I
mean that if you write
$AFTER_POST = $_POST['VALUE_PASSED']
you will set a variable called $AFTER_POST to the value given by the calling
form through the field named 'VALUE_PASSED'
Otherwise, you trying to get the value of a POST that never was.
Check the names of the fields on the form, and as someone said, use 'isset'
to see if something actually went trough
Sorry to be so thorough, but it's just to be as clear as I can
Luis

Try this. Please note that on windows you *cannot* raise a http auth box
this way (PHP_AUTH_USER is not defined for Apache on windows), so you will
need to use this on your live unix Apache/PHP server :
function getUserAuthPW() {
// If present, set user Authenticate Password box values
global $_SERVER;
if (isset($_SERVER["PHP_AUTH_USER"])) {
$username=safestring($_SERVER["PHP_AUTH_USER"]);
$password=safestring($_SERVER["PHP_AUTH_PW"]);
return true;
} else {
header("WWW-Authenticate: Basic
realm=\"CaptionKit\"");
header("HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized");
echo "You must enter a valid login ID and password
to access this resource\n";
exit;
}
}
What this does is to check for PHP_AUTH_USER and if it's not defined,
raises a 401 error. The client interprets this as a request to enter user
name & password, and brings up the grey box you see using .htaccess /
.htpasswd files. The function safestring just adds slashes if there are
characters which need escaping for your database (some people might just
'addslashes()' but I do a little more first, like trim and htmlspecialchars).

I bought a book on PHP, and in one of the examples it declares a variable
without assigning it a variable, then it uses the gettype() method to show
that the result would be "NULL". Well, when I test the script I get the
following error:
Notice: Undefined variable: testing in C:\Program Files\Apache
Group\Apache2\htdocs\test.php on line 7
A few months ago I remember that the script would run without a problem (I
had to stop reading it and I picked it up again), but now it seems that I
have to assing a value to variables before I can use them. Is this a change
from a recent PHP update? I looked at their update section but I can't find
anything that says this is something new. Or is this something that I have
to set in php.ini?
Thanks for your help
George

It's your PHP.ini... You must set error_reporting to like E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE
or something like that... You might also want to check register_globals,
most likely you want this to be On instead of Off which is default...

Both of these are very bad advice. Why not fix the code instead of
relying on bad and deprecated functionality?

The 'installshield' distribution installs the cgi version of php along with a
php.ini file which is exactly the same as the php.ini-dist which comes with
the zip distribution with the following settings edited to the values set up
by your progress through the wizard:
SMTP
sendmail_from
upload_tmp_dir
session.save_path
error_reporting
cgi.force_redirect
As mentioned, this may be fine for a test setup - but for a production setup
you are quite likely to want the extra performance you would get from a sapi
installation and you may well need some extension modules which are only
shipped with the zip distribution. With either distribution, if you are going
to expose your system to the internet, you need to very carefully evaluate
many security issues - the settings in php.ini being only a very small part
of the whole picture.
My own personal journey in this regard was to abandon the Windows platform, as
I didn't think it was possible for me to learn enough to make and keep a
Windows box secure :)

Hi Phil
Thanks for the info.
The thing is i have already installed using the installshield on a number of
online servers and this all works perfectly fine.
It appears i do not need any of the extra extension modules which are only
installed with the zip version because everything is working ok using the
installsheild version.
My only concern is any security issue. I'm still unsure exactly what
security issue people are reffering to.
i.e. what are the consequences of using the installshield in real terms.

Exactly the same as using the zip distribution and installing php.ini-dist.
Securing your Windows web server is a huge issue - the php.ini settings really
are just a tiny part of the picture which includes:
making sure your web server is patched to the hilt
making sure your web server is configured securely
making sure your os is patched to the hilt
making sure you are running no unnecessary services
making sure your own php scripts are secure and that unexpected input can't
give attackers access to things you don't want them to access
making sure that you trust no input whatsoever from the internet
making sure your windows server is sat behind an industral strength firewall
which is fowarding probably only port 80 requests to your windows machine
If you don't feel you've already spent hundred of hours on the above, and you
have a good grasp of what you need to do, then you've already been cracked
and you just don't know it :)
I suspect google is your best bet for advice on all of the above.
Cheers

Its a feature of IE. It stops you going backwards to a page which was
generated when you sent form data to it. There is no way around this, so you
will need to find a way around your problem (A manual "<-- Go Back" link
perhaps?)

thanks for the reply.

yep, it was set to 'off' so I've changed all the includes now so that they
look like this:
<?php
include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . "/include/header.htm");
?>
again, they work fine on the live site but still not locally :(

well, here's the page I put up live:
http://www.curve-online.co.uk/test.php
I notice the live version of PHP is version 4.1.2. I'm running 4.2.3
locally. Could this make a difference?

erm, the live one is set to " .: "
I tried adding it to the local include_path (on C:/windows/php.ini) so that
it said
" . ; .: ;C:/phpdev/php/includes;C:/phpdev/php/class "
but still no joy - this is driving me really barmy now. Am I still missing
something?
