Re: [PHP] Fatal Execution Error

[Aral Balkan]

Are you doing a database query by chance or anything with sessions? I'm
getting the same errors logged in the Apache logs for something I'm working
on (see my previous posts for details.)

[PHP] accessing files not in www root directory.

[Sterling Anderson]

Hi,
I am trying to write a page that will perform a select on a DB and get the
path and file name of an image. Then display the image.
The DB part if fine but I am having difficulty figuring out how to get the
images to display. For example:

result from select:
$file_path = "/home/pics/friends/"
$file_name = "bob.jpg"

Now, say my web root directory is "/etc/http/wwwroot"

How do I create a link to my file "/home/pics/friends/bob.jpg"?
I tried symlink() but the link created appears to hang around after it is no
longer needed.

By the way, this is a Linux server running Apache.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Sterling Anderson

[PHP] Page not found for MSIE in SSL mode

[Fikko Adhipranta]

I am using MSIE 5.5, with web-hosting apache. When
do the secure connection SSL, sometime, it displays:
Page Not Found. I find out it happens because MSIE
doesn't kill the secured connection. (I refer to the
documentation:
http://www.modssl.org/docs/2.6/ssl_faq.html#ToC48

The web-hosting refushed to change the directive in
apache.

Can I do it in PHP level?


Thanks in advance.

[PHP] Fatal Execution Error

[Chris Cameron]

I'm getting quite the whacked out error when trying to run this one php
file.

FATAL:  erealloc():  Unable to allocate 15728640 bytes

When trying to load it as a webpage I get:

Alert!: Unexpected network read error; connection aborted.

from lynx. When running the file from the command line with php, I get the
first error.

Any ideas? At all?

Thanks,
Chris

Not at all.  That's why I asked if any one had experience with
experthost.com, bad or good.  I do want to know about the service before
signing up.

So far almost everyone that has responded has been promoting their own
hosting service though, so I still don't know for sure what sort of
service levels they have.


Sure, price is a key factor (why pay double or tripple for a simular
service?), but end of the day, if it doesn't work, it's a waste of money.

Re: [PHP] Time out Errors?

[Aral Balkan]

I've been having the same problem with Apache 1.3.19 / PHP 4.0.5 running on
WinMe -- and not just with my scripts either: phpMyAdmin does it sometimes
too. So, I reckon that the problem is with the configuration.

Has anyone experienced this on Win2000? (I'm in the process of moving my
files to a Win2000 box so I'll you know when I do if the problem repeats.)

Re: [PHP] Cookie ?

[Jon Yaggie]

i had this problem a while back.  the problem with this is cookies work by
the users time not the servers time.  so if the server is in america and my
computer is on japanese time even a cookie set for time()+18000 will be
valid because my computer is actually +50400 for a server in EST.   i have
have worked with two alternatives here.  one set another cookie that holds a
timestamp of the time you want the other cookie to expire and then compare
server time and the expiration cookie.  or do the same thing basically b ut
use a variable set in a session.

I wanted to do something like set the cookie for 5 minutes, then as the

Any Ideas on how I can accomplish this ??

[PHP] GMT Time and Setting Cookies in PHP

What's a good method for setting time in GMT? as in the expiration date for
cookies? I saw two functions to do this with, but I haven't been able to get
them to output anything properly.

Re: [PHP] emalloc / erealloc problem (was: help with custom session handler)

[Aral Balkan]

Well finally I am 99.9% sure that the problem is with Metabase. I've managed
to bring the code down to the absolute minimum to simplify things and I can
now state the bug clearly:

On Pentium III 500Mhz running WinMe, Apache 1.3.19 and PHP 4.0.5, use of
Metabase calls in custom session handler to update a MySQL database randomly
crash Apache with (again, randomly) errors in either PHP4TS.DLL or
MSVCRT.DLL.

When Apache does not crash, the code does work (I tested this with a simple
variable increment).

When the Metabase session handler is replaced with one using MySQL calls,
the problem goes away.

Entries noticed in Apache's error.log that may be related are:
FATAL:  emalloc():  Unable to allocate 1701082243 bytes
FATAL:  erealloc():  Unable to allocate 369098752 bytes

I've already written to Manuel about this and I'm sure he'll have the
problem figured out in no time but in the meanwhile, I'm posting my code
here so that this post may benefit others trying to do this in the future
(and with the hope that maybe someone can discover something that *I'm*
doing wrong that could be causing all this!)

[PHP] Time out Errors?

[Chris Anderson]

I have mayn scripts on a website that use MySQL connections for various tasks. 
Strangely sometimes a task will hit the timeout (30 sec), then work perfectly when I 
refresh. Or even work perfectly other times. I'm using Apache on Windows 98 and I'd 
never had this bug before. Would it be because I connect to MySQL so much? Should I 
use mysql_pconnect instead of normal connect to alleviate this? Any help would be 
appreciated

Re: [PHP] emalloc / erealloc problem (was: help with custom session handler)

[Aral Balkan]

Rasmus,

When I try it with the MySQL handler you provided everything goes well -- no
errors. I guess I was hoping that the problem was with some php.ini setting
or something and not with Metabase as I'm dreading going into all code but
alas, I guess I must.

Do you have any idea what sort of database query could cause a memory leak
like that? Could it have anything to do with the serialized data being
written to the database having a '|' character and that character somehow
being interpretted as a concatenation character in a Metabase function?

I'm going to look into this and let you know if I find a solution (I really
hope I do as my thesis pretty much depends on it!)

Thanks again for all your help,

Aral :)

[PHP] caching

[Jon Yaggie]

Ok I am dynamically creating images.  my problem is my browser is caching the images

to stop this.  i have tried using the header Cache-Control: no-cahe  However it seems 
to have no helped.  maybe i am using it wrongly?  is there another method i can clear

Jeff,

I am not extremely fimilar with this function.  However, I did notice you are copying 
your image at a width and height of 1x1.   this is my guess as far as i know by 
default this pixels.  so the likehood you would see an image copied at 1x1 is rather 
low.  

but perhaps i am complete wrong . . .let us know.






Ok, I have tried Experts Exchange, Devshed, and even posted on here asking.
Does anyone know how to use the image generation?

I looked for a good site on it but found nothing...

My problem.

I am creating an image on the fly based on newest entries in one my mySQL
tables.  In this created image I am trying to add a small one to it.  Now I
am TRYING to use the below code:

$image = ImageCreate(500, 70);
$bg = ImageColorAllocate($image, 255, 255, 255);
$blue = ImageColorAllocate($image, 0, 0, 255);
$black = ImageColorAllocate($image, 0, 0, 0);
$himage= "usr/hyrum/public_html/images/topics/hyrum.gif";
ImageRectangle($image, 0, 0, 500, 70, $white);
ImageString($image, 4, 0, 0, $text, $blue);

//ImageCopy($image, $himage, 400, 20, 1, 1, 60, 60)

Imagepng($image, "signature.png");
ImageDestroy($image);

Am I using ImageCopy incorrectly?  It doesn't put anything in the new image.

No, this is what I was trying to make sure people realized.  It is only ok
if this happens over SSL and there is no chance that someone else can

Well, the lists were on my personal DSL connection for a while.  The
bandwidth requirements were too high.  Sorry to drive you crazy.  The
lists should be quite a bit quicker now.

As for your problem.  Try to narrow down exactly where it might be
happening.  For example, try eliminating the MetaBase part and use a
generic mysql session save handler like the following:



The schema for this handler is:

CREATE TABLE sessions (
  id char(32) NOT NULL,
  data text,
  ts timestamp,
  PRIMARY KEY (id)
)

Does it still leak with this handler?  If not, if it does let us know.  If
it doesn't, then it must be somewhere in the Metabase code.

[PHP] emalloc / erealloc problem (was: help with custom session handler)

ok, I found what's making Apache crash... my getting entries like:

FATAL:  emalloc():  Unable to allocate 1701082243 bytes
FATAL:  erealloc():  Unable to allocate 369098752 bytes

in the log. Somehow when I query the database it must be trying to
allocate -- unless my eyes deceive me -- ~1.6 GBs of memory in the first
entry and ~350 Megs in the second.

What could be causing this???

As I mentioned earlier, I have a custom session handler set up that uses
Manuel Lemos' Metabase library to save the session to a database (of the
supported ones, I'm using mySQL.)

I hope this message makes it to the list in a day or so (I really don't

Just move the script outside the web root.  Browsers can't directly

hi everyone,

group/world readable?
I can read other users' php source code by writing a simple php script.
I do not prefer to run php as cgi because all user's php file need to
add the header
#/usr/bin/php again.

Re: [PHP] newbie has include path error

[Justin French]

Hi,

If you can "surf" local host for standard HTML pages and other php pages
(without includes in them) eg:

http://localhost/file.html

Then the problem isn't the server really, it seems to me that the server
document root for your files should be something like:

/usr/local/apache/ not /etc/httpd/php/prepend.php

Can you ftp into your server?  What's the path to your document root for
all your html / php files?  I doubt it's /etc/httpd/php/file.html, if it
isn't this, then the problem is somewhere in your php cnfig to indicate
where the document root is.

Eh, it's kidna hard to explain...  maybe someone else can explain it
better :)

Re: [PHP] reading records alphebetically

[Jack Sasportas]

Since you only have a few records, creating a second index with the first
letter doesn't apply to you, but is a good idea in a huge db scheme.

The simplest & fastest way is to take the suggestions a few people made which
is
SELECT * FROM
table WHERE name LIKE '$letter%'

I would not suggest this
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM table order by name");
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))  {
  extract($row);
   $first_letter = strtolower($name[0]);
 }

NOT that it won't work, but you should consider CPU in your design, and you
don't want to make the computer go through all the records sequentially to
display the valid records.  This would take a lot longer to deliver the results
in a large file, and would consume more resources...

Jack

RE: [PHP] reading records alphebetically

If you are planning to have a lot of records, you may want to create a
column with just that letter and index it, followed by the full name.

SELECT name from Table
WHERE first_letter = "$letter"
ORDER by name

should produce pretty fast results if "first_letter, name" is indexed.

RE: [PHP] Telnet and PHP

By "active user input", I would assume that you mean every time the user
makes a keystroke, the keystroke is sent to the host machine.  This is not a
characteristic of html which only sends information to the host machine when
some form of submit is clicked.  The advantage of the applet for this sort
of thing is it runs on the browser client, and has the capability of sending
every keystroke directly to the host, bypassing the server side.

On the server side, once the (PHP) application is done sending the requested
files to the web browser for one user, it moves on to handling the requests
for other users.  Can you imagine the load on a server if it had to reload
your application every time, your user pressed a key.

You never really made it clear where you expected this client to run,
although PHP, at this point, can only run on the server.  Now if you are
looking for something that your PHP code could use to 1. signon to a host
somewhere, 2. execute some commands, 3. capture and process the results and
4. disconnect before completing a single page to a web browser client (it

Re: [PHP] reading records alphebetically

[Ethan Schroeder]

You can either select the letter you want through mysql with "SELECT * FROM
table WHERE name LIKE '$letter%'

Or you can select everything:
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM table order by name");
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))  {
  extract($row);
   $first_letter = strtolower($name[0]);
 }

lets say
$name = "Fred";
then
$name[0]  is set to "F";
$name[1] is set to "r";
$name[2]  is set to"e";
and so on...

I am creating an image on the fly based on newest entries in one my mySQL

am TRYING to use the below code:

$image = ImageCreate(500, 70);
$bg = ImageColorAllocate($image, 255, 255, 255);
$blue = ImageColorAllocate($image, 0, 0, 255);
$black = ImageColorAllocate($image, 0, 0, 0);
$himage= "usr/hyrum/public_html/images/topics/hyrum.gif";
ImageRectangle($image, 0, 0, 500, 70, $white);
ImageString($image, 4, 0, 0, $text, $blue);
ImageString($image, 3, 0, 20, $title1, $black);
ImageString($image, 3, 0, 35, $title2, $black);
ImageString($image, 3, 0, 50, $title3, $black);
//ImageCopy($image, $himage, 400, 20, 1, 1, 60, 60)

Imagepng($image, "signature.png");
ImageDestroy($image);

Am I using ImageCopy incorrectly?  It doesn't put anything in the new image.

Re: [PHP] Auto submit form

David wrote:

Everything to do with forms is either to do with hitting a submit button
(call to a server) or without (which means that the browser/client is
handling it), so anything you want to do (like auto-submits, dynamic
pop-ups, etc etc) is done via the browser -- Javascript would be the
obvious one.

I Suggest looking at onChange and onBlur attributes of  elements
for more info.


As per usual, you'll probably be able to learn quite a bit by looking at
the HTML/JavaScript source code of a page that already does it.


It's not really PHP related, try to think of it as a HTML / browser /
client side issue.  Also, be aware that you shoudl still prolly include
a submit button, so that people with stone age browsers, or worse still,
javascript turned off, can still submit the form and use your site.


I saw an e-commerce site once that ignored this basic little rule, thus
preventing sales to those without javascript.  I don't think any online
store is doing well enough yet to start excluding customers :)

I understand Rasmus, and don't worry, I wasn't being overly-sensitive. 
However as I said, I'm not looking for the ultimate authentication solution 
here, I'm looking for the best I can possibly do - without making it too 
awkward - in a forms- and sessions- based situation. What I have difficulty 
with is understanding how the thousands of websites I mentioned manage it 
without being overly concerned about security. Or is that the problem - 
they're not concerned enough, and we should all be using PKI's? For regular 
websites though, I think that might be overkill, especially when a huge 
majority of people don't understand even the fundamentals of security and 
encryption. (I tried to explain it to my Dad last night, it was painful but 
productive. :)

> 
I know security through obscurity is a bad thing (or at least it's *seen* as 
a bad thing. I don't necessarily subscribe to it being inherently bad, just 
something that should be used with care) but in this case I have to clench my 
teeth, put my hands over my head and say I think you're missing my point, or 
that you're not following me fully.

I realise that the HTTP_REFERER can be spoofed - quite easily in fact, I 
could spoof it myself in a few lines of PHP code - but the chances of Eve 
guessing the right HTTP_REFERER to send are pretty remote, don't you think? 
Unless they're standing behind Alice and looking over her shoulder - in which 
case Alice's security is compromised anyway - Eve isn't going to know which 
page Alice last visited. So the only way Eve could take over Alice's session 
is to visit every page on the site using Alice's session ID. And if Alice is 
still browsing the site, it makes it even harder, because Alice will be 
moving the target around.

Yes, it's security through obscurity, but isn't is so obscure that It Just 
Might Work? Please, I'm not saying your wrong here, I'm genuinely interested 
in your opinion. If you think I'm wrong, tell me, I'd prefer to know. And if 
you have a better solution for the problem I'm facing, I'd love to hear about 
it. I just have a blank wall in front of me and I can't find my sledge. :)

RE: [PHP] Stopping stolen / spoofed / linked sessions

[Robert Klinkenberg]

Depends on what you want to do, first you have to define what are valid
sessions,
So think of things like this
- One Session can only come from one IP address
- A session ID that was created n minutes ago is no longer valid
- A user using Netscape x can't be using IExplorer y


After a user connects to you with a session ID you could check all those
things
yourself in your PHP script and respond appropriately. In this case, store
the 
session in a Database with the remote IP address, expire the Session and
check
the referer. That should block a lot of script kiddies but of course slows
down the 
site.

Also, it's not that hard to create cookies by hand so that won't stop people
who realy
want to enter your site :-( and remember sessions are not meant to be
secure, 
that is why we have SSL :-)

Ah, I'll be using SSL for the original authentication anyway. But the users 
will be browsing using regular HTTP, which means I need a session to *keep* 
them authenticated. I could use HTTP-AUTH of course, but I don't particularly 
want to - some users don't seem to be able to understand it (I kid you not).

See above.

I am on a RaQ(4) right now, gods love me, but this is an across the board 
thing. I'm developing this for my customers use, but I'll be releasing it as 
open source later. So it needs to be as compatible as possible, and cater for 
all possible eventualities - including users who don't use cookies and don't 
understand HTTP-AUTH. It's a wee bit ironic you mentioned it too, because 
I'll be using it to create a server management interface, so I can dump the 
RaQ altogether. They're great little machines, but they're about as secure as 
my tummy after 10 pints of Heineken. (Too graphic? :)

> have some funky-ass httpd.conf settings already in them
>
Very funky actually. They use Perl Sections (mod_perl) to configure the SSL 
VirtualHosts on the fly when httpd is started. I'm experimenting with it 
meself at the moment, but I'm going to use PHP instead of Perl, because 
mod_perl makes for very fat httpd processes, which is pretty annoying when 
you don't even use it on the server. Unfortunately, PHP can't be embedded in 
httpd.conf (add that to the wish list lads), so I'm building a custom 
apachectl to read configuration data from a MySQL database and build a 
httpd.conf, and then start Apache with that confid file. It's really quite 
cool, even if I do say so myself. :)

Kind of, but not really. Actually a RaQ has two httpd's running, one 
listening on ports 80 and 443, and one listening on 81. The regular httpd 
uses mod_rewrite to listen for requests for secured areas 
(/admin, /siteadmin, /personal and /stats on boxes that use Webalizer), and 
redirects to the port 81 server, which then authenticates using the users and 
groups defined on the machine. So you can use HTTP-AUTH as normal on the 
regular httpd, as long you define your AuthUserFile/AuthGroupFile's 
correctly, and the HTTP-AUTH protected areas don't clash with the RaQ secured 
areas. The server is configured with 'AllowOverride none' by default though, 
but you just need to change it to 'AuthConfig' to fix that.

Well, it the same old problem, isn't it? Convenience V security. The RaQ's 
are *very* convenient for a small but reasonably busy webdev/hosting company 
that doesn't have their own interface. When it comes to security though, it's 
not the best solution in the world by any manner of means. But if we were to 
be 100% secure all the time, everyone would use SSH and SC. If only life were 
that simple... :)

Like I said above though, I'll be losing the RaQ as soon as I get the chance. 
I'd prefer to write and use my own code, I'd prefer to take the 
responsibility myself. And I'd just like to point out that I'm on this box 
now for conveniences sake, because it's closer to home than my prefered box 
(Red Hat, sorry :).

Anyway, thanks Richard,
adam

Well, "pretty hard to spoof" is very relative.  It is basically security
through obscurity.  From the description you just provided it is trivial
to spoof it.  Remember that the HTTP_REFERER comes from the client and can
very easily be spoofed.

Hi Rasmus, nice to see you still watching over us on the lists. I feel like 
I've been ticked off by my dad though... :)

Ah, have a little more faith in one of your older users Rasmus. I'm not 
talking about the be-all and end-all of authentication here - if I was doing 
that, I would set up a PKI. I'm talking about regular authentication on 
websites, like thousands - tens of thousands - of sites use every day. Sites 
like Hotmail, Yahoo!, even Zend.com, which uses PHP sessions for tracking a 
users session after they been authenticated (which is really a follow-on type 
of authentication). It also uses the users IP address, which seems a bit icky 
for the reasons stated in my previous email, but maybe they've figured a way 
around the problem.

What I'm asking is basically "What's the best and easiest way to go about 
this?" I have come up with a solution of sorts though, and I'd be interested 
in your opinion. I set up a user with a PHP session, and of course a timeout. 
If they have cookies turned on, I set another cookie with a hash of the 
username and password, or somthing else. But my final line of defense for 
users that don't have cookies is a URL and HTTP_REFERER comparison check. 
That is, on every request I log the URL requested as a session variable. On 
every subsequent request I compare the HTTP_REFERER with the logged URL, and 
if they match there's a pretty good chance it's not someone spoofing. 
Granted, it's not foolproof, but it'd be pretty hard to spoof, right?

Anyway, I'd be interested in your opinion, and I'd also be interested in 
whether you're coming to Dublin for ApacheCon Europe? I hope to meet you 
there if you are.

Set a hidden variable within the form, then have PHP check the value when
the page reloads. if the variable is set, have PHP add a JavaScript line to
close the window immediately. !!! Note my syntax may be incorrect.

Test page

 














I believe this will do what you want. If the form has been submitted then
the value of my_hidden_var should cause PHP to insert the correct JavaScript
to close the window.

Is that what you are looking for?

I think a cleaner solution would be to have PHP check the value of the
my_hidden_var and redirect to a thank you page. This could be set to time
out and close if you wanted, or offer a validation step as well.

[PHP] Help with custom session handler

[Aral Balkan]

I'm writing a custom session handler that saves sessions using Manuel Lemos'
excellent Metabase library. The problem is, although I've got the
session_set_save_handler function pointing to the correct start, end, read,
write, destroy and garbage collection functions, when I call session_start
and session_register, the "write" function does not get called (the only
function that gets called is the "read" function.)

I read on a post at PHPBuilder that the write function cannot output to the
browser so just to make sure I logged my debug code to a global variable and
it really is not getting called.

I'd really appreciate any suggestions you might have -- it's got me stumped!

Thanks, Aral :)

Re: [PHP] Parse error: Needs T_VARIABLE or $

[Delbono]

Try this:

$r = trim($rowData[3]);
if ( !empty( $r  ) )
{
$tdStr.= trim($rowData[3]);
}


I tokk a look at the manual:

1. Note: empty() is a language construct.
so:
!empty is like to say   !if  or !while  : so it's wrong-

2.
Note that this is meaningless when used on anything which isn't a variable;
i.e. empty (addslashes ($name)) has no meaning since it would be checking
whether something which isn't a variable is a variable with a false value.

In PHP I try to run a shell command with the following source code:

$fotonaam = 'convert -font arial -pointsize 20 -gravity center -fill

exec($fotonaam);

PHP runs the program but the -draw "text 5,5 VERKOCHT" is not executed
(there is no VERKOCHT in the image2.jpg). I tried everything but I can't
solve the problem. Could somebody explain to me how it's possible that the
program (convert) runs but there (seams to be) a problem with -draw "text
5,5 VERKOCHT". If I run the same command troughs telnet/ssh as root or
nobody it works fine

Is it something with the " and the combinative with the exec function (I
also tried \")?

Or is it because I run PHP in safe mode and the convert program tries to run
a external program what is not in the . path (you now, the basic safe mode
restriction)?

Please help me.. I'm getting despaired on this in. ;-)

[PHP] extracting element for TOC

I have a directory with many small html files...which I'd like to return the
text within the  tags for the purpose of creating a table of contents
(TOC).

I currently have a script which reads the directory, and returns all the
files which I'd like to open.  I'm a bit lost on how to write a loop which
would open each file, and return the info within  tags.

How could this best be accomplished?

Thanks in advance.

So setting a 'loggedin' session variable once a person has authenticated, and
checking for that session variable each request before proceeding is not ok?

I looked at this thing and can't figure out that it does very much. 
If someone makes a web page that contains a link to my site that 
contains the PHPSESSID=... then that session id will be invalid. 
However, if they just type the same string into their browser by 
hand, it is accepted?

It seems that there is no stopping session spoofing if using the URL 
method. The only work around is to expire sessions quickly or to 
require that cookies be used?

[PHP] Compiling PHP with IMAP

[Sagar Chand]

Hiall,
I am compiling php4.0.5 with imap support as a DSO
for APache. with 
./configure --with-apxs. --with-imap
And I got an error saying rfc822.h missing.
So I downloaded the latest Imap Beta 2001 tilldate
And cp'd the c-client to /usr/include
And after compiling the imapd and ipop3d
I cp'd the imapd and ipopd to /usr/sbin
and activated them thru inetd.conf (I'm on RH6.2)

Now configure --with-imap is giving a different error
like this
"cannot find imap Library, Check your imap
installation"
But the imap server is working fine.

Any suggestions ?

In practice, I would say yes.

However, theoretically, AOL may suddenly use switch your connection
to use a proxy on the other side of the country on a completely 
different B class if their proxy gets congested. And if they can
do that within a country (I'm almost sure they do, or can now), they
can do it around the world :)

So in practice yes, in theory and perhaps in practice no.

[WILD GUESS ALERT!]

I'm guessing the gzip part happens "in place" as the data is being streamed
to the browser, not before you call ob_get_contents.

If so, you now have one data point.  Your 17280-character string gets turned
into 2028 (?) bytes???  To see if this is maybe a correct thesis, snag the
HTML output, and run gzip on it, and see if it's 17,280 bytes before and
2028 after.

So maybe there's no real way to know what the compressed size is...  Unless
you want to try to match up your log file entries with your ob_get_contents
measurement above.

Does gz-handler not provide any facility for measuring its performance or
anything?...  You'd think it would...

Probably.  Or maybe that program/lib just isn't in PHP's PATH.  Try running
it as nobody, but set your $PATH to "" first.

Also, try using the optional parameters to http://php.net/exec so you can
get some feedback from the OS about what error is happening, if any.

Re: [PHP] ADD a user in linux using PHP

[Charles Williams]

ADD a user in linux using PHPsure, I use a small C program I wrote and set to setuid 
root.  that way I can hide it and it all works good with an exec call from php.  I 
wouldn't advise setting setuid adduser to root.  It's way too dangerous.

  Hi! I'm Bruno, from brazil 

  Somebody knows how to create a new user in LINUX (not http server) using PHP? 

  Something like useradd and passwd 

  Thanks, 

  Bruno. 

Re: [PHP] Please Help......

[Julia A. Case]

This could be difficult or not even possible...  first you would need to 
add entries to the DNS zone file (and update the serial number) and then 
reload the DNS database, and this is only if you run your own DNS and not 
have your provider do it for you, like many of us do.

Then you would have to update the /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file with the 
correct info for the sub-domain and then restart apache

And if you intend to have the new user upload content for the new 
sub-domain you would need to add a user and set a password, and as I 
stated in a previous message running passwd from php isn't possible as it 
requires you to enter a password, you can't supply one on the command 
line, and it needs to run as root to change the password of another user.

Re: [PHP] passwd in php....

[Julia A. Case]

I don't think this is going to work, passwd requires you to input the 
passwword, not just pass it as an option on the command line.

On top of that, you have to be root to change a password other than yours.

MySQL transation are known to be unstable (discl: I've never used them,
for this stuff Postgres is the way to go).

What sais your contract w/ them? Doesn't it specify a version of the
software? If not, they are right.

Before deploying, try to reproduce the same platform on a test box,
and test on it. You'll find most of the problems. 

Also, check the changelogs of PHP releases, to see what nasty known
bug was fixed in the next revision they don't have and might relate
to your problems.

etc.

(grimace) The PHP manual is actually very well written; I can usually find
exactly what I need in < 10s.  I think your complaint just covers sloppy
thinking.

I'd think you should be able to find screen-scraper code around; if not, try
this:

- search for ''.  Save (this character position + 1).
- search for the first trailing ''.  Again, case-insensitive!
- store everything between the two; strip all HTML tags, add slashes, and
store it.
- increment your file position by 5 characters and repeat.

I'd give you actual code, but I think you could use some manual practice
(smirk).

If you have to do it all in PHP, I would pass a start-file index to the

 0 );// should 'prev' be active?
$next = false;// should 'next' be
active?
$ignore = array(".", "..");// files to skip
$i = 0;

if ($i < $ind + 15) {
echo "\n  $fname";
}
else {
$next = true;// more files; make 'next'
active
break;
}
}
$i++;
}
closedir($dir);

$prev_pre = ( $prev ? '' : '' );
$prev_post = ( $prev ? '' : '' );
$next_pre = ( $next ? '' : '' );
$next_post = ( $next ? '' : '' );
echo "\n$prev_pre <>
$next_post";
?>

This will skip '.' and '..' without counting them, will enable/disable the
'prev' and 'next' links as needed, will ignore all files past $ind+16 (it
has to read one past the end to know if 'next' should be enabled), and will
automatically stop when it runs out of files.  It will work for all
browsers, at a cost of increased server load.

Personally, I would consider writing all the filenames into a JavaScript
array, and do the paging on the client.
