move_uploaded_file($_FILES['ufile1']['tmp_name'],'./' .

You should be using move_uploaded_file() instead of copy(), first of all.

Next, the two arguments passed to either copy() or move_uploaded_file() 
are _filenames_, not directories. So something like

move_uploaded_file($_FILES['ufile1']['tmp_name'],'./' . 
$_FILES['ufile1']['name']);

is probably what you're after.

For the message:

 Permission denied in /home/ayserve/public_html/fu/fuprocess.php on line 6

you have to change the permissions of the file folder where you are copying
the file.
If you created it via FTP then you can't use copy() or move().

check:
echo fileperms( $folder );
if it's 33188 or 33279 it's ok but I think it is not the permission of your
folder.
I think you'll get 17901 or some other.
so you have to use ftp_chmod() of ftp_site() to change it..

try this:

$folderbase = folderbase; // it's the folder where your folder for
uploads is.
$folder = foldername;// it's your folder for uploads.
$mode = 0777;

$site = ftp_connect ( ftp.yourdomain.com );
if( $site != FALSE ) {

$loged = ftp_login( $site , your username, your password );

if( $loged ) {

ftp_chdir( $site , $folder );
ftp_site( $site , chmod $mode $folder );

}

ftp_quit( $site );

[PHP-DB] more about permissions

2003-10-16 Thread Gabriel Peugnet
Have in mind that some permissions can be changed only via FTP but some
other can only be changed useing chmod().

If you want more security you should set the permission in the moment of the
upload and change it again after it.

[PHP-DB] Another way.

2003-10-16 Thread Gabriel Peugnet
You can also pass the variable via POST to the script where the function is.
It remains a local variable.

Or you can set it as global like Chris says.

And another way is puting it in a cookie.

2003-10-16 Thread Gabriel Peugnet
In your code, where you have:

if (is_uploaded_file($_FILES['ufile1']['name'])) {
 copy($_FILES['ufile1']['name'], .);
...

you should check the extension of the file been uploaded
you should'n accept files with php, cgi, asp, etc., extensions neither an
index file
if you do, some user (hacker) could upload a script and would be inside your
server

then check this:

if (is_uploaded_file($_FILES['ufile1']['name'])) {

if ( the file is not a script  ){
 copy($_FILES['ufile1']['name'], .);

 PHP runs as the web server and it does not have permission to write to 
 the current directory. If you're using IIS, PHP runs as the 
 IUSR_computer_name user.

And how is it by running Linux. I've a similar problem with my provider
in uploading files via php. The permissions in the html-subdir are set
that all persons have write-permissions.

At the moment I work with a workaround that by using email to transfer
the file to me to be uploaded via ftp. But the way should be that the
user should be able to upload a file by himselve via PHP.

Regards,
Ruprecht

Bunmi, you need to understand Unix file permissions.

Because you are running as the web server 'user / group' that user needs 
permission to write to the directory you are specifying. In this case you 
are trying to circumvent filesystem access controls by writing directly to 
the root directory of the filesystem !

So you need to adjust your path to for example 
/home/ayserve/public_html/fu/uploads/

*** Then*** You need to adjust the permission on this directory to allow 
write access to the web server. You can do this from most FTP clients 
(dreamweaver has a plugin to adjust the permissions of the directory). It 
needs to be mode 660 or 666 for testing, you can tighten up the permissions 
later.

If you absolutely cant do this by FTP somehow, try using

chmod(/home/ayserve/public_html/fu/uploads/,100666);
 execute your upload after extensive file type checks
chmod(/home/ayserve/public_html/fu/uploads/,100755);
To change it back again to a safe setting as soon as possible !

666 corresponds to user-group-everybody, rwx and 660 to rw (no execute 
permission). Finally, 755 allows owner rwx and others rx permission - 
execute permission needs to be set again afterwards to allow the web server 
to traverse (read) the directory again.

PS _ Can you remind me again how this is related to Databases in PHP, the 
topic of this list ;-)

yes, You are alternating between curly braces {} and parenethes ()
(spelling??). Also you forgot to the closing double quotes when
completeing the mysql_query statement.

You could also put the insert statement into a vairable and echo that to
the screen. That way if you can't see the error, paste the query text
into the mysql command line client.

[PHP-DB] Retreive data from multiple columns by ['tablename.colname']

2003-10-16 Thread Erik Björling
Hi,

I use a query with multiple tables:
SELECT * FROM cases,status,prio  where cases.statusid=status.id  .
I retreive the data into my variable $line like this.
while ($line = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {.
How can I retreive data from $line without using the index value as 
integers for example $line[13]
I would like to write $line['cases.id'] to retreive 'id' data from the 
table 'cases' in a SQL-manner. But I get an error message regarding unknown 
index 'cases.id'.

Is there an easy solution to this? Is there another sign then '.' or should 
I use other names for my 'id'-columns such as c_id, s_id etc.?

Take a look at $line and you'll see the values are already there. 
$line['id'], etc. Use print_r() on $line to see it's contents.

Is there an easy solution to this? Is there another sign then '.' or 
should I use other names for my 'id'-columns such as c_id, s_id etc.?
Yes, this is recommended. Otherwise the id column from one table will 
overwrite the value from another table when it's all put into $line. Use 
an alias and remember that the keys do not include the table name, only 
the column name: $line['id'] instead of $line['table1.id'].

Hi Erik,

I think you can use   ** $line['cases.id'] ** if you individually identify each column 
selected, rather than using the * symbol.

[PHP-DB] problem with LDAP support

2003-10-16 Thread zxx10
Dear friends:

I have a problem of installation of php.

I'm using Linux 7.3. I have installed 
openldap2.1.22 successfully.

Now I'm compiling php with the following
command:

./configure --with-apache2=/usr/local/apache2 \
--with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql \
--with-ldap=/usr/local/ldap

The configuration is past. However, when I
type make, the following error occured:
gcc: sapi/cli/php_cli.o: No such file or directory
gcc: sapi/cli/getopt.o:  No such file or directory
make: ***[sapi/cli/php] Error 1

Any ideas?

 The folder already has permission 777.
Re your response below : I missed the leading dot, and so I may have not 
been concise enough with my answer so let me try again :

You are trying to move a file to ./ayservenet.jpg Now, as far as 
the OS can determine, this file is not allowed to be placed there (even 
though its the same directory) because you probably have the open_basedir 
restriction in place on your server (quite rightly, for security reasons).

What you need to do let me reiterate, is to ensure the directory you are 
copying to has the correct permissions (you say this is tru) *and* you name 
the path as an absolute path name within the Linux filesystem structure.

My ISP does the same thing, and you can only upload files to an absolute 
path which is at or below your html root directory. In your case this is 
probably /home/ayserve/public_html/fu/

Please do not use relative paths for this as it will probably not work, as 
you have found.

Hope that helps - Cheers, Neil.


This is the reply I got:

Warning: move_uploaded_file(./ayservenet.jpg): failed to open stream:

I had experienced this also on Windows IIS now it is also coming on my

 Again, waste of variable space, and makes what you are doing less
 readable.  You also don't want to strip slashes most likely.  If you have
 magic_quotes turned on, PHP will automatically backslash any escaped
 characters (', /, some others), so you don't need to use addslashes on
 that variable.  If it is not turned on, you will need to addslashes on
 your post variable.

 magic_quotes turned on
 You don't know me! = $_POST['elementName'] == You don\'t know \me\!

 Turned off
 You don't know me! = $_POST['elementName'] == You don't know me!

 If you don't addslashes when magic_quotes are turned off, your select will
 fail, as the string will end at the first set of quotes (just after know
 ).

[PHP-DB] $_POST in MySQL query issue...

2003-10-16 Thread Adam Reiswig
Greetings to all.  I am trying for the life of me to place a $_POST[] 
variable in my MySQL query.  I am running the latest stable versions of 
PHP, MySQL and Apache 2 on my Win2kPro machine.  My register_globals are 
set to off in my php.ini.  My code I am attempting create is basically 
as follows:

$table=elements;
$sql=insert into $table set Name = '$elementName';
This works with register_globals set to on.  But, I want to be able to 
turn that off.  My code then, I am guessing, be something as follows:

$table=elements;
$sql=insert into $table set Name = '$_POST[elementName]';
Unfortunately this and every other combination I can think of, 
combinations of quotes that is, does not work.  I believe the source of 
the problem is the quotes within quotes within quotes. I also tried:

$sql='insert into $table set Name = '.$_POST[elementName];
  or
$sql=insert into $table set Name = .$_POST['elementName'];
and several other variations.

Can anyone give me some pointers to inserting $_POST[] statements inside 
of query statements?  I am sure there must be a way but I have spent a 
lot of time on this and am really stumped here.  Thanks for any help.

I see you can achieve this by two ways:

	1. Take out all the inside quotes (single or double) like the following:

	$sql=insert into $table set Name = $_POST[elementName];

	2. Use a temporary variable for $_POST[elementName], like $elementName 
= $_POST[elementName], then continute use your original SQL sentence

 You need to quote the Name.

 $sql = 'insert into '.$table.' set Name = '.addslashes($_POST['elementName']).'';

 You've done everything here that you need, no extra variables, no nothing.

 Register_Globals is bad -- if you can avoid using it, do so.

 Performance-wise, it is better to use single quotes and concat the
 variables outside of the quoted line.  Better performance, less problems
 with variables not being expanded correctly.

 $sql=insert into $table set Name = '$_POST[elementName]';

The problem with this is that you need to use curly braces around the 
variable being substituted in the string. Also use single quotes around the 
array index.

$sql=insert into $table set Name = '{$_POST['elementName']}';

See the manual.. (Variable parsing section)

 $sql=insert into $table set Name = .$_POST['elementName'];
 
 and several other variations.
 
 Can anyone give me some pointers to inserting $_POST[] statements inside
 of query statements?  I am sure there must be a way but I have spent a
 lot of time on this and am really stumped here.  Thanks for any help.
