[PHP-DB] PDOException: could not find driver (postgres)

2010-04-22 Thread Gary .
What could be causing this please? Going direct, using pg_connect, is
not a problem.

The code in question looks like
$pdo = new PDO('pgsql:host=localhost;port=5432;dbname=mydb', 'dbuser',
'dbpass');
(I think - I've yet to be able to debug it down to a single line)

Seems like a simple missing driver problem.  Make sure you have the PDO
postgres driver enabled in your php.ini, it does not use the same driver
as the Postgres extension.

Aha! Okay, thanks! It's working now...

[PHP-DB] session management

2010-04-22 Thread Vinay Kannan
Hey Guys,

I need some help on an effficient session management, right now what I do is
check if the user has loggedin using his username, and create a
SESSION['logged']=1, setting a login flag actually, I am not sure if this is
the best way ?

What do you guys use for sessions, and which is the best possible way ?

Thanks,
Vinay

How secure would you want it? Is this is a public facing web application?

Are you in a shared hosting environment vs. a dedicated hosting 
environment? Do you require alternative session management such as 
database or mcache vs. flat file session support?


Have you thought about cross site request forgery's? session hijacking etc?

There are tons of things to take into consideration but setting a flag 
per user session is indeed one method of ensuring a user has authenticated.

Hi Jason,

Yes this is going to be a public facing application with 3 level heirarchy,
and maybe around 100 tiny companies(3-4 employees) using it.

App is going to be on a Hosted Server.

DB session mgmt would be a bit slower, is it? I have thought about cross
site forgery and session hijacking, but the more I think about it, I realize
the lesser I know about it all :(

So thought this would be the best place to start.
Thanks,
Vinay
