Re: [PHP] chmod error?

2002-04-10 Thread Henrik Hudson

Hello.

First off, to  change ownership you want chown, not chmod. Also, chown 
isn't always permitted depending on the cicrumstances of who owns the 
directory or the specific file to begin with. 

If you're web server is running as nobody it will only be able to create files 
in a directory owned by nobody (or world writable...but that's stupid) or 
modify a file that already exists and owned by nobody. 

If I may ask, what are you trying to change the ownership for / to?

[PHP] Re: how to send an email to everone listed in a file

2002-04-10 Thread David Robley

In article [EMAIL PROTECTED], 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] says...
 Hi all. I really wish I could contribute here and help
 people out too but i don't know a fraction of the
 stuff that you gurus do. 
 I try not to bug you all with too many questions and
 try to figure it out/learn on my own as much as
 possible.
 
 I am trying to figure out how i could send an email to
 everyone listed in a file. the file contains a name
 followed by a space followed by their email followed
 by a carriage return. the number of entries in the
 file changes. i would like to send the newletter to
 everyone in the file and have their name put in the
 email as well. (since i don't endorse spam I assure
 you this isn't for such purpose).
 
 From what i'm able to figure out on my own, I think
 i'm going to need something that reads the file into
 some array which separates each entry based on the \n
 and the space and some sort of loop (for, while, etc).
 I have no idea how complex of a task this is but i
 would appreciate any help or ideas! thanks! (note: i'm
 on php4.0.4pl1)
 

file() will read the file into an array; you could then use explode() on 
each element of the array to extract the email address, and mail() to 
send the message.

 Not exactly.  As mentioned, you've got all sorts of unneded stuff going

 with just the basics:

 $Symbols[] = 'ek';
 $Symbols[] = 'et';

 $URI = 'http://quotes.nasdaq.com/quote.dll?page=xmlmode=stocksymbol=';


 function StartHandler($Parser, $ElementName, $Attr='') {
 }

 function CharacterHandler($Parser, $Line) {
 }

 function EndHandler($Parser, $ElementName, $Attr='') {
 }


 while ( list(,$Sym) = each($Symbols) ) {
$Contents = implode( '', file($URI$Sym) );

$Parser = xml_parser_create('ISO-8859-1');
xml_set_element_handler($Parser, 'StartHandler', 'EndHandler');
xml_set_character_data_handler($Parser, 'CharacterHandler');

if ( xml_parse($Parser, $Contents) ) {
   echo 'YES!';
} else {
   echo 'NO!';
}

xml_parser_free($Parser);

 }

 ?


 Now, if that works, start flushing out the element/character handlers.
 Do it little by little to make sure each of your steps are correct.

 Enjoy,

[PHP] session variables and unset

2002-04-10 Thread Valdas Andrulis

Hello,

I have 3 scripts:

## i2.php
?php
session_start();
$counter = 1;
session_register(counter);
header(Location: /i.php);
?

## i.php
?php
session_start();
$counter = 0;
### uncomment this to see the difference
# session_unregister(counter);
session_register(counter);
unset($counter);
$counter = 4;
session_register(counter);
header(Location: /i1.php);
?

## i1.php
?php
session_start();
print $counter;

?

When I open http://host/i2.php on my browser I get 0, though I expect it
to be 4. If I uncomment session_unregister(counter); I get 4 as
expected.

PHP version 4.1.2.

Anyone can explain this behavior? Also can anyone try this with say
4.0.5 or older version of PHP?

Good luck,

 imagecreatefromstring() seems to be the candidate... however a comment

 You have a web page hosted at a certain ISP... where the domain name is 
 something like http://isp.com/~eprice/index.html
 
 But you just purchased a fancy domain name from an independent domain 
 name registrar (not thru your ISP) and you want to point the new domain

 dedicated IP address and they won't give you a virtual host, so you have 
 no way to map your shiny new domain name to your web site.
 
 Stealth forwarding essentially makes the entire browser window into one 
 giant new frame.  The contents of the frame are 
 http://isp.com/~eprice/index.html, but because the frameset is hosted by 
 the indie domain name registrar, and they have your shiny new domain 
 name mapped to a virtual host on their servers or something, it looks 
 like (judging from the URL bar) a user is browsing

I am a Java programmer learning PHP.

In Java you can have a class that contains public and private functions.
Only the public functions are accessible outside of the class.  Does PHP
have a way to hide functions within a class (i.e. make the private)?

My concern is that there are some functions that you don't want anyone being
able to call...only local functions within the same class should be able to
call it.

I'll give an example below:

?php  // myClass.php3
   class myClass
   {
   function f1 // I want this one to be public
   {
   f2();
   }
   function f2  // I want this one to be private
   {}
   }
?

?php include 'myClass.php3';
  $p = new myClass();
  $p-f1(); // I want this to be a valid function call
  $p-f2(); // I want this to be an invalid function call
?


Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi

$input = preg_replace(!lt;(b|i|u)gt;(.*?)lt;/\\1gt;!is, $1$2/$1,

I use something like this on one of my sites, though I check as the user

Justin French [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message
[EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]...
 Hi all,

 Further to a discussion we had yesterday about the danger of onLoad,
 onMouseOver, etc etc of allowed tags when using strip_tags(), I've decided
 to look at the issue from another angle.

 For the limited set of tags I usually allow on user input, BIU, I'm
 going take the approach of deleting anything I don't specifically TRUST,
 rather than deleting things I don't trust.

 For such simple tags, It seems to me to be a smarter move to delete
anything
 in the tag apart from the actual tag.

 Banything else becomes B

 This eliminates the danger of people putting anything evil like
 onmouseover=javascript:self.close(); into my small set of allowed tags.


 So, I'd like a regexp which looks for multiple occurences of a tag (let's
 take B for an example), and throw out anything not needed.

 In English, I guess it looks like:

 look for a  followed by a b (case insensitive), then throw away
 anything up to the first  we find.

 Better still would be a regexp or function that checks for b|i|u, or a
 passed set of tags.


 I'm aware that this type of hard-line approach will prevent B id=foo,
 and I will also have problems on things like FONT face=something and
A
 HREF=foo.php, but I plan to devise some psuedo tags for links, and
don't
 require font tags, image tags, etc etc.


 Many thanks in advance,

 Justin French

[PHP] mailing list using mail()

2002-04-10 Thread Petre Agenbag

Hi,
the combination of PHP and mysql and the ease of use of the mail() 
function obviously leads me to believe that it *should* be a singe to 
use php to send customised messages to all my users , of whom I have 
details in a mysql table by simply running a select * from table and 
then using a while loop to run through every row and sending an e_mail 
to $user_in_table.

The obvious problem here is that ( in my case 17 000 users) this can 
easily kill the mail server and could also cause the script to timeout 
or ( if increasing the timeout) kill the server outright.
So, what are my options?
Should I be attempting this ( if not, how can I keep others that are 
hosting on my machines from trying this with their own tables)
Should I just use one message and append the BCC: line of the one message?

2002-04-10 Thread David Robley

In article [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] says...
 Hi,
 the combination of PHP and mysql and the ease of use of the mail() 
 function obviously leads me to believe that it *should* be a singe to 
 use php to send customised messages to all my users , of whom I have 
 details in a mysql table by simply running a select * from table and 
 then using a while loop to run through every row and sending an e_mail 
 to $user_in_table.
 
 The obvious problem here is that ( in my case 17 000 users) this can 
 easily kill the mail server and could also cause the script to timeout 
 or ( if increasing the timeout) kill the server outright.
 So, what are my options?
 Should I be attempting this ( if not, how can I keep others that are 
 hosting on my machines from trying this with their own tables)
 Should I just use one message and append the BCC: line of the one message?
 
 Thanks 
 
 
Alternatively you could use the output from your table to feed a userlist 
to a dedicated mail list package

[EMAIL PROTECTED] says...
 Hi guys,
 
 I've been looking on the net and the php docs for a simple
 mysql query solution, can someone please let me know
 the best way to get the values of a query that only returns 1 record?
 
 All the select query examples on the net are examples of
 multiple records being returned, and therefor, there is repition
 methods shown.
 
 For this I don't need any repitition, I just need to know the best
 way to get the DB values from the query into variables.
 
 Cheers.
 
 -Mason
 
A while or similar should still work with only one record; but of course 
you could just drop the while and use the 'enclosed' code just once. If 
you have a particular sample you want to reduce, post it if you need more 
help.

Right, but some MTA cannot handle too large header(s).

Why don't you use list server in first place?
For example, ezmlm support database backends if you
are using qmail. PHP has ezmlm_hash function for it.

[PHP] Re: Is While needed in MySQL Result with a Limit of 1

2002-04-10 Thread Michael Virnstein

It seems that you don't understand why mysql_fetch_array
is most often used inside a loop. The loop is not required!
if you don't put mysql_fetch_array inside a loop, you can only get the first
row
and that's it, because calling mysql_fetch_array will return the next row in
your result.
if you expect more than one row, you have to call mysql_fetch_array for as
many times as you expect
rows. This could be done by calling mysql_fetch_array manually for as many
times you need or via
some sort of loop. The easiest way to get all rows, although you don't know
how many rows
you'll get, is using a while loop.

[PHP] MSIE 6.0 Cookie/Privacy Question

2002-04-10 Thread Richard Spangenberg

Hi,

I have noticed that my cookies work just fine in MSIE 6.0 if the browser's
privacy setting is set to low.  However, in all other settings it is not
responding.

I am using a remote file JS call to set the cookie.  The browser will only
read cookie from the host that the page is loaded from and I believe that as
the remote JS script appears to be part of the html page from the host when
loaded.  Why would it not work?

Also, settings other than privacy set to low, make mention of  if host has a
Compact Privacy Policy, and Permission without Concent.  I don't know how to
qualify for these if there is anything we can do we will meet it.

Does everyone have problems with this or am I doing something wrong/

Rick

Re: [PHP] Re: mailing list using mail()

Is there anyway you could break this up into managable chunks maybe.  I'm 
currently doing something similar in that I'm writing a PHP based list 
server app that uses a heirarchical grouping system, but mine is broken done 
into smaller chunks based on group and user permissions.  What if you did a 
1 second sleep between each user send?  While it would take a very long time 
to parse through the list of users the mail server would still be able to 
respond quickly and not have PHP timeout.

RE: [PHP] Secure storage of credit card information

2002-04-10 Thread Nathan Cassano


If I where in your shoes I would encrypt the accounts with Mcrypt, setup
a separate database, on a separate computer, communicating on a low
speed serial line (4800 baud) using ppp, fully fire walling the
connection and doing mass logging.

[PHP] newbie html forms primer help

2002-04-10 Thread ROBERT MCPEAK

I need some help with html forms.  I primer on html forms and variables
is much needed.  Anybody have some code snipets to share?  

I'm getting acquainted with $HTTP_POST_VARS but need some help in
accomplishing a couple of things.

I'd like to collect all checkbox input variables and stick them
together in a comma delimited string.

I'd also like to display the names and values of the all posted
variables.

In another language I'm familiar with, this looks like:

[formvariables name=thevarname][name]=[value]BR[/formvariables]

For passed checkbox input var doh, where values were blah and bleck,
the above code would display:

doh=blah
doh=bleck

How do I do this with php?

Is there a way I can ensure the end user clicks the submit button on a given
form, *once* ?  Can PHP help me with this, or would this be a job for Java?

Thanks.
Jason

RE: [PHP] ini_set doesn't work

2002-04-10 Thread Martin Towell

 [snip mail header info]

 Hello,

 why don't you just do an include hello.html; at the end of the file?

 Because, there are so many files.
 thanks.

 [snip mail footer info]

but you'd have to put set_ini() in each of your files (unless you're putting
it in an auto prepended file)
