Yes. It is. After reading about it I can't quite see what benifit it
provides. Should I just turn it off?
It depends on your site.
If you do something like this for a search:
?php
...
if (!isset($_SESSION['SearchResults']) ||
empty($_SESSION['SearchResults'])) {
..
$result = $db-query($search_query);
$search_results = array();
while($row = $db-fetch($result)) {
$search_results[] = $row;
}
$_SESSION['SearchResults'] = $search_results;
}
foreach($_SESSION['SearchResults'] as $k = $details) {
}
I could send someone a url with the sessionid on the end of it, and it
won't have to do the bit in the middle, it will be able to jump right to
the end (the foreach loop).
If you don't do something like that, then you probably don't need the
trans_sid on.
so it depends on your site and your code.

I'm not doing anything like that. Sessions are only used to prevent
duplicate form invokations. But my boilerplate code calls session_start
for all .php pages. I suppose I should be more selective to make things
a little more efficient.
But I'm still confuse.
Why aren't cookies alone sufficient to satisfy the session code?
Is PHPSESSID used because of some kind of transition from a PHP page
that calls session_start to a page that does not?
Does session.use_trans_sid simply enable the PHPSESSID in URLs or does
it have a deeper semantic?
The URLs for the tabs my site are not dynamically generated and yet
they're being rewritten. Is that PHP or Apache doing that?

Re: [PHP] Cookie Variables Maxing Out Using IE6
On Wed, August 16, 2006 9:00 am, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Does IE6 limit somehow/somewhere the number of cookie variables I can create and store? Richard Lynch responded: Yes. Read the Cookie spec. There's no need for any site to ever send more than ONE Cookie anyway. Just use session_start() and you can store all the stuff in $_SESSION and it's all tied to the one Cookie. Users like me who set the browser to prompt for Cookies will often LEAVE a site that is being stupid and sending too many cookies, unless we really really really need your content, which is unlikely. So you're calling my app stupid, Richard?? lol To clarify, the app is for a small group of known users on an intranet, and yes, they really really need the content. There are 24 check boxes, and each selection triggers a graphical display of radiation levels in a specific area over the last hour. Since the active areas - 12 to 15 usually - don't change all that much over time, I thought it would make sense to have the app remember which boxes had been checked at last launch. I didn't like the idea of using cookies, so I actually have a database solution in place. But I've not dealt much with cookies, and I had some time and tried to use them to solve the problem. That's when I ran into the 20 cookie limit with IE (Having just read the spec, I'm surprised that Microsoft has actually followed it). Unless there's something basic about $_SESSION variables I've missed, I don't believe they would work here. I need to track and remember which boxes are checked between sessions, not within a single session. Someone please correct me if I'm mistaken. Thanks again to Adam Zey for suggesting I serialize the cookie data. That solved the problem.

[PHP] Creating User Friendly URLS
PHP List, My goal is to create user and search engine friendly URLs like: mysite.com/my_web_page_title Instead of: mysite.com/index.php?pageID=1 I asked about this before: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-generalm=113597988027012w=2 And there is this helpful tutorial: http://agachi.name/weblog/archives/2005/01/30/rewriting-dynamic-urls-into-friendly-urls.htm Both of which refer to a variable called $_SERVER['PATH_INFO']. But, in the php.net manual, in the predefined variables page, 'PATH_INFO' is only obliquely referenced in the $_SERVER variable description, under the 'PATH_TRANSLATED' element. When I've tried echoing out the contents of $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'], I get nothing. I'm trying to set it so that pages are named according to their title in my MySQL database. So my script will pull my_web_page_title out of the URL, match that against the database, and then display the appropriate contents. I thought I could do this by simply making my link into: a href=index.php/my_web_page_titleMy Web Page Title/a And then stripping out the index.php, and using the remainder for both the URL and the database lookup. But, while I'm sure there are more steps than that, I'm halted initially because I'm not sure where in the $_SERVER array my URL is being stored.

Re: [PHP] Creating User Friendly URLS
1. assign a 'page' a 'friendly url' - this is probably done in your CMS 2. write a routine that will generate a 'friendly url' for a given 'page' in your cms; this allows you to stick the 'friendly urls' in a menu for instance. 3. write a routine for taking any given url and trying to match it against a 'page' in your CMS (let it return the page data and/or id if successful) 4. setup your webserver to redirect non-existent urls to a handler script that will use the routine from 3 to try and find the correct page. sticking to apache this can be done in at least 2 ways: a, use mod_rewrite - to which I can only say RTFM ;-) b, use the ErrorDocument directive, which would look something like: ErrorDocument 404 /myhandler.php 5. write a 'handler script' as mentioned in 4. if your are using ErrorDocument you will need to output a 'Status: 200' header if your handler finds a page matching the requested url. 6. do var_dump($_REQUEST, $_SERVER) in your 'handler script' to find out exactly what info you have to play with - you should be able to find everything you need.

aside from being a hack it's not SSO and doesn't scale because it requires

LDAP can authenticate with Active Directory just fine:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=enq=php+exchange+ldap+authenticationbtnG=Google+Search
or
http://www.google.com/search?hl=enlr=q=php+active+directory+ldap+authenticationbtnG=Search
The question is how secure is it. You can set up LDAP to use SSL, so that
would make it more secure. Kerberos is more secure than LDAP, and you
_could_ set it up so that the browser forwards the ticket on to mod_kerb for
authentication, thus not needing a sign-on other than to the domain. From my
experiences that isn't exactly easy to set up though.

[PHP] PHP 4.4.4 and 5.1.5 Released!
Hello, PHP development team would like to announce the immediate availability of PHP 5.1.5 and PHP 4.4.4. The two releases address a series of security problems discovered since PHP 5.1.4 and 4.4.3, respectively. These include the following: - Added missing safe_mode/open_basedir checks inside the error_log(), file_exists(), imap_open() and imap_reopen() functions. - Fixed overflows inside str_repeat() and wordwrap() functions on 64bit systems. - Fixed possible open_basedir/safe_mode bypass in cURL extension and on PHP 5.1.5 with realpath cache. - Fixed overflow in GD extension on invalid GIF images. - Fixed a buffer overflow inside sscanf() function. - Fixed an out of bounds read inside stripos() function. - Fixed memory_limit restriction on 64 bit system. In addition to the security fixes, both releases include a small number of non-security related bug fixes. The outlined issues can only be exploited locally, however, we still recommend that all users upgrade to either one of the new releases as soon as possible.

And it's insecure because you have to cache the users credentials in the user's session. LDAP can authenticate with Active Directory just fine: The question is how secure is it. You can set up LDAP to use SSL, so that would make it more secure. Kerberos is more secure than LDAP, and you _could_ set it up so that the browser forwards the ticket on to mod_kerb for authentication, thus not needing a sign-on other than to the domain. From my experiences that isn't exactly easy to set up though. I didn't say it wouldn't work but people should understand there are numerous problems with using LDAP bind functions as some kind of make-shift authentication serivce. 1) It's insecure. To make it remotely fast enough you would need to store something in the user's session to prevent excessive communication with AD in which case if someone were able to get the user's PHPSESSID, a cookie, or sniff the session id they could gain access to the site (possibly with the user's credentials if those are stored in the session). And whatever you do don't use ldap_bind because those credentials are passed in clear text so a sniffer could collect passwords. At least use ldap_sasl_bind or do a TLS connection. 2) It's slow. Kerberos does not require communication between the web server and AD. With LDAP you would need to communicate with AD at least once for every new session. Otherwise, yeah it would work.

[PHP] Session issues
Hi all, I am currently writing a web application that has a 3-stage form process as part of its functionality. The values passed in are placed in the session array after validation and once the user has completed and supplied all required values the relevant session values are inserted into the database. I have tested it on three different machines in FF, IE and Opera and all expected values were entered ok. However, a remote user has started testing and all values are blank, suggesting the session is not being populated. I noticed it at their office last week when data values were not showing up when the user went back one page (ie fields are pre-populated with existing session values). Anyone had this problem before? -- http://www.web-buddha.co.uk http://www.projectkarma.co.uk

Re: [PHP] Re: Session issues
Trust me, there is far too much code to include. The problem is simple. The app contains a 3-page form cycle that reloads itself, progressing from stage 1-3 and populating the session array as values are validated and cleaned. When the process is complete, the values held in the session array are inserted into the database. In FF, IE and Opera in my test installation, I can navigate back and forth through the pages and previously entered values persist and at the end are entered. The user testing elsewhere on IE does not see these persistent values and the data entered at the end is all default or blank. I just wanted to know if anyone could spot the issue from experience, otherwise I need a rethink!

What's the difference between xmlrpc_decode and xmlrpc_decode_request? _request takes an extra parameter, $method, but I can't figure out what kind of effect it has. I can pass a totally bogus parameter to it. What's the difference between these two functions, and what does the $method parameter do?

(although not object related).
Normally I would do this:
?php
function do_something($input)
{
if($input == 'hello')
{
return $input;
}
else
{
return false;
}
}
$result = do_something('hello');
if($result !== false)
{
// do something with $result
}
else
{
// do some other stuff
}
?
Using the same function above I discovered I can do this:
?php
if($result = do_something('hello'))
{
// do something with $result
}
else
{
// do some other stuff
}
?
The issue is whether or not this is a safe test. My initial thought is
that it is safe since I'm simply checking for true/false-ness. I either
check for '!== false' explicitly or (in the case of the latter example)
check that something other than 'false' is returned.
It's slightly less readable but it seems more efficient (if nothing more
than to save on the number of lines typed).
Thoughts?
Chris.

Better to do this:
if ( ($result = do_something('hello')) !== false )
{
// do something with $result
}
else
{
// do some other stuff
}
The result of an assignment like $result = do_something('hello') is
itself the result you assigned, so you can still compare on that. The
reason I put it in more brackets was just for readability. I don't think
you actually need the extra set, but I'm not sure.

Chris:
You can shorten it even further by:
if(do_something('hello'))
{
// do something with $result
}
else
{
// do some other stuff
}
I don't think it's any different than calling any other function that
returns whatever or false.
I tried it out at --
http://xn--ovg.com/a14.php
-- with both pass and fail. All worked the same in all three ways.

I'm guessing you missed the content of the comment Tedd... he actually
needs the $result :D

Re: [PHP] Looking for caveats to the following code
Tedd,
Actually, he seems to be needing the return value of the function inside the
if block. So, he would need to do:
if ($result = do_something('hello'))
or, as Adam stated:
if ( ($result = do_something('hello')) !== false )
Regards.

This actually won't work because $result is not being assigned anywhere.
Ahhh yes , I didn't catch that. Sorry to all.

Your page should show the source, otherwise it's impossible to tell
what's happening.
I didn't think that necessary considering that I posted what I was
doing. But, I posted it again in my example -- please review:
http://xn--ovg.com/a14.php
I see now why I got the same result as you -- $result was never cleared.
Yeah, I guess as long as I'm just testing for true or false it'll be ok.
The example isn't checking for true/false but rather not-null/false
Cheers.

Thanks for the exercise.

Excellent Thanks! I'd add this to it:
echo(pre);
foreach ($abrev as $abbreviation = $statename)
{
echo '.$abbreviation.' =
'.ucwords(strtolower($statename)).',\n;
}
echo(/pre);
Oh, and also that you have to be careful and use the 'save as' feature on
windows machines so as not to get funky \r\n instead of \n and then the
parser won't work. :)
