Yes but this file does not exist. It is just to use for my queries. so I
think I cannot use the file_exists function. Which other function I would
use to do this?
I already have setup the .htaccess file to point also to a 404 page. but
this works only if the URL is totally wrong. like
www.arubaguide.org/blabla
but not www.arubaguide.org/categories.php?catcode=blabla
Try something like that:
?php
define(HTML,html/);
define(INC,inc/);
$ext = array (php,html,htm);
$exists = false;
foreach($ext as $file_ext) {
if ( file_exists ( HTML.$_GET[catcode]...$file_ext ) )
{
$exists = true;
break;
}
}
if ( ! ( $exists ) ){
include ( 404.php );
don't forget the exit here:
exit;
that's why it displays all the stuff later on

[PHP] Example from www.php.net
I was trying Example 2147, which reads:
---
?php
$string = XML
a xmlns:b
foo name=one game=lonely1/foo
/a
XML;
$xml = simplexml_load_string($string);
foreach($xml-foo[0]-attributes() as $a = $b) {
echo $a,'=',$b,\\n;
}
?
---
It says that 'The above example will output:
name=one
game=lonely'
However, in my case it outputs nothing.
(I'm running php-5.1.6 under Fedora-6.)
Is there an error in the example;
or is the error mine?

[PHP] Problems with mail
Hi,
I have this very straight forward code to send an e-mail:
$subject_users_subscription_confirmation = Subscription confirmation;
$message_users_subscription_confirmation = 'Please, click this link to
confirm your subscritpion:
http://www.telbit.pt/subscribe-confirm.php?email=' . $email . 'conf=' .
$barfles;
mail($email, $subject_users_subscription_confirmation,
$message_users_subscription_confirmation);
The three variables are ok, as i debuged them with prints, but no mail
is sent.
If i do a test with
mail('[EMAIL PROTECTED]', 'Hello', 'Hello');
then the mail is sent ok!
I'm driving nuts here.
Can someone give me a hand on this, please ?
Warm Regards

You'd better ask your answer in MySQL forum/mailing-list. But have you tried to insert your value using MySQL Query Browser? If you can't do that there, it's a problem which is unrelated to PHP. On the other hand, I remember you talked about the type of that column to be char(2). Have you specified what encoding it's using? Moreover, I hope you're not using legacy encoding like Big5 or GB.

Line 15 is this line:

and line 18 has:
$diff0_1 = $timeinfo[1] - $timeinfo[0];
What I am trying to do is subtract $timeinfo[1] from $timeinfo[0] and
then display the difference.
When I echo $timeinfo it just says array so my thinking is that the
errors are caused by the array not being populated properly based on
the extra [ or a missing ]. Am I at least on the right track?

If you mean that you only want one date for each month (you'll end up
with the last one), then it's very simple:
foreach ($dates as $date) {
preg_match('/[a-z]{3} \d{4}/i', $date, $m);
$newDates[$m[0]] = $date;
}
If you're really averse to regex, you could use date('Y-m',
strtotime($date)) there instead, but I suspect that would perform far worse.

Re: [PHP] php 5 upgrade and background script on unix
don't fork webserver processes, granted it doesn't fix the problem, but you
really
should be doing it anyway.
I'm guessing that the pcntl extension is not compiled into the webserver php
SAPI,
it's a really big guess because you didn't supply the code you use to do the
forking with.
Ok then you want to have the fork code!
I'm doing a complete example
My script is forking on itself.
So from my browser I go on:
http://localhost/test_fork.php
My code in test_fork.php is :
?
$in = get_shell_args($_SERVER['argv']); // DONT PAY ATTENTION TO THAT
FUNCTION, it a made home function
if($in['bg']) {
print HERE;
sleep(30);
}
else {
print forking;
`/usr/local/bin/php /www/admin.gammacash.com/test/test_fork.php bg=1
21 /var/log/test.log `
}
?
So Im assuming that the fork will get the bg argument, in this case I
should receive HERE in /var/log/test.log (did tail -f
/var/log/test.log while I was running the script)
I've put a sleep 30 seconds to get the fork PID number.
Unfortunately, when I do execute test_fork.php from the web, it wont
execute itself in background.
This method was running fine with my old config.
The script works perfectly because if Im executing test_fork.php from
the shell, the fork is working fine!

Re: [PHP] imagecreate() question
Did you try making it transparent first, before adding the circle? Only a question because I'm not sure if it will make a difference. I know I had problems trying to get the alpha blending to actually look decent in png's (ended up looking like a very poor gif with a non- antialiased mask) and I think I eventually gave up and put the image on a white background. But that was six months to a year ago and anything more than two weeks out is all but forgotten, old-timers disease I think.

[PHP] Security: Passing URLs between pages for redirect
Hi. Currently I'm building a small application for internal office use but I'd like to get some feedback on a certain aspect of it. When someone tries to access a page they do not have access to they are redirected to the login page with the URL they tried to access in the querystring. This URL is then snuck into the login form as a hidden variable (called 'nexturl') so they can be sent back to the page they came from after a successful login. I can see this happening when someone bookmarks one of their own pages and then tries to go directly there after their session has ended. Instead of making them navigate all the way back to that page I figure I'll just send them directly. My question for the list is: Are there any validation checks I should do on the 'nexturl' variable before it is used as a redirect? The only situation I can come up with where this could be exploited is if someone sends a malicious URL through email to another employee with the intention of course being that after they successfully login they will be redirected to desired URL. Are there any best practices for this kind of thing? Would it be enough to verify that the page being redirected to is within my own domain?

[PHP] Cannot remove PHP Version 5.2.1-0.dotdeb.1
This probably belongs under php-install, but thought I would try here first, and it comes under the general header of Be careful what you wish for. On a new Ubuntu (Debian) server I installed this version of PHP because I wanted some 5.2 features. It's the hardened version, and not the one we want. I have done the conventional aptitude remove php5, and then went to all of the directories returned by whereis php5 and manually removed them. I've rebooted both the server and my own computer, and still a http://localhost/phpinfo.php returns the phpinfo() data AND shows configuration file paths: etc/php5/apache2 and /etc/php5/apache2/conf.d which have been deleted. Does anyone have experience with this beastie? A steer in the right direction would be appreciated, especially as I set up a new server about once every decade or so. Cheers - Miles

RE: [PHP] Downloads for subsrcibers only
Look at mod_auth_mysql. Then authenticate your pdf directory against that database of users. Otherwise anyone who knows the direct link to your PDF can download it, bypassing all your 'subscription' security. -Original Message- From: Mário Gamito [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, April 01, 2007 1:54 AM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] Downloads for subsrcibers only Hi, I made this site in PHP that has a page with some PDFs to download. My costumer wants that only subscribed people are allowed to download the PDFs. I've already made the subscrbe and login mechanism. Now, my question for you is about letting only subscribers download the PDFs. What is the best approach ? Register a session when they login and then in the PDFs page apply a if email is registered you can download the PDFs else you can't Something like this ? Or is it there a better way ?

Re: [PHP] pg_last_error()
Miguel J. Jiménez wrote: Hello, the question is simple... After I try to free a resultset in postgres using pg_free_result() it returns false ... Can I use pg_last_error() to get the cause of this last error? I have tried but it returns an empty string and I do not know if it is because I cannot use pg_last_error() thus. Thanks a lot... pg_free_result tells you whether memory was free'd up or not. pg_last_error tells you the last error message from postgresql. They aren't related, so you can't use pg_last_error to work out why pg_free_result didn't work. Do you have a small test script that fails to free memory?

Re: [PHP] Problems with mail

Hi,
I have this very straight forward code to send an e-mail:
$subject_users_subscription_confirmation = Subscription confirmation;
$message_users_subscription_confirmation = 'Please, click this link to
confirm your subscritpion:
http://www.telbit.pt/subscribe-confirm.php?email=' . $email . 'conf=' .
$barfles;
mail($email, $subject_users_subscription_confirmation,
$message_users_subscription_confirmation);
The three variables are ok, as i debuged them with prints, but no mail
is sent.
If i do a test with
mail('[EMAIL PROTECTED]', 'Hello', 'Hello');
then the mail is sent ok!
So mail() works, which means you're doing something wrong or your host
is blocking the email or spam filters are catching it.
If you're on a test machine, watch the mail logs and see if that gives
you any clues about what's going on.

[PHP] secure database info in different environments
Hi, I have a generic database class that I built to connect to our different databases. From other posts that I've read, I think the safe thing is for me to put this file outside the web root, ensure it has a .php extension, set the include path to include this folder and include it in any pages that require it. Is this correct? Also, how do you handle the different environments: dev, test, and prod? I don't want to have to change the code every time I copy the file over. Do I have an independent file that determines if that folder should point to dev/test/prod? Thanks for your help.

However, in my case it outputs nothing.

I see that the example does work if I substitute
a for a xmlns:b.
[I'm not sure what effect the xmlns:b has?]
