[PHP] Looking for complete entered URL
I've written a script that logs all visits to a web site, complete with referrer and IP address. It also logs all 4xx errors. What I'd like to add to this is, if someone adds extra code after the page_name.php, to be able to capture any extra code and log that. I've tried: $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] $_SERVER['REDIRECT_QUERY_STRING'] $_SERVER['REDIRECT_URL'] but nothing seems to get logged. Is there a way, when either a false url is entered and a 404 is generated, or just when someone tacks on extra code to the URL, that I can grab that extra info? I'm looking for the complete URL that was entered by the user, not anything returned by the server. I've created my own 4xx_error.php files which calls my tracking script, along with creating the proper ErrorDocument lines in the main .htaccess file. There are a lot of pages that have come up in my search, but nothing seems to pertain to what I'm trying to do. Thank you, Angela BTW, I know about Piwik and I use that, as well. This is something I'm doing on my own. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Detecting massive web hits
Does anyone know if there's a ready-made script that detects if someone hits multiple web pages within seconds of each other and then can temporarily ban them by IP from accessing our site? Looking through the logs, I see someone/something hit each and every page of a site I work on within only a few seconds of each other. I seriously doubt they are a customer. ;) I'd appreciate any insights. Thank you, Angela -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

The latter asks Is this key in the array? whereas isset() adds and is its value not null? While isset() is every-so-slightly faster, this should not be a concern. Use whichever makes sense for the context here. Hi David, Thank you for the explanation. It's nice to know the difference between them. Since they are equivalent for my use, I went with array_key_exists, simply because it makes more sense to me in English. ;) Thanks again to everyone.

[PHP] Mystery foreach error
I've been getting the following error for awhile now, but I can't
figure out why it's happening:
Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in ... sample.php on line 377
Here's that portion of code:
include(states_zipcodes.php);
// Check if Zip Code matches from states_zipcodes
$zip_short = substr($zip, 0, 3);
foreach ($states[$state] as $zip_prefix) { // -- line 377
if ($zip_prefix == $zip_short) {
break;
} else {
$match = 'no';
}
}
It doesn't happen all the time, so I'm thinking that some spambot is
populating the HTML form with something the script doesn't like(?). However, I
tested that myself by entering text, or by entering just 2 digits, but there
was no error. FYI, I do have code in the script that catches faulty input and
warns people in their browser to go back and re-enter the correct data, so I'm
at a loss as to why this is happening.
How can I see what's triggering this to happen? I have the following
line in my php.ini:
error_reporting = E_ALL E_STRICT E_NOTICE E_DEPRECATED
Thank you,
Angela

Here's a sample: ?php $states = array( 'AL' = array( '350','351','352','353', ), 'AK' = array( '995','996','997','998','999', ), 'AZ' = array( '850','851','852','853','854', ), ... 'WI' = array( '530','531','532', ), 'WY' = array( '820','821','822','823','824', ), ); ? side effects if you don't act carefully with it. I don't remember where that came from, but for the most part, this script works perfectly. However, I removed it and will test without it.

Re: [PHP] Mystery foreach error
I think I figured it out.
?php
$states = array(
'AL' = array( '350','351','352','353', ),
'AK' = array( '995','996','997','998','999', ),
'AZ' = array( '850','851','852','853','854', ),
'WI' = array( '530','531','532', ),
'WY' = array( '820','821','822','823','824', ),
);
$zip = 35261;
$state = 'XX';
$zip_short = substr($zip, 0, 3);
foreach ($states[$state] as $zip_prefix) {
if ($zip_prefix == $zip_short) {
echo State = $state;
} else {
echo 'no';
}
}
?
Running this script, I got the same error as before. If $state is a
known state abbreviation in the array, everything is fine, but if someone was
to enter, say 'XX' like I did above or leave it blank, then the error is
produced. I placed an if statement around the foreach loop to test for that
and I'll keep an eye on it.
Thank you for getting me to look at the array again, which led me to
look at the State.

[PHP] UNLESS Statement Equivalent
I'm looking for an 'unless' statement, but as far as I can tell, PHP
doesn't have one. Hopefully someone can help me rewrite my statement.
In English, I want to say: always do something UNLESS these 3
conditions are met.
The best I've been able to come up with in PHP is this:
if ( ($current_page == $saved_page) and ($current_ip == $saved_ip) and
($current_dt ($saved_dt + 3600)) ) {
return;
} else {
$query = UPDATE `table` SET `hits` = '$count', `agent` = '$agent',
`ts` = '$date_time' WHERE `page` = '$page';
$result = mysql_query($query) or die ('Error! -- ' . mysql_error());
}
However, I've read where this is not really acceptable. Can someone
help me eliminate the 'else' portion of this if statement?
Thank you,
Angela
P.S. I realize the above isn't complete code but it should still be clear. If
not, let me know.

Hello Ash,
This makes sense to me, but I can't get it to work, so I'm either not
understanding it or I'm asking the wrong question. Here's a complete scriptlet:
?php
$saved_page = 'ddd';
$page = 'ddd';
$saved_ip = '1.1.1.1';
$ip = '1.1.1.1';
$saved_dt = '2013-03-11 11:11:11';
$current_dt = '2013-03-11 11:22:11';
if ( !( ($current_page == $saved_page) and ($current_ip == $saved_ip) and
($current_dt ($saved_dt + 3600)) ) ) {
echo 'Save results.';
} else {
echo Don't save.;
}
?
Using the supplied data, the result should be Don't save. Can you
see what's wrong?

Too bad there's not a 'use strict' pragma. I would also suggest keeping with your original statement to return early and return often. Its best to exit out of your functions sooner than later. Specially if its a large function. O.K. I just thought there might be a more elegant way of doing it. I at least got rid of the else statement like you mentioned. Thanks for your help, Angela

[PHP] Not counting my own page visits
Hello, I have a script that counts hits to all the pages in my site and emails me a report nightly. However, it also counts my visits to my site, and when I'm coding, I'm hitting a lot of my pages, repeatedly. I'd like to find a way to not count my page visits. At first, I thought about adding a parameter to each URL and parsing that in the script, but that would get old real fast, and also, I may forget to add it each time. Is there a way to tell the script to ignore my visits? Thank you, Angela -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

I don't know why, but I can't get cookies to work. Here's a script I'm
calling from my browser:
?php
$domain = ($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] != 'localhost') ? $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] :
false;
$cookie = setcookie('test2', '123' , time()+60*60*24*30, '/', $domain);
?
!DOCTYPE html
html lang=en
head
meta charset=utf-8 /
titleTest Page/title
/head
body
?php echo 'Cookie is: '.$_COOKIE[$cookie].br; ?
?php echo 'Domain is: '.$domain.br; ?
/body
/html
The domain is being displayed but the cookie is not. There's no cookie
in the browser prefs, either. What am I doing wrong?

Re: [PHP] Complex MySQL query for lowest price

[PHP] Complex MySQL query for lowest price
Hello,
I have a formula that says, if 'specialprice' is not empty and it is
lower than 'unitprice', use 'specialprice', otherwise use 'unitprice':
?php $result = mysql_query(SELECT
LEAST(unitprice,ifnull(specialprice,'')) AS used_price FROM catalog WHERE
itemid='WB1836C',$db);
printf('bfont color=#55Your Price:/font $%s/bbr /',
number_format(mysql_result($result,0,used_price),2)); ?
What I'd like is to add a starting and ending date and if today's date
is between those dates, then do the above formula, otherwise if today's date is
not between those dates, then just use 'unitprice'.
This is starting to get too complex for me, so I need some help. ;)
Hopefully this makes sense. If I need to be clearer, please let me know.
Thanks!
