[PHP] fixed - Re: page cannot be displayed after a post of form with over80 post elements
managed to found out the cause. it was the cookies. it got overloaded with data and exceed the 4k limit. the cookies was storing preferences for too many users thus it break the limit. B.C.

[PHP] Copy Paste URL was [Re: [PHP] Would appreciate thoughts on sessionmanagement ]
one reason that i could think of for not including session id into URL and using cookies would be copy paste. users could just copy and paste the url and send it to his/her friends. and it could be a considerably number of people. imagine couple of people clicking on the link. that session will be shared among that no. of active people at that particular time. in short, session hijacking will occur.

Of course you could always check if the hidden fields are still ok, using some md5 or whetever, but why the hassle? If you don't want cookies (I too don't use them for a session and have disabled session cookies in our php.ini), PHP will transparently merge the session identifier into its output (as long as you don't use ob_gzhandler, that is). But why don't you like the session ID magled into links? prefer not to use a database - that's not the case with standard php sessions, they get written to a file somewhere. Just make sure that this somewhere is a) read/writable by apache b) not read/writable by anyone else and you are (relatively) secure. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] Re: All Queries TRUE even when they should be FALSE
you should use mysql_num_rows() to check for records returned instead of
using mysql_query().
this is because if $query is a valid $sql statement, mysql_query() will
always return a resource link. which evaluates to true.
so this will work for you:
if (mysql_num_rows($result))
echo record found;
else
echo record not found;

It doesn't work! I can't figure out why.
It starts storing fine and then it seems messing up with values so it
recognises as already stored only the variables of my first choice (the
value stored at bkmks[0])... I tried to print values stored in the
array: the output is a mess I don't know why!
Thanks a lot !

Re: [PHP] passing an array in a link
from my experience, you don't really have to worry much on the space issue. is the delimiter to determine that the string terminates and a new argument begins next. and very often, the browser will do an auto conversion from space to %20 when you click on the link.

you might wanna use this instead:
$result = mysql;

$result will always hold an int value if the query does not contain any
error. so doing a num_rows on it will be more accurate in telling you if
records are been retrieved.

[PHP] Re: Random mirrors and download quota
how about using the counter to store an id of the mirrors instead of randomly picking one? this will provide you a sequential traverse through all mirror sites. if there are 10 sites, the counter will always be from 0 - 9. this way each mirror site will have equal share on hits. so if the counter == 2, your script will know that the next hit will be to mirror site 2. $_nextSite = (isset($_nextSite))?++$_nextSite % 10:0; the above code will always ensure the counter counts from: 0 - 9 - 0 - ... this way, you can store all counters (into database?) on the main site for all mirrors.

Hello, I have a script (at bottom) that, upon loading, will randomly select a mirror or primary server (on average, the primary servers will be selected twice as much).

I have thought about storing a text file for each of the two mirrors that shows the current count of downloads, and it will be checked if the mirror is randomly selected and if it is above 1200, will randomly select another server, and if it isn't, will just add one to it and update the file.

Re: [PHP] does a form submit from a http page to a https ensure securedata?
thanks for the insights. :) basically the 2 files are from 2 different domains saving to the same database server. the 2 sites share the same userbase. and when the registration form is submitted to the 2nd site, upon successful registration, it will redirect back to the 1st site and display a success page. otherwise it will redirect back to the 1st site and prompting them an error. you probably wonder why the complexity of the above scenario. basically the 2nd site has a ssl cert while the 1st site doesn't. so as a cost saving measure, the 1st site will be using the 2nd site's ssl cert to complete the user registration process. hope the above make sense to you. lance Michael Sweeney wrote: Your form action parameter has an absolute url specifying an https protocol. When the browser submits the form, it uses the url you specify which is https. So the request is going to be encrypted. You might consider serving the form page from https as well to kind of tighten things up a little, but the data will be posted under https which is an encrypted connection. Your main problem is going to be the fact that the http and https services are accessing two different file system spaces (or they should be unless you've got your server badly misconfigured) so the http://...register.php is going to be a different file from the https://...register.php.
