[PHP] Problems to login via POST on a external site.

2006-11-23 Thread Benny Pfitzner
Hallo,

I know that this is a little bit of topic but I don't know any better place to 
post my Problem.
I want to automatically POST values to the site: http://clever-tanken.de , a 
german site to view fuleprices of gas stations in your area.
I watched the traffic I captured with wireshark an found two POST values that I 
can't find in the HTML code.

The POST values are x= and y=.
You can find the block here: http://pastebin.ca/raw/255964

It is the start site where you can login to change your data.

The traffic shows:
user=seppl2&pass=seppl2&x=72&y=13
but I don't know where the x and y values are from. They also change every time.

The full HTML you can find here: http://pastebin.ca/255968 or just log on to 
http://clever-tanken.de

Maybe someone will find the Time to help me. You can log in with:
user=seppl2
passwd=seppl2

Thanks Ben

  $record[1] = "230 10 10003";
  $record[2] = "MY NAME";
  $record[3] = "30";
  $record[4] = "3002 ";
  $add = dbase_add_record ($db, $record);
  if ($add) {
echo ('Success');
  } else {
echo ('Fail');
  }

And then I want replace the record with this one, the syntax looks similar
but I don't why it's not work. I wait for about 15 minutes and my browser
still proceed and display nothing :
  $record[0] = "2628";
  $record[1] = "230 10 10003";
  $record[2] = "NAME";
  $record[3] = "50";
  $record[4] = "5002";
  $change = dbase_replace_record ($db, $record, 1);
  if ($change) {
echo ('Success');
  } else {
echo ('Fail');
  }

Anyone could help me?

RE: [PHP] Loading PHP module on Win98

2001-04-30 Thread Benny

I downloaded the distribution from www.php.net, so it's from the same
distribution but it doesn't work. What should I do?

Regards;

Benny.

-Original Message-

Subject: Re: [PHP] Loading PHP module on Win98


The dbase module you are trying to install does not match the version of
php. If you get the extension from the same distribution as the php modules
then it should work. You can get the full distribution zip for 4.0.4pl1 from
the downloads page at www.php.net at the moment. You may be able to get
4.0.5 later today if all goes to plan.

Cheers

PS When you do get it working you still may have problems since you have
configured PWS to use the ISAPI module which you may find to be pretty
unstable. I would advise use of the CGI version of PHP if things are a bit
flakey.

[PHP] Loading PHP module on Win98

2001-04-29 Thread Benny

I have a problem on intializing PHP module.
I've installed PHP on my windows 98 system. I used PWS.
I placed php on c:/Php.
My home directory is c:/Inetpub/myfolder.
This is the php.ini, Paths and Directories section :
  doc_root  =   "c:/Inetpub/myfolder"
  extension_dir =   "c:/Php/extensions"
This is the registry :

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\w3svc\parameters\Scrip
t Map]
  ".php"="c:\\Php\\sapi\\php4isapi.dll"
When I try phpinfo(), I received message like this :
  dbase: Unable to initialize module
  Module compiled with debug=0, thread-safety=1 module API=20001214
  PHP compiled with debug=0, thread-safety=1, module API=2609
  These options need to match
That's for dbase module, and for the others module it gave the same result.

Anyone could help me to solve this problem ?

Regards;

Benny.

Re: [PHP] sleep and usleep not working ??

Hi

Sorry - but as far as I can tell it does not work. It still have the same
strange behavior.
When using sleep I have no output. Usleep has no wait time (or it may delay
output a bit but not program execution) ?

[PHP] sleep and usleep not working ??

2001-01-23 Thread Benny Nissen

Hi All

I have tried to get this to work but it does not produce any output in the
browser - why

$i = 1;
while ($i)
{
 if(connection_aborted())
  break;

 echo $i;
 echo "";
$i++;

 sleep(1);
//usleep(1000);
}

It turns out that the sleep and usleep does not return as far as I can tell.
If I use usleep the wait time parameter have no affect on program execution
??
Tried this on both Windows and Linux.

[PHP] How can I make a PHP script run as a background process ????

2001-01-22 Thread Benny Nissen

Hi All

I need to have some task performed all the time in the background (database
task etc.)
How is this possible with PHP. I do not have direct access to the OS (can
not make an application to run directly under linux). Is it possible to have
a PHP script execute all the time in some way.

Thanks
Benny

NB: Linux and Apache as system underneath.

[PHP] How can I "download" information (file) without standard "save as" dialog ??

2001-01-16 Thread Benny Nissen

Hi All

I am unable to find the correct solution (where to start) with this 
problem. We are an Open Source group developing an ECC based 
(elliptic curve) public key cryptography alternative to PGP. For this 
project we need a public database to store the public keys in with 
search facilities and the possibility to import the selected records 
to a local private database. We have tried to keep all things very 
open and extendable and I have tried to define an interface to the 
shared database that will allow it to be independent from the actual 
application (the database can be replaced without any changes to 
the database protocol). I will use MySQL and PHP for the server  
side work.

For more information please see:

or
http://www.pegwit.org (not working yet)

To download the current GUI front-end download:

I have come to the conclusion to base it on a standard protocol like 
the one used in HTML and URL with web browsers. This is mainly 
because I then can simplify the shared database protocol to 2 
basic actions (export a key(s) and import keys). All selection etc. 
is a job for the browser and not for the local application. The 
protocol is also very portable and will be easy to implement on 
many platforms.

It is easy to export a public key record to the web server with a 
search URL like: (http://site.xx/?name1=value1&name2=value2 
etc.)

My main problem is to find a way to export the selected records 
from the browser and import them into the local database (you may 
have a solution). The only solution I have found is to pass the IP 
address and port with the URL when the browser is initialized and 
start a IP server in the local application that will wait and receive the
selected records from the web server when the end user press a 
specific button in the selection web page (server then act as a IP 
client and connect to the local server to deliver the selected 
records)

A more simple and also portable solution is to download a file with 
the selections made. My main problem with this approach is the 
"save as" dialog that will come up in all cases (you may have a 
workaround this problem). If the dialog is not shown up the 
download destination (directory) need to be passed to the server 
when the session is initialized so that the web browser knows 
where to save the information. Is this possible with PHP ???

Thanks in advance.
Benny
