Re: [PHP] Please help on session_destroy error...
You problem is probably right here:
session.gc_maxlifetime = 1800
That sets the garbage collection timeout to 30 minutes...
Per the manual:
session.gc_maxlifetime specifies the number of seconds after which data
will be seen as 'garbage' and cleaned up.
It is not strictly followed, but PHP does it's best to destroy data
after that timeout elapses. This would explain why sometimes you can
last an hour without getting the error. If you want your timeout to be 3
hours, then I would set that value to something like 11,000 (which is
just a little over 3 hours).

not being found

session_unset();
if (!empty($_SESSION['logged_in'])) {
session_destroy();

}
The only other code is simple HTML output. The session variable logged_in
is set upon successful login initially. My rationale for that variable is
that if the session file gets removed via the garbage collector, then that
check above should fail, and the session_destroy function won't be called.
But this doesn't seem to ever work. Is there anything I'm missing here? Any

Re: [PHP] How New Is HERE?

Probably something simple, but hopefully the document above will help you. Another resource which gives a decent guide to HEREDOC's is the fairly new book Core PHP Programming Third Edition. It's been a while since I read it, but if memory serves it has atleast a page or two on it's usage.

The problem is not showing progress but rather tracking progress. What you seem to not be understanding is that PHP handles uploads internally. So, by the time a PHP script that gets the submitted upload form starts running, the upload was already ended and the uploaded files were copied to some temporary files. PHP itself does not give you a chance to track the progress of the upload because that is something handled at the HTTP request level. The Perl solution is based on a script that handles and tracks the upload and another that shows the progress. That is why you need to show progress in a popup or a separate frame. -Original Message- From: Manuel Lemos [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, December 23, 2003 12:46 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [PHP] Re: progress in PHP Hello, On 12/23/2003 03:31 PM, James Kaufman wrote: Join the 11,000 people who use megaupload progress bar (with a little help from perl) http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/megaupload/ I tried.

$db = new database();
and then pass the reference to all other classes like this:
class smarty

var $db;
function smarty($db)

This way you don't have the wasted memory of duplicate class instances.

Out of curiousity, what exactly are you trying to do? Are you sure this

In my current setup, the more classes Im adding to the code, the more
complex things seem to get.
For example.
I have a smarty object that has a reference to a DB object.
I plan on converting a file of user management functions to a class.
If I do, then that new class, is going to need a reference to the DB object.
Then on top of that, the smarty object is going to need a reference to
the user management object.
By the time we are here, the smarty object contains a reference to the
DB object, *and*
a reference to the user management object which contains a reference to
the DB object.
And thats just the beginning. There are other classes that intertwine
in this manner.
So what I would I forsee as a better playing ground would be
1. child classes being capable of talking to each other
For example, the smarty class capable of calling the DB class and the
user management class
without the need for all those redundant *large* references.
2. The parent class capable of talking to the child classes.
In this context, parent and child is not to be thought of as in normal
class structures where children *extends* parents.
All the *parent* class is, a means to provide wrappers around other
*child* classes,
and act as a controller. The *child* methods/variables,
aren't/shouldn't be called directly.
Also, if I can work it out, the class mm would only intially contain a
constructor, and maybe a
class loader.
The class loader provides the additional class method wrappers on demand
when needed.
This is merely an first rate idea. Nothing is remotely concrete about it.
Thanks for looking.

Re: [PHP] OO parent/child relationship
I would have to see your code, but maybe you don't need to be passing
the references your doing. Why does your Smarty class need to access the
database? Why does your Smarty class need a reference to the user
management class inside it? Personally, I see your user class being the
only one which needs to access either one. Your user class should have
am instance of both because your user class should be what pulls the
data from the database, and then pushes it to the Smarty class for
display. Maybe I am way off here, but essentially that is how it should
be done IMHO.

Re: [PHP] Full view of active sessions
Here is a possible solution, but I don't know if it will work for your purposes: When a user logs in to your site, as part of the session store a random string (say a logincheck). Also insert this value into the database on the same row as the username/password is stored. Then on every page load check and make sure that logincheck string is valid. If someone tries to login again, the new logincheck will be stored in the database, and thus will make the first session invalid. The only drawback to this approach is that it logs out the first user, and doesn't notify the second user they shouldn't be logging in twice. It still does the job of allowing only one login per user quite effectively though. Jeremy On Tue, 2003-09-23 at 17:38, Ney André de Mello Zunino wrote: Hello.

At present, I can't think of another way of doing it other than directly accessing the session files on /tmp (assuming session data is being stored in files).

[PHP] Updated PayPal IPN class for PHP
Unfortunately it seems PayPal has broke IPN processing for PHP users recently. This is important news because a good majority of the people using IPN with a PHP script are no longer able to automatically process payments, and PayPal offers nothing to help PHP users who are having trouble. In fact they claim that they changed nothing and that it is the user's fault that it suddenly stopped working one day. The problem actually is that PayPal now seems to require your IPN script to follow a http redirection. After trying almost everything, within reason, to avoid this redirection, it seems no matter whether you use GET or POST and HTTP or HTTPS they force you to follow the redirect. The solution to this problem is to use cURL so PHP can follow the redirection and thus get the VERIFIED or INVALID response from PayPal. A new PHP class which works perfectly with the current PayPal IPN (and should always work even if they fix the bug) is available at http://www.scriptdevelopers.net. It is a modified version of the class by Pineapple Technologies which is commonly used all over the Internet and is a drop in replacement for their paypal_ipn.php class. If you use a class named paypal_ipn.php, then most likely you will need to get this updated version.

I wish I would be able to attend, but unfortunately money is tight right now for me, and I can't afford it. I most likely will be speaking at the next one (assuming they accept my submission when it comes time) and money won't be an issue. Jeremy P.S. - In regards to the email below, if you did that you would have to factor in extra gas money, and $10 a day for WIFI access from the hotel. On Mon, 2003-09-15 at 21:23, John W.

Factor in everything else, and your easily up to $1500-$2000. Using the average salary which was posted in this thread, that is about a months pay after taxes for an average programmer.
