[PHP] AD authentication
-- I was wondering if anyone had any experience, suggestions, advice or pointers regarding the use of Win 2000 Active Directory servers to authenticate users in PHP scripts hosted on Linux.

Re: [PHP] PHP RTF
I don't know how much use this is for your needs, but I have found Openjade and DocBook to be excellent tools for creating RTF files from XML sources. PHP can be the scripting language used to tie things together, manipulate HTML/XML etc, but basically this solution is outside of PHP I suppose. Mick Quoting [-^-!-%- [EMAIL PROTECTED]: For those of you with experience in using php for RTF documents. I need help generating RTF Style tags from PHP. I can convert regular text to an RTF document, but the document will display RTF Style tags as regular text (in the RTF document). How do I make the RTF document recognize the RTF Style tags. Any help with code samples, tutorials and/or references, will be greatly appreciated. -john =P e p i e D e s i g n s www.pepiedesigns.com Providing Solutions That Increase Productivity Web Developement.

RE: [PHP] class inside class
Thankyou Nilaab and Hatem for the replies. I can see that extending classes is probably the way to go. I was kind of aware of how it works, but didn't see it as an obvious solution. But looking at it more closely, I think I should be able to put most common stuff in a basic class. Different kinds of pages can then be created by extension classes with one or two unique functions, and the rest inherited ... pretty obvious really :) Mick Quoting @ Nilaab [EMAIL PROTECTED]: If these two classes are in separate files then you will need to include one of the classes in with the other class using the include() or require() functions. Have you also used the extends keyword to extend the main class? When you use inheritance properties, you can use the $this- mechanism within the classes to reference all functions of both classes. Read about inheritance of classes for more information. If you already knew the above and it doesn't help you, then just ignore it. I'm just trying to narrow down your problem. Good luck. -Original Message- From: Michael Hall [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, January 13, 2003 12:20 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] class inside class -- G'day: I am using a 'wrapper' class to create all the boilerplate HTML on a website, plus do stuff like authentication and print menus etc according to properties set dynamically within the class.

[PHP] Site Search
I'm wondering what is a good general approach to enabling site-wide searches on any topic on a 100% PHP-powered portal-type site for a tertiary institution (yet to be built). Most if not all content will be contained in a database, spread across potentially many different tables. How can all this stuff be searched efficiently and effectively to hopefully find the punter what they're looking for? Searching the sometimes lengthy main content fields (eg. an academic paper) in every table of the entire database for every search doesn't seem like the way to go. But apart from attempting to add some kind of subjective search term fields to the data, I can't see how else it can be done.

Re: [PHP] include files and global variables
I think that you need to call the checkMaster() function AFTER you declare
it, not before. Try moving checkMaster(); beneath the function
definition.

I have some pages which include a number of files.
In one of the include files I have a function which I wish to be executed
everytime the include file is loaded.
Therefore I place the function name in the include file at the top.
However, this function uses a session variable to decide whether to call
another function and it appears that this variable is not being carried
across. For example, the start of the include file might look like this:-
?php
checkMaster();
function checkMaster()
{
global $master_session;
if ($master_session[db_host])
{
connectToDB();
}
}
function connectToDB()
{
...
The master_session variable is not set and hence connectToDB is never
called.
If I place the checkMaster code in each page that includes this file then it
all works fine. How do I get round this?
Thanks.

Re: [PHP] Password in script
Actually, there is Banother way and you should consider it. Sensitive information like passwords should be kept in a file stored outside the live web content directory (ie, outside DocumentRoot on Apache). This file can then be included in your main file. This way, you can be sure that a misconfigured Apache (accidentally or otherwise) will never send your php scripts out as plain text. This doesn't solve the problem of other users on the same system snooping around your filesystem, though. All the MySQL advice is good advice.

Re: [PHP] Classes Constructor syntax
I'm no guru, but here goes anyway ...
default variable values can simply be set with a var statement:
var $somevar1 = value1;
var $somevar2 = value2;
or with a set function:
var $somevar1;
var $somevar2;
function setsomevar1()
{
$this-somevar1 = value1;
}
function setsomevar2()
{
$this-somevar2 = value2;
}
One set function could probably query a database and set all your vars
in one go:
function setallvars()
{
// query db, get values
$this-somevar1 = value1;
$this-somevar2 = value2;
}
Amyway, you could then call the set var functions from within your
constructor:
function issue()
{
setallvars();
or
setsomevar1();
setsomevar2();
}
Just a suggestion. No doubt someone will correct me if I'm wrong ... I'm
new to OOP myself.

Re: [PHP] Of Jobs and Certs
In my opinion, certification doesn't count for much. The Microsoft certs are proof enough of this, but even many of the Linux certs are pretty shallow when you look at what they cover and how they're tested. Most employers know that you can either do it or you can't. Anecdote: I once asked a networking/hardware professional whether a RedHat certificate would make me more employable in his eyes. No way was his answer, he was more interested in what I could demonstrably do (and had already done) than in the paper. I don't have any advice about how to get into the industry. I have only just joined it after working 10 years as a teacher. I started building sites for community groups, built web apps for schools, got a few paid commercial jobs, built up a portfolio, and finally got a fulltime web development job at a tertiary institution. The ease/difficulty of getting into the industry probably depends greatly on economic circumstances. But I know that in my case, knowing Linux, Apache and PHP/MySQL (plus demonstrable experience, not necessarily commercial) was what clinched it for me. Where I live (NT, Australia), Linux really is making inroads into the mainstream. One thing that might look good on a CV is involvement in an open source project, at whatever level.

Re: [PHP] activating php scripts via cron

[PHP] compiling and php.ini
I've just compiled PHP 4.2.1 with Apache 1.3.24 on RedHat 7.2. Everything works just fine as usual. I've got a couple of queries, however. I compiled with the --enable-magic-quotes option, then figured this was a bad move as I've been caught out before with scripts that assume it is on. So, I copied the php.ini-recommended file to php.ini, and now phpinfo() tells me that magic_quotes_gpc and magic_quotes_runtime are off. So, does compiling with --enable-magic-quotes have any effects if magic quotes are turned off in php.ini? Are they really off? Can all --enable-whatever options be turned on/off in php.ini, regardless of ./configure options? Does the -with-config-file-path option set the expected path to php.ini (I always thought it was to Apache)? How come PHP still works whether the file is there or not?

Re: [PHP] compiling with mysql
OK, thanks for that. I'm about to start a full-time job developing a portal/intranet and what have you for a tertiary education institution, and after 'mucking about' with PHP for a couple of years and developing a few web apps, I realise that there is a lot of detail that I need to get clear before I start, especially config and security-related stuff. I guess there are a lot of people in my situation, who have used PHP for years without having a good grip on some pretty fundamental stuff. The difference now is that it matters - my reputation (and that of PHP I suppose, in my employer's mind at least) is on the line if I muck up. BTW, I've had some people trying to push me in the direction of Zope for this job, but I've had a look at it and simply don't get it's 'Zen'. I'm not knocking it, but I don't see how it betters good, clean OO PHP. Anyway, thanks again.

Re: [PHP] Removing ^M

Re: [PHP] process php script at regular intervals
One way of doing this is to set up a cronjob that has Lynx call the script. There is a flag that is usually added as well ...

[PHP] Post 4.1.0 PHP
I've been using PHP 4.0.1 for ages now, and have decided to upgrade one of my machines to 4.2.1 and get used to working under the new security arrangements. I understand that older scripts are fully compatible with 4.1.0+, or can be made so with minimal fuss. I am assuming that scripts written using the new $_GET and $_POST (etc) arrays simply won't run under pre-4.1.0 versions of PHP. So, where does this leave us with regard to ISPs that still run older versions of PHP (so that users' scripts won't break)? Is there some way to write code using the new arrays, but that will run under older versions of PHP. Would including something like this at the top of a script work: $_POST = $HTTP_POST_VARS; while inside the code reference is made only to $_POST ? Sorry if this has been covered repeatedly, I've only just rejoined the list after a break from the relentless volume (of great, useful info).

Hi All I have a client who has presented me with a near finished website that uses frames. She would like me to build a simple PHP cart into it. I've built simple carts before without drama, but this one has me baffled. I have avoided using frames in almost everything I've done to date and don't understand them that well. I can't figure out how I'm going to maintain a session across the three seperate HTML files in the frameset. Is there a way of doing this, or do I need to pull it all apart and have all the parts just included into one PHP-generated HTML file? I have tried starting a session in the main frameset file, then adding ?=SID? to the URLs of the frame files, which sort of works but breaks where JavaScript is used for buttons in one of the frames. JavaScript doesn't seem to cope with the PHP tags.

Look at how often something like Word or Star Office gets things wrong. 'Hare' is not spelled wrong unless you meant to write 'hair', for example. And spell checkers can't deal with scrambled syntax, etc. Go for a human editor if you want something approaching 100% reliability.

Re: [PHP] Form call a function on submit

interpret shell script-like files with a shebang at the top?
Alternatively, I've read somewhere about using lynx to run a .php cron

Re: [PHP] variables / reading files
OK, thanks for that Chris.
I did get it in the end, with something very similar to what you
suggested:
$message = ;
while ( )
{
$var1 = $row[1];
... etc
$item = $var1 $var2 $var3 etc;
$message = $message . $item . \n;

Your solution is cleaner so I'll change it over. I'd written the whole
cart in one sitting up to then, and was fairly cross-eyed by that stage.

I'm on the final page where the buyer clicks BUY and several things

extract details such as item, price, quantity, subtotal and assign all this
info to one variable:
$var = the output of a while($row = mysql_fetch_array($query)) statement
A
Why I'm trying to do this is I'd like to store all the purchase details in
one variable for inclusion in an email:
$message = $var; // (from above)
mail($address,$subject,$message);
I'd also like to put the info in that same variable into a table that
records actual sales data:
$details = $var;
insert into table ('details') values ('$details');
I know there must be a (probably very easy) way, but just can't crack it.
$result = mysql(DBName,QUERY);
while ($row = mysql_fetch_row($result)) {
$var = $row[0];
$message .= $var;
}
$details = $message
The period and equal sign cause $message to prepend itself to $var.
This is the same thing as writing:
$message = $message.$var;
In either case, $message is preserved and added to on each loop. That
being the case, if you are puting this into an e-mail message, you
probably want to add line breaks after each line:
$message .= $var.\n;

As I understand it, PHP's session management uses cookies anyway unless they are turned off by the browser, in which case session info is attached to the URL. So I'd use sessions rather than cookies alone. Mick On Thu, 21 Jun 2001, Chris Anderson wrote: I am about to write a new admin system for a website I do and it will have many different logins.

==FOLLOW-UP ==-
= PHP Ultradev Browser Model ==
===
FYI
For those who care about the PHP-Ultradev Server Model (PHAKT).
I finally got it to work. Everything works for MySQL.
However, you have to make some manual changes for it to work with MS
Access. The changes are as follow:
1) You have to add the 'Access' or 'ODBC' Connection Type, in the
server model's CONNECTION File
(accessed via Modify-Connection-New).
To do so:
a) open (from the Ultradev Configuration folder)
Connection-PHP-Win-Connection_php_adodb.htm
b) add the value pairs access/access, and/or odbc/odbc, to the
dropdown list for 'Connection Type'.
Without this, you can only select MySQL as the connection type.
This means that ADOBD will use the wrong drivers to connect to
your DB.
2) There is an ERROR in the ADODB ODBC configuration file. The ODBC
file has a format error in the ODBC connection call.
(Site Root Folder -ADODB-adodb-odbc.inc.php)
The file tries to connect (to the DB) with
$dbh = odbc_connect ('$hostname', $username,$password);
That is an error. The correct format is
$dbh = odbc_connect ('$DSN_NAME', $username, $password);
You do not need to specify the host, for an ODBC connection. That
information is already listed in the DSN description.
Once that's done. You'll be able to use Ultradev with PHP.
I hope that helped.
-John
Again, thanks to everyone who helped me find this extension.
Don't forget my new question :) see above.

Re: [PHP] IP Chains
I don't understand why you want to connect IPCHAINS to your PHP script. Normally your IPCHAINS (or IPTABLES) firewall would be running anyway, wouldn't it? Maybe I've missed something, but I don't see how the two are linked. I'd have the PHP script check username and password, and if valid, go ahead and do whatever the script determines. I'd also have IPCHAINS running the whole time and configured to let any authorised user out/in. But there would be no direct link between the two.

Re: [PHP] web page grab
In other words ...
$grab = eregi("wish(.*)numbers .");
the (.*) is what you're grabbing.
You don't need to include the entire file up to 'wish' and beyond
'numbers', just enough to make a unique portion.
Mick
I'm trying to grab content from another web page. After having browsed
through the mailing list archives and such, it looks like I'll need to use
the eregi_replace function, but I'm not sure how to properly format the
command. The goal is to get rid of everything from the start of the page
up to the word "Wish" and everything after the word "numbers". Or, another
way of phrasing it, I'm wanting to get a web page and only use the content
between the words "Wish" and "numbers". What would be the best way of
going about this?

Re: [PHP] Post -vs- Get
abc.com?client_no=5 Now even though if that person emails you that url, you won't gain access to it bascause of authentication that is needed, what can happen is an authorized user could change the 5 in the url to 8, and then see the information that is there which belongs to client 8. Because of this I am thinking in this case I should be using the post method instead of the get method. Even then a user could save the source code of your form, alter the POST information, and send it back with the same effect. You should probably look at having some kind of individualised authentication scheme rather than a blanket one, using sessions/cookies perhaps. POST alone is not the solution.

Re: [PHP] date
Yes you can. Include a field in your db called 'date' or whatever.
Generate the date in your script using:
$today = date("Y-m-d");
Then simply add the date to the db along with everything else.
There are lots of ways to format dates, too many to describe here.
Have a look at the PHP manual.
Also, if you make the data-type of the date field 'date', your options for
formatting are more limited. That stuff is all in the MySQL manual.

Re: [PHP] passing variables
One way: Pull as much info as you need out of the db, including the email id, then have a select box or check box if you want which sends the id of the email you want to delete back to a 'DELETE FROM' sql statement. No need for cookies that I can see. Mick On Sat, 3 Mar 2001, george wrote: I have a page which pulls contact information out of a database name, email message, and displays it on a page using mysql_fetch_array so my question is how is it possible to delete one of the emails, the only way i can think of is to use a checkbox and a hidden field giving the id and then place it inside a form so all ticked so that if you tick the email and submit the form it deletes the ticked emails. However there must be a better way, perhaps using cookies TIA george -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [PHP] Hide Include-Files from the Web
Include files do not have to end with '.inc', which is purely a convention of dubious value. If you use '.php' as the extension for included files, they will have to be parsed by PHP and can't be read as plain text from outside. Mick On Sat, 3 Mar 2001 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi! I want my include-files not be seen from outside AND not be executed!!! I don't have access to a directory outside DOCUMENT_ROOT and I don't have .htaccess!!! I think about something like: 1. name: file.inc.php 2. add code: if ($PHP_SELF==MY_NAME) exit; as first line in the inluded script. so, if the script is being included from another script, the code will be executed - but if the file will be called directly, no code is executed! BUT - how do I get the include-file's name? or is it safe enough, to use something like if (substr($SCRIPT_URL,-8)==".inc.php") exit; thanks michi -- Sent through GMX FreeMail - http://www.gmx.net -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [PHP] PHP web based mailing list administrator
Yes, they are about. Try hotscripts.com.

[PHP] length limit of URL?
Does anyone know the practical limit to the length of a URL? Some of mine are now 100 characters long with heaps of variables packed in, so I'm wondering what the limits are?

Re: [PHP] passing variables
OK, sorry, I read your post in a hurry.
Something like this should work:
A HREF="the_next_page.php?id=$row[id]"Do Something/A
On the next page you'd have:
$sql = "Do Something WHERE id = '$id'";
By the way, you don't necessarily have to go to a different page in the
sense of a different file ... all your 'pages' can be part of the one php
script divided up like this:
if ($action == 'delete') { do delete stuff }
elseif ($action == 'full') { do full display }
else { just do the default }
In that case, the line above would be more like:
A HREF="the_same_page.php?action=deleteid=$row[id]"Do
Something/A
Hope this is helpful.

Thanks Michael,
but what I plan on doing is pulling the name,subject and email
address out of the db, then giving the option to view the full message, but
i have had to do this using a form so my code looks like
trform metod=post action=view_enq.phpinput type=hidden name=id
value=$row[id]td bgcolor=#cc$row[title] $row[name]/tdtd
bgcolor=#cc$row[subject]/td
";
echo
"td bgcolor=#cc$row[email]/tdtd align=center
bgcolor=#ccinput type=submit name=submit value=view/td/form/
tr";
}
echo "/table/td/tr/table/td/tr/table";
I plan to add hidden fields for all the information pulled out the db my
question is this how do you pass variables into the next page without using
a form.
can it be done say instead of a form there was a link next to each message
which said view, clicking on this takes you to a page where you read the
full mail, then there are another 2 links on for reply and one for
delete.How could that be done
Thanks in advance
george

[PHP] multiple databases
I'd like to run this past anyone who'd care to comment before I get too far down the track I'm considering taking with a PHP web portal site. Is it a wise idea to have a PHP web application running on multiple databases? Everything I've done to date has run off one database, no matter how large it got. With the current small portal site, the idea is to break a monolithic database up into around 10 smaller databases, each of which should be able to be backed up to a floppy. Not all databases are called on each page, but up to 6 or so could be. What are the performance implications (slower, obviously, but 10 times slower?). Performance beyond what the human mind can perceive is not relevant to me. Should I use mysql_connect or mysql_pconnect for each db connection ? Should I be careful to use mysql_close with each connection? Any advice appreciated.

Re: [PHP] multiple databases
Do you mean 10 different database servers, or 10 databases on the one server? 10 databases on the one server. As far as I know, separate databases on the one server give the same performance as separate tables in one database. Music to my ears. With separate database servers you will run into new problems such as: -) can't combine data from servers, e.g. can't JOIN tables OK ... I didn't realise I could join tables across seperate databases. Anywhere where joins are necessary, I'm using the one database.

[PHP] Stylesheets
I'm building a PHP application which uses stylesheets. Stylesheets seem to be broken in a big way on my system - using Netscape 4 something on Red Hat 6.1. Is this Netscape or somehow something to do with PHP? Things work as they're supposed to viewing the pages on a Windows/IE box.

Re: [PHP] javascript in PHP statement
I am new to php and I am wondering if it is possible to use a javascript
variable in a php statement for example:
// create sql statement
$sql = "select * from main where businesstype = "consultancy" and
top.upper.villagename = != "0";";
As far as I know, no. Unless "top.upper.villagename" is a field in your
database and the rest is that field's contents (couldn't be ... too many
unescaped double quotes and semicolons). Nope, SQL statements don't work
like that and can only refer directly to data in a database, not php or
any other variables.
You might consider using if statements something like this:
if ($top.upper.villagename != '0') {
$sql = "SELECT * FROM main WHERE business = 'consultancy'";
}
Hope this helps
