using a form POST has virtually unlimited amount data that can be sent.
if you have to keep passing the data around, I would suggest to storing
the data in a session of some sort then just passing the session
variable around in the urls.

Please read the archives.
The list is not the originator/sender of any particular message and hence
should not be the subject of any reply or reply-to. Therefore it follows that
it is not the list's responsibility to set a reply-to header pointing to
itself.
It is the mail client's job (or the list subscriber to be more precise) to
direct a reply to the appropriate place and not the list's responsibility to
second-guess where a reply should be directed.

Nonsense, all clients understand reply-to if it's there and that is the
obligation of the sender which in this case is the list server not my
client.
Please read the archives.
There's several thousand emails in there, give me a subject or something. I
already attempted to do that but the search only takes 2 words, it looks
like and chances I use the relevant ones are low, just spent some time
without any relevant success.
The list is not the originator/sender of any particular message and hence
should not be the subject of any reply or reply-to. Therefore it follows
that it is not the list's responsibility to set a reply-to header
pointing to itself.
So what you're saying is that all the lists i've been on in the past 7-8
years were doing it wrong but this one doesn't. The list is not the
originator of my message but an inteligent list server knows that the vast
majority of the clients want to reply to the list not the originator of the
message.
It is the mail client's job (or the list subscriber to be more precise)
to direct a reply to the appropriate place and not the list's
responsibility to second-guess where a reply should be directed.
So what do I do if I have one account only? Should I keep changing the
Reply-To for each email I send so that replies to other unrelated mail
don't end up on php list? The list should second-guess members of the list
want to reply to the list 99% of the time without being wrong.

What does your sendmail_path say in your config, and what OS are you
running.
Read:
http://us2.php.net/mail
and
http://php.net/function.mail
Oh, and your from should contain a valid email too, otherwise it prolly
get bounced to /dev/null

Check your php error logs and your mailserver logs.
A good and quick way to check whether mail on your system is working correctly
is to use error_log() with the mail option.

That's because:
---------------
You have started a new thread by taking an existing posting and replying to
it while you changed the subject.
That is bad, because it breaks threading. Whenever you reply to a message,
your mail client generates a "References:" header that tells all recipients
which posting(s) your posting refers to. A mail client uses this information
to build a threaded view ("tree view") of the postings.
With your posting style you successfully torpedoed this useful feature; your
posting shows up within an existing thread it has nothing to do with.
Always do a fresh post when you want to start a new thread. To achieve this,
click on "New message" instead of "Reply" within your mail client, and enter
the list address as the recipient. You can save the list address in your
address book for convenience.

In the above, $you =='john'.

script never sees the password just verifies the hash.
So, I can't sniff the password, but I can sniff the hash and then send
the same one when I want access. This doesn't protect much until the
user changes their password and I have to get their new hash.

The method isn't fool proof. There other things the authentication
checks for when building the hash.
User Requests login form:
1. when the user requests the login page the auth program generates a
key which is something like md5(rand()).
2. stores that key in session variable for the next request.
User Submits form:
3. when the form is submitted a javascipt function takes the key and
hashes the password with the key (and otherstuff)
4. the auth program then looks at the users session stuff finds the
key that it generated, from when the user first requested the page.
5. uses the session key and the users password from the database and
hashes those together.
6. if they match then the following was true.
- user currently has the currect session (expires after time)
- user currently has the corrrect (psudo secret) key (expires
after time)
- user is from the same ip (optional)
- user had entered the correct password.
7. on fail or success, the key is marked as stale (expired). If it
failed a new key is generated, and we restart the login form
process.
So.. if you followed that and I explained it well enough...
if you do sniff the hash, the key, and the session. You will have to
get your request in before the key becomes stale, otherwise that
information you have is bad. In most cases the authentication is the
first thing done so we're dealing with micro seconds.
You can check the code out if you want its over on sourceforge
(called DiggerAuth).

I followed this recent thread with some interest, because I'd like to be
able to set the return-path header for a script that emails to a large list,
which would in turn allow me to identify bounced emails. I'm using a shared
host server, with PHP running as the master account user name, so the
return-path for emails is something like "Return-Path:
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>". I had accepted that I could not change
the return-path value with PHP, but reading about this fifth parameter
renewed my hope that I could.
I tried adding a fifth parameter to mail() in order to do this, like so:
// fifth mail() parameter to set envelope sender
$cmd_line_param = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]";
mail("$fullname<$email>", $subject, $message, $headers, $cmd_line_param);
This didn't change the return-path header. Perhaps the problem is that I
have no idea what the syntax of the command line parameter is (what the "-f"
does).
Can anyone advise? Is it possible to use this fifth parameter to set the
return-path header, and if so, what's the syntax?
TIA,

I believe its '-f [EMAIL PROTECTED]', could be different depending on wich
sendmail your using.
I'm curious though what if your sendmail already has a -f on it:
php.ini: sendmail_path=sendmail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
thus a command
sendmail [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Also, the 5th paramater is disabled in safe_mode, check that also if the
above doesn't work.

Hello All,
I have asked before about serial port programing with PHP and have gotten
great advice and now I am stuck again.
Okay here is my problem.
I want to have a php app executed upon a modem connection. Currently the
/sbin/login is what is executed.
Does anyone have any clues on this or where I may want to look. I am using
mgetty as my modem connection control.
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
I have implemented the Auto session timeout after the
specific period of time.
What i am doing is..At the time of login to the
system, my script is storing the current unix time
into the session and later on at every user click, It
(my script) is checking the stored unix time with the
current time. So, if you want to auto logout the user
after 30 minutes of inactivity then you need to store
auto session timeout interval to 30 min.
Algorith is..If session stored time + auto session
timeout interval > current time then my script
automatically logout the user from the system
otherwise my script stores the current unix time in
the session.
My problem is.. If user is doing some work on the
particular page (Ex. user is writing some stuff on the
specific page) but my script is counting this thing to
inactive period.. so after 31 minutes if user is
completing the writing and hit submit button then he
is getting the session expired screen and he is
loosing all the contents on that particular page..
Please let me know if any one has solution for this.
Let me know if i am unclear at any point.
Thanks

What you could do, at the point you realize the session has times out,
is save the contents of $_GET, $_POST, or $_REQUEST (depending upon your
script) and the current URL of the page in the session. Have the user
log in again. The "login validation" page then checks for the saved
values, and if they are there, redirects back to that page. Then the
user doesn't lose anything. It'll require a little work, but short of
increasing your time-out limit, that's the best option. There's no way
to tell if a user is working on filling out a page or has left the
browser open.

Me,
I have 2 functions. 1 I call - immediate and other refresh.. the
difference is one as the name implies is immediate - (like chris pointed out
below ) ->
header('Location: http://yoursite.org/us/index.php');
The other is more of a refresh kind, waits a default of 2 secs (for me so
that I can show a warning message before it redirects..
function header_refresh_html($l_refresh_url)
{
// This is taken from php-manual
header("Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT");
// Date in the past
header("Last-Modified: " . gmdate("D, d M Y H:i:s") . " GMT"); //
always modified
header("Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate"); //
HTTP/1.1
header("Cache-Control: post-check=0, pre-check=0", false);
header("Pragma: no-cache");
// HTTP/1.0
header( "Refresh:2;url=$l_refresh_url" ); // Wait
default of 2 seconds
}

If it's not obvious from examining the code then you have to get down to
some
serious debugging. Most importantly you need to:
- incorporate error checking into your code, examine the values
returned from
all functions
- var_dump() all your major variables and verify that they are what you
expect them to be

Hi,
I am trying to create a small php program where I can control users
processes. As far as I see I require Apache to run as root in order to do
this (Note: I wish to access it via a webpage run through a browser). At
the moment all pages are executed as user 'apache' (UID #48 in this case).
Other than giving apache root access which i hear is a very bad thing to do,
what other ways can i use the posix_seteuid() functions and the like.
Any help at all will be really appreciated.
Thanks,
Dave

There is an example in the contributed notes on the site under the
posix_setuid. Baically it is a perl script that is ran in cgi mode that
is setuid'd. then opens a php script that runs the setuid script.
I dont see why, if you choose this method is to just bypass the perl cgi
and just make your php cgi setuid.
I'm not sure of any security issues in doing that but it seems better
than running your whole apache server as root.

Been There..
Was a REAL pain to figure that out one..
Have a look through PhpMyAdmin's (source) scripts, I see there's a bash
shell code that actually searches through some of it's php files for
sanitation for the exact same purpose. (Haven't played with it yet though)

Subject: Something to watch look for when getting HEADER Warnings
Recently, I ran into a problem where I continually got a "Header already
sent" message.
I took me a while to figure out because the file that was "included"
only contained function definitions, or so I thought.
After the closing php tag, I had a new line with a single space on it.
This space was, in turn, sent to the browser.
---- file.php begin (blah, not working) -----
<?php
function seomthing()
{ //do something
}
?>[enter]
[space]
---- file.php end ------
It wasn't until I removed the single space and any additional newlines
that all worked fine.
Any non-null lines outside of the php tags will results in voiding all
rights to send any header or cache information, and this includes
space or newline characters.
Just an FYI.
---- file.php begin (cool, it works now) -----
<?php
function seomthing()
{ //do something
}
?>[no newline]
---- file.php end ------
Actually, you can have a newline after the clsoing php tab, but if you
have a
non-null string following that (this includes newline characters), bad
bad stuff can happen.

I have a 2 form value on 500/pcs and 1000/pcs
And i was hoping how will i compute this when i comes to this code..
--- start --------------------
$final_price_usmail = ( $bcard_price + $usmail_price );
$final_price_courier = ( $bcard_price + $courier_price );
if ($v_sendvia === 'USMail') {
echo '$' . $bcard_price . ' (Business Card) + ' . $usmail_price . ' (U.S.
Mail) = $' . $final_price_usmail . '.00';
} elseif ($v_sendvia === 'Courier') {
echo '$' . $bcard_price . ' (Business Card) + ' . $courier_price . '
(Courier) = $' . $final_price_courier . '.00';
}
--- end --------------------
Im looking for a way that when the user click on the 1000/pcs it will
compute * 2.
But i couldt figure this out..

Can you set the path type to 'Site Root Relative' in Dreamveaver ?
