I can't seem to locate the php.ini file on my system. Here's some pertinent info from phpinfo(): PHP Version 4.0.4pl1 System Linux i686 unknown Configure Command './configure' '--with-mysql' '--with-apxs' '--enable-versioning' Server API Apache Configuration File (php.ini) Path /usr/local/lib find -name php.ini reveals no php.ini file. /usr/local/lib contains a php directory. The php directory seems to only contain PHP 4.0 source code. There IS a php3.ini file on the system, from a previous install. Is there any chance that this file is still being used? Where SHOULD this file be? And how do I find out for sure which one it is? Is it possible that it doesn't exist? If not, does that mean I could create one in /usr/local/lib? Where am I supposed to get a default version? Thanks, Ken
Ken, if PHP is 'built in' to apache (--with-apxs, besides other ways to achieve this), it is configured through Apache. This is either httpd.conf, or .htaccess files within your web tree. The 'configuration' section in the manual is more specific on that.

Hi Ken, that looks like both are being read, which I wasn't aware of. Thanks for pointing out. Setting things within the apache configuration is quite useful if you want to set them on a per-directory basis, or have different settings for .php and .phtml files, etc, etc. Cheers, Ben Ken wrote: > > At 07:08 AM 2/27/01 +0100, Ben Peter wrote: > >Ken, > > > >if PHP is 'built in' to apache (--with-apxs, besides other ways to > >achieve this), it is configured through Apache.

SNIP > > I mean, of course > header("Location: page.php"); > > Must teach fingers to wait for brain to engage :-) According to RFC2616, 'Location: ' header must be absolute URI (i.e. http://example.com/test.html), most browser works with relative URI, though. 'Content-Location: ' can be both absolute and relative. Someone mentioned Apache's response header differ when 'Location: ' header is absolute and relative. he/she said when 'Location: ' is realative Apache send Status: 200, when it is abosolute apache send Status: 302.

hi all, how do i keep an array of variable "alive" thru different pages... array is assigned with value at say index.php... user will move from tat page to say index2... index3... index4.php.. in index4.php i can still access the array... thanks..

OK, I answered my own question. After researching on php.net, I determined that the php.ini should have been in /usr/local/lib, but was missing, presumably because whoever did the install skipped the step of copying php.ini-dist to /usr/local/lib/php.ini. I downloaded a source .tar, extracted it, found php.ini-dist, copied it to /usr/local/lib/php.ini, restarted Apache, and I'm in business. So, PHP was using default values in lieu of a php.ini file. - Ken At 12:11 AM 2/27/01 -0500, Ken wrote: >I can't seem to locate the php.ini file on my system. > >Here's some pertinent info from phpinfo(): > >PHP Version 4.0.4pl1 >System Linux i686 unknown >Configure Command './configure' '--with-mysql' '--with-apxs' '--enable-versioning' >Server API Apache >Configuration File (php.ini) Path /usr/local/lib > >find -name php.ini reveals no php.ini file. > >/usr/local/lib contains a php directory.

Hi, I'm trying to use an authentication method I found in a tutorial in the net. The server prompts for username/password. But if I enter the hard coded values (or any other values) the server rejects them with a message authorization failed. I use PHP 4 as a module on IIS Thanks very much for any help, here is the program I got from the tutorial. <?php if ( ( !isset( $PHP_AUTH_USER )) || (!isset($PHP_AUTH_PW)) || ( $PHP_AUTH_USER != 'user' ) || ( $PHP_AUTH_PW != 'open' ) ) header( 'WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="Private"' ); header( 'HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized' ); echo 'Authorization Required.'; exit; } else echo 'Success!'; } ?>
Try this, it works for me. Mike if(!isset($PHP_AUTH_USER)) { Header("WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm=\"User Database\""); Header("HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized"); echo "<H1>ERROR</H1>You must enter a correct username and password in order to proceed\n"; exit; } else { if ($PHP_AUTH_USER=="admin" && $PHP_AUTH_PW=="love2change"){ print "You are successfully authenticated"; } else { Header("WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm=\"User Database\""); Header("HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized"); echo "You did not supply proper credentials and are therefore denied login\n"; exit; } } ?> -----Original Message----- From: Amer Alhabsi [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, February 27, 2001 1:42 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] User Authentication Hi, I'm trying to use an authentication method I found in a tutorial in the net.

Hi, I have looked at the docs and was not able to find anything covering this subject. Hope you guys can help out. First a little info about my system: Linux 2.2.16 Apache 1.3.12 php 4.0.2 I have a prepend and append includes in php.ini, this works fine without php being in safe_mode Now in the near feature, I will need to put php in safe_mode, so I can host some other domains. If I set php in Safe_mode (safe_mode on) then my prepend/append files will not work, anyone have suggestions how to solve this ? -- Kim Lindberg ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) The Summercamp Association Look at our site: www.scouting.dk
does session_register() "over-write existing variable of the same name...? for example.. //count already registered and holds value 3. session_register("count"); print $count; //output null;
looks like it might.

A good ide specifically for PHP is being developed rather rapidly. It's called PHP Studio and once version 2.0 is complete (should be within 2 weeks) an announcement will be posted to this list. Good luck until then Dan Cleveland PHP Studio Programmer

Hi We have been using Interbase for all our php development and have not experienced problems. The oprational database is 4gigs and if we execute large queries on it we recieve sub-second responses so speed is definetly not a problem Interbase is a good way to go if you have need for a relational database and of course a bonus is that it is free :) ----- Original Message ----- From: Arnold Gamboa <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, February 27, 2001 11:00 AM Subject: [PHP] PostgreSQL vs InterBase > I hve heard a great deal about InterBase.

Hi Can anyone guide me how to do the logout function that can get rid off session and cookies? Both are used to store userID and password through the site. Jack [EMAIL PROTECTED] "There is nothing more rewarding than reaching the goal you set for yourself"
essentially, no. PHP runs server side and the action of a form is generated client-side. To run a PHP function the page needs to be resubmitted.

If I run the script from a dos prompt at the server, the file is printed to the Novell queue, but if the php3 script is 'run' from a web page it does not print. I have also tried the using the 'system()' function with the same result. By altering the php script, I can make the output go to a printer attached to the server's lpt1 port, so I know the syntax is OK. I have tried the 'net use lpt2 \\server\print_queue ' command both in the windows registry and in a batch file (see below) to send the output to the queue. I have also tried putting the print and net use commands in a batch file and run that from php3. Maybe someone can see a better approach or has done something like this before. Cheers KIM
This script works properly under PHP 3.0.18, but in PHP 4.0.4pl1 is the result file empty. When I add commented line #2 instead of calling MyEcho, it works correctly. When I add lines #1, it works somehow strange. After fwrite and fclose is file empty and after second fopen (and no fwrite) "OK" appears in it. What am I doing wrong? <? function MyEcho($Text) { global $GlPOutputFile, $GlOutputFile; fwrite($GlPOutputFile, $Text); #1 fclose($GlPOutputFile); #1 copy($GlOutputFile, "after_write"); #1 $GlPOutputFile=fopen($GlOutputFile, 'a'); } { $GlOutputFile=uniqid("/tmp/").".tmp"; $GlPOutputFile=fopen($GlOutputFile, "w"); MyEcho("OK"); #2 fwrite($GlPOutputFile, "OK"); fclose($GlPOutputFile); copy($GlOutputFile, "result"); unlink($GlOutputFile); } ?>
Is there any equivalent to Java's try-catch or Perl's eval{BLOCK}if($@) structure in PHP?
Jason, Thanks for the reply, and you confirmed that I'm caught between the devil and the deep! At the same time, it's good to know that permissions work! As my client is real twitchy about changing directories, etc. I guess I'll write a little script to do all this and he can run it from his home directory after a SSH login. That will do everything for him automatically. It's a bit of a pain really, because he has to use three programs: WS-FTP to upload the files Administration web page to do the conversion to PHP Tera Term SSH to run a "publish_this" script. (I know we could have done the upload with PHP, but when WS-FTP costs only $30 it ain't worth it.)

Just remember that not everyone surfs with their browser window maximised..... IIRC there's a window.innerheight and .innerwidth in NN's model, but not in IE's <sigh> Cheers Jon -----Original Message----- From: Todd Kerpelman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 26 February 2001 19:03 To: PHP Subject: RE: [PHP] Screen Size? > How do you determine a user's screen size (resolution)? Isn't there a > variable/function for this? I doubt you could do this in PHP, since your browser doesn't normally include screen size information in the headers it sends across to web servers. However, JavaScript can do this -- there's a screen object, with properties called screen.width and screen.height that specify (surprisingly enough) the width and height of the user's screen. You could create a form with some hidden inputs, and have a JavaScript body onLoad() event that would set the values of these hidden inputs to your user's screen size. When PHP receives this form. it could process the information from there.

hi.. i have the problem that i need to connect to a database on a server wich is quiet often offline. how can i connect to this database (mysql) and can check if the server is online. like.. if server is online -> fine we work as normaly if server is NOT online -> print out message and say "server offline try later".... i tried something like mysql_connect and then die ... but it takes approx 5 mins.. till i get the message.. do i have to set the timeout lower? and if yes.. how do i do that ? markus

You could use ping command like this: exec("ping -c 4 TheServer",$out_arr); ...and evaluate the $out_arr to see if the ping command was successful. Robert

This should do what you want: system("ping -c 1 www.someurl.com", $retval); if($retval == 0) { #server is alive } else { #server is down } HTH -Marc- #/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/# #Marc Swanson | \|||/ # #MSwanson Consulting | /o o\ # #Phone: (603)868-1721 |-ooo----O----ooo-# #Fax: (603)868-1730 | Solutions in: # #[EMAIL PROTECTED] | 'PHP 'Perl # # | 'SQL 'C++ # # | 'HTML 'Sh/Csh# # http://www.mswanson.com | 'Javascript # #/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/#
mysql_connect does not have a timeout option :( I wonder if your timeout is not because of mysql_connect but more a dns problem, try putting the IP in, see if it times out at a more reasonable speed. if not try fsockopen http://php.net/manual/en/function.fsockopen.php open the port, if no errors, close the port and continue, if there are errors then you know the server is down. fsockopen allows for a timeout option, set it to 2 sec or something, should be ok. <?php if ( !($fp = fsockopen ('mysql.server.com', 3306, $errno, $errstr, 2)) ) { echo " There has been an error : $errstr ($error) <br> "; } else mysql_connect('mysql.server.com', 'mysql_user', 'mysql_passwd'); ?> is this server prone to alot of ups and downs ? might want to stay away from mysql_pconnect(). -- Chris Lee Mediawaveonline.com ph. 250.377.1095 ph. 250.376.2690 fx. 250.554.1120 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ""Markus H.

Does anyone know how to stream information to a browser (without the client having to hit refresh)? What do I need to get started? We want to have 2 numbers we want to display on the browser, we want these numbers to change as the data changes in the table, but done "streaming". * I am coding this in PHP of course : ) * Karl
Karl, Your demanding a lot of a stateless device. I seem to remember reading something, somewhere in Goodman's JavaScript Bible about sending output after the page had "finished". Your other option may be to use frames and have the frame contain the values you want refreshed. You're going to spend a lot of time keeping track of where you are.

I am developing a PHP application for a client that allows users at remote locations to access and update a database. I would like to standardize on one www browser so that the help desk people only have to be knowledgeable about one browser. The users all have MS Win 95, 98, or NT. The quality (ie. the 'bug-free-ness") of the browser's SSL code is very important. What browser should I choose? Thanks - Jim
It's been my experience that Netscape doesn't support mistakes as well as IE (example...forgetting a close td tag or close table, stuff like that), so usually if I build a page, I use Netscape to check it and it almost always works the same in IE. As far as php and ssl goes, isn't that all server stuff? I'm kinda new at the server end, so this is a good question for me 2. Is it going to be an intranet page with the company only using one browser? If not, it should really probably be made to work in both browsers equally well. my 2 cents.

J-, I have tested netscape communicator 4.76 with ssl extensively. no problems what so ever. Take a look at www.modssl.org for some of the common problems that are associated with Internet Explorer and ssl. >The users all have MS Win 95, 98, or NT.

In that aspect - it doesn't matter. i'd personally choose netscape because of their good track record and conformity to standards. M$ does things their way or the hiway. Both browsers use the RSA libs from rsa security, so as far as algo compatibility thier both the same. i think that i'm going in circles.....but to get to my point - as far as ssl is concerned thier both the same. personally if your worried about sniffing then use netscape with the 128 enc pack. what about PPTP? have you looked at that for a solution.? ~kurth >It's been my experience that Netscape doesn't support mistakes as well as IE >(example...forgetting a close td tag or close table, stuff like that), so >usually if I build a page, I use Netscape to check it and it almost always >works the same in IE.
