[PHP] Session cookies appearing where there is no session
This must sound pretty far-fetched, but as far as I can tell, my site is attempting to set a session cookie from any and all PHP pages, even when the page has no calls to session_* functions and where there were also no previous visits to pages with such calls. Where is the setting that is initializing these unneccessary sessions and sending the cookies? I looked for something in php.ini or phpinfo() to explain it, but came up empty. Below are excerpts from a phpinfo() dump. I wondered about that "session.use_trans_sid", but there's no reference to it in my php.ini file (yes, I checked that phpinfo says I'm looking at the correct one) and I also cannot find anything about it in the PHP.net online docs.

For whatever reason, no word in $bannedwords will match in the string. I've
tested it with simple expressions like "\btest\b" and it will not match the
word "test".
Have you tried it with either "[:space:]$bannedwords[$i][:space:] or
"\$bannedwords[$i]\" yet? Also, I think using a foreach($bannedwords as
$current_word) would be a better choice here; more compact, and loops all
the way to the end of the array even when the numerical index does not
follow the expected sequence. (BTW, if you want to stick with the for()
and you know the index numbers will always be sequentially zero to
whatever, then your test should be just $i$num. Otherwise, you're
skipping the final loop.)

You're print()ing in the order shown above, right? Print() then trim()
then split()? Because that sounds like you're attempting to do a "split()"
on an array. That function is for turning a string into an array; if it's
already an array, then just get rid of the split() and do your count() on
$thelinefromfile.

[PHP] Need key() equivalent for string variable
I'm trying to pass a string variable to a custom function, echoing its
*value on one line, and its *name (that is, its key if this were an array
instead of a string) on another line. I searched the manual's sections on
variable functions and string functions, to no avail. I tried key(), but
it just produces a warning that $var is not an array. Example:
build_select_menu($display,array("Y","N"));
function build_select_menu($field,$options_array)
{
echo 'pSELECT NAME="' . key($field) . '"' . "\n"; //need to echo
name of string passed as first argument
foreach($options_array as $option)
{
echo 'OPTION VALUE="Y"';
if($field=="$option") {echo ' SELECTED';}
echo "$option/OPTION\n";
}
echo "/SELECT/p\n";
}
Thanks!

I think you are looking for "variable variables"...
A variable variable results in a second variable which is named for the
*value of the first. So what I need is a sort of "inverse variable
variable" to extract the *name of the first variable:
$foo="bar"
echo $foo //"bar"
echo [something] //"foo"
I ended up doing a clumsy workaround by altering $foo--
$foo="bar"
$foo=array("foo"=$foo)
echo $foo[key($foo)]; //"bar"
echo key($foo); //"foo"
--but then I'm having to tell PHP the very info that I was hoping it'd
dynamically tell me. Any other suggestions would be much appreciated!

Probably. You could check the manual's page on preg_match (the user
annotations often have very useful code examples), phpbuilder.com,
hotscripts.com, etc. A quick, oversimplified example:
Let's say your complete text was (no laughing now g) "Mary had a little
lamb, its fleece was white as snow." where "Mary had a " and "fleece was
white as snow." are always consistent but whatever's happens to be the
portion of the text between them is what you want to extract. You could do
something like--
$search_string="Mary had a little lamb, its fleece was white as snow.";
$status=preg_match("/^Mary had a(.*)(?=fleece was white as
snow.)$/i",$search_string,$match_text);
In which case, $status would evaluate to true if a (case-insensitive) match
was found, and $match_text[1] would contain " little lamb, its ".

Or would it require a dedicated cracker and/or someone writing their own browser to give a false report (vs. no report at all)? IE and NS aren't the only browsers in use today. I know iCab allows the user to disable sending of HTTP_REFERER. I believe Opera may too. I'm not sure about the capabilities of Konqueror and Lynx in this regard. Also, AFAIK, no browser will send an HTTP_REFERER where the url request was typed/pasted in directly by the user, or where the request came via a bookmark. Most of the robots which visit my sites also don't leave an HTTP_REFERER. So there are some common examples of "no report". And while I haven't actually tried this, I assume that anyone could write their own HTTP_REFERER simply by using fsockopen().

$message = $Info ."br". $Phone ."br". $Email;
"br" is used in hypertext markup language (HTML). Email (unless specially
encoded--MIME headers, ugh!) does not use HTML.
"/n" is a slash followed by the letter n.
"\n" is a newline on *nix system (Unix, Linux, etc.).
"\r\n" is a Wintel linebreak. It's also the standard for linebreaks within
emails.

[PHP] Catch timeouts
I'm resetting set_time_limit() with each iteration of a rather long loop. Right now when the script reaches its time limit I sometimes end up getting just a blank page. Even though I call flush() within each iteration and do lots of error checking along the way, it seems to not be enough. I could have sworn I once saw a function that would check whether the script was being cancelled because a timeout had occured, thereby allowing you to make a more graceful exit from the script. But now I can't seem to locate anything like that in the manual. If someone could point me to the right function, or suggest an alternative method for catching those timeouts, I would be grateful.

Of course, we don't want to have out files writeable by the world. I have

access the directory is also the owner of the file.
What seems to happen once I get authenticated and allowed into the

so when I submit the file changes I get permissions error. Everything works
fine with all of the different programs I've tried; if I simply give
everybody write access to the file, but that is not an option.
Yes, your web server is apparently running as user "nobody", a common
configuration. See the manual chapter on security for more info on setting
proper file permissions with PHP.

The keys to an associative array should be quoted. Also, that escaped

You can pass the variable(s) to the function as an argument. Perhaps it

Try quoting the index key (which is, after all, a string), and moving the

Save an extra microsecond or so g.

PHP's loose typing means that !$somevar evalutes as true if the variable is null, if it has an (integer, float, or string) value of zero, if it's an empty string, or if it is set to boolean false. Or if the variable/index does not exist. Both methods have their place (though for tests of the latter, I prefer empty()). The important part is understanding the implications of a method when you use it, so that your code isn't wrongly relying on !$somevar to mean the variable isn't set; it may well have been set, to a meaningful value which just happens to evaluate to false. -- CC -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

That's true, the URL does not appear there as a single preset variable; it's up to you to re-assemble a URL out of the variables that are available, and thus the need to scan the vars phpinfo() has to offer. Since you're using PHP as a CGI, somewhat different variables get set than when PHP is run as a module, so a call to phpinfo() is the best way to identify the right vars for accomplishing your task. Question: before you dismissed phpinfo() as useless, did you call it and look at what's there?

C) Error checking on database operations is a really good idea. Even just
a short or die() on the mysql_* calls can help you track down problems
much more effectively. For example:

That just doesn't work, so I have to first go:
$sid = $_SESSION['id'];
$result = mysql_query(select user from users where id = $sid, $db);
Anyway to get around this?
Curly braces:
$result = mysql_query(select user from users where id =
{$_SESSION['id']}, $db);

[PHP] Re: dealing with # in urls
In article [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Mark) wrote: in php.ini there is a variable called arg separator.input that looks like it can help but when I add the line: arg separator.input = # I still get $id = 0#top Did you restart the server after modifying php.ini? As for http://mysite.com/test.php?id=0#top; sometimes resulting in id='0' and sometimes id='0#', perhaps this is a situation where letting PHP register the globals automatically is not the way to go. You could instead extract the query string from the URL by using parse_url() http://php.net/parse-url, then turn that query string into variables by using parse_str() http://php.net/parse-str. -- CC -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
