[PHP] Sessions/Browser back button

Hi I have the following code that breaks:
// PLACE NICK INTO NICKNAMES.TXT AND START OFF MESSAGES.TXT
$fileID = fopen($path . "/nicknames.txt", "a") or die("Could not open " .
$path . "/nicknames.txt");
chmod($path . "/nicknames.txt", 0755);
fputs($fileID, $nickname . "\n"); fflush($fileID); fclose($fileID);
$fileID = fopen($path . "/messages.txt", "a") or die("Could not open " .
$path . "/messages.txt");
fputs($fileID, "*** WELCOME \"" . $nickname . "\" TO THE ROOM ***");
fflush($fileID); fclose($fileID);
I am getting the following error:
Warning: fopen("/users/ppowell/web/chat/nicknames.txt", "a") - Permission
denied in /users/ppowell/web/chat/chat.php on line 163
I am attempting to write onto the files if they exist, if not, create them
on the fly. I need the solution in the next 5 minutes - sorry, kind of an
emergency!
If anyone can help, please tell me what to do, the PHP manuals are not
giving me a clear solution as to how to write to a file that does not yet
exist that has to have the permissions of 0755 for both files.
Thanx
Phil

[PHP] Identifying users
Anyone know off of hand - Is there a reliable/semi-reliable way of looking users up by country. e.g - On the likes of altavista or google, I have noticed that if you type in www.altavista.com and you are in the uk, it will redirect to uk.altavista.com, and google aswell for certain countrys.

[PHP] images
Not sure if this would be anyway possible, hopefull some of you GD gurus will have an idea. Basically the scenario is, I have a dirtectory of images(5 to be exact). What I want to be able to do is something similar to the script below, which randomizes a gif image selection. the file is called "image.php", the person calls it like they would an image: and boom there ya have a nice gif image. But what I want to be able to do is join together a number of images, so based on certain conditions, a user could call and this would show maybe two/three/four images joined together. I can do this with one fine, but I thought there may be some sort of GD function that would tackle this.

You should have session_start(); on every page that you want to hold the

The way I would do what you are trying to achieve is go the $_SUPERGLOBALS

Also, another good way of debugging etc is to use the print_r() function

[PHP] not sure why regex is doing this
Hi,
I have a text file that I have to parse and insert into a db.
these are a couple of sample lines (they are part of the
variable $query)
(4536,'golf tournament management',430,0,0),
(1434,'Premium golf balls',,,0),
I have to replace the blank entries (,,) with NULLs,
and I am using this regex:
$query = preg_replace('/,\s*,/',',NULL,', $query, -1);
after this line, only ONE of the ,, sets is replaced
by ,NULL, like this:
(4536,'golf tournament management',430,0,0),
(1434,'Premium golf balls',NULL,,0),
So, my problem is that I have to run the regex twice to
replace both sets of ,, with ,NULL, and I really don't
want to do that. Why isn't it getting them both with the
first regex, and how should I modify it to catch them
both?
TIA,
Craig

RE: [PHP] Form validation: client- or server-side?
> Is there a distinct advantage to doing form validation / > error checking on > the server side using PHP? The actual code you use to validate remains hidden from a potential malicious user, while javascript code can be seen, so if there is a hole in your error checking, it can be found easier. The big advantage to javascript is that it is fast, since a request isn't sent back to the server, processed, and then sent back. It also reduces network traffic, and reduces server load. > That's how I've always done it > because I know > PHP better than JavaScript, but wouldn't it make sense to > validate as much > of your form as possible using JavaScript before the form was > ever posted? > I'm just talking about the basics, like empty required fields, illegal > characters, string lengths, etc. even if you partially validate on the client, you still have to validate on the client side, which seems redundant to me. > > What are your preferred methods?

you have to escape all of the slashes execpt the first and last that
delineate the regex.
$url =

kinda ugly, but it'll get rid of that error!

Couldn't be simpler, just use mysql_escape_string. It escapes a string

[PHP] Re: CONSTANTS and good coding practice
Constants are useful when a variable will remain exactly the same (constant)
through
the life of a script. e.g a script I wrote to calculate dates be it in the
past or future
would have constant values for how many seconds are in a day or a week. to
be used
in calculations.
e.g:
define("SECONDSINWEEK", 604800); // Number of seconds in week
define("SECONDSINDAY", 86400); // Number of seconds in day
$iDayOfWeek = 1; // 0 to 6 - 0 being Sunday
$iNumWeeks = 12; // Number of weeks to lookback
$iOffsetTimestamp = 0; // Initialize this var
$iCurTime = time();
$iCurDay = date("w", $iCurTime);
^^^ The above constants will always be what they are defined as. Constant
:-)
Also another advantage of using constants, is that it can make your code
easier
to read. Usually constant names are declare in uppercase, which helps to
break
up your code.

[PHP] random alphanumeric value generator
Hi,
I am trying to generate a non-sequential random alphanumeric value.
Just to make things fun, I need to guarantee that each value is unique.
I have a working solution, but it seems retarded to me because there
is a small chance that 2 people might hit the same page at the same
time, do separate inserts, but both get the same MAX(uiIndex) value.
Is there a better way to do this?
TIA,
Craig
table defn:
create table randomKey (
uiIndex int unsigned auto_increment not null primary key,
cKeychar(20) unique
);
function getKey() {
//get random number into db. it is guaranteed
//unique from db once result = true because
//cKey is unique
$query = 'INSERT INTO randomKey (cKey) VALUES (RAND())';
while (!$result = mysql_query($query, dbConnect($errorMsg))) {
//do nothing, just loop until result = true
}
//now get the random number, and MD5 it to get it alphanumeric
$query = 'SELECT MAX(uiIndex), cKey FROM randomKey GROUP BY cKey';
$result = mysql_query($query, dbConnect($errorMsg));
$row = mysql_fetch_object($result);
return md5($row->cKey);
}

[PHP] problem referencing a mysql object
Hi,
the problem is that I am trying to use a varible in the objects
attribute name. the offending line of code is:
echo "";
this is giving the warning:
Undefined property: cPic
I have tried playing with eval and variable variables to
get 'cPic$count' to look like 'cPic1' before trying to
use it, but nothing is working. There has to be a way
to do this. Any help is greatly appreciated.
-Craig
while ($row = mysql_fetch_object($result)) {
//other code...
$count = 1;
while ($count <= $row->tiPicCount) {
echo "";
++$count;
}
//other code...
}

[PHP] triple DES encryption
Hi all, I have to replicate the file encryption of a desktop bound application. This means using triple DES, but I can't find anything on the web or in the maunual (other than single DES). Does anyone know if it is doable to implement this using php, or if I should just tell the client that it can't be done? TIA, Craig -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
RE: [PHP] triple DES encryption
Thanks, I wasn't looking for 3DES. That should do the trick for me.

[PHP] mycrypt 3des (php vs .net)
Hi all,
I am truly hoping that someone can help with this.
I am making the ecommerce site for a product that
I had nothing to do with the development of. =)
The product is making a licence file using the .net
3des, but I am not able to get the same output using
the mcrypt 3des.
this is the .net original text and the cipher text:
Golf Genie 5.0
ª:b#æa"[EMAIL PROTECTED]">#p0, 7
this is what i get
¿^U`ÎdÀ4`oãõwÑî% - from Golf Genie 5.0
¿^U`ÎdÀ4!é$G Iø - from Golf Genie 5.0\r\n
I don't know too much about encyrption, and I have found
the documentation of mcrypt to be the worst of any php
module I have yet used, so i'm not sure of the consequenses
of using cbc versus ecb are, etc.
here is the code i am using.
$key =
"\x6B\x00\x64\x00\x4E\x00\x44\x00\x38\x00\x37\x00\x5E\x00\x21\x00";
$input = "Golf Genie 5.0";
$iv = "\x2B\x00\x5F\x00\x65\x00\x6B\x00";
$td = mcrypt_module_open ('tripledes', '', 'cbc', '');
mcrypt_generic_init ($td, $key, $iv);
$encrypted_data = mcrypt_generic ($td, $input);
mcrypt_module_close ($td);
echo $encrypted_data;
ps. I can't use mcrypt_generic_deinit - i get 'Fatal error: Call to
undefined function: mcrypt_generic_deinit()... '
thanks in advance,
Craig

I did check out the .net documentation and it uses cbc, but maybe I'll
try
the other modes for kicks.

[PHP] functions and session variables
Hi, I just want to verify something that seems counterintuitive to me. Do you have to pass session variables to functions? It would seem to me that they should be available anywhere. I took a cursory look through the manual, but didn't see anything relevant. Thanks, Craig -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
